Hi Ruslan. I hear you and agree with you on so many topics. But really ask to go a little further on these topics and inform yourself a little more. All this book banning in Florida has been in public schools not allowing middle school kids to access pornographic books. Please look up these books. Also banning books that apply CRT into their material which is actually racism. As for the issue with black Americans learning important skills, that actually not just part of the Florida curriculum. This was part of African American AP curriculum nation wide. Black Americans did learn essential skills in life even though through a very horrible process. We might really dislike how it happened and it shouldn’t have happened but it’s the reality and did happen. This AP curriculum wasn’t written by just a bunch of white people. Just ask to please look into it a bit further because it seems like you get most of your news from left wing media sources.
Can you please make these available in australia. Thanks :D
In regards to the book bans. The problem is pushing sexually explicit books being pushed on 3rd graders. Little kids shouldn't be reading graphic gay sex propaganda. It's not about history books.
Totally. The books getting banned in Florida are not just those though. Theres some history things being re framed which I don’t think is right.
@@BlessGodStudiosPlease read my comment above which list the Florida standards in a video. The video shows the black professor who helped with the curriculum. What you are saying is factually incorrect.
@@BlessGodStudios what history things? I have not heard anything about that.
What I was referencing was books that went beyond that. As demonstrated In this article
www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/theres-confusion-over-book-bans-in-florida-schools-heres-why/2023/03
“The Duval County school district in Florida last month removed a book about Afro-Puerto Rican baseball legend Roberto Clemente from library shelves for review.”
“The book was allegedly under review because it contained references to the racism Clemente experienced.”
But this month, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and Manny Diaz, the state education commissioner, blamed districts for overreacting and removing the books, such as the ones about Clemente and another Major League Baseball player, Hank Aaron.
So what’s happening is the local districts ARE pulling books beyond just sexual content. Desantis (who I’ve been a supporter of) is blaming the districts.
Do you think books that reference racism and slavery should be banned. Yes or no?
Like “To Kill a Mockingbird”? They’re banning books throughout the South that discuss the topic of slavery. They’re trying to cleanse a very real and dangerous historical event to not offend those who identify with their slave owning, traitorous, and racist confederates of the past.
I wouldn't call it "banning", when you don't let your children watch or read stuff that is not appropriate for their age or maturity level, you are simply being a wise and responsible adult. Same is true for schools making certain material unavailable for teaching because it would be potentially harmful for children.
What about children reading the Bible unsupervised? They might read the wrong parts in isolation and end up taking the wrong message.
God knows that even the adults do this, especially the Protestants. So why risk the children reading the Bible by themselves, huh?
@@LuiKang043I've never known kids to just read the Bible and they have kid versions
@@brandonwheaton1081 I still have my beloved kid bible!
The inappropriate books are the main talking point while they avoid the push for Unitary Executive Theory. They don’t care about the kids, they use the kids to get more POWER.
But how do you have that debate system where the students hear both sides when you live in a state that doesn't take kindly to accepting any voice that doesn't go with the flow of their agenda? CA doesn't want independent thinkers. They want to build liberal thinkers and keep the stronghold within the state.
That’s fair. We need curriculum that can highlight both perspectives.
MAGA doesn’t want independent thinkers either. And their dear leader has suggested tossing out the constitution. And they have most of the weapons.
Just an important reminder: We are a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC - NOT a democracy. Democracy is not an american value. Republic is different from democracy.
Republic = irrefutable eternal truths that do not change just bc the majority wants them to change. Life, Liberty, The Pursuit of Happiness, Property, Separation of Powers, Independent Judiciaries.
A democracy is this “I want to be able to take away their rights bc I don’t like them”. Democracy ALWAYS leads to tyranny. THAT’S what they don’t teach you in school anymore & need to start doing again. The 2 are totally different.
We MUST defend the CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC & eliminate this democracy narrative’s involvement involving our country.
Most people today are clueless to this fact . . . sadly because we're long past operating as such.
@@Headbusssa48 so you don't think we should be able to vote at all ? Because a country with legitimate voting is a democracy. The US isn't a PURE democracy, but a form of democracy.
