Fantastic Four : First Steps is scheduled for a July 25 release and Marvel Studio casting decisions have angered core fans . Casting a female Silver Surfer, and Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/ Mr. Fantastic were bad enough. Now comes news the Invisible Girl/Sue Storm Richards will be leading the group, which now has many wondering if the correct title of this film should be Fantastic Four : Missteps?.

This new release will mark the fifth try of getting Marvel’s First Family right. First, there was the low-budget, unreleased Roger Corman version , made simply to retain the rights .
Next, came the Tim Story directed films:Fantastic Four in 2005, followed by a 2007 sequel, Fantastic Four : Rise of the Silver Surfer. Then, came the 2015’s Josh Trank-directed dark, body-horror influenced, Fant(4)stic which flopped hard at the box office.
Now, we have the soon to be released 2025 version which Marvel desperately needs to be a home run after two flops this year: Captain America: Brave New World and The Thunderbolts/New Avengers . The latter got pretty decent reviews from critics and the audiences that saw it in the theater, yet it still flopped. Why? Because audiences have lost faith in Marvel because of its obsession with woke storylines and girl bosses.
You would think Marvel/Disney would have learned its lesson with a steady stream of diminished box office returns. With the exception of Deadpool/Wolverine, Spiderman: No Way Home and Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Marvel movies have steadily declined in story quality since embracing woke themes, first with this remarkably eye-rolling scene in Endgame:
This began the shift from engrossing storytelling to virtue-signaling and pandering. And how has that worked for Marvel? You would think after one failure after another, someone higher up in Disney and Marvel would say , “Hey guys, the audience keeps rejecting our message, maybe we should change course?” Instead Marvel’s and Disney’s honchos Kevin Feige and Bob Iger seem to be doubling down.
The Fantastic Four deserve better than this. This quartet created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby ushered in the Marvel Age of Heroes in the 1960’s
Unlike DC’s Justice League of America, the Fantastic Four didn’t just meet to fight a common foe and then part ways. The FF lived together in the same building, sharing a family dynamic where they sometimes bickered or didn’t get along. The Lee/Kirby run on this book was unparalleled in comic history, introducing iconic characters such as the aforementioned Silver Surfer, the Black Panther, Dr. Doom , Galactus, and the Inhumans.
I recently re-read the “Galactus Trilogy” which still holds up nearly 60 years later. I couldn’t resist anger when thinking about Marvel’s decision to lessen Reed Richards’ role :first, by casting beta male Pascal as the stalwart and chiseled leader…
Comic book Reed Richards and Pedro Pascal
and then by making his wife, Sue Richards/ The Invisible Woman as the girl boss leader of the FF.
And what the heck is Marvel thinking by gender swapping the Silver Surfer?The Silver Surfer is Norrin Radd , a man . Period.
I grew up reading the Fantastic Four and it was one of my favorite titles. I was really pulling for this film, willing to give Pedro and the female silver Surfer a chance. However, making Sue the leader , diminishing Ben Grimm/ The Thing (the heart of the FF)and changing Johnny Storm/ The Human Torch from a skirt chaser into a sensitive cuck was the last straw.
I’ m hoping I am wrong about this movie, but I doubt it. Unless I hear positive word of mouth from trusted personal and internet sources, I’m out of this latest FF iteration .
What are your thoughts ? Is this Fantastic Four : Missteps instead of Fantastic Four : First Steps? Will this latest release make the 2005 version (pictured below) look like a classic? Please leave a comment below and please “like” and share this article.

As a typical American boy , who still happens to be black, I grew up watching these fictional men of action and no, I did not feel slighted because they didn’t look like me (sorry, liberals). These characters gave kids like me a sense of escapism and,I guess, confidence. Why ? We knew our heroes would win by the end of an episode.
William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk
Kids need that sense of security in their formative years that good always triumphs over evil. Having this innocent certainty informs their worldview and contributes to their sense of right and wrong. This is just as true now as 50-60 years ago.
Jack Lord as Steve McGarrett
Many boys in this era grew up imitating their favorite tv hero. It was nice as a boy or teenager to always have that question in the back of mind: “What would Marshal Dillon do?” “How would Captain Kirk handle this situation?” Maybe it sounds a little funny, but you get the idea.
The message to young boys and men in those older shows was an important one: one man can make a difference. That was true on fictional television and was once widely believed in America.
Robert Vaughn as Napoleon Solo
Prime time tv shows certainly do not feature heroic masculine lead characters, nor any adventurous escapism. Viewers are watching shows featuring “modern” situations, featuring ensemble casts where men are clearly not the masculine archetypes of yesteryear.
In the last 25 years ,the only masculine alpha-males featured as lead protagonists are antiheroes in shows such as Breaking Bad, Dexter, Sons of Anarchy, The Sopranos. That’s right , drug dealers, serial killers, outlaw bikers and mafia wise guys: certainly not role models.
What’s the commonality of these antiheroes? That’s right, they’re all white males. Coincidence? You tell me.
Robert Conrad as James West
Since the dawn of time, boys and young men thrilled to epic tales of courage, sacrifice and heroism. The adventures of mythological icons such as Odysseus , Gilgamesh, Hercules, King Arthur were passed down orally from generation to generation. As time passed these chronicles were printed, inspiring the creation of contemporary heroes
Here’s a timeless fact that will always exist despite leftists’ efforts to deny: boys will have to face bullies, fathers sometimes have to spank their sons and men must be ready to defend their families. These were accepted norms in society until leftists changed the meaning of bullies to anyone who criticizes their protected classes .
I never wanted to be that guy saying ” Well , back in my day,” but I guess I have to be. Changing times have always sparked that classic lament, however the era in which we are living is not only different, but an existential threat to America. In the past, there were never forces so rabid in their attacks on masculinity, femininity , the traditional family , timeless values and even truth, as the era we find ourselves in.
So where are the heroes for boys to emulate? Maybe it’s time we stopped sneering at the old ideals and started asking what we lost when we replaced honor with cynicism, discipline with entitlement, and heroism with nihilism. Boys still need to dream, to believe, to emulate men who stand tall in the face of evil and do what’s right simply because it’s right. If our culture won’t provide them with such examples, then it’s up to us—to fathers, mentors, teachers, and yes, even storytellers—to revive those stories and reintroduce a new generation to timeless truths. Because in the end, a nation without heroes is a nation without a future.

— Thomas Sowell Quotes (@ThomasSowell) April 3, 2025
Obviously, the left sharing this video of a Reagan weekly radio address is a strategy to invalidate President Donald Trump’s enactment of reciprocal tariffs and to divide Reaganites and MAGA.
I watched the video a few times to determine the context. From what I can decipher, either Reagan is talking about other countries issuing tariffs using America as a metaphor or he is describing why America should not ever rely solely on tariffs. Based on my limited research, I’m inclined to think the latter.
Keep in mind, Reagan championed free trade, (the buzzword of the 80’s and 90’s) and was a proponent of NAFTA and amnesty: both of which turned out to be terrible for America.
Obviously things were different in the eighties and Reagan certainly could not have foreseen the damage done to the USA .The Gipper is still one of best presidents America has ever had, but it appears , at least based on this context, he appears to be wrong on tariffs as he was with amnesty.
Perhaps there is more to this clip and if so, please feel free to post. I don’t mind anyone proving me wrong on this one.
Please watch the previous video and let me know your thoughts.
President Ronald Reagan shakes hands with future President Donald Trump
What have we witnessed in the past six days? All we’ve heard is epic fear mongering by the left , some on the right, and the media over President Donald Trump’s announcement of reciprocal tariffs. Let’s spend some time unpacking Liberation Day.
Hopefully you have marked April 2 as Liberation Day in your calendars, because history will record President Trump’s policy as a generational transformation. Believe it!
“But Dex, the stock market is falling, consumers will be paying higher prices and the world will hate us! ” Yes these things are happening, but only in the short term. It won’t be forever as the left is trying to make it.
How come the pearl-clutchers on the left, the media, and some on the right aren’t asking if tariffs are so bad, why do other world economies benefit from them? Why are tariffs only bad for America? Prior to the 16th Amendment, which made income tax law in 1913, America funded itself primarily by tariffs, public land sales, custom duties and excise taxes.
Countries like Japan, India, Vietnam and Canada have booming economies due to asymmetrical tariff policies on USA products. Canada has slapped as much as 200 percent tariffs on American goods.
America has had this uneven trade policy in place for over 80 years with the advent of the Marshal Plan at the end of World War 2. In fact, the last time America had a trade surplus was over 50 years ago. That’s the 1970’s.
So Trump announces we’re not gonna take it anymore, reveals his Executive Order of reciprocal tariffs to begin the restoration of fair trade and all hell breaks loose. The Wall Street Journal lambasts him, the mockingbird media distorts , Democrats demonize and even Republicans like Rand Paul and Ted Cruz condemn the policy.
Typical. Democrats gonna hate, media gonna lie and certain Republicans gonna bail. That’s Washington baby!
However there’s an obvious detail all the usual suspects tend to gloss over: the word reciprocal. Trump’s policy is reciprocal tariffs, not punitive. Reciprocal means the tariff amounts America places on other countries are based on their actions.
In other words, any increase in tariffs, America will respond in kind. The same goes for any decrease in tariffs as well . Funny how the legacy press ignores that part of reciprocity.
Say, for instance, Canada or the EU reduces its tariffs to 0 , we would respond the same way. with 0 tariffs. Yes, if all these global leaders responded with reductions, Trump would do the same. Instead ,all we’re getting from world leaders is foot stomping tantrums promising Americans will feel the pain.
Why do these leaders bloviate with such punitive rhetoric instead of simply reducing their tariffs? It’s all about the money. The globalists are pissed off because they fear their people finding out their economies are sustained by the tariffs on American goods. Reduce those amounts and you kill the gravy train they’re accustomed to.
But it’s even bigger than that. President Trump is upending the parasitical global economic construct that has grown wealthy on the backs of hard-working Americans.Trump is liberating America from this one-way construct that’s screwed us while enriching every other nation.
And speaking of liberation, it requires will. Whether that liberation is throwing off the chains of tyranny, slavery or even an abusive relationship, there must be the resolve to never return to the way things were, no matter the difficulties. Pain usually follows for the short term, but the long term freedoms make the temporary hardships worth it.
Trump cautions Americans prices will go up initially, but from this will come an economic boom. The expert economists attack Trump’s plan, but what is their alternative to benefit Americans? And what is the Democrat plan? Senator Cory Booker ranted and raved about Trump for 24 hours, and said nothing about his party’s plan to fix our 30 trillion dollar deficit or to bring jobs back.
Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey
First Trump unleashed DOGE and Elon Musk to expose the fraud nd wasteful spending of our federal bureaucracy, and now Americans are learning of a multi-decade trade deficit. Americans’ eyes are no longer closed to how we’ve reached our current economic state. Democrat minions may be vandalizing Tesla Dealerships but the distraction isn’t working.
Every president since Reagan chose to kick the can down the road while telling us “Nahh… it’ll be fine.” Every president except Trump, that is. He’s a brilliant businessman stepping up and doing the heavy lifting because he loves this country. The least we can do is trust him. After all, he took a bullet for us.
How many times a week do comment to yourself, or others, how far we have fallen as a society? Perhaps this observation is a daily occurrence?
While stopped at an intersection one recent early evening, I noted a lone man in the crosswalk wearing a covid mask. I repeat: he was alone and wearing a mask! Cue head shaking and eyes rolling.
Then, someone sends me this tweet a few days later, ” BRADY BUNCH FAMILY GETS THE MEASLES IN 1969.” Boy, is this video on point. Watch:
What a difference half a century makes. Certainly, there were no such things as safe-spaces or trigger warnings because the culture was, predominantly, mentally tougher 55 years ago.
What caused this change from a culture laughing off once common illnesses, to people now scared for their lives the moment someone coughs or sneezes? I believe it’s America collectively losing the fear of God. I commented on this in my book American Christian: A Treatise of Spiritual, Cultural and Political Discernment. From the chapter titled, “On the Fear of the Lord,”:
“The West has reached the point where it has normalized pathological fear. Perhaps my statement could be construed as over-the-top, but you have only to reflect upon the culture’s obsessive fright over germs (what used to be seasonal maladies, such as the common cold or the flu) to see its accuracy. Fear has crossed from the reasonable to the irrational for an ever-growing number of Americans.” (Bahr, 2023. pg 23-24)
Fear of the Lord does not mean worrying if or when God will smite or punish you for some reason. Scripture actually tells us the fear of the Lord in the beginning of wisdom and, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. (Proverbs 9:10).
If the fear of the Lord (whether in reverence, awe, or dread) is the beginning of wisdom, therefore, no fear of the Lord results in folly, stupidity or irrationality; take your pick.
The Brady Bunch clip featured in this piece came from a time when Americans predominately feared God. The Law and Order: SVU clip , replete with dramatic pearl-clutching doom -and-gloom is from our “enlightened” (sarc) modern times.
Need I say more?
My, how far we have fallen.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, what’s the biggest Disney live action fail of all? It’s official, An opening weekend of just $43 million domestically and $87 million worldwide is spelling disaster for this remake of the beloved 1937 animated movie. The original prognostications for the low end were just $45-50 million, which means , Snow White is even worse than the worse predictions.
As of this writing, the film has a 1.9 rating on IMDB out of a top rating of 10 points. Metacritic gives the movie a 50 critic score (which is not too bad). However, the user score is a disastrous 1.2, an” overwhelming dislike.”
Anyone following Snow Whites’s production in the past couple of years saw this coming because Disney chose to update this classic story for “modern audiences.” This means replacing the charm, humor , and heart of original with a girl boss story of Snow White becoming the leader she was destined to be.
This is epitomized by the film’s insufferable star, Rachel Zegler, who succeeded in pissing off fans of the classic cartoon because she couldn’t shut her big mouth. Check out this infamous interview from 2023.
As I mentioned, if they wanted a Latina Snow White, Selena Gomez would’ve been a better choice. Selena is likable and probably wouldn’t have criticized Snow White like Rachel Zegler. She’s so insufferable. Who’d want to spend money on this? 😂 pic.twitter.com/8mnmQgwL9q
If her smug comments weren’t enough to inspire boycotts, Zegler then disparaged Trump voters. She posted this Tweet after the 2024 Presidential Election, hoping Trump and supporters “never know peace”:
It’s looking like Zegler may be the one not knowing peace. If SNOW WHITE continues to tank, many are predicting she’s done in Hollywood. Wonder if she will whistle while she works… in theater.
Meanwhile, check out this hilarious review by Nerdrotic :
Wake up Canadians. President Trump is not threatening your sovereignty. He’s trying to snap you out of the delusion that everything is fine in your nation: it isn’t.
Trump calling for Canada as the 51st state, is a troll. Seriously, why would Trump make the 51st state a country steeped in socialism? Sorry, but most Canadians would likely vote Democrat to keep their socialized health care benefits, because it’s what they’re used to. That would only hurt America.
Don’t you get that? Trump’s comment followed former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stating any reciprocity in trade with the United States would hurt Canada.
President Donald Trump and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
For decades, Canada slapped huge tariffs on US exports such as a 270 percent tariff on dairy products, for example. In both 2023 and 2024 America imported more from Canada than it exported, resulting in a trade deficit.
Interestingly , America has a trade deficit not only with Canada, but most of the world. Trump is calling for reset.
“AMERICA WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES: The United States is one of the most open economies in the world, yet our trading partners keep their markets closed to our exports. This lack of reciprocity is unfair and contributes to our large and persistent annual trade deficit. There are endless examples where our trading partners do not give the United States reciprocal treatment. The U.S. tariff on ethanol is a mere 2.5%. Yet Brazil charges the U.S. ethanol exports a tariff of 18%. As a result, in 2024, the U.S. imported over $200 million in ethanol from Brazil while the U.S. exported only $52 million in ethanol to Brazil. The U.S. average applied Most Favored Nation (MFN) tariff on agricultural goods is 5%. But India’s average applied MFN tariff is 39%. India also charges a 100% tariff on U.S. motorcycles, while we only charge a 2.4% tariff on Indian motorcycles. The European Union can export all the shellfish it wants to America. But the EU bans shellfish exports from 48 of our states, despite committing in 2020 to expedite approvals for shellfish exports. As a result, in 2023, the U.S. imported $274 million in shellfish from the EU but exported only $38 million. The EU also imposes a 10% tariff on imported cars. Yet the U.S. only imposes a 2.5% tariff. A 2019 report found that across 132 countries and more than 600,000 product lines, United States exporters face higher tariffs more than two-thirds of the time. This lack of reciprocity is one source of America’s large and persistent annual trade deficit in goods: closed markets abroad reduce U.S. exports and open markets at home result in significant imports, both of which undercut American competitiveness. The United States has run a trade deficit of goods every year since 1975. In 2024, our trade deficit in goods exceeded $1 trillion. Thanks to the proliferation of non-reciprocal barriers in just the last few years, the U.S. now runs a trade deficit in agriculture, worth around $40 billion in 2024. Though America has no such thing, and only America should be allowed to tax American firms, trading partners hand American companies a bill for something called a digital service tax. Canada and France use these taxes to each collect over $500 million per year from American companies. Overall, these non-reciprocal taxes cost America’s firms over $2 billion per year. Reciprocal tariffs will bring back fairness and prosperity to the distorted international trade system and stop Americans from being taken advantage of.”
Any change in the one-way benefits from the U.S. Economy means Canada cannot survive. Simply put, Trump said if Canada cannot even put together its own military and defense then it should become America’s 51st state.
Instead of taking offense, my Canadian brothers and sisters, you should be taking inventory. For all your re-ignited patriotism , has it crossed your minds that for a supposed sovereign country , your leaders have made you dependent on another nation for your national defense and economy ?
You’ve become a “pass- through” economy , assembling goods from other countries for distribution in the United States. Get it? Canada , once an industrial rich nation now only puts together other nations’ products.
Wake up Canadians! How can you throw your support for the liberal government that has ruined your country because it considers climate change policy and socialized medicine more important than the people? Are you so gullible as to consider President Trump the source of your problems?
Judicial tyranny, it’s all the Democrats got in their efforts to stop the Trump train. Not surprising, considering they are the party of hate and lawlessness.
Nationwide injunctions by federal district judges are unconstitutional: a blatant assault on the Executive Branch and clear violation of the separation of powers. In just two months, radical leftist judges have issued a record 15 injunctions against Trump efforts to deport murderous illegal aliens, remove waste from federal government and remove trans-athletes from women sports.
This is compared to just 14 for Joe Biden’s entire term, 64 for Trump’s first term, and only 12 for Barack Obama’s entire eight years. Of the 127 injunctions since 1963, Trump has 79 of them.
That number is more than the total against all presidents combined before Trump. They’re desperate , folks.
Trump is such an existential threat to their corrupt business as usual practices in Washington DC, so they gotta pull out the stops. The problem is now they’ve jumped the shark with the sheer volume of judicial pushback. Now, the 77.3 million Trump voters are watching closely.
Trump has the people on his side. Poll after poll has shown approval of everything he is doing . These unelected activist judges are literally thwarting the people’s will.
Trump is rightly ignoring these rulings, causing more apoplexy on the left, which I believe is the goal. Remember, Trump always has a plan.
I’m not privy to any insider information. I’m just a guy typing on his laptop in his office and paying attention.
All you have to do is look at the asymmetric warfare tactics he has engaged the Dems and the Deep State with. He’s attacking their financial pipelines with DOGE, removing their spheres of cultural influence through the shutting down of USAID and the dissolving of the Department of Education.
Does it not figure Trump will decimate these leftist jurists in a similar fashion ? We’re not talking impeachment , but other means the legacy media can’t fathom.
Trump is much more savvy of the Democrat and Deep State tactics than he was in his first term. Don’t doubt for a minute countermeasures aren’t in place.
Of course, he’s counting on the Supreme Court to intervene, once and for all, on this question . However, Trump is smart; he realizes Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett are wobbly .
I’m confident he has one if not several Trump cards in place (pun intended). If so, the Democrats’ judicial tyranny will be just as neutered as their political power. Take heart regarding judicial tyranny, it’s all the Democrats got. The memes say it all.
Thank God for President Trump. If you study history, there’s no doubt God appoints all leaders for specific times . (Daniel 2:21, NKJV). These are men and women, equipped with certain skillsets, strengths and even weaknesses for God’s will and purposes.
Can you imagine just how terrible things would be right now if Kamala Harris won the presidency and the clowns sitting on their hands at President Trump’s Joint Speech to Congress were in absolute power? We’d be done as a nation: plain and simple.
Think about the nearly mortal wounds inflicted on this country under the Biden Presidency. From the wide-open southern border, runaway inflation, rising energy prices, to President Biden demonizing half the country as extremists : metaphorically speaking, every day was another cut, gradually sapping our life away.
The Age of Nonsense, that was the Biden era. An apt term– what with the media’s and government’s obsession of convincing us two plus two equals five. If this term is unfamiliar you can read it’s about it here.
Remember these Orwellian examples of two plus two equal five? America is a nation of immigrants, therefore we must have a wide-open border. The covid lockdowns kept us safe by isolating us from loved ones /friends , decimating intellectual/social milestones for children and nearly destroying the economy. Transgendered men competing in women’s sports or accessing women’s bathrooms is perfectly normal.
Biden’s satanic minions slandered us as evil, racist, misogynist, transphobic, xenophobic, bigots, because we rejected their warped moral arithmetic. They tried to bully us into standing down against their wicked morality
However, all their efforts to break us backfired. How did this happen?
One thing about Dems, overkill consumes them when it comes to their enemies. Their efforts to destroy President Trump, whether through corrupt show trials, an FBI raid of his Mar -A- Lago home, and two assassination attempts exemplified this bloodlust.
A “bipartisan” and crooked unselect January 6 committee was the Deep State’s effort to make a Trump conviction nice and legal-like. Under the guise of saving democracy, the pulled out the stops to brand Trump an insurrectionist . That included possible witness tampering and the destruction of any evidence exonerating Trump.
Except, the opposite happened. Americans saw this onslaught on one man and it re-awakened in them an instinctual revulsion of tyranny.
Not Trump’s base, they never abandoned him. However, once solid Dem constituencies such as black men and latinos broke free of the Democrat matrix. A reality check was happening.
For years these black and brown communities protested abuse at the hands of the law. Now they were seeing that play out against the orange man who the media characterized as a racist. Something didn’t compute , hence the red-pilling of these constituencies.
They noted the abuse of the law against Trump and said to themselves, “Trump may have posted mean tweets, but my bank account was bigger when he was President. Food /utilities were definitely cheaper , America was energy independent and we were respected in the world. Biden reversed all of this.”
And so ushered in this golden era of Common Sense, dismaying the Dems. Through this new lens, former Dem supporters now a see a political party losing their minds over the lawful deportation of murderous illegal-alien gang-bangers and willing to die on the hill of transgenderism.
I recently wrote of the Dems as the real party of hate. Their Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) has unmasked their loathing of America and this vitriol is literally driving them mad.
God is exposing them for all to see through their TDS. All I can say is, thank God for President Trump.
What is it about the Democrat Party’s hatred of guns and the coddling of criminals? AB 1333, a dangerous 2nd Amendment attack proves this.
Assembly Bill 1333 could restrict private citizens’ ability to protect themselves and loved ones from violent criminals. California actually has in place the “no duty to retreat” rule which makes it easier to assert self-defense in court.
AB 1333 would severely hamper this legality ,calling for law-abiding citizens, protecting family and property, to retreat before using appropriate force . The bill protects the bad guys by criminalizing any actions of self defense on the part of victims.
Only in California.
Assemblyman Rick Chavez Zbur (D) 51st District
Zbur has been backtracking lately, claiming he did not intend for the bill to infringe upon self defense rights and insisting the legislation would get further clarification. Keep in mind his verbal about-face comes after massive public backlash.
“Can you have stop and frisk on a criminal in the middle of them breaking in if they have a bat and I have a gun?” asked 8th District Assemblyman David Tangipa, a Republican in an interview with KMPH-TV.
“If that person has a bat, I almost have to allow them to hit me first to then prove that they had the intent to kill me,” Tangipa said, “and that is unacceptable. And not only that, it steps on our Second Amendment rights. If you can’t be safe in your own home, where can you flee to?”
Despite their protestations to the contrary, Democrats, like Zbur, have a reflexive disdain for the Second Amendment . Their proposals are always attempts to stack the deck against law-abiding citizens while making life easier for the criminal.
This is why voters must throw the Dems out of office at every opportunity. Liberal politicians swear an oath to defend the Constitution, but their actions are always the opposite of their words.
In fact, we should figure that whatever leftists claim they will uphold or defend, we should naturally assume the opposite.
For instance, if the libs say they will “defend”, then we must determine they really mean “attack”, “abandon” or “betray”. I say determine , not assume, because this is giving them the benefit of the doubt, which they no longer deserve.
For now Californians, contact your assemblyperson and urge their opposition to this bill, currently awaiting a hearing and consideration by committee. You can search for your assembly rep at this link, https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov
The headline of President Donald Trump’ joint session of Congress speech is obvious: Trump exposes Democrats as the party of hate.
First of all , President Trump knocked this speech out of the park. It’s probably one of the best addresses he has ever given. Trump was inspiring, warm, funny and truthful, including this best one liner of the night.
There was no moderation of the message by Trump, a refreshing change from the Bushes and reminiscent of Ronald Reagan. In fact, Trump may have even surpassed Reagan. Before you jump my case, keep in mind, Reagan is one of my top five presidents.
Trump did something in his speech that Reagan couldn’t accomplish definitively: he made the Dems irrelevant.
The photo says it all: a petty , demoralized group of partisans , exhibiting a hive-mind mentality. As for the auction signs… absolutely pathetic.
Seriously ,the Dems looked bad. They were glum, dour and scowling, throughout the entire speech.
Democrat Al Green is removed by the Sergeant at Arms for refusing to maintain order in the US Capitol during President Trump's address to Congress.
Of course this paled in comparison to the Sgt. at Arms having to remove Texas Congressman Al Green after his shameful attempt to shout down President Trump . In thirty years of watching addresses to the nation, Green’s behavior was historic in its crassness.
And why does this guy have to share the name of my all-time favorite R&B artist?The superstar Al Green sang about love and happiness, two emotions estranged from his unhinged namesake and from today’s Democrat Party.
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
The Democrat Party is Godless. They may deny this angrily, but it is precisely that anger revealing this void. The eyes reveal it and so do their glaring, unsmiling faces. Scripture warns us about a heart engulfed in hate.
But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.–1 John 2:11 (NKJV)
Hate poisons the heart, corrupting any right moral judgement. Any decent person would have told Green to sit down and shut-up, but the Dems stayed silent, condoning his disruptive behavior.
Americans not only noted this hushed agreement with Green, they also observed the only applause from the Donkey party was in favor of continuing the war in Ukraine for at least another five years. Trump hilariously pointed this out with Sen. Elizabeth Warren .

They couldn’t even be bothered to stand in support for the families ,whose children were murdered by illegal aliens. Bitterness kept the Dems sitting on their hands when President Trump made a young brain cancer survivor an honorary secret service agent,and when he announced to a young man his acceptance at West Point.
Most Americans watching were touched by the people presented by the President during this joint session speech. What a shame that narcissism prevents the Dems from celebrating anything uplifting or worthwhile about the USA. This is what happens when you’re the party of hate.
Hard to believe it’s been over a month since President Trump’s inauguration on January 20. The world is changing , therefore Trump will no doubt have plenty to say in this speech before a joint session of Congress. Watch
This is not a State of the Union Speech, since that is usually a recap of the President’s past year in office. Although , President Trump has already done more for the people in America in nearly two months, than Joe Biden did in four years.
Nevertheless, Democrats are treating the address like a State of the Union Speech . Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin, a former CIA operative, will be delivering the rebuttal .
You’ve no doubt been following the President Trump and President Zelensky blow-up. I’m not going to waste time rehashing it. What I will say is this what transparency looks like.
Americans got to witness up close and personal President Trump and Vice President JD Vance standing up for the people and the true President Volodymyr Zelensky , minus the previous media narrative.
For years, we’ve heard the narrative of Ukraine standing against Vladimir Putin-led Russia as a fight for Democracy and Zelensky as the heroic wartime president . The media and Biden Administration incessantly reminded us how important it was for America to keep sending money and weapons to defend Ukraine.
The same Zelensky arrived in Washington for what Trump assumed was an agreement for American access to Ukraine’s rare earth minerals. as a precursor to a ceasefire and peace with Russia. Instead, Zelensky torpedoed the deal with new requirements causing this now famous back and forth between Trump, Vance and Zelensky cued :
Sure, the heated discussion was like watching a traffic accident playing out, but the clarity is good for the American people. People not only got to see the closed-door discussions usually hidden from the public, they also got to see the real Zelensky as a petulant little man unconcerned with peace.
Trump has blown-up the media-manufactured Zelensky with his throwing him out of the White House. The media is trying their best to portray Trump and Vance as the bully bad guys, but the public isn’t falling for it. Yes, this is what transparency looks like.
DOGE has become Democrat. kryptonite. The agency is literally showing all Dem power and influence is illusory.
In Superman lore, kryptonite are fragments of Superman’s home world, Krypton. These irradiated pieces of the planet can weaken and even kill the Man of Steel.
Now please don’t think for a minute I am equating the Dems with Superman. While he stands for truth, justice and the American way, the Dems and Deep State are the complete opposite.
The fraud and waste Elon Musk and company are illuminating with DOGE is weakening the Democrat Party and the Deep State. Most taxpaying Americans are righteously angry at such United States Agency for International Development (USAID) expenditures as $47 thousand for a transgender opera in Columbia, over $5 million for gay rights in Uganda, or $17 million for “inclusion” in Vietnam.
Elon Musk presenting chainsaw given to him by Argentinian President Javier Milei
Some are speculating we are witnessing the exposure of an elaborate money-laundering system through DOGE’s initial audit of USAID. Democrats aren’t the least bit pissed off about this defrauding of the US taxpayer. Nahh… they’re instead raging at Elon for his revelations.
Senator Corey Booker defending USAID
You know what DOGE is presenting for everyone to see? Nothing is genuine or organic about Democrat power. The party manufactures, gaslights, and pays for everything.
For instance, DOGE exposed USAID giving millions of dollars to over 600 journalists and over 700 news outlets throughout the world.
–$50 million from various government sources. Nearly $30 million from Health and Human Services.
Politico
–Over $34 million dollars from various government agencies. Guess who also broke the story of the 51 intelligence operatives claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation? That’s right , the Politico.
Associated Press
— Nearly $20 million in government contracts, over $600 thousand in Deparment of State grants, with funding spikes in 2020 and 2024
REUTERS:
–$9 million from the Department of Defense for “Active Social Engineering Defense and Large Scale Social Deception” ?
$220,000 from the Department of State just last year.
BBC:
— British Broadcasting Corporation not only got $3 million from American taxpayers , Bill Gates also donated $20 million. Yeah, that Bill Gates.
It’s no surprise why media repeats the same narratives from the same angles worldwide.
And since USAID was first in DOGE’s crosshairs, now the Dems are in full-blown meltdown. Trump Derangement Syndrome or is it now Musk Madness , has them so discombobulated, they don’t realize how out of touch they appear to the American public.
What has been done in secret since is no longer hidden from the American people. It reminds me of Luke 8:17:
“For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.”(NKJV)
Everything about the left is bought and paid for according to these revelations. President Trump’s got the receipts for US taxpayers. Just think, we’re only nearing six weeks of this administration. Can you imagine what voters will learn in the next six months?
Btw, the Democrat kryptonite isn’t DOGE, it’s truth. Like the green rock to Superman, Democrats hate the truth because they wither under its power.
And so another nominee to President Trump’s cabinet takes office, as Kash Patel is sworn in as FBI Director.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi carried out the swearing in ceremony Friday , with Patel’s wife and children present . Watch his full speech:
The Senate confirmed Patel by a vote of 51-49. Republicans Lisa Murkowski (Ak) and Susan Collins (ME) voted no. Mitch McConnell who vote against every other high profile Trump nominee , voted yes for Patel.
And he said to them,” Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. Mark 15-16.
Our primary Christian duty is to carry out the Great Commission. We are to call people to repentance and salvation by preaching Christ to the world. We are to preach Christ, crucified and resurrected.
Jesus did not come into the temporal, fully man and fully God to make the world a better place through peace and unity. You wouldn’t know that based on the shaky doctrine taught in most mainstream denominations , but the Bible backs this up.
“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to ‘set[a] a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’–Matthew 10:34-36 (NKJV)
Preaching Christ means not only rejection from the world, but also from one’s own family members. The problem is the world is in darkness and hates the light.
And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”– John 3:19-21
Christians reflect the light of Jesus when they seek Him with all heart, mind and strength . We become a beacon in a world of darkness.
Satan has annexed many former houses of worship into his kingdom.. You can tell these places because there is no fear of God and therefore, no wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). These churches ignore the authority of Scripture, picking and choosing verses to fit their agenda. They don’t preach repentance and salvation, but instead, prosperity, or being the best person you can be. The Apostle Paul warned of these times in 2 Timothy 4:3-4:
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
False doctrine are ideas adding to, reducing , perverting or nullifying God’s Word. False teachers deviate from scripture, denying Holy truths about God and leading the deceived from Christ, to hell.
But the lost sinner does not know this. Their rationale for seeking a church is a place with nice people, a positive message, and convenience. They hear, without discernment, the sermon of the liberal male, female or gay pastor telling them sin is merely a state of mind and that Christ welcomes everyone.
Lies like those, are why God-fearing Christians must be vigorous and unyielding in our testimony about the one true Christ. Sinners must hear why God sent Jesus to ransom them from Satan’s bondage.
Telling the truth in a time of widespread deception is the ultimate rebellion; but so be it. As Christians we are in , but not of the world (John 15:18-19), therefore, we must preach Christ whenever the Holy Spirit prompts us.
“It’s not revenge he’s after. It’s a reckoning.” Doc Holiday, from the movieTombstone (1993)
President Donald Trump is not seeking revenge on Democrats, RINO’s and the Deep State, he’s moving toward a reckoning. Believe it.
Merriam Webster Dictionary describes a day of reckoning as:
a time when the consequences of a course of mistakes or misdeeds are felt
Democrats sense that day is coming. Look at their panic over the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) audit findings of fraud and waste in departments such as USAID and FEMA.
Musk recently mentioned in an Oval Office press conference, a cursory DOGE examination of the Social Security Administration revealing payments going to 150-year-old recipients. Watch the left go Defcon 1 level bananas when that full audit is launched.
Meanwhile, note Obama-appointed federal judges countermanding Trump’s Executive Orders. Can we say, bad optics?
First, the Dems look like raving fools defending government waste instead of siding with taxpayers. Second, as Vice President JD Vance rightly tweeted , judges are trying to control the president. In his tweet, Vance also cited Harvard Law Professor Adrian Vermeule who says:
“Judicial interference with legitimate acts of state, especially the internal functioning of a co-equal branch, is a violation of the separation of powers.”
Senator Tom Cotton succinctly echoed this outrage in another tweet:
Outrageous. Obama Judge Paul Engelmayer didn’t just bar Elon Musk and DOGE from Treasury systems, he barred the Secretary of the Treasury himself. Without citing a single law or even allowing Trump admin to appear in court! This outlaw should be reversed immediately and Engelmayer should be forbidden by higher courts from ever hearing another case against the Trump admin.
Put simply, judges are to interpret the law, not micromanage the executive actions of a President. In the same way, a president cannot dictate how a judge is to interpret the law.
“But, but… Elon Musk and DOGE are causing a Constitutional crisis!” the Dems shriek. “Musk and his hackers, led by ‘Big Balls’, are a threat to the people’s private information!”
Ok, but riddle me this? When is the last time you heard the Dems expressing such righteous concern over people’s data? Remember all those Congressional hearings the Dems called for every time a major data breach occurred? Oh, that’s right, there weren’t any.
Dems are using, against Elon, the Saul Alinsky tactic of picking a target, freezing it, personalizing it and polarizing it. Media echo chamber aside, it’s not working.
Despite the media’s efforts to demonize Trump, voters gave him both the electoral college and popular vote in his landslide .
Elon backed Trump after the Butler Pennsylvania assassination attempt. A prominent fixture at Trump rallies, voters enthusiastically welcomed Musk’s support.
Therefore, Dems, a majority elected Trump. By default, they also support the talented individuals– like Elon, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, Kash Patel, etc.– Trump wants to carry out his policies and to keep his promises to the people.
But you wouldn’t know about putting the people first. Your loyalties are to a corrupt system that fleeces the taxpayer, while enriching yourselves.
Unfortunately, that corrupt system also extends to activist federal judges blocking the people’s efforts of upending the status quo of fraud and graft. This corruption is what’s really unconstitutional, not DOGE informing the people of government fraud and waste.
Trump could rightly ignore the federal rulings and may do so. He could also use the bully pulpit to suggest Congress impeach these judges. That’s a possibility. However, it appears Trump wants the Supreme Court to decide this.
On paper, the appeal looks like a constitutional slam dunk for SCOTUS where this issue of jurisdiction could be decided once and for all. Everyone’s got a pretty good idea where the libs on the court will fall on the matter. The wild card is Chief Justice John Roberts, and to a lesser degree, Justice Amy Coney Barrett. But, we’ll see.
Meanwhile, Trump’s m.o. is to work within the rule of law instead of subverting it as the Democrats do. Will the law come in the form of a SCOTUS slap down, Congressional impeachment and conviction in the Senate, or will Trump simply ignore the rulings?
Either way, Trump’s got the law as his weapon of reckoning, and that’s what’s scaring the hell out of Democrats.
Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F Kennedy’s confirmation as the Director of National Intelligence and Sec. of Health and Human Services, respectively, was never in doubt, Imho. Democrats delayed the process because it’s all they have.
Attorney General Pam Bondi swore in Gabbard in her official role as DNI after President Donald Trump’s introduction.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) is a position created by the Patriot Act after the 9-11 terrorist attack. On paper, the DNI serves as the head of the 18 intelligence agencies and serves as a principal advisor to the President.
Historically, Democrat Presidents have had little use for the department. President Barack Obama, in his effort to weaponize intelligence agencies for his purposes, appointed the clueless idiot James Clapper as a figurehead.
President Trump’s first DNI, Dan Coats, was aDeepState asset, who tried to undermine Trump at every turn. Richard Grenell, and later John Ratcliffe who is now the head of the CIA, took Coats’ place. Both Grenell and Ratcliffe spent their time protecting Trump from the Deep State loyalists in the various intelligence agencies trying to sandbag his policies.
Avril Haines served as Biden’s DNI. Never heard of her until researching this post. Haines (of course) made history as the first woman appointed to the role (whatever).
Other than her confirmation process, Haines’ press is sparse. I think it’s safe to assume she was just another cog in the incompetent machine that was the Biden Administration.
Gabbard has the opportunity to carry out the duties of the DNI as originally intended by the Patriot Act. I’m thinking under Trump this will be the case.
Like Gabbard, RFK Jr. endured a bruising confirmation process. He will be the first Health and Human Services Secretary not a sycophant of Big Pharma as he takes over for Biden HHS Sec. Dr. Rachel Levine (the less said about the this doctor, the better).
Kennedy, a proponent of vaccines , is nonetheless skeptical of the ages of when children should first have the jabs. He believes objective research should truthfully reveal any and all side effects of vaccines and other medications.
Democrats continue to slander Kennedy as staunchly anti-vax which is a blatant lie.
RFK, Jr resonates with Trump supporters because he dares ask why are more Americans chronically ill and why has childhood autism risen exponentially? Making American Healthy Again (MAHA) is his mission.
Supreme Justice Neil Gorsuch swore in RFK, Jr. Watch Kennedy’s speech in full here:
BTW, what do Gabbard, RFK, Jr and Pete Hegeseth all have in common? Republican Mitch McConnell voted against all of them.
I’m thinking we can add Kash Patel and Linda McMahon to that list when they are finally confirmed to FBI Director and United States Education Secretary. This will occur after Democrats can no longer drag out the confirmation process and without McConnell’s vote.
To say that Democrats are unraveling over USAID revelations in a headline is an understatement. They’re outraged, not at the waste of taxpayer funds revealed by Department of Government Efficiency, but at DOGE for exposing it.

