Those seriously advocating for #NationalDivorce have little understanding of history, civics, or demographics. It is a dangerous fantasy that would be devastating to every American, except for the grifters who profit from keeping us divided, as well as our foreign enemies.

2. Like it or not, California needs Florida; Texas needs New York; Michigan needs Georgia; Arizona needs Pennsylvania…and visa versa in every case. Every state has Conservative and Liberal citizens from different ethnic and religious backgrounds. A #NationalDivorce would … ->
3. … not be a neat geographical divide, but a multi-faceted fragmentation with no straight lines or easy alliances. We are stronger together, despite our differences. To shatter this Republic would be catastrophic and more costly than any of us could bear. The likelihood of ->
4. … violence and bloodshed would be high. Doesn’t anyone remember the brutal American Civil War? Have you watched civil wars across the globe within the past 50 years? Most people in America want to find a way forward together. But we are being poorly served and polarized ->
5. … by selfish politicians, pundits, and false prophets. An accurate study of history, civics, demographics, and economics would incentivize us to work out our differences in such a way as to benefit the greater good while respecting individual conscience and conviction. ->
6. It’s time to turn down the volume on the divisive voices of hate, the fear-mongering grifters, the self-serving power-seekers, the conspiracy theorists. Seek out your neighbors — including those who may not look or think just like you — and build relationships that benefit ->
7. the community. Our ultimate answer is not in politics, but we should seek to support those who place statesmanship above partisanship; who choose integrity above corruption; competency above ambition. There is good work to be done…together. -END-

P.S. for this thread: Every American should read “Divided We Fall: America’s Secession Threat and How to Restore Our Nation,” the prophetic and insightful 2020 book by David French. It remains especially timely for us.

#Ukraine and #Poland 🧵

1. I just got off the phone with a Pastor our ministry serves in Poland. He told me of one of their churches in Ukraine is serving more than 200 refugees each day with food, shelter, supplies. They even have a doctor in the church caring for people.

-> ImageImage
2. Many of these Ukrainian refugees are women and children; in that area, they do not yet want to leave Ukraine, but to stay and help.

Meanwhile, he said Poland is bearing up well at the moment, but in 2-3 weeks he doesn’t know how the country will be able to adequately care ->
3. … for the huge influx of Ukrainian refugees; nearly 1 million so far. He said every church in his area of #Poland is opened to care for Ukrainians and thousands of families are personally taking in strangers in need. It’s amazing and heartbreaking. This is the love of #Jesus. Image

A very brief 🧵

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 ->

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 ->

1. Brief THREAD on #TrumpTownHall

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 ->
