I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Pam Bondi said on Fox that the FBI’s arrest of a county judge is “sending a very strong message.” Yes, Pam, and that message is, this country is being ruled by fascist traitors.
Still not sure what this Substack thing even is or how to gain impressions. All I know to do is post here and there and just try and settle myself into this community and perhaps everything will work out on its own….

healing isn’t cute. it’s not aesthetic. or curatable. its not quoting affirmations you don’t believe in yet.
it’s texting a friend “i know i said i was over it. i lied.” it’s crying in the bathroom, washing your face, and going anyway. it’s learning the same lesson five times before it sticks.
its boring. messy. inconvenient. repetitive. and most of the time, it doesn’t even feel like healing. until one day, it does.

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.
I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.
Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

no one talks about how soul-affirming it is to get a “had so much fun with you” text after hanging out. not a meme. not a tiktok. not a link. just a plain little sentence saying “i like you. i like your company.” we live for that.
like when someone sends “still smiling from earlier” hours after the hang. or when they walk you to your car even though it’s 30 feet away. that’s the kind of stuff that ruins me.
hi is this where i write things to you? i’m new here. also i’m confused because i’ve been scrolling/exploring here for two hours and i feel kinder and alive-er instead of meaner and deader. is this really how it is here? if so i am very grateful. thanks for letting me into your substack party.

The hypertension-provoking revelations exceed my worst fears about the Democrats. But it may explain why the Democrats seem to be blithely committing national suicide: they don't think Trump is a threat.
I'll say it for the umpteenth time. The Democrats won't save us. Relying on them to maintain a majority anti-Trump coalition until the Republican party self-corrected in electoral defeat was never sustainable. There must be a clean slate and a clean break from both parties.
I posit they would. Yes. I believe both are transformational leaders. If they as a ticket suddenly took the stage, I believe a weary nation would ditch the alternatives. I don't have polling data to back that up. I don't have anything other than my instincts. I won't fault you for disagreeing with me. But I believe they or someone else should do it.
I'm fine with someone else. But I don't think there is any way that ticket could win. I think the theory that the nation is weary is incorrect. Many voters are very enthusiastic about returning to Trump. The weary voters are in the minority.
I'd be up for any center-left to center-right nationally known figures on the ticket. I don't believe most rank-and-file Republican voters are enthusiastic for Trump. My instincts fail me for understanding his appeal. I can understand their disdain for Democrats, though. Bigtime. And for some of the same reasons.