And get this, the radicals at USAID were even bankrolling leftist leaning news outlets, including Politico. President Donald Trump pointed this out in his usual style at the National Prayer Breakfast.
Trump on USAID: Did you see what happened-they found millions of dollars given to newspapers and POLITICO? They're here. I hope you're enjoying your breakfast 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/iTu6FUqFCu
Discombobulated ? That definitely explains Sen. Cory Booker’s meltdown after DOGE’s revelation of waste by USAID.
Cory Booker is having an absolute meltdown because we don't want American tax dollars to be wasted on bizarre projects in foreign countries.pic.twitter.com/fWFREttcEh
Methinks the left doth protest too much. Their unhinged reaction tells you all you need to know about the importance of USAID to leftist causes and strategies.
The Dems’ collective rage may have distracted in the past , but Trump’s return to the presidency has sparked a cultural shift. All their tantrums are doing now is further opening the public’s eyes to USAID as political influence operation of the CIA and State Department, and a massive money laundering source . Natalie Winters succinctly describes this process.
The secrecy of the USAID grant database is by design.
Look up the addresses of entities receiving millions of dollars on Google maps and you’ll find shacks or empty land.
Leftists are in panic mode. Why else would Samantha Power go on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert to gaslight USAID as this benign and benevolent entity that saves lives? Check out this clip from X. You can Watch the entire interview on YouTube.
Outgoing USAID @SamanthaJPower: "[USAID] is an investment in our stability, security & alliances …
"Programs that we’re running, the people we’re depending on, in some cases, for life-saving medicine, like medicine, if you have HIV, that keeps you alive, quite literally. Or if… pic.twitter.com/1jpcKevvdu
Why do leftist women always look so pissed off? But I digress.
Late Show Host Stephen Colbert has no idea what he is talking about. Defunding USAID is not unconstitutional.
Colbert is correct when he said USAID was created by President John F. Kennedy. However he left out an important detail of Kennedy creating USAID by Executive Order.
Why is this important? Executive Orders of one president can be undone by an EO of another president. Executive Orders usually last the term of the president , that Kennedy’s lasted for over 60 years means both parties benefitted from this department in one way or another.
Speaking of EO ‘s , President Trump’s rapid policy blitz is driving the left bonkers. Piece by piece, Trump is methodically dismantling the silos of Democrat influences.
Crews removing the signage from the building that housed USAID is symbolic of this process of defunding the left, removing spheres of propaganda and dismantling the Deep State.
MAGA is in full throttle and its only been three weeks since President Trump’ s inauguration. Frankly, it’s both hilarious and glorious to witness.
If there is one consistency in the Senate confirmation hearings of Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., it is their poise in the face of desperation.
Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr
Senate Dems look bad in these hearings. I mean B.A.D!
RFK JR: You're asking me not to sue pharma companies!
WARREN: No. I. am. not!!! My question is stop enriching!!

Whatever doubts about the UniParty as shills for Big Pharma, the military-industrial complex, the intelligence community and globalists are gone. Their Democrats’ dedication is not protecting the American people, but maintaining the narrative of January 6 as an existential threat to democracy, benign forced vaccines and an above -board 2020 Presidential Election.
Rude, condescending, and petulant is not a good look in a political reality where nearly 60 percent of the American public disapprove of the Democrat Party.
Trump won in a landslide, both the Electoral College and the popular vote. A majority of the American people want Trump to turn this country around.
Dem /RINO feigned histrionics and moral outrage is falling on deaf ears. Simply put, the American public believes President Trump should have his nominees in place to do the job they elected him for.
Contributing to this futility? The public believes Dems, the UnParty and legacy media, lie. That’s a huge cultural shift.
It’s not just we who know this, but also RFK, Jr, Patel and Gabbard. You can see it in their faces , amused by the desperate interrogations of the UniParty.
They’re neither flustered nor unsettled. The well-worn tactics of UniParty hacks demanding a yes-or no answer and never giving the nominee an opportunity to respond have become a worn-out schtick.
RFK, Jr calls Bernie Sanders Big Pharma shill and leaves a mark:
RFK Jr. calls out Sanders in front of everyone 😂
"Bernie, you have accepted millions of dollars from the Pharmaceutical industry. In 2020 you were the single largest receiver of Pharmaceutical dollars. $1.5M"
And Gabbard the evokes the serpentine mannerisms of Senator Mark Warner (watch this guy’s tongue, btw) :
These are just a few examples of the pathetic stature of Democrats and the Uniparty during these hearings. Their desperation is magnified in light of the nominees’ poise.
And what is the source of such distress? You know it as fear and it’s oozing from every pore of the UniParty.
To quote the legacy media, “the walls are closing in” on the UniParty/Deep State . Keep pressing in with prayer: the Dems and the UniParty are becoming unhinged and unglued before everyone.
Meanwhile, remember this mockingbird media classic compilation ?
Captain America shouldn’t represent America? That’s what Captain America :Brave New World star, Anthony Mackie said in a recent European interview.
Anthony Mackie as Captain America
As of this writing, Marvel Studios is in major damage control mode.
Mackie released this statement after the backlash:
Hey @AnthonyMackie this seems insincere and reads like it was written by a publicist and I suspect @MarvelStudios demanded you release it to try to avoid 77 million proud Americans putting this movie on their do not watch list. pic.twitter.com/1QEGQT5Tug
“For me Captain America represents a lot of different things and I don’t think the term, you know, America should be one of those representations. Like, uh, it’s about a man who keeps his word, who has honor , dignity and integrity…”
Woke actor Anthony Mackie says Captain America should not represent America:
“He represents a lot of different things & I don’t think the term ‘America’ should be one of those representations.”
Mr. Mackie, the character’s name is Captain America and besides that, he wears a costume based on the American flag. How can you expect him not to represent the country?
The character debuted in World War 2 punching out a certain Nazi dictator on the cover of his first comic issue and has stood and fought for American ideals ever since.
Either Mackie felt he had to say this in front of a European audience to promote the film, or this is what he really thinks. Whatever the case, this guy who plays the title role of, who I like to call, “Captain African-American”, has given the viewing public yet another reason not to waste their money on this movie.
Captain America : Brave New World has gone through multiple re-shoots due to disastrous test screenings and is experiencing underwhelming advance ticket sales. In other words, insiders expect another Disney movie flop.
The problem with the movie is it features Captain America, but without Steve Rogers, the one and only Star Spangled Avenger. Mackie was originally The Falcon in the Marvel Universe, a historical character as Marvel Comics’ second black superhero.
Frankly, Marvel messed up passing Captain America’s shield to Sam Wilson/aka The Falcon. He was a perfectly fine and likable character in his own right. Why make him a hand-me-down hero?
Yes Sam Wilson became Cap in the comics, back in the 2010’s but sales tanked on the book .
Sam Wilson as Captain America
Woke politics caused Marvel to virtue signal, race-swapping the character. Fans hated the change, voicing Cap should have passed the mantle to Bucky,/The Winter Soldier his friend from World War 2 who, like Rogers was enhanced by the super soldier serum.
Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/ The Winter Soldier
Bucky was a more successful Captain America in the comics because of the dynamic of him once being the brainwashed assassin, the Winter Soldier.
Bucky Barnes as Captain America
The problem most fans have with the new Captain America is he doesn’t have super strength. He just a regular guy with mechanical wings.
Anthony Mackie is a likable actor, but, sorry, he’s best as a supporting actor, not a leading man. Marvel knows this which is why Red Hulk is in the movie to boost ticket sales. At least that what Marvel execs are hoping.
But now those hopes are waning with Mackie’s ill-advised comments.
Captain America : Brave New World is scheduled for release during Black History Month (coincidence?) on February 14.
In case you’re wondering who is Susie Wiles? She is President Trump’s Chief of Staff who advises him on policy issues one of the most important duties of the chief is maintaining the flow of information.
In one his first Executive Orders, President Trump pardoned and/or commuted the sentences of 1500 J6 protestors, most of whom committed the “crime” of protesting the results of a questionable 2020 Presidential Election.
Michael Shane Daughtry tells his story as a J6 survivor and it is a shocking story of corruption and tyranny. You must read this account in its unsettling entirety.
My name is Michael Shane Daughtry and this is my January 6th Story.
I was a Police Officer with SWAT and Sniper Certifications, 20+ years Police experience and over a thousand hours of training. I'm also a Master Gunsmith with a Federal Firearms License and a Gunsmithing…
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles pictured with President Donald Trump
Hopefully, Chief of Staff Wiles directs President Trump to this story, if she has not already done so. Trump needs to exact justice in the form of investigations, arrests, convictions, lawsuits and mass firings of corrupt government and law-enforcement officials.
Dems and RINO’s say J6 was one of the darkest days in our country’s history. They were right, but not for the “threat to democracy” narrative they tried to push.
What J6 illustrates is government’s ability to trample over all of your Constitutional rights when its full weight is unleashed on innocent citizens.
What happened to the J6ers can easily happen to any of us in America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. That’s a scary reality.
Trump must expose every sordid detail of how government entrapped and abused these patriotic citizens. This must never happen again.
This is why President Trump is a leader and Democrats are profiles in failure. Trump calls out LA Mayor Karen Bass over wildfire recovery delays during a live press conference.
In her best liberalese, Bass touted how city and county officials are partnering up to streamline the bureaucracy for desperate homeowners. “We’re doing everything we can , slashing regulations…so you can get rebuilding asap. ”
Bass cited hazardous materials concern as a delay for clearing the lots. That’s code for hazardous waste/environmental cleanup, which means companies bidding, leading to longer delays. Trump, because he’s a builder, immediately called B.S. Watch:
So what is the timeline Mayor Bass? Is it 18 months , six months or what? Trump told Bass and the press, several people told him rebuilding could not start for 18 months, which she vehemently denied.
Watch the video again . Did you notice how Mayor Bass left herself wiggle room with her answers not committing to definite timeline?
She then gives the answer that justifies liberal mission creep and every extra added expense: “We’re going to move as fast as we can, but we want you to be safe.”
Funny how this worry for “safety” comes after revelations of poor forest mitigation, lack of controlled burns and making sure reservoirs and fire hydrants were filled. Now safety is a concern when people are itching to clean up and begin the rebuilding process?
That call for safety is how liberalism infantilizes people and takes away their inborn desire for self-reliance and self-sufficiency. Trump calling for the common sense solution of government getting out of the way is a sharp contrast to the Democrat mantra of government will take care of you.
What do you get with a twice elected president, enduring a “sermon” by a woke bishop ? You get a woke National Prayer Service.
For decades, the tradition in Washington DC has the newly inaugurated president attending the National Prayer Service.
Forget about prayers in the name of Jesus for the country and the President. This year, President Trump instead got a lecture on mercy for LGBTQ and illegal immigrants.
Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington DC and the first woman to hold the position, took the last two minutes of her “sermon” pleading for Trump to have “mercy” on the LGBTQ community and illegal immigrants frightened by his re-election. Watch:
Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. She's the first woman to hold the position.
She was given a great honor today, a chance to unify America around a Christian message at the dawn of a new administration. Instead, she disgraced… pic.twitter.com/IFA6a3nZno
I have to give President Trump credit for not walking out of the service . That’s the first thing I would have done.
No, Bishop Budde, if the rainbow crowd is scared, it’s because leftists like you are fanning the flames.
No doubt the First and Second family were blindsided by this shameful sermon. Nothing like expecting Biblical truth and getting Democrat talking points in its place. The question is how did Trump’s team not anticipate the likely message from this leftist?
The Episcopalian Church may profess believing in and following the teachings of Jesus Christ, but they have shoehorned the Savior of the World into the gospel of leftist politics and culture.
The President’s team definitely should have screened this clergyperson, especially since the Episcopalian Church is highly political.
This denomination has fractured in recent years because of pedal- to-the- metal support of ordaining homosexual clergy, officiating same-sex marriage and supporting abortion rights. Diversity and inclusion are its tenets, not repentance of sin and surrender to Christ as Lord and Savior . Budde’s diatribe brings to mind 2 Peter 2:1 (NKJV):
But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.
Perhaps clergy like her are why the Bible prohibits females as pastors, as the Apostle Paul said in 1 Tim. 2:12:
And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
A reporter tried to play gotcha after the service only to have President Trump turn the tables. Watch:
When reporters asked Trump what he thought of the National Prayer Service:
“Not too exciting, was it? I didn't think it was a good service, no. They can do much better."
All of the LGBTQRSTVWXYZ clergy freaks preaching their personal theological opinions at the pulpit, need… pic.twitter.com/Uo1gNtz6KW
Where was scripture in this sermon? Sure, Budde mentioned God, but only as a cudgel in her attempt to shame President Trump.
Budde’s lecture is , of course viral. Yes, she has plenty of supporters, but also many detractors.
Trump is demanding an apology, rightly so. Budde told NPR Wednesday she refuses to apologize.
In my research, I discovered the National Cathedral is part of the Episcopal Church. Because of the liberal politics of the denomination which I detailed earlier, President Trump would do well to simply boycott all services at the National Cathedral and designate another more Biblically sound church for national prayer and services.
Hours after Joe Biden issued questionable preemptive pardons, President Donald Trump follows through on a campaign promise, pardoning J6 political prisoners. Yes, all 1500 of them.
Hey Jan 6 th committee put this in your pipe and smoke it.
Trump virtually pardoned all the protestors but commuted the sentences of the remaining 14. He has ordered the immediate release of these American hostages.
The President’s executive order ends four years of imprisonment for these patriots, incarcerated for protesting the results of the 2020 Presidential Election.
How ironic the releases come hours after outgoing President Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons for members of the J6 committee, Dr . Anthony Fauci, Former Gen. Mark Milley, and for members of his own family.
That Biden pardoned J6 committee members without any formal charges brought, indicates the dubiousness of their investigation. Even though it had access to it, the committee never saw footage like this of police shooting concussion grenades and pepper spray into a peacefully protesting crowd.
What led to the storming of the US Capitol on January 6th? #FollowTheTimeline
The Uniparty pushed the narrative the protestors committed an insurrection, an attack on Democracy. It appears the Feds violated the Constitutional rights of these men and women.
Trump would not have pardoned them if this wasn’t the case on Liberation Day, January 20, 2025. Their lives were ruined, livelihoods destroyed, reputations tarnished and worst of all, these Americans were separated from loved ones for Biden’s entire term.
“January 20, 2025 is Liberation day” an awesome line from President Trump’s liberating second inaugural speech. Trump’s sincere earnestness and the lack of empty platitudes was a standout.
Video cued to 8:09 , but watch the speech in its entirety.
As President Trump laid out the challenges Americans face, due the abject failure of the Biden Administration, I could not help but think of the level of damage done.
If anyone’s suited for this mission it’s Donald J. Trump. I believe God has appointed him for this very task.
We must cover President Trump with our prayers daily.
Do not become slack. The greatness of this country rests in God-fearing people, not in a single president. Our job is to pray in Jesus’ name for our leaders, families, neighbors and for the United States of America.
God willing, we have four years to get this right so JD Vance can continue for another two terms and his vice president for another eight years after.
President Donald J. Trump takes the oath of office as he is sworn in by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts: Watch
Was it me or did Justice Roberts seem to rush things?
Watch the video again.
Roberts started the swearing in before Melania was in place with Bible and the family gathering together. I didn’t notice this when first viewing the ceremony with friends.
At least from this angle, it appears Trump, the 45th and now 47th President, never got a chance to place his left hand on the Bible.(hat tip the Conservative Treehouse)
As an aside, notice the contrast of Trump and family with the flag in the background, while the leftist cabal’s background is blank. I can hear Biden saying “A … picture speaks a thousand (mumbling illegibly)… you know the rest.”
They were all faithful servants to the Democrat machine. Now comes their reward.
Fauci’s policies destroyed millions of lives, bankrupted thousands of businesses, and unnecessarily killed millions around the world.
Liz Cheney, who is currently under investigation by the US House of Representatives, knowingly lied about January 6 and President Trump’s actions that day.
Here’s Biden’s statement:
“Our nation relies on dedicated, selfless public servants every day. They are the lifeblood of our democracy.
Yet alarmingly, public servants have been subjected to ongoing threats and intimidation for faithfully discharging their duties.
In certain cases, some have even been threatened with criminal prosecutions, including General Mark A. Milley, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, and the members and staff of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. These public servants have served our nation with honor and distinction and do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions.
General Milley served our nation for more than 40 years, serving in multiple command and leadership posts and deploying to some of the most dangerous parts of the world to protect and defend democracy. As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he guided our Armed Forces through complex global security threats and strengthened our existing alliances while forging new ones.
For more than half a century, Dr. Fauci served our country. He saved countless lives by managing the government’s response to pressing health crises, including HIV/AIDS, as well as the Ebola and Zika viruses. During his tenure as my Chief Medical Advisor, he helped the country tackle a once-in-a-century pandemic. The United States is safer and healthier because of him.
On January 6, 2021, American democracy was tested when a mob of insurrectionists attacked the Capitol in an attempt to overturn a fair and free election by force and violence. In light of the significance of that day, Congress established the bipartisan Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol to investigate and report upon the facts, circumstances, and causes of the insurrection. The Select Committee fulfilled this mission with integrity and a commitment to discovering the truth. Rather than accept accountability, those who perpetrated the January 6th attack have taken every opportunity to undermine and intimidate those who participated in the Select Committee in an attempt to rewrite history, erase the stain of January 6th for partisan gain, and seek revenge, including by threatening criminal prosecutions.
I believe in the rule of law, and I am optimistic that the strength of our legal institutions will ultimately prevail over politics. But these are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing. Baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety, and financial security of targeted individuals and their families. Even when individuals have done nothing wrong-and in fact have done the right thing-and will ultimately be exonerated, the mere fact of being investigated or prosecuted can irreparably damage reputations and finances.
That is why I am exercising my authority under the Constitution to pardon General Mark A. Milley, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the Members of Congress and staff who served on the Select Committee, and the U.S. Capitol and D.C. Metropolitan police officers who testified before the Select Committee. The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense. Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country.”
I’m no legal expert here , but isn’t Biden implying these people committed crimes? Why would you need a pardon if you are innocent?
We’ll see how President Trump handles this and whether the Supreme Court weighs in. President Gerald Ford did pardon President Richard Nixon during the Watergate affair in 1974. However Congress was holding impeachment hearings against Nixon , who later resigned from office.
Here’s to hoping Trump administration officials release information showing the 2020 election, stolen, therefore, declaring Biden and his administration as illegitimate. Imagine the exploding heads if that happened.
Remember as a kid that excitement for Christmas? That’s describes the night before Donald Trump’s inauguration: the eve of a new golden age.
The long nightmare of the Joe Biden Presidency ends tomorrow, January 20th, when President Trump places his hand on the Bible for the second time as the 47th President of the United States. Unlike his predecessor, he will sincerely carry out the text of the oath of office listed below:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
We heard a lot about “democracy” during the last four years, but nothing about the Constitution of the United States. Biden and the Democrats did little to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, choosing , instead, to make a mockery of our founding document.
Who can forget the Covid lockdowns, the intentional opening of the southern border and the weaponization of the Department of Justice against Trump, just to name a few Biden infamies?
I don’t wish want to recount all the unconstitutional actions of the worst administration in the history of the modern era ( if not the history of the United States). Let’s focus on what we’ve achieved.
You made history on November 5. You rose to the occasion and took back the country at the ballot box. In doing so, you destroyed the legacy media and made the Democrat Party the weakest it has been in a generation.
Freedom prevailed because it’s inherent in our DNA. Patriotic Americans are wired to hate bullies and dictators, which is what the Democrat Party has become.
The horror of Biden’s tenure red-pilled millions of Americas, awaking them from their apathetic stupor. What’s been the result? The realization that it’s not only Democrats destroying America, but also RINOs, both forming a Uniparty.
The lightning rod for all of this exposure has been none other than President Trump.
Trump is that rare figure in history who inspires others through courage, love of country and blunt honesty. Witnessing the full weight of government thrown against this man ,via an FBI a raid on his home, Soviet style show-trials, a mugshot, and two assassination attempts, rekindled the fire natural in the hearts of patriots: a visceral hatred of injustice.
The Biden Administration is loathed because of its embrace of lawlessness. However, I thank God for the tyranny of these past four years.
Trump re-enters office more popular than ever because of his winning both the electoral college and popular vote. Unlike 2016, he has an unequivocal mandate to Make America Great Again.
Like Ronald Reagan and George Washington , Trump is the people’s President. Uninterested in power, he’s a man taking office for love of country and the rule of law.
Citizens like you and me lifted up their prayers for God’s blessing and protection over this man. The Good Lord answered because no weapon forged against Trump prevailed. Every corrupt and evil scheme backfired against the Uniparty, strengthening Trump and weakening them, instead.
May we continue to pray, in the name of Jesus Christ, for God’s peace and protection over President Trump, his family , his administration and this nation. Prayer works and is desperately needed for this country. Because of God’s grace and mercy, we are on the eve of new golden age for America.
Was paganism the cause of the So Cal wildfires? A valid question, but with an obvious answer to anyone spiritually discerned.
As of this writing, the Palisades fire and Eaton Fires stand at 31 and 65 percent containment, respectively. There have been 27 deaths , nearly 40 thousand acres burned and nearly 13 thousand structures burned or damaged. The Hurst, and Kenneth fires are 100 percent contained, while the Auto Fire is 85 percent contained.
Its widely accepted government and bureaucratic failure increased the level of destruction. However, it’s also easy to discern paganism played a vital role in this disaster.
Check out this definitionof paganism and tell me how this doesn’t apply to California , if not national Democrat politics.
Paganism is an ancient belief system that has been around for thousands of years. It is a polytheistic religion that is based on the worship of nature and the cycles of the natural world. Pagans believe in the interconnectedness of all things and strive to live in harmony with the natural world.
Paganism is an umbrella term used to describe a diverse set of spiritual and religious beliefs that are based on the worship of nature and the Earth. It is a broad term that encompasses many different belief systems, including Wicca, Druidry, Asatru, and other forms of polytheism.
What can we glean from this ?
Pagans worship the creation and not the Creator, and so do most liberals. Nature is divine, (not God) and the source of all life according to pagans and many liberals. Finally, pagans and liberals share the belief that human life is one with nature , interconnected with trees, plants, and animals.
Most notably, pagans practice polytheism, a belief in multiple gods rather than one Supreme Being. Each culture’s gods are equally divine and no culture is better than another. This appears to be the Democrat foundation of multiculturalism as well as its denigration of Christianity.
Reading between the lines, the only laws and creeds that matter to pagans are those that protect nature and the planet. Inherent in this protection, idolatry.
Because of paganism, millions of acre feet of water are diverted from cities and agriculture into the ocean; all to save the Delta Smelt. And thanks to paganism, forests are overgrown and hillsides full of dried brush. This, because clearing these areas are not a priority to Democrat officials who demonstrate, by their actions, that nature should grow unchecked.
San Gabriel and Sierra Pelonas mountains. I also lived near San Bernardino County mountains near Oak Hills California. Complete and total mismanagement of forestry. This is why there is devastating wildfires. pic.twitter.com/zgAWsQZDbn
While it’s obvious worshipping nature, or the planet, is idolatry, so is worshipping race, gender, sexual orientation and even, abortion. You can see where this is going.
California has had a Democrat supermajority for over a decade. Or you can put it another way, California has had a pagan supermajority for over a decade.
Leftist/pagan policies have cheapened the sanctity of life, enabled lawlessness, driven up energy prices, gas prices and of course, taxes because the priority is amassing power, not serving the people.
At the same time, the state has advertised itself as an abortion destination and sanctuary state, and designated (until recently) shoplifting as low-priority crime. A culture of death, and lawlessness, are all part of paganism.
The pagans in charge are even trying to force electric vehicles on the public; going so far as to ban the sale of gas vehicles in California come 2035. All of this to lord over people’s lives under the guise of reducing so-called green house gases, a.k.a carbon dioxide.
Thanks to paganism, the cost of living in California is the highest of all 5o states despite being the wealthiest of state of the union. Why? Planet worship means no new power plants, the destruction of dams and little to no energy exploration.
That’s part of the problem. The other part is governments burdening taxpayers to foot the bill for housing, feeding , providing health and welfare benefits to illegal immigrants and paying for the homeless. As I have written previously, California has spent nearly 25 billion dollars on the homeless. Are you seeing a pattern here?
Pagans do not care about people, they care only for whatever keeps the empowered and wealthy. They see themselves as ruling rather than serving the people.
By its very nature, paganism is anti-God , therefore it cannot competently govern. It’s plainly stated in the in Proverbs 9:10 (NKJV):
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
California’s Democrat-dominated politics are living examples what happens when there is no fear of God: wisdom is far from their decisions and therefore, chaos ensues.
California has wildfires literally every year. It’s not like politicians do not see them coming. Yet, the state, rather than clearing brush and other dead vegetation, allows it to grow unchecked. This speaks to willful ignorance, incompetence, and negligence.
Pagans are simply ill-equipped to run a state or city and are failures when disasters hit. The problem is their policies may exacerbate the damage of any disaster.
Is paganism the cause of So Cal wildfires? The preponderance of evidence surely lies in the affirmative.
There’s an old saying “As California goes…so goes the rest of the nation.” If that’s true, let’s hope that Californians’ realization of the failures of DEI and the Green New Deal as the cause of these devastating wildfires will spread to the rest of America’s blue states.
You paying attention New Yorkers, Illinoisans, New Jerseyites, , Minnesotans, Washingtonians, Oregonians, and Marylanders? California is the epicenter and laboratory for liberalism and these wildfires have revealed the fecklessness of these policies for all to see.
You know the players: Gavin Newsom the smarmy, greasy-haired governor prioritizing a fish over people by diverting million of cubic feet of water from farmers and cities;
Governor Gavin Newsom
Karen Bass, the awol Los Angeles Mayor out of the country at the start of the fires ,later revealed to have slashed the fire department’s budget;
L.A. Mayor Karen Bass
Kristin Crowley, the first ever female and lesbian L.A. City Fire Chief on record stating her goal for the department is promoting diversity (which really means less white men) and a Janisse Quinones, Department of Water and Power head, making a $750 thousand a year salary who couldn’t even do her basic job of keep the reservoirs filled with water.
A colossal storm of arrogance and incompetence. Watching these officials, has there ever been a more uninspiring bunch? These profiles in failure have even eclipsed even the Joe Biden Administration in their ineptitude.
This is what you get with true believers of cultural Marxism, who prioritize power over serving the people: major disaster.
At least 24 deaths, more than 10 thousand homes and structures damaged or destroyed and nearly 40 thousand acres burned in the Palisades, Eaton, Kenneth and Hurst fires. What’s tragic is this death and damage could have been lessened.
It’s because of environmentalist policies that California has not engaged in wildfire mitigation in decades. They didn’t want to disturb the delicate balance of nature by clearing brush, dead vegetation and undergrowth. This, despite having wildfires every year.
Utter madness!
In fact, Newsom cut $100 million from fire prevention in the 2o24-2025 budget leading up to these fires. However, California spent $24 billion, yes billion , on homelessness in five years.
Mayor Bass cut the Fire Department’s budget by nearly $18 million this year . And get this, she originally wanted to cut the budget by $23 million! In a land of wildfires, public safety is the last thing on minds of these “leaders.” Now, the fires are illuminating California’s anti-human policies, where a fish and plants are more important than keeping taxpayers safe.
By the way, check out this latest video in which an inappropriately smiling Bass attempts to comfort “Angelinos” only to come off as weirdly smug .
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU KAREN??
WHAT NORMAL PERSON WOULD SMILE ALL THE WAY THROUGH SUCH A MESSAGE?
RESIGN TRAITOR😡 YOU’RE FOLLOWING ORDERS FROM YOUR CRIMINAL BOSSES, THAT MAKES YOU A CRIMINAL TOO!
What’s a shame is how entrenched the liberal mindset has become in California’s major cities. When you get right down to it, a majority of voters willingly elected this mayor and governor.
Keep in mind, the problem does not lie solely only these two heads of state and city, respectively. California’s State Legislature and the Los Angeles City Council share the same values as Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass.
Even if these two were to both resign, or get recalled by the voters, they’re only the faces of the endemic failure of California liberal politics. This is what the people need to realize and keep in mind from now on with casting their vote in local elections.
Hope you’re paying attention blue state Dems. The policies of your radical Democrat leaders are also setting you up for disaster. Remember, as California goes… so goes the rest of the nation.
Behold, they shall be as stubble, The fire shall burn them; They shall not deliver themselves From the power of the flame; It shall not be a coal to be warmed by, Nor a fire to sit before!– Isaiah 47:14 (NKJV)
The fires of judgment continue to rage in Southern California. Besides apocalyptic level destruction and death, the blaze is revealing the incompetence of leadership on the state and local level.
Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, you two are an absolute disgrace. You have failed your state , your city and every constituent affected by these wildfires.
You can both try to blame this devastation on climate change all you want, but even liberals’ eyes are now opening to the fecklessness of Democrat rule in California. Both of you are profiles in failure.
What’s been Newsom’s mission of late? Oh yeah, Trump-proofing California.
Hey governor, how about placing the same effort into fire-proofing burn areas? You know, like ,creating task forces to clear the brush and undergrowth. Additionally, you could have issued public service announcements highlighting of the importance of homeowners fire-proofing their properties.
Imagine if you did those things and came up with innovations for storing the millions of cubic feet of water from snowmelt and rain-runoff instead of letting it flow to the ocean? Instead you serve your globalist, environmentalist masters by diverting water from the people, farmers and cities; all this, supposedly, for saving some bait-fish known as the Delta Smelt .
Yeah, prior to California’s most devastating wildfire, I’m sure many of those very rich (and liberal) homeowners in Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Altadena, Hollywood and Calabasas , unquestioningly believed your BS about Trump being the biggest existential threat to California and America.
But I got news for you, governor. I’m willing to bet that after losing everything they’re going to look at you , your policies and every syllable you say in an entirely different light. We’re talking red-pilling.
Under your watch, California has worsened as a state. Homelessness is rampant, crime is skyrocketing, people and businesses (that is taxpayers ) are leaving the state in droves.
Actually, I stand corrected, Newsom. One business your policies have benefitted is U-haul which has had record profits thanks to people getting the hell out of California.
Which brings me to Mayor Bass , what on earth were you doing in Africa as your city burned? You should have been on the first jet back to California when you got word of the potential seriousness of these Santa Ana winds and the fire danger they posed.
When you finally returned after the initial devastation, it was deer in headlights as you then refused to answer a reporter’s questions regarding your competence?!
BREAKING: LA Mayor Karen Bass is REFUSING to answer questions about the tragedy unfolding.
Why can’t she provide ANY updates?
They’re out of water and Ghana is still on her mind.
Mayor, your primary responsibility is to provide leadership, which means the buck stops with you. That’s your job!
How ironic those Pacific Palisades fire hydrants will become symbolic of yours and Newsom’s leadership: empty. But what else can we expect from leaders focused on DEI rather than taxpayers?
DEI breeds incompetence because when any of these ideologues are elected to leadership, it’s due to identity , not ability.
LA City Fire Chief Kristin Crowley’ made history being the first female and LGBTQ Fire Chief. But was her first leadership challenge ensuring the reservoirs were filled so fire hydrants can work? No it was increasing diversity in the LA City Fire Department by hiring more women.
WTF: Kristin Crowley is the first female and openly LGBTQ fire chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD).
Her primary focus is on fostering a culture of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
Bass is the first black female ever elected mayor, yet she recently slashed the fire department’s budget by nearly $20 million, prioritizing the homeless. And of course, Pacific Palisades hydrants went dry under the watch of Janisse Quinones, the first Latina to lead the LA Department of Water and Power (LADWP).
Janisse Quinones is CEO of LA Department of Water and Power.
She blames “so much water being used” for why water ran out.
She says it’s the fault of the firefighters, victims, and wildfires.
As of this writing, the fires of judgment continue as tens of thousands of people have been evacuated, thousands of structures destroyed and at least 10 people dead. Winds are forecasted to continue off and on through the weekend.
Pray for California and pray God will use these fires to burn the scales from people’s eyes regarding the state’s dangerously inept Democrat leadership.
Justin Trudeau resigns and patriotic Canadians are elated the rule of Canada’s worst Prime Minister is finally over.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
I say Canada’s worst PM because in survey after survey the people have given Justin that dubious, historical distinction. Yes, that blackface wearin’…
virtue signalling…
dancing fool … certainly made history, but not in the way he hoped.
Trudeau steps down after his Liberal Party kept turning up the pressure for his resignation. Sure, he was one of Canada’s longest serving PMs, and they supported his destructive policies, but hey, Trudeau committed the unforgivable sin of unpopularity with an approval rating in the 20’s.
It’s like, “Sorry Justin, it comes down to party survival and our pensions. Oh, and don’t let the door hit you on your way out.”
As with all left-wing narcissists, Justin virtue signals his exit as some noble and selfless act for the good of the country and the people. Whatever…cue the violins:
Since taking office, Trudeau has continually placed global initiatives such as massive immigration, crushing carbon taxes and the destruction of the Canadian housing market above the needs of his people. Funny how all leftist globalists, no matter the country, never build anything except destruction in their wake.
Ironically, the re-election of President Donald Trump hastened Justin’s downfall. His Liberal Party and the NDP (New Democratic Party) lost faith in his ability to negotiate the tariff matter with Trump.
Trump promises a 25 percent tariff against all Canadian goods if Canada does not stop the flow of drugs and illegal immigrants into the United States.
Something’s afoot behind the scenes on a global scale. Since Trump’s re-election, the globalist coalition is fraying. Germany’s government has collapsed and France’s , barely hanging on.
We’re witnessing a restructuring. The leftist globalist coalition is shrinking right before our very eyes because freedom-loving people have had enough. Justin is merely the latest casualty of this populist momentum.
How Justin kept getting re-elected speaks of either of a brain-dead voter majority or a well- honed election rigging machine.
Was it the latter or the former? Maybe both?
Trudeau’s inevitable demise is a natural consequence from the people when the economy falls into dire straits. People flock to liberalism when financial times are prosperous only to jettison the ideology when it bites them in the pocket book and threatens their personal safety.
Trudeau steps down as leader of the Liberal Party and will remain as PM until a special election chooses a new leader through a “robust, nationwide, competitive process.” As the liberal party selects a new leader, Parliament is prorogued until March 24.
So, like Slim Pickens riding the bomb in Dr Strangelove, the next intermediary Liberal leader will lead the party into its inevitable shellacking in the national election.
Slim Pickens in Dr Strangelove
Who will that be? The majority of Canadian people could care less, answering “none of the above” as a first choice in a recent poll of liberal candidates.
On the ascendency is the Conservative Party led by Pierre Poilievre, who is widely expected to become Canada’s next Prime Minister. We’ll have to wait and see where he takes the country, if elected; but anything would be better than Trudeau.
Pierre Poilievre
Trump’s not even inaugurated yet and a new global order is forming. Poser tyrants such as Justin Trudeau deserve all the shame and ridicule of the people they shafted. It’s the MAGA effect.
Happy New Year and thank you. As we begin 2025, I would like to express a heartfelt and sincere thank you for your support of the Discerning Pundit.
Thank you for reading and sharing these columns. It is much appreciated.
To say 2024 has been a whirlwind year is an understatement. With all that has occurred, from the Presidential campaign, to the two assassination attempts against President Trump, to the elation of an election night win, the holiday spirit has, strangely, been the last thing on my mind.
But thank God, Jesus is the source of our joy, and that our Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. Praise the Lord a majority of Americans re-elected President Trump in a landslide for a total and complete victory.
While God answered prayer, keeping Trump safe and this country from collapsing –despite the best efforts of the Biden Administration-I can’t help thinking the real work is beginning.
America is on the ropes and without a shared Christian moral foundation, too many people are easily seduced by lies and fables. Why else do you think woke, DEI and even the plandemic were able to gain prominence?
Christians must dedicate unceasing prayer for America, Congress, the Supreme Court, the Trump Administration, governors , mayors , legislatures and city councils. On another level, Christians must also launch imprecatory prayers against wicked policies on both sides of the aisle and the puppet masters pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Washington was not only built on a swamp, its environment and politics is a swamp of corruption and waste.
As Trump now sees Washington and politicians in a different light than during his first term, we must also view things from a new paradigm.
First, we no longer have the luxury of complacency. The days of farming out our liberty to politicians , whether “D” or “R” , are over.
Here’s a word to memorize: scrutiny. It means a close watch or examination. This is a word we must always associate with politicians from now and forever.
You might understand it better as paying attention to how these hacks vote, rather than falling for what they say. We must figuratively grab their feet and hold it to the fire.
Before you dismiss me for spouting a cliche, keep in mind this is from a Christian perspective. When talking about fire, I’m speaking of God spiritually burning away every deception keeping us from the truth.
That’s the job of this blog: commenting on current events using a Biblical perspective. My mission is helping you discern truth from deception.
So happy New Year and thank you for your support. May 2025 be the year you take your prayer and study of Scripture to an entirely new level.
H-1B flare-up creating civil war within MAGA? Things are certainly heating up thanks to the media fanning the flames, but MAGA will be fine. Not so sure about Elon and Vivek , though. They’ve lost standing in the eyes of many in the MAGA base with their defense of the H-1B visa program.
The MAGA backlash was swift and probably eye-opening to both of them. However both are reacting differently . Elon Musk is walking back his original declaration while Vivek Ramaswamy is doubling down on his ill-timed observation.
Elon Musk (photo courtesy of Vanity Fair)
Musk is now calling for major reform to the broken H-1B visa program and proposing to make it more expensive to hire overseas than domestically. Ok , that seems reasonable, much more so than his original angry Tweet:
Threatening to go to war against critics of this abused government immigration program? Part of this “war” must be clamping down on free speech, since X recently censored commentator Laura Loomer’s account for half a day, basically demonetizing her . (more on this later)
Laura Loomer
For someone portraying himself as a champion of the First Amendment, that was a petulant move to MAGA, Elon. Sorry, but silencing the opposition is right out of the Democrat and Uniparty playbook.
As for Vivek, whom I am still on the fence about , his impassioned and ill-timed defense of H-1B sounded much like Uniparty rhetoric about needing immigrants to do the jobs Americans won’t do.
Vivek Ramaswamy
“The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH: Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG. A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers. A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers.”
Does Vivek make some good points? Yes. Leftists have dumbed down education and created a culture that venerates mediocrity. But bringing in foreign workers isn’t the only answer as the Uniparty would have you believe.
Why not begin a national campaign for academic excellence in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)? Or how about incentives to hire and recruit more Americans to these tech and financial corporations? Our salvation should be marshaling the talents and potential of our own citizenry to meet the challenge, not only importing foreign workers.
Source: Robert Sterling
Defenders of H-1B say the program allows the to recruit the best and the brightest. The problem is the vast majority of H-1B visas are a method to recruit thousands of low -wage IT and financial services workers.
The system allows companies to recruit way over yearly statutory caps and, surprisingly, the vast majority of these employers recruiting these workers are Indian companies headquartered in America. That’s what Robert Sterling found when he crunched the numbers (here).
Sriram Krishnan
This all blew up on Christmas Day after Laura Loomer criticized Trump’s selection of Sriram Krishnan as senior policy adviser for Artificial Intelligence at the White House. Krishnan is on record for removing the caps on green card per country of origin. He did not necessarily comment on expanding the H-1B visas.
“Our country was built by white Europeans, actually. Not third-world invaders from India. It’s not racist against Indians to want the original MAGA policies I voted for. I voted for a reduction in H-1B visas. Not an extension.”
Musk and Ramaswamy, soon to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and David Sacks , incoming AI and Crypto Czar, support Krishnan. Hence, the media egging on their portrayal of Loomer as a racist , justifying her censorship on X by Musk.
Any censorship of conservative voices is not a good move. MAGA has an extreme abhorrence to the leftist trope of freezing, targeting and isolating critics as racist, especially when it comes from mouths of so-called Republicans.
Whether people disagree with Loomer’s statements, or not, she should be able to make such comments under the First Amendment. Musk suspending her account was un-MAGA to say the least.
Steve Bannon, mincing no words in his criticism, has called Musk a “toddler” for his initial handling of the situation. Going to war against a guy who hosts a show called “War Room” is not a good thing for Musk or Ramaswamy.
Steve Bannon
Why? The Biden DOJ jailed this guy for contempt of Congress. In a way, he was martyred for MAGA and is a living articulation of it. Therefore, patriots listen when Bannon speaks.
Will this controversy hurt MAGA or Trump? Doubtful. If anything, it’s great this issue has come to the forefront now so debate can commence.
The question now is whether that debate will be fairly carried out on X. The Conservative Treehouse is reporting Musk has changed the algorithm to diminish MAGA voices critical of the Silicon Valley group.
From the Conservative Treehouse
Unlike the left, the Uniparty, or big corporations, MAGA welcomes debate on the controversial. Is this H-1B flare-up creating civil war within MAGA?
No. If anything, this is showing the battle is not left vs. right, but from the top down: elites vs the working class.
Congratulations, we broke the woke. On Election Day 2024, you, me and more than half of America said no more to woke politics.
We first started the death by a thousand cuts by refusing to support their propaganda spewing movies and tv shows where their message had the subtlety of breaking wind. Then, we drove a stake in the heart of this Marxist ideology with the re-election of President Donald Trump.
I’m no prophet, just a concerned patriot typing out these columns on a laptop in his kitchen, but yours truly predicted the beginning of the end of wokeness in this column from January 28, 2023:
You can try to force woke politics down people throats as entertainment, but the public will always speak with their wallets. Threats, fear and intimidation can only get your message so far. After a while people may pay lipservice to get you off their backs, but they will find ways to throw sand in the cogs.
Fear not. For all of its bombast, wokeism will soon be thrown into the ashheap of history as with all Marxist schemes to divide and weaken America.
November 5, 2024 will go down as the election where America said “enough!” Trump’s election broke the the legacy mockingbird media and broke Hollywood. Both came to the shocking realization no one is listening to them anymore.
MSNBC, the tip of spear of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), finds its future and branding in limbo, with its parent corporation , Comcast threatening to spin off this cable network into a new company. With all this, the network’s anchors are negotiating pay cuts. .
That’s right, pay cuts ,not pay raises.
Rachel Maddow, the face of MSNBC, is reported to have agreed to reduce her $3o million a year salary and now MSNBC is in the process of trimming the salaries of biased hosts Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle.
MSNBC anchors Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle
Plummeting ratings mean reduced revenues. That’s capitalism 101 liberals. It means why should the networks pay outlandish salaries if the personalities lose their audiences?
MSNBC has lost more than half its viewers since election night November 5, hemorrhaging 55 percent of its primetime audience. CNN has experienced a 47 percent drop.
You know why this happening, mockingbird media? It’s because you lie. You lie about everything, you even tell the public that what they see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears are wrong (gaslighting).
You are nothing but the propaganda arm for the Uniparty, DIABLO’s and Democrats. A DIABLO (Hat tip : Mark Steyn) is a , Democrat In All But Label Only and describes turncoat Republicans more accurately than RINO (Republican in Name Only).
The victories continue during this holiday season. In an interview with CNN, Joe Manchin (D-WV) has properly labeled the Democrat Party as “toxic” and unrepresentative of the values of the American people.
Like most self-serving hacks , Senator Manchin speaks the truth on his way out where his power is unaffected. Never forget, this guy voted with his party over 90 percent of the time.
Still, it’s an inside baseball report detailing the collapse of the left . Want more evidence of the woke politics dam busting? Check this out.
The Biden Administration has tossed out the proposed Title IX transgender sports rule. The administration has ditched plans to prohibit states from banning transgendered women (biological men ) from participating in women’s sports. According to published reports, the Department of Education has announced it has withdrawn the proposed rule in the Federal Register. Read more about this here.

