One of my friends…He goes, I just can’t believe in a God that would send me to hell just because I don’t believe in Him.
I said, Why is that?
And he goes, Because that’s an ultimatum. Believe in Jesus or go to hell. That sounds manipulative.
I said, Let me ask you something. If a building is already on fire and someone kicks the door open and says, Come out, this is the only way, is that an ultimatum, or is it a rescue?
He said, What do you mean?
I said, Well, you were already going to hell. I was already going to hell. That’s not God being cruel. That’s humanity choosing sin, and that’s justice.
God does not send innocent people to hell. The fact is, there are no innocent people. The standard is perfection. Not better than your neighbor. Not mostly good. Perfection.
I asked him, Have you ever lied? Have you ever lusted? Have you ever hated someone? Have you ever been prideful?
He said, Yeah.
I said, Well, then you’re guilty. I said, To be honest, I have too. We’re all guilty.
And he goes, So you’re telling me it’s believe or just burn?
And I said, No. It’s guilty but rescued. You weren’t standing on neutral ground and God came up and just shoved you toward the fire. You were already falling, and He caught you before you hit the ground.
Jesus didn’t come to threaten you. He came to take your sentence. The Cross was not an ultimatum. It was a substitution.
Justice says the wage of sin is death, but love says, I’ll pay it for you.
A friend asked me, But why make belief the condition?
And I said, Because love can’t be forced. Salvation is not a hostage situation. It’s a gift. If someone pays your debt, you still have to accept it. If you refuse it, the debt doesn’t disappear.
God is not saying, Believe in Me or I’ll torture you. He’s saying, You’re already dying. I made a way. Take it.
Hell is not proof that God is cruel. The Cross is proof that He’s not.
And if you’re wrestling with that same question, it means the door is still open.

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. ”

My wife, our youngest, and me. Somehow I’m the translator for two people speaking the exact same language that I don’t even fully understand.

What a glorious day that will be.
It’s why there’s no reason to blackpill. All we can do is lead as many as possible to Jesus and be ready to celebrate when He comes.

This is only partially true.
The modern left is hyper-focused on the self—not on individual liberty the way the right is, but on intersectional identity, lived experience, and one’s place in the oppressed/oppressor hierarchy. That hierarchy is its sole organizing worldview.
The right accepts that people sometimes suffer from their choices or circumstances, especially when those people aren’t close. The left is willing to make people suffer in the name of the “greater good”. Bread lines are no problem as long as everybody is standing in them.

You're at a point in your history where you're literally launching skyscrapers into orbit and then catching them on other skyscrapers.
There's precisely zero reason for you to not know the outcome of every single election relevant to you by the end of Election Day.

I got to my first boat, a nuclear powered sub, when I was 20. I worked in the engine room on said sub. The entire engine room and nuclear reactor was the responsibility of roughly 20-25 high achieving retards, including me as soon as I qualified for a watch.

Today has really fucked me off.
People think all pilots look like me, old, grey, half bald with a beer in hand. They forget that we all have to start somewhere. As a 20 year old copilot getting a job on a Lear (after passing the ATP, and the aircraft type rating), getting shit thrown at you every day by experienced Captains (who only want you to learn) until the point at which you get selected for Captaincy. You’ve worked so hard, you’ve dedicate your entire life to that moment and what it means beyond.
To have that cut short is absolutely devastating, it’s a brutal, one chance only world, get it wrong once and there are no second chances.
So before you post about a 20 year old female pilot being in such a position ask yourself what you’d done by 20? Ask yourself how your friends and family would feel tonight.
Above all, leave it to the investigators to work it out.

Working at Oculus would have been an utter waste of my time except for one thing.
While I was there, I realized what's wrong with leftists.
Not that they have been programmed, that's obvious. Not why they have been programmed. For power, that's obvious, too.
But how they have been programmed.
The exact method that their moral compass has been destroyed works like this:
Target a bunch of people with very few deeds and accomplishments, such as young people or incompetent people, or incompetent young people.
Create for them an environment where they are rewarded with moral approval, not for what they do, but for believing certain ideas.
The ideas don't have to be outrageous, or absurd, or have anything to do with what you actually need them to believe. In fact, it's better to start with something innocuous.
Why? Because the goal isn't to install those beliefs at all. The goal is to repeat this process until you create a person who measures his moral worth by what he believes, not what he does.
Keep at this until you have created a mass of people who not only reward themselves with a feeling of moral superiority for believing the right things, but who will reward each other for believing orthodox things, and who will compete with each other, not to do the most good, but to have the most orthodox beliefs.
Now, change one of the propositions you have programmed them with to a slightly more radical version of itself, and hold this up as a more correct version of the old belief, which has been newly discovered by scholarly investigations into culture and moral philosophy.
Sit back, watch, and give them a few weeks to compete with each other to adopt the new belief, and to condemn the "evil" of anyone who believes the old belief, the very thing they believed last month.
Repeat this process until they are used to rapidly changing their entire belief system in response to an external cue.
Congratulations, you have a population of entirely programmable people whose moral compass is not just broken, but entirely non-existent.
They don't care what any person in front of them actually does. Only that he believe the orthodox thing, which they just learned about in last week's memo.
They are willing to do anything, so long as it is done in support of their current belief system, which can be replaced whenever it's convenient to do so.
They are willing to burn down an entire city with no qualms whatsoever if they are doing it in support of the idea that black lives matter.
They are willing to murder a man in front of his children, and it doesn't matter if his actions were entirely peaceful and good, because all that matters to them is whether he believes the correct things or not.
And a man who builds cheap spaceflight for the human race, develops viable electric cars to save the environment, restores voices to the voiceless, and plans, for his next trick, to heal the blind... well, all those are deeds, so none of them matter. The only thing that matters is that he told people to vote republican once, which is wrongthink.
So what you have a horde of communist zombies, who can be steered to shuffle in any direction and attack the living, eat their brains, and turn them into more zombies.
Once someone becomes one of the zombies, you can't cure him, because a moral compass can only be repaired by understanding the consequences of actions in a new way... and they don't care about actions or consequences. They only care about beliefs, and not about consequences at all.
Their moral compasses aren't just broken. They are absent. There's nothing to repair.
You have to understand that the zombies are zombies now.

