Zelensky is an idiot. He claimed that Ukraine is the heir of Kyivan Rus. But such a state never existed!!! Kyiv was always a part of state RUS. People of Kyiv in the 10th centuries called themselves Rus, Rusins (pron. Russians). “Kyivan Rus” is simply a term invented BY RUSSIANS in the 19th century. Zelensky doesn’t know history or just lying?

Why don’t we discuss cutting defense spending in the US? It’s inefficient and crippling.

If Zelenskyy holds office another 15 years and eliminates political rivals, then he’’ll be the “strong leader” Trump is looking for.

Today I learned that Judith can visit my campus. And that Judith is a Triceratops skull measuring 5 feet in diameter.

Today I learned that staff from LIGO (Hanford) would visit my campus free of charge to teach classes about detecting gravitational waves.

This isn't the first person to insult me in the poll. I asked a question to see how many people (a lot, apparently) believe something that is incorrect. Go touch grass, Elijah. Everything will be okay.

Imagine thinking voting for the present GOP is conservative or morally straight.
How to vote as a Christian in America in 2026 is not complex. A common ploy among evangelicals with left-leaning sensibilities is to nuance voting to death. They know it’s morally indefensible to support the Democratic Party of Death, but they so loathe conservatism that they need a way to persuade Christians not to vote Republican. Enter the Character Argument: “How can Christians support Ken Paxton, a noted adulterer? Aren’t we the people who should demand better? Doesn’t character matter?” Character does matter. It’s lamentable that vanishing few politicians have good character. But this line of argumentation abandons reason on a number of fronts. Here are a couple. 1. The active support of evil is itself emblematic of low character. Joe Biden and James Talarico are outwardly calm and genteel men. Yet both actively support the mass murder of unborn children, the desecration of marriage, and the erasure of creation-order gender distinctions. They are pursuing the success of evil. That makes them evil. Supporting straight-line violations of God’s Law is to be an evil person—the embodiment of low character. 2. Voting is first and foremost about supporting a candidate who most upholds justice and laws consistent with the will of God. Voting has always been about this. Character is not irrelevant, but a vote supports a public agenda. Supporting a Democratic candidate is therefore obviously sinful and wrong. One of the Enemy’s most subtle tactics is to nuance morally simple issues. Resist this.

1,000+ people missed a slam dunk. Poll is closed. 🤦 Humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor.

I know that everyone is focused on Trump's attacks in California and Alaska. My team is fighting in court in both places. But the fight for free and fair elections is much broader. Elias Law Group is currently litigating 92 voting and election cases in 42 states plus DC.

Two Vances full of hot air and empty at the center? Too much.
BREAKING: Vance has become a hurricane as it churns off the coast of Mexico, the National Hurricane Center said early Friday. The center said the storm is expected to strengthen rapidly and could be a major Category 4 hurricane before the end of the day. apnews.com/article/hurricane…