This news is in addition to major companies scrapping their DEI programs such as Toyota, Walmart , John Deere and Harley-Davidson. Walmart recently announced, according to Newsweek,
“… it plans to stop using the terms “LatinX” and “DEI” in official communications, won’t continue the Racial Equity Center it founded in 2020 and will ban any sexualized or transgender products marketed toward children.“
This is yuuge folks. Sanity is gradually being restored before our very eyes.
However, let’s be clear, just because the left is severely weakened right now, doesn’t mean these Marxists no longer pose a danger to America.
These godless radicals will merely watch and wait for any opportunity to exploit. Never ever forget, leftists are always scheming, plotting and patiently awaiting any opportunity to divide Americans against each other.
Let’s not fool ourselves. Those in the elite upper echelons of globalists are clever and evil people. God-fearing Americans must remain ever vigilant to their machinations if we hope to turn this country back from darkness to light.
To my Christian brothers and sisters, that means daily reading and studying of Scripture and constant prayer. We must be the light on a hill and the watchmen from the tower warning of danger. Christians can only tell the truth when they know the truth.
Let us bask in our victory for now. Again, congratulations, we broke the woke, but now the real work begins.
From its first airing on December 9, 1965 this program is an honest to goodness staple of Christmas viewing. Which begs the question, Why is A Charlie Brown Christmas a holiday classic?
The reason is a simple one, it is the first network Christmas special to feature the true meaning of Christmas: Jesus Christ , the Lord and Savior of the world.
Lee Mendelson approached Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, after Coca-Cola reached out to producer Mendelson over their desire to sponsor a holiday special. Mendelson and Schulz came up with a concept interspersing snow, ice skating , and a school play. The program would also incorporate jazz with traditional Christmas carols.
Lee Mendelson
Most importantly, Schulz wanted a reading of Christ’s birth by Linus. Despite reservations by Mendelson and animator Bill Melendez of controversy. Schulz insisted, “If we don’t do it , who will?”
Charles M. Schulz
We think of America in the early 60’s as being more conducive to Christianity, when in fact very few Christmas television programs, then, featured any substantive reference to religion.
Bill Melendez
Besides the reading of Luke 2, the show was historic for featuring child actors for the voices of the Peanuts gang. Melendez supplied the only adult vocal, voicing Snoopy. Jazz musician Vince Guaraldi composed the memorable soundtrack for the cartoon .
Vince Guaraldi
After screening the finished show, CBS network execs hated it: the pacing, the child voice talent, and the story. Problem was, they were committed to the time slot. The promos were out and Coca Cola was the sponsor.
Mendelson thought they had a flop on their hands and figured it was going to be one-and-done. But then the reviews came in and the rest is history.
As mentioned earlier, Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz insisted this special must put Jesus in the spotlight which was literally done when Linus, under a spotlight, recited Luke 2 :8-14 after Charlie Brown asked about the true meaning of Christmas.
Did you catch Linus dropping his security blanket when he recited “Fear not”? Watch it again, it’s like a subtle mic drop.
Why is A Charlie Brown Christmas a holiday classic? It’s because of that sincere and touching Linus reading of Luke 2. That Linus monologue is why this cartoon is a tradition to families nearly 60 years after its original broadcast .
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson , stop fearing the consequences to the federal government if a CR isn’t passed. Call the Democrats on their bluff and shut it down.
House Speaker Mike Johnson
That’s exactly what President Trump and Vice President -elect JD Vance are calling for. Here’s Trump’s response to this eunuch compromise of legislation.
The bill, more than another yearly stop-gap measure , is reported to be a major change of government policy. Here’s what Breitbart’s Matthew Boyle uncovered:
“It’s not a “stopgap” spending bill. Stop calling it that. It’s a massive change to federal policy.
Includes:
* First Pay Raise for Congress in 15 Years *
*Allows Congress to opt out of Obamacare and join federal workers’ health plans (this was a MAJOR point of contention during Obamacare debate)
* Funds highly controversial censorship efforts at the State Department — These 3 things alone are major policy issues that in a just world wouldn’t be rammed through in a lame duck session as the outgoing Congress was mostly just roasted at the ballot box.

Elon Musk also tweeted that bill would have also allocated three billion for a new NFL Football stadium in Washington DC.
Why should tax payer dollars be allocated for that?
🚨🇺🇸 OMNI-BUSTED: RFK LAND DEAL PUSHES COMMANDERS’ RETURN TO D.C.
Buried in Congress’s 1,547-page spending bill is a provision transferring the RFK Stadium site to D.C., setting the stage for a new Commanders stadium.
A common knee-jerk question is ,”What is it about these compromised milquetoasts , known as Republican Speakers of the House? John Boehner, Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, and now Johnson: Nancy Pelosi seems to have more testicular fortitude than all of these wussies combined.”
Now, it’s not so much of a conspiracy to wonder if maybe these are the Republican roles in the Uniparty: destroying the morale of patriots?
What’s the Democrat role in the Uniparty? They make sweeping cultural and political changes , unopposed, creating the illusion of invincibility to the American people. In other words, any attempts to stop them are futile.
Recognize this scenario? Republicans win a huge election , capturing the Presidency and both Houses of Congress. What do they do for the people who spoke through their ballots? They stab them in the back.
Oh that’s the current scenario, except now someone threw sand in the gears. That someone is Elon Musk, and his bullhorn is X , formerly known as Twitter.
Musk acquiring Twitter will go down in history as a massive victory for free speech. He tweeted dozens of posts after learning of this massive, pork-laden , monstrosity of a bill. Really, over 1500 pages?
Were Musk’s efforts effective? Uhh… yeah?
Those tweets sparked patriots to overwhelm the phones and emails of their representatives to express their outrage. Within hours the House caved, with Johnson pulling the bill.
Controversy continues with a so-called clean spending bill voted down by Dems along with 38 Republicans. And so the annual Christmas-time brinksmanship of funding the government continues. Maybe it’s about time to shut it down and see if the hyperbole of disaster lives up to the reality.
Serious patriots no longer fear a government shutdown, they welcome it.
Hmmm…what’s happening with the National Basketball Association? NBA ratings are in the tank and it’s looking like the trend’s gonna continue. It’s pretty easy to figure out why.
In a recent piece at Breitbart, Colin Cowherd compares the NBA to the Democrat Party saying they lost connection with the people:
“I’m sorry. Go ask the Democrats. Be warned. Once you detach from regular people in America, you will pay a price. And it is not easy to run these leagues,” Cowherd warned.
Of all the professional sports leagues, the NBA has seen a steady 12 year decline in viewership. Ratings are down 48 percent since 2012 and this season shows no signs of improving.
As we near the end of 2024, ESPN ratings are down nearly 30 percent from last year , while TNT games are averaging just 1.8 viewers per game. Consider also, that in the past 30 seasons, four of the lowest rated finals have been in the last four years.
Why is this happening to the league of Michael Jordan, Scotty Pippen, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, John Havlicek, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Dr J, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird?
Is it too many games? Perhaps it is resting and saving star players for the playoffs through the practice of load-management? Maybe it’s the dominance of the three- point shot and less reliance on fundamentals, such as defense. Heck , even the refs are making less traveling calls.
These are certainly impactful factors, but one can easily make the case wokeness is causing NBA’s freefall. Embracing social justice is a turnoff, man.
From players replacing the names on their jerseys with “Black Lives Matter” and “I can’t breathe” to coaches like Steve Kerr criticizing the Second Amendment, fans are out. No one wants a lecture by entitled, out-of-touch and overpaid athletes.
LeBron James being the face of the NBA certainly doesn’t help the league’s image. Can you think of a star player more divisive than James? Obviously, James never absorbed the wisdom of Michael Jordan staying out of politics because “Republicans buy sneakers, too.”
As a certain president once famously said, “Everything woke turns to s**t.”
With NBA ratings in the tank , the decline of Hollywood, and the legacy media’s loss of credibility, I’d say Trump was right on the mark.
Oh yeah! Aren’t you proud to be American again? How long has it been since you felt that? 2020 perhaps?
Also in attendance with Trump, Elon Musk, Vice President -Elect JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Tulsi Gabbard, House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Daniel Penny.
Vice President-elect JD Vance, Daniel Penny and President Donald Trump at Army-Navy Game
Penny was recently found not guilty by a Manhattan jury of criminally negligent homicide and manslaughter in the May 2023 death of Jordan Neely, a vagrant with a history of multiple arrests. Penny, a Marine Corps-vet, placed Neely in a chokehold to protect himself and others after Neely entered the subway car screaming and threatening harm to passengers.
Black Lives Matter types have tried to whip up the fires of outrage after the trial outcome, but their efforts have been an exercise in futility. It’s appears most Americans see Penny as a hero for stepping up to protect innocent people.
This is a perfect example of the times-a-changin.
Joe Biden and Barack Obama would have been in the forefront of the trial verdict, calling it a racist outcome and further stoking the fires of hate if they were dominant. Trump invites Penny into his luxury box as a hero. Which do you think is better for the country?
A celebration of real heroes is returning. We’re talking people risking everything to protect others or overcoming incredible odds, not those deemed “brave” simply because of their race, gender or sexual orientation.
On that note, isn’t it interesting how wokeness and DEI began dissipating in the culture with Trump’s reelection? The American people spoke boldly: no more Marxist and communist influence, we’re taking our country back!
Trump hasn’t even taken office yet and you can feel the optimism this holiday season. That hopefulness started with Thanksgiving, continues as we head into Christmas, and just wait till New Years.
January 20, Inauguration Day can’t come soon enough. America is back!
I know this commentary is a little late, but I have to rant on the newest holiday movie, Dear Santa. I will open my diatribe with, Dear Santa, evil is not funny; even if it’s a holiday movie starring Jack Black as Satan.
A little aside. What’s with Jack Black?
Jack Black in Nacho Libre
He starred in one of my top 20 all- time favorite movies, Nacho Libre and knocked that character out of the park. He was also great in School of Rock and the crude comedy, Shallow Hal.
But now, blasphemy? Really, Jack?
Dear Santa features the humorous antics of the prince of darkness, and is proof positive that Hollywood is so morally compromised it can no longer make a heartfelt Christmas movie,
Why is a movie featuring satan, titled Dear Santa? Well the plot goes like this, a dyslexic kid writes a letter to Santa , but places the letter “n” in the wrong place, resulting in the mail going to Satan.
Get it? Satan appears and ha-ha, hijinks ensue.
Oh, did I mention this is a holiday movie aimed at 10-13 year -olds? Does anyone find this disturbing, Hollywood mainstreaming the devil to pre-teens?
Anyway, the point of this post is not to give a review. It’s to ask why , during the season where we celebrate the birth of Jesus, is there a Christmas movie featuring the father of lies?
Oh c’mon Dex, it’s just a movie playing for laughs. Don’t you Christians have other things to worry about? After all, Santa isn’t even real.
That’s true, Santa Claus isn’t real, but satan is certainly no imaginary creation. Satan, is not some crazy-eyed short man with a grizzled voice espousing one liners for cheap laughs.
Jack Black as “Satan” in Dear Santa
The Bible writes of Satan as a thief who does not come except to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). Satan is the author of sin, the personification of all that is evil in the world. You name it– murder, rape, incest, pornography, child and adult sex trafficking, war, genocide, violence, robbery, anarchy– the devil created it.
But in Hollywood’s eyes, Satan is comedy fodder. Irreverent, crude and powerful; he’s the ultimate bad-boy.
Unfortunately, nothing is good, funny or sympathetic about satan, and any attempt to humanize this malevolent being is pure foolishness . But that’s Hollywood, always trying to subvert what is good and dumping obscene amounts of money to humanize nefarious characters as “misunderstood.”
What do you expect? Lucifer is the god of Hollywood and while there are some strong Christian and conservative actors, they are few and far between and, mostly in the closet. Most everyone else bows the knee and gladly sells their soul for fame.
Dear Santa is currently streaming on Paramount + and the reviews are from mid to abysmal . So it looks like Hollywood’s latest effort to remove Christ from Christmas is like most of their content in last few years: a flop.
You think they’ll learn and make something more in tune with the holidays next year ? Nahh, probably not.
Are there are occasions following politics where you forget that as a Christian, you are in , but not of the world(John 15:18-19)? This is especially important to recall during this Christmas season where we celebrate the miraculous birth of Christ.
Like our Lord and Savior , Jesus, We are sojourners in this temporal world . Yet because of Jesus’ virgin birth, life, and later His death and resurrection , our minds and spirits are also fixed on eternity (Colossians 3:2).
Do we have concerns about the present and all the worries that come from witnessing lies, evil and tyranny? You bet we do.
However, as children of God these concerns do not overwhelm or bring fear into our hearts for very long. For Jesus’ coming to the world gave us life abundantly( John 10:10). He did so by setting us free from the snares of sin and secondarily, this fallen world .
In Him, and through His love, we are new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17), set apart to do good works for God’s will and purposes (Ephesians 2:10). The old nature, fixed only on temporal lusts and temptations, is dead and what Christ has resurrected, stands.
Jesus is truly the reason for the season, the Christ -Mas(s). Let’s give praise and thanks to Him for transforming us from wicked sinners, worthy of death, to God-fearing men and women seeking His heart and will for our lives. This is truth.
God’s truth feeds and strengthens us, while His purpose guides our paths. What can man do to us (Psalm 118:6) ? For God uses every trial and tribulation for the Christian’s greater good(Romans 8:28).
This means blessing in every way, shape, and form. God’s sovereign plan for our lives means even what is meant for evil against us is turned into good(Genesis 50:20).
No weapon forged against us shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17) because we are in , but not of the world. Our home is a new heaven and earth (Revelation 21), living forever with the Father and the Son.
The Creator of the heavens and earth , is the master craftsman, preparing those who love His Son, for eternity. For God is making us more like Jesus which each day that passes. Truly, He who has began a good work in us will be faithful to complete it (Philippians 1:6).
Tasked also in this effort is the Holy Spirit , who counsels and intercedes for us constantly. Even when all we have is groans , the Spirit speaks to God on our behalf (Romans 8:26-27).
The Spirit speaks powerfully to us through God’s Word and conversely the Word’s power is only made manifest to us through the Holy Spirit. Only when both are prevalent in our daily walk will we truly be able to stand fast in God, no matter the circumstances.
When the Christian has both of these engines firing, the Word and the Spirit, l0ok out! Through God’s mighty power, you will be able to accomplish what was formerly unthinkable in your former sinful and dead nature.
Don’t you realize God is calling you? He has given each one of us unique spiritual gifts( Ephesians 4:7-16)to carry out “missions” tailored for these talents.
This is not for us to puff out our chests in pride (Romans 12:3-8); knowing this should humble us. God is not a respecter of persons (Romans 2:11-16), therefore , do not become conceited and certainly, do not elevate men, even pastors and presidents as better or smarter than you.
Do you know God’s calling on your life, or are you floundering? Ask through diligent prayer and study, for that is our communication with our eternal Heavenly Father.
And speaking of prayers how do you pray to your Father? Do rote, memorized supplications comprise your communication or do you seek Him with raw, vulnerable petitions?
Obviously God hears all of our prayers , but He desires intimacy with us. Our Heavenly Father wants us to love Him with all of heart, soul, mind and strength (Matt.22:37, Mark 12:30, Luke 10;27).
God already knows our every thought and feeling before we pray, for He is omniscient and omnipresent. He just wants us to get it.
Intimacy requires vulnerability and humility, which are considered weakness in the world. However, both are strengths in God’s eyes because it is in those traits we truly experience His power.
This Christmas , let us remember God’s loving gift to mankind, His only begotten Son, Jesus. Let us also never forget that because of Christ, we are in, but not of the world.
Happy MAGA Holidays! Kinda has a nice ring to it, huh?
Wasn’t this the best Thanksgiving in the last four years? For the first time in long time , there was something to be thankful about: Donald Trump’s re-election.
Elon Musk and President-elect Donald Trump celebrate Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago
I’ve talked to lots of fellow conservatives since November 5 and the response has been the same: It feels like a tremendous weight has been lifted from our shoulders and we can breathe again.
The last time a presidential election felt this good was 2016. Remember how you felt when Trump’s win over Hillary Clinton, signaled the end of President Barack Obama’s divisive reign?
Now, we see a light at the end of the tunnel, an end to the nightmare that has been the Joe Biden/ Kamala Harris Administration : a creepy , senile corruptocrat and a cackling half-wit. Without a doubt, the worst presidency in this nation’s history.
The worst presidents and vice-presidents in US history?
What is it about inept and oppressive leaders that figuratively suck the life out of you? Obama certainly had that draining quality to people, who never fell for the media siren call to swoon over the first black president, but Biden/Harris took that talent to the next level.
Trump’s winning of the electoral college and the popular vote gobsmacked the left. Seriously, these narcissists are still in tatters trying to figure out what went wrong.
Of course, it’s nothing they’ve done, what with woke or DEI. The problem is you for believing all that misinformation and disinformation disparaging the economy and manufacturing the border crisis.
The Democrat Party has become so delusional they are unable to see most Americans are no longer susceptible to their lies. And what does the left lie about in this country? Everything!
They not only lie to us, they lie to themselves. In fact they have fibbed, fabricated and libeled so much, they believe their falsehoods as truth.
The Democrats’ cognitive dissonance has become their undoing. They see the evidence of their failed policies but are so psychologically invested that to admit the truth to themselves would be devastating.
I could go on with this, but I think you get the idea. For now let’s enjoy God’s gift to us of a massive and glorious leftist meltdown. Let us pray to God this destructive and godless party is out of power for at least the next three generations.
In the meantime, America looks forward to a MAGA Christmas, where Jesus Christ reigns supreme, and a MAGA New Year where optimism returns. Happy MAGA holidays!
What are your thoughts? Please leave a comment below .
Kamala never led in the 2024 Presidential campaign …ever! Internal polling showed President Donald Trump was never trailing at any moment.
So how does this explain the legacy media breathlessly reporting how close this race was, and leading nightly news casts in the weeks before Election Day of how the Harris/Walz campaign had national leads within the margin of error? The answer is simple: the news lied.
The mockingbird media does not report the news, they report a narrative. The press does not objectively report the facts and allowing viewers and readers to decide, its explicit goal is influencing how you should think.
That’s called propaganda, folks . With the left, it is smoke and mirrors served always with a generous portion of gaslighting .
You know, gaslighting, that psychological manipulation of people that causes victims to question the validity of their own thoughts. For example, you saw video of Biden falling upstairs , mumbling incoherencies , and wandering off and you concluded. “Oh yeah, it’s obvious this guy’s senile.”
But then you have the press, like MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, reporting this is the best Biden ever, “Cogent” and “F’u if you can’t handle the truth.”
When it comes to gaslighting it really comes down to this: Who are you going to believe, you’re lying eyes or the legacy media?
You saw and heard reports of this presidential race being too close to call in the months, weeks, days and hours before Election Day. And let’s be honest, this made you anxious.
Admit it. You were trying to square how this could be when you saw how much of an empty vessel Kamala was with her cackling and word salad .
Vice President Kamala Harris
Now with this recent admission by Harris/Walz campaign insiders, your gut feelings were justified. Kamala never led in the 2024 Presidential campaign…ever! In the future, may this be your barometer to gauge whether media reports are facts, or, most likely , their latest narrative.
Uhh…help me out here. I keep wondering when did the United States became a democracy?
I feel like I’ve missed something. Democracy has become so ubiquitous in the mainstream political vernacular, it’s troubling.
Seriously … the last time I said the Pledge of Allegiance I don’t recall saying “ …and to the democracy for which it stands”. It’s still “… and to the Republic for which it stands.”
It’s gotten to the point where every time I hear some politician or commentator refer to our form of government as a democracy, I reflexively shout back , “We are a representative republic!”
A constitutional republic is also an apt description of America’s form of government. I’m no conspiracy theorist with an axe to grind, only a concerned American who understands democracy was never the source of our Constitution.
The Founders hated democracy, because it can easily slide into tyranny and mob rule. Don’t believe me? Look it up for yourself. James Madison said of democracy:
James Madison, fourth President of the United States of America and “Father of the Constitution”
“Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”
And check out this criticism by John Adams, America’s second President:
John Adams, second President of the United States and Founding Father
“Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.“
You can read the Founders’ criticism of democracy here , and none of the comments are positive.
Keep in mind, God blessed America with some of the greatest intellects ever involved in the creation of a country. These were not partisans with an agenda to push, but learned, and for the most part, God-fearing men who wanted this new nation to flourish with the best form of government possible. They studied what form of governance worked and which were historical failures.
You have only to read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States to note no direct mention of democracy in either of these documents. However, you will read in Article 4 section 4 of the Constitution, “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government…”
Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution of the United States
A republican form of government means each state has an equal say in elections and governance , no matter its size or population. A brilliant encapsulation of the differences between a republic and democracy can be found in this excellent video from PragerU. I highly suggest watching it in its entirety.
America was and is a republic, not a democracy. Any pundit or politician saying otherwise should be loudly corrected, no matter which side of the political aisle they reside.
Democrats invoke the word, democracy, to convince people they are the arbiters of freedom when in fact ,democracy tramples over the rights of the minority or the individual. Republicans should embrace the term, republic and declare it at every opportunity since this form of government protects individual rights and counters majority rule. After all, republicanism had the Founders seal of approval.
When did the United States become a democracy? The answer is never. America always was and always will be a republic despite the misrepresentations of the elites on both sides of the political spectrum. Since our government is of, by, and for the people, it is the responsibility of the people to keep the record straight.
The epic meltdown of Democrats after Donald Trump’s historic Presidential Election win is providing glorious schadenfreude. Laughter aside, Americans are gaining an incredible insight into the minds of the mentally enslaved: individuals who have lost any sense of objectivity.
If Democrats were objective they would look at why they lost, examine their policies and honestly ask themselves how their platform caused such a thorough rebuke from voters. Yet when some ask that question, they’re shouted down by the narcissist minority who would rather point fingers at the stupid, bigoted and misogynistic American people than engage in any meaningful self -reflection.
"I am NOT going to listen to transphobia at this table!"

