Just reupping this image from my newsletter last week, that I hope people will feel free to save and liberally spred around the interwebs. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Photograph of an outdoor church marquee sign for Beryl Baptist Church. The sign has a dark frame with a blue header panel reading 'Beryl Baptist Church' in large white serif lettering, accompanied by a compass-style logo with an open Bible and cross. Below the header, a white changeable letter board displays the message: 'FAITH SEES GOD. INTELLECT DOES NOT.' in black capital letters. Beneath the letter board, a dark panel lists service times: Sunday School 9:45 AM, Worship 11:00 AM, Training Classes 5:00 PM, Evening Worship 6:00 PM, Wednesday Worship 7:00 PM, followed by 'Pastor Wade Lentz' in white text. The sign stands in front of a green lawn with a parking lot and overcast sky visible in the background.

"Faith sees God. Intellect does not."

They put this on the sign. On purpose. In public.

If your god can only be found by turning off your brain, that's not a feature. That's a warning label.

CFPB Staffer Alexis Goldstein Fired for Confronting DOGE Members, Announces Run for Congress The Trump administration has fired Consumer Financial Protection Bureau program manager Alexis Goldstein for documenting a meeting a year ago between the agency and Elon Musk’s Department of Governmen...

The Trump administration fired Alexis Goldstein for confronting members of DOGE last year over access to sensitive personal information of U.S. residents at a key watchdog agency. Now she's running for Congress.

Nite. Score one for WE the People FINALLY—SCOTUS slapped 47’s hand by ruling his tariffs are ILLEGAL. Good news for American consumers who have been paying them! Such an idiotic President!

Top half: Dark photo of a man in a suit (torso and hands visible, face partially cropped) with white serif text overlaid reading: '"Protecting the God-given life of an unborn baby is not political -- it's biblical."' Below that, a horizontal divider line, then 'Secretary of War' in gray and 'Pete Hegseth' in bold white. Bottom half: White background with bold black sans-serif text listing five Bible-based counterpoints. 1) '"THEIR WOMEN WITH CHILD SHALL BE RIPPED UP." HOSEA 13:16' 2) 'GOD LITERALLY SAID "HERE\'S THE RECIPE, HAVE YOUR PRIEST WHIP UP AN ABORTION SMOOTHIE AT THE TEMPLE." NUMBERS 5:11-31' 3) 'GOD BASICALLY SAID THE FETUS IS WORTH A VENMO PAYMENT BUT MOM\'S GOT FULL HUMAN PRICING. EXODUS 21:22-25' 4) 'MENAHEM WENT FULL WAR-CRIME ON PREGNANT WOMEN AND GOD JUST... DIDN\'T SAY ANYTHING. NO LIGHTNING BOLT, NO PLAGUE, NO ANGRY PROPHET. 2 KINGS 15:16' 5) 'FIRST BREATH = LIVING SOUL. NOT FIRST HEARTBEAT, NOT FIRST TRIMESTER. BREATH. THE BIBLE LITERALLY SPEEDRAN THE "LIFE BEGINS AT BIRTH" ARGUMENT BEFORE EVANGELICALS WERE EVEN A THING. GENESIS 2:7' A cutout image of Will Smith in a black suit doing a theatrical presenting gesture appears on the left side. The Godless Engineer 'GE' logo is visible in the upper left and a 'DC' logo in the upper right of the bottom section.

Hegseth says protecting the unborn is "biblical."

Hosea 13:16: pregnant women ripped open.
Numbers 5: priest-made miscarriage recipe.
Exodus 21: fetus = property damage.
Genesis 2:7: life starts at BREATH.

He didn't read the book. He likes the cover.

Three-panel meme using screenshots from a U.S. Senate Finance Committee hearing (September 4, 2025). Panel 1: Close-up of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at a microphone, with a bewildered expression, eyebrows raised, looking upward. Yellow bold text reads: "How am I a threat?" Several people are visible seated behind him. Panel 2: Senator Raphael Warnock, wearing glasses and a dark suit, speaking with a serious, stern expression. An older male senator with glasses is partially visible to his left. White bold text reads: "Sec. Kennedy, for the first time, we're seeing deaths from children from measles. We haven't seen that in two decades." Panel 3: Same framing as Panel 2, with Warnock now leaning slightly forward, expression intensified. Yellow bold text reads: "You are a hazard to the health of the American people."

"How am I a threat?" asks the guy whose first year at HHS brought back measles deaths for kids after 20 years. Warnock said it best: you are a hazard.

This is good!

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

😬

I don’t recall the biblical authors knowing about North America. 🤔

Been to church. A lot. It sucks.

Is that a fully preserved dromeasaurid tail 👀

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Love him so much

Happy thanksgiving 🦃

What a topsy-turvy time we live in.

That’s right cows travel naked. 😜

⚡️ SCOTUS will NOT overturn marriage equality 🎉

I like my taxes to be used to feed hungry children, not murder innocent fishermen.

Cruelty is the Republican Party's oxygen.

WOW. Another poll shows a majority of Americans including 22% of Republicans oppose Trump’s $300 million White House ballroom project.

Don’t let them know about Jesus 🤪