The constitution makes it a democratic republic
That’s still a contradiction though.
@@michah321 wrong! We are not a form of democracy, we just use some democratic ways such as voting, but doesn’t mean we are a form of democracy. But in all honesty I don’t believe everyone should be able to vote. Voting is a privilege and not a right.
Agenda 47 and President Trump's RNC Platform are the only policies endorsed by President Trump for a second term," said Republican National Committee
I like democracy, if Project 2025 goes against it or provides an unfair advantage to 1 party than I don't like Project 2025.
Pretty sure it's available online. I haven't looked, but I wouldn't trust any media source's take on it. They lie about everything.
Trump doesn't support it, he isn't giving it air time. it was a group idea what they want to do. and only the opposing side is validating it.
You do realize that there was a version of 2025 that went into place for the democrats after 2008. This is not unconstitutional in fact it was standard before ww2 that presidents would fire bureaucracy put in place by the previous administration, it's only after that that the bureaucracy became so big it was difficult to replace everyone. The democrats had a plan in place after GW to replace the bureaucracy with their own guys, Trump in his first term left many Obama era folks in place.
You live in a Republic
@@bradyoung1658the two are not mutually exclusive
Just some added thoughts. In terms of project 2025, I would ask the guest in the video played, how many former Trump administration members are part of project 2025. It’s a high number. I know not everything that has been claimed about 2025 is correct but the underlying concern is that it centralizes power in the executive branch removing the checks and balances. I would look for those things. For example, it calls for moving the DOJ under the control of the executive branch, removing its ability to check the executive branch. Also, the idea of private schools would be for only those that could afford it. Low-income families would not have those choices.
@@zachv Of course he did. Its a rising issue in the polls. In a recent rally he announced that he is bringing back one of the guys who is a part of 2025. The fact he bothered to say anything about it just shows how its a rising issue of concern.
@@zachv Like minded people he chose before are part of the program. Greater chance he embraces it. You know he would not pass up additional power.
what the heck do you think the DOJ already does? its already in cohoots with the executive branch in the case of biden, and in the case of trump, are unelected leftist beaurcrats trying to obstruct the president from helping the american people removing power from a bunch of unelected buareacrats to under the authority of an elected president is restoring balance of powers.
and there would be school choice. your taxdollars will follow you. the whole point of private schools is to escape the problems of government run schools.
Absolutely. Also JD Vance isn't just echoing their ideas. He's been a spokesperson at their events, the head of it has called him a close friend of the organization and said they were hoping for his nomination as a means to implementation.
The DOJ is not a separate branch of the government. The DOJ is attached to the executive branch. The courts are separate. All the alphabet agencies are under the executive branch.
How can you have 9 year olds decide if they should have trans education books in there schools/classes? Lets be honest the banning of books was mainly about this very topic.
I’ve been consistent against explicit sexual books. For years. What I was referencing was books that went beyond that. As demonstrated In this article

Now please apologize for these goofy comments and insulting our intelligence. I’ll wait.
@@BlessGodStudios It might have been best to check multiple sources, because this issue was settled and the books were back on the shelves a month before this article was published according to a Feb 2023 article on Axios. The books weren’t being banned, they along with many other books were pulled pending a review in accordance with the new law that was passed. They were reviewed and returned. DeSantis was right, they were making it into a bigger deal than it actually was. We need to remember that information is only as good as its source, and apparently that source was bad.
Im pretty sure trump denounced project 2025
He did
Yes he did.
That doesn’t really mean much considering how many people in his administration are still connected to it.
@@chibu3212How do you even know many people are connected to it? Do they work from that think tank? lol
@@chibu3212 blatantly saying this is his plan is pretty disingenuous, just seems like pure hatred for him at this point.
If you have chartered or private schools, how will poor people afford to send their children there? Also, how are poor parents make it on the school boards and be about of the discussion on what they also want their children to learn?
Your tax money goes where you choose and will go towards all kids tuition still
If you want to see what an actually equitable school voucher program looks like that brings about social mobility to working class ppl see Washington, DC’s Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP) model.
