Americans Can’t Afford To Keep Letting Leftists ‘Learn’ From Their Mistakes
MAGA needs to stop the next left-wing manmade disaster before Democrats can 'learn' from it. America can only survive so much more of this kind of education.MAGA needs to stop the next left-wing manmade disaster before Democrats can 'learn' from it.

The world's richest man shared a candid moment in his religious journey this week on social media, much to the surprise and excitement of many Christian commentators.
On Tuesday afternoon, Elon Musk made a surprise admission under a post about "evangelizing" the multibillionaire.
'I agree with the teachings of Jesus.'
"Someone needs to evangelize Elon Musk," the original post said. "Who will lead him to Christ?"
Musk's reply generated more than twice the engagement as the first post, climbing close to four million views by Wednesday morning.

"I agree with the teachings of Jesus," Musk commented.
This prompted responses from many Christian politicians and political commentators, many of whom encouraged him to take the next step in his journey.
BlazeTV's "Fearless" host, Jason Whitlock, wrote: "Thanks for saying this. It's a start."
Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire wrote, "Always a good thing to do! But if one of Jesus' teachings — and a teaching he repeats — is that he is God, what does that imply for our own lives and actions?"
One prominent account backed up Knowles' point, adding, "This is the leap of faith that most people agreeing with Jesus's teaching won't take. It's a metaphysical commitment."
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) offered his encouragement to Musk: "He lives. He loves. He redeems."
"We are all sons and daughters of the King," Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) added.
"Agreement is a short step away from belief, and then faith will follow," Frontier magazine contributor and poet Joseph Massey said.
The original poster, the Art of Purpose, left a comment under Musk's reply that summed up many of the responses well: "Brother you are so close. I'm rooting for you."
While Musk's most recent comment made waves on social media, this is not the first time Musk has suggested that he at least accepts the teachings of Christ.
Musk told Jordan Peterson in a July 2024 interview that he was a "cultural Christian" and that "the teachings of Jesus are good and wise," according to UnHerd.

Michael Knowles explains why he isn't a Christian Zionist
Over the weekend, the Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in Jerusalem released a statement reaffirming their authority in the land of Israel against proponents of Christian Zionism and other "damaging ideologies."
The statement, published on Saturday, reaffirmed Christian leaders' devotion to the Christian flock in the Holy Land. It condemned ideologies like Christian Zionism, which "mislead the public, sow confusion, and harm the unity of our flock."
'You don't have to support the nation-state of Israel, but if you do, you can do so without adhering to the relatively novel theology of Christian Zionism.'
Christian Zionism is the belief in the continuity between the Israel of the Bible and the modern state of Israel.
The church leaders condemned the "political actors" who have been "welcomed at official levels both locally and internationally." They described these dealings as "interference in the internal life of the church."

The letter continued, "These undertakings have found favor among certain political actors in Israel and beyond who seek to push a political agenda which may harm the Christian presence in the Holy Land and the wider Middle East."
As a result, the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem "reiterate that they alone represent the Churches and their flock in matters pertaining to Christian religious, communal, and pastoral life in the Holy Land."
On Monday, the Daily Wire's Michael Knowles explained his position on Christian Zionism in response to the Patriarchs' statement.
Knowles, an outspoken Roman Catholic, explained that the joint statement issued by the Christian leaders over the weekend is essentially a reiteration of church teaching, such as a statement from 1985 from the Vatican.
The Vatican invites Christians to understand the Jews' religious attachment to the land of Israel "without however making their own any particular religious interpretation of this relationship."
Knowles signaled his wholehearted agreement with the next passage of the Vatican's notes, which he said "underscores the point": "The existence of the State of Israel and its political options should be envisaged not in a perspective which is in itself religious, but in their reference to the common principles of international law."
Knowles said that this line of thinking is "why I would not call myself a Zionist, or a Christian Zionist."
He continued, "It's not because I don't like the Jews, and it's not because I don't even support the state of Israel. As I think I've made clear, I am broadly supportive of the nation-state of Israel. But I am broadly supportive of it not because I believe in the principles of Zionism, which makes certain historical claims and religious claims that I just don't think are true."
Knowles also said that he doesn't think that just because a people lived on a plot of land many years ago, it entitles them to the land today. "If that were the case, we would have to turn Mount Rushmore over to the Lakota Sioux. I don't believe any of that."
He finally clarified that most of his support for the nation-state of Israel is negative — that is, he doesn't like the alternatives, referring to other nations in the region like Iran and other Muslim groups. "The current options in the Holy Land are not great."
Staking his position clearly near the end of the clip, Knowles said, "You don't have to support the nation-state of Israel, but if you do, you can do so without adhering to the relatively novel theology of Christian Zionism."

