“(Christians) are called to help others but not to enable irresponsibility. True kindness is rooted in wisdom, true love operates within boundaries, and true discernment allows you to see beyond words and into the intentions of the heart. Many people have been led astray because they lack discernment and follow charismatic leaders who spoke eloquently but led them away from the truth.” Billy Graham

The challenging news is that God looks beyond the exterior and sees the true essence of a person, which is their heart and intentions (e.g. A true Christian should make an effort to understand the challenges of the needy; e.g. Zelenskyy and Ukrainians, immigrants, the vulnerable). Your behavior should reflect your claimed faith.

THE DREAM TEAM: “STALIN, ROOSEVELT, CHURCHILL”
In World War II, the three great Allied powers—Great Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union—formed a Grand Alliance that was the key to victory. But the alliance partners did not share common political aims, and did not always agree on how the war should be fought.

“TWITTER HOSTILE TAKEOVER”: USAID IS *NOT* A PRIVATE COMPANY
“Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter: Musk made an unsolicited offer to buy the company at a high price, essentially forcing the board to accept his bid and take Twitter private despite initial resistance from the company. It was considered a “hostile takeover” strategy. This occurred in April 2022, with Musk ultimately buying Twitter for around $44 billion.”

“Despite the name, DOGE is not a federal executive department, the creation of which would require the approval of the Congress.” Additionally, “Donald Trump is setting up cryptocurrency for himself and his wife … Lots of conflict of interest with Trump setting himself and his wife cryptocurrencies that people are putting billions of dollars into. None of this is normal. None of this is leading by example“, said Bremmer (Ian Bremmer, American Political Scientist and Author and The Intercept 1/28/2025).

This House believes that our only hope lies in our positive endeavors to make amends and our decision to act rightly in the future. In an appreciation of cultural tolerance and diversity, one doesn’t have to operate with great malice or become a Christian to live in the U.S. (e.g. you-do-you) but, in general, “when in Rome (in a Christian Country) do as the Romans do” or, at least, “respect them”. Or one may choose to live in another Country that is more aligned with his/her values–Countries where Christianity is “restricted” but ancestral rituals and other religions may be practiced (*Footnote*: Cults like, The Jim Jones Cult, and the use of hallucinogens, for example, can potentially bring people into the state(s) of psychosis, delusion, and moral decay).
THE UPSIDE-DOWN CROSS–A PERSPECTIVE
(Elon Musk’s Outfit/Halloween 2022: Baphomet Costume, Upside-Down Cross)
The public display of controversial symbols can be understood as a way of marketing “superstitious beliefs” for questionable purposes, typically involving the defense of sexual promiscuity (fortuitous attack on family values), profanity, and the so-called maledictions or imprecations. This House believes that “family” is, indeed, a sacred institution and that the world would be a better/happier place if children were raised by both parents (e.g. especially in poor countries like Brazil or India where the number of “Street Children”/Single-parent family is staggering). Is the display of an upside-down cross disrespectful, especially in a Christian Country? (U.S. 224 million Christians. Source: Gallup). No religious zealots here, but it is often considered as an anti-Christian symbol--If one is not a Christian (e.g. you-do-you), it begs the question, what are some of the principles that the ‘upside-down cross people’, live by, exactly? And certainly, some denizens of popular culture have used it in films, music videos, and stage costumes to represent ‘occult symbols’–usually, with a negative connotation.
PETER THIEL: ENTREPRENEUR, INNOVATOR
“Zero to One is one of the definitive books on building and investing in startups. It’s written by Peter Thiel, the founder of PayPal and Palantir, who built a team that has gone on to start companies like SpaceX, Tesla, LinkedIn, YouTube, Yelp, and Yammer.”
“Party Like It’s 1999″
“After the dot-com crash, entrepreneurs learned four main lessons for building startups, which has shaped general thinking in the startup world. However, Thiel believes these are largely incorrect, and that the opposite principles are actually true.”

“A highly decorated Army soldier (Green Beret) who fatally shot himself in a Tesla Cybertruck just before it blew up outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas left notes saying the New Year’s Day explosion was a stunt to serve as a “wake up call” for the Country’s ills, investigators said Friday.” (A Green Beret is a member of the U.S. Army Special Forces, an elite military unit that specializes in unconventional warfare)
“Today, January 1st, 2025, at approximately 3:15 a.m. CST, an individual drove a pickup truck into a crowd of people on Bourbon Street in NEW ORLEANS, killing at least 10 and injuring dozens of others. After hitting the crowd, he exited the vehicle and fired upon local law enforcement. Law enforcement returned fire, and the subject was pronounced deceased at the scene. The subject has been identified as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen from Texas. He was driving a Ford pickup truck, which appears to have been rented, and we are working to confirm how the subject came into possession of the vehicle. An ISIS flag was located in the vehicle, and the FBI is working to determine the subject’s potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organization. Weapons and a potential IED were located in the subject’s vehicle (IED: Improvised Explosive Device).”
