US Military hero and National Security Advisor to former President Trump @AVindman warned the world about Trump’s horrific July 2019 phone call to #Ukraine President #Zelenskyy, when Trump attempted to extort Zelenskyy into digging up imagined dirt on Biden ->
2. … and threatening to halt shipment of Congressionally-approved, desperately needed defensive weapons from the US to Ukraine. #Vindman and other witnesses exposed Trump’s illegal and wicked scheme, which lead to Trump’s first impeachment. For his patriotic and honorable ->
3. … service to our nation, Lt. Col. Vindman was excoriated and threatened by corrupt Trump and Trumpist politics allies, and social media bots controlled by Putin and Russia. After an intense campaign by Trumpists against Vindman, he resigned. In light of the current Russian ->
4. … violent invasion of #Ukraine, we should remember the heroism of Lt. Col. Vindman and all who testified truthfully regarding Trump’s enablement of #Putin aggression and corruption. Also remember those who unjustly attacked Vindman, such as Sen. Marsha #Blackburn (R-TN).
END
Everyone who is interested in the truth regarding America’s relationship with #Ukraine, #Zelenskyy, and #Russia — and the dangerous influence of #Putin on #Trump — should read “Here, Right Matters” by Lt. Col. Vindman.
While we were justifiably concerned that “pirates” might seize control of SBC, they had already seized control of NRB. If you see how Salem Media dictates NRB content; understand how much of Salem’s content is at odds with the Gospel; you see why they canceled Dan Darling.
2. Do a deep dive into the Salem empire. It’s seemingly a hodgepodge of big name Trumpist apologists, Christian Nationalists, AltRight, conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers, fascist-friendly goons, trolls, and pseudo-Christian religionists. Massive radio, TV, web presence.
3. Just a few more from Salem Media, the group that also seems to exercise enormous control over NRB.
1. There is an interesting, painful, necessary conversation/debate happening among principled Conservatives whom I admire. Some say the #Republican Party was always inherently deeply flawed and that today’s #Trumpist#GQP is simply a natural progression of this process.
->
2. Others say the #Republican Party was not always a haven for conspiracy theorists, racists, populist nationalists, theocrats; that it once was a party that valued the Constitution, competence, character, and integrity, in addition to Conservative policies.
->
3. May I say, both perspectives have merit? For decades, a profound tension has existed within the #Republican Party — the Conservative statesmanship vs the angry populism; appeals to aspiration vs appeals to fear and grievance. John Birch Society called Ike a “Communist!”

This will be a difficult thread to write. Another dear friend is dying due to #COVID. He and his son called today, so that he could say goodbye. He spoke with my Dad (who lives with me and my wife), gasping for breath and words. Dad had him on speaker so we could hear. ->
2. Dad had been carving the Thanksgiving turkey. He stopped and listened. His friend wanted to tell my Dad that he believed today was his last day. They have been buddies for almost 40 years. He told my Dad that he loved him and was thankful for their friendship. ->
3. He struggled to speak. So did my Dad, but Dad said he loved him and would see him soon “over there” in Heaven. We were all in tears. His son came back on the line, trying to maintain composure, but his heart is breaking for his Dad. My Dad comforted him, prayed for him, and ->
I’m so grieved tonight. Our #POTUS#Trump engaged in extraordinary levels of gaslighting, disinformation, outright lying. It’s too much for me to list all of it. He did a profound disservice to himself, his campaign, and the American people. ->
It gives me no joy to say this. We all *need* our President to be an honest, competent, clear-minded leader. But he hurt himself tonight in all of those regards. He made statements that were dangerous regarding #COVID, #QAnon, and peaceful elections. Some of “the base” are ->
3. Complaining that @SavannahGuthrie was too hard on him. NO! Her job is to draw our honest and clear answers from him; she did her best to hold his feet to the fire. His answers directly contradicted known facts or were blatantly disingenuous. Total disrespect for ->
Twitter needs more #waterfalls! SHARE some of your favorite GIFs, videos, photos of beautiful waterfalls here. Tells us as much as you can about them. Also, can anyone identify where this spectacular video below was taken?
Seriously, can someone tell me where the #waterfall in my tweet above is located? The source account doesn’t list it. Many other accounts that have posted it in the past haven’t mentioned it. Someone knows where this is — help me out! 😊
