  1. Oh, for the time when there is no more war! Yet, we all want our loved ones to have the time to come and see that the Lord is good and that they need the forgiveness and righteousness through Jesus. Even Paul had that conflict.

  2. “Housing prices are starting to cool off at the same time that we learn nearly 1 million illegals have self-deported

    Coincidence?

    Nah, common sense

    With fewer illegals:

    Housing will be cheaper

    Jobs will raise wages

    Crime will be lower

    And quality of life will rise”

    “We could finally be seeing housing market deflation.

    With America’s 2nd largest home builder, Lennar, just reporting an 8.7% YoY drop in selling price.

    This brings the total correction from the pandemic peak to 24.4%.

    This indicates that new homes are getting a lot cheaper for buyers.”

  3. Nothing to see here, just Chris Wray lying under oath, again.

    “FBI Director Christopher Wray lied to Congress about a Chinese plot to rig the 2020 election. Despite human sources confirming the CCP was sending fake IDs to Chinese nationals in the US to obtain mail-in ballots AND seizures of tens of thousands of fake IDs by CPB Wray refused to let his agency investigate further and when questioned by Congress about the plot he denied its existence. FBI Director Kash Patel has turned over the evidence of the coverup to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley. Will there ever be accountability?”

  4. For HRW, and the others who just want to believe every thinly sourced piece of trash the NYT can come up with.

    “NYTimes put out a HIT PIECE on @ElonMusk accusing him of excessive drug use while he was in the Trump White House

    Elon has now COMPLETELY debunked that smear piece, releasing a full, comprehensive urine test.

    Which was negative ACROSS THE BOARD, of course

    This was yet another attempt to destroy a powerful Trump ally, and scare other powerful patriots from working closely with the administration.

    They also want the American public to believe the Trump administration is run by a bunch of incoherent drunks and drug users, degrading trust in the admin.

    They pulled a similar stunt with Pete Hegseth, making baseless claims of frequent alcohol use.

    Stay frosty. Ops are everywhere”

  5. Musk is bad news regardless of what his urine says. He’s into the Dark Enlightenment philosophy. I don’t know a whole lot about it, but what I have read is full of the spirit of anti-Christ.

    “Israeli Channel 14 reports that Trump is expected to sign an order within hours to formally enter the Israel–Iran war.

    Reports also suggest the U.S. may have already begun strikes on Tehran.

    Aircraft carriers. Jets. Troop movement.

    This isn’t posturing anymore, it’s positioning.

    “Very, very official,” they’re saying.

    And when they say that on live TV, it usually means it’s already underway.

    This may be the moment the U.S. crosses the point of no return.”

    “Many of President Trump’s Pro-Israel friends and advisers are trying to pressure him into sending airstrikes against Iran…

    President Trump knows the Bush-era doctrine of regime change in the Middle East is foolish…>

    The last time america listened to netanyahu based on false claims of wmds, we ended up pouring cash and blood all over the sands of mesopotamia, and in the end, we only made iran stronger!”

  8. “Friendly reminder that we wouldn’t be in this mess if Obama didn’t send $1.7 billion on pallets of cash to Iran and if Biden didn’t unfreeze oil trade deals with Iran that funneled them $50+ billion

    Once again, Trump is forced to clean up the mess of the DC warmonger machine”

    “Obama’s $1.7 billion cash airlift to Iran and Biden’s sanctions rollbacks flooded Tehran with over $100 billion in oil revenue—directly funding terror proxies and accelerating their nuclear program. Now Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile is at weapons-grade levels, and their drone armies threaten global stability.

    Trump’s maximum pressure strategy previously crippled Iran’s economy, slashing oil exports to 300k barrels/day. Biden’s weakness reversed those gains, emboldening the regime to launch Operation Rising Lion against Israel.

    Deterrence only works when adversaries fear consequences—not pallets of cash.”

  9. Trump is completely responsible for Trump’s War. He can’t blame past presidents or future ones. The buck stops with him and if he continues he will be violating a fundamental promise. One of the 3 primary reasons people voted for him.

  10. Am I misunderstanding something here? The posts at 12:43 and 1:18 seem to contradict each other, but both seem to have been posted by AJ (who tends to be anonymous these days).

  11. Since posting that, I have read that the moves that the U.S. has made have been to protect the troops that are already stationed in the Middle East. It looks like the post at 12:43 may be wishful thinking on the part of Israel perhaps?

    Like

  12. They’re probably moving ships and aircraft to protect the troops we have in Israel. And to protect Israel. If I knew he was going to be an Israel First president I would not have supported him. He would be no better than any other neocon candidate.

    The President says one thing one day and contradicts it the next. Who knows what he’s doing—other than demolishing his “legacy of peace”.

  13. Although … Trump has never been very politically consistent, including on issues of war, as Douthat points out today:

    ~ There is nothing inherently surprising about Trump’s permitting and indirectly supporting Israel’s war against Iran. Trump generally took a hawkish line on Iran throughout his first term; he has never been a principled noninterventionist; his deal-making style has always involved the threat of force as a crucial bargaining chip; and the idea that you can accomplish a lot with a few sharp blows while avoiding regime change and nation building fits comfortably into his worldview. … ~

  14. Since the horrors of the concentration camps, the U.S. has long supported the nation of Israel — and now with a nuclear threat in the hands of Iran there is an added fear in that region potentially.

    Our broken world and answers to any of it, not easy.

  15. It absolutely is the answer.

    It’s navigating the process on our human level that is always the precarious part. We pray, we weigh the options; and we do our best. The rest? In His Providence as it always was.
