Reading between the lines

“This time we got him!” The corporate media implied last week after the (latest) indictment of former President Donald Trump. Now days later it’s, “Oh my God, oh my God, Trump might actually win this thing!”

How do I know this?I have been reading between the lines of any commentary, editorial or story, post August 3 indictment.

Case in point, a recent editorial by the Miami Herald editorial board that has warns of the existentialist dangers of re-electing Trump. I encourage you to read the editorial in its entirety, but for the sake of brevity, I am going to focus a few especially choice excerpts.

For this column I will present the excerpt as written, followed by my satirical take of what the editorial board really means. In other words, reading between the lines.

First, the lede:

In 2016, voters went for Donald Trump, the showman, the bigot, the iconoclast, the sexist, the mean-spirited charmer quick with jab, joke or derisive nickname.

Now, given the mile-wide lead that the former president has in the race for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, a majority of Republican voters seem ready to embrace Trump, the authoritarian.

Translation:

You voters ignored our polls that showed Donald Trump had no chance of defeating Hilary Clinton . We get it: You were swayed by Trump’s celebrity, which caused you to mindlessly embrace Trump’s racist assessment of who was entering the country illegally through the US/Mexico border.

Courtesy: C-SPAN

And how dare you not condemn Trump for insulting Senator John McCain’s valor as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. If that wasn’t bad enough, you ignored our breaking news of the Access Hollywood recording of Trump which should have buried him. You also turned a deaf ear to Trump’s disparaging comments against Rosie O’Donnell . (Who cares if she insulted him first? His response was like a bully.)

Finally you laughed at all of nicknames for opponents such as “Crooked Hillary,” “Lyin’ Ted “, “Little Marco” and “Crazy Nancy.”

Now Trump’s back with huge leads in the polls (after revelations that his campaign was spied upon, “Russiagate” was a perpetrated by the Hillary Clinton campaign, and he urged J6 protestors to leave peacefully). Reelecting this guy will lead to a power transfer back to the …people. That would be devastating for this country.

Trump and his campaign have been crystal clear: Should he regain the White House, he will consolidate every last bit of power he can into his own hands. The three equal branches of government will not be equal any more. The former president plans a sweeping makeover of the presidency and the constitutional foundations that actually make America great.

“What we’re trying to do is identify the pockets of independence (emphasis mine),” Russell T. Vought, one of Trump’s policy advisers told that New York Times, “and seize them.”

Translation:

Our side has been working to gather all the power into our hands, we naturally expect Trump will do the same.

And can you believe the gall of demanding a transparent Department of Justice and attorney general? Those pockets of independence should be outside the purview of the Executive Branch. (skip to 2:20 listen to 4:06)

Trump promises to wrest control from the Justice Department and order a criminal investigation into his predecessor, Joe Biden, an abuse of power that would top the Nixon White House and Watergate. Trump also says he will order the now-independent Justice Department to investigate charging decisions by local prosecutors, superseding constitutional separation of federal and local authorities.

You mean that same Department of Justice that “President” Biden has weaponized against his opponent President Trump and tried to give Hunter Biden a slap on the wrist?

Translation:

Trump will curb the current weaponization of the DOJ against the enemies of the Uniparty and instead have it go after criminals. (Wait…what?)

But Trump is promising something else: He will continue to reject our constitutional order and replace it with one-man rule, where he is the authority over laws and how they apply.

Translation:

Trump will… reject “our constitutional order” means he will govern not according to our modern interpretation of subverting the Constitution, but as the Founders intended. “One-man rule” is our way of saying dictator ( as we use racist, sexist or homophobe) to frighten people so they don’t hear the message of our enemies. The truth is we’re not giving up our authority over laws and how they apply.

He’ll undermine Americans’ ability to govern themselves. And he’ll create more chaos, because it serves him. We saw that, unforgettably, on Jan. 6, 2021, when he worked up supporters at his rally until they stormed the U.S. Capitol to block Biden’s victory from being certified.

Translation:

We’re in the process of undermining Americans’ ability to govern themselves. What do think the Covid mask and vaccine mandates were about? The same goes for our efforts to criminalize parents efforts to intervene when their kid wants to become the opposite sex? (Excuse us… gender designation at birth, not sex) The last thing we need is Trump screwing that up with the Founders’ belief about self -governance.

When Trump called for people to protest the election results on January 6, the numbers scared the hell out of us. Sure , the protestors didn’t burn down structures , vandalize police cars and beat up innocent people. That’s the difference between peaceful protest of BLM and Antifa and the chaos of Trump white supremacists.

Just because we called Trump’s 2016 election illegitimate, due to Russian interference, doesn’t give his racist , hayseed followers the right to do the same . So his commanding lead on November 3, 2020 evaporated over night after key states stopped the vote count. The nerve!

