WELCOME NEW FOLLOWERS 🙏🏽 If you're new to my commentary: I'm a political independent — I don't support either establishment party or their corporate media mouthpieces. I'm a follower of Jesus (not of organized religion), and I believe we are called to protect the vulnerable and oppressed. I grew up a hunter and gun owner, was a child conscript, and survived a decade in a war zone. Which is why I find human violence, in all its terrible forms, to be a scourge on our planet. I've been working in national politics for 25 years, and I've come to recognize that Americans are among the most propagandized people in the world. I believe in liberty and justice for ALL, freedom of speech and religion, due process, and our Constitutional right to protest. I respect those who are willing to defend their principles under all circumstances, not just when it fits a partisan agenda. I believe in honor, loyalty, integrity, fairness, family, and community. I believe no one in America (or anywhere) should be homeless, hungry, or lack health care. I don't want my government subsidizing war crimes or fighting other people's conflicts. I respect healthy debate and disagreement, but I have no tolerance for duopoly talking points and spin. Most importantly, I believe we must treat each other with compassion, kindness, and love. Thank you for being here. P.S. Before politics, I had a career as a producer/keyboardist, working on hundreds of recordings by artists including Miles Davis, Björk, and Mariah Carey.

I took this video to give you a moment of peace.

Our world can be so beautiful. I took this photo of a "flame tree."

POLL: Do terms like 'antisemitism', 'antisemitic', 'blood libel' etc. mean anything anymore? Or are they just weaponized propaganda now?

"The LORD hates hands that shed innocent blood, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies, and a person who stirs up conflict in the community." - From Proverbs 6:16-19

Being a good person is winning. Being a bad person is losing. It doesn't matter how much money or power you have. It doesn't matter how many people you can oppress and harm.

JESUS WAS CLEAR ABOUT PROTECTING KIDS: "See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven." - Matthew 18:10

As a lifelong @nyknicks fan, it's exciting to watch their championship run. But it annoys me that every camera cutaway is to some rich celebrity instead of regular New Yorkers. #nba #nyknicks

Both Jews and Christians are bound by Micah 6:8 "And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."

Just like Democratic leaders, Joe Scarborough wants to goad Trump into war with Iran. Sickening.

Hey @HunterBiden, I see you're building a candid social media presence. Since you're speaking about politics and your father is the former POTUS, I'm genuinely curious to hear your thoughts about his genocidal war crimes.

Drones are being used to slaughter civilians in Sudan too.

The future is bleak for Israel. As boomers die off, a new generation that despises Israelis will run the world. A generation that sees the Palestinian cause as central to their moral identity. A generation inoculated against propaganda and unfazed by being called antisemitic.

What it means to truly follow Jesus: "Loose the chains of injustice, untie the cords of the yoke, set the oppressed free, share your food with the hungry, provide the poor wanderer with shelter, clothe the naked." - From Isaiah 58:6–8

🇺🇸 For the first time ever, Americans are more pro-Palestinian than pro-Israeli. 🌐 A new global survey shows a massive surge of hate for Israel. Meanwhile, CNN, BBC, & NYT report that Hezbollah and Iran are stronger and Hamas is not defeated. An absolute disaster for Israel.

I took this sunset photo for you.

QUESTION: Is the term "antisemitism" accurate in today's world? Is it more precise to use anti-Jewish, anti-Christian, anti-Muslim, etc?

A lucky shot. I pointed my camera at this eagle as it took flight off a light pole.

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." - Ephesians 6:12

What kind of monster deliberately shoots a child in the head? What kind of world allows it to happen?
