Read "Christianity, Islam, and Liberal Democracy: Lessons from Sub-Saharan Africa." By Robert Dowd CSC. There are lessons to be learned that are relevant to movements in the US centered on Christian nationalism and the Seven Mountain Mandate. Think Democracy. Think integration.

The Case for Christian Nationalism - First Things Recent polling paints a disturbing picture: Fewer than half of Gen-Z Americans are extremely or very proud of their country. There’s little doubt that relentless indoctrination in anti-American ideolo...

A church that trades its prophetic voice for political loyalty can be found under the bushel basket. The church is no longer the light of the world or the salt of the earth.

When the Bombs Become a Baptism: The Seven Mountain Mandate and the War on Iran A reflection through the lens of See–Judge–Act SEE — What Is Actually Happening On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iran aimed at regime change. Key Iranian officials and facilities were targeted. Iranian state media confirmed the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in an air strike on his office in Tehran. This did not come out of nowhere.

The SCOTUS decision follows a similar loss for Thaler in the patent field, reinforcing a consistent stance throughout U.S. intellectual property law: fully autonomous AI systems cannot be recognized as authors or inventors.

1/3 🧵 Isn’t it interesting that Open AI is in bed with Microsoft, & Amazon & Grok have rooms next door?

🤔Open AI got concessions denied to Anthropic, what’s under the hood of the Pentagon deal?

Is it connected to the necessity of the Tech Bros dinner masks, was that the room where it happened?

Your Faith Is Being Hacked: How AI and Social Media Are Rewriting Christianity — and What We Can Do About It Something strange is happening in churches across America. People who sit together on Sunday mornings are living in completely different realities by Monday — shaped not by Scripture or sermon, but by an unseen, algorithmic force that knows exactly which fears to exploit, which images to flash, and which ‘prophetic’ voices to amplify. This isn’t an accident. It’s a design.

“The ultimately responsible question is not how I extricate myself heroically from a situation but how a coming generation is to go on living.” ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer, December 1942

Think about the relevance of that statement for the world we live in today.

Trump signed a death warrant for the people of Iran. Just like he’s using this war (it’s a war) to cancel elections & put himself in power for life.

Earth, Our Home Looking more like a pile of filth. By Julie Peller Ph.D. An unfortunate sign of the approaching spring season in regions with cold winters is roadside trash. The fall foliage and winter snow no longer hide the trash along the roads and in the fields. The accumulating garbage visible in early spring reminds me of the phrase in Pope Francis’s Laudato Si, “The Earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth.” He made this statement in context with society’s materialism and throwaway mentality.

We have a government conducted by self-interested opportunists and zealots beholden to the interests, the ego, and the whims of a single man—an individual who can only accurately be described as a sociopath utterly incapable of truthfulness, honor, decency, integrity, conscience and remorse.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

You have heard about the line in the sand between the Hegseth and Anthropic AI. The decision by Anthropic and the threats by both the President and Hegseth.
Now watch this video clip, especially the end where Professor Russel speaks. And think about the future.

New BOMBSHELL Reporting REVEALS Epstein’s DEEP DOJ TIES YouTube video by Katie Phang

New reporting from the Miami Herald on how Epstein used his power, money, & influence to “infiltrate the justice system.”

I do a deep dive into this incredible article, including eyebrow-raising relationships between the prosecutors and Epstein’s criminal defense team.

One big problem with Trumps “retirement plan.” They will match up to 1000 per year… but now companies can dump their employees off the company plan which matches way more…. Onto the govt plan.

It’s a corporate handout… again

Trump promised: "I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one.”

Day one came and went. So did year one. Costs keep going up.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.
