(28) A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it, And a flattering mouth works ruin. New King James VersionChange email Bible version
Clearly, lying is an act of hatred. It is so bad that it can bring ruin to those it is used against, and like a boomerang, it will return to destroy those who employ it.
Here is a good maxim to live by: Never believe anything bad about a person unless you know it to be absolutely true; never even tell that absolute truth to another unless it is absolutely necessary; and remember when you do tell it, God is listening.
Galatians 6:7-8 contains an important principle: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.” All who believe God must deal with this reality. God cannot be fooled. Neither can God’s law be fooled, just as the law of gravity cannot be fooled. A person cannot treat God or His law with contempt and get away with it. We are accountable to it whether we wish to be or not.
This principle teaches that what a man does to life, life does back to him. It is inescapable. “Do men gather grapes of thornbushes or figs of thistles?” Jesus asks (Matthew 7:16). The hypocrite cannot fool God’s laws, only other people—and himself—for a while. This principle is instructing us not to delude ourselves into thinking that we will somehow escape its power. We must always strive to live the truth, which is a difficult job considering the heart within.
The prophet writes in Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?” The Hebrew word translated deceitful can mean in this context “faithless, insincere, hypocritical, underhanded, false, dishonest, treacherous, sneaky, double-dealing, tricky, cunning, and crafty.” They all apply.
The phrase desperately wicked, which can also be rendered as “perverse” or “incurable,” implies that the heart knows better but does it anyhow. It is addicted to deceit or faithlessness! Who can fathom its treachery or corruptness? We know where this came from! “The prince of the power of the air” is largely responsible for this evil proclivity because his spirit dominates life in this world(Ephesians 2:2; Revelation 12:9). He was a liar from the beginning (John 8:44), deceiving himself into believing that he could overcome his Creator (Isaiah 14:12-14)!
Solomon says in Proverbs 11:9, “The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.” This proverb comforts Christians by reminding us that we have a hedge about us. It also reminds us that, eventually, truth will out. The flipside of this is that the lies, too, will be exposed and with them the condemnation of the liar. Why is this certain? Because there is a God in heaven overseeing His children’s well-being.
When Jo Adell denied Cal Raleigh his first homer of 2026, he was just getting started. He robbed Josh Naylor in the eighth and J.P. Crawford in the ninth to preserve a 1-0 victory.
Baseball’s three hardest-throwing starters all reside in the National League Central, Paul Skenes is amazingly not one of them, and all three made their MLB debuts just last year.
Junior Caminero couldn’t quite reach a foul ball near the tarp, but he wasn’t about to tell the umpire that. Instead, he tried to pull off a variation of the hidden-ball trick.
First, Brewers manager Pat Murphy pulled pancakes out of his pocket during an interview. This time it was a tortoise named Bobby Jr. after the Royals superstar.

As we celebrate this blessed Easter Sunday, we are reminded of the enduring promise of hope, redemption, and new life through the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This sacred day calls us to reflect on God’s grace, cherish our many blessings, and renew our commitment to faith, family, and the values that strengthen our nation.
In a time of uncertainty, Easter is a powerful reminder that light overcomes darkness, and truth prevails. May we carry that spirit forward – serving one another, loving our neighbors, and standing firm in our faith.
Wishing you and your family a joyful, peaceful, and spirit-filled Easter. May God continue to bless you, and may He forever bless the United States of America.

Strong Jobs Surge Signals Economic Rebound Under Pro-Growth Leadership
The latest jobs report delivered a decisive boost of confidence, with the U.S. adding 178,000 jobs in March—far surpassing expectations and marking a sharp turnaround from prior declines. After years of economic strain defined by historically high inflation, stagnant growth, and workforce uncertainty during the previous administration, this report highlights a meaningful shift in direction. The gains reflect renewed strength across key industries and point to the impact of pro-growth policies championed by President Trump and Republicans in Congress. Together, these results underscore a broader economic resurgence—one driven by a focus on American workers, domestic investment, and restoring stability after a prolonged period of economic headwinds.
America Reaches for the Stars Again with Historic Artemis II Launch
In a powerful display of American ingenuity and determination, the Artemis II mission roared to life this week, marking a bold return to deep space exploration. After overcoming delays, the Space Launch System lifted off successfully, carrying a crew of four astronauts into orbit and setting the stage for humanity’s first journey back toward the moon in more than half a century.
Though the mission will not land on the lunar surface, it represents a monumental leap forward. The crew will travel farther into space than any humans before them, circling the moon and returning home after a 10-day voyage—an extraordinary feat that reflects the strength of American leadership in science and exploration.
This mission is more than a technological achievement—it’s a symbol of renewed national ambition. As NASA continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible, Artemis II paves the way for future missions, including plans to once again place American boots on the moon in the coming years. At a time when the world looks skyward, the United States is once again leading the charge—proving that the spirit of exploration is alive, strong, and unmistakably American. 🚀
Hobbs Veto Shows Contempt for Conservative Voices and Arizona Tradition
Arizona Governor Hobbs’ veto of legislation this week to honor Charlie Kirk is a disgraceful display of partisan bias. This wasn’t about process—it was about silencing a conservative voice and denying recognition to someone who inspired millions of young Americans to stand up for their country.
Arizona has a long tradition of honoring impactful leaders, regardless of politics. By blocking this tribute, Hobbs made it clear that if you don’t align with her ideology, your contributions don’t matter.
I find this decision not only disappointing but deeply divisive. At a time when we should be uniting to honor those who shaped our national conversation, the governor chose petty politics over principle—and Arizona deserves better.
Another Preventable Tragedy: Failed Border Policies Continue to Cost American Lives
How many more Americans must suffer before we admit the obvious? Yet again, a violent crime has been tied to an illegal alien who should never have been in this country to begin with. According to news reports this week, a Venezuelan national—allowed into the U.S. under the Biden administration—now stands accused of multiple murders in a North Carolina sanctuary city.
This is the direct result of reckless open-border policies and the dangerous “catch and release” approach that prioritized politics over public safety. Even more alarming, sanctuary city policies prevented proper cooperation with federal immigration authorities—creating a system where criminals are shielded while law-abiding Americans are left vulnerable.
I’m fed up with the consequences of years of weak leadership under the Biden administration, where open-border policies and soft-on-crime sanctuary jurisdictions created the conditions for tragedies like this to happen again and again. Americans are paying the price for these failed decisions. The contrast today is clear—under Donald Trump, we are seeing a renewed commitment to enforcing the law, securing our borders, and putting the safety of American citizens first.
District Highlights!
It’s always a busy time during the Easter district work period. This week, I was happy to be back home in Arizona’s Ninth Congressional District—away from the dysfunction of Washington, D.C. and focused on what truly matters: meeting with the people I serve.
From attending the Yuma County Fair to celebrating our heroes at the Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day cookout in Lake Havasu City, I had the opportunity to connect with hardworking Arizonans and honor those who have sacrificed for our freedoms. These moments serve as a powerful reminder of the values that make our communities strong.
I also toured the Arizona Western College Law Enforcement Academy in Yuma, where I met with dedicated recruits preparing to serve and protect our communities. Their commitment to public safety is inspiring and reinforces the importance of supporting law enforcement at every level.
While in Yuma, I also visited Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, where I met with our Marines and saw firsthand the critical training and readiness efforts that help defend our nation. The strength and professionalism of our armed forces continue to make Arizona a cornerstone of America’s national security.
Returning home each week from the Swamp isn’t just a duty—it’s essential. It keeps me grounded, informed, and accountable to the people of this district. Listening directly to constituents, hearing your concerns, and seeing the priorities firsthand ensures that I can take your voices back to Washington, D.C. and fight for policies that reflect Arizona values. I will always prioritize time in our communities—because serving you starts with showing up.

