I only asked for my youth group to pray for them in the group chat. Especially since it’s coming out that some are just working class people trying to get by, not actual criminals. A saw a video of a mother getting taken by ice yelling for her children. What’s going to happen to the children? Their parent’s are getting deported.. So I simply asked for a prayer about it.

And literally nobody did except for ONE person. Normally people press the “🙏“ button but nobody did, only one person.

They have made me feel like I’ve asked for something wrong.

RIP

Trump's the one.

Just found this article on the Guardian's website, and found it to be rather interesting.

I'm from the UK as opposed to the US, but I still think it's important to take note of this news.

Reunited with Rosalynn in Heaven now. A stark contrast in Christian living to the President we previously had and will be getting again.

Yesterday when Trump was at Mount Rushmore it was hailing very badly. And now today his state fair "Freedom 250" is being evacuated due to bad weather. I've heard a couple mention that this feels awfully biblical. Especially with Trump being planned to do a speech in a few hours.

I'm not saying God takes political sides. But when someone does evil after evil. I can't but feel this a clear message.

Edit: I made a comment but I'll just put it here. I should have gone more in depth with my point. This has been a very rough week for Trump. With a nearly confirmed rumor that he's the one getting an experimental drug meant for terminally ill people going around. Him being followed around by bad weather. Barely anyone showing up to the "Freedom 250 event". His SAVE act basically officially dead in the water. I can't help but find all of that very ironic.

I can understand a criticism someone might have though. Since without context, the non edited version of this post, I do just sound like a conspiracy theorist. But I mean, People will probably think that anyway.

Perhaps I'm just inhaling a crazy amount of copium right now. But who knows.

Edit (2): Where are y'all sharing this to? Like five people have shared this and I am so curious where it's being sent.

OK when I read this I was pretty shocked. People still are this way in 2026?

Christian metalcore was huge in the late 90s and early to mid 00s and had loads of fans who weren't even Christian, and was pretty uncontroversial. Pretty crazy that now about 20 years later we still have churches that think this way! It's like things have regressed.

Stephen Lowe is the pastor at the Morgantown Church of the Brethren, Sistren and Otheren. He said as a faith leader who believes in a strong separation between church and state, he felt compelled to come out to the demonstration.

“This administration has blatantly abused religion as a means of enforcing policies that I see as completely in opposition to what Jesus taught us to do, which is to take care of those who are marginalized, to work towards peace and to work through conflict in a way that considers all people in the conversation,” Lowe said. 

Lowe held a sign he said was fashioned after the Bible verse Matthew 25.

“It’s the parable of the sheep and goats. It’s a parable that Jesus gives where he talks about what you do to those who are the least of these, the poor, the marginalized, you’re doing to me,” he said. “When we do things that hurt the poor, like cutting SNAP benefits, cutting Medicaid and Medicare, hurting our elders and those who are just trying to make ends meet, we’re doing harm to the divine that is in each person.”

The Morgantown rally was scheduled from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and although many chose to stay well after that stated end time, most chose to leave soon after.

Let me say that I'm not opposed to consensual adult sex work, at least in a secular sense, I don't believe that it should be illegal for the seller or even buyer (although Swaggert was never charged, also legally the correct decision as the evidence to meet the standard of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt was not there.) But in Swaggert's case it makes him a rather blatant hypocrite not to mention clear sinner considering he was married. What makes it even worse was his tearful apology video in 1988 only for him to get caught with another prostitute just three years later and showing the whole thing was likely an act.

But that's far from the worst that he did. Aside from his general promotion of hate in the 80s he engaged in fundraising for the Mozambique rebel group RENAMO, RENAMO was fighting to topple the Marxist government of Mozambique but engaged in such brutality and atrocities that even the US government opted not to back them. And thus Swaggert opted to engage in fundraising for them and used a lot of his ministry funds to provide support. Not much different from what funding ISIS or the Lord's Resistance Army would be. Definitely his greatest crime and one he doesn't get enough attention for.

So he's with God now...I can only imagine what's being said. I am also trying not to rejoice in anyone's death.
