The only Christian position on the Samuel Sey issue is:
If he is guilty of immigration violations, he should suffer the consequences, but if he is innocent, he should be released.
Your personal opinion on how nice he is, is irrelevant.
Furthermore, the fact that he is a Christian doubles his guilt (if he is guilty). It doesn’t mitigate it.

Okay @CTmagazine, how about a good deep dive article about some of the 'potential' secrets in MLK's closet?

Elon Musk has paid the most amount of individual income taxes out of ANYONE in ALL of American history, projected to write tax checks for at LEAST $500 BILLION in his lifetime
Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders has pocketed $6+ MILLION from taxpayers, and contributes NOTHING

This is where NIL has destroyed college football.
The only reason Bryce Underwood is not on the bench right now is because of how much money he’s making.

NOBODY tells Americans this part of the story.
March 11, 2011.
A black, 30-foot wall of ocean swallowed Northeast Japan.
Our government froze. The Pentagon had no orders.
Communications were dead.
You know what Captain Thom Burke and Rear Admiral Robert Girrier did on the USS Ronald Reagan?
They didn't wait for the White House.
They didn't wait for paperwork.
They looked at the TV screen, saw their friend drowning, and committed the ultimate military sin:
UNAUTHORIZED ADVANCE.
“We’re going. NOW.”
They turned the massive nuclear carrier full throttle straight into the disaster zone.
Then came the hydrogen explosions at Fukushima.
Radiation plumes drifted across the Pacific.
Every foreign embassy told their citizens: RUN.
The US Embassy ordered an evacuation zone: STAY 50 MILES AWAY.
Did the Ronald Reagan turn around?
DID YOUR SAILORS RUN?
NOT. ONE. INCH.
Nineteen-year-old kids from Texas and Ohio stood on a freezing flight deck, radiation detectors in hand, launching helicopters into blizzards.
They hovered over submerged rooftops, pulling shivering mothers and babies out of the black water.
When Japanese refugees were brought aboard shivering in shock, your sailors gave up their own warm bunks and slept on the cold steel floor.
While the rest of the world ran away from Japan,
AMERICA CHARGED STRAIGHT INTO THE FIRE.
You didn't do it for a treaty.
You didn't do it for politicians.
You saw your friend bleeding, and you kicked the doors down to save us.
Happy 250th, America.
Japan will remember your boys forever. 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

College football lightning delays are getting absurd.
So I went down the rabbit hole: how many people have actually been killed by lightning during a Division I football game in the last 50 years?

AI doomerism has a constituency, and they have far more to gain from regulating it than you do.
China — its state media sells Americans AI fear while Beijing subsidizes its own data centers.
The biggest AI companies — rules they already meet become walls the next company has to climb.
Europe — a U.S. slowdown is the only way it catches up.
Washington — every safety regime means new agencies, budgets, and gatekeepers.
Trial lawyers — every liability rule is a new lawsuit.
Unions — deployment limits protect the jobs automation would take.
Safety nonprofits — the scarier the forecast, the bigger the grant.
Ask who gets paid if Washington believes the doomers. Then ask who told you to be afraid.

I've supported him through everything, but this is the last straw for me. So long, Deshaun.
Browns QB Deshaun Watson was cited going 86mph in a 60mph zone on I-480 outside of Cleveland on 8/26 per @fox8news
Watson pled not-guilty to the citation

We have been opposing all entitlement spending since forever. Do we have to list each one individually for that opposition to be real? What do you think “end entitlements and entitlement spending” “stop socialism” “taxation is theft” etc… we’re referring to? Maybe the people who have always been opposed to establishment GOP spending are voicing their opposition to a new plan that was just announced because it was just announced…?

Every dad, every man should read Patrick Clancy’s 911 call transcript.
Dawson was his first son. The first son to a father is an incredible bond that only God can accurately explain.
My gut is wrenching and I cannot stop thinking about it.
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: My wife tried to commit suicide.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Stay awake. How old is she?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: 31–33.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Is she awake?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Yes.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Is she breathing?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Yeah. Lindsay, what did you do to your neck? She’s talking.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: When did this happen?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Last half hour.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: How far did she fall?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: 20 feet.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Is she responding normally?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: A little bit. Wake up!
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: What part of the body was injured?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Her neck. She’s breathing. Lindsay, look at me. Look at me.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Are there weapons?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: I don’t see any. Where are the kids?
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Do not move her.
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Open your eyes. Lindsay, look at me. Open your eyes. Say my name.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: I’m going to tell you how to stop the bleeding.
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: It’s not really bleeding… open wounds. She’s in the backyard.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Is there something on her neck? Can you put pressure on it?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: No. Lindsay, wake up. They’re coming. Look at me.
𝗦𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘀. First responders arrive.
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: I need you to stay with her. I have to go check on my kids.
𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 / 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁
𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀.
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Guys? Guys?
Cora? Cora?
Dawson?
Oh no. Oh no!
Wake up!
Then screaming and gasping for an extended stretch.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: What’s going on? Hello?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Basement! Basement! Oh my God! I need help in the basement right now.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Hello? Hello?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Dawson! My buddy! My little boy! My buddy!
AHHHHH, SHE KILLED THE KIDS!!! Oh my God!

The idea that modern society doesn't talk about 'mental health' enough is hilarious.
People are obsessed with themselves and their own feelings to the point of familial disintegration and cultural decline.
Millions drug themselves to numb and alter normal emotions.

You do realize that the pastor at the heart of The Great Awakening, Jonathan Edwards....was...a Calvinist?

If Lindsay Clancy had taken three cute puppies into her basement and then systematically proceeded to strangle to death each in turn, the same women crying for compassion and sympathy on her would right this minute be championing her hanging.
Because it’s the value of the object of destruction that moves the needle to legions of women today.
They’ve been taught via feminist mantra that puppies have higher value than whining, exhausting, needy human babies.

How unbelievably cool is this?
Justin Morneau is officially a top-tier good guy in my book, this was really thoughtful of him
I don't know how many home run high fives I gave Justin Morneau over his career with the Twins. Or how many bats of his I weighed to the tenth of an ounce for him.
But I do know one thing: he is just as much a Hall of Fame guy off the field as he is on. A #JM33 story...

1) It is possible that I don’t know enough and that’s a perfectly reasonable red card in World Cup play.
2) That call is why soccer will never catch all the way on in the US. To have a guy booted AND then miss a game for that is an outrage.
My son asked me “why is he getting kicked out.” And I said “because he stepped on that guy’s foot.” And then I realized how insane that is.
