"Earlier this week, Time published a story about Volodymyr Zelensky’s struggle to, well, make people still care about his war, given that there is now another conflict unfolding in the Middle East. “He deludes himself,” one of his closest aides told Time. “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that.”
There are different ways to look at this. You might say the only people more deluded than Zelensky are his Western backers. Or you might say the plan has always been fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian and that it required someone as deluded as Zelensky from the start.
Meanwhile, the southern U.S. border remains open. How bad is it? In a letter obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday, the mayors of Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, and New York pressed to “meet with President Joe Biden about getting federal help in managing the surge of migrants they say are arriving in their cities with little to no coordination, support or resources from his administration.”
The problem has become unbearably real, even for liberals.
“Migrants are sleeping in police station foyers in Chicago. In New York, a cruise ship terminal was turned into a shelter,” the letter said. “In Denver, the number of migrants arriving has increased tenfold and available space to shelter them has withered.”

1. The country is only a minor contributor to America’s drug problem; the necessary violence of war cannot be Biblically justified to protect American citizens
2. Both rural and urban terrain would be a nightmare for modern warfare
3. Venezuela’s forces are built for decades-long guerrilla war, not conventional defense
4. Logistics would be slow, vulnerable, and expensive
5. The out-of-order oil fields are unwinnable battlefields: sinkholes of corruption, sabotage, and ecological collapse.
6. Occupation would lead to political and economic chaos, not stability
7. The loss of young American infantry could easily surpass that of Vietnam
An invasion of Venezuela would be quick to start but impossible to finish. The terrain, the logistics, and the complexity of the country’s politics make it a trap for any foreign army. And far from securing oil or influence, it would likely unleash environmental and humanitarian chaos that no one could control. Venezuela is a fragile state sitting on a volatile resource, not a battlefield the U.S. could ever truly win.
They don't unite truth with faith.
"Christians have been duped into being fearful, timid, and neurotic. We walk around as if we are the most ignorant of all people, unable to cope with basic social stigma, even though we’re the only ones who have the Truth, and the Lord Almighty has our backs against anything that would threaten us. Somehow, we can’t seem to bridge the gap between believing the miracles and promises we read in the Bible and applying it real life; thus making it an empty “religion” rather than an explosive, reality-shattering revelation about how everything truly works."
