In El Paso for work, so of course I stopped by L&J Cafe in honor of LJ Martin and delicious food.

Liberals are saying Trump’s Iranian Peace Deal is a thousand times worse than Obama’s deal. Do the math. The 300 billion Trump is giving them is only 175 times more than the 1.7 billion Obama gave them. Adjusted for inflation, that makes this deal only 100 times worse. Liberals love to exaggerate.

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving. Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free. I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these." "They just come with the table, man." They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner. This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat. I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared. "Did we…?" "Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless." Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined. My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude." Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man. I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy. Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived. I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most. Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

In NY for a quick trip. Thought I’d catch a @Braves @Mets game at Citi field. Growing up a Braves fan conditioned me to this but there is no Andy Griffith show anywhere in sight. But the “Knicks in 5” chant was entertaining

When asked explicitly “who is my neighbor” Jesus tells a parable in which the answer is a persecuted racial minority which he deliberately sets up in contrast to the members of your tradition, blood, culture, etc who bear power and prestige
Replying to @GMRench
When Jesus said love your neighbour, your neighbour was the same race and shared history, blood, tradition, language and culture. God separated the races for a reason

Under new military guidance from Pete Hegseth, the LDS Church is officially classified as a non-Christian religion. My fellow Saints, you can love these Christian nationalists all you want, but they will not love you back. military.com/dod-officially-…

By the end of his 4 years we’ll need these major denominations just to buy flour and eggs.

Wahhhh my husband tried to help overthrow the government and now I think taxpayers should give me their money for it 😭😭
We lost everything over J6. My husband, Jay Johnston, is an actor and comedian with a career spanning over three decades. A lifetime of work in the entertainment industry disappeared overnight, replaced with a campaign designed to banish us from society completely. Networks and studios publicly blacklisted him before any charges or arrest. He was fired from Bob’s Burgers and several other ongoing projects. Theaters around Los Angeles put messages up on their marquees. Social media filled up with thousands of death threats and hateful messages. Friends disappeared. We were de-banked. Everything we ever worked for was gone. He went from working in Hollywood for decades to doing handyman jobs just to survive. Federal agents raided our home at dawn. They dragged us out of bed in our underwear at gunpoint and forced him to kneel in the dirt while the entire neighborhood watched. The government and media worked together to destroy us. I lost my career even though I wasn’t there that day. Our daughter, who was only 11 and has autism, was kicked out of her special needs programs. School administrators denied us. Other parents boycotted us and wouldn’t let their kids near her. She was placed on the Quiet Skies terrorist watchlist and subjected to repeated invasive searches at the airport. The sensory overload was so bad we couldn’t take her to visit her grandfather while he was going through cancer treatment. Our story is not unique. Hundreds of other families went through similar nightmares. Some lost their homes, businesses, marriages, and children. Military benefits gone. Fathers spent years in prison. Many were in solitary confinement, denied medical care and religious services, missing funerals and family milestones. The stress destroyed their health. Some J6ers even took their own lives. It’s time for restitution. Every ruined life, every traumatized child, and every stolen year demands full accountability and fair compensation. The amounts must reflect the true, permanent damage done - lost careers that spanned decades, destroyed futures, and irreplaceable family time - so victims are made whole, not given token settlements.

Talarico preaches a Christian faith that includes having only a single wife he's faithful to. This sort of message doesn't fit with Texas.

Paxton: Talarico’s messages don't fit with Texas. They fit with California. He would be a good nominee for U.S. Senate in California, maybe Illinois, maybe Massachusetts. Most of his answers don’t fit with Democrats or Republicans.

Most BYU fans knew AJ wasn't coming back. At most there was maybe a 2% chance at best. For Utah fans following intently, that's the same as 1 percent for every Big 12 BB win this year. It's also 1 percent for every returning scholarship player who played any minutes last year

As with almost everything else, the college sports Executive order shows most Americans’ complete lack of understanding of how the law and government work. This is NOT a partisan or even political take BTW

I understand the strategy of fouling while ahead but I hate it. I’d like a rule that gives the trailing team two shots and the ball if fouled under one minute