DC’s OSP was created to supplement public schools not to replace it like the GOP in Red States do. Public schools need more funding + rules but ppl like privet bc of their anti-bullying initiatives.
A Liberal/Progressive city like Washington, D.C. (serving as a pilot program brought about by Congressional Republicans at the federal level with the support of DC Democrats at the local level) also has a School Choice / School Voucher / Opportunity Scholarship Programs for Low and Lower-Middle Income families to send their kids to private schools and this program applies to both religious and non-sectarian (secular) schools. This is meant to supplement but not replace public schools, unlike many of the vocal far-right Republicans in other parts of the country that support school vouchers and charter schools as a way to slowly faze out/wean off (all/major) government funding for free (a.k.a. all-expenses-included-in-taxes) PreK-12 education in the United States which will eventually lead to far worse results like huge disparities in educational opportunities.
I know that Evangelical churches don’t usually have old money type vast financial wealth like the Catholic Church (and the Mainline Protestant churches) do, but I really wish Evangelical communities can invest a lot of money and effort into opening up more private Christian schools with lower cost tuition/needs-based scholarships in order to make the price manageable for Low and Lower-Middle Income families just like the Catholics do in my area. I, as an Evangelical Christian who has gone to private Catholic Christian schools, have benefited from a combination of funding to the school from our region’s local Catholic archdiocese and our city’s school choice/school voucher program both of which were earmarked for students from low to lower-middle income families - while the Evangelical schools in the suburbs had higher tuitions and more upper-middle class/middle-middle class students because they don’t have enough money to subsidize low/lower-middle income students and the theologically liberal Mainline Protestant schools/most non-sectarian secular private schools were basically country club-type schools for the children of very affluent/wealthy socialites, politicians, and celebrities although it’s true that some (but not all) of the Catholic schools (at least in my area) looked like this as well.
@leullakew9579 how many propaganda points are you gonna use in that book of a statement? Public School Systems are HIGHLY Funded. Especially in lowercase neighborhoods. The problem isn't funding, it's poor leadership, theft of educational funds and lack of accountability. PERIOD. As parents, We want School of Choice, not Public indoctrination facilities.
I thought charter schools were tuition free. The funds should follow the student so they can attend a better school if their parent chooses to.
Taking sickeningly graphic cornographic gender ideological books out of elementary and middle schools is goofy? Really? Cause that's what most of us are talking about. Seriously. Look into it.
And as for the bit about slaves learning skills, can't remember the name of the guy, but it was actually written by a black historian. His intent in what he wrote was not that "slavery taught skills so slavery actually beneficial". It was pointing out the resilience of freed slaves in using their skills to make a life for themselves and their families once they were free.
Was it Bob Woodson? He's done a lot of work in these areas.
Yes but banning books outside of schools is ridiculous.

@@BlessGodStudios Thanks for the link to the article. I've read it and tried to look into the examples you gave.
You are right, you have discussed explict books in other videos. I thought I had seen some of those which is why it confused me that you would call removing books "goofy" when clearly some books should probably removed.
Not trying to pick a fight brother. Just want to clarify a few things. Hope to provide some further thoughts later but I have to go now.
That’s what they want you talking about. Kind of like all those bills that get through congress. They focus on one or two issues while obfuscating the issues they don’t want people talking about. It’s all a quest for power and money.
You all had some good points Brother Ruslan, But I just wanted to correct one thing you all said. the Slavery job skills Florida comment is a talking point that Democrats used. I live in Florida, and the scholars who wrote the bill, one of them being Dr. William Allen a Black brilliant Professor, talked about how the skills reference came from people like Frederick Douglas etc.. who lived during Slavery.. I just wanted to let you all know, because the Bill was perfectly fine, we can ask the multiple Black scholars who were apart of drafting it. God Bless
So because some is a 'Black brilliant scholar' they can't spout nonsense? Academicians and intellectuals often overstep due to attempting to take things to their logical conclusion (I say that as one myself). Doesn't make it right.