And now for my favorite paragraph, the conclusion;

Americans already have endured an unsuccessful coup. To prevent one that succeeds, more of us must pay attention, learn from history and act like the true Americans we can be.

Translation:

So far, most Americans reject Trump’s claim of a stolen election (although that number is shrinking). To make sure he doesn’t succeed, more of you must watch and gather information only from our news, learn from our version of history and act like the real Americans we want you to be (compliant, passive and unquestioning).

______________________________________________

And so ends our first exercise in reading between the lines. I tried to take a humorous approach. Humor works when it’s based on truth.

The latest effort to separate Trump from his base

Here we go again. The latest effort to separate former President Donald Trump from his base.

Courtesy: ABC News

Another week, another indictment of a man already exonerated in two impeachments. Thursday , special counsel Jack Smith charged President Trump with four counts of conspiracy regarding the January 6 aftermath of the 2020 Presidential election.

Trump recently messaged on Truth Social he faces over 561 years in prison if convicted of this and other indictments brought by Democrats.

Yeah…561 years!

Are you sensing a little desperation here folks on the part of Joe Biden Administration? Specifically, the Department of Justice of “President” Biden whom congressional investigations are revealing may be the most corrupt man ever to hold the office?

And isn’t funny that whenever bombshell news is about to break about the latest allegation of Biden corruption, a Trump indictment happens? Hat tip to Captain Chaos who commented at the Gateway Pundit with this (verifiable) timeline:

Timeline of Trump Indictments
6/7/2023 – FBI releases documents alleging Bidens took a $10 million bribe from Burisma
6/8/2023 – Trump indicted in Mar-A-Lago docs case
7/26/2023 – Hunter Biden’s plea deal falls apart after the DOJ tried giving him blanket immunity from future prosecutions
7/27/2023 – Jack Smith adds more charges for Trump in Mar-a-Lago case
7/31/2023 – Devon Archer tells Congress Joe Biden was on over 20 calls with Hunter’s business partners
8/1/2023 – Trump indicted over Jan. 6 probe

Nahh… it’s probably a coincidence.

“This is very sad day for America,” President Trump remarked after the hearing, “When you look at what’s happening this is a persecution of a political opponent. This was never supposed to happen in America. This is the persecution of the person that’s leading by very, very substantial numbers in the Republican primary and leading Biden by a lot. So if you can’t beat ’em, you persecute them or you prosecute ’em, we can’t let this happen in America.”

Those astronomical poll numbers are precisely why we are seeing all these indictments over two years after J6 and over a year from the the 2024 Presidential Election. Apparently, the Democrats and the deep state believe that the plethora of criminal charges against Trump will gradually separate him from his base.

So far, every indictment has led to an uptick in Trump’s poll numbers. I suspect polling in the aftermath of this recent indictment will show the same.

Will these indictments also provide the GOP/ RNC with the excuse to remove Trump from the ballot in certain states? ? It’s remotely possible, but I believe the fallout would mortally damage the Republican Party .

Plus, the Constitution says nothing about an indictment or conviction precluding anyone from running for presidential office. Even CNN confirmed this.

Still, the breathless news reports of Trump taken into custody and fingerprinted, (and the hopes of an eventual mugshot) are still sickening and depressing. And that is precisely how these persecutors want Trump supporters to feel. They want us sad and demoralized with the hope we will eventually move on to a safer and softer candidate.

So far, like a Wile E. Coyote ACME bomb , these efforts have blown up in the face of the Uniparty/deep state. Which begs the question , Are we witnessing insanity (doing the same thing over and expecting a different result) on the part of Trump’s enemies? Maybe, maybe not.

The problem is their strategy to tar and feather Trump’s reputation are awakening more and more people to the reality of a corrupt two-tiered justice system, instead of separating Trump from his base.

So for now, stay strong, God’s justice will prevail. May we ask God not only for peace and protection over President Trump, but also that his persecutors would know the love of Jesus Christ in their hearts. Maybe we can separate some of these lost souls from darkness of their hatred.

The sound of gnashing

For a movie that is packing audiences in for each showing , the sound of gnashing teeth from mainstream movie critics is voluminous

Sound of Freedom packs a gut punch regarding the evil of child trafficking.

Not exactly the mindless popcorn faire of your average summer blockbuster , but in a year of flops from the major studios, this independent studio movie is a bona-fide hit. The film is gripping, sad and sometimes,horrifying, but delivers a powerful message of hope.

Yet mainstream critics are, in unison, dissing the film as right-wing conspiracy fodder. Take a look of some of the headlines I found.

” Christian thriller ‘Sound of Freedom’ faces criticism for stoking conspiracy theories” said one NPR headline. The Guardian’s breathless headline? “Sound of Freedom: the QAnon-adjacent thriller seducing America.” But my favorite is this doozy from Rolling Stone (drum roll): “‘Sound Of Freedom’ Is a Superhero Movie for Dads With Brainworms.”