After all, rational people don’t record themselves yelling at the top of their lungs, crying uncontrollably, or shaving their heads because an election result didn’t go their way. Only delusional narcissists do these things.
Remember all those videos of conservatives and Christians crying, screaming and threatening sexual abstinence, while declaring how much they hated their fellow countrymen for daring to vote for Joe Biden in 2020? Oh that’s right, there weren’t any .
But in the warped reality of the Democrats, God-fearing Christians and conservatives are the crazy ones.
One could seriously argue that idolizing abortion, woke/identity politics, the legacy media, and even their own politicians, has driven this party mad. Call it brainwashing, folks.
For the last eight years, all they’ve heard from the UniParty was, “Orange man, bad.” “Trump is a threat to democracy!” Trump is a fascist, misogynist, racist, and (by the way) Hitler.” These unstable constituents not only heard the mockingbird media’s slogans, they absorbed them .
You have only to listen to their hive-mind vilification of President Trump. For instance, have you noticed how every lefty minion vilifies Trump in almost exactly the same way? “Donald Trump is a convicted felon, a rapist, a serial adulterer, and the anti-christ, etc.” It’s reminiscent of the original The Manchurian Candidate(1962) where fellow soldiers say exactly the same thing about the tragic“Raymond Shaw.”
Despite their pride of diversity, equity, and inclusion, there is a lockstep sameness to their thoughts. Again, this indicates a hive mentality.
Leftists obediently hate and fear who and what they’re told to hate and fear by party elites. This, despite any evidence to the contrary. In Trump’s first term, for example, he made no fascist moves , such as eliminating the Constitution, or internment camps, yet leftists hysterically believe he will take away their rights or worse, use the US military to imprison American citizens.
However, Democrats leaders did slouch into fascism via their draconian handling of Covid in America with mask mandates, the shutting down of so-called “non-essential ” businesses and urging people to snitch on their neighbors for non-compliance. Still , these authoritarians paled in comparison to leftist rulers in Australia and New Zealand who actually placed citizens in bona-fide internment camps during the worldwide pandemic.
Covid quarantine camp in Victoria, Australia,2021
Democrats witnessed real-world evidence, both here and abroad, of those who actually carried out what they accuse Trump of planning, yet he and MAGA are the greater danger?
The cognitive dissonance is stunning. We shake our heads and wonder what the heck these people are thinking? I offer they are not thinking, only raging.
Let’s be blunt, much of the Democrat base are on another page when it comes to reality. These people lack the emotional maturity to even see the world clearly beyond their lint-filled navels.
Think of how malleable this makes people, especially when self-control is of no virtue in the Democrat Party. The only “virtues” promoted by the donkeys are fear, anger, resentment and entitlement.
It’s not for nothing disaffected minorities, radical feminists and LGBTQ makeup the Dem base.What do these groups all have in common? These are all demographics susceptible to victimhood , intolerant of criticism, and therefore, susceptible to emotional manipulation .
Which brings us to the greatest reason for Democrats’ unhinged reaction to this election result. This reason also answers why this party relishes destroying their enemies, speaking lies as their natural language and believing a woman’s most sacred right is having the choice to abort her baby as a form of birth control.
What is this explanation? What is their justification? They are Godless.
They don’t have God with a capital G in their lives because He gets in the way of them worshipping themselves. If they had God, they would have peace (Isaiah 26:3).
Leftists reject Jesus as Lord and Savior, therefore they have no love in their hearts, therefore they are fearful. 1 John 4:18 (ESV) explains this correlation:
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
Why do you think Democrats are prone to authoritarianism? The need to control is a result of fear.
These people are freaking out in the aftermath of Trump’s triumph because they couldn’t control the outcome. Democrats are fearful because they believe Christians and conservatives will now do to them everything they’ve wanted to do to the right.
If they could think objectively, they would understand all Christians and conservatives want is the restoration of the rule of law, American prosperity, American military might, love of country and parental authority. Truth be told, most on the right practice live and let live, unlike leftists, who try to force their agenda upon the masses.
Unfortunately, Democrat elites have convinced their base otherwise. Imagine yourself trapped in their emotional prison. These are the mentally enslaved and they deserve more than our laughter; they deserve our prayers.
We need to praise God for blessing America with a total and compete Trump victory. MAGA not only triumphed, but voters also repudiated woke insanity, DEI, the propaganda media, and lawfare.
President-Elect Donald Trump delivers victory speech after defeating Kamala Harris
A total and complete victory means taking away your enemies’ ability to battle in the short or long term. In this case, not only is Trump projected to win the electoral college, he is winning the popular vote.
Why is this important?
Winning the popular vote takes away a critical tagline of undermining a Republican victory , i.e. ” He may have won the popular vote, but the people aren’t behind him.” Now, a majority of the people are behind Trump and have given him a clear-cut mandate.
But wait , there’s more! Democrats not only lost the presidency, the Republicans have retaken the Senate and are expected to expand their majority in the House.
If this wasn’t bad enough, Republicans have the majority of governorships and state legislatures after the political bloodbath of the 2024 Election. How ironic, that “bloodbath,” a term Dems tried to use to accuse Trump of inciting violence, has come to symbolize their demoralizing defeat.
The voters just aren’t that into you Dems. They’ve had enough of your party destroying this country through subverting the present, attempting to erase history and darkening our future.
And now, more people feel it is safe to question your narratives. For instance, more Americans are wondering what happened to the 16 million votes for Joe Biden in 2020?
This graph shows Democrat turnout fairly consistent 2012, 2016 and 2024. However, 2020 shows an anomalous spike ; a total deviation. What happened to those 16 million voters and why did those numbers disappear for Kamala? Those votes certainly did not go to Trump, whose numbers were less than 2020.
CNN inadvertently added to the question of those missing voters when John King revealed to a stunned Jake Tapper, Kamala’s underperformance to Biden.
The more Americans who see the previous graph , the more who will wake up and question the legacy media’s version of truth.
One of those “truths” hammered to all of us is of half the country is Democrat and the other half, Republican. That’s BS. Just take a look at this electoral map by county after the 2024 election:
This👇is the electoral map by county from the 2024 election. The areas of blue are minuscule. THIS is America. This is a reflection of how out of touch the @DNC is with the people. pic.twitter.com/DuxY8PkjnU
Congratulations to the 47th President of the United States , Donald John Trump. His victory marks the greatest political comeback ever!
Thank you for your prayers of all kinds, thank you for enlightening your fence-sitting friends and thank you for voting. But most importantly, thank God for His mercy on America!
My prayer was that this would be decided on election night. Praise the Lord!!
Feeling excited, but have a sense of dread about Election Day? I’m with you , but here are some facts to consider that may settle your concerns and provide confidence about the most important election of our lifetime.
Let’s face it, the 2020 Presidential Election left half the country with some PTSD. We went to bed with President Donald Trump in the lead and woke up with Joe Biden heading to victory after ballot counting shut downs in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.
We’re not going into revisit all the details of that night any further, suffice to say election integrity questions were valid. Many Americans agreed with Trump’s charge the election was stolen, despite Democrats’ and media dismissals of the allegations as baseless.
In 2020, a global pandemic, replete with lockdowns and a summer of riots was a precursor to that election. Making a long story short, that led to the proliferation of mail-in ballots which many experts knew could open the door to election fraud.
That was then.
Today, voters are certainly not dealing with the same type of epic crises as in 2020. This is a definite positive in this election cycle.
Consider also, the Democrats’ candidate is the antithesis of democracy . Vice President Kamala Harris is the standard- bearer for the party without receiving a single vote.
Sure, she had an initial bounce, thanks to fawning media coverage portraying her as the female Barack Obama. Unfortunately for her reality has set in , and whatever surge she had at the beginning has collapsed.
What precipitated this fall? Simply put, Kamala’s disastrous interviews with the media , including 60 Minutes, Fox News and even CNN. The public has seen, in real time, her inability to answer even the most softball questions in a straightforward manner.
You can register this implosion by noting the changes in her messaging. Remember “joy, joy joy” at the beginning of her campaign? Well, that’s been ditched.
Now it’s “Trump is Hitler”, “Trump is a fascist” , “Trump is a threat to democracy”, “Trump will use the military to arrest his enemies”, “Trump will enact a nationwide abortion ban.” That’s been the message of her rallies in the last two weeks. That Kamala has gone negative is the sign of a flailing and desperate campaign.
Kamala , or most likely her handlers, have decided to gin up fear because her numbers have continued to dip with her message of empty platitudes, in lieu of concrete solutions. Now, she’s hoping voters will ignore her lack of a cohesive plan in hopes of scaring people to check the ballot for her. Is it working?
As of this writing, no.
AtlasIntel, the most accurate pollster in 2o2o, has Trump leading in all seven swing states. With that said, please take into account that things could change drastically on Election Day, :
#NEW – Swing States Polling by AtlasIntel (November 1-2, LVs)
Interestingly, AtlasIntel corresponds somewhat to the RCP final aggregate for 2024
Harris’ less than one point lead in Wisconsin and Michigan, according to RCP average, means the race is a dead heat. This does not bode well for Harris because her lead in these states has collapsed as Trump’s momentum is surging.
Republicans have crushed it this year with early voting, something the party has never done in the past. They’ve taken the Democrat tactic of banking a formidable lead going into Election Day and have dominated. Pollsters are saying they’ve never seen anything like this.
Just like they’ve never seen a Republican with such huge popularity among black men. Trump is especially popular with young black men who simply do not like Harris. This has Democrats panicking and even resulted in former President Obama scolding the “bruthas” for not supporting Harris, a woman of color.
These men , who’ve had enough of the Democrat plantation, are voting Trump . What’s the key reason for Trump’s popularity with black men? It’s illegal immigration, that’s made black men have enough of the Democrat plantation.
That, and the economy are the other differences between 2024 and 2020.The electorate is not the same as four years ago.
The country is seeing in real time the effects of the Biden/ Harris open borders policy. Americans know the stories of criminal migrants raping and killing young women and assaulting police officers.
Add to that ,voters are shocked that a Venezuelan gang has taken over three apartment complexes in Aurora , Colorado, in the UNITED STATES of AMERICA. This was certainly not the case 2020 or 2016.
President Trump at New York civil fraud trial
Americans have also witnessed the lawfare by the Biden DOJ, corrupt state attorney generals and partisan judges, against Trump. Americans are disgusted that banana-republic tactics are taking place in a Constitutional republic.
Instead of destroying Trump, he has only grown stronger from Democrat attacks. This has endeared him to more voters than in 2016 and even 2020 because of his tenacity and grit. They see the love Trump has for America and how that love, and determination keeps him pressing on despite lawfare, a biased media and two assassination attempts.
And speaking of those failed attempts to kill Trump, the Butler , PA shooting left an indelible image of Trump’s courage, strength and love for the American people. To the left’s dismay, it also cemented Trump as an American icon.
Trump defiant after assassination attempt in Butler, PA
What is more American than fighting on , despite the odds? That’s inspiring to a people who have been beaten down and ignored in the last four years.
That’s what’s known as an intangible,and Kamala lacks it. If anything, all she inspires is derision from fake accents:
Kamala Harris speaking in Detroit earlier today vs Pittsburgh a few hours later.
🚨This is brutal to watch. Kamala Harris without a teleprompter is the Democrat Party’s worst nightmare:
“When we think about what’s at stake in this election – well it’s packed with some stuff! Some fundamental stuff! *cackles* I say rather articulately.” pic.twitter.com/2UEboEUkgW
The only symbol Kamala represents is that of a DEI hire who is simply in way over her head.
The media tells us this is a close race, a dead-heat. Can we really believe that from a media that lies to us? Why do conservatives believe the media lies on a daily basis , but give them the benefit of the doubt of truthfulness during an election cycle?
If anything , voters should assume any poll numbers from the national media are the result of their best efforts to oversample liberals. What does this mean?
It means the best these media pollsters could produce, with their under sampling of conservatives and oversampling of liberals is a dead-heat. No wonder the LA Times and the Washington Post and even the Teamsters have decided not to endorse Kamala or any other candidate.
Kamala is the first Democrat Presidential candidate in decades not to receive these endorsements. Think about that for a moment.
That’s a huge vote of no-confidence and speaks volumes . This wasn’t supposed to happen
You were supposed to disavow Trump after the lawsuits , the raid on Mar A Lago and the mughshot. You were supposed to throw him overboard after January 6 and the constant refrain of being a threat to democracy.
Instead, Trump is more popular than ever . Remember this as you vote today. Have confidence and have faith.
I truly believe Trump is where is right now because of the prayers of millions of Christians. Consider Isaiah
54:17:
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.
Trump has taken every attack from the Democrats and turned it into a positive such as Biden calling MAGA, garbage. He’s a man of the people , the blue-collar billionaire who resonates with the working class.
Trump press conference from MAGA garbage truck
Cast your vote today and pray. Take people to the polls if need be. Thank the Lord for His mighty hand of protection and for having mercy on America.
So, are you feeling excited, but have a sense of dread about Election Day? It’s totally normal, but do your best to ignore conjecture and focus only on the facts. But most importantly, do not sit out this election because of fear or laziness. We need President Trump.
Here’s a controversial question that needs to be asked: Is it a sin for Christians to vote for the Democrat Party in its current form? I have an answer, but let me present my reasoning before declaring an opinion.
First , I don’t ask this question to be provocative or to point fingers in judgement.My brothers and sisters in Christ, this a query is made in love, not in condemnation. Believe it or not, this observation is also apolitical.
Of course, the Bible does not address voting specifically. It does so in a roundabout way (Deut. 1:13). However, scripture tells us, in unequivocal terms, what is sin. With that disclaimer, here we go.
Based on the biblical definitions of sin; which, by the way, are capital offenses to the Lord worthy of eternal punishment, there is no way to view the Democrat Party other than wicked.
Please don’t confuse my use of the word wicked with the musical or the soon to be released movie. No, the wicked we’re discussing here means morally very bad or evil.
For example, name the Democrats’ signature policy they defend with religious and fanatical zeal. If you guessed abortion, congratulations for paying attention.
What is it about abortion that has caused party leaders like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to threaten Supreme Court Justices that they “unleashed a whirlwind” for striking down Roe v Wade? Why do defenders of abortion vilify anyone who opposes the practice as an extremist?
From their rhetoric, it seems they’ve convinced themselves abortion is a sacred and fundamental right, more important than even free speech. And apparently , the party marches in lockstep when it comes to this signature policy.
Just ask yourself, when is the last time you heard a prominent Democrat break ranks and consistently denounce abortion? Yeah, that’s right; never.
They seem to have no guilt, no qualms about the sanctity of abortion. I believe it’s as the Bible puts it, their “consciences have been seared with a hot iron ( 1 Tim. 4:2)”
In other words, the party is wicked.
Why else would Democrats care little about the genital mutilation of children involved in this so-called medical procedure of gender reassignment surgery? They’re more concerned with cultivating a voting bloc rather than caring about the long-term spiritual , emotional and physical well being of children.
Democrats, please heed this warning. Scripture tells us God especially hates those who hurt children.
“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.–Matt. 18-6 (NIV)
A millstone in the time of Christ weighed about 3000 pounds . So just imagine having one tied to someone’s neck and throwing it into the sea. We’re talking a rapid descent to the ocean floor, with death in a horrific manner,and Jesus said this would be better for them than facing God’s wrath?
Truly scary stuff with a frightening visual. Anyone reading this passage gets the message right away that children are precious to God and that anyone taking advantage of their trust and naïveté will face a terrible punishment from our LORD.
So based on Jesus’ vivid warning, shouldn’t Christians be wary of complicity with evil, by voting for a party that has no inherent desire to protect children, but instead, exploit them?
What is the Democrat Party for? It would seem its party leaders are dedicated only to their own power and affluence, no matter the cost to the country or tragically, to their souls
Based on their policies, Democrats are not only anti-children, they are also anti-God, anti-Christianity, anti-Constitution, anti- family, anti-masculinity, anti-femininity, anti-America, anti-flag, anti-liberty, anti-gun, anti-law, anti-law enforcement, anti-prosperity, anti-truth, anti-beauty, and anti-logic. One could strongly argue this is a party of psychopathic narcissists, who believe themselves above the laws–both temporal and eternal– we, the people, are subject to.
Should a Christian vote for a political party that not only has these values, but proudly parades them? Is it a sin to vote for the Democrat Party in its current form? I say, in boldness and certainty, yes.
It will be forever known as the garbage truck press conference. President Trump trolls Democrats after Joe Biden calls Trump supporters, garbage.
Trump press conference from MAGA garbage truck
Dressed in a reflective orange vest and accompanied by a garbage truck decorated with a MAGA sign, Trump once again took a Democrat attack and turned it into a rallying cry.
“How do you like my garbage truck?” Trump asked the press, “This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.”
President Trump expertly TROLLS Democrats after getting picked up by a Garbage Truck in Green Bay:
"How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden."
Trump kept the garbage man outfit on as he entered the Green Bay rally and recounted to the crowd the background of his attire .
By now most people know President Biden infamously referred to Trump supporters as “garbage” during a zoom call interview, Tuesday. Biden was trying to get more mileage out of Democrat pearl-clutching after a comedian’s poorly timed joke about Puerto Rico at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.
“Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community… just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage?… The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said.
Just an aside, the comedian’s joke about Puerto Rico was based on fact. Puerto Rico is running out of landfills. The island is literally filling with garbage. No surprise the media is silent about this reality.
Puerto Rico growing trash problem
Of course, Biden’s vilification came as Kamala gave her closing statement to the nation from Washington DC’s Ellipse, the site of Trump’s J 6 speech. Biden basically scuttled Kamala’s effort to drive home her recent vilification of Trump as a fascist. Senility? Or is Joe sandbagging his VP?
Whatever Ol Joe’s motivation, he has given Republicans the equivalent of a disparaging newspaper clipping from the opposing team, one week before the big game. “Garbage” is up there with Hillary’s “deplorables” and Obama’s “bitter clingers” as another example of what Democrat elites really think of half the country.
Despite the Democrats continuing to implode, don’t get complacent. Get out and vote and get those fence- sitters you know on the Trump locomotive.
I wonder when the Sunday mockingbird media talk shows will stop inviting JD Vance on. With every interview he causes these moderators open the door in their faces.
Case in point, CNN’s State of the Union where Vance destroyed Jake Tapper’s defense of the deep state. Forgive the cliched analogy, but Vance was the big dog unfazed by Chihuahua Tapper.
Tapper brought Vance on to confront him about General John Kelly’s assessment to The Atlantic magazine of President Donald Trump fitting the profile of a fascist and things went downhill for Tapper from there.
Pay special attention during this contentious interview of the intensity of Tapper’s defense of the deep state’s attacks on Trump. Note also Vance’s brilliant summation of why the deep state hates Trump: They couldn’t control him.
Oh man, the hits keep coming to the Harris/Walz campaign, but not in a good way. Thousands showed up to a Kamala rally in Houston, Tx thinking they would also see a Beyoncé concert. Well, Beyoncé came and did not sing, eliciting boos from the crowd .
After waiting 12 hours, all concert goers got to see was Beyoncé speak for a few minutes, expressing her support for Kamala, before exiting, stage left. Just the day before, MSNBC reported breaking news the Harris/Walz campaign announced Beyoncé would appear and perform at the rally .
MSNBC treated it as breaking news when the Harris campaign announced that Beyoncé would appear AND PERFORM at a rally in Texas.
The pop star did appear but only spoke and did not sing.
Instead, the crowd got a performance from 91 -year-old Willie Nelson and were treated to a Beyoncé playlist near the end of the rally. LOL!
Some in social media are calling this another bait and switch, using Beyoncé to lure a crowd.
BAIT & SWITCH: If Democrats needed anymore evidence that Kamala Harris can't be trusted, last night was the perfect example. Harris supporters were lured for the SECOND time to an event to see Beyoncé perform only to listen to her speak for barely four minutes before fleeing the… pic.twitter.com/9ebM8mBJh7
Remember how the media went wall- to -wall, teasing a rumor Beyoncé would perform at the Democrat National Convention in an effort to boost viewership ratings?
BAIT & SWITCH: Just two months ago the Harris campaign played the so-called Beyoncé Bait & Switch – earning a huge ratings win. Last night 30,000 supporters showed up once again to see Beyoncé perform – she spoke for four minutes. Kamala Harris can't be trusted. Period. pic.twitter.com/bxcUm0xAU1
I seriously cannot understand how any serious person can vote for Kamala when every word that comes out of her mouth and everything connected with her campaign is deceptive. What makes anyone think she would not continue to lie and obfuscate if elected president?
After 45 appeared on numerous rival podcasts, Joe Rogan finally interviews President Donald Trump . The timing couldn’t be more perfect.
Great interrview and Rogan gave Trump nearly three hours . Have to give Rogan his props. He’s on record for once saying he never wanted to interview Trump because he didn’t want to help him.
Hey, everyone makes a mistake. Yours truly was originally a Ted Cruz fan in the 2016 Presidential Election before seeing the light emanating from Trump.
Rogan and Trump
Rogan is the top podcast with millions of subscribers. With less than two weeks before voting this will be huge for Trump.
So, the Democrats’ October surprise is (yawn) Trump is Hitler? That’s it? This is desperation folks; the last effort of a floundering and collapsing campaign.
“Hitler”, the final ad-hominem slur they hurl when you’ve destroyed their arguments and expose the folly of their policies. Problem is the left has been calling President Trump, Hitler, or a fascist since 2015.
Note Kamala’s stern speech in front of the Vice President’s house, staring into the camera with no cackling, no word salad, only deadly seriousness. That’s because she was reading from a teleprompter.
It’s all Kamala’s got right now: hearsay from General John Kelley, Trump’s duplicitous former Chief of Staff who says his former boss fits the mold of fascist.
Whatever…
With two weeks left , Trump is leading Harris in most key national polls and, keep in mind, this is after years of Democrats and Rinos equating him with Hitler, Nazism, fascism racism, and sexism . He’s also been the target of multiple show trials, lawsuits and the three assassination attempts. So guess what leftists, nobody freaking cares about your slander.
Wall-to-wall coverage by the propaganda media won’t help either. No one is buying your lies and hatred. What does have patriots concerned is your incendiary language which seems to be a dog whistle for someone to try another attempt on Trump’s life.
This is a pathetic and despicable slander brought by the least qualified ticket ever to run for president representing a party full of psychopaths. When you get no bump in the polls, and your numbers keep trending downward, you will continue to double down with more shrill alarm; because it’s all you have.
Hate to break it to you Dems, more people are figuring out that what you accuse your enemies of, is what you practice or plan to carryout. There’s your real October surprise Democrats, Americans are on to your gaslighting.
For the longest time, I was trying to place where I had heard Kamala’s word salad before and then it hit me. Kamala Harris evokes Oswald Bates.
Who was Oswald Bates? He was a self-educated prisoner in a skit for the 90’s comedy show, In Living Color, played to perfection by Damon Wayans. A YouTuber figured this connection a year ago and created this hilarious comparison.
I really miss good comedy. We used to laugh at absurdity, now the left normalizes absurdity and it’s no laughing matter.
Like rats leaving a sinking ship, “blue wall” Senate Democrats ditch Kamala and the LA Times refuses to endorse her for President. We’re still two weeks away and anything could happen, but right now this looks bad for the Dems.
The Hill’s headline says it all:
From the Hill:
Democrats running for the Senate in “blue wall” states that will be critical to determining the outcome of the 2024 election are running away from Vice President Harris, signaling that they are hoping to win over some of former President Trump’s voters to keep their seats.
And Democratic candidates in those states have been careful about criticizing Trump during the high-stakes debates. They have focused on policy and their own records without taking many — or any — shots against the Republican nominee.
In other words, these incumbents have seen the internal polling and have determined Kamala is poison. They don’t want their brand dragged down by campaigning with her.
Who are they embracing? Trump!
LOL! You can’t make this up .
The latest ads by Senators Bob Casey,( PA), Sherrod Brown (OH) and the very woke Tammy Baldwin (WI) , tout their policy associations with Trump. It’s called desperation.
Here’s Casey’s ad for an example
You can check out the Brown’s and Baldwin’s ads here and here.
And on top of all this, Can you believe the Los Angeles Times refuses to endorse Kamala? This is a huge blow to the Kamala/Walz campaign.
Published reports say the Times Editorial Board was ready to endorse Harris, but were overruled by owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong. This is the first time since 2004 The Times has not endorsed a (Democrat) presidential candidate.
Ouch! That has to leave a mark when the largest liberal newspaper in a Democrat controlled state doesn’t back the home leftist presidential candidate.
While this is good news, there is still two weeks left before the election. Two weeks is a long time in politics; so expect anything. Keep in mind, we still haven’t seen an October surprise by the Dems yet.
Don’t get complacent. Pray, pray and vote. Let’s do our part to get the vote out by driving those who need transportation to voting locations. Also , take your passion and use it to convince those fence sitters,(including even the occasional reasonable Democrat) why they need to cast their ballot for Trump.
Even with Kamala’s campaign imploding, we must keep the mindset of the underdog.
It’s no secret Trump loves McDonalds, so working there before a scheduled Townhall in Lancaster , Pennsylvania was pure genius. He not only showed his customer-service skills, he also trolled Kamala who claimed her first job was working a McDonalds French fry station.
Just look at the thousands of people who lined the street as the Trump motorcade arrived at the location. The President was greeted with chants of” USA, USA!” Absolutely incredible!
Think Kamala could draw a crowd like this? We’ll see if she follows suit, as it seems the joy has gone out of her campaign.
Financial independence guru Dave Ramsey endorses President Trump in a recent broadcast. And, oh my gosh, he reached his decision in rational, and logical way.
Dave Ramsey endorses Donald Trump on his radio show, says listeners can leave if they’re upset with him, but they can’t cancel him because he owns the show. pic.twitter.com/ypsTzbaZPH
I love how Ramsey uses the left’s mantra of if you don’t like it, don’t watch . That’s what they tell viewers of movies and television shows offended by woke themes and plot lines.
Ramsey says he looked at both candidates objectively as he measured their pluses and minuses. Do you think voters for Kamala are checking any boxes? No, me neither.
A voter honestly measuring the candidates has to agree Trump is the best nominee when it comes to accomplishments and just plain political acumen. Remember, both he and Kamala have records for comparison.
You hear that moderates?
Trump is certainly not the lesser of two evils as moderates , who like to think they’re above it all , love to pontificate. He is hands-down the most qualified leader and the right man for the right time.
On the flip side, Kamala is the wrong candidate for these times, regardless of her DEI qualifications. Being a woman of color is not a skill set, neither is answering questions with a word salad.
Sorry, but the people voting for Kamala are voting only because of selfish and hateful motives. They have an agenda or lifestyle they want to force people to accept and they hate Trump because they see him and MAGA as a dangerous threat to their motives.
Do you ever hear her supporters tout her accomplishments? No. All they can do is gin up fear and hateful rhetoric i.e. “Trump is a fascist.” “Trump is Hitler” or “Trump is a threat to democracy. “
Not sure this tactic is working on voters who are looking for hope and no more of the destructive policies of Kamala and Joe Biden. This regime has been weighed , measured and found wanting by an ever-growing number of Americans.
If you need help checking the boxes, just refer to Dave Ramsey.
With less than twenty days left before Election Day , President Donald Trump/and JD Vance are leading in all swing states while Kamala Harris/ Tim Walz implode. Could it be …?
Kamala’s media blitz has been a disaster. Her latest interview with Fox News’ Brett Baier was especially emblematic. It not only showed her inability to answer a simple straightforward question, but also revealed she is unqualified and lacks the temperament necessary for the leader of the free world. You don’t suppose…?
Nope, not going there; not gonna say it.
And how about the propaganda media? They’re in panic mode. You can see it in their faces as they ratchet up the fascist and Hitler slurs. When you start hearing that rhetoric that’s a sign they’re losing faith in the candidate they had been propping up , well…
Did you know that in early voting in key swing states, Republicans are actually outnumbering Democrats, something not seen in past elections? This is a big deal. Hmm… with all of these factors, could Trump win by a…
Whoa! Not even gonna say it.
So what is the word I’m avoiding? Really, I’m honestly hesitant to say it out loud.
Let’s just say it involves the rapid downward movement of mass or rock on a slope, or a great majority of votes for one side. Get it?
That’s all I’m going to say about Trump on Election Day.
Did the Democrats enlisting Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, to help fire up support for Kamala/Walz, work? Well , let’s just say the two said things to their respective crowds that had voters on both sides wondering: This is helping Kamala?
Over the weekend , Bill Clinton stumped for Harris in Georgia where he preceded to also stump the crowd and the media by basically blaming Laken Riley’s death ,at the hands of an illegal alien, on Kamala’s and Joe Biden’s border policies.
Courtesy: Forbes
Now granted, Clinton said this after pushing the tired Democrat talking point that Donald Trump killed the “bipartisan” Senate border bill, so it sounded to the crowd he was saying that bill would have better vetted illegal immigrants. However Slick Willie isn’t stupid, he knew that line would be turned into an instant soundbite and a likely campaign ad for Trump.
Uh Bill, we asked you to have Kamala’s back , not give her the proverbial shiv.
Then we have Barack Hussein Obama , who let’s be honest, never has had a history of coattails. Remember , this was the guy who had both houses of congress when elected to the Presidency in 2008 , only for the Republicans to gain control of the House of Representatives and add Senate seats in the 2010 midterms. Truth is, Obama’s endorsements have little sway with voters.
Maybe this time with Kamala it would be different? Well no and yes. No , his efforts gave no boost to Kamala’s standing and yes, his cheerleading was different; in that it consisted of scolding black men for supporting Trump and not voting for a woman of color.
Perhaps President Obama, black men understand Trump’s policies did more for them in four years than you did for them in eight years. All you did to blacks was set race relations back 50 years with your divisive policies and rhetoric.
They’re not voting for Kamala because she’s a woman, they voting Trump because she’s a lousy candidate. What speaks volumes is Obama’s assumption of misogyny on the part of the “brothers” , as he put it.
This is helping? It depends on who you’re talking about. Trump’s loving this, while the collapse of Kamala’s campaign continues.
Take heart, folks; the actions of these former Democrat Presidents indicates the party is panicking over Kamala. The reality is setting in of her losing this election…badly.
The many accents of Kamala Harris sounds like the title of a bad situation comedy. Unfortunately for her and the Democrat Party, this comedy is real-life cringe.
What is it about these Dems coming up with these fake accents? Granted, this is not unique to Kamala Harris, I mean who could forget Hilary Clinton’s “I ain’t no ways tahrd,” speech or Joe Biden’s ” They gonna put ya’ll back in chains.”
While Clinton’s and Biden’s examples were pretty much one-offs during their campaigns, Kamala has done these fake accents so many times she’s become a walking meme. It’s so bad, so obvious and so weird, the media has to comment on it.
Check out Fox News’ observation of Kamala’s two accents while speaking to the same union in two different cities on the same day. In my humble opinion, this bit is the most cringe of the examples I will be presenting.
This prompted Fox News’ Steve Doocy to question White House Press Secretary Karine Jean- Pierre about the southern tone of the first union speech. Jean-Pierre of course, tried to portray Doocy as the kook for even asking the question.
Americans aren’t paying attention to Kamala’s accent, Karine? Then why this post about Kamala’s fake Latina accent while speaking before a Hispanic audience?
Kamala dropped the Blaccent so she can insult Hispanics in her new Latina accent, and became her 5th alias, ‘CharHoe-Mala Harritinez’
And speaking of hilarious, so was her recent appearance on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. If having a beer with the host (so she could appear folksy) wasn’t cringe enough, she then broke into a Jamaican riff when talking about Hurricane relief.
Have you no sense woman? Surely people aren’t fooled by your patronizing. (My Jamaican commentary)
Unfortunately , it’s not just the pseudo dialect that annoys people, it’s the accompanying cackle. Exhibit A, this speech at the Congressional Black Caucus Dinner.
As I mentioned earlier, Kamala has become a walking meme. Ladies and gentlemen, the latest meme, the “Accent Switch Kamala” doll.
This woman has no self-awareness, so I’m sure the situation comedy, “The many accents of Kamala Harris” will continue in all its cringe-worthy comedy gold. However, I predict its continued ratings fall and cancellation on November 5. (insert cackle here)
In a victory for free speech, a giant “Vote for Trump” sign can now be shown in all its lighted glory in upstate New York . This, thanks to New York judge tossing out a Dem lawsuit prohibiting the display.
The massive sign sits atop the Sticker Mule building in Amsterdam, New York. Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino fired up the sign in front of an enthusiastic crowd to applaud the victory.
Libs are losing their collective minds over the ruling . And speaking of empty heads, the lawsuit was brought in the first place by the Democrat Mayor of Amsterdam, Michael Cinquanti .
Cinquanti sued to shut down the sign because it “presents a dangerous distraction and impacts traffic flow,” especially at night when illuminated. Could it also be Cinquanti certainly doesn’t want any undecided voters seeing the sign and deciding to go Trump? Nah… that couldn’t be a reason.
By the way , you ever notice how much Dems love the word “dangerous”? They always pull that word out, complete with condescending tone, whenever conservatives hit a little too close to home with criticism, memes, or in this case, free speech.
Constantino explains the purpose of the sign is to celebrate that manufacturing can return to the United States of America and a certain underdog.
A New York judge has lifted the order that prevented the giant "Vote for Trump" sign from being displayed & lit up at the Sticker Mule building in upstate New York
“We are all set to light it up!” – Anthony Constantino
President Donald J. Trump has a knack for inspiring Americans to remember their liberty infused DNA. Why do you think the establishment — consisting of Dems , the Uniparty , Marxists and globalists– hate him so much?
You have to love American patriots like Anthony Constantino. He’s just an everyman, just like you and me, standing up to tyranny. God bless you, sir.
Tucker Carlson’s fascinating interview with Elon Musk crosses a wide range of topics, including the 2024 Presidential Election, the use of Starlink for Hurricane Helene victims , Jeffrey Epstein and P. Diddy and even religion.