Do these people talking about how bad project 2025 is know that we have the constitution and all the bad things they talk about would be impossible to implement
JD Vance saying to fire everyone and replace them with party loyalists, then when you are rightfully told by the courts that this is il legal to respond to the courts with what is essentially "Try and stop me", is an absolutely terrible idea and one we should all be afraid of. There is merit to some of the criticisms here.
The Supreme Court just gave the President absolute immunity for official acts without really defining what “official” acts actually mean. The court doesn’t care about the constitution anymore. They are actively overturning things that past courts said were constitutional. I wouldn’t bet on the courts stopping these people from implementing project 2025.
Not with the crooked SCOTUS, under their tyrannical rule, anything is possible. That's why its so scary.
I'm not sure how interested either side is in open discussion of various topics in the school setting, cause both sides have increasingly become echo chambers, but currently, I don't see conservative leadership adopting such an open minded approach to learning. They've increasingly become closed-minded with recent policies
Any book that is "banned" can still be got from the public library, amazon, Barnes and noble, etc. Pretty weak ban if you ask me. This is about not letting kids have porn in the school library, or books teaching children a Marxist framed version of American History. I have a very liberal friend that used Howard Zinn in her 5th grade classroom, that's insane. That book has been debunked so many times and yet its taught in classrooms across America. Your commentary seems to reflect only a surface knowledge of the legislation in question.

Kevin Roberts is the same guy that said on video that we’re in the middle of the second American Revolution, and it will remain bloodless if the left allows. Much different than what was depicted in the clips shown. I’m curious if you guys saw that clip. Also, there’s a video of Trump speaking at a Heritage event in 2022 where he says that Heritage is working on a plan that he would roll out when given the mandate in a second term. Project 2025 is exactly what he was talking about. That’s on video as well. So, both of these videos are available for your review. The Supreme Court is very conservative and the do nothing house is also led by conservatives. How is the country taken over by liberals? The SC is corrupt, and there are many questions about the dealings of two of them. Are you concerned about that?
Trump already plans to implement Project 2025. Only people who want to be fooled by his distancing himself are because they don’t want to see it. The negative press is the only reason Trump won’t align with it openly now. 140 of Trump’s administration officials wrote that plan. Stop playing in our faces please. The guy who wrote the plan is not going to frame it negatively, and that’s what you’ve presented as “proof” that it’s not going to be bad for America. The Supreme Court has already given Trump immunity to do whatever he wants, and if you actually listen to that guy when he speaks, the things he says should scare you.
Yall gonna skip over the part where they’ve had this plan in some form since the Reagan era?!
People on high alert like this was something custom crafted for trump…
I think we touched on that towards the end of
Yet Dumps name is mentioned 300+ times. Please, use the search function and go read it yourself. 900 page pdf available on the Heritage Foundation website. P2025 has been a slow March towards authoritarian fascism since the 80s.
Everyone should be alarmed if you're not, you've been rocked to sleep. Especially in light of Dump having the SCOTUS in his back pocket. You should be very afraid.
Singapore is funding training up to graduate degrees for mid-career professionals and in the US people are discussing how to dismantle the public school system. Which do you think will produce a workforce equipped for well paying jobs in the future?
Regarding Project 2025, it sounds like it gives way too much power to the president. Everything else about it is good, at least from a traditional Christian standpoint.
Please....don't let that one aspect cloud your judgement. It is not good.

Hello Ruslan. I just wanted to say that I really like your content it is very entertaining. My name is Oma I live in Malawi. If it is OK with you I would like to ask for a favour. Please can you pray for me. Particularly this: ever since I have been a professing Christian it has been hard to find other kids my age who are saved. I am a 15 year old boy and have been failing to find Christians my age who I can fellowship with so I wanted to ask if you could pray that I find people to fellowship with. Thank you
Have you tried church? I mean idk sounds obvious but I find it hard to believe there's no young people there.
