Okay I (as an Anglican Christian Minister) just want to reiterate on this Huckabee nonsense:

This Christian Zionism is NOT a part of ANY historic Christian branch/church.

• Roman Catholicism did not believe this.
• Eastern Orthodoxy did not believe this.
• The Magisterial Reformation churches (Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican) did not believe this.
• The “radical” reformation churches did not believe this.
• The 2,000 old middle eastern churches (Syrian, Coptic, Maronite, etc) did not believe this.

Huckabee’s Christian Zionism is a radical and demonstrably false interpretative tradition that’s about 150 years old.

So, not that it helps the bitter pill go down too much easier, please know:

If anyone you know subscribes to this view of the modern state of Israel, they’re violating almost all of Christian theological history.

Not to mention simple morality and common sense. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Claude made this and it feels important to share. Maybe we should be fighting against slavery... because the 13th never abolished it.

Assessment Period: 2014–2025 | Published: February 2026
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CoreCivic, Inc. — formerly the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) — is the second-largest private prison operator in the United States and the nation's largest owner of for-profit correctional and immigration detention facilities. As of 2024, the Brentwood, Tennessee-based company reported revenues of $2 billion and a net income of $68.9 million. It operates approximately 70 facilities holding tens of thousands of incarcerated people under contracts with federal agencies including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), as well as numerous state and county governments.

This report documents a sustained and systemic record of human rights violations at CoreCivic-operated ...

Saagar called a Chinese-American Olympian playing for China “a traitor” but I think that bad take is superceded by his older good take: “Traitor” and “treason” has an actual legal meaning. Ambassador Huckabee has no regrets meeting with a literal traitor named Jonathan Pollard, who took a US govt paycheck and gave state secrets to Israel. Another example: the president says Marjorie “Traitor” Greene just because she has policy differences with him.
