Apparently the Justice Dept. is compiling a list of suspected domestic terrorists which will include those who advocate for open borders, something I've been doing for a long time, including in the introduction to "Neighbor" my award-winning book on immigration. Ms Bondi: put me on that list!

I get that everything is not about me but it sure feels like FIFA are doing everything they can to make me less interested in next year’s World Cup. apnews.com/article/trum...

Make no mistake: the drug causing the US war on Venezuela is neither cocaine nor fentanyl. It is the drug to which our automobiles are addicted.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

I'm hoping my forthcoming book puts me ahead of Donald Trump in line for the Nobel Peace Prize. Not that I think I'll win said award, but I do want to finish ahead of the guy who provokes and international incident every time an escalator doesn't work.

Just submitted a manuscript to its publisher. Let the edits commence! www.amazon.com/Grace-Over-G...

From my forthcoming book, "Grace Over Guns," (due out June of '26).

More from my forthcoming book's rough draft. Incidentally, Herald Press has given my book a new title: "Grace Over Guns: Pursuing Peace in a Militarized World." It's set to be released in a year.

In which a sports business empire owned by a Roman Catholic, Italian American family buys a controlling interest in a soccer club with (and this is no exaggeration) the world most rabidly anti-Catholic fan base. Pass the popcorn. Things could get interesting. www.nytimes.com/athletic/639...

This part will probably remain in my book...

Here's something I wrote from a book I'm writing. It's good, but it didn't work where I'd written it, so for now it's been cut from the book. It may yet make it back in, but for now, because I think it deserves to be read, I'm publishing it on social media.

Just did an interview for German radio. The journalist wanted to know what my progressive church is doing in the Trump 2.0. Here's the thing: it's clear that the German guy was scared about what was going to happen in the United States, and he was scared because he grew up in postwar Germany. Scary.

Further evidence of my forthcoming book.

I'm happy to say that after a ten-year hiatus from writing books, I'm back in the "Author" business. Thanks to a recently-signed deal with The Herald Press, I'll be writing a book on Christian Pacifism, due out next Spring. I'm so happy to be working on the next volume in my literary corpus.

When do we change the name of New Mexico to "New America?"

Question: now that English is the official language of the United Stated, so we have to call the Sierra Nevada the “Snowy Mountains?” And what about Mar a Lago?

I made a quick visit to my hometown on Sunday. It's a rural and remote place on California's North Coast. Turns out the Federal Government has cut funding for meal programs that were providing food for low-income seniors. The area's programs are shutting down. That's Musk, keeping things classy.

Here's a sermon I preached (or a re-recording of a sermon I preached) in which I exhorted Presbyterians to preach prophetically and pastorally in the Second Trump era. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RNL...

So this is a real thing, apparently. I don't know if it makes me want to laugh till my sides hurt to howl into the void till my vocal chords rip. www.govtrack.us/congress/bil...

I can't promise I'd be disappointed. denmarkification.com?utm=.share.b...

The President has called for ethnic cleansing in Gaza, which is a crime against humanity, regardless of what one does or does not think of politics in the Middle East. We are living through an immense moral crisis. Fellow faith leaders, we must speak up. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

My God. The boot-licking! thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Trump is attacking a bishop for suggesting that he show mercy to fearful people, the marginalized, immigrants, and children. Yet, Trump pardoned 1500 convicted felons, including those who violently attacked police officers. This tells us much about what to expect going forward.

In solidarity with Bishop Budde I’m posting a photo of a book I wrote back in the day. If you are going to call for her deportation call for mine as well.

huh...

Am I the only person who fears there is some message behind the First Lady's decision to dress like the femme fatale out of an Indiana Jones film?

Trump is saluting for the anthem? He has never served in uniform. Stolen valor?

I liked this last clergyman until he invoked Fred Trump as if he was a saint.

Former presidents smirking during a technological glitch in the sound system. Priceless.

Stop all wars? How? By invading Greenland and Panama?

For the record, Chinese Immigrants laid down the railroads, at least in the West.

Wow. Erasure of the Native American populations.

The spirit of the frontier? You mean genocide?

Manifest destiny? He just invoked Manifest destiny? Holy Crap!

Here’s a guy who just said he’s a peacemaker who just declared war on Panama.

No. He didn’t. Gulf of America?

Dog whistle anyone?

Free speech? Will that extend to those speaking out on behalf of Palestinian victims of genocide?

Is Bill Clinton laughing?

National emergency at the southern border. This, dearly beloved, is how it all begins.

He keeps mentioning God as if he knows who that is.

Don’t bring in MLK. For crying out loud.

Liberation day? Of for crying out loud.

Fear mongering. Here we go…