Praying for you
TikTok dances are banned under Project 2025
We also need to be able to zoom out and look at this beyond just the current culture war, especially when we are talking about what the future of democracy looks like.
my understanding is that the books aren't banned as a whole, it's to be removed from schools. Not public libraries, etc. just the schools
This whole thing is crazy. No one can see their delusional thoughts.
As an educator I love what you proposed and welcome it. However I want to say that not all adults who work at schools are mature enough to have coworkers with different views. We are already on a teacher shortage and trying to find those with enough emotional intelligence to make the school environment positive for students would be a hard task. I am also a pastor and intentionally choose to send my kids to public schools though so we can have honest discussions about reality. I think more parents should take ownership in this area like you do. Thanks for the video.
Reasonable conversation. But Project 2025 doesn’t seem “center right” or reasonable at all.
Removing/not teaching books in schools is not banning books. Look at the books they removed in Florida, these arent controversial they are straight up propaganda and occasionally pron
The United States is a constitutional republic, which means that it has a system of government in which officials are elected by the people to represent their interests, and the powers of the government are defined and limited by a constitution. This is different from a pure democracy, where the majority has unlimited power and decisions are made directly by the people without representatives. Let's look at the differences
• Representation: In a constitutional republic, like the United States, citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. In a pure democracy, every citizen would vote directly on every issue.
• Rule of Law: A constitutional republic operates under a constitution that limits the powers of government and ensures certain rights and freedoms for individuals. In a pure democracy, the majority can potentially override these rights.
• Checks and Balances: The U.S. system includes checks and balances between different branches of government (executive, legislative, and judicial) to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. This structure is typically absent in a pure democracy.
• Protection of Minority Rights: In a constitutional republic, the rights of minority groups are protected against the whims of the majority. In a pure democracy, the majority can impose its will without necessarily considering minority rights.
A constitutional republic uses a framework of laws and elected officials to ensure a balanced and fair governance, whereas a pure democracy relies on direct decision-making by the people, which can sometimes lead to the "tyranny of the majority."
Well the United States is a Republic not a democracy.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the USA and to the REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
Doesn't every party change clean house and hire people that aren't opposed to their plans?

That only applies to Political Appointment positions not Civil Service positions.
Gutting the Civil Service and replacing them with Political Appointees means less and less qualified people have access are going to be hired for public sector jobs. Political Appointments are by definition NOT merit-based at all whatsoever, they solely get hired by knowing the president and/or people in the president’s socio-professional circle (being appointed by the president) and being a supporter of their political ideology. The civil service on the other hand is non-partisan, and is (ideally) a meritocracy because it isn’t based on your connection to a specific political party’s leadership but is based on your educational and work experience qualifications (that’s the closest we can get to a meritocracy because a meritocracy does not exist in the United States, we only have a quasi-meritocracy/semi-meritocracy, due to a lack in equity, lack of equal access to quality education, and a lack of standardized hiring practices at the previous Early-Career Private Sector and/or Local Government positions many underserved communities and working class people have worked in prior to applying for federal public sector jobs which further leads to a lack of accese to positions they qualify for because of discrimination). In effect it will replace them with Party Loyalist Political Appointees who’ll almost entirely be mostly less geographically, racially, socio-economically, ideologically, politically, and demographically diverse, and will have more people of well-connected upper-middle class to upper-class backgrounds than the current government already if the Civil Service is Scrapped.
That's not a revolutionary educational perspective. That's classical education, and it's wonderful!

DoE being dismantled would be incredible! After being a classroom teacher for decades, I would LOVE to have more power to make decisions about my classroom.

I appreciate you talking about politics. There is a lot I don’t know or understand so your talks help me get information and understand
In a republic, laws are made by representatives chosen by the people and must comply with a constitution that protects the rights of the minority from the will of the majority. On the other hand, in a democracy, laws are made directly by the voting majority, leaving the rights of the minority largely unprotected.

@@BlessGodStudios you said "I'm against banning books". Freedom of speech only works in a moral population. We no longer have that.
You are against sexually explicit material, does that just mean u don't like it but want anyone to be able to sell/buy it? If a book contains sexually explicit material, and you are truly against it, it should be disincentivized under your worldview i.e. banning.
