It’s going to suck being an evangelical even ten years from now because of these idiots. (And before I get attacked: No, I’ve never once voted for Trump or any of them. And before that I was Buddhist and the biggest Obama fan ever. Still am on that last part. Even wrote a short book about him.)

A quick thank you to everyone who's been tuning in to the podcast lately. I'm trying to build a place where we can talk honestly about politics, military affairs, and world events w/o all the outrage and partisan nonsense. It's encouraging to see more people tuning in.

I’d say the quality of food at normal grocery stores (not health food stores) has gotten higher over my lifetime

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Something something “old breed, new breed, not a damn bit of difference as long as it’s the Marine breed.” Looks like the pronoun that matters is “Marine:”

A little Christian encouragement tonight. Maybe someone else needs it, too. If you're not a believer, you're certainly welcome to read along, but I'm not looking to debate my faith. Just sharing something meaningful to me. 😊 #Christianity #Bible #Faith #BiblicalEncouragement #StanRMitchellShow

I remember stating on my podcast six or eight months ago about how as Ukrainian fixed wing aircraft are able to operate more freely near the front lines, we would start to see an increased effect. Drones have obviously played their part, but there is just nothing that compares to 500 pd bombs. 👊❤️🙏

If you're politically independent, tired of partisan talking points, and still believe it's important to understand what's happening in the world... I've got a podcast for you. **The Stan R. Mitchell Show.** You can stay informed without staying angry.

I had no idea PCA had commissioned some sort of study on this, and had I been making a blind guess, would’ve assumed this sort of document had come from PCUSA. It’s a pretty fascinating barometer of our current times.

I’d like to think all voters were outraged by a masked paramilitary grabbing people off the streets, but fuel prices are the nail in the coffin. For the record, immigrants are not poisoning the blood of our country.

Just heard a pollster say it took a one-two punch to put MAGA down. The first one was the Epstein files. And the second one is the new war in Iran. I'm not MAGA, but that seems dead on to me. What do you all think?

There's a lot happening in the world right now, and some of it deserves more than a headline or an angry social media post. This morning's episode is out. Politics, military affairs, and world events — with context, perspective, and a willingness to call things as I see them.

How are things going? Well, when he’s not selling out the Ukrainians to his buddy Vladimir Putin, here’s what he’s doing. You would think after 10 years, he would have a healthcare plan or about a dozen other things he’s promised. 🧐🤷🏻‍♂️ At this point, just keep him busy and distracted. Less damage.

It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve heard this, I always feel hope from it. And as we head into the midterms, and as I work on my podcast for tonight, I maintain my optimism that this country can heal its wounds and pull back together. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.

I’m writing a Western right now, so my mindframe is probably in the wrong place… 🤣🤣 But if the police aren’t going to protect property, then you need like Pinkerton detectives or security services. Just shoot one of these idiots and the rest will leave.

This two-post thread. Who said what to Trump?

Dan Silverman@dmsilverman.bsky.social

I think folks are overlooking this line Trump says Russia is doing little to help Iran vs. what it could do, and he wants to keep it that way He *explicitly* frames the pivot to Russia in terms of the coercive leverage it has over the U.S. re: his failed Iran war. He suggests it’s the top reason!

Stan R. Mitchell reposted

This is a common thread with folks who defend Trump - "He was nice to me, so he can't be that bad." It reflects their intellectual simplicity because they are so consumed with proximity to power that they don't care how the powerful person treats others. It is a sign of serious personal insecurity

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

Now it’s @stephenasmith’s turn to talk about how nice Trump was to him personally at his dinner with Trump, Kid Rock, and Bill Maher— as if it does anything but sanewash Trump’s fascism and expose Smith for being selfish, naive, and easily fooled Actions >> words

This seems like a pretty convincing argument about Hegseth. And also a bold prediction for the coming years.

Jake Broe@realjakebroe.bsky.social

More than likely Pete Hegseth cutoff intelligence sharing and Starlink/Starshield access to Ukraine. Pete Hegseth is a f**king war criminal.
