These are mine too. Also, too much alcohol and violent video games and not enough actual discipleship in their churches. Oh, and Doug Wilson, Pete’s pastor, is a proponent of public executions. They’re all just such wicked men.

This is outrageous. Donald Trump just announced a deal with Vladimir Putin to import Russian diesel, and Treasury immediately lifted sanctions on Russian diesel exports through April. Those sanctions exist for one reason. They limit the money Putin can use to wage his brutal war on Ukraine.

I haven't read too much on the broadcasting of a public execution bc I have been traveling, but could these be some of the reasons besides the barbaric? 1. Normalizing it. 2. A warning to those who would defy the state. 3. For weak men wgi think this sort of thing is manly? Any other thoughts?

Speaking of a Mississippi lynching in 1892, Ida B. Wells could well be describing the way we remain so committed to violence that we will not mourn the destruction of our neighbors.

I live in San Diego & just ran up to my local grocer for a few things. People are usually quiet. Today, they are openly & loudly talking about how Trump is encouraging Iran to wipe us from this earth. We are a large Navy & Marine city. A border city. And we are pissed! VOTE!

I was honored to visit Our Lady Salam, the first Arabic-speaking Lutheran parish on Staten Island. Its congregants hail from as close as Hylan Blvd to as far as Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, & Egypt — yet have planted roots in our city. Many carry the weight of war and genocide daily.

Just to state it in another way: this administration (and the ideologies behind it) is trying to forcefully socially engineer the military and U.S. society into the society it wants. Any means necessary is on the table. It does not seek the flourishing of all, but only the flourishing of some.

Too young to legally consent to sign a contract. But old enough to consent away where they want to live to be shipped someplace random by a government that hates them. In a just world, Hollad would need to annex half of Belgium to find room for the expanded Hague prison thus all calls for.

NEW: It's hard these days for members of Congress to transcend the news cycle with viral moments in committee hearings. Sen. Schmitt today raised the bar with an allegation against Jack Smith that imploded in real time. w/ Chris Marquette www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

politico.com

Republicans wanted Jack Smith to give them a smoking gun. They got a gaffe instead.

The former special counsel’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee was marked by personal insults rather than new revelations.