If you are going to say conflicting things, maybe take 10-20 seconds to talk about it in the video rather than posting dissertations in comment threads, silly city boy. What you are referencing is over-reaching. Not bad policy
We’ve made dozens of books about sexual books needing to be out of schools.
I’m against all porn. Yes it should be all banned.
My position has been clear about this. Perhaps you aren’t familiar.
Clearly this conversation was about historical books. That yes, policy intended to do good can be over reaching. Perhaps the policy should have been more clear.
Ruslan does YTs Demonetization have muting out Trumps name? Get your money but That’s crazy work😅
This is going to be the same as the wall that was going to be built but ended up not even halfway finished
I'm not gonna lie to you... There's not enough class time or time in the year to do all this😂😂
Unfortunately, I don't think you did your homework on the "book ban" issue. Before offering a solution, you need to investigate the situation and learn more about it.
Unfortunately I think you didn’t look up what we were referencing regarding some of the books being banned in Florida.
Isn't there quite a few types of democracy and Actually more than one way to govern our democratic constitutional republic that is STILL 100% Constitutionally legal?
Nobody is banning books in general. They are banning some books from schools.
You think these books should be banned. Yes or No?

“The Duval County school district in Florida last month removed a book about Afro-Puerto Rican baseball legend Roberto Clemente from library shelves for review.”
“The book was allegedly under review because it contained references to the racism Clemente experienced.”
But this month, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and Manny Diaz, the state education commissioner, blamed districts for overreacting and removing the books, such as the ones about Clemente and another Major League Baseball player, Hank Aaron.
So what’s happening is the local districts ARE pulling books beyond just sexual content. Desantis (who I’ve been a supporter of) is blaming the districts.
@BlessGodStudios so they are correct right? It says school district.
School districts abusing the system.
Instead of banning, how about we just teach them?.. we already be teaching evolution not as a theory but as a science now.. even tho it's the evolution THEORY. Just teach them the truths and show then history of how communism hasn't worked and how if you follow these or those theologies, you are prone to depressive thoughts and to such and such.. yk?
The original idea of the university was to allow for the free interchange of ideas not indoctrination of a particular viewpoint
This is absurd and creates a lot of drama. Trump never even endorsed this. Please stop with the propaganda.
No he has just endorsed the people who wrote project 2025
@lisalandstreet7827 evidence? I have read news where he dismissed the idea as ridiculous.
Do your own research. The list of writers and contributors is right at the beginning of the 900 page pdf on the Heritage Foundations website. @@None-if3mo

We’re pioneering the next era of education. Almost all of it is Socratic method! No “teachers” only “guides” who are game makers who create highly engaging environments where learners are constantly in an active state of learning
I think Ruslan may be on to something however I’d say add not only left or right view on history maybe try to fit a third and then maybe if we learn from threes we can beat the dual party system also
This just reminds me of y2k hype. People need to calm down.
At 13 min the discussion about what children should learn they are not talking about the parents. Who knows the child best - the parents
They didn’t just say slaves learned valuable skills, like that was an excuse for slavery. You actually can yell fire in a theater and not go to jail. That example has a history, look it up. I wouldn’t do that, but it’s a bad example. No books are banned. Any adult can buy any book. It’s just in schools. Read more books, make fewer videos. Know what you’re talking about. Kids are also dumb. Unfortunately at some point the adults choose what kids hear.
He's trying to be the Tim Pool of Christian commentary. Ruslan also still has a bias against conservatives. He said the other day he liked Vivek over DeSantis, that says it all.
I’m not sure if you guys are being intentionally disingenuous but I’ve been consistent against explicit sexual books. For years. What I was referencing was books that went beyond that. As demonstrated In this article

Now please apologize for these goofy comments and insulting our intelligence. I’ll wait.
See you all in November. Can’t wait to dance to the polls and usher in Harris2024
Great video, good common sense stuff. But... I would've liked more details & discussion on Project 2025, especially since the title intimated that it would.