Nearly every column I researched featured the right wing buzzwords “QAnon”and “conspiracy ” in attempts to denigrate the film and discourage people from seeing it. Spotting the same terms in different mainstream criticisms is either a remarkable coincidence or the sign of an organized campaign.

The good news is it’s not working. I saw the Sound of Freedom during a Sunday Matinee and the theater was packed. I managed to snag one of the last two remaining seats.

People are seeing this movie because it’s a powerful film that shines a light on very real and contemporary evil. Director Alejandro Monteverde masterfully handled the disturbing scenes of abuse without graphic depiction , but allowing your mind to fill in the rest of what’s implied.

From Left to Right: Jim Caviezel, Javier Godino, and Bill Camp

Skillfully woven in the subject is the inspiring heroism of former federal agent, Tim Ballard whose Christian faith leads him to do more than he ever thought possible. This is summed up in two powerful lines uttered in the film, “God’s children are not for sale,” and ” When God tells you what to do, you cannot hesitate.”

When remembering these quotes, it no wonder critics are antagonistic. Mentioning God in a glorifying manner, in a popular movie, almost always causes the sound of gnashing from the left.

How these critics could attempt to deter people from experiencing this film, speaks volumes about the fake and compromised media and Hollywood. I believe this vitriol stems from one of four reasons. 1)These critics are either so blinded by their politics that anything Christian or conservative is automatically viewed as sinister; 2)They’re following orders from higher ups (in either Hollywood or government) to bash the movie; 3) They have no problem with the subject because it hits too close to home or the industry; 4) It’s a combination of the previous three explanations.

Where are the stars doing their tick-tock or Twitter videos supporting this film and bringing awareness like they did with “Times-up/Me Too” or Covid?

Oh, that’s right, there’s a writers’ and actors’ strike. It’s likely even if those events weren’t happening we would still hear crickets, or perhaps more sounds of gnashing.

An interesting fact is this movie was actually completed five years ago. God’s timing is amazing when one considers the movie’s release amid the revelations of government corruption. As written in my last piece, I believe God is revealing the level of evil we face so that we can see that only He can fight this battle. He does so, partly through us, when we are obedient in faith.

In the post credits , actor Jim Caviezel remarks of the filmmakers’ hope that this movie would have the power of Uncle Tom’s Cabin which sparked the beginning of the end of slavery. May this film have an equal impact, marking the beginning of the end of human trafficking.

In another era, such an underdog of a movie would be the stuff of Hollywood legend. Just shows how much times have changed.

Be encouraged

When viewing the current state of America, with widespread political corruption, crime-ridden big cities and gender madness, discouragement is an easy default. But be encouraged: as Christians, God is working everything to our greater good (Romans 8:28).

What is our greater good? Our faith. For without faith it is impossible to please God.

Yes, things really suck in America, spiritually. WE are experiencing, in real time that when a country turns from God , it turns to doctrines of demons.

Satan is in literally in the White House, influencing the president. One of President Joe Biden’s highest paid staffers is a satanist.

We’re talking paganism here folks. This whole “your truth ” vs “my truth” arises from people thinking they are all knowing. Idolatry causes this state, whether they are worshipping a false god , a deceiving spirit ,or themselves.

Other proof of America’s regression to paganism include, tribalism, occult practices, sex trafficking of women and children and abortion. yes, I said abortion.

Have you ever wondered why pro-choice activists rabidly protect this barbaric practice? Sixty million babies…60 million, aborted since 1973 is an afterthought to these people. I believe this is because abortion is a form of child sacrifice , and other Americans are coming to this conclusion.

Artist depiction of the pagan god, Molech

Just observe the religious zeal in their eyes and the personal attacks when you challenge their protection of abortion. This goes way beyond protecting a woman’s right to choose and has everything to do with placating Molech.

Now am I saying every pro-choicer knows they are participating in a grand form of child sacrifice? No. The street level activist believes they are fighting for a righteous cause, a civil right. It’s the upper echelons that know the plan and defend the practice. They craft the propaganda that seduces the undiscerning into willing foot soldiers.

Like I said, it’s demonic. And so is the embrace of this gender chaos. What has the country come to when a child cannot vote or join the military until he or she is 18, cannot legally purchase alcohol until the age of 21, yet can make make decisions about their gender before adolescence?

Our country is descending into spiritual madness courtesy of the secularist/Marxist pawns of the principalities of darkness .

So why do I say be encouraged? Because, amid the darkness, we as Christians have a tremendous opportunity to be light. We’re light because we reflect Jesus and the brightness of our light is commensurate to our faith.

There’s that word , faith, again. Let’s discuss why if you have it, there is no need for fear or worry .

