Who were the Christian pastors that went to Israel last week, pledging to become Ambassadors for Israel in their home congregations? A list of the participating churches was crowdsourced and published by a popular X user, GenXGirl. Why does this matter? Because these spiritual leaders signed a pledge to support the government of Israel through their teachings. That is against the bible they claim to follow. The Christian Bible does not allow for allegiance to world governments. It’s not too much to ask that a pastor adhere to the scripture they preach. The participating pastors were largely from the Southwest and represented evangelicals, Methodists, Baptists, and non-denominational churches. Noticeably absent from this list are Catholics and Orthodox churches, whose doctrines do not teach that modern Israel fulfills prophecy or that Jews must return to a homeland for the Messiah to come. Shouldn’t the pastors who participated register as foreign agents now? Well, they don’t have to, because the Department of Justice under President Trump doesn’t seem interested in enforcing foreign-agent rules. Watch reporting of this move. Will there be backlash from Christians who want their pastors to be spiritual leaders and not political operatives? Who knows. If there isn’t, Israel plans to recruit 10,000 more pastors to do this again in the new year.

The House of Representatives passed a military budget worth a whopping $901 billion. That is mind boggling! It is nearly $200 billion more than it was just five years ago. The bill not only slaps the American public with more debt, it also prevents the Trump administration from withdrawing troops from Europe or South Korea. Think about that! The Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war, not to wage it, and certainly not to prevent a President from ending it. Yet this bill effectively blocks the Commander in Chief from withdrawing troops from ongoing military commitments. The budget also includes $400 million for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which the Trump administration did not ask for. In fact, the sum total is $8 billion more than the Trump administration asked for but this happens most years. The President suggests a military budget and Congress adds to it because, why the heck not? The bill will offer a 3.8% raise for military personnel, which is good, but Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said over the weekend that he wanted the Trump administration to be remembered for its “great military build up” so undoubtedly this payroll is about to balloon. The revised bill now goes back to the Senate for a vote before heading to President Trump’s desk. Both of them will pass it and we are all the worse for it because of the skyrocketing debt and endless conflicts that this will enable. It wasn’t always like this. We once had leaders who understood what reckless government spending does to working people. Here is my favorite quote from a President from the past. May we find a leader like him again before it is too late. The post The Pentagon Gets $901 Billion. You Get the Bill. appeared first on Redacted.

Power lines zig-zag across North America, strung between towers that rise 100 feet or more into the sky. Beneath lie vast swaths of often barren land up to 100 feet wide and stretching for hundreds of miles.    “I think that there’s an incredible opportunity to use these really large tracts of land that cross our landscapes for good,” says Eliza Meyer, program administrator for the Right-of-Way Stewardship Council (ROWSC). Founded in 2013, ROWSC provides accreditation to power companies that work to improve the biodiversity of the land along utility corridors (under power lines or above pipelines). That’s easier said than done. In order to protect power lines and give access to utility crews to maintain the grid and the electrical power we rely on, the land may well be bulldozed and have herbicide applied to it to clear the right-of-way (ROW) of vegetation.
