I understand why the genre might not be someone’s cup of tea. I don’t particularly gravitate to it myself, usually. But it’s okay for Christians to tell and enjoy stories that are tense, suspenseful, even scary. There’s nothing inherently sinful about any of those feelings. And the categorical insistence on avoiding those feelings is precisely why almost all “faith based” entertainment is terrible. I would argue that bland, bad, boring “Christian entertainment” — which is almost all of it, truly — is a far greater cultural problem for Christians than any horror movie ever could be. Christians used to be the great storytellers of western civilization. That was back when they told difficult, complicated, sometimes bleak and violent stories. Not anymore. Now the stories are all very nice and pleasant, but they also suck and nobody with any taste can stand to watch them.

This is delusional denial. If you're parents are penguins, you will never fly so get good at swimming. A penguin can tell himself he's an eagle and jump off a cliff, but the rocks below are the reality.

Had a majority in both houses for two years. Trump in the White House. They could’ve done anything they wanted to do. They could’ve absolutely codified an America First agenda. Instead they took vacations, traded stocks, fought each other, fought Trump, and stepped over their own mothers for 90 seconds of airtime on Fox News. Now they’d surrender.

🚨 President Trump on whether he's worried about impeachment despite huge Democrat House gains: "Not even a little bit." "I think it would DESTROY the Democrat Party if they did that. Because impeachment for no reason? For what? For having a successful country? Our country is more successful now than at any time in its history."

I warned y’all about Rick Jackson. But let’s make one thing perfectly clear… Rick Jackson didn’t create the disaster that is Georgia politics. He is a product of it. He was the establishment’s handpicked candidate, backed by the same political machine that has spent decades running the Peach State into the ground. He had the money to buy his way into the race, but no amount of money could buy the trust of voters who have had enough. This is much bigger than Rick Jackson. This is an indictment of an incompetent, self-serving political class that has controlled Georgia for far too long. The line between Republicans and Democrats in Georgia has become so blurred that, when it comes to protecting their own power, you can’t tell them apart…. They are actually one and the same. And at the heart of this disaster is election integrity. For years, Georgia Republicans have failed to restore public confidence in our elections. They have dismissed legitimate concerns, ignored their own voters, and then acted shocked when those same voters became apathetic and stopped showing up. Meanwhile, under Brian Kemp’s leadership, Fani Willis was allowed to pursue her prosecution of President Trump and the 2020 electors. And for anyone I might lose saying at this point, this isn’t just about Trump. It’s about the weaponization of government, the abuse of prosecutorial power, and a political establishment that appears perfectly comfortable looking the other way when its opponents are targeted. Republican or Democrat, the message in Georgia has been the same: Challenge the establishment and you become the enemy. Protect the establishment and you’re part of the club. Rick Jackson was a symptom of that rot, not the disease itself. I warned that he was a deeply flawed candidate with deeply troubling questionable political loyalties and motives. Instead of listening, the establishment doubled down and many got on his payroll or gleefully campaigned with him during the primary. Jackson poured an extraordinary amount of his own money (~$200 million) into his political ambitions, resources that could have made a meaningful difference in competitive races across Georgia to stop the legislature from flipping blue. But apparently, building another political empire in Brian Kemp’s image was more important than building a Republican Party capable of winning. And now here we are. The GAGOP has spent years alienating its own base, protecting its insiders, refusing accountability, and treating voters like they have nowhere else to go. Well, congratulations. You finally found out what happens when those voters decide they’d rather stay home. There is so much more I could say about what has happened to Georgia, the people responsible and the damage they’ve done. But at this point, I’m genuinely too disgusted to even begin. This wasn’t just an electoral defeat or losing a few races. It was the bill coming due for years of arrogance, incompetence, and betrayal. And the people who created this mess have absolutely no business being the ones entrusted to fix it. They deserve it and should be shamed and shunned from politics in Georgia.

The one thing we know with certainty, is that we are always in God's hands and He can use all things to His good. While we speculate and wring our hands and fret over minutia, God will not abandon us, so we must not abandon Him. We must fight for the things we love.

BREAKING: Democrats odds to control the Senate decrease on Election Day as Texas, Iowa, Michigan, and Maine shift Republican

The bogus polls support the bogus election returns. If anyone claims election fraud, the media can point to the polls and say "See? We told you Democrats were winning!"

I had a friend who is what I'll call a zero hedge conservative so I wasn't exactly sure where he landed on things say, "Sure gas is a little more expensive but at least I don't have to explain to my kids why men can't get pregnant." 😂

🚨BREAKING: Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin was caught on undercover video admitting that Democrats already have “signature cases” lined up for every committee so they can prosecute President Trump and members of his cabinet the moment they take the majority. In the recording, Slotkin said her party is prepared to go after the most “egregious” actions as soon as they regain power. She revealed that she traveled to Hungary specifically to study how officials there handled the removal of what she called an “authoritarian leader,” and she named targets that include the White House ballroom, the reflecting pool, and $200 million in Defense Department spending. “That’s what you’ll see basically in January,” she said on the video. The comments show Democrats openly planning to use congressional committees as tools for criminal prosecution rather than oversight the second they control the House.
