Happy birthday, Jesus!

"He is the beginning, THE FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD, that in everything he might be preeminent."

"I try never to speak about a country, even in passing, unless I've at least been there."
-Douglas Murray on the Joe Rogan Podcast

"I try never to allow my tax money to be sent to a foreign land unless I have at least been there."
-Me on my couch

Some people defend their home with just a gun, but that's too isolationist. If someone attacks your home that is inexcusable, so you have to attack the bad guys before they attack you.

However, you won't know who is attacking you if you are isolated at home. You need to set up deer stands all around town and hire about a hundred armed guards to make sure no one is starting to attack you. Make sure you have the most guards where bad people live.

But how will I know who the bad guys are? Easy! They are the ones who say stuff like, "Get out of my lawn with that gun!" Even after you give $100 to a bad guy and tell them to shut up, they will say, "No. What gives you the right to come onto my property."

Some will say those are reasonable things for the bad guys to say. However, that's what the bad guys want you to think. They'll show their true colors by attacking the deer stands and the guards that you paid for with your own money. Then you'll see how important it is for you to have your guards in the community. Everything would be chaos without your courageous leadership.

Be prepared though, your wife and kids might ask, "Why are you wasting money on this?" "Why are you so aggressive towards our neighbors?" "Why don't you sell some deer stands and fix a couple things around the house?" If that happens, you know they are secretly working for the bad guys. Watch your back.

And, of course, this is pretty much the current state of US foreign policy.

My prediction: Trump wins tonight and/or Harris wins in two weeks.

I'm just saying that voting for statists is one strategy that people like to take to feel like they're doing good to their neighbor. It's not obeying Christ's command. It's hoping that a politician will obey Christ's command because their positions are spun to sound a little more caring. (If castrating confused children can be spun to sound caring, anything can be.) When in reality, the politician could care less about humans dying in war or in abortions or from lack of affordable energy.

There are other strategies for using your vote to love your neighbor. For instance, knowing that the greatest purveyors of mass death in history are governments, you can try not to give the government more authority. That's power they won't be able to use against your neighbor to their harm.

Either way you vote, you can go and obey Christ's command directly to your neighbor.
