The political and ethical fruit of USA evangelicalism is rotten.
100 Days of Trump 2.0. What a quick slide into fascism, complete with open corruption, tax cuts for billionaires, defiance of courts, arresting judges, kidnapping citizens, concentration camps, senseless tariffs, collapsing alliances, gutted health research. Are we great again yet? Was it worth it?
Behold, the wreckage of social media, “news”, and the Republican Party. 🎉
Sometimes you just gotta rock-out to “I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow” by the Soggy Bottom Boys. I don’t make the rules.
Welp, we sure got to “arresting judges” quickly. Are we great again yet?

Thought experiment: You’re leading a 60-minute adult Sunday School session in the fundamentalist Christian tradition you grew up in. You’d like to scripturally and theologically problematize their beliefs in the most persuasive way possible. What will you say? Which passage(s) and argument(s)?
If you’ve used Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers for food storage before, what brands and sizes would you recommend? I’m thinking of going with Wallaby 1-gal bags with equivalent number of 400cc oxygen absorbers included.
