www.bloomberg.com/news/article... — Trump decisions volatile, whimsy, irrational. Canadians think we have become a goofy and irrational enemy. Annex Canada? Nuts.

A disgraceful action against this beautiful national treasure. Not a peep from Congress. Trump rules by decree.

Is it really too much to ask that theistic philosophers of religion at least *try* to represent atheist philosophy of religion accurately? I just re-read Kreeft’s (1990) introduction to the Moreland-Nielsen debate. I found myself thinking, “He cannot be serious!” I’ll explain in a Substack post.

"The more analytic philosophy became dominant in the universities, the more it became removed from the concerns of the average person with philosophical interests."

The Executive is laying taxes without the consent of Congress. The Executive is spending money without the consent of Congress. Other than that, everything is totes normal.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

Hamas reasserts control on streets of Gaza, turning guns on its rivals—- Tragically complicated. Hanas will never disarm. Israel can never accept their return to power. Where is the international peacekeeping force? NOT US.

Childish.

His ass-holiness, Pope Not-So-Innocent: "Some people are saying no one does poping like me. That's what they're saying."

The Armed Forces must be politically neutral. Be respectful and responsive to the President and Sec Def. The safeguards to the Constitution rest with Congress, the Judicial system, the voters and the media. In my view our democracy is in grave danger.

I'm now posting on Substack. Here's a new post: "Steelmanning the Abductive Moral Argument" open.substack.com/pub/secularo... #philsky #philosophy #philrel #theism #atheism #apologetics

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

First he fired a U.S. Attorney for refusing to prosecute his political opponents. Then he installed a political aide and ordered them to come up with trumped-up criminal charges. It's corruption & an abuse of power by the President. abcnews.go.com/US/former-fb...

www.upi.com/Top_News/US/... Deeply disturbing. The actions of a Politburo. Childish. A very dangerous mindset. Something very wrong with Trump and his inner team.

🚨Adolf Hitler rose from political outcast to absolute ruler by exploiting fear, division, and public despair. As democratic institutions bowed to his will, freedom vanished. His rise is more than history—it’s a warning of how tyranny takes hold in plain sight. open.substack.com/pub/theintel...

taskandpurpose.com/news/trump-b... Hard to imagine what operational benefit regaining control of Bagram AFB gives the US. Securing and operating the base would be several thousand US military personnel. To what purpose?

While he offered an apology, it lacked any real substance. There was no offer to make amends, no explanation for how such a vile comment about lethal injections could be made in the first place, and no genuine sign of repentance. Doeshe actually regret what he said, or just that he said it publicly?

Hard to imagine. On air. A policy of murder? The constraints have been erased. Walking away from American values.

Murder. He’s calling for the murder of people, a significant percentage of whom are veterans who served in our country’s military.

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

Murder is never the answer. Politically-motivated violence is not okay no matter how much one disagrees with someone else's views. As someone who disagreed strongly with Charlie Kirk's political views, I strongly condemn his murder.

Thinking about the "Problem of the Unevangelized" and William Lane Craig's Molinist solution. If God has "middle knowledge" and knows who would freely believe, why are so many people born where they'll never hear the Gospel? It's not a coincidence, Craig says. It's a feature of God's perfect plan. 🤔

The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading. It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.

It looks like Trump stopped the West Point Military Academy from giving Tom Hanks an award because Hanks doesn’t support Trump. Trump is such a petty little bitch. www.npr.org/2025/09/06/n...

China just conducted the largest military display in history. Impressive cutting edge technology. The old peasant PLA is gone. Trump has destroyed our Pacific and NATO alliances and trust. Policy by adolescent whim. Tariffs killing our friends.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

This is so stupid because it is so transparently transactional and petty. It has nothing to do with what is best for the country. It’s all about perceived loyalty to Trump. Trump to move Space Command headquarters to Alabama from Colorado - www.reuters.com/business/aer...

Open planning to deny democratic elections. Some of it unlawful political warfare. Some of it like mail in ballots sheer stupidity.

What Pritzker Said open.substack.com/pub/charlies... — Essentially we are on the verge of becoming a police state selectively directed and enforced by Trump. This is sliding into a lawless regime. A government of gangsters. Congress has surrendered their powers to constrain the Executive.

I have never witnessed such groveling and obsequious behavior in my life. Trump ass kissing is nauseating. An American version of Kim Jong Un.

AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”

Diplomacy can only ratify battlefield realities. Trump openly supports Putin who has savaged Ukraine in aggressive war. He has publicly given Moscow the right to keep Ukraine land they hold. He has denied NATO future protection. Trump just wants a deal. Any deal.

US army rolling the red carpet to murderer’s plane. I will never forget this image.

‘Profound and Abiding Rage’: Canada’s Answer to America’s Abandonment www.nytimes.com/2025/08/10/o... —- Trump alienation of Canada with illegal threats of economic warfare or even military intervention are humiliating. Make no sense. Should be cause for removal from office.

Absolutely disgusting!

The America We Knew Is Rapidly Slipping Away www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/o... — Powerful warning. We are slipping into straight out Trump unconstrained rule by decree. Stupid moves. Our institutions being destroyed. Policy by babble. By whim.