All races have been oppressed by other races and their own.
Have you thought about going on the PBD podcast? I think that would be cool!
Its only non-sense to Non-Pocs!!!
If you want to see what an actually equitable school voucher program looks like that brings about social mobility to working class ppl see Washington, DC’s Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP) model.
DC’s OSP was created to supplement public schools not to replace it like the GOP in Red States do. Public schools need more funding + rules but ppl like privet bc of their anti-bullying initiatives.
A Liberal/Progressive city like Washington, D.C. (serving as a pilot program brought about by Congressional Republicans at the federal level with the support of DC Democrats at the local level) also has a School Choice / School Voucher / Opportunity Scholarship Programs for Low and Lower-Middle Income families to send their kids to private schools and this program applies to both religious and non-sectarian (secular) schools. This is meant to supplement but not replace public schools, unlike many of the vocal far-right Republicans in other parts of the country that support school vouchers and charter schools as a way to slowly faze out/wean off (all/major) government funding for free (a.k.a. all-expenses-included-in-taxes) PreK-12 education in the United States which will eventually lead to far worse results like huge disparities in educational opportunities.
I know that Evangelical churches don’t usually have old money type vast financial wealth like the Catholic Church (and the Mainline Protestant churches) do, but I really wish Evangelical communities can invest a lot of money and effort into opening up more private Christian schools with lower cost tuition/needs-based scholarships in order to make the price manageable for Low and Lower-Middle Income families just like the Catholics do in my area. I, as an Evangelical Christian who has gone to private Catholic Christian schools, have benefited from a combination of funding to the school from our region’s local Catholic archdiocese and our city’s school choice/school voucher program both of which were earmarked for students from low to lower-middle income families - while the Evangelical schools in the suburbs had higher tuitions and more upper-middle class/middle-middle class students because they don’t have enough money to subsidize low/lower-middle income students and the theologically liberal Mainline Protestant schools/most non-sectarian secular private schools were basically country club-type schools for the children of very affluent/wealthy socialites, politicians, and celebrities although it’s true that some (but not all) of the Catholic schools (at least in my area) looked like this as well.
You should have Delano on to talk about it!
Could someone explain why freedom of religion is good in the way of idolatry religions
Why are we giving a think tank strategy so much air? Trump has his own think tank, which isn’t the heritage foundation.
They are banning sexually explicit books in school ruslan.
Are you sure that’s all they’re banning? Because that’s not what’s happening in Florida. Jordan Peterson even confronted Chris Rufo on his pod about a year ago.
@@BlessGodStudiosThere’s bound to be a few mistakes. After all it seems like morally speaking, legislation has been walking backwards for years, I expect some stumbling when it begins to actually walk forward. I do not believe these “mistakes” mean condemning the entire effort and I believe this is where some are misunderstanding your position.
Totally, I didn’t condemn the effort. I’ve been pro banning sexual books (as most sensible people are) for years. But this over correction is unhelpful and tries to paint America with rose color lenses. Don’t think that’s helpful. We must be truth tellers.
Magical Mystery Church makes a big deal over project 2025. I don’t know if you want to look at her stuff.
How many people didn't know that we are not a democracy but a Constitutional Republic? How many people know that we've never, and God willing will never be a democracy? Does anyone know the difference between the two? I wonder..
That’s semantics. We’re still popular vote. Locally and state wide.
@@BlessGodStudios Semantics? How is saying that a pure democracy is different from our Constitutional Republic semantics? Let's break this down.
The United States is a constitutional republic, which means that it has a system of government in which officials are elected by the people to represent their interests, and the powers of the government are defined and limited by a constitution. This is different from a pure democracy, where the majority has unlimited power and decisions are made directly by the people without representatives. Let's look at the differences
• Representation: In a constitutional republic, like the United States, citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. In a pure democracy, every citizen would vote directly on every issue.
• Rule of Law: A constitutional republic operates under a constitution that limits the powers of government and ensures certain rights and freedoms for individuals. In a pure democracy, the majority can potentially override these rights.
