Rumor is Mullin and Lewandowski are going on a first date this evening at the Capital Grille. First step to a great working relationship at DHS.

My guess is the license to oversee indiscriminate violence

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

Love, despite everything.

MAGA Christians Are Pissed About Iran YouTube video by Straight White American Jesus Podcast

New video and podcast about the rift in the MAGA Christian coalition over Iran. On one side, Wallnau, Feucht etc who see it as part of the end times. On the other, America 1st nationalists and trad Catholics who see it as a betrayal of nationalist principles and a fool's errand

CREC-aligned theo bros and trad Catholics aren’t happy. NAR people like Wallnau and Feucht are ecstatic. Old-school dispensationalists are also pleased.

If you're trying to understand the ways that Christianity in the US is connected to all that's happening now at home + abroad, check out the Straight White American Jesus podcast hosted by @bradleyonishi.bsky.social + @swajdan.bsky.social. They are both professors + former Evangelicals ministers.

Jimmy Carter 2.0

JD Vance is in a similar position.

Yes. And he is in a bind. He is all about lethality and aggression but theologically his church is not necessarily for American entanglement in wars that don’t involve direct attacks on our soil or people. Pete’s theology and ideology are misaligned at this juncture.

As I 5’8 point guard in high school I was also *nearly* in the NBA.

We didn’t start the fire. It was always burning, Hegseth said, wiping sweat from his brow, since the world’s been turning. In other words we didn’t light it but we tried to fight it.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.