Faith is like exercising a muscle: the more you work the muscle the bigger or more defined it becomes. You can sit around and visualize yourself as muscular all you want, but until you pick up that weight or complete those pushups, you’re still that out- of -shape guy or gal.

The same goes for faith. It must be practiced.

Prayer and Bible study are part of exercising faith. If you are doing these things consistently your faith will have a solid foundation. We build our faith from this point by obedience.

Obedience means a willingness to go where God leads you even if you do not see the outcome. This is where faith comes in, a belief in things unseen as if they were.

When we walk in faith, God walks with us in our circumstances. In other words, in our successes and failures. God promises never to leave us or forsake us. We can be glad that God is doing a work in us, perfecting us. That work won’t stop until we are in with the Lord in heaven.

When we are obedient to bring the Gospel to a fallen world , or in Americans’ case, a fallen nation. Be encouraged because nothing can stop the mission.

Historically, persecution and martyrdom never stopped God’s Word. If anything, these obstacles instituted the opposite effect, causing the Gospel to flourish.

In this hour of darkness is the American Christians’ opportunity to shine brightly. God has appointed you and me for this hour.

Yes, the times appear bleak and hopeless. But take heart, when the odds appear against the church is when God does His greatest work. We only stifle His glory when we hesitate in fear.

So welcome the persecution, and remember that your life is not your own, but was ransomed by the blood of Jesus Christ on the cross. Remember also that you can do all things in the name of Jesus. His name is above all others and the day will come when all will bow before Him.

I believe God is revealing the level of evil we are living under for a purpose: to show us only God can fight this battle . We are perfected when we allow Him to move through us.

Be encouraged.

GOP, you won’t fool us again

You’ve undoubtedly heard the saying, “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.” Now for conservatives, it’s “GOP, you won’t fool us again. “

If you missed the Iowa Family Leadership Conference, hosted by Tucker Carlson, you need to give the interviews a serious watch. Here , here and here . Carlson’s sharp questioning of candidates revealed most of the current GOP bench as robotic, uninspiring or fake.

Years ago I would have been into most or all of these candidates, thinking, “Hey, they’re the GOP, the good guys. Let’s see who emerges as the front-runner and let’s back em.”

Not anymore.

Why do I say GOP, you won’t fool us again?

Everyone of those candidates Tucker interviewed is playing a role. Each of them has a specific part in this election cycle to keep President Donald Trump out of the White House. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is Trump Lite, Former Vice President Mike Pence and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott are trying to fracture the evangelical vote ( and in Scott’s case, the black vote), Former S.C. Governor and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley , the female and hawk vote, Chris Christie , the moderate vote and so on.

Mike Pence and Asa Hutchinson shot themselves in their proverbial feet during the interviews. Pence on Ukraine and Hutchinson regarding his veto of an Arkansas bill banning transgender surgeries for children.

Both of these excerpts showed empty suits with loyalties to issues most Americans strongly oppose. Could this information have come out in the debates? Probably not, but I could be wrong.

What’s needed in this election cycle are more one-on-one townhall sit-downs with skilled interviewers because this throws off the rehearsed soundbites of candidates. Time to dispense with meaningless debates where the clapping seal punditry determine the winners and losers. Let’s go a step further and get the moderators for these events from alternative conservative media only. Period.

An ever-growing number of conservative voters are wise to the GOP schtick . You know, the mouthing of Christian platitudes, pledging to shrink the bureaucracy, moderation in the face of Democrat insults, and the refusals to seriously question Covid policies and the 2020 Presidential election.

With very few individual exceptions, the Republicans and Democrats belong to the Uniparty, dedicated only to the interests of Washington D.C. and not the people. More conservatives are getting this.

Included in this are many of the so-called conservative punditry who we once listened to , watched and read religiously . They’ve revealed themselves as controlled opposition.

What’s controlled opposition? These hacks give us the illusion that we have a voice by them saying the right conservative buzzwords, fooling us they’re on our side. Meanwhile , they feature insufferable RINO’s (Republican In Name Only) on their shows weekly.

Sure, there are mainstream exceptions to this rule , but now it’s trust but verify.

Which brings us back to current crop of GOP candidates. The people chose their preferred candidate in 2016, 2020 and the polls are showing a huge majority of conservative voters want Trump back in the White House. The Republican elites say we’ll give you a choice, anyone but Trump.

Republican elites don’t want Trump because he places the people first and not D.C. interests, the conservative majority want Trump precisely because he places the people first and not D.C. interests. The scales have come off the eyes of more and more people who realize that most of current candidates are beholden to billionaire donors before the interests of the American people.

Trump currently leads in polling , despite the election interference of politically motivated indictments. And yes these indictments have nothing to do with the law and everything to do with politics.

If the Republican National Committee were serious about winning, they would back the people’s choice. They’re not

And guess what? GOP, you won’t fool us again.

