Georgia players were being told by coaches to put their helmets on as they were leaving the field. Upset Alabama fans were throwing bottles and cans at the players and on the field. #godawgs

No. My ancestors landed in Jamestown in 1625, fought the British in the Revolution, & for the Union in the Civil War.
A great thing about America is that none of that makes me more of an American than @NYCMayor or these new citizens.
Insisting it does, however *is* un-American.
I’m 70 years old. My father was US Air Force. So was I. We’ve been fighting our nations wars for 60 years.
Mamdani immigrated here and became a legal US citizen in 2018.
How dare a communist Ugandan lecture ME on what it means to be an American! He has no clue and he’s destroying NYC. He’s trying to destroy America.
My pissed off meter just maxed. Circuit breakers are popping,
Eff off, @NYCMayor. You’re in way over your head “American.”
Imagine taking something as innocent and sweet as what kindergarteners want to be when they grow up and injecting politics into it
What a world 🤣
Get outside and breathe some air

Only in America can one party control the White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives, win the popular vote, and hold the majority of governorships—and still blame the other party for everything wrong with the country.
Ah yes, the mob, aka the restaurant industry
This is absolutely insane. Trump says '86' is a "mob" term for "kill him". Hey @grok, is "86" a mob term for "kill him?"
"Get rid of him" is.
"Remove him" is.
"Make him go away" is as well.
Are those all now threats to say too if you are a Democrat?
Trump: “You know 86. It is a mob term for kill him. You know. Did you ever see the movies? ’86 him’ That means ‘kill him.’ I think of it as a mob term. People think of it as something having to do with disappearing. But the mob uses that term to say when they want ot kill somebody. They say ’86 the son of a gun.’ “

There is something deeply unsettling happening inside parts of American Christianity.
And if we are honest, it did not start with Donald Trump. But it has become impossible to ignore in the Trump era.
A recent piece in The Atlantic from Peter Wehner, a former speechwriter for the administrations of three Republican U.S. presidents, captures this tension well. It argues that for many believers, politics is no longer shaped by faith. Increasingly, it is replacing it.
Christianity was never meant to be about power. It was meant to be about transformation. Jesus did not call His followers to win culture wars. He called them to carry a cross. He did not say, “Defeat your enemies.” He said, “Love your enemies.” He did not say, “Protect your tribe at all costs.” He said, “Whoever wants to save their life will lose it.”
And yet, what we increasingly see in some corners of modern Christianity looks very different. We see anger reframed as righteousness. We see cruelty justified as strength. We see loyalty to political figures elevated to something dangerously close to devotion.
What we are witnessing is a substitution of faith with politics, transformation with power. When faith becomes shallow, something else fills the vacuum. And politics is very good at doing that. Politics offers identity. It offers purpose. It offers belonging. It offers a clear line between “us” and “them.” In many ways, it offers everything religion offers — except transformation.
And that is the danger.
Because when politics becomes a substitute for faith, it does not make people more Christ-like. It makes them more tribal. It teaches them to win, not to love. To dominate, not to serve. To justify, not to repent.
And over time, something subtle but profound happens: Jesus is no longer the center. He becomes a symbol — used to defend something else.
To be clear, this is not about left vs right. It is not about whether Christians should engage in politics. They should.
But engagement is not the same as surrender. Christians are called to influence the world. Not be conformed by it. And when the language, tone, and spirit of politics begin to override the teachings of Christ, something has gone wrong.
Deeply wrong.
But here is the hopeful part.
This is not the end of the story. Throughout history, Christianity has gone through seasons where it drifted toward power, toward institutions, toward political alignment. And each time, renewal came. Not through louder politics. But through deeper faith. Through people who returned to the core: humility, repentance, sacrifice, love.
That path is still open. And maybe that is the real question for all of us: Are we following Jesus… or are we using His name to follow something else? Because those two paths may look similar at first. But they lead to very different destinations.
Make it happen
