One Way
Israel and Hamas came to a ceasefire agreement in October. Since then, Israel has made multiple attacks. People are upset ... but no one seems to ask why? They carried out another one this week, and the media is quite sure Israel is the offender. No one seems to admit that Hamas keeps shooting at Israel, threatening to pull out of the agreement, failing to release the promised hostages, and targeting civilians. No, no, it's evil Israel's wrongdoing. A strange "one way" to look at the situation.

After Biden's botched Afghanistan withdrawal debacle that left Afghans ... women especially ... in peril, a program of allowing Afghans to come here almost indiscriminately has caused its own problems. Last week it was a shooting in Washington D.C. by an Afghan. This week, DHS arrested another Afghan national for a bomb threat in Texas. Can this be directly attributed to the Biden administration? Maybe ... maybe not ... but ... it's not good. Are the open border types, "sanctuary city" types, going to defend these immigrants?

Here's an interesting one. Costco, a traditionally left-leaning company (They don't lobby or endorse ... but 98% of their political donations are to Democrats and their aims.) is suing the Trump administration for his tariffs. Presidents have used tariffs in the past even if it's Congress's job to do it, but Costco is finally making a political statement and revealing their true position. That is, if, in our nation, it is illegal for Trump to do this, the authorities should be handling it, not ... Costco.
Duh!
I've thought this for a long time, but now a study agrees. The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (ABCD) between 2018 and 2020 concluded that children who are given smartphones before the age of 12 are at a higher risk for obesity, poor sleep, and other problems. Starting with television before the age of 5 all the way to smartphones before the age of 12, we're finding over and over our "improved technology" has some astoundingly bad unintended consequences for our children ... and we just keep doing it.

A woman in Boulder, Colorado, did her part in fulfilling the Great Commission by going out and purchasing a mug that says, "All I need Today is a little bit of coffee and a whole lot of Jesus." She's wearing her faith right out front and taking the gospel to the world ... sort of. It seems that Minnesota has made the list of "foreign countries" HSS Secretary Kristi Noem is planning to ban travel to (actual story). I can sympathize. In many ways it does seem like a foreign country. Finally, in a little reported story, apparently Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in his assault on illegal drugs (14 strikes since September) sent drones to target Hunter Biden in an attempt to decrease the demand for illegal drugs. Well ... I mean ... it does make some sense ... right?
Must be true; I read it on the internet.

To the pro Palestine folks, the only real ceasefire will occur when Israel puts down their arms and let's Hamas do whatever they like without repercussion. They view Israel as a purely evil entity that would like nothing less than to annihilate the "Palestinians", even though they've done a horrible job of it. I've even heard some reports that even during the conflict the last two years, there has been an increase in population in Gaza. Israel is really bad at genocide.

I fully blame the Biden admin. I heard from a soldier that was actually involved at one of the bases that was inprocessing Afghanies that said they were constantly giving false names and were allowed by Command to let those that left the base before being vetted to just go free. Who knows how many were let in during that process that weren't fully vetted.

I'm not clear on the legality of Trump's blanket tariffs, but I agree, it shouldn't be private companies regulating the Executive. The fact that Congress hasn't brought any legal action, only a few decrying Trump, tells me there isn't much of a leg to stand on.
Duh!
We've gotten to this sad point where people won't believe a thing unless there's been a study on it, unless it's something they want, then they'll just go off "lived experience". I'm an adult and can see the detriment screens are. By simple logic it should be clear that it is exponentially worse for children. But no, we won't believe that without a study. Just like, we must have a study to verify that sterilizing and drugging pre-adolecent children will have harmful physical and psychological effects.

Sadly, too many of us Christians see that as good enough evangelism.
Obama targeted US citizens with drones and nobody made a fuss, why now for Trump?
On the pro-Palestinian stuff, the only "ceasefire" they'll accept is "from the river to the sea" ... the complete elimination of the nation.
"We won't believe that without a study." We won't believe it WITH a study. Science says, "Sugar doesn't give kids a sugar rush" and no mother on earth believes it. Science says, "Men and women are biologically different in ways that affect gender" and people ignore it. On and on. They believe what they want.
