  • Trump is tearing it all down.
    2025/10/23
    Welcome! This is the place for balanced takes on politics and world news — without the anger or hype. I believe we can stay informed and stay hopeful.Every episode wraps up with a few minutes of Biblical encouragement to remind us that faith, peace, and perspective still matter. Learn more. Timestamps:Timestamp: (2:07). This episode isn’t going to seem as balanced as I’d like. So, I start the episode by discussing the claim that “Democrats are providing healthcare for illegals” and name some good things I believe President Trump has done.Timestamp: (16:30). The Party of law and order is dead under Trump.Timestamp: (18:37). Let’s talk about the “No kings protest,” and how President Trump and his people responded. And how one former Republican so perfectly explained why she participated in the protest herself.Timestamp: (43:52). Russia/Ukraine negotiations completely collapse, after Putin calls Trump before the Zelenskyy meetingTimestamp: (48:55). Donald Trump is suing his own DOJ for $230 million. And his former attorney will make the decision on how much to pay Trump of our taxpayer money — yeah, you read that correctly.Timestamp: (52:47). Trump may be a salesman, but he definitely undersold the construction project happening at the White House.Timestamp: (56:04). Could Trump’s unawareness make him the next President Biden?Timestamp: (58:53). Is there an increasing trend of military uneasiness among the officer ranks?Timestamp: (1:05:06). Let’s end with some Biblical wisdom and spiritual encouragement.Want to help support the mission?

No clapping?NYTimes: “The Pentagon’s senior military leaders had warned the officers not to react or cheer, per the norms of what is supposed to be a nonpartisan military.”I respectfully think the fears are over-hyped. The Trump Administration is losing steam. They’re afraid to even have the House in session or seat a newly elected Congress member.The American people will never give in to a govt that doesn’t respect their voices.Keep the faith and stay engaged. Middle East news:Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, supports Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza. The deal includes releasing all Israeli hostages and more than 200 Palestinians serving life sentences in Israel, as well as the demilitarization of Gaza. Potential holdouts for the plan include Hamas and far-right religious nationalists in Netanyahu’s government.New York Times Editorial: This Terrible War Must EndThe war in Gaza, now approaching its second anniversary, needs to end.It needs to end for the people of Gaza, more than 60,000 of whom — roughly 3 percent of the population — have been killed. The victims include entire families and thousands of children. Neighborhoods have been reduced to rubble. Most Gazans have been displaced from their homes. Starvation and illness haunt the strip.The war needs to end for the nearly 50 Israeli hostages whom Hamas is still holding in Gaza. Those who ...

Elliott Morris noted that as measured by internet searches for “Cancel Disney+,” the boycott against Disney, the parent company of ABC, is now four times as large as any similar search of a boycott over the past five years. Since ABC suspended comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s show—allegedly for his comments about MAGA Republicans’ search for someone to blame, although he frequently skewers Trump and the administration—Disney’s stock has dropped 2% although the market in general is up nearly 1%.Morris observes that “a lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is.” He explains that while polls show Trump is deeply unpopular, many people confuse voters with consumers. That is, while polls frequently measure how voters feel about the president, only about 64.1% of American adults eligible to vote went to the polls in 2024. Figuring that number into Trump’s popularity shows that only about 32% of American adults voted for Trump in 2024, while 53% of adults currently disapprove of his performance in the White House, with 48% strongly opposed.

And to me, this reads like he finally found his escape clause, eight months later. He’s done with the war.The Economist: The Kremlin’s plot to kill NATO’s credibilityThe alliance needs an emphatic response to Russian air incursionsThe alliance, and above all America’s president, now face a moment of truth. Unless the response is immediate and unequivocal, weakness is exactly what Russia will surmise. But now European citizens may fear their borders are not safe. And escalation has already come—from Moscow. If NATO signals timidity, the risk of sleepwalking into a larger war will grow.…The task before Mr Trump is simple. He must find the words that have long failed him and declare that America will uphold its treaty obligations, and defend its allies. Anything less will invite further aggression, not only from Russia but from autocrats elsewhere.But maybe if they start with this, they’ll have the guts to keep extending it further and further into Ukraine? That may just be the optimist in me talking, but it’s a start.Middle East news:News analysis from The New York Times: Netanyahu and an Israel Without RestraintLet’s end with some notes on faithAs you know, if you want true peace, I believe you should look to God and the Bible for that — not a country, not a party, and certainly not an earthly leader, such as our President or the leader of whatever political party you prefer.I believe that not only can God give you ever-lasting life, but that He can also give you peace in this life.

Instead, the US is “going to wage war on narco-terrorist organizations.”“The United States has long, for many, many years, established intelligence that allow us to interdict and stop drug boats. We did that. And it doesn’t work,” Rubio said at a press conference in Mexico City.“What will stop them is when you blow them up, when you get rid of them,” he said, arguing that interdiction doesn’t work because drug cartels plan to lose 2% of their cargo.The top US diplomat said the US had intelligence that the vessel coming from Venezuela, with alleged ties to the criminal organization Tren de Aragua, “was headed towards, eventually, the United States.”“Instead of interdicting it, on the president’s orders, we blew it up.

God is like a good shepherd. He leads you by the still waters. He restores your soul. He guides you out of the death and destruction of sin. If you know nothing about the Bible, but want to test the waters and maybe try it out, check out my resource page here.By the way, if you’re dealing with depression, PTSD, or thoughts of suicide, I have a link I’d like you to check out. It’s an encouraging pep talk that I believe will help. It also has the hotline that you can call, whether you’re a service member or just a civilian. Here’s the link for that page: PTSD. Reminder: If you know nothing about the Bible, but want to read some of it for the first time in a while (or maybe ever), check out my resource page here. I know it’s a big book that can seem overwhelming, but that link can help you. And yes, you can read it from a phone, computer, laptop, etc. (See my link above.)I also have a podcast that focuses solely on faith called The Search for God. You can find it below. Love my moderate, optimistic view of politics and want to know more about how I see things? Go here:I always like to end with an important reminder, whether you’re a Christian or not.