If you want this seemingly constant push for more mass migration in the name of economic efficiency to end, you have to vote these people out in primaries.
And if you live in any of these states, you’ve got about one year to find a viable candidate to run against them.
🚨 33 U.S. SENATORS WANT MORE FOREIGN WORKERS.
Republicans AND Democrats.
They're urging the Trump administration to issue the maximum number of additional H-2B visas for 2027.
Their argument? American workers alone can't meet employers' needs.
Here's my question:
Before expanding foreign-worker programs, shouldn't employers have to prove they offered competitive wages and genuinely tried to hire Americans?
A labor shortage and a shortage of workers willing to accept the offered wage aren't necessarily the same thing.

You are not. Nothing surprises me anymore. Nothing shocks me.
I’m on the slow, inexorable, walk towards either Jesus’ return or my death, come what may.

We have a significant development out of Jordan tonight, along with several other developments across the Middle East worth bringing together before we call it a night.
Jordan
Jordanian aircraft have carried out strikes inside southern Syria following Friday’s attack on St. George’s Greek Orthodox Church in Karak, which killed nine people and wounded dozens more. Jordan says the strikes targeted militant hideouts connected to extremist activity uncovered during the investigation into the church attack. Earlier today, Jordanian security forces captured the three men accused of carrying out the shooting after tracking them to an abandoned house in Karak. All three were wounded and taken alive after reportedly opening fire on security forces.
Jordanian authorities have described the suspects as extremists, but they have not identified them as members of a particular terrorist organization, and no organization has claimed responsibility for the church attack.
Syria says Jordan’s strikes killed seven civilians, including three children and a woman, and disputes Jordan’s assertion that the operation was coordinated with Damascus. Syria has now closed the principal Nassib border crossing between the two countries.
That turns what began as a terrorist attack and domestic investigation into a cross-border military and diplomatic confrontation. We need to watch what happens next very carefully.
Egypt and Saudi Arabia
Egypt’s parliament has formally authorized President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi to provide military assistance to Saudi Arabia as Houthi missile and drone attacks continue.
For now, Egypt is describing its potential role as defensive. That could include aircraft and air-defense systems used to intercept incoming missiles and drones. Cairo says it does not intend to send ground forces into Yemen or participate in offensive operations there. Authorization does not mean Egyptian forces have entered combat, but another major Arab military now has the legal authority to participate directly in Saudi Arabia’s defense if requested.
Iran and Diplomacy
At the same time, an unusual amount of diplomacy is taking place in Tehran.
Senior officials from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey met Iranian officials today, while Qatar continues its own mediation efforts in coordination with Washington. Discussions are expected to continue, but no agreement or breakthrough has been announced. That diplomatic effort is worth watching because it is occurring while military preparations throughout the region continue to increase.
Yemen
The Saudi-led coalition says it has destroyed additional Houthi ballistic-missile infrastructure, including missile-storage tunnels and launchers.
Fighting around Mokha is also moving dangerously close to humanitarian operations. Doctors Without Borders reports that strikes landed near Mokha General Hospital, damaging the facility, although patients and staff were unharmed. This remains one of the most active fronts in the region, and the potential involvement of Egyptian air-defense assets would represent another significant change.
The United States
Despite everything happening tonight, I have not seen confirmation of new American strikes against Iran or an attack against American personnel.
Washington continues to signal that additional military action remains possible, while regional governments are simultaneously trying to find a diplomatic way to prevent another major round of fighting. That leaves us in an uncomfortable position tonight. Jordan has now crossed into Syria, Egypt is preparing to help defend Saudi Arabia, the Saudi-Houthi fight continues, and senior regional officials are sitting across the table from Iran trying to keep another war from beginning.