• Checks and Balances: The U.S. system includes checks and balances between different branches of government (executive, legislative, and judicial) to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. This structure is typically absent in a pure democracy.
• Protection of Minority Rights: In a constitutional republic, the rights of minority groups are protected against the whims of the majority. In a pure democracy, the majority can impose its will without necessarily considering minority rights.
A constitutional republic uses a framework of laws and elected officials to ensure a balanced and fair governance, whereas a pure democracy relies on direct decision-making by the people, which can sometimes lead to the "tyranny of the majority."
The fact that you said this is "semantics" is pretty concerning tbh..
We’re a functional democracy. Especially on the state and local level (popular votes)
The electoral college wasn’t designed in case people vote wrong 😂
It was because smaller states wanted more representation.
@@BlessGodStudios I don't think you understand the point I'm making, but I get where you're coming from. We have to clarify the distinction between a democracy and a constitutional republic for those who repeatedly talk about "democracy" in the United States.. The United States is a constitutional republic, which means we have a system of government where officials are elected by the people, but the rule of law and the Constitution guide governance and protect individual rights.
It may be true that on state and local levels, we see direct democratic processes through popular votes, the overall structure of our federal government operates as a constitutional republic. This system is designed to balance the interests of both the majority and minority, ensuring that no single group can dominate and this is the glaring difference..
Regarding the Electoral College, it was indeed created partly to balance the influence between smaller and larger states. The Founding Fathers were concerned that direct popular vote could lead to a concentration of power in more populous areas, potentially neglecting the interests of smaller states and rural regions. This system ensures that every state has a proportionate say in the election of the President, thereby maintaining a federal balance.
So, while democratic elements exist within our system, the framework of our government is that of a constitutional republic, designed to safeguard against the potential pitfalls of pure majority rule.. 😉
I hear you. Thanks for clarifying. Yes I didn’t use democracy as in “majority rule”
Who are you being paid by or deceived by, brother? Remember to spend plenty of time in the Word, not just for clicks but for your spiritual health and relationship with God. Do not rely on your own understanding nor that of one or two church leaders, and no need to rely on one version either. It's just lazy....IDK which you use but KJV is very modern vs the rest and has a lot of details corrupted. Thanks to God the core messages are there with the different versions (barring perhaps the obvious ones even more modern...). God's Word can be tested by not contradicting the Words of Jesus and YHWH. Don't forget.
Revolutionize teaching? Lol
Bro. This was my public high school education in 2005-2009
Debates and discussions 😅
We just started to get goofy these past 10 years.
I don't understand, what books are banned in florida?
If you say 'Project 2025' quickly 3 times; does it resurect Bidens chance at another term ?
I have a plan and I call it project 3,500 and it has some points that project 2025 has. That does not mean Trump will adopt it specially when he said he was not supporting this. Of course, I am being sarcastic about my project but it has the same relevance 😂
I learned nothing about Project 2025. Thanks.
I’m happy our vice president got pick bc his from Ohio and I’m from Columbus, Ohio
I love you guys but y'all totally misrepresented the "slaves learned valuable skills."
A black historian helped create the program, I cannot remember his name but he was on Megyn Kelly. The point was they were able to take the things they were forced to do before as a slave, and do them to make money for themselves. It's just the truth of the situation. No where in there does that mean, slavery was acceptable.
15:10 Zach man😂😂😂
Yes lead by example. Reply to the last statements
😅let’s go back to the constitution plan
Why you need it?
Aren’t most campus lib?
Ray Rock!
WTH? Teaching oppression only continues to promote oppression simply by calling it out. It also creates the notion of cultural bias. When we teach God's word by teaching, all are created equal, are loved, and valued. When putting focus on an issue teaches and continues manipulating the minds of others. Shame on you.
It is easy, stop draging history in to politics.
This is Not Trumps platform
Trump didn’t start this project. Y’all are too naive
You should consider moving away from america
This why I’m voting Democrat this time. Some years I vote republican and some years Democrat
First Of All It's A REPUBLIC. 🥱👌🏽🇺🇸✝️🔥