Kamala’s terrible , horrible, no good , very bad week continued with a 60 Minutes interview, Monday night .To say it didn’t go well is an understatement.
Vice President Cackles could not answer tough questions without going into her usual meanderings. Now a patriot by the name of Maze on X, discovered CBS completely re-edited the interview for You Tube, removing her word salad answer about Israel.
Remember Kamala’s word salad answer about Israel on 60 Minutes? It’s gone.
The Conservative Treehouse reports it took CBS a full 36 hours to upload the interview for YouTube. 36 hours ? 36 hours to upload a broadcast? Obviously it was edited.
Here’s the entire (uploaded ) interview :
Is a touched up interview enough to keep the wheels from falling off the Harris/Walz campaign? I think not.
First, there was that Vice Presidential Debate between Kamala’s running mate , Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Trump’s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance. Vance wiped the floor with Walz who admitted he was a “knucklehead” after failing to address why he lied about visiting Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.
You know it was a horrible outing for the Dems when the left-leaning Politico started questioning if Walz is hurting the campaign.
Then Hurricane Helene hit, causing widespread destruction in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina. While Kamala left a fundraising event in Las Vegas to fly back to Washington DC for a briefing of the damage, Trump visited hurricane ravaged Valdosta, Georgia.
The Harris/Walz sent out this photo of Kamala trying to appear presidential which … backfired. This meme says it all.
Kamala is trying to FAKE AND STAGE being Presidential, when the photo shows she's talking on a phone that's not plugged in
Meanwhile Trump looking like a real president bringing supplies to Valdosta, Georgia, and North Carolina
Kamala did arrive to survey the damage and announce federal government help. Unfortunately , her announcing the pittance of $750 from FEMA to Hurricane Helene victims made Kamala the face of a government that, more and more people are becoming convinced, doesn’t care about American citizens.
As if this isn’t bad enough for Cackles , President Joe Biden , who many believe was forced to drop out of the Presidential campaign, keeps popping up in inopportune fashion , undermining her efforts to gaslight… er … connect with voters. Maybe Ol Joe’s not as senile as believed.
This is the sole reason Joe Biden came to the press briefing today. To get his revenge on Kamala Harris 👀
“We’re singing from the same song sheet. She helped pass all the laws. She was a major player in everything we’ve done.” pic.twitter.com/lz3P2y6oKv
Finally, there was the show-stopping teleprompter malfunction showing that Kamala is literally speechless without a script.
Meanwhile, Kamala’s media blitz continues. As of this writing, she gave an interview to the Call Her Daddy podcast (excerpt here) and will continue taking hard-hitting , insightful questions from the likes of Steven Colbert and Howard Stern.
Will these appearances stop the damage of Kamala’ s terrible , horrible, no good , very bad week or extend it into a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad month? We have less than thirty days to find out.
Is Tim Walz is feeling the heat from his 30 past visits to China? Walz’s very weird and awkward moment at the Vice Presidential Debate makes voters wonder.
Talk about a show-stopper.
Moderator Margaret Brennan asked Governor Walz why he lied about visiting Tiananmen Square during the protest in 1989. Instead of just copping to it , Walz, instead, vomited out a mea culpa justifying his past visits to China.
His response had nothing to do with the original question, so Brennan pressed him again. And get this, Walz concluded his response with the same lie ! LOL.
From that He learned “what needed to be in governance.” That could be taken a whole number of ways.
Despite the moderators best efforts to put Walz in the best possible light, they simply could not overcome his constant squirrelly movements and weird facial expressions.
If Joe Biden is a walking gaffe machine, Walz and Kamala are meme gold. And Walz may have sunk whatever remaining hopes for Harris/Walz ticket with the following additional verbal miscue.
That’s right, Walz really said he’s become friends with school shooters. President Trump immediately called Walz out with this post on X:
“Second time he has said, ‘I’ve been friends with school shooter.’ What does he mean by this? Is he insane?”
Of course, Walz’s historically bad performance does not take away from J.D. Vance, who did a masterful job with the facts to stymie both Walz and the CBS moderators. Vance was certainly not my first VP choice for Trump, but I have to say I was impressed.
Whereas Walz kept taking notes furiously , looking down or to the side, Vance looked directly into the camera and presented a confident grin or warm smile when listening to Walz’s retorts. Senator Vance’s January 6 response commenting that Trump did , in fact, engage in a peaceful transfer of power on January 20, Biden’s inauguration , was masterful.
Vance’s response flew in the face of the media and Democrat narrative about Trump’s being an existential danger to democracy on J6. It was a unique counter to the media’s demonization of Trump.
Vance then answered that Kamala’s calls for censorship is the bigger threat to Democracy. And speaking of democracy, if I have one gripe about Vance ,Trump and commentators like Tucker Carlson ,to certain degree , is their lack of pushback against this notion of America as a democracy. America was founded as a representative, constitutional republic and it’s high time for that reiteration.
Excuse my rant.
Meanwhile, Walz’s very weird and awkward moment at the Vice Presidential Debate continues the downfall of the flailing Harris/Walz ticket.
(Note this is an updated post, first published August 19,2024)
The more one learns about the level of wickedness entrenched in the levers of government, education, science, media and entertainment in Western Civilization, a sense of futility can set in. This begs a question for the God-fearing Christian: Is it time for imprecatory prayers?
An imprecation is invoking a curse of misfortune upon someone. But doesn’t that go against New Testament teaching about loving your enemies and turning the other cheek?
Yes, it does, but only if you invoke such prayers for personal reasons such as wishing evil upon people or vengeance. When we invoke these curses, we are to do so not against our personal enemies, but God’s enemies.
But aren’t our adversaries, God’s adversaries? Not necessarily.
In our pride, we could consider anyone who wrongs us , an enemy. When this happens, we are certainly not reacting in love. However, hating the evil works of those who mock God, now we’re getting somewhere.
God loves us, therefore the Christian loves God. God hates evil, therefore, the Christian hates evil. Anyone , or any entity that declares wickedness over God’s word and precepts, is an enemy of God, therefore, that person or entity is our enemy.
Get it?
Biblically, imprecatory psalms are the psalmists’ call to bring down destruction, calamity and God’s anger and judgement upon His enemies. Again, I say God’s enemies, not any individuals who have personally done injustice to us.
God’s enemies refers to any entity– be it a religious system , political ideology, scientific theory or whatever–that mocks , rejects or blasphemes the triune God: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. Invoking imprecatory prayers comes only after the enemies’ rejection of every call for repentance through our prayers and exhortation.
Invoking such prayers should only come as a last resort, not a first strike. Imprecatory prayers should only come after praying in God’s will and careful study of the Bible.
The major imprecatory Psalms are Psalms 5, 10, 17, 35, 58, 59, 69, 70, 79, 83, 109, 129, 137, and 140. At first reading, some of the curses could be perceived as harsh according to modern Christian sensibilities.
For instance , in Psalm 69:28 David prays his enemies “be blotted from book of the living,” seems contradictory to Jesus commanding we love our enemies and pray for them that persecute you, (Matthew 5:44).” Jesus is talking about our personal relationships with individuals who have wronged us. On the other hand, if a person preaches an ideology sparking division or other harm to the church body, that person is an enemy of God.
In Psalm 137, the psalmist calls for God to dash the babies of the Edomites against the rocks. A shocking image, if read only on its own.
However, within the context of Psalm 137, the psalmist is asking for God’s justice to repay the evil committed against the Israelites, His covenant people. In other words, it was highly likely that among the atrocities the Edomites committed against Israel, was dashing Hebrew babies against the rocks.
The temptation for modern Christians is to cherry pick the Psalms they like while dismissing uncomfortable ones, like the imprecatory Psalms, as irrelevant. This , at best, is a questionable practice .
Imprecations are not merely Old Testament practice, but also prevalent in the New Testament. Consider that Jesus quoted Psalm 69 in two instances (John 2:17; 15:25).
The Apostle, Paul, also issued an imprecation when he urged believers to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:20-21):
” To the contrary, ‘if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.’ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”—Romans 12:20-21 (ESV)
Paul’s imprecation of “hot coals” on your enemy’s head was a quote from Proverbs 25:22 . The metaphor , of course, signifies judgement.
Even the prayer of “Come, Lord Jesus” is an imprecation. With the call for Jesus’ return is the implication of final judgement of God’s enemies.
This comes from a longing for God’s justice to punish evil. We are repulsed by the spirit of lawlessness due to the regeneration of our hearts by Christ.
Why the inherent disgust? It’s because this lawless spirit originates from none other than the evil one, the devil.
With this in mind, may we understand that the conflict is spiritual. In other words, we are engaged in spiritual warfare.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.– Ephesians 6:12-15 (ESV)
Read the imprecatory Psalms listed . Study them ; meditate and pray whatever Psalm speaks to your heart, back to God. Praying God’s word back to Him are the most powerful and effective prayers.
Yes, we are to love our enemies. But love doesn’t come at the expense of God’s justice toward the spiritual forces of darkness and their minions here in the world.
So, is it time for imprecatory prayers against the unrepentant, unregenerate enemies of God? I say yes. America is in dire straits, spiritually and politically, therefore, imprecatory prayers are desperately needed for this nation.
I suggest reading and praying each of the listed imprecatory Psalms, daily. Take a psalm each day and when you have completed the list, start the process again. If you like , replace the pronoun, “I” with “we” or “our” in your prayers of the psalms.
I plan on repeating this cycle until the election and beyond. I hope you will do so as well. For our enemy is not only the Democrat Party or RINO’s, but a satanic ideology that has entrenched itself in every institution in this nation.
This is spiritual, people; therefore, only God can restore this nation. We must seek His help through diligent prayer.
…(I)f my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.—2 Chronicles 7:14 (ESV)
What have we got to lose? Well…everything, actually.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12 (NIV)
I reflected upon the tenacity of Winston Churchill in a previous post and why such leadership is needed now in America.
.
Churchill gave many powerful speeches to galvanize the British during World War II, but one of his most famous is his “We will fight on the beaches,” or “Never Surrender,” speech, delivered on June 4, 1940″ This speech set the tone of British resistance to Nazi Germany throughout the rest of the war.
Since the need for prayer has been weighing on my heart , I thought it would be interesting to continue this call for personal and national prayer in the tone of Churchill’s legendary address . Christians must stand in Christ and resist the darkness engulfing America.
You can compare my piece to the actual speech which I will include after the post. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
First, my post…
I have faith and confidence that if all God-fearing Christians do their duty, if prayer isn’t neglected, we shall prove our worthiness to defend this nation, we shall resolve to defend our home, America, to stand in Christ and resist this onslaught of spiritual war, and to hold against the peril of marxism, indefinitely .
I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty as Bible-believing Christians, if God’s will is sought, and trust in Him is strengthened through faith, we shall prove ourselves to spiritually defend our land of the free and the home of the brave, to ride out the onslaught of spiritual war , and to conquer the menace of tyranny, in Jesus’ name. At this time, this is all we can do. That is the resolve of our King of Kings and Lord of lords’ disciples. This is God’s will, His people seeking Him in prayer in their cause and need, and in their need will defend to the death the gospel and this land given as to us by a loving and Holy God. The Kingdom of heaven linked with repentant man for His glory, and His alone. Even though large institutions of America and Western Civilization have fallen or may fall into the grip of the enemy and the repugnant mechanism of satanic rule, we shall not grow weary and faint.
We shall press in as necessary, we will pray in America ,
we will pray while on rivers and lakes,
we will pray with authority in the air,
we shall defend the nation according to our God-given talents,
we will pray in our cars,
we will pray in our homes,
we will pray in our churches and synagogues,
we will pray in the mountains and deserts;
we will never quit and even if this country were, or a large part of it surrendered to the devil, then our brothers and sisters beyond the oceans , armed with the Holy Spirit and guarded by angels, would continue the struggle, until, in God’s perfect timing, the Gospel of Jesus , in all its glory brings us into eternity , resurrected as new creations in Christ.
***********************
I cannot over-emphasize the dire need for prayer in these perilous times in America and Western Civilization. It is dereliction of duty not to do so
Now, here’s the part of Churchill’s famous speech I honored…
“I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty’s Government-every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation. The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,
we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”
You can read and listen to the speech in its entirety here.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Ephesians 6:18 (NIV)
People are waking up to the dangers of communism as they see it playing out in the leftist policies of Democrats, aided by Republicans in name only (RINOs). It’s time for revisiting the 45 Communist Goals for America if you want to understand where we are as a country right now.
Before reading these goals, understand communism did not collapse with the Berlin Wall and / or the fall of the Soviet Union. It remade itself and, therefore, is still a very clear and present danger to America.
This excerpt of the Communist Manifesto was read on the House Floor 61 years ago . What’s all the more amazing, was the reading taking place in a Democrat controlled House of Representatives by a Florida Democrat Congressman!
Could you imagine a Democrat congressperson reading this from the floor today? Today’s Democrat Party is living proof of goal number 15.
Check out these goals and ask yourself the communist success rate.
The Communist Manifesto that was read on the House Floor THE 45 COMMUNIST GOALS AS READ INTO THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, 1963 Congressional Record–Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963 Current Communist Goals EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, January 10, 1963 Mr. HERLONG. “Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America. At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following “Current Communist Goals,” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen: [From “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen] CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
Do away with all loyalty oaths.
Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
Gain control of all student newspapers.
Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [“]united force[“] to solve economic, political or social problems.
Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
Internationalize the Panama Canal.
Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
The Connally Reservation is the only goal unfulfilled by the communists. Its repeal would mean Americans falling under the jurisdiction of the World Court which would trump the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
America is literally on the ropes and what’s scary is the ignorance of so many to this danger. President Trump gets it, which is why he called Kamala Harris out as a Marxist in their only debate. Trump has rightly called policies of Democrats and RINO’s, communist.
Now do you understand why every institution seems to hate Trump? Do you now understand the dangerous rhetoric of Democrats and their incitement to violence against Trump and MAGA?
If you are not doing so , you need to be on your knees praying for God’s mighty hand against the enemy within. The communists were able to make incredible strides because we were asleep .
We are awake now, without the luxury of time or apathy. To quote Fred Sanford, “This is the big one Elizabeth!” This election is for all the marbles, folks.
America is on the verge of going full communist , with the people losing our God-given rights if the Democrats win the Presidency again. If you think I’m exaggerating , just look at the damage to our rights, culture and economy in four years of Biden and Harris …ahem… “running things”
For example, look at the assaults to the First Amendment and free speech. Think of what you can no longer say except in hushed tones among trusted friends and consider the Democrats and RINOs’ desire to prosecute anyone criticizing elections, policy or politicians, via protest or even memes. Ask yourself: Is this your father’s Democrat Party?
All we can do for now is volunteer, donate and cast our vote in November . Until then, I challenge all of you to pray daily for this country and for the safety of President Trump and his family. Pray also against those who plan election fraud and violence.
I say it again: PRAY! Most importantly , pray according to God’s will.
Pray whatever God places on your heart. However,I believe the time has also come for imprecatory prayers to God . If you’re not familiar with these particular psalms and prayers, please read my previous post.
Finally, I humbly suggest we keep revisiting these 45 communist goals and share them with as many people you can think of. I also encourage you to read The Naked Communistby W. Cleon Skousen . Knowing the enemy is first step of defeating them
I have found myself thinking a lot about Winston Churchill and his “Never Give In” speech. Listening to it speaks also to our times.
I invite you to listen to the speech in its entirety, since it’s just over four minutes. Listen carefully and disregard the close caption.
The enemy within believes the best days of America are behind us. These forces have infiltrated our politics, local, state and federal governments, corporations, education, law, the military and entertainment. They believe they are winning.
We who support freedom of speech, the right to bear arms , freedom of religion and the right of free assembly are called MAGA extremists. Our standard bearer is branded an existential threat to democracy because he threatens the power of those who hate us, patriotic Americans.
As long as we live and breathe we are not defeated. These are exciting days and we are blessed to be alive right now.
We are Americans and it’s in our DNA to hate tyranny. Stand strong and have faith because God is on our side. Never give in.
I’ll say it again, pray for President Trump and America after this second assassination attempt at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. Praise God that President Trump is ok and the suspected shooter is in custody.
Law enforcement has identified Ryan Wesley Routh, 58 as the would-be assassin. He was approximately 300 to 500 yards away from President Trump , hiding in shrubbery with an scoped AK-47 style rifle, according to law enforcement officials.
Secret Service agents were one to two holes ahead of President Trump when they spotted the muzzle of the rifle protruding through a chainlink fence. Routh fled the scene after Secret Service opened fire. Cops found the rifle, two backpacks full of ceramic plating and a go-pro camera.
Courtesy: The Conservative TreehouseCourtesy: Gateway Pundit
Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said a witness helped to ID Routh and his vehicle, “Fortunately, we were able to locate a witness that came to us and said, “Hey, I saw the guy running out of the bushes, he jumped into a black Nissan, and I took a picture of the vehicle and the tags, which was great.” Said the Secret Service agent who spotted this and opened fire did a “fantastic job.”
Martin County Sheriff’s office spotted Routh’s vehicle, detained him and then took him into custody. According to the Associated Press (AP) , Routh’s demeanor was calm and flat, with little emotion.
According to internet reports, Routh, a construction worker, said in a series of X posts that he fought in Ukraine in 2022. He also posted efforts to recruit soldiers to fight for Ukraine.
Obviously this story is developing.
What’s the reaction of the media and Democrats you ask?
MSNBC blames Trump’s “violent rhetoric” for stoking the attempt on his life. Rather than condemning the violence, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wrote on X a diatribe about the defunct Project 2025 and the prospect of a national abortion ban .
He wrote:
Extreme MAGA Republicans are the party of a national abortion ban and Trump’s Project 2025.
And they accuse Republicans of extremist language.
Meanwhile, steel yourselves, it’s going to get crazier until November. The forces that want to stop Trump are desperate and any number of things could happen.
Let’s take a moment what’s to review the state of things: Two assassination attempts against President Trump , The threat of World War 3 with the Israeli -Hamas War and Russia -Ukraine War, (Monkeypox, Bird Flu and resurgent Covid ) pandemic fears, military- aged men from multiple countries entering through the southern border, dangerous rhetoric from Democrats and RINOs calling Trump a threat to democracy, cyber attacks, and the threat of economic collapse. All of this while we have a senile president , an incompetent vice president and the people wondering, who is running the country?
In a previous post, I called for all hands in prayer. I hope you are doing so and if not, I encourage you to start when you finish this post.
Please pray for God’s continued protection over President Trump and his family. Please pray for America that we would return to a fear of God and repent of the idols we have worshipped instead.
Ask Jesus for discernment to determine good from evil. Hate evil and pray for our enemies that they would know Jesus as Lord and Savior. Offer to the Lord all kinds of prayers including imprecatory ones if God places it on your heart.
I say also praise God for His revealing the evil ensconced in the levers of power and influence in America and the West. The beginning of their end is people becoming aware of what are facing. This is spiritual warfare which can only be fought ,through our prayers, by God.
Let us remember that God is control, and as Christians, He works all things for our greater good. What is meant for evil , He will use for good. May we rest in this confidence of His power, especially in these next few months and beyond.
Kamala’s word salad returns in her first interview since her surprising debate performance. The interview with the Philadelphia ABC affiliate took a very familiar turn after a simple question.
ABC 6 ran the full unedited interview . This, after bias charges brought against the network news in the aftermath of last week’s Presidential Debate.
What’s patently clear is Kamala isn’t ready for prime time. She does not have the ability to answer even the most softball question without a confusing mix of cliches and platitudes. Without a teleprompter, she flails in desperate search for a coherent thought.
How can anyone think Kamala is capable of leading the free world? Can you imagine this half-wit dealing with Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping?
Kamala’s word salad returns and honestly, is anyone surprised? That’s the Kamala we know, not the over-rehearsed, posturing vessel attempting to gaslight voters at last week’s debate.
VP Harris is merely a younger version of Joe Biden with the same prerequisites : a cognitively deficient, but malleable figurehead. But hey…she sure looked better than Trump in that debate, huh?
Democrats have no problem censoring free speech, a violation of the First Amendment. The 2nd Amendment? They would love to see it abolished. But when it comes to abortion, the Democrats’ most sacred right, it’s hands off.
Courtesy:CNN
More Americans are questioning the Democrats’ absolute lack of loyalty to the Bill of Rights. And a growing number of people are trying to figure the reasons for their obsessive devotion to the right of a woman to terminate the life of her baby, whether inside or outside the womb.
From their passionate defense of abortion , you would think it is the epitome of liberty. Democrats have so thoroughly brainwashed their base, voters believe abortion is ,in fact , freedom.
According to Democrats, the freedom for a woman to end the life growing inside her womb, is a right worthy of sanctification. Anyone questioning this or calling for any limitations is an extremist; in their eyes, worthy of cancellation.
Why do you think they lost their minds over the Supreme Court striking down Roe V. Wade and returning abortion to the states? Because voters can now have a say , rather than the federal government dictating from above.
Freedom is not life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to pro -abortion Democrats. Instead freedom is life and liberty through unfettered abortion.
I write this piece not to judge or condemn women who made the decision to abort their babies. God does not condemn these women who made this life-changing choice. His unconditional love covers a multitude of sins, for anyone.
All of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Thankfully God sent His Son, Jesus who ransomed us from sin with His sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection three days later.
Jesus did this to offer us life, not death. He gives eternal life to the millions of innocent babies slaughtered in abortion mills and the Son of God offers forgiveness, grace, mercy and healing to women who made this fateful decision .
Our Lord and Savior even offers his grace and mercy to the clinic doctors and nurses, who repent and turn to Him. All it takes is sincerely asking in prayer.
How tragic that abortion is the Dems’ signature issue. Abortion’s glory is darkness . It’s beauty, barbarism and it’s life, death.
In what may be the only debate of the 2024 Presidential Campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris beat the odds, showing up poised and well -rehearsed, while President Donald Trump debated not only her , but the two moderators. Did Kamala get by with a little help from her friends?
The mission for ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis seemed to be putting Trump on the defensive . When he punched back, they tried to fact -check and dismiss him as if he were some angry old man. Did it work?
ABC Moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis
Maybe it worked to a certain degree, since Trump was clearly annoyed and wasn’t his usual zinger-slinging self. Kamala , on the other hand wasn’t her usual word-salad, cliche-laden , cackling self, which actually stood out more.
Kamala portrayed herself as measured and thoughtful; two traits never usually associated with her. As the debate went on, her supposed humble confidence became condescendingly smug .
I commented to some friends, either she was given the debate questions or the moderators were given a heads-up about the talking points she rehearsed for the past two weeks. She was weirdly too smooth.
It was like the D student who suddenly aces his chemistry final. Everyone wonders ,”Did he suddenly get smart or did he find a way to cheat?”
Harris, known for her cackle , redundant aphorisms and reputation for not being the brightest person in the room, is suddenly articulate, no-nonsense and , dare I say, knowledgable? Perhaps she had a little help from her friends, Muir and Davis?
The two moderators fact-checked Trump on his comments of Haitian immigrants eating Ohio residents’ cats and dogs ,the 2020 Presidential results and Democrat stances regarding late term abortions. Yet when Harris alluded to Trump insulting U.S. soldiers with the debunked “suckers and losers” line and smearing him with the equally debunked Charlottesville “very fine people” on both sides, not a peep from the fake news representatives.
Is anyone truly surprised by the bias? It’s like a dog’s relationship with a tree : symbiotic.
Despite their efforts to dismiss Trump as angry, He always managed to get the last word. That’s presidential. There were several instances where Kamala was looking to the moderators to bail her out. That’s not presidential.
Not sure most Americans are buying the gaslight. Will one debate change this presidential race? We’ll see if Kamala gets a post-debate bounce, since she did not get one after the Democrat National Convention.
That’s something to keep in mind, most Americans do not like Harris. She comes off as fake and condescending .
Vice President Kamala Harris
.
I don’t believe the Dem spin, which we will have to endure for the next week or so, will move the needle much either. This weekend’s polls will determine whether my prediction is right or wrong.
However, I think the biggest factor retarding any Harris gains is a topic not covered in the debate or mentioned at the DNC. That topic was the assassination attempt against President Trump.
That the Democrats never acknowledged or even thanked whatever god they worship for Trump’s survival , speaks more loudly than any biased debate question. Such an omission is exhibit A of their incivility, and win at all costs mentality.
The left wants that incident down the memory hole , but it won’t work. Trump’s survival formed an indelible bond with voters on both sides of the aisle.
Trump spilled his blood for this country, while Kamala crammed a passable debate performance with a little help from her friends. What do you think voters will remember?
You’ve undoubtedly heard the phrase, all hands on deck? Well, America is at an all hands in prayer moment in history.
The 2024 Presidential election is not only the most important in our lifetime; I believe it will be an existential event for this nation and what it truly stands for.
If you are not praying weekly, daily, or hourly for America, now is the time to start. Pray individually, gather for prayer meetings, pray at the dinner table, pray on the way to work, pray during your lunch hour, pray on the trip home, pray at bedtime, pray upon waking, pray when God is heeding you to do so.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people–Ephesians 6:18
Pray early and often: when you are joyful, when you lack hope. when you feel hatred toward your enemies, when you are worried, when you are hopeful, or when all seems lost. Pray always, and on all occasions for this country.
God hears the prayers of His people . You have to only to read 2 Chronicles 7:14:
… if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Confess and repent of your sins before God as you seek His face. Don’t worry about eloquence, and refrain from rote prayers.
You can even choose to offer up imprecatory prayers. Whatever you decide to pray, do so from your heart.
Ask your requests in the name of Jesus, who intercedes for us against satan’s accusations, always. Pray also in the Holy Spirit who communicates to God when you can’t find the words.
Finally, pray according to God’s will and purposes. When you pray in this manner, you are acknowledging and trusting in His complete sovereignty over all creation .
I encourage you, if God places it on your heart, to fast along with your prayer. Fasting is not merely some religious tool, but an important enhancement to prayer.
Fasting demonstrates our desperate desire for God’s intervention. By denying our physical needs, we can place our total focus on God when we pray.
When should you fast? That is entirely up to you.
Try skipping breakfast or lunch or even both for a certain period. You could even choose fasting for a whole day or two.
If or when you feel hunger , press in with prayer. Seeking God in this context lifts prayer to whole new level.
Whatever length of time you choose for your fast, make sure to consume plenty of water. If you have a medical condition make sure you check with your doctor before fasting.
I highly encourage you to fast when you are praying for this nation and/or the state or city in which you live. We are not only praying against corrupt officials and lawlessness , but also against the spiritual forces of darkness behind it all.
We desperately need a breakthrough in America. This country must reverse course from our current path of wickedness, and return to God.
We have less than two months before the 2024 Presidential Election and the clock is ticking. Godly morality is needed in America, as well as a return to law and order.
I hope you will share this piece with as many like-minded Christians as possible. It’s time for all hands in prayer.
Letthe peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples raise You. Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy! For You shall judge the people righeously, and cover the nations on earth.—Psalm 67:3-4 (NKJV)
Despite the evil we see revealed , despite the widespread institutional corruption, despite the ugliness in our arts and entertainment, God’s righteous hand is still on this nation. This is why I am praising God for America’s current state.
God deserves our praise because the light of His truth is revealing everything to us about the darkness engulfing this country. Put simply, people are waking up out their apathetic stupor and realizing something is spiritually wrong with America right now.
God is opening our eyes to the gender madness we are told to accept as normal. He has made clear the double standard of a two-tiered justice system that punishes threats to the power structure– truth-telling patriots– but not criminals.
With this awareness, comes the realization the power structure protects itself via lies and obfuscation echoed by political pundits, elected officials, academia, major corporations, medicine and science. Anyone challenging their narrative is disparaged as a conspiracy theorist, or at worst, a threat to democracy.
However, a peculiar reaction is occurring in a growing number of people. The term “conspiracy theorist” no longer has the power of derision it once had .
When the establishment fires off the slur at a specific individual or group , there is now the growing suspicion said target may be a truth-teller. This , of course , is now causing patriots to re-think what was automatically dismissed in the past as tin-foil-hat thinking.
For many, the assumption now is most of what corporate media says is a lie until proven otherwise. Trust in the so-called “experts”has eroded in these awakened Americans. More people, on both sides of the political spectrum, are becoming skeptics.
What slapped the people awake? I believe it was the Covid pandemic.
The monumental governmental overreach was surreal and, at the same time, instructive. We saw, first hand, the tactics used to trump the Constitution in the name of safety.
On the front end of the pandemic was fear of death justifying the lockdowns. On the back end was fear of death and loss of employment justifying the mRNA shots. In the middle was censorship of any information challenging the “science”.
Through the door of this pandemic came measures more akin to communist regimes than the United States of America. Still, God was/is in control; therefore what was meant for evil, He used for good.
Why do I say this?
Yeah, circumstances beat us up psychologically, and mentally during that strange period. Speaking for myself, spiritually, God poured out discernment and a reliance on Him, no matter the outcome.
Many people , like myself , never feared the virus. They were , however, angered over the willingness of co-workers and family and acquaintances succumbing to fear and ceding their constitutional rights.
Some four years later, we continue to read reports the masks and social distancing were literally made up . Could these be part of the reasons less people are getting the Covid booster shots?
Discerning people began asking why the threats of job loss for refusing the vaccine? Many wondered why did government health officials and media demonized alternative treatments such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin? We asked why governments shut down schools when children were the least affected by the virus? Sadly, we asked why some young athletes were dying suddenly?
We asked the questions and the answers were like a dousing of ice cold water. More and more people began to wonder if the draconian actions taken by government were for our safety or for something else?
That something else is driving many to pray for this country. Americans are seeking, through prayer, God’s face to once again shine on this country. We see that fifty years of turning our backs to God have gained us nothing but fear, darkness and decline; the current state of America.
Thank God for these questions and answers. This is the impetus for prayers of total surrender and crying out for God’s mercy and grace. This is why I am praising God for America’s current state.
Guess it wasn’t right-wing conspiracy theory. In a letter to Congress, Facebook/Meta Mark Zuckerberg admits censoring Americans for the Biden Administration.
Zuckerberg says he regrets the removal of content from Facebook regarding Covid 19 information counter to the government narrative and promoting the intelligence services’ lie that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation. Here’s the entire letter:
So now Zuckerberg is sorry?
This guy’s spineless actions amounted to criminal election interference and led to vaccine injuries of thousands of Americans who took the jab. Sorry just doesn’t cut it.
Zuckerberg may look like a zombie, but he’s not stupid. He did the administration’s bidding in 2020 because he wanted Trump to lose: pure and simple. This was election interference by not fully informing voters at the behest of a rival political party .
Now, he’s reading the tealeaves and saying, “Oh crap , Trump’s likely to win re-election.” Time for a c.y.a” before this bites me, you kn0w where?
Perhaps Zuckerberg is coming clean out of a sincere sense of guilt and remorse? Maybe, but my skepticism says otherwise. .
My guess is this guy sees the writing on the wall of an imminent Trump Presidential victory, and wants to lessen any legal consequences.
Whether Zuckerberg’s mea culpa is sincere or not, his admission shows ,figuratively, the dam is crumbling. Hopefully, this will open the eyes of more patriotic Democrats and awaken them from their brainwashed stupor of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) .
We need a united country to overcome the tyranny of the Uniparty and the deep state. This means Dems and Republicans batting for the same team and fighting for the same cause.
I have a theory that one reason communism has such a difficult time establishing a hold in the United States of America is because of our descent from a rebel spirit that hates tyranny . Patriot Joe Dan Gorman adds to my hypothesis with his latest installment of Intellectual Froglegs: “Descendants of men who refused to be ruled.”
Please watch this video in its entirety. Mr. Gorman brilliantly illustrates the existential stakes of the 2024 Presidential election.
The enduring legacy of our Founding Fathers is the Constitution of the United States. It is the sole reason America has not gone the way of Europe, Canada, New Zealand and Australia in the governmental embrace of tyranny.
George Washington , as the father of this country, set the standard of faith in God, courage, strength, resolve, fortitude and humility. We are the descendants of that spirit; of men who refused to be ruled.