American flag / Pride flag: a comparison

After weeks of watching the Pride flag wave in various venues, cities, states, countries and even the White House, it just struck me the differences between it and the American flag.

We’re not just talking about aesthetics, but the feelings “Old Glory” and ,what I like to call, “New Exaltation” evokes.

When looking at the American flag, I immediately think Land of the free and the home of the brave. When I look at the Pride flag, I think of coercion

Coercion?

“That makes you a homophobe!”, says the typical liberal/leftist

No .

My impression of coercion comes the reality of peer pressure from liberal straights who are intolerant of any criticism of the LGBTQ+ movement.

Don’t you know there are no bad people in LGBTQ? Everyone is noble and brave and all they want is to be left alone! Blah, blah, blah.

The truth is most Americans could care less about homosexuals. So-called straights are not obsessed by what these people do in private.

However, the Pride flag symbolizes an obsession by homosexuals, etc to force their lifestyle and sexual proclivities into the daily lives and thoughts of heterosexuals.

Tell me I’m wrong.

The vast majority of Americans simply want to live their lives and wish the same to others, as long as it is lawful. The Pride flag symbolizes LGBTQ doesn’t share this sentiment. “You will accept our lifestyles!” ‘We will educate you in how you will treat us!” ‘You will refer to us in the approved pronouns!”

Who gets such authoritarianism from the American flag? I look at the American flag and I think … freedom. Freedom to love the country and cherish the flag or the freedom not to do so.

Sure, if you demonize the country or desecrate the flag, there’s a very good chance you might meet opposition. After all, your right to criticize doesn’t absolve you from rejection as well.

That’s what freedom of speech means as symbolized by the American flag.Can you say the same about the Pride flag?

Have you thought land of the free and home of the brave every time you’ve seen the Pride flag this Pride Month? I bet you haven’t. Most likely you associate Drag Queen story hour and obnoxiously colored parades featuring in-your -face sexuality.

Land of the free and home of brave promotes thoughts of love of country, which in itself evokes humility. Think of the countless brave Americans who gave their lives to protect freedom and liberty. The Pride flag, by its very name, is not synonymous with humility .

Humility means placing the needs of others above you . The Pride flag says “My rights are more important than your rights and you must celebrate them.”

Placing the Pride flag at the center two American flags at a recent White House ceremony commemorating Pride month, was an apt symbol of this domineering attitude.

Unity is associated with the American flag. The stripes symbolize the original thirteen colonies and the stars represent the unity of the fifty states. The flag embodies people from different lands living together under the banner of a freedom not found anywhere else in the world.

Supporters of the Pride flag declare it represents not just unity but also diversity , inclusion and equity. What’s left unsaid is that while drag queens and trans people are sacrosanct, Bible believing Christians, conservatives and white males are … well…evil.

Did you know there are actually seventeen different pride flags ? (link) For brevity’s sake let’s focus on a description of the Progressive Pride Flag which debuted in 2018.

Just to the left of the rainbow colors is an arrow representing forward progress. The flag stands for life (red), healing (orange), sunlight (yellow), nature (green), peace/harmony ( blue),and spirit (purple/violet). The colors inside the arrow represent trans individuals ( light blue, light pink, white) marginalized persons of color communities (brown and black), and those living with AIDS, those no longer living and the stigma surrounding them (black).

Everything about the Pride flag speaks of group association , groupthink and entitlement.

Contrast that with the American flag where the rights of the individual, regardless of skin color, gender or religious affiliation, are celebrated.

Finally, let’s talk about the obvious. The Pride flag speaks of … well… pride. I totally understand the desire to feel good about one’s self without shame. That is a basic human need.

But pride coming from elevating yourself over others and thinking your way supersedes God’s precepts , becomes problematic. That is when pride becomes sin.

The great C.S. Lewis wrote of pride in his landmark work Mere Christianity:

“According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil:

Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind…… it is Pride which has been the chief cause of misery in every nation and every family since the world began.”1

If Mr. Lewis’ assessment is accurate, why have many churches embraced this movement with zealotry? What explains this virtue signaling?

I believe that these churches do not think of pride in the traditional biblical sense and instead view it as a movement, as say, civil rights. To them, the Pride flag symbolizes hope and says “You’re safe here.”

Throughout history, churches have been a haven for the oppressed. But just how oppressed is the LGBTQ community? Gay marriage is the law of the land and so is gay parental adoption. Homosexuals hold prominent positions in business, politics, academia and Hollywood. There are no “Straights only” signs like the old “Whites Only” signs during the Jim Crow era.

And why has this church embrace of LGBTQ led to painful splits of mainstream denominations such as Lutherans, Episcopalians, Methodists and Baptists . Could it be that these liberal sects choose to ignore all the biblical verses that condemn homosexuality (like lying, coveting, lust, stealing, idolatry, murder, etc) as sin in favor of a more modern gospel?

