Throughout our history, there are many who have been unable to turn around their lives and abandon the path of destruction they have set themselves upon. A very ill, chronic alcoholic for example may tragically persist in his addiction although it is destroying his liver, his brain and his life. But he will almost certainly not claim that alcohol is actually doing him a world of good! But nowadays, not only do the gravely damaged and deluded pillory the truth, they claim that the lie is in fact very good for them!
In the New Testament, Jesus describes the deluded of His time and the similarly deluded of every age:
“they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.”
And therein lies hope for us all - and the possibility of release from the dungeon chains of delusion.
In the parable of the prodigal son, Jesus raises the glorious possibility of redemption, when he proclaims that the prodigal “came to his senses” - and soon after, started the journey back home to his Father’s house.
The millions of our deluded countrymen, friends and family may also “come to their senses” - and by a miracle, return to the embrace of Him who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

A quick reminder:
Christianity will never perish, but godly Christians will always be persecuted. Today the intensity of persecution is rising.
"Children in China are prohibited from attending Christian church services, and the Chinese Communist Party rewrites Bible verses to support official pronouncements from the State. Sharing the gospel online is a crime, and Christian pastors are regularly arrested and “disappeared.” In India, Hindu terrorists set Christian churches and Bibles on fire and beat up and murder Christian parishioners. Muslims in Indonesia hunt down Christians as if they were animals. Muslims in Nigeria have massacred or abducted a hundred thousand Christians over the last six years and have destroyed some 20,000 Christian churches and schools. Islamic governments in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran discriminate against Christians, punish them ruthlessly for their beliefs, and execute anyone brave enough to convert to Christianity. In North Korea, ...
“Groypers”, as Fuentes fans are known, are not conservatives. They are the voice of a generation which feels ignored, mistreated and unfairly maligned. They don’t want “small government”, they want revenge.
The bulwark against this voice of Cain was shot in the neck and killed on a college campus a few weeks ago. Charlie Kirk was single-handedly leading the Zoomer Right away from bitterness and resentment, towards God, family and service. How and whether the remaining principled conservatives try to resolve this attempt to take over their movement remains to be seen.

No. But that will be the fake news of the coming week.
X keeps interesting records of their traffic.
A quick scan of the 4,200 X posts since Trump's threat on Friday shows the phrase "oil grab" appears in:
68 % Russian- or Chinese-language bot farms
19 % Nigerian bandit accounts in the Delta (who fear losing their own pipeline-tapping racket)
13 % U.S. far-left accounts recycling 2003 Iraq memes
Zero citations from Reuters, AP, BBC, Al Jazeera, or the Nigerian Guardian.