Yes, you read that right: I predict Kamala Harris will become President of the United States. It looks pretty obvious folks.
Kamala will make history becoming not only the first female President of the United States , but also the female president of color. It’s democracy… or something to that effect.
Yes, Kamala only speaks in word salad and so far hasn’t taken any hard questions from the media about her policies. So what if she ducked out of the Fox News Presidential Debate ?
A couple of months ago, many Americans considered her as one of the worst Vice Presidents ever, and an intellectual lightweight. Now she’s the female version of Barack Obama (make of that what you will).
The media is carrying out a full-court press to convince the public she’s the greatest politician ever. They’re manipulating polls and gaslighting the public about Kamala’s past failures, such as her role as the border czar.
It’s not working , because her polls are tanking. Her honeymoon period is coming to an end .
The only time she draws large crowds is if it’s connected with a concert. On her own, she may draw crowds in the dozens or hundreds, but certainly not in the tens of thousands like President Donald Trump.
Her running mate, Tim Walz, is a disaster when considering his past. As governor of Minnesota, Walz encouraged Black Lives Matter rioters…er protestors to burn, sack and pillage Minneapolis. When he finally called in the National Guard, the rioters committed millions of dollars in property damage including burning down a police station.
Waltz also created a statewide snitch hotline in Minnesota to go after people violating the Covid lockdowns. You know, those criminals who decided they weren’t going to live their lives in fear , gathered with like-minded friends and family and dared to earn a living?
Former military personnel and VP candidate J.D. Vance are accusing Walz of stolen valor for embellishing his service in past speeches. Walz as a younger man is reported to have taken nearly 30 trips to China(!) and was recently debunked, by his wife no less, that his children were the result of IVF.
So, the Dems have probably the most incompetent and dishonest candidates ever to run for the Oval Office. So why do I predict Kamala will be president?
Look, I’m no expert, but the Dems are easy to figure out based on past actions. The best way to make Kamala president is to remove Ol’ Joe before the end of his term.
I personally don’t believe Biden will finish out his term. His party will use either the 25th Amendment, or force him to resign through the threat of impeachment or some other illegality that will likely surface at the right time.
Most American believe Biden is senile to a certain degree and that his administration and the media tried to hide his condition from the public. They’ve dropped the pretense for a reason: so the people can see for themselves his cognitive infirmities.
Recently, the House of Representatives released a nearly 300 page report, documenting Biden’s impeachable offenses, which some critics mocked for its timing. I believe the timing was to get further legal evidence of Biden’s abuse of power in the public eye, and to justify his removal.
If Biden doesn’t finish his term then what have we got? That’s right President Kamala Harris . She would lead the country until January 20, 2025 , when the new president is sworn in.
If my prediction pans out, just think of the press coverage of having the first woman of East Indian and Jamaican decent becoming president; even if it’s for a few months. You think the propaganda media’s fawning coverage of Kamala is bad now? It will be downright sickening , especially leading to election day.
That is the only way Kamala will be president. I could be wrong, but that’s my prediction.
Oh, and one more thing…
I believe Trump will be the President sworn in on January 20, 2o25.
Tucker Carlson interviews Big Pharma whistleblowers in this recent and stunning entry. This is one of the most important interviews you will ever watch.
Buckle yourself in for an engrossing two hours from two passionate American siblings exposing the business model of the pharmaceutical industry. What is that business model? Believe it or not, it’s keeping its consumers sick and drugged for life.
Casey Means and Calley Means
The interview reveals this process begins from the moment babies are born. No surprise, since pharmaceutical companies are the largest contributors to the American Academy of Pediatrics , the American Medical Association and the major medical schools.
And get this, did you know the processed food industry is operated mostly by cigarette companies? I didn’t, and that is just one of the incredible revelations of this interview with Calley and Casey Means.
Casey was a Stanford-educated surgeon and Calley, her brother , was a lobbyist for Big Pharma and the food industry. Both gave up prestigious careers to awaken Americans to the disturbing realities of the drugs they take and the food they eat . Watch:
This interview is illustrative of a gradual spiritual change, I believe, happening in America. Old paradigms are collapsing .
Information is trickling out that is gobsmacking people out of their fog of entrusting their lives and well-being to formerly esteemed institutions.We still have a long way to go, but a shift is occurring.
There is the only one pill Big Pharma wants you to refuse: the red pill.
All who fear the Lord will hate evil. Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance, corruption and perverse speech.–Proverbs 8:13 (New Living Translation)
Fear God… hate evil. Recently, I wrote about praying for our enemies because God commands us to love them. Yet, please understand, these prayers do not mean condoning wickedness.
Because we love God and He hates evil, therefore we are to hate evil. We are not to rationalize evil, nor compromise with it.
O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness; you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked. Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence, for you hate all who do evil. You will destroy those who tell lies. The Lord detests murderers and deceivers.–Psalm 5:4-6 (NLT)
God wants us to hate evil because nothing beneficial comes from it, only harm. There is no beauty to evil, only ugliness , destruction and death. Here’s a spiritual truth: A mind seared with evil despises the good.
God is good and everything He created is good. Unbelievers hate goodness, therefore they hate the creation. Have you ever considered that?
Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!
And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day.–Genesis 1:31
Everything in God’s creation is good, from the sun, to the weather, to the oil in the ground, to the miracle of life. Yet certain people want you to fear and loathe these things.
For instance, we’re told the sun is dangerous, so we should cover ourselves in sunblock out of fear of skin cancer. Yet the sun is the best source of Vitamin D which strengthens immunity.
Unbelievers stoke fears of climate change and offer solutions to “fight” it with the removal of petroleum . Petroleum, which played a huge role in bettering the lives of millions of people all over the world, is now a primary source of global warming/climate change?
Why would God create something that would lead to our demise? God lovingly created the heavens ,the earth and provides all we need for nourishment, shelter and indescribable beauty, also meant it for our demise? If you think about this, according to God’s majesty, mercy and grace, then everything godless experts have told us as beneficial for our safety should be highly scrutinized through the filter of His wisdom and discernment.
When you think about it, isn’t this a blasphemy of God, who created everything good? Is He not also our loving Heavenly Father who sent His only begotten Son as the final sacrifice for our sins: past , present and future?
Jesus willingly went to the cross, died and was resurrected so that we would have the choice not to die before repenting of our sins? This is the loving, Holy God who, for now, is providing every opportunity so no one would spend eternity in hell.
When you consider what a good, merciful and loving God we have, isn’t it evil to slander His creation as an existential threat? It’s not the creation that poses a temporal and eternal danger, only unrepentant sin .
Lies are all we get from certain political factions, rogue bureaucratic elements of government, and a press derelict in its First Amendment duty. God hates lies and so must Christians.
There are six things the Lord hates— no, seven things he detests: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family.–Proverbs 6:16-19 (NLT)
As the Presidential election approaches, I encourage all Bible -believing Christians to look at the issues facing us from the prism of good and evil, rather than partisan spin. God fearing Christians must reject any party or candidate speaking lies as truth, sowing discord (i.e. division), encouraging lawlessness, fanning the flames of hatred and blaspheming God’s creation.
We should only fear the Lord. Not climate change, nor any so-called threat to democracy. Remember this as we near November with all the chaos that will be coming. Yes, we are to pray for our enemies out of love, however because of our fear of God, we are to hate their evil actions.
The God-fearing Christian must always walk a fine line with politics. When pointing out the dangers or consequences of partisan policies, Christians must be careful not to return hate for hate. Jesus, instead calls us to love and pray for our enemies…regardless of party affiliation.
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.—Matthew 5:44-45(New King James Version)
While some Democrats identify as Christians, the party as a whole hates, Bible-believing, God-fearing Christianity. They hate it because we reflect Jesus , rather than world, and therefore, stand against their signature anti-life, anti-creation and anti-family policies.
However, they mostly hate us because we test everything against the Word of God. That really drives the pagans crazy.
They call us vile names and accuse us of narrow-mindedness, when the reality is we are the independent thinkers who question their virtue and their version of truth . Their hive mentality forces them to stay in lockstep with the daily narrative.
Don’t believe me? Just listen to the verbatim slogans the propaganda media repeat, ad-nauseam, that their viewers then parrot.
Basically, this tells people how and what to think. The implication is since every talking head and print reporter is repeating the same message, then it must be what the majority believes and therefore, must be truth.
This works because, without discernment, people have a natural deference to what the experts (i.e government, academia and journalists) say because of an inherent trust they have the country’s best interests at heart. That may have been true 40-50 years ago when there was more of a deference to God in America, but certainly not now as Christianity’s influence on the USA has waned.
A spirit of the anti-Christ (secularism, paganism and atheism) dominates in America. This has resulted in destructive policies based on lies, fear and narcissism.
Secular Democrats and Republicans have done these things because of carnal minds . Having a carnal-mind means a focus purely on the desires of the flesh.
For to be [a]carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the [b]carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.–Romans 8:6-8 (NKJV)
These are people who might pay occasional lip-service to God , but place their own desires above God’s precepts.. Their motivations have nothing to do with the greater good, but only lust, greed or power. They have nothing to do with the Holy Spirit which is foolishness to them.
But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.–1 Corinthians 2:14-16 (NKJV)
As Christians we must keep this in mind when we engage such people. How many times have you had a discussion about culture or politics with a devout Democrat only to walk away exasperated and asking yourself, “What the heck is wrong with these people that makes them ignore facts?”
As Christians , we must remember that only by the grace of God we have open eyes and a discerning heart. Only God’s grace and faith in Jesus Christ ,as Lord and Savior, blesses us with truth and sets us free.
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” They answered Him(Jesus), “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?” Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.—John 8:31-36(NKJV)
This does not mean we no longer sin, however we are no longer in bondage to it. Slaves have no will of their own. A slave obeys their master because he is the master’s property. In the case of sin, it is the master of the enslaved person.
To tell the truth, we are either slaves to the world, the flesh and the devil or to Christ. Jesus ransomed (1 Timothy 2:5-6) His flock from the devil with His death on the cross and resurrection. Therefore, Jesus sets believers free from sin: the world’s beliefs, thoughts and perspectives which only lead to death.
There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.– Proverbs 14:12 (NKJV)
Therefore, may we go beyond mere political differences when dealing with individuals with whom we profoundly disagree with. May we understand a person’s political ideology may reflect their love of, and bondage to, sin.
Of course we must vote our consciences as submitted to God, but let us not idolize a political party or political figure. In the same way , we should not automatically demonize a political figure or party as unworthy of prayer and God’s redemption.
Believe it or not, there was once upon a time where political differences stopped at the water’s edge. People united as Americans, despite any party disagreements.
That changed when Marxists and socialists took over the Democrat Party, journalism, the universities and Hollywood. That began a gradual march to criminalize their political opposition.
From this, came cancel culture, censorship and lawfare (using the legal system to crush their enemies). This has gone beyond politics and into the spiritual: what truly lies in their hearts.
Only people with ungodly hearts steeped in lies , hatred and fear embrace such strategies. Therefore, logic , reason and even facts will have little to no effect to changing the minds of idealogues presently blinded to God’s truth. Only God can change the hearts of lost people.
We must boldly stand in God’s truth when confronting these individuals and when I say boldly, I do not mean condemnation. For if you condemn them aren’t you merely returning evil for evil?
Repay no one evil for evil. Have[a] regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. Therefore
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.— Romans 12:17-21(NKJV)
May our adversaries define us based on who we are in Jesus Christ and not solely by our political affiliation. Yes, we vote for the party that bests protects our faith and represents our Christian beliefs, but that does not restrict us from showing love f0r our enemies by not compromising God’s Word and our prayers for them.
Democracy is one of those words you hear and think, freedom. The reality of present day context is anything but. This is a great compilation of what lies behind the sky-is-falling rhetoric of what democracy really means to Democrats .
I highly recommend saving this and sharing it widely.
Keep in mind the United States of America was founded as a Constitutional Republic. Some have even called our form of government a representative republic. The point is, the Founders hated democracy because of its propensity for tyranny.
Founding Father and President,James Madison
James Madison discussed the dangers of democracy in the Federalist Papers #10 . Here is an excerpt.
Hence it is, that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives, as they have been violent in their deaths. Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of government, have erroneously supposed, that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same time, be perfectly equalized, and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions.
Read the first part again, “(Democracies) have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property.” Aren’t we living this today? I encourage you to read Federalist #10 in its entirety because Madison, under the pseudonym Publius, not only explains the snares of democracy but brilliantly illustrates the benefits and stability of a republic.
On a closing note, it galls me when I hear prominent conservatives saying America needs to protect or safeguard democracy. We, the people, need to correct these pundits and politicians, whenever possible, that the USA was and is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy.
Just how democratic is the Democrat Party? A majority of voters select Joe Biden for President and now Kamala Harris is the candidate without their say. If I were a Democrat, p….d-off would be the nicest description of my reaction.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris
Amazing. Kamala’s the Dem candidate without receiving a single vote in the primaries. Many are saying the Dems staged a coup to remove the voters’ choice, Biden.
Does that sound democratic, ignoring the majority vote of the people? After all that isn’t that the basic definition of democratic, majority rule?
And if these machinations aren’t Machiavellian enough, there comes the question: Will Kamala even remain the candidate after the convention?
What’s the message of this image of Kamala surrounded by signs of Michelle Obama ? I’ll let you decide. However, its release was certainly no accident.
There are only 15 days until the Democratic National Convention.
In addition to the donkey party, the Dems have become the gaslight party. It seems that every policy or result comes down to the question of: Are you going to believe us, or your lying eyes?
Take the Dems effort to remake Kamala in the public eye as a prime example. She’s half East Indian and Jamaican , but we’re told she’s black and down with the struggle. They also want to memory hole she was the border czar, so the Democrat media establishment now tell us she wasn’t the border czar.
President Trump called her out for supporting defunding police departments. So-called fact-checkerssay she never called for defunding but “reimagining” public safety during a radio show interview in 2020. Watch to 25:20:
Sure, Harris didn’t outright say, defund the police, but c’mon, she implied agreement with the concept in her political-speak. Here’s a discernment newsflash: To defund something doesn’t always mean outright withdrawal of money, it can also entail reducing financial support.
Now , let us continue with more examples of blatant gaslighting…
A month ago, Harris was considered an intellectual lightweight , but now she’s smart and measured. In 2023, an NBC News poll showed Harris had the lowest approval rating ever for a vice president, but now the media gushes she may actually be the female Barack Obama they first called during her run for California Attorney General in 2009.
Speaking of Kamala’s tenure as Ca. Attorney General, crime exploded because of her policies; especially due to her support for Proposition 47 which reclassified former felonies, such as retail and property theft, misdemeanors. That’s why theft of goods under $950 prevents criminals from going to jail.
Will be interesting to see how the legacy media spins Kamala’s support for this devastating law heading into the Democrat Convention on Aug 19. Maybe they won’t spin it all, since Kamala’s VP pick will be the next shiny object to distract with.
So let’s recap: an alleged inter-party coup, a candidate who garnered not a single vote in the primaries, and a Democrat establishment gaslighting 24-7. Maybe we need to ask our liberal friends and family , just how democratic is your Democrat Party?
Memory hole, comes from none other than George Orwell’s 1948 dystopian novel ,Nineteen Eighty-Four . In the book, the memory hole is a small chute leading to a large incinerator used for censorship of any information deemed threatening to the ruling government of Big Brother.
It’s basically any mechanism for the deliberate altering of embarrassing or inconvenient photographs, transcripts, archives or other records to create the impression that something never happened. Sounding familiar?
Google may have reinstated search results for the failed Trump assassination. However , this was, after news reports led to a Google backlash for trying to place it down the memory hole.
I took this screen shot from Monday, July 29. My search term, “Trump assassination attempt July 13” shows lots of web entries.
Over the weekend, however, it was a different story. Google’s Autocomplete failed to provide search suggestions even when inputting “Trump assassination attempt” . Don Jr called Google out for “intentional election interference”, after posting a screenshot from X showing an Autocomplete search result .
After entering the term, “assassination attempt on…” , you would think Trump’s miraculous brush with death would top the list of search suggestions. Google’s going to have a hard time convincing the Trump supporters this wasn’t blatantly intentional.
The same goes for Facebook. After censoring the iconic photo of Trump, with his fist in the air, under an American Flag. Facebook says it wrongly labeled the photo as altered.
This was an error. This fact check was initially applied to a doctored photo showing the secret service agents smiling, and in some cases our systems incorrectly applied that fact check to the real photo. This has been fixed and we apologize for the mistake. https://t.co/y613GuuJpV
Meta Spokesperson Dani Lever said on an X post, “This was an error. This fact check was initially applied to a doctored photo showing the secret service agents smiling, and in some cases our systems incorrectly applied that fact check to the real photo. This has been fixed and we apologize for the mistake.”
Funny how such mistakes affect seem only those on the right side of the political spectrum? Always remember, the left needs to diminish, limit, and undermine the Trump assassination attempt to place it down the memory hole in people’s minds asap.
Also memory holed? The official video of the Paris Olympics 2024 opening ceremonies , ironically , by the Olympic You Tube channel.
Worldwide outrage continues, after Olympic organizers’ attempts to illustrate inclusivity via blasphemous interpretation of Leonardo Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” by drag queens.
Again, this involves the full opening ceremony. Clips from the opening ceremonies are still on YouTube but these are mostly presented with commentary or as part of news reports.
A final example of memory holing? The effort to convince Americans Kamala Harris was never the Border Czar for the Biden Administration.
Problem is , she clearly was. Watch this brilliant compilation by the Media Research Center Harris’ position before and after Biden dropped out.
— Citizen Free Press (@CitizenFreePres) July 30, 2024
You wouldn’t be wrong by also calling this memory hole effort of Harris, gaslighting. Weaponized by left, gaslighting is a form of mental manipulation designed to have you questioning your own sanity . These two sinister tactics go hand in hand.
Keep this concept of memory hole and gaslighting in mind as you are inundated with biased news reports and commentary heading into the Presidential Election in November.
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.—Galatians 6:7
Question: Why would Paris Olympics organizers decide to mock Jesus during the Last Supper to kick off the 2024 summer games? Answer: They are pagans and gleefully crafted an opening fit for the demonic.
Make no mistake , the purpose of blaspheming Jesus and the Last supper was for one reason alone: offending Christians. What better way to please Satan, their god of worship than to do so on a worldwide stage?
Can we stop with the narrative that drag queens are this symbol of inclusivity, worthy of exaltation? Let’s look at them as tools used by degenerate architects of pop culture to insult, taunt and deride anything sublime, or traditional.
Oh, but don’t worry. You, as a Christian, are to blame for taking offense because you are a narrow-minded bigot, racist , homophobe.
These Olympics will go down as one of the most infamous in history and, I’m betting, the lowest rated. Count me as officially checked out of games as I’m sure millions of other Christians are, worldwide.
Joe Biden makes it official, his dropping out of the 2024 Presidential Race, with his address to the nation, Wednesday. He endorsed Kamala Harris as the Democrat nominee during a bizarre speech that only raises more questions.
All I can say is God help this country, because everything about this man and his party raise spiritual red flags . The most glaring question is who is running America right now from the Executive Branch?
If Biden isn’t healthy enough to run for re-election, how can he be healthy enough to run this country? More on that in a moment.
As you watch the speech, take note of Biden’s delivery. Biden seemed more “on”. It was certainly more forceful and less halting than the doddering cadence present during his disastrous debate performance.
Note also Biden’s slurring at the beginning of the speech. It’s that difficulty you may have had yourself after a dental procedure . Something is always off about this man. Watch:
Hard to believe the Democrats are dumping the most “popular” president in history– after all , he got 81 million votes– with all of the “successes” touted by Biden.
Sarcasm aside, I would be surprised if Biden finishes out his term. The 25th Amendment continues to loom and what better way to elevate an intellectual and political lightweight like Harris than to have her assume the office of the President going into the convention. Perhaps I am wrong, but we’ll see.
Meanwhile, pray for this nation and its leaders. It’s going to be a very bumpy and scary ride as we head into November.
America literally dodged a bullet Saturday when , what many (including myself) describe as Divine intervention turned President Donald Trump’s head, allowing a bullet to whiz by and graze his ear. Now, there are lots of sketchy details in the aftermath of the Trump assassination attempt.
In the first piece not fitting the puzzle, is the identified shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks. The media is reporting this 20 year old has no social media presence. A 20 year-old with no social media presence? Hard to believe. It’s actually easier to believe some entity scrubbed any media presence to remove any clue of motive or background.
Thomas Matthew Crooks
Not much seems known about Crooks other than his appearance in a Blackrock commercial. His only pictures are from high school. He apparently has no military background .
Thomas Crooks in Blackrock commercial
Yet, its come out that on day of the rally, Crooks was acting strangely before Trump even took the stage. Law enforcement even spotted Crooks scoping the podium with a range finder.
Why didn’t law enforcement or SS question or detain him?
Americans are also asking why the roof Crooks apparently fired from was not secure? A local law enforcement officer with direct knowledge of the incident told CBS News snipers were stationed inside the building . Why inside the building and not on the roof?
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle told ABC News snipers were not stationed on the roof , directly in line of sight to the President’s podium, out of safety concerns the roof was too sloped . Yes, you read that right.
Yet the roof directly beside Trump was not to sloped to station a sniper and spotter. Safety concerns…really?
If this wasn’t bad enough, some sources are speculating SS resources were stretched too thin. Turns out First Lady Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris had events also in Pennsylvania scheduled right around the same time as the Trump Rally.
Fox Commentator Jesse Watters commented on all these factors. Watch:
The shooting took place at 6:11 Eastern Time. Interestingly in Ephesians 6:11, it is written:
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [a]wiles of the devil.
And did you happen to see this image of flag , twisted in the commotion , resembling an angel?
Thankfully God’s plans are above man’s. This is the only detail during the rally that is not sketchy.
God is glorified in many ways. Amid the miracle of President Trump surviving an assassination attempt, is the example of a valorous father sacrificing his life to protect his family.
Corey Comperatore pictured with daughter, Allison
Within seconds of the crack of gunfire at the Trump Rally in Butler County, Corey Comperatore’s only thoughts were protecting his family. He immediately threw his wife and two daughters to the ground, shielding them with his body from the danger. His last words to his family? “Get down!”
Corey Comperatore and wife, Helen
This, before a bullet struck his head, ending his life.
Comperatore , 50 , a God-fearing former volunteer fire department chief, did what God designed husbands and fathers to do: protect their families, no matter the cost.
The media is calling his death a tragedy, inferring it a matter of wrong place wrong time. I disagree. He was in the right place at the right time, to save the lives of his family ,and provide inspiration for other God-fearing men.
Yes ,God’s power was manifested by preventing the kill shot from taking Trump out. However , Comperatore also illustrated the love of Jesus Christ by putting his family’s well-being above his own. That’s what godly husbands and fathers do.
If you are not doing so , please pray for God’s strength and comfort over this family. You may want to ask for even a small amount of the selflessness exemplified by Corey Comperatore as well.
President Trump… defiant in the face of evil. A hail of bullets ; a failed assassination attempt after which Trump arises . Fist in the air , a flinted expression , he declares as he’s rushed off by Secret Service, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” assuring the Americans who support him that he is ok.
Whatever you think of Trump , leadership comes to mind. No one can question this man’s indomitable spirit, standing tall after an attempt on his life.
Why did Trump take the time to take such actions in a frightening situation? It was about us, his supporters. This man wanted to assure patriotic Americans, that despite the wound to his ear and blood streaked face, he was ok.
His triumphant courage, depicted for posterity under an American flag, has immediately achieved iconic status in the mode of the Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima and Washington crossing the Delaware. Hear that cracking sound? That’s his enemies gnashing their teeth.
You see, by trying to kill Trump, his enemies cancelled their wicked attempts to sully his character and image to the American people. Yes the Uniparty got their mugshot, but Americans will from this day forward will associate it with an ever-escalating campaign to stop this man from returning to the presidency.
Trump’s enemies raided his home and come up empty. They tried to primary him and failed.
The Uniparty then unleashed lawfare, replete with kangaroo courts and show trials. Partisan judges ensured his loss in lawsuits and criminal trials with multi-decade sentiences. They thought the mugshot and the ability to now call label him a convicted felon, would finish him and would cause embarrassed voters to divorce him.
Instead the opposite happened. The bond between Trump and his supporters strengthened to the point of unbreakability.
Imagine throwing everything you have at someone and they grow stronger. That’s the Uniparty versus Trump.
Something is protecting , promoting and strengthening Trump. He has withstood attacks from evildoers that would have destroyed lesser men.
What is that something? Is it luck? Perhaps it is just ineptitude? Or maybe, just maybe is it divine?
God answers prayer and America has a devout remnant of Bible-believing, God-fearing Christians who are pressing in for this man with various prayers including those involving spiritual warfare. Either God is covering this man or we are being played.
I’m inclined to believe the former and not the latter.
A turn of the head prevented a civil war. There’s no such thing as luck or coincidence. Trump had his head turned to the Jumbotron the exact moment a bullet sped toward his head. I believe God has plans for this man and for this country.
The bullet just before striking President Trump
A spirit of discernment has presided over the country as they question how this happened. God allowed for witnesses to see the shooter and to gauge the response of police and the Secret Service . God has placed questions in the minds of men such as how did the shooter know to come to this particular building and why was there no security presence ?
Why did a sniper and spotter apparently sight the shooter,but did not engage until shots were fired? Why weren’t the few buildings in the area tightly secured ? Was this ineptitude or planned?
Images of inept female Secret Service agents,looking not ready for primetime, are doing little to quell doubt about Trump’s protective detail . Since a picture is worth a thousands words, people are asking what the heck is going on here with this insane fidelity to DIE (Diversity Inclusion and Equity) ?
Absolute humiliation for this gaggle of female Secret Service Agents.
Look at the disorder:
– Can’t holster weapons – Gear falling to the ground – Erratic, fearful movements – No show of force, composure
Such questions inevitably cause people to conclude that a wickedness, excused by virtuous ineptitude, is dominating government policies. Common sense has been usurped by political expediency.
It’s not just conservatives seeing the light, even some liberal Democrats are realizing something is very wrong with our government and politics. The reason for this inter-party revelation? It’s been none other than the touchstone, President Donald Trump,
Another revelation in the aftermath of the assassination attempt? If the deep state tried to take out Trump , it means no faith in their ability to cheat.
Ponder that thought for a moment. It makes sense, doesn’t it? If they’ve tried everything and nothing has worked then eliminating their enemy is the next logical step.
Now the question is what’s next? The people are aware and alert and most importantly, so is Trump and his campaign staff. All we can do is continue to pray incessantly for God’s protection , according to His will .
May our prayers reflect God through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. And like Donald J. Trump, may we remain defiant in the face of evil.
Former First Lady Melania issues a powerful and heartfelt statement after the assassination attempt against her husband, President Donald Trump.
“When I watched that violent bullet strike my husband, Donald, I realized my life, and Barron’s life, were on the brink of devastating change. I am grateful to the brave secret service agents and law enforcement officials who risked their own lives to protect my husband,” the First Lady said.
She added,”A monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to ring out Donald’s passion – his laughter, ingenuity, love of music, and inspiration. The core facets of my husband’s life – his human side – were buried below the political machine. Donald, the generous and caring man who I have been with through the best of times and the worst of times.”
President Trump survives an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania Saturday. The apparent shooter is dead after firing several shots at the president, wounding him in the ear, before Secret Service swarmed.
Warning: Disturbing video:
President Trump, with blood on his ear and cheek , raised a defiant fist and shouted “Fight! Fight! Fight! as the protective detail rushed him out of the area as thousands of horrified attendees looked on. Media reports the shooter killed at least one rally attendee.

Trump’s campaign staff reports the President is ok , with no critical injuries. However an eyewitness reported to the BBC, he saw a man with a rifle crawling on a roof and getting into position just before shots were fired. The witness frantically pointed out the rooftop gunman to cops in the area, whom he said, did nothing.
BREAKING: Eyewitness tells BBC that he informed police, Secret Service about a suspicious man on a roof with a rifle.
The witness said he heard five shots fired before Secret Service killed the individual. But now questions arise. As the witness pointed out to the reporter ,why were there no Secret Service or police on the buildings surrounding the rally? And why did police and Secret Service ignore the witnesses’ attempts to alert them?
Meanwhile, media reports say a quote by President Biden on July 8 is coming back to bite him. The Gateway Pundit reports that during a video call with top donors Biden said “I have one job and that’s to beat Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that.”
Biden continued, “So, we’re done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump in a Bullseye.”
With the mockingbird media piling on Biden to step down, it will be interesting to see if they try to blame him for inciting the shooting. Remember how they blamed Sarah Palin for the Gabby Giffords shooting after Palin’s Political Action Committee released a map showing crosshairs on targeted Democrat districts back in 2011? .
A few weeks ago I would have predicted crickets with such a statement from Biden. But now, I’m not so sure.
In meantime, please thank God for his mighty hand of protection and the angels surrounding President Trump and his family. I am also praying that those behind this assassination attempt are exposed to everyone and punished. Finally, please also pray for the family of the innocent rally goer killed by shooter.
President Biden gave a very rare news conference Thursday, where he took “questions” from the Democrat stenographers. How did he do and did the “big boy” press conference save Ol Joe from those in his party calling for him to step down?
Well it didn’t help he called his VP ,”Vice President Trump” when addressing the opening question about Vice President Kamala Harris’ qualifications as president.
Biden replied , “I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump as vice president if I (didn’t think) she was not qualified to be president. “
And the look on the face of Biden’s team says it all. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s like “What did I just hear?” The look on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’ eyes say “Oh, not again!” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan places his hand over his mouth and chin and is like “Dude!”
The reaction from Biden's team when he called Kamala "Vice President Trump"
If that gaffe wasn’t the stuff of new memes, President Biden, a.k.a the Commander-in-Chief, then misspoke saying one point he’s “following the advice of his commander-in- chief.”
The “big boy ” press conference was the just the finale of a gaffe-filled day for the President who got 81 million votes in 2020. At the NATO meeting in Washington D.C. earlier in the day , Biden introduced Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky as President Putin before catching himself.
NOW – Biden: "And now I want to hand it over to the President of Ukraine… ladies and gentlemen, President Putin." pic.twitter.com/tELnNtTIcC
To be fair , Biden didn’t completely blow the press conference, after all the bar was set pretty low. All he needed to do was take questions, not wander off, or exhibit any bizarre behavior. Mission accomplished.
Biden will be the nominee leading up to the Democrat National Convention in August. It’s simply too problematic to change candidates due the election rules and deadlines of each different state.
If there is a change of candidate, it will probably happen during or after the convention. That could mean Biden stepping down voluntarily for the good of the country, his cabinet evoking the 25th Amendment or Biden and family leaving the scene with a lucrative deal. Or perhaps I am wrong and Biden will remain the candidate. We’ll see.
Either way, the question remains, did the big boy press conference save Ol Joe? Probably not , but his showing has, for now, bought him some time.
“Everything woke turns to s**t.,” in the profound words of President Donald Trump. However, my question about woke is, what’s the endgame?
When it comes to entertainment, everything about woke breeds failure. It’s only success , a near perfect track record of cringe when it comes to storylines in film and television. Nowhere has this been more true than Disney.
Once the pinnacle of family entertainment, the House of Mouse has become exhibit A of woke underachievement. The latest example of this ideological zeal , Star Wars: The Acolyte.
This show is a woke mess, featuring a coven of space witches without any males in the mix. Ala, the immaculate conception, two of the lesbian witches miraculously give birth to the twin protagonists of this story though the power of the Force, or rather the thread which , until this show, was never a part of Star Wars lore.
And what has happened to masculine heroes in the Star Wars universe? The weak beta males in this show serve only to elevate the girl bosses through their incompetence .
Don’t take my word about the stink factor of this latest Disney Plus (D+) outing . Just check its Rotten Tomatoes score.
Ignore the critics’s score because they’re a bunch of shills. Pay attention to the audience score of just 14 percent. That’s a fail, and in years past, a disaster.
But now? It’s the audience’s fault because they’re a bunch of racisssts , sexists and bigots for not understanding the show.
Disney is ruining once reliable intellectual properties (IPs) Marvel, Star Wars and Dr. Who by inserting woke tropes such as the all powerful female protagonist, race-swapping, white male villains and the LGBTQ-whatever agenda . This, of course, preceded by preemptive personal attacks on the core fan base to generate interest in the program and distract from the abysmal writing and character development in these shows.
The same goes for Amazon Prime’s The Boys, a tv show deconstructing superheroes. In its 4th season, the attacks on conservatives, Christian faith and President Donald Trump have lost any subtlety.
Homelander a metaphor for Trump?
Showrunner Eric Kripke makes no bones about equating Homelander, an evil Superman parody , to Trump.
“[Homelander has] always been a Trump analogue for me. I’ll admit to being a little more bald this season than I have in past seasons. But the world is getting more coarse and less elegant. The urgency of our team’s writing reflects that,” Kripke told Rolling Stone during a recent interview. “We’re angrier and more scared as the years go on, so that is just being reflected in our writing. But part of it is where Homelander’s story naturally goes. He has this really combustible mix of complete weakness and insecurity, and just horrible power and ambition, and it’s just such a deadly combo. Of course he would feel victimized that people are angry that he dated a Nazi. All he ever wants is to be the most powerful person he can be, even though he’s completely inadequate in his abilities to handle it.”
Kripke’s just freaked out because Trump is resonating with even more Americans than in his first term. If you’ve never watched this depraved and gory show, just about every supe is a degenerate. Homelander , the most powerful superhero in world of The Boys, is also the main villain.
A super-powered man-child, Homelander is the antithesis of Superman. He wears the American flag, but hates the country. He lies, schemes and kills without remorse. Although he views humans with the utmost contempt, the public believes him to be the protector of America and its values. Kripke , through the Homelander character ,is attempting to gaslight viewers of The Boys that Trump is a similar sociopath.
Conservatives, who watched the show from its inaugural season have picked up on Kripke’s blatant mission to demonize Trump and MAGA ( Make America Great Again) within the show and are turning away from the series in droves. Again check out the audience score on the right of this Rotten Tomatoes screenshot.
The Boys latest Rotten Tomatoes audience score down to nearly 50 percent
This woke tactic may have worked in 2020, but certainly not in 2024. Sure, some Americans bought into the anti-Trump rhetoric during his first term. However, they are living through the America -destroying Biden polices such as mass illegal immigration, massive inflation and the jailing of political enemies.
Americans know something is terribly wrong because they are able to compare/contrast with Trump’s first term where inflation was negligible, unemployment for minorities was at an all -time low, illegal border crossing were the lowest in decades and America was becoming energy independent and an energy exporter. Most notably, Trump did not criminalize his political enemies.
Wokeness has nothing to do with magnanimity, optimism or even building a great country. It has everything to do hatred, pessimism and division.
Hollywood used to produce heroic tales that inspired audiences. Heroic tales can never come from woke politics .
Whereas classic heroism involves a protagonist standing against evil or impossible odds, wokeness takes that concept and makes evil incarnate the white male patriarchy, Christianity, America, and of course, capitalism. Since this is the reality, what does this tell you about the writers, directors and showrunners producing this propaganda?
It tells you these are angry, bitter people who have an agenda to create division in the minds of their viewers while alienating the core fanbase of the IP’s they are destroying. It also appears the practitioners of this commie agenda are intent on destroying the inspiration of the heroic archetype.
Is this the woke endgame in entertainment: destroying the very idea of classic American heroism and therefore, eliminating any escapism for the viewer? It sure seems so. Woke certainly isn’t about turning a profit, for how can a company make money if its goal is alienating the majority fan base of a once treasured IP? What do you think?
I’ll leave you with Trump’s own words. Language warning! Cued to 1:25.