Big Tech Just Got Hit—Why This Lawsuit Could Change Social Media Forever
Submitted by Nathan Reiff. Article Posted: 3/27/2026.
Key Points
The verdict against Meta Platforms and Google in late March 2026 in a trial surrounding the role of social media in personal injury to users may have massive implications.
Though the financial damages are minor for these tech giants, the verdict may pave the way for much larger legal battles and, potentially, new regulations surrounding the design of social media platforms.
At risk is significant volumes of ad revenue, capital expenditures potentially needed to redesign platforms, market share threats, and much more.
The tech giants behind Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube were ordered to pay millions in compensatory and punitive damages to an unidentified plaintiff who alleged the companies created highly addictive products that harmed users’ mental health.
America’s leading gold expert is pointing to April 15, 2026 as a critical date for gold investors – and says a major shift in the gold market could be set to unfold.
The payout itself is small relative to these companies’ balance sheets, but the implications—and potential fallout—could be a much bigger concern for social media platforms and their investors.
Investors may see a buying opportunity, but the broader question is whether Big Tech’s business models will undergo structural change—and if so, how that would affect market share, valuations and other metrics.
Potential Impacts on Future Trials and Products
This trial is high-profile but not unique; social media companies frequently face lawsuits tied to their platforms.
However, the ruling in this case could shift the landscape for future suits, with multiple related cases expected to go to trial as soon as this year.
In the near term, this exposure could lead to additional damage awards and the negative publicity that accompanies prolonged legal battles for Meta, Alphabet and other tech giants.
More importantly, investors may see Big Tech pushed into a position similar to that of Big Tobacco decades ago, when cigarette makers were held liable for the addictive and harmful nature of their products.
There’s a real risk this defense could fail, with courts instead treating social platforms as defective products that require redesign.
Should that happen, major changes to services like Facebook and Instagram could follow, although exactly what those changes would look like is still unclear.
Some design features highlighted during the trial—such as infinite scroll, autoplayed content and algorithmic recommendations—also influence the delivery and effectiveness of advertising and may come under scrutiny.
What Investors Should Keep In Mind
Social media is a key revenue source for companies like Meta and Alphabet, which have long relied on steadily rising engagement to drive ad sales.
That growth continued into late 2025: Meta reported ad revenue growth of 24% year-over-year in the final quarter, helped by AI-driven ad performance and roughly 3.5 billion daily users across its products.
Beyond lost ad revenue, a legal environment that treats social platforms as defectively designed could expose the industry to tens of billions of dollars in damages and trigger mass-arbitration risk. Even mega-cap tech companies would see meaningful effects on their financial health in that scenario.
Investors should also expect companies to incur substantial costs to comply with any new safety regulations that might result from this and future trials.
This could compress operating margins and add to already-high capital expenditures—many firms are currently investing heavily to integrate AI. It might also create openings for differently designed alternatives to capture market share.
Investors may not view the latest ruling as a reason to abandon META or GOOG positions—both remain analyst favorites, with consensus price targets that imply potential upside of roughly 60% for Alphabet and 25% for Meta.
Still, the financial hit from this single case may be small while its ripple effects could lead to much larger implications for social media broadly and for these firms in particular.

Dear Reader,
President Trump is about to make stock market history.
In 2025, Trump moved the markets more than any president in history…
Liberation Day triggered the fastest 10% drawdown in recent memory — wiping over $2 trillion off the markets in a single day.
Then he paused tariffs for 90 days — and the S&P 500 gained $4 trillion in value.
His AI initiatives sent Palantir soaring over 140%.
But according to Larry Benedict — the man who went 13-for-13 after Trump’s election — all of that was just the warm-up for what Trump is planning next.
