Getting big!
“Government should be run like a business” is mostly misguided, but one lesson from business that government should take is that volatile, unreliable behavior makes others less likely to do business with you.
Tariffs hurt the economy, yes, but a cycle of threaten, tariff, fold and rescind does too.
Happy Birthday, Max!
It’s tough to take seriously any Senator who votes to confirm Hegseth, Gabbard, Patel, or RFK Jr—and it has nothing to do with politics.
Every serious person knows that none of those four are even close to fit for the roles they were tapped to fill.
Life flows from the throne of heaven not the steps of the Capitol. Thankful to be a citizen of an unshakable kingdom of grace & peace. Let us pray.

"Trump has a poor record of peacemaking. His Doha Agreement with the Taliban (behind the back of the Afghan government) was as feckless a piece of diplomacy as any in history, and his negotiations with North Korea came nowhere near a denuclearising deal."

"It seems there are practically no political consequences for Republicans who accept the lies underpinning the riot or deny Trump’s complicity, and Cheney’s supposed betrayal of Trump is worse than Trump’s betrayal to the constitutional order."

January 6th 2021 is a date that will live in infamy.
Jan 6th is a reminder to me: cowardice spreads like wildfire… this country needs leaders who are willing to tell the people the truth, not pander to lies
"there’s little evidence that Trump has any desire to drain the swamp so much as to reward those swamp creatures he likes. Industrial policy and protectionism, two of his top priorities, are among the oldest forms of swampiness". thedispatch.com/article/ther....

"For all of the Biden administration’s flaws (and there are many), they’ve granted to the incoming Trump administration what the president-elect shamefully and unapologetically denied our country of four years ago."

"If there's a theme about my arguments about Trump for the last 10 years, is that anybody who invests too much in the guy and too much on the expectation that he'll be consistent and coherent is going to get made a fool of." (31:35):

“The disreputable lineage of Jesus reminds us of something else as well: Past is not prologue. If Jesus himself came from a line of murderers, adulterers, cheats and frauds, “then there is hope for all of us.””