Yes.

So then, could one not infer flying the Pride flag is a proud reminder of this division in the church? Such division is not a good thing for the church or, for that matter, the country which was founded under God.

And yes, America is divided right now.

For almost 250 years, the American flag has epitomized a country who, for the first time in history declared that rights of the citizen–of freedoms of speech, religion and assembly–come from God, not government. As we near the end of Pride month, can most Americans say the same of the Pride flag?

I guess Tucker wasn’t controlled opposition

I was stunned by Tucker Carlson’s departure from Fox News. I must admit that ,up to that moment, I thought the network used him as controlled opposition to keep up the facade of conservative street cred.

I have to rethink that.

For Fox to ditch Carlson’s top rated program, a money-maker for the station, is a head scratcher. News reports have speculated that Fox fired Carlson as part of Fox News’ recent nearly 800 million dollar settlement with Dominion Voting Systems. Fox settled over charges the voting machine company of rigged the election against former President Donald Trump in 2020.

Just a little aside. Fox played a huge role in rigging the 2020 election against Trump by calling Arizona for Joe Biden before polls closed. Remember they called Arizona before calling Texas for Trump.. Trump lost Arizona by only 11 thousand votes. I agree with some pundits that Fox “took a dive” and would have won the lawsuit on appeal.

I believe the Dominion settlement is a plan to give the voting machine company the imprimatur of honesty. In other words, it makes the company symbolically ironclad against accusation of election manipulation.

The settlement is a huge but merely a pittance to a multi-billionaire like Rupert Murdoch. And if it weakens Trump’s election efforts in 2024 , then it was money well spent.

Anyway, back to Tucker.

It probably didn’t help Tucker when he recently interviewed President Trump, giving the likely Republican 2024 nominee a positive forum. Up to that point, Trump was persona non grata at Fox News. Their efforts to prop up Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and every other Republican presidential candidate, except Trump, did not go unnoticed.

I stopped watching Fox News right after the 2020 Presidential Election fiasco but I would watch Carlson on clips presented by conservative sites . I thought his recent commentaries on Big Pharma/Pfizer and J6 were pretty hard hitting . . Btw Fox ,when are we going to see the rest of the J6 footage? Not holding my breath.

Carlson will land on his feet and wherever and however he returns, the ratings will be off the charts. We’ll see if Fox will continue the purge of base friendly conservative hosts like Jesse Watters .

Regardless , Fox appears to be on a leftward beeline.

Traditional masculinity triggers godless left

Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.  Let all that you do be done in love.–1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (English Standard Version)

Like a cross to a vampire, traditional masculinity triggers the godless left. Why is this so?

So much of leftism attacks classic masculine traits such as courage, assertiveness, independence and leadership. Here’s why they must.

I believe it’s because masculinity is normal.

Oh it can’t be that… can it?

Yes it can, and it makes sense if you think about it.

Everything about the left is a parody and a counterfeit. Their policies and goals are steeped in chaos with the upending of what used to be accepted behaviors of the two sexes.

There is nothing chaotic about true masculinity. If anything ,masculinity produces order and calm which is kryptonite to the radical left.

Take a guess as to the masculinity poster boy that most triggers the godless left? That’s right: None other than President Donald Trump.

Let’s see… the left labels Trump as bombastic and braggadocious, yet he exhibits those masculine traits of courage, assertiveness, independence ,leadership and results in spades. Maybe that’s why the left and RINO’s on the right hate him?

Trump not only exemplifies those qualities, but he celebrates other men that project those qualities. Just look at any of his rallies. He always makes it a point to single out people in his audience that look like men’s men. He highlights and celebrates that as one alpha male to another which gets the left seething.

“Toxic masculinity this and toxic masculinity that!” they whine as if every male is a bully or misogynist. Now are there some jerks who exhibit those negative qualities?

Of course. But who stands against the those who bully others? That’s right, the masculine male.

The experts say toxic masculinity is harmful to nations because of misogyny, dominance and violence. Let’s examine these examples one by one.

The vast majority of masculine men are chivalrous to women because of their up-bringing. Notice you never ever hear the left discuss chivalry as a part of masculinity. Nope, all we hear associated with masculinity is sexism.

Dominance is also alien to true masculinity. These men do not obsess over bending people to their will , they’re too busy living their lives, taking care of their families and working their jobs. Only godless narcissists and sociopaths, walk around, contemplating how they can dominate society and culture. Remember, control is a reaction to fear.

Which brings us to violence…

For real toxic males, violence is a go-to, whether it’s raging, protecting fragile egos, dominating women or impressing peers with random assaults. We’re talking developmentally arrested individuals, lacking self-control. For them, violence is strength.

