Just heard a CN refer to Texas as a "post-Texan state." 🤔

"Trying the legal immigration system as an alternative to immigrating illegally is like playing Powerball as an alternative to saving for retirement. People do win the lottery, but that does not make it a viable alternative to a 401(k) investment plan." - David J. Bier 😳

The CNers are losing their minds about an ad pitching a welfare work-requirement (x.com/SarahHuckabe...). Weird, right? Because they're all for eliminating entitlements. Then I discovered the reason. The ad features a white dude playing video games. They're mad because he's not a person of color.

You pay taxes to cover welfare for people who just choose not to work. That’s why I launched a welfare-to-work requirement. If you’re young, healthy, and get government assistance, you should work, go to school, or volunteer.

When everyone is a priority, no one is a priority. That means that Mullin and ICE are going to treat a murderer who just got here with the same level of priority as a guy who’s been here for 25 years raising a family and living like a saint. That’s bad for so many reasons.

Absolutely maddening to see someone post something so obviously wrong, be tempted to write up a delightful takedown using real data, and lovely charts, only to know that the propagandists won't actually care, or change, and that most who nod along won't read it. Heck, maybe I'll write it anyway.

We are inundated with so much scandal, noise, and just stupidity from this administration, that many of its injustices get lost in the chaos. Don't miss this one. The administration appears to be deliberately deporting people to countries they have no connection to.

The way of Christ—following Jesus in radical love, truth, generosity, compassion, and peacemaking—remains a narrow road. But it’s worth it. The way he leads is lovely and good.

I find it fascinating to watch Joel Berry's quixotic efforts to reign in the racism on the far right, while trying to strike a slightly more moderate far right position. Very few of us inhabit the extremes—we all try to moderate / police our idealogical zones. But watching the whack-a-mole efforts>

While I desperately wish people would stop using "woke" for meaningful description (it has meant everything, and therefore nothing), Chait does some helpful work here. I particularly like this line: "Unlike Marxism’s postrevolutionary paradise, woke politics has no end point beyond despair."

Realizing how easy, in the grind of injustice, normalization of (or numbness to) that injustice is. We must not allow its normalization.

“105M that don’t share your values” is extraordinarily broad and that’s the point. I suspect the culture and values and America Bovino has in mind is whiteness. There aren’t 105M foreign-born people here. But 2021 census data shows there were ~105M non-white ppl in the US that year.

I’ve made a deliberate attempt to stop responding to these pieces of deportation propaganda, in part because their entire point is trolling and they WANT the angry responses. But the same time, we cannot make this stuff normal. It’s deeply wrong; a perversion of good things for fascist purposes.

I've always wanted to do this one: my piece on the "terrorist charity" of late antiquity. The parabalani or "reckless ones" did some great stuff for the Church. They also killed people and started riots. Here's what we can learn from history: www.christianitytoday.com/2026/08/the-...

The ‘Terrorist Charity’ of Late Antiquity - Christianity Today
Bands of young men in the early church helped the sick and poor. They also started riots, and their history has lessons for us now.

It’s maddening that the discourse around the wealthy and taxation is pulled taut between the poles of unfettered capitalism and Soviet-style socialism, as if those were the only true options.

Dever is no Wolfe. But I am disappointed in Dever to speak at this service without any (apparent) calls to repentance, or clarification between Christians in the US military and the US military itself. "Come out and be ye separate" - except when we don't.
