Dee Parsons and Amy Smith are two Christian moms who have become unlikely whistleblowers, exposing sexual abuse within America's largest churches. In 2024, they joined forces in a case involving Texas pastor Robert Morris, head of Gateway Church. youtu.be/rNqk39tlYVQ

Trump full-on accusing Zelensky of starting the war Russia launched against Ukraine in 2014, before Zelensky was even president, and escalated in 2022 with it unprovoked, full-blown invasion. Not a single criticism toward Putin, a day after the deadliest single attack of the war by Russia this year.

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if he is genuinely unaware of the fact that Russia doesn't fully control the "annexed regions". It's not Witkoff's fault, though, all his briefs are in Russian, and that is a hard language to master

Three years ago, Russia bombed the Kramatorsk train station a lifeline for civilians fleeing war. The missile was marked: “For the children.” 61 people were killed, including 9 children. 121 were injured. Three days ago, Russia killed 9 more children in another strike.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Trump won't call on Putin to stop his brutal and illegal war on Ukraine. When Putin is "bombing the hell out of Ukraine," a US ally, Trump identifies Zelenskyy as the problem. This is despicable. Will any Republican speak out against it? (That's a rhetorical question.)

Trump is trying to degrade Ukraine’s ability to defend itself, and he expect that won’t result in Russia trying to take advantage of that to attack military and civilian targets? From the brilliant mind that said he’d end the war in 24 hours. We have a toddler playing with power tools.

One thing that I’ve tried to remind myself recently is that there is still goodness, beauty, & truth in the world. None of that has changed. We can still strive for virtue. One way I’ve seen that has been a couple meetings we’ve hosted w/local pastors about supporting immigrant churches right now.

Here’s the heartbreaking reality of this. The SBC will likely vote for this 3 million to be spent. And it will not go to care for abuse survivors and the people who have been hurt along the way. (Still waiting for THAT recommendation, right??) It’ll be spent to accommodate a disgraced pastor’s ego.