On the other hand, threats to family, friends innocents and personal safety are go-time for the traditional masculine man. These are males with self-control and patience…up to point. While these men are not prone to violence, they are not afraid to use it when needed.

God gave masculinity to men as tools to protect, build, carry on the species, fight, and if necessary, kill evil. Demonizing masculinity, in favor of radically feminizing culture, is literally withering the United States of America and Western Civilization.

This coordinated attack on masculinity is not to make us a better nation as the leftist mantra often claims. Instead, it is a strategy to destroy western nations like the United States, Canada and Great Britain by weakening its protectors: masculine men.

Want to know the biggest reason the left hates Trump or any other unapologetic masculine men? These guys whether in big ways or small inspire men to stand , resist and, if needed, fight.

Most importantly such men are heroic to young boys and teens. They provide an ideal for them in which to aspire.

True masculine guys don’t obsess over what people think about them. They form their opinions based on their core beliefs and principles.

The ever growing numbers of MAGA reflect a country of males thirsty for simple, plain-spoken truths outside of the gaslighting left. That’s sand in the gears of leftism which bullies people into staying silent and standing down out of guilt, shame or fear.

Men like Trump are dangerous to the left, so they are demonized as racists, misogynists, and homophobes. This is done so other guys will hesitate pushing back against the crazy leftist agenda.

Too many men want to be liked and accepted by everyone:pop culture, friends and even people they hardly know. They parrot mainstream thinking with their comments and observations and are mortified if they offend anyone. These are beta males.

To quote the legendary Brooklyn Dodgers Manager, Leo Durocher, “Nice guys finish last.” Or in this case , beta males aren’t even in the fight.

The need for traditional masculinity is a truth that may offend many in our angry , petulant and unserious culture. Since traditional masculinity triggers the godless left, more males should embrace this trait with alacrity.

What can one Christian do?

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” –Isiah 40:31

What can one Christian do? What difference can you make in the face of widespread infiltration of evil in America?

You see blatant corruption literally sucking the life out of America: a two-tier justice system, a wide-open border , presidential administration beholden to America-hating interests and a federal government persecuting anyone who questions or stands in the way of its agenda.

Some days the gravity of our situation is wearying and some days a feeling of powerlessness dominates. Can I get an amen?

We feel this way because the news is mostly bad. Even on conservative websites, many published articles can leave one sighing in despair over the madness of our situation and the willful destruction of our economy, laws, society and military.

We can respond to the world’s standards or God’s

As Christians we have three responses to our current situation. 1) We can surrender in a foregone conclusion that America is over; 2) we can return evil for evil; or 3) we can reference our Bibles for a Godly response.

The first example implies a serious lack of faith. So does the second; with you now showing that you know better than God. The third action is rooted in God’s word and therefore, faithful.

Faith is the key word. Specifically, where do we place our faith? If you find yourself reading news or commentary more than your Bible, your faith in God may be or is already lukewarm.

I must confess that there have been recent periods where I have done exactly that; studying political commentary more than my Bible. That wearing feeling mentioned earlier, is the barometer of this shift in priorities.

Powerlessness comes from taking our eyes off of Jesus

Powerlessness comes when we’re not trusting in God. Power comes from faith in God.

We must keep our eyes on Christ and not on the current state of our country. That doesn’t mean we ignore what’s going on because we have to live in the world. However, we must also remember that when we accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, like Him, we became no longer of the world.

This means our true home is heaven. This world is not a final destination, but merely a flash on our way to eternity.

This truth is an important concept that we must resolve to remember, no matter how much the culture deteriorates. With that in mind let us look at what God tells us to do in the face of corrupt government officials and a pagan culture.

The Bible commands us to submit to government authorities and pray for those in power. Yeah… submit and pray.

Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.–Romans 13:1(New King James Version)

This means we peaceably obey the government by not fomenting rebellion against obeying laws and paying our taxes. Keep in mind, that Paul wrote this during the time of Nero, one of the cruelest Roman rulers.

Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.–Romans 13:2(NKJV)

You think things are bad for Christians now? Nero used to have Christians cast in wax and lit on fire like candles for his amusement. This depraved Caesar would also feed Christians to the hungry lions in the coliseum or have them killed in gladiator spectacles.

Paul wrote Romans during the reign of this madman. Does this mean we obey all government edicts without question? Of course not.

Why do you think those Christians were persecuted by Nero? It was because they did not follow his laws to remain silent and not worship Christ. Those Christians were martyred because they placed God above government.

We choose God over government

This is the only instance in which we are not to follow government. When it comes to obeying the government and worshiping our Lord, we defer to the latter and not the former. Peter explicitly obeyed this principal in Acts 5:29:

But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.

Government as ordained by God is supposed to protect the righteous while being a terror to the evil doer.This is the explained in Romans 13:3-5

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake.