Accountability is the best way to honor Charlie Kirk’s legacy
The nation changed on September 10, 2025. An assassin’s bullet cut short the life of Charlie Kirk while he was speaking on a Utah college campus.
The coward who pulled the trigger chose political violence over debate. Reports indicate the weapon and its ammunition carried “anti-fascist” slogans — a chilling reminder that ideology now drives some Americans to kill.
Do what Charlie did. Do what Christ commands. Love your neighbor. Show grace. Demand justice — but refuse to become the thing you despise.
Charlie Kirk did not deserve to die. The founder of Turning Point USA was murdered for defending what he believed, walking into academia’s den of hostility, and calling students and faculty back to truth. He embodied both the American spirit and, more importantly, Christian faith. Kirk welcomed argument, offered the gospel, and lived it in an age when many Americans are turning away from Christ.
His wife should not be left without her husband, and his children should not be left fatherless. They certainly should not have to endure online mobs mocking and defaming their murdered husband and father. Yet, they do. Teachers, federal employees, even military personnel — people sworn to serve the public — joined in the sick celebration.
An active-duty Army captain called Kirk “a monstrous ghoul.” A Navy petty officer wrote “better luck next time friend.” An Army sergeant piled on. A Fort Bragg elementary school teacher employed by the Department of War branded him “a garbage human.” Most grotesque of all, a War Department supervisor posted that Kirk “got what he deserved,” sneering, “rest in pieces,” and warning that more killings could come for “those who choose to spread hate and division.”
This is not fringe behavior. It is radicalization in plain sight, coming from people in positions of trust. And it has metastasized. On the left-wing social platform BlueSky, users are openly fantasizing about assassinations of Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Andy Ngo, President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Matt Walsh, J.K. Rowling, and more. When hate this brazen circulates unchecked, another attack is not hard to imagine.
Regardless of your opinion of Charlie Kirk — his politics, his faith, or his legacy — the American way of life rests on peaceful discourse and on the Judeo-Christian command to love our neighbor. That foundation is under assault.
But not all the signs are dark: Younger Americans are turning to Christ in increasing numbers. If anything can pull us back from the abyss of political murder, it is the renewal of faith.
Ephesians 4:26-27 admonishes, “In your anger do not sin: do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.” Anger over this atrocity is justified. What we do with that anger will determine whether America chooses vengeance or redemption.

Kirk wanted to be remembered as a man courageous in faith. To honor that, we must follow Christ’s example. Forgive those who dance on his grave. Forgive those who cheer for the next act of political bloodshed. Forgive even the soldiers, sailors, and public servants who lent legitimacy to his assassination with their words.
Forgiveness does not mean forgetting. It does not mean impunity. Without accountability, this poison spreads and more violence follows. But accountability can be Christ-like: firm, just, and free of vengeance.
So to those who read the online bile and feel tempted to answer hate with hate: Turn to prayer. Do what Charlie did. Do what Christ commands. Love your neighbor. Show grace. Demand justice — but refuse to become the thing you despise.
That is how we ensure the assassin’s bullet does not win.