Fake news chick secretly records candid audio of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his wife, Martha-Ann, and one of the bombshells? Justice Alito speaks to the polarization of the country by saying either one side or the other is going to win.
Lauren Windsor, host of the Undercurrent
Lauren Windsor ( see bio), the left’s answer to James O’Keefe , conversed with the Alitos at the Supreme Court Historical Society’s annual dinner on June 3. Masquerading as a Catholic conservative, Windsor managed to secretly record some unguarded comments.
Listen to this excerpt in its entirety. Note the leading questions, asked to Justice Alito, all hitting the right conservative hot buttons. Language warning:
EXCLUSIVE UNDERCOVER AUDIO: Sam Alito x John Roberts x The Undercurrent 🧵
1/ Justice Alito admits lack of impartiality with the Left, says: “One side or the other is going to win.” pic.twitter.com/b5nmxToZ9z
The only offense committed by the Alitos was being too trusting, at least that’s my humble opinion. They actually both come off as down- to- earth, patriotic Americans troubled by the division in the country under Democrat rule.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and wife, Martha-Ann targeted by the left wing
Now, Rolling Stone is publishing these “bombshell” interviews of the Alitos in an effort to smear them. And in other news, water is wet and poop stinks.
Dems calling for Alito’s recusal
In case you haven’t noticed, the left is driving hard in its efforts to demonize Justice Alito to force his recusal from cases involving J 6 appeals, presidential immunity and any appeals from the Soviet-style show trials of President Donald Trump.
Alito is ignoring media calls to recuse himself. And Chief Justice John Roberts has also rejected Democrats’ call for recusal. So, now the goal seems to be stoking public outrage against Alito.
This Saul Alinsky tactic of freezing the target began in May when the New York Times reported Mrs. Alito flew an upside-down American flag at their Virginia home in back in 2020; just after the J6 protests . This happened after a heated argument with a liberal couple who had posted a vulgar anti-Trump sign in their yard.

The Times recently reported the Alito household flew the “An Appeal to Heaven” flag at their vacation home in 2023, and right on cue, the media got the vapors.
Where’s this level of self-righteous indignation by the mockingbird media when the American flag is burned or trampled upon by “peaceful” protestors? This current outrage appears purely political , and predictable.

Some individuals carried the inverted American flag and the Pine Tree flag during the January 6 protest, or insurrection, according to the Uniparty narrative. In lockstep, the alphabet media breathlessly reported the flags are symbols of the racisssst and eeevil far right.
As per its playbook, the sheer body of media stories creates the impression of Justice Alito as an embattled individual. The Dem political strategy? Convince the public that Alito cannot remain impartial with J6 cases because similar flags were flown at his residences.
“An Appeal to Heaven” flag flying during the J6 protest of the 2020 Presidential Election aftermath
A flag history lesson
Let’s do a quick history lesson regarding the origins of the flags. First, an upside down flag is not a desecration. An inverted flag says to the world, America is in distress. Check out this excerpt from The True Colors:
At first glance, an upside-down American flag may appear to be a sign of disrespect or disregard for the nation’s symbol. However, it is essential to understand that in many cases, this inversion is not an act of disrespect but rather a symbolic signal of distress. In times of extreme crisis, distress, or emergency, individuals and groups may choose to display the flag in this manner to draw attention to the urgent need for help, change, or intervention.
The idea of using flags as signals of distress has a long history. At sea, mariners have traditionally flown their flags upside down to signal that their vessel is in dire straits. Similarly, using the upside-down American flag as a symbol of distress conveys a message of urgency, a call for assistance or intervention, often in response to situations that threaten the nation’s very fabric. It is an act that says, “We need help; our nation is in crisis.”
A Google search of the historical uses of this symbol, reveals mostly the level of the media dogpile to damn Justice Alito and his wife. You would think they made history since nearly a dozen pages of web hits focused on the Alito flag controversy.
You can find some interesting historical facts regarding both of these flags, with a little diligence. Just a side note: whenever fake news is pushing a narrative , always do your own research.
Anyway, it turns out anti-Vietnam War protestors also waved the upside-down flag to symbolize resistance to the draft and the war; way before the so-called far right. Funny how the left conveniently ignores this.

The mockingbird press also fail to mention Black Lives Matter supporters flying or burning the inverted flag during their “mostly peaceful” protests . Anyone recall the media labeling those committing arson, looting and mayhem as far left?

As for the “An Appeal to Heaven” flag, that goes all the way back to the Revolutionary War. For the history challenged , that was the war that led to American independence from Great Britain.
The flag shows a lone pine tree against a white background. Above the image , are the words ,”An Appeal to Heaven”. The phrase is based on the writings of philosopher John Locke who wrote people must appeal to heaven when there is no proper rule of law.
The flag was designed by Colonel Joseph Reed, who served as personal secretary to (General) George Washington. Originally commissioned for use on six military cruiser ships, the flag was adopted on October 21, 1775. It became the official Massachusetts navy flag in 1776.
The colonists appealed to heaven because the British turned the rule of law against their former subjects. Washington and the colonists believed only God could help them prevail against the world’s most formidable military.
America is in distress now and we have a two-tiered justice system. Our only appeal is God to remove the evil and the corruption rampant in our government, law and culture.
Democrat activist chick records Justice Alito and of course the media is trying to spin the narrative he and his wife are right-wing extremists. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
What’s revealed is a couple who love America and have opinions shared by a majority of the country. I’m not sure this is going to have the desired effect the Democrats are hoping for.

Intellectual Froglegs: “War”, Joe Dan Gorman’s latest transmission. Mr. Gorman comments on the Soviet style show trial of President Donald Trump in New York, spiritual warfare and features an interview with scientist, Dr James Tour.
While, Mr Gorman’s humor is still present, this is a serious and weighty episode. He addresses the full-scale attack on President Trump and concludes God is protecting him with Divine Providence.
I believe the evidence strongly supports Mr Gorman’s conclusion. You have to ask, why with all these attacks on President Trump, is he getting stronger?
I’ve written about spiritual warfare in different posts which means our weapons are not of this world. To fight this war, all we can do is stand, pray, study Scripture, and worship and praise God. As Mr Gorman eloquently points out, “the ammo is free.”
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.– Ephesians 6:11-12 (ESV)
This is not just another election about policy. What God has presented to the American people, out of the darkness, and plain to see, is evil. You can see evil in our enemies eyes, their speech, their actions and policies. This, because indwelling in their hearts is not the Spirit of the LORD, but demons.
Of course we vote and speak the truth, but only God and His heavenly forces can fight demons. All we can do is stand, armored in God, through, the transformative power of Jesus, and guided by the Holy Spirit.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. –Ephesians 6:13-18
Maybe this is God’s timing for the fall of America, or God’s plan for America’s revival. His will be done. Practice obedience to God, have faith in Jesus, and pray always.
Covid-19 mRNA shots are not vaccines? A ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals answers that question with a hard yes.
Yes, thatNinth Circuit Court of Appeals. I will explain what I mean about that observation in a bit.
For now, this ruling is huge. Why? This could strip pharmaceutical companies of legal liability protection. Put simply, the ruling could set the stage for lawsuits against the mRNA shot manufacturers.
The Health Freedom Defense Fund (HFDF) triggered this ruling with its lawsuit against the Los Angeles Unified School District . What was the nature of the lawsuit? No , it could’t be the mandates. Oh wait, that was the reason!
You know the schtick:” Nice job you have here. Would be a shame if something happened to it because you didn’t get vaccinated.”
Turns out “vaccine” is the wrong terminology for the shots, according to the court. While marketed to the public as vaccines, the court ruled the shots do not effectively stop the transmission of Covid-19. While they may reduce symptoms in the affected, that’s not enough to make the shots, traditional vaccines.
What is a vaccine? The Supreme Court of the United States ruled in Jacobson v. Massachusetts (1905) that vaccinations prevent the spread of diseases like smallpox, not reduce the symptoms in the infected.
The ruling reverses a lower court’s dismissal of the case against LAUSD’s vaccine mandate. LAUSD’S policy was , of course, buoyed by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) changing the definition of a vaccine in 2021, from “a product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to specific disease,” to ” a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.”
The press may have never questioned the semantics games of the CDC with any intensity , but the Ninth Circuit certainly did. Amazing, when you consider conservative critics used to label this appellate jurisdiction the “Ninth Circus Court of Appeals “due to the volume of overturned rulings . Some legal experts are confident this ruling will stand.
For deeper dives into the ruling check those out here and here.You can read the ruling in its entirety, at this link .
Recently sworn in for his second five-year term, President Nayib Bukele has smashed MS-13 as a menace in El Salvador, and is bringing peace and prosperity to a country once known as the murder capital of the world. Tucker Carlson interviews El Salvador President Bukele to find out what makes this man, the “World’s Most Effective Leader.”
Bukele reveals in the one on one , a trait missing in many world leaders: seeking God’s wisdom first in everything. Also discussed, the state of Western Civilization and Bukele’s advice to President Trump. The interview is well-worth your time. Watch:
Perhaps God is placing the seeds of change for Western Civilization in leaders like President Nayib Bukele , Argentinian President Javier Milei and President Trump? All we can do is seek God’s wisdom and His will in prayer.
I was a once a liberal Democrat, who even voted for Bill Clinton in 1992. So, I thought it would be interesting to illustrate a dialogue between my conservative self and my former liberal self. I call it, “An interview with Democrat me. “
Just so you’re able to follow, my Democrat dialogue is in bold italics. I wrote this in an interview format. With that said, here we go:
“Historic! That racist Trump is finally getting what he deserves. This should weaken this threat to America and our democracy, MAGA.”
“Yes! It’s dim-witted idiots following a leader in the mold of Hitler. MAGA is code for taking us back to the days of McCarthyism and Jim Crow. “
But aren’t Democrats practicing those historical black- eyes, with demonizing white males and the blacklisting of conservatives in Hollywood and education ?
“No. What we’re practicing is Diversity Equity and Inclusion.We’re stopping evil!”
“Ok. You questioned the results of the 2020 election. You say the 2020 election was stolen by cheating. This is dangerous for democracy!”
Why is it dangerous?
“You racist Republicans are undermining the integrity of elections which divides the country.”
Didn’t the Democrats do that when Americans elected Donald Trump as President in 2016?
“No, we said Trump was illegitimate. That’s different. Hillary won the popular vote.”
Trump won the electoral college which is what counts. The Constitution details the President is elected via the electoral college, so populous states are stopped from having undue influence.
“Russian interference helped steal the election from Hillary Clinton. Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin.”
You do understand the whole Russia Collusion story was revealed as a hoax after Hillary’s campaign paid for the Steele Dossier?
“No it wasn’t . That’s lies and disinformation from the evil Trump side.”
Disinformation? You guys use that word a lot. What’s the difference between disinformation and misinformation?
“Don’t try your rhetorical games with me. The words speak for themselves.”
Those words speak of censorship. You Dems seem to throw out those words to shut down free speech.
“Freedom of speech doesn’t give conservatives license to spout lies or spread hate speech.”
Hate speech? Conservatives don’t go around using racial or misogynistic slurs like the N-word or the b-word in our speech or everyday parlance.
“You may not say those words, but you imply them when you talk about patriotism or a merit-based culture. “
So, that’s racist and sexist, talking about love of country or of rewarding people based on merit, rather than skin color?
“Patriotism is code for white supremacy, and merit is another way of promoting institutionalized discrimination.”
I see. You guys are always warning against white supremacy. How can you say that when America voted for Barack Obama for president . Lots of Republicans cast their vote to elect the first black president.
“Yes, but racism got worse after Obama was elected.”
It only got worse because Obama and his administration made it worse. In fact , Obama set back race relations 50 years.
” More disinformation! Whites in this country, especially conservative Republicans, wanted Obama to fail. Trump was complicit in this by calling Obama’s birth certificate fake.”
Is that one of the reasons you hate Trump?
“Yes, Trump is a racist. He and MAGA are the greatest danger to democracy.”
Interesting. Under Trump ,America had no wars, had the strongest economy in decades, and the lowest minority unemployment ever. If he’s such a a racist, why did so many people benefit from his polices?
“Did you ever read his tweets? He’s a narcissist and only cares about himself. It’s all about Trump. His cult is blind to his evil and his danger to democracy.”
So again MAGA is a cult?
“Of course! MAGA ignores climate change, despises science , rejected the mask mandates, and demonstrates hatred toward drag queens and transgenders. These are dumb people who blindly follow Trump.”
But how can Trump be this existential threat when Biden got 81 million votes in 2020?
“His lies cast doubt on the integrity of the election process.”
Hmm… maybe Trump’s accusations were a threat to your narrative that Joe Biden got more votes than Barack Obama and every other president in history.
“President Biden got more votes because Americans were tired of Trump’s failures and lies. They wanted proven and mature leadership. What kind of a president constantly attacks the press and calls it fake news? The press is vital to our democracy.”
Trump must have struck a chord because public trust in media is at an all time low. Anyway so what’s your take on Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts by a Manhattan jury?
Courtesy: Slate.com
“Justice finally prevailed. The legal process worked and no one is above the law.”
Does it bother you that no one, not even legal experts can articulate exactly what Trump is guilty of? The proceeding was called a hush-money trial and such a violation is a basically a misdemeanor, a non-disclosure agreement.
“Trump was convicted by a jury of his peers, a jury his lawyers agreed to.”
Trump’s lawyers agreed to the best of what was a hostile jury pool. And what about Judge Juan Merchan’s donations to the Biden campaign and his daughter’s ties to a group promoting Democrat candidates?
“Judge Merchan gave a small campaign contribution and let’s not bring his daughter into this. Trump, the convicted felon, tried to make the judge’s child a distraction.
You guys love saying convicted felon, don’t you?
“Yes, because it’s true.”
Looks like Trump supporters are embracing it also. He raised over 50 million dollars within a day of his conviction.
“That shows what a danger the MAGA cult is.”
Uh-huh. Looks like more blacks and hispanics are buying into MAGA over Biden as well.
“Those aren’t real blacks and hispanics if they vote for Trump.”

How are you doing one day after a New York jury, a partisan judge and DA convicted a former president? I don’t know about you , but I am optimistic.
On its face, it looked as if President Donald Trump and Make America Great Again suffered a major defeat. But was it a defeat or a self-inflicted wound by the left?
A New York jury , enabled by a partisan liberal judge became the first in history to convict a former President . Let’s not even focus on the sham charges or the leftist judge for a moment.
What happened yesterday was the setting of precedent. It is no longer outside the realm of reality to convict a former president.
Think about that seriously. What the legal system of this country used to consider out of the question, is now reality.
This means any state attorney general or local district attorney can prosecute any former president suspected of committing real crimes. No longer does a judge or prosecutor have to worry about the media blowback of being the first one to try a former president. Judge Juan Merchan and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg have become trailblazers. Perhaps, not in the way they think?
I believe Trump knows this and was counting on a conviction verdict. I reached this conclusion after a comment made by CNN Legal Analyst Professor Jonathan Turley in the aftermath of the Thursday’s verdict (cued to 8:08. play to 8:43).
“The atmosphere in the room at the end, I must say, was solemn and it was riveting: no one moved. ” Turley said. “Now it was funny cause they really ramped up security right before the verdict came in and they , the security said nobody move, nobody stand. And there was a bit of chuckle cause no one was moving, everyone was frozen…The person that seemed the calmest was Trump. He continued to talk with his counsel. This did not seem to surprise him in the least.”
Remember also to 2022, when the Supreme Court allowed Congress access to Trump tax returns? Again, a precedent was set , allowing access to every presidents’ tax information. If Trump is re-elected these are substantial means of access for any Congressional inquiry or Trump Department of Justice investigation.
Consider also the Supreme Court is set to decide the issue of presidential immunity as early as next week. A ruling against Trump means past presidents can no long claim immunity from criminal charges based on official acts as president.
It will be interesting to see how this looming SCOTUS decision plays out. Before you accuse me of hopium, all I’m doing is recounting what has occurred thus far. Maybe Trump is playing 4D chess, or maybe he isn’t?

“President Donald Trump is a convicted felon!” Get used to that term or some variation of it from the mockingbird media from now until November 5, 2024. In fact , embrace it.
When any Dem or other know-nothing tries to troll you about Trump’s conviction , don’t even give them the satisfaction of explaining the injustice of the whole affair. Simply agree with them to the effect of, “Yes he is, and…?
Part of the purpose of these George Soros backed show trials is shaming people over their support of President Trump. I truly believe this time they have miscalculated. Sure, some will fall away, but not as much as the Dems hope. In fact, I predict some Dems peeling away to Trump’s side due to outrage over the communist tactics of the Biden administration.
When the Dems try to shame you, accept the facts as they are. A New York jury convicted Trump on 34 counts that even legal experts failed to grasp until the judge read the verdict. On paper, and in the media, Trump is a convicted felon.
Take away their schadenfreude , by agreeing , “You call Trump a convicted felon, but this is election interference. Trump has my vote. ” When they ask how can you vote for someone like that? Respond simply, “How can you not?” and leave it at that.
Don’t argue. Don’t try to persuade. Forget about showing them the truth. Shrug your shoulders and matter-of-factly state your peace , without emotion or anger.
Throughout history, men and women who changed the world were called criminals or insurrectionists by tyrants. What do you think the British did to the colonists during the Revolutionary War? Racist cops also arrested Martin Luther King in his non-violent campaign for civil rights.
William Wallace was an enemy of the British Crown, and ironically Joan of Arc was burned at the stake for heresy on the day of Trump’s conviction in 1431.
In my last column ,I wrote the Dem conviction of Trump is a Pyrrhic victory and the cost will be greater than the victory. Everything the Dems have thrown at Trump has only increased his poll numbers.
This conviction will cause those numbers to skyrocket, especially when you consider the number of donations to Trump after the show-trial conviction caused his website to crash. A harbinger of things to come? You better believe it.
Legal analysts like Jonathan Hurley believe appellate courts will overturn this sham conviction, but probably not before November. I say this will make Trump’s victory one for the history books.
For now, I am praying for God’s justice to prevail over our satanic enemies. Of course , I want them to repent and turn to Jesus. However, I want the law, the evildoers have weaponized against innocent citizens, to become a terror to the evildoers. I am asking, in God’s will , for His retribution against those who idolize the love of money and power .
And may we also pray for God to use us and our talents in His service and to bless us with the boldness and courage to go where He calls us. I hope you will join in with similar prayers to God
The left can call Trump a convicted felon all they want, but it won’t change the fact, they lied, schemed , and manipulated this outcome. The people see it, and also see the Dems, RINOs (Republicans in name only), the left, and the deep state as the true enemies of our Constitutional Republic.
Keep your faith in God and resist the propaganda. The real verdict comes November 5.

With Father’s Day coming up, these books are excellent gifts.
No matter the verdict in the Trump “Hush -Money” trial in New York, it will go down in history as a travesty of justice. Whatever the outcome, the Democrat Party loses.
Judge Juan Merchan’s jury instructions that a unanimous verdict is not needed for guilt, ensures a Trump conviction will not survive the appellate process. It’s obvious the only importance to the left is Trump, “guilty!” They want to have their mockingbird media headline and narrative of former President and “convicted felon,” Trump.
They want so bad to say those words, they can taste it. Who cares if Democrats destroy America’s judicial system and rule of law in the process?
They better care, because if Trump loses , the Democrats’ victory will be a pyrrhic one. The cost will nullify any the win due to the damage and losses sustained. The losses for the Democrats will be credibility, legitimacy and most importantly , power.
Americans are coming to a realization about the Democrats with the Trump show trials, the wide-open border, the party’s support of transgendered men in women’s sports, its demonization of local law enforcement, its promotion of a two-tiered justice system, and its lust for war, that this party is an enemy to America.
Americans will never unsee , for a least a generation, the spectacle of the Democrats weaponizing the legal system and the intelligence apparatus against a a former President, private citizen and presedential candidate. To use their self-righteous, description for any of their destructive policies, it’s historic.
If there’s a hung jury or , this is highly unlikely, the jury acquits , then the public sees the Democrat lawfare tactics of weaponizing the courts against an opponent, as another form of cheating. Secondarily , anyone , despite their political affiliation will now be able to recognize and label lawfare as political dirty tricks.
If Trump survives this, which I believe he will, the Democrats’ action will surpass Watergate as the benchmark of political illegality.
In the meantime, pray for God, according to His will, to revive this nation and restore a righteous hatred of evil. Pray also for the LORD’s hand of protection over President Trump as he weathers this travesty of justice.
Memorial Day may have become many things: backyard barbecues the unofficial start of summer. But with all the fun, let us not forget the solemn focus on this day of remembering those who gave all.
The flags that fly on this day are because of the sacrifices of fathers, grandfathers, great grandfathers , uncles and brothers who died on the battlefields, the oceans and in the air. Let us not forget the sacrifices of mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers , aunts and sisters who also paid the ultimate price in those theaters of battle.
We remember those who died in action and those who passed on after returning to civilian life. Their legacies are priceless.
We’re inspired not by the color of their skin or background, but by their selflessness and humility. They lived and died showing true heroism: putting others before themselves.
It doesn’t matter whether our heroes served in the Navy, Marines, Army, Air Force or Coast Guard, their love of country unites them all.
Let us give thanks for God’s creation of men: protectors of family, and country. In them, God imbued the traits of physical strength ,courage, loyalty, duty and honor.
Let’s just cut to the chase of the why the left is losing their minds over Harrison Butker’s recent commencement speech at Benedictine College. It’s because the Kansas City Chiefs kicker stood for God and spoke the truth.
I was going to use the old adage , “a fact to a liberal is like kryptonite to Superman”. But really, truth to the liberal hive mind is, literally, hate speech.
Hate speech to the left is printing , broadcasting or uttering any fact or idea that casts doubt on their narrative. The left’s ideas are at best, built on fantasy, and at worst, a foundation of lies. Therefore, when someone dares to share alternative viewpoints, leftist true- believers go into overdrive to slander the message.
When the left shouts hate speech, what its minions are calling for is censorship of the truth. And let me clarify that I am talking God’s truth. Funny , how that modern mantra of “your truth ” and ” my truth” goes out the window the moment someone steps up and proclaims scriptural truth.
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.– Hebrews 4:12
It’s not hyperbole that God’s word is like a sword cutting through soul and spirit and bone and marrow. Nothing can stop God’s truth from penetrating.
When we hear godly truths, it gets our attention. You know that moment when someone hits you with the truth, and your eyes instinctively look down or away in a split second. That’s when you react in one of two ways: with conviction and humility or denial with anger.
We’re seeing the latter from the left. Why?
Butker’s words were not couched in anger or fiery rhetoric. He did not come off like a hate-filled fanatic that the left could paint as exhibit A for right-wing nut.
Instead, Benedictine College graduates were treated to a commencement speech from a godly young man whose words were full of love , encouragement and truth from a biblical foundation.
In my humble opinion two sections of the speech triggered the left. First he made a distinction about God -centered pride vs the pride celebrated for a month. However, the second and most controversial (to the left) was Butker daring to say there is nothing wrong with women embracing the vocation of homemaker. He used the example of his wife who chose this over a career.
Not surprisingly, leftists smeared Butker as saying women should be barefoot and pregnant and accused him of attacking women who prioritize careers. Witness the outrage from these daily talk show hosts
Here’s how it works, or rather how it used to work. When leftist pundits register outrage, you’re supposed to automatically disregard the message of their target as bigoted or racist.
More people are waking up and no longer participating in this tried and true gaslighting tactic. Butker’s message not only resonated with the graduating class, but also with the public and that’s what scares the left.
If the ideas of the Marxist , liberal, progressives (or whatever else they choose to call themselves) were based in logic and truth, they would defend their ideas with spirited debate. Instead , their knee-jerk response is to slander, mislead, censor and cancel. This tells all you need to know about these people and the folly of their ideology.
NFL kickers are usually an afterthought to the average fan. These are skill players who have a singular job: target the ball precisely.
Their skills give opposition the worst field position and scores points for their team. As a Christian man, Butker’s love and obedience to God, through his faith in Jesus Christ, has done both.

And the polls always understate Trump’s support as Biden voters are not shy about their support for him whereas Trump voters are more cagey when talking to pollsters.
When CNN tells the truth about President Trump’s poll numbers, this is after trying to skewer it every which way to benefit Biden. You know things must be really bad right now. Zaharia even admitted in his take that polls usually underrepresent Trump support.
Here’s my take . When “news” outlets like CNN actually report facts, this is usually the sign something is about to drop. What that is, I’m not sure.
However, I don’t believe Biden will be the candidate in November. Watch the Dems bring in a change of batter at some point.
Robert Kennedy Jr.’s abortion stance may cost him conservative votes. The Independent candidate says he supports full-term legal abortion if it’s the choice of the woman.
Will this sink Kennedy’s appeal to Republicans and Independents who liked Ron DeSantis and want an alternative to President Donald Trump? You be the judge.
I’m providing you a couple clips of Kennedy’s comments. The first is the controversial statement. The second provides the context of his remark.
I wanted to present both clips because it is very easy to sensationalize a statement as damaging when it is taken out of context. With that said, I get Kennedy’s nuanced answer of keeping government out of a woman’s choice, abortion as a tragedy and his plan of fewer abortions.
However, the context does not soften the fact of Kennedy supporting full-term abortion. Sure, he adds the caveat of personal choice for the woman, but again, RFK Jr. supports full-term abortion.
Will this sink Kennedy’s campaign? What do you think?
Another comedy classic from the Babylon Bee. “Woke Jesus” is literally laugh-out-loud funny and biting satire. A piece of advice: don’t watch this while drinking your morning coffee, unless you like spit takes on your laptop or phone.
“Do not be afraid, for Lazarus will live again… through this mail -in ballot.” Hilarious!
America… under God’s judgement? What does that mean? The country is still standing and life goes on.
On the surface, yes, America is still the major world power, influencing politics and policy globally. Yet spiritually, this is not the same America where the Golden Rule once reigned , marriage was lauded and most families attended church .
I miss that America. God was revered and laws were enforced.
Now we live in a country where madness reigns, the arrogantly ignorant are their own god, and lawlessness prevails. Throughout Scripture are examples of what happens to a nation when it rejects God.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.–Romans 1:28-32
Keep in mind, the Apostle Paul wrote this assessment after writing earlier in the chapter of how God is plainly manifested to the world throughout the creation. Therefore, people have no excuse to deny His existence (Romans 1:19-20.). To deny God and to not fear Him is the sign of debased mind.
Another word for debased is reprobate. It means an unprincipled or depraved person. Basically, this person is morally corrupt.
With that definition in mind, is it off base to believe we live in a reprobate culture celebrating madness and codifying insanity? Pardon my rhetorical question, because the proof is clear as mud.
Everywhere, futile thinking reigns, such as the foolishness of allowing race to dictate what laws to enforce, what crime statistics to manipulate, what school discipline to carry out ,and what grades to give. Have you ever thought why in this period of history there are so many incompetent and immoral leaders in charge?
God gave America great thinkers at the founding of this country Now, the nation appears cursed with supreme dolts at our nadir. If the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,(Proverbs 9:10) then not fearing the Lord is the height of folly.
The debased person either ignores entirely, or picks and chooses portions of God’s Word to fit in to their version of reality: a reality where they dictate the terms of good and evil. This has been going on since sin entered the world.
In the ancient world , it was idol worship , carried out in ornate or makeshift tabernacles. In recent history, this distortion of reality took the form of political theory. You know it best as Marxism.
Marxism is the comprehensive theory of history, society and economics, created by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. You can read about it’s development and bloody history here and here.
Marxism is anti-God and therefore, anti-freedom. What makes it both seductive and insidious is its ability to morph into various forms of political theory. We’re seeing it playing out now as wokeness, Critical Race Theory and diversity, inclusion and equity (DIE).
Missing from the core of all these modern theories are the godly traits of love , humility and forgiveness. Instead, you have wrath, division, envy and hatred. These are sinful traits glorified as righteousness in the minds of the unregenerate.
Scripture plainly states the consequences of a nation turning from God. Galatians 6:7 warns nations and people of the danger of mocking God.
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that hewill also reap.
America and Western Civilization is sowing mockery of God’s law and blasphemy of God’s Word. In doing so, these nations are reaping God’s judgment. Is it any wonder America’s darkness is more than mere political machinations?
Legislatures, packed with worldly men and women, have passed doctrines of demons as law with no concern of societal impact, only political gain. Congress has neither the will nor moral foundation to stand for God’s righteousness.
Yes, there are godly men and women in the House of Representatives and the Senate, but for now they have little power to reverse the patronage and lobbying practices that have corrupted both branches. That of course presumes they are even trying to change the system. In most cases, so-called “Christian” politicians find it easier to compromise their souls for power, rather than standing for God.
What can you say when the Democrat Party is counting on the people’s anger to abortion laws to propel them back to power? What can you say when political realities means the Republicans must compromise with the issue? The very fact of millions of Americans demanding the right to terminate babies in the womb indicates a culture steeped in selfishness and hedonism.
What can you say when schools and libraries in blue states have no issues exposing children to sexualization in the form of Drag Queen Story Hour.
Years ago, teachers in public schools coming out as gay, lesbian, binary or whatever to young children would have been fired and hounded out of school for attempting to sexualize children, now they are celebrated. Meanwhile, the mainstream press and leftist politicians demonize parents ,who complain, as the bad guys.
America degeneracy is such , the left even calls certain biblical passages hate speech. And do many mainstream denominations continue to preach those uncomfortable verses of Scripture?
No, in most instances those churches stand down. Rare is the church where the pastor preaches from Genesis, Exodus, Joshua, Leviticus, 1 and 2 Kings, Chronicles, just to name a few?
And even those churches focusing on the New Testament skip over or rationalize Romans 1 , Corinthians 6:9-10 or the book of Revelation. Are these churches honoring God or reflecting the culture? Obviously, it is the latter and certainly not the former.
We are truly in the last days with such spiritual realities. Is America on its way to becoming another story of a once great nation brought to ruin? It’s whatever God wills.
However, God is still watching over those who truly love Him. So what can we as regenerate believers do?
First, we remember that no matter what happens in the world, God promises never to leave us or forsake His children. We can take this inspiration from Moses’s exhortation to the Israelites as they prepared to take the promised land under the leadership of Joshua
“It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”– Deuteronomy 31:8
We also place our faith that as sheep, Jesus is our Shepherd and that nothing can snatch us from His hand.
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.I and My Father are one.”— John 10:27-30
Finally, believers must stay on mission; no matter what.What is this task? It is the Great Commission.
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.– Matthew 28:18-20
America… under God’s judgement? You better believe it. When God judges a nation, it means He’s given it over to its inevitable path of destruction that comes choosing sin over Jesus. Now more than ever, we Christians must dedicate ourselves to spreading the gospel to a lost world.
Many strong Christians still inhabit this country and are praying for this nation and its leaders. If you are not already doing so, start. May we also pray according to God’s will and in the name of Jesus for a nationwide repentance and revival.
Remember: Nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37).
Don’t avert your eyes from the rampant government corruption and societal decay you are witnessing. God’s light is exposing the darkness for even the most obtuse to see.
Wednesday’s Senate dismissal of Articles of Impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkis, reveals a Democrat-led Senate spitting on the Constitution. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx) issued a blistering rebuke on the Senate floor.
While I have my problems with Sen. Cruz, this speech is on point:
The House impeached Mayorkas for lying to Congress that the U.S southern border is secure. It’s not. Thousands of criminal invaders crossing on a weekly basis testifies of a federal government violating its Constitutional oath to protect American citizens.
We’re witnessing intelligence agencies spying on the American people. Before our eyes, the FBI has morphed into the equivalent of a secret police tasked with surveilling and arresting innocent Americans the U.S. Government deems a threat to its ruling interests.
In recent hearings, Rep. Mike Garca (R-Ca) recently told FBI Director Chris Wray what more and more Americans are thinking, “I don’t trust you.”
Shocking revelations in the last four years, show the FBI working within Facebook, Twitter and other social media to control content and manipulate public opinion to support the interest of the corrupt political class, mostly Democrats. The brilliant Sundance of the Conservative Treehouse, lays out the betrayal of the FBI and the Department of Justice here.
We’re seeing the show trials against President Donald Trump brought about by biased DEI puppets appointed as prosecutors (or is it persecutors?). We watch and understand the reality of sinister interests determined to deprive Americans of their choice for President.