Our current government has become a terror to good works and not to evildoers. Therefore it is not carrying out its God-given duty to protect the good. It prioritizes abortion, transgenderism , division and paganism. Are we to obey it blindly? No, for it is anti-God and anti-Christ. However, this does not give us license to foment rebellion. We choose not to follow laws that glorify evil and not God,while at the same time praying for elected officials.

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.–1 Timothy2:2-4.

So if you want peace of mind and joy, do what God commands us to do . It totally goes against the world’s standards and as a result, calls us to faith and obedience; which is really what God is looking for in his children.

Why is godly marriage so important?

Marriage is the foundation of civilized society

With all the disillusionment about our political leaders and institutions, it’s easy to focus only on the latest crisis or outrage. We should not forget that as believers we must prioritize Christian living. For this article let’s discuss godly marriage.

Yeah, a discussion of godly marriage is not as “sexy” as fixing blame on the opposite political party for our nation’s problems. That’s too easy. Discussing marriage, forces us to examine our roles and responsibilities.

Part of our responsibility is understanding that marriage is a creation of God and not of government. What is the ramification of this understanding? You begin to understand that God foreknew all of the benefits under His plan for us.

What are those benefits? They are many blessings. Here a few: love, sex within wedlock, the bearing and raising of children, support and commitment.

It is in godly marriage that couples live biblical principles of forgiveness, humility, faith, selflessness and monogamy. Now there are some virtues rarely stressed in our current culture.

If marriage was exalted as the foundation of civilized society as it should be, the aforementioned virtues would be commonplace.

He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the Lord. Proverbs 18 :22 ,New King James Version

Marriage symbolizes our relationship with God

Godly marriage forces us to mature and cleave to a partner for life. Your spouse becomes your most intimate friend and confidant, knowing your strengths and shortcomings.

Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they. shall become one flesh. –Genesis 2:24 NKJV

The marriage relationship in many ways reflects the relationship we are to have with God. Our Heavenly Father knows us inside and out and desires an intimate relationship with His children. We can take any problem, any worry, any sorrow, any praise to God .

Men learn a deeper love in matrimony. A husband develops manly virtues, a selfless love with a willingness to lay down his life to protect his wife and family, just like Jesus did for the church.

Husbands love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her. —Ephesians 5:25

Loving our wives like Christ loves the church means seeking and doing the best for her. More deeply , it means providing ,protecting and encouraging her.

Oh and it doesn’t end there. Men are to be the spiritual leaders in their home , putting God first in everything.

Christian marriages instill a love of God in children

Putting God first gives a proper perspective in a couple’s marriage, leading to stability. Within this stability, children can be properly reared.

Properly raising a child means first instilling a love for God in their hearts. How is this done? First, children must see their parents putting God first. Next, children learn to love God through seeing how their parents love God by glorifying him in their speech and the marriage relationship.

What parents are teaching children is accountability to God. Children must know that nothing is hidden from God and that he sees every action. This is huge.

Within the context of accountability, children learn about love, respect for authority, respect for their elders, the value of work and the importance of honoring the family name. Boys and girls learn different aspects of the virtues of strength, courage, integrity and loyalty from from both parents.

America is experiencing the danger of not protecting God’s marriage plan

Given all the blessings of godly marriage to a family and a culture, you would think governments would be more apt to protect it. Unfortunately they’re more prone to letting marriage wane. America is learning the bitter fruits of not protecting God’s design of marriage and changing the meaning of it.

Many Americans look around , stunned at the current level of darkness and evil in their country. They ask, How did this happen?

Could it have something to do with the current state of marriage? Remember, marriage changed in America in 2015 after the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in the Obergefell v. Hodges case.

What many forget is that the sexual revolution of the 1960’s and 70’s along with no-fault divorce, were grave assaults to the institution and denigrating its importance. One could argue these assaults weakened marriage , paving the way for the Supreme Court’s ruling.

Is it any wonder why God hates divorce and why fornication and adultery are pathologically destructive sins? God knows the harm these things can do to a people and a nation.

If Christians are to be God’s light of revival for this collapsing nation, we have to prioritize fundamentals of godly living. Fundamentals are the basics of any endeavor and provide a foundation to build upon.

The foundation is the base of anything, be it a sport , a profession or a house. Let us use the house analogy for the sake of our argument.

A foundation supports everything in a house, from the flooring to the walls. A bad foundation can cause a structure to collapse. If you ever experienced a home renovation, now you know why the contractor inspected your home’s foundation for problem areas.

One important piece of America’s foundation is marriage. It is vitally important that Christians put God first in our unions.

Our sole purpose is to honor and glorify God and when we do so in our marriages ,we show the world that marriage is more than a license issued by the state. Putting God first, speaks with our actions that marriage is a covenant with our Heavenly Father.
