Donald Trump spent the last weeks traveling around the country, characteristically talking about himself and encouraging people to vote as if he were on the ballot.
On Tuesday, that’s exactly how the country voted.
On Sunday morning, a lot of us woke up to Grok Bot, the always-on AI assistant, decidedly off. “100% used” read my quota meter. It’d been 45% late the night before. It was an error, but of the Freudian slip sort, and that’s a problem if tools like this are to be taken seriously.
Monday night the British thinker and politician Daniel J. Hannan posted on TwitteX what was from all appearances a typical “Truth” “Social” screed by Donald Trump.

In the midst of a comment somewhere, I said, “If I am honest, I don’t like liberals.” First off, this isn’t strictly true; I’ve voted for enough of them that my commitment to opposing liberals in America is in serious question. On the other hand, I started as a conservative and a Republican, and I’m still very much that guy, modified by new information.

In late spring, as I’ve written, our beloved local priest, Father Mark, died of esophageal cancer at age 49. The grief-stricken congregation was oddly denied admission to the parish church for his funeral. The church ended up being half empty; the service was to be streamed for those who cared to watch.
This Week at Little Hills returns as Pastor Tim takes us to the book of Jude and thinks about what it means to live as those with hope.
