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
You made it, you own it

People.
They’ll lose their minds over a delayed train, snap over a slow barista. Let a spilled coffee ruin their day.
But when it comes to the big stuff, staying in the wrong job, letting their dreams die quietly. Wasting years on auto pilot.
Nothing. No urgency. No reaction.
We treat small problems like emergencies and the real emergencies as background noise.
Why do we do that?

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.
As always, so many in America are using the situation to their political benefit. On the radio this morning I heard that the US military has secured the airport. So there's still hope that we can get out a lot more people. It seems to me that this day was inevitable. After 20 years it's obvious that we built nothing. It was a waste of our efforts. We should've gone in, got Bin Laden, and got out. And of course, we never should've gone into Iraq. We need to learn that you simply can't impose values on people who don't want your values. They are paternalistic religious conservatives who want a primitive monoculture based on the Quran. They were never going to accept a progressive, multi-cultural democracy. Hopefully, we've finally learned our lesson.
And everyone should be proud of all of the brave journalists who are bringing us these stories. Without them, we wouldn't know anything about what's happening there.
