It should be fairly obvious to see who the genuine Christians are and who the partisan hacks are. Don't get caught up in the quarrels of this world

Trying to buy a house right now and it makes me realize how fucked the housing market is. Bidding wars on a very limited inventory, with rates north of 6.5%, all while wages haven't caught up with the inflation the housing market has seen. My in-laws are seeing many good, single family homes in their neighborhood get bought up by hedge funds to rent. How is this affordable for anyone? How is this sustainable? If there's a catalyst for a revolution, this housing crisis would not surprise me in the least. I don't even live in a traditionally expensive market either.
I never changed the time on my cats automatic feeder from "fall back". She's been living on permanent #DaylightSavings this whole time. Her life was not inconvenienced in anyway on Sunday. If she can do it, so can we.
I hope someday to own 1 Bitcoin, but I'm darn proud of owning more than .5. There isn't enough Bitcoin in the world for everyone to have that much and I have to remind myself constantly about what is "enough" for me and my family. I'm not trying to play the Wall St. games of who has the biggest wallet. Thankfulness in God's provision for my life goes a long way and takes the pressure off of having to have as much as possible.

The US is just an elected Monarchy. Congress is just an oligarch club with little interest of actually using their power.
Is the West currently the Republic or the Empire from Star Wars?

God instituted age limits on the Levitical Priests... 25-50... (Numbers 8:23-26). The US President 81, average age in the House of Representatives is 58, and the average age in the Senate is 64. USA retirement age is 66. Something is out of whack.

”Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.“
2 Timothy 1:13-14
”Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.“
2 Timothy 2:14
”But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,“
2 Timothy 2:16
”Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.“
2 Timothy 2:23 ESV
Guard the truth, remind others of the truth, don’t stoop down to the level of those who don’t hold the truth and don’t engage in things that will only get in the way of the truth.

"The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace."
Num. 6:24-26
What is going to be the breaking point in this country? Not Right/Left, but those who are living paycheck to paycheck with two incomes unable to afford a house, working 40+ hours a week till they're 70, with massive amounts of debt against the elites
I don’t think people realize just how scare Bitcoin is and how important it is to just get a little… Think about it… If you were to own .25 Bitcoin.. only 84 million people can ever own the same amount… That’s not even factoring in the illiquid supply that we currently have.
I think we should just abolish congress, keep the executive and judiciary, and allow the state legislatures to act as the sole legislatures over their respective states while the executive only keeps the power over things like foreign policy. All of congresses current powers just get transferred to the state legislatures. On issues of going to war or to check the executive, all 50 legislatures convene to vote. All legislatures would be set up in proportionality to the states overall population and be similar in structure. Maintain federalism, and checks and balances while also keeping each branches respective roles.
“The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy, and say to them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord God: Ah, shepherds of Israel who have been feeding yourselves! Should not shepherds feed the sheep? You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fat ones, but you do not feed the sheep. The weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed, the injured you have not bound up, the strayed you have not brought back, the lost you have not sought, and with force and harshness you have ruled them. So they were scattered, because there was no shepherd, and they became food for all the wild beasts. My sheep were scattered; they wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. My sheep were scattered over all the face of the earth, with none to search or seek for them. “Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: As I live, declares the Lord God, surely because my sheep have become a prey, and my sheep have become food for all the wild beasts, since there was no shepherd, and because my shepherds have not searched for my sheep, but the shepherds have fed themselves, and have not fed my sheep, therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: Thus says the Lord God, Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require my sheep at their hand and put a stop to their feeding the sheep. No longer shall the shepherds feed themselves. I will rescue my sheep from their mouths, that they may not be food for them. “For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of the country. I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord God. I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them in justice. “As for you, my flock, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and male goats. Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pasture; and to drink of clear water, that you must muddy the rest of the water with your feet? And must my sheep eat what you have trodden with your feet, and drink what you have muddied with your feet? “Therefore, thus says the Lord God to them: Behold, I, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. Because you push with side and shoulder, and thrust at all the weak with your horns, till you have scattered them abroad, I will rescue my flock; they shall no longer be a prey. And I will judge between sheep and sheep. And I will set up over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd. And I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David shall be prince among them. I am the Lord; I have spoken.”
Ezekiel 34:1-24 ESV
Jesus says:
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.””
John 10:11-18
Am I the only one who has to remind myself periodically the my favorite sport teams are just multi-billion dollar corporations?
Is modern capitalism descending into feudalism?
Is it true that having a baby can cost upwards of $30,000 after insurance?
Every politician is a pedophile, unless they publicly support the release of Epstein’s client list. Seems like the exploitation and trafficking of minors should be something everyone can agree is bad and shouldn’t be tolerated. For some reason it isn’t.
The American colonies revolted against the strongest military power of their time over a minor tax on tea on principle of “no taxation without representation.” At what point does the average American feel so choked out by all the taxation/ inflation that they revolt and over throw the current government? At what point does democracy stop working?
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!”