We hear the silence of Republican leadership as the Democrats carry out blatant election interference under Lawfare. Where are the Republican leaders going to microphones daily, condemning the injustice against President Trump?
Yeah, it’s mostly crickets since establishment Republicans want Trump gone just as bad as the Dems and the globalists. Is it any wonder we’ve concluded leadership in both parties are bought and paid for?
Do you know that Congress doesn’t even author its own bills?Representatives and Senators instead, introduce legislation written by lobbyists working for multinational corporations and other special interests.
We’ve come to the realization of government pushing mental illness and sexual perversion as mainstream, worthy of civil rights protection. On the flip side, we see a government antagonistic toward family, Christianity and masculinity.
Why these three areas? It’s not difficult to figure out. Destroy the family and you destroy the bedrock of any society. Counterfeit Chritsiantity, and truth is lost. Demonize masculinity, and the protectors of family and country are cucked.
Put these three areas together and what does this all it add up to? The answer is a weakened country primed for conquest from within.
The evil we face bombards us daily and from all sides. Don’t avert your eyes. Steel your gaze so you will know what to pray for.
Prayer and fasting is needed right now. The evil staring back at us from the abyss is Satanic. This indicates spiritual warfare which means we ask God to intervene and use us on His behalf.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.–Ephesians 6:12 (ESV).
Christian men it is time to fight like real men, by getting our knees and praying fervently for revival in America. We must do so with love in our hearts, not with the hatred of our enemies.
For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ …– 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (ESV)
Our weapons are heavenly , forged and milled with the absolute truth of God. And in these times we are living , it is crucial to put on our spiritual armor daily.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints…–Ephesians 6:13-18(ESV)
The rampant corruption we face is daunting, demoralizing and wearying on our own strength. The evil seems so encompassing because of the passivity and fecklessness of those tasked to protect and uphold the Constitution.
No longer put your faith in these weak men and women. Place your faith squarely on God through His Son , Jesus. Ask God to deliver America from demonic rule according to His will.
Hmm… suddenly abortion is breaking news. Get the feeling the media is creating a narrative of evil Republicans taking away women’s rights? Secondarily, it also appears the Uniparty is attempting to give Democrats a rallying issue for the 2024 Presidential Election.

Recently, Senator Lindsey Graham announced he is reiterating his support of a 15-week federal abortion ban. Days later, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled legislators can enforce an 1864 law banning all abortions, except to save the mother.
Note the word “can “in the Arizona ruling. This means the court has given room for the Arizona legislature to modify the law in the next two weeks. The press conveniently ommits that part in their coverage.
Yes, the left has conditioned many Americans into believing a woman’s fundamental right is terminating her pregnancy. At least that’s what the left is banking on.
First let me say, I agree: Democrats are staunch supporters of that “right” for women. I won’t even argue the point. This party, has the backs of women when it comes to eliminating life formed in the womb.
Abortion was never specifically written in the Constitution, although the Supreme Court, in Roe v. Wade (1973), claimed this “right” exists in under the 14th Amendment. Now, let’s talk about those rights at stake mentioned specifically in the Constitution of the United States, rather than implied through “ penumbras”.
Freedom of speech, the right to peaceful assembly, freedom of religion, the right to bear arms, protection against unreasonable searches and seizure, the right to a speedy and fair trial, protections from excessive bail, and protections from excessive fines and cruel and unusual punishments. There isn’t enough space in this article to chronicle the violations of these Constitutional rights by our own government, led by the Democrats and RINO’s of the Uniparty. I am sure you can think of prime examples.
This election is about the violations of the oath to protect and uphold the Constitution and the rule of law. The rights of families to raise their children, without subversion of parental rights, are also strong voter concerns.

And how about driving the vehicle of your choice, or making sure no one is disenfranchised at the ballot box? Those are issues of liberty.
Compare these issues ,in totality, to the Democrats running on abortion. You begin to realize they have nothing else.
Democrats cannot fight for free speech because they must shut down every criticism of their policies. This, because their issues cannot withstand scrutiny. The same goes for criminalizing large gatherings of flag-waving, pro-America people. This threatens those who hate the country because of the dirty little secret of them being the minority. Democrats demonize the flag, mock Christianity, despise the Constitution, loathe the Founding Fathers, disdain the military, detest the police and abhor anyone who disagrees with them.
Oh, but they loves them some abortion.
Democrats believe more people are outraged over the Supreme Court returning abortion to the states than the invasion of the border, out- of- control crime, election integrity, a crashing economy, and high food and energy prices.
I really hope a majority of voters proves them wrong. If it turns out they are correct this November, then God have mercy on the United States.
Legendary broadcaster Paul Harvey first broadcast this brilliant commentary in 1965. Over 60 years later its relevance remains.
What this also shows is the decay of America has accelerated in the over half a century. Truly we need God more than ever.
Please share with as many of your friends and family as possible. We are amid a spiritual war. John 8:44 speaks of the god of our enemies:
You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
In Christ we are already assured of the victory over the devil. The Bible tells us , we who place our faith and trust in Jesus, win.
America has been the last, best hope for the world. Now America’s last, best hope is Jesus. Only through Him, can we triumph over the darkness enslaving this nation. It all starts with prayer, and repentance of our disobedience to God.
In trying to understand the complete ideological subversion taking place in America, it’s worth revisiting Yuri Bezmenov. The former KGB agent, describes in this 1984 interview, the four stages of ideological subversion destroying America in front of our very eyes.
Ideological supervision is explained beginning at 1:07:29, which I cued up. I encourage you to listen from this point to the end. When you hear it, you will understand why certain friends and loved ones tune out when you present valid facts.
The four stages are 1) demoralization,2) destabilization, 3) crisis and 4)normalization. Bezmenov points out demoralization is completed in America. Keep in mind he stated this 40 years ago!
As you hear the remaining steps, the chaos of the last four years takes on a whole new perspective. You could call this understanding a Great Revelation.
The entire interview is nearly 90 minutes, and also entails Bezmenov’s recruitment by the KGB and eventual defection. Don’t tune out because of the dated graphics. The information, though unpleasant, is even more relevant now.
Just because the Soviet Union no longer exists does not mean communism died. It continues, and has infiltrated major American institutions such as political parties, education, law, Hollywood and even medicine.
Knowledge is power. You can’t fix, resist and change a situation until you understand it. Information, now matter how unsettling, helps you to be that light of reason to those in your sphere. Sunlight is the best disinfectant for evil.
Anthem haters lose big in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament in Albany, NY. The LSU Tigers decided to skip the playing of the National Anthem, leaving the Iowa Hawkeyes on the court alone.
LSU Women’s Basketball Team skipped the National Anthem
Iowa stood proud
LSU just got their ass beat
With the entire stadium cheering against them
Season over
Let this be a lesson to all players: the cringy, selfish woke athlete moment is OVER
The Hawkeyes, fueled by the mostly outraged fans, beat the Tigers 94-87 , advancing to their second straight Final Four. Caitlin Clark led Iowa in a stellar performance, scoring 41 points, dishing out 12 assists and sinking nine three-pointers: the most three-pointers in NCAA Women’s Basketball history!
LSU Coach Kim Mulkey said missing the National Anthem was “nothing intentional”.
“Honestly, I don’t even know when the Anthem was played,” Mulkey said. “We kind of have a routine where we’re on the floor and then they come off at the 12-minute mark. I don’t know. We come in and do our pre-game stuff.”
But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.”–Luke 24:1-7
He is risen! He is risen, indeed!
The empty tomb is a sublime reminder of our Lord and Savior, Jesus, conquering sin and death for us because of His perfect love.
The world tries to snatch our joy, but cannot. Christians are no longer of the world because of the Christ. Our home is where He sits, heaven.
Let’s get out of that mode of just saying Jesus Christ as if Christ is His last name. Christ is a title . Christ in the greek comes from the word Christos, which means anointed. The title is the equivalent of the word mashiach , or messiah in Hebrew. Christ literally means Messiah, the “Anointed One” of God.
Anoint means covered with sacred oil. When God anoints someone, He chooses that person for a special mission or task. God sent Jesus to save the world from sin and death.
For only the Son of God, unblemished and without sin, could be the final and ultimate sacrifice to satisfy God’s wrath against mankind due to our sin. Jesus ransomed us from Satan and death on the cross.
Jesus arose three days later, defeating Satan and death. Blessedly, we are no longer enemies of God when we accept Jesus, the Christ, as our Lord and Savior. Jesus marks us spiritually with His blood, so God sees us not as sinners but as sons and daughters in Christ.
The empty tomb also serves as a reminder that Jesus will return. It’s not a question of if, but when. We should endeavor to live from this moment forward with that promise foremost in our minds.
Yes, we live in this world and our flesh is susceptible to worry and anxious thoughts. Fear only occurs when we take our eyes and thoughts from Jesus .
Let us keep the image of empty tomb as a symbol that we will conquer death, as Jesus did, and spend eternity with our Heavenly Father and His Son, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
God is in control. Nothing is happening in this world outside of His knowledge. One crucial aspect to God’s plan was, and is that empty tomb.
In a slap to the face to Christians, President Joe Biden called attention to Easter/ Resurrection Sunday 2024 as also National Transgender Visibility Day. Call this Biden’s Easter outrage.
And to pour more gasoline on the flame, the White House is banning children participating in the Egg Roll event from placing any religious symbolism or political speech on the eggs they submit. Translation: no crosses, no Jesus, no American flags and definitely, no MAGA.
Keep in mind, children of military families participate in the Easter Egg roll event. Will this affect turnout for Sunday? We’ll see .
Published reports give the impression this is the inaugural celebration, however, a Google search indicates Biden first proclaimed March 31 as this annual celebration in 2023. You read this here.
Biden called transgender persons part of the fabric of America and took the opportunity to savage Republicans.
“But extremists are proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families — silencing teachers; banning books; and even threatening parents, doctors, and nurses with prison for helping parents get care for their children,’ he said in a press release.
‘At the same time, an epidemic of violence against transgender women and girls, especially women and girls of color, continues to take too many lives. Let me be clear: All of these attacks are un-American and must end.
‘Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans: You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong. You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back.”‘
Did I mention Biden declares himself a devout Catholic?
If this trans visibility day was first proclaimed in 2023, why the trolling on the eve of Easter? Biden is doing this in a heated election year and in most polls, trailing President Donald Trump.
I’m thinking this is either the Biden Administration and the Dems believing they’re catering to a huge voting bloc, or they ‘re stoking outrage to divert Americans from something else .
Let’s see how this plays out. Thankfully, Easter will not fall on March 31 again for a decade.
As a Christian, what this thoroughly corrupt administration does elicits no more outrage on my part. I am at the point where nothing they do surprises me.
Biden’s Easter outrage does not change that Jesus is risen… He is risen indeed!
Jesus paid it all for us. We are wretched sinners whom Jesus loved so much that He gave His life for us. Sin must be paid for in blood and Jesus provided the perfect sacrifice, once and for all…
Our Savior now sits at the right hand of God and will return to reclaim His bride: we, the church.
Jesus went to the Father as the Lamb of God, but will return as the Lion of Judah.
Good Friday is the day Christians commemorate the death of our Lord and Savior, Jesus , on the cross. Amen!
I encourage you to read each Gospel account of Jesus’ sacrifice in preparation for Resurrection Sunday/ Easter.
THE CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST
John 17 -37 (Matt. 27:32-38; 48, 50;Mark 15:21-26, 36 ,37; Luke 23:26-33, 38, 46)
17 And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, 18 where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center. 19 Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was:
JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
21 Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘He said, “I am the King of the Jews.” ’ ”
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece. 24 They said therefore among themselves, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:
“They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.”
Therefore the soldiers did these things.
25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!” 27 Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.
28 After this, Jesus, [a]knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” 29 Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. 30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
31 Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. 35 And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe. 36 For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, “Not one of His bones shall be broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, “They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”
THE BURIAL OF CHRIST
John 19:38-42 (Matt.27:57-60; Mark 15:42-46; Luke 23:50-54)
38 After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus. 39 And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. 40 Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. 41 Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42 So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby. _____________________________________________________________
Some people ask what is so good about Good Friday , a day full of brutality? What makes this day so historic was Jesus sacrificing His life for us while we were still sinners. In other words, while we were God’s enemies.
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.–John 3:16-17
Some days I look at political and cultural news and it just makes me weary. Everyday a new outrage, injustice or tragedy is reported and I wonder, will we ever get a break?
You can only go to the emotional well so many times. After a while you just reach a point where you look at headlines of Democrat cheating, RINO backstabbing and lawlessness and just think to yourself, par for the course.
Ask yourself, “Is it healthy to harp on politics everyday?” Has politics always dominated our lives, speech, entertainment and employment or is this a new phenomenon?
I believe it’s the latter and I am convinced it’s purposeful.
First, the nature of political discourse has changed. What used to be passionate disagreements have turned into literal religious arguments.
Political disagreements used to consist of debates about policy. You know… supply-side economics, trickle-down economics, affirmative action vs merit, etc. But now, how can you debate the pros and cons of millions of illegal aliens invading our borders? How can you even debate the merits of electric vehicles, when some state governments mandate a ban on gas powered vehicles by 2035?
Perhaps the dominance of politics in our daily parlance has more to do with government ruling , rather than serving the people? Americans aren’t stupid. They see a president more concerned over calling Laken Riley’s killer , an illegal immigrant rather than “undocumented” and they understand this leader cares less about ordinary Americans.
Depressing is an apt word for our current situation.
So what’s the cure?
The obvious answer is to give yourself a break from the news every now and then. Guess what? All the crap happening now won’t lessen one iota by you wasting anger or worry about it.
Watch movies or tv shows from your past, where good triumphs over evil. Go fishing, teach your kids or grandkids a skill. Go for a walk with your wife and talk about about everything other than politics.
Get back to the truth of God, family and country as more important than politics. Pray, thanking God for His blessings. Study the Bible to learn about God’s love and plans for those who love Him.
Learn about Jesus so you can return hate with love and unforgiveness with forgiveness.
Jesus tells us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us that we may be children of our Father in heaven. (Matt. 5:44-45). How about we start dictating the rules according to the love of Jesus, rather than the hatred of man?
When we start to worry or grow anxious, God wants us to cast those concerns upon Him.
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.–1 Peter 5:6-7
Finally, when you are weary of everything, take it to the Lord.
…[B]ut those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.– Isaiah 40:31
Only God can give us a break, and that’s in addition to joy , peace and love.
In Tucker Carlson’s latest interview, he speaks with former Congresswoman and now Fox contributor, Tulsi Gabbard. Among the subjects covered: Gabbard’s criticism of Hilary Clinton, her leaving the Democrat Party, and Gabbard’s potential as Donald Trump’s Vice President choice.
It is the last subject of Gabbard as VP that Carlson seems to push in the interview. While Gabbard has taken some principled stands, is former Army and says the the right conservative things, I hope Trump does not pick her as his running mate.
Trump needs a loyal outsider not a D.C. insider. I wrote about this in length here.
Personally, I’m not even sure Trump needs to place her in a cabinet position. Her value is right where she is.
Revelation: The act of revealing or disclosing. noun Something revealed, especially a dramatic disclosure of something not previously known or realized. noun A sudden insight or idea. noun Theology A manifestation of divine will or truth–The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.
The Great Revelation…America and the rest of the world is living it right now. More and more people are coming to the reality of government tyranny.
With that Eureka moment, a depressing fact takes center stage: these governments, hate the people . We’re not talking some mild annoyance, but a genuine loathing of those they were elected to serve.
Why else are we experiencing a level of tyranny and lawlessness that until the past four years, people would have never thought conceivable in America and Western Civilization?
Who would have ever thought in America, an incumbent president attempting to criminalize and silence his opponent? Did you ever imagine a country, founded on the rule of law, establishing a two-tier system of justice that spares the guilty while prosecuting the innocent?
And the amazing thing is, they’re not even trying to hide their authoritarianism anymore. In Canada, the assets of protesting truckers were frozen. In Australia, the government initiated quarantine camps for vaccine refusers. And today, we find out that the initial roll-out for a digital currency trading platform could begin as soon as 12 to 24 months.
If a Central Bank digital monetary system doesn’t concern you as a threat to liberty, it should. This means government will not only be able to monitor the transactions of every citizen, but will also have the ability to freeze assets of anyone deemed a danger. This could be a political opponent or even you, for demanding redress.
America is a Constitutional Republic currently ruled by certain individuals who hate the Constitution, the founding document they swore an oath to defend. Oh, they call our form of government , democracy, and they keep telling us it, not the Constitution, is what’s under threat.
But think about who the tyrants deem a threat to democracy. Is it the invaders pouring through our border daily? Nope. Is it those who use family political influence to enrich themselves? Negative. Or how those about social media companies who censor under the rubric of misinformation, malformation or disinformation? Uh uh.
Instead, the threat to democracy is the businessman and former President, and those who support him. It’s the protestors who dared question the results of of the last presidential election. It’s the American who takes seriously the 2nd Amendment. It’s also the man or woman who refused the covid jab and refused to comply with mask mandates. It’s the person who believes God only created two sexes or genders, if you will. Finally, it is the citizen reporter who breaks stories the propaganda media ignore.
This is the Great Revelation. It’s sad and scary, but at the same time, necessary. After all, an alcoholic can only change once he hits rock bottom. The same goes for a rotting foundation of a house. It must be repaired and strengthened before any remodel can begin.
In America’s case, we had to see this the level of evil to realize how much we need God back in the forefront of our governance and morality.
Some have called this a new Great Awakening. I disagree, because every other Awakening in our history was sparked by certain Christian leaders who preached God’s love and called for repentance. While some vocal Christian leaders exist currently, none of them are leading a movement on a massive scale.
Instead, the revelation of institutional evil is shaking the people out of their former apathy, not, solely, the conviction of God’s word. What they see, frightens them. They want to go back to how America used to be. The question is, do they want to go back to that complacency of economic prosperity or do they want God?
I really hope its God they want. While our economic prosperity was and is a blessing; worshipping it , instead of the Creator, got us in our current situation.
Now when they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples; and He said to them, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.”
So they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosed it. But some of those who stood there said to them, “What are you doing, loosing the colt?”
And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go. Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it. And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:
“Hosanna! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ 10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David That comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” 11 And Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple. So when He had looked around at all things, as the hour was already late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve.
Remember the FDA demanding censorship of doctors for “misinformation” regarding the efficacy of Ivermectin as a Covid treatment in 2020? Flash forward four years, now the FDA settles in major lawsuit over Ivermectin.
The late Clayland Bowden Gray and the Frontline Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) initiated the lawsuit. Although the FDA admits no wrongdoing, settling out of court usually indicates no confidence in winning the case.
The FDA must now remove every piece of published and/or posted advice against the use of Ivermectin to combat Covid. Yeah, the propaganda which gave a frightened public no other treatment options except for the jab.
Demonizing other treatments allowed the FDA to distribute the shots under Emergency Use Authorization. EUA is only granted when no other viable treatment options exist.
Remember FDA reports and tweets ridiculing Ivermectin as a horse dewormer and alarming people of its toxicity? Think back also to the propaganda-media and late-night talk show hosts backing the FDA.
In his sub-stack titled,”The FDA Settled With Us Because They Knew They Were Going To Lose”, Dr. Pierre Kory gives the backstory of the lawsuit . Here’s an excerpt:
In my book, The War on Ivermectin, Chapter 33 is called “The Horse Dewormer PR Campaign.” I invite you to see this previous post where I detail the campaign’s highly coordinated and sequentially timed actions between the FDA, CDC, AMA, APHA and corporate controlled media (i.e. late night hosts, news broadcasts, newspapers etc). Clearly, the goal of the campaign was to convince the public that ivermectin was a dangerous and ineffective horse dewormer.
In the wake of that campaign, pharmacies stopped filling valid, legal prescriptions and hospitals removed ivermectin from their formularies. Never had an FDA approved drug, one of the (if not the) safest prescribed medications in history ever been vilified or restricted to this extent. Just like hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin had to be stopped.
Ivermectin has been an effective anti-parasite and anti-viral drug since its discovery in 1975. In 2015, the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine, honored the discovery of Ivermectin.
I encourage you to read Dr. Kory’s entire piece here. It’s a deep dive, but highly informative.
In the latest Tucker Carlson interview , we learn that Ron Paul not only presaged our current economic woes, he also rightly called out the miasma that is Ukraine.
You can watch the full interview on tuckercarlson.com. I have to say that knowing what I know now, I wish I would have voted for Dr. Paul in 1988, 2008 and 2012.
If I could have a do-over, I would have also voted for Pat Buchanan for President of the US in 1996 and 2000, and Tom McClintock for California Governor in 2003, over Arnold Schwarzeneggar.
I will expound on these regrets in a future column
A reader sent me this post from the YouTube channel, Doug in Exile. The host not only recounts the willful lies of the media against Donald Trump’s blood bath comment, he also presents a media montage of their own cliched use of the world. And now… a “bloodbath” chorus.
TRUMP IS A GENIUS:
he trolls legacy media for how many times they used the word “bloodbath”, but when he used it ONCE, they attack him! See video!
LOL. I rarely watch the propaganda media, so I had no idea bloodbath was such an overused cliche. Such montages always illustrate the hive mentality of the propaganda- media and the Democrats.
It really is comical and at the same time, educational. No reporter or anchorperson has an original thought or voice. They wear their bias on their foreheads , reciting the same headlines in the same way.
You know, when watching media coverage of Trump’s “bloodbath” comment, I couldn’t help thinking, wow! This is the joke that is journalism.
All the anchors–pancake makeup, well-coiffed hair, and melodramatic, delivery — all reporting the exact same narrative/ lie.
To recap, at a recent campaign rally, Trump warned of a bloodbath for the American auto industry if he is not re-elected to protect against China’s incursions into the EV market.
The fake news conveniently omitted the context of the auto industry in its initial coverage:
When the media discovered the public wasn’t falling for the schtick, it fell back to the old trope of “Tonight, Trump under fire for controversial comments..” ABC not only ran with this tact, but took the opportunity to work in the media’s J6 narrative for good measure. Watch:

It seems the news outlets got the 4 am fax over the style of coverage of Trump. You know: the template that he’s the greatest danger to American democracy.
Remember what a danger this guy was? Trump rebuilt our military, made us energy independent, gave us a roaring economy, defended the unborn, built most of the border wall, kept us out of war, made inroads with North Korea, got us out of Afghanistan, brought manufacturing back to America, slapped the Chi-coms with import tariffs, removed us from the Paris Climate accords, and even took away the shame of saying Merry Christmas, just to name a few of his many accomplishments.
The press ignores all the good Trump did for the country just so they can continue to gaslight people into hating him. “Stop bad Orange Man!” is the prevailing mainstream mission.
Therefore, no questioning the timing of these court cases against Trump during an election year. Election interference? Nothing to see here.
Black Lives Matter and Antifa burned buildings and killed people during the summer of love, and the media called it peaceful protest. Americans protest the 2020 election in Washington D.C., and the media, along with the Uniparty, demonizes them as insurrectionists.
The fake news image is that of the proverbial trio of monkey’s seeing, speaking and hearing no evil when it comes to parroting the Democrat and corporate narrative.
A press that cannot maintain objectivity becomes, merely, a propaganda arm for tyranny. This is inevitable when the press are subsidiaries of major corporations.
Corporations exist to make their shareholders money, which involves lobbying government. Considering this reality, how can an independent press exist when it’s coverage is so influenced by the bottom line?
So what’s the solution? You’re seeing it in the alternative media. These are the real journalists serving the public and exposing the truth. These enterprising men and women are not beholden to corporate interests, only the people.
And that’s what has D.C. freaked out right now. With these purely independent entities, they can’t control the narrative.
Officials used to be able say any lie or distortion on camera, and it would be months or years before the truth came out. Now this debunking takes place in a matter of hours, thanks to citizen media.
I think citizen-media is a more a apt description than alternative media. Perhaps journalism is better served, and more effective when practiced by persons who are on the receiving end of government policy.
Can the mainstream media re-establish itself as an objective source of information? I don’t believe so. As long as the alphabet networks and the major publications are under the corporate umbrella, there is no possible way a journalist could practice total objectivity without risk of losing their job.
So this is the joke that is journalism. The punchline is more citizen reporters needed.
I read this on X this weekend and it’s funny because it’s true. Here’s your handy media translator guide to read between the lines of what’s reported by the propaganda press.

“No evidence” means there’s a huge pile of evidence. “Conspiracy theory” means the stone cold truth.
How about the old “baseless claims” line they always use against anyone questioning the 2020 election? This is anyone who reasonably suspects election fraud.
“Election deniers”? These are really people who reasonably suspect election fraud.
My favorite is the “election denier fringe.” This equals a majority of likely voters (62 percent).
That majority of 62 percent was the result of a May 2, 2023 poll asking the question “How likely is that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 Presidential Election? That result was a new record high.
I would love to read an updated poll as things have gotten even worse in America.

Seek Jesus with all of your heart, mind, body and strength. If you know Him, make your relationship more intimate with daily prayer and study of your Bible. And when I mention prayer and study, I mean fervently doing both.
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.–1Thessalonians 5:16-18
Seek Jesus the first thing you do upon waking. Set aside at least fifteen minutes in the morning where you go into a designated area of your house and spend time reading and meditating the Word of God.
At work, devote the first five to ten minutes of your lunch break with prayers of thanks and praise.Seek Jesus with your family before your evening meal. Before retiring to sleep, go to your designated area or gather the family to offer prayers of gratitude to the LORD.
Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!–1 Chronicles 16:11(English Standard Version)
Even if you awake during the night, pray for protection of your family from the powers of darkness as you seek Jesus. Pray for God to destroy Satan’s plans against you, family, friends and even your enemies.
God shall arise, his enemies shall be scattered; and those who hate him shall flee before him! As smoke is driven away, so you shall drive them away; as wax melts before fire, so the wicked shall perish before God! But the righteous shall be glad; they shall exult before God; they shall be jubilant with joy!–Psalm 68:1-3(ESV)
Night is when evil celebrates. The disciples of Satan gather for their pagan rituals, offering up demonic prayers for our destruction.

Never forget that we are in spiritual warfare and the devil hates you because of your faith in Jesus. The devil is the enemy and he only comes to steal, kill and destroy( John 10:10).
Therefore, the world hates you. Why does the world hate Christians? It hates us because it is of their father , the evil one. So it should not surprise you regarding the level of evil reigning not only in America , but globally.
Prayer takes us out of the world and into the presence of the Father , the Son and the Holy Spirit. In our communication with God, we become more familiar to His voice and direction.
If you do not know Jesus as Lord and Savior, I would encourage you to stop reading and ask Him to lead your life. Confess and repent of your sins in thought, word and deed. It really is as simple as that.
The truth is, if you are not spiritually marked with the blood of Jesus, then you are a child of the evil one. That should frighten you because you are God’s enemy and your continuation on this path will lead you straight to hell.
For we were created to worship. If you are not seeking God and His will, then , by default, you are worshipping the devil.
Perhaps you are saying, there are many good people in the world, who do charitable deeds and represent virtuous causes. The truth is there is no one good in the world. Their displays of benevolence are only filthy rags to God.
Without God, virtue lifts up the giver, not the receiver. That’s pride, and isn’t that all you hear about in the world?
God hates pride. He despises haughty eyes and a proud spirit. We are never more like Satan than when we think too highly of our selves, and react with hatred to any perceived slight or offense.
Consider also, the world devotes all of its energy into keeping you from surrendering your life to Jesus.The world will distract you , tempt you , shame you , guilt you , scare you, hate you and even kill you to keep you in bondage.
However, the truth sets you free. Most importantly, the Holy Spirit reveals how powerless you are and how desperately you need Christ.
This level of humility , is when you no longer the darkness of the world. You become a light in a world of darkness and begin to understand why those in darkness hate the light. For light exposes their evil deeds, revealing their actions to their minds and conscience.
A retrospective of SARS- CoV-2 by Dr. David Martin takes us on a meticulous, but engrossing journey. “The Great Setup” is a two part presentation that, I can promise you, the media will ignore.
In part 1 , Dr. Martin recounts the beginning of the pathogen’s development , the groundwork for the vaccines and government’s role. Part 2 chronicles the vaccine coercion and behavior manipulation.
Invest the time to watch this. You will glean some stunning historical and contemporary insights.

One takeaway from this discussion, is we have the power. The people can choose to ignore the lies of these organizations and stand on the truth. Truth stops these promulgators of darkness in their tracks.
America is not an ideal, only a country created by God for His will and purposes. We have forgotten this to our peril.
The USA is not some beacon of light beckoning all to come and live in a land of freedom where all their dreams will come true. How many times have you heard this in political speeches?
The fact is, America is nothing but one of many nations God has created. Therefore, this country, for lack of a better term, is an empire that has its appointed time.
And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, 27 that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. —Acts 17:26-27
The purpose of nations during their allotted times is for the people or the nation to find God. He uses all nations for His will and purposes.
Now, God is removing the veil of illusion that politicians have preached to us about how America is all things to all people. The fact is America is only as good as the people running it.
The same goes for other global nations. God has laid bare the corruption affecting governments worldwide. The people are seeing the evil now brought to the surface of their governments.
Sound stewards equal just government. Corrupt opportunists equal unjust government. People in major western nations are realizing their governments hate them.
Our leaders say “God Bless America,” but is it sincere, or just the closing of a speech? Do they believe it in their hearts, or is it to fool the rubes?
I always get a kick when certain presidents–who hate the country as founded, or are on the take–sanctimoniously preach about our shared American values. This is the go-to schtick to justify what was formerly abhorrent or illegal.
I say America is not an ideal, only a country, not to degrade ,but because I love this land God has given us. We have to sober up.
For too long, we’ve ignored God’s laws because of our intoxication with hedonism and wealth. How can we expect to neglect God’s moral precepts and not expect the same rebellion, on the part of political leaders, to statutory law?
Without adherence to, and enforcement of laws, America is speeding to to chaos, tyranny and ultimately, destruction.
It’s ironic, but freedom can only exist under the law. Chaos breeds lawlessness, therefore, lawlessness leads to subjugation.
The reality is, America is slowly descending into strife and must change course. A country is in serious trouble when the law is turned against the law-abiding.That’s the reality, and all the flowery language about “what America stands for” is empty rhetoric.
America’s storied history will not save us from the predicament we find ourselves in. Only with God can the people turn this country around. That begins with humility, repentance, and seeking His face through prayer.
Remember, America is a created thing, a blessing from God. Let us resolve from this day forward no longer to make an idol of the country or the ideal.
America is nothing more than a land our Heavenly Father has blessed us to live in. It cannot inspire or encourage; only God can do so.
Too many Americans worship the country and fit God into it instead of the other way around. I believe the current corruption dominating domestic and global politics is a consequence of this.
More people are realizing how bad things have gotten and want a change to what was before. The question is what do they want to go back to: complacency and affluence, or a nation under God?
People should, by all means, love this country, but they must love God more. He is the only source of freedom and liberty for the United States of America. The Founding Fathers knew this… the problem is most Americans have forgotten.
Christian nationalists… greatest danger to America? Well, that’s what the Democrats are breathlessly warning.
Courtesy: Slate.com
Forget the wide open border, the fentanyl epidemic and the failing economy. It’s those Bible-thumping, Declaration of Independence- reading and Constitution-adhering MAGA extremists threatening democracy!
And get this: these kooks have the unmitigated gall to believe their rights come from God, not government! Talk about delusional! Listen to the alarm from Politico/NBC news chick, Heidi Przybyla :
Here @MSNBC helpfully makes it clear their disdain for Christians in America.
She says that if you believe that your rights come from God, you aren’t a Christian, you are a Christian nationalist.
“The one thing that unites all of them, cause there’s many different groups orbiting, the thing that unites them as Christian nationalists, not Christians, by the way, because Christian nationalist is very different, is that they believe our rights as Americans, as all human beings, don’t come from any earthly authority. They don’t come from Congress, they don’t come from the Supreme Court, they come from God.”
Don’t you love how she distinguishes Christian nationalists from Christians? It’s called the politics of division: divide and conquer. This gives so-called good Christians room to distinguish themselves from those dreaded nationalists whom the media are vilifying .
How dare those Christians, bucking the notion that government determines our rights. Where do you suppose these extremists came up with the crazy idea our rights come from GOD?
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Creator means GOD. Unalienable, means our rights come from GOD, not government. That’s basic civics, man. Perhaps this babe believes DEI is better for America rather than the DoI (Declaration of Independence) ?
I guess that’s the problem with our smarter-than-the -average-bear elitists: they believe history began with their birthdays. Apparently, since everything in America’s history was racist, sexist or homophobic, why not dismiss the founding documents as out of touch with modern beliefs?
For that matter, why not call Christianity a threat? The left, of course is not referring to those Christians who are to0 busy trying to convince the world they are nice people. Those are the good ones, they imply.
Those who don’t know their place are the threat. You know, those individuals who stand for Jesus and, with discernment, boldly speak truth, no matter who it offends.
Well guess who is offended by the truth? It ain’t Christians.
Here’s the reason I believe the Dems are even pushing this whole “Christian nationalist” narrative. People are becoming red-pilled to the damage caused by leftist policies.
Most Americans resent leftist platforms of division, two-tiered justice, rampant homelessness, the transgender movement, child gender transition, racism against white men , decay of our major cities, turning the law against law-abiding citizens, raising the bar of arrestable offenses, allowing men to compete in women’s sports, pronouns, criminalizing political speech and the wide-open southern border.
People are sick of the left’s sanctimonious preaching of how people should think and what words they will use. They are realizing how much the country has degenerated in the one term of President Joe Biden.
Christianity scares the left because it exposes their immorality , despite any gaslighting to the contrary. The “nationalism” pejorative speaks to those Christians who know the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and call out leftists on their violations.
In fact, here’s a truth. The only people trying to remake the world in their image are Democrats/leftists. They are the ones demanding conformity to their warped reality and submission to their socialist plans for government.
This radicalism is the true danger to America. They just don’t want anyone calling them out on it.
Joe Biden gave the angriest and dare I say, most un-presidential State of the Union Speech in my lifetime. It will go down in history as the “Get off my lawn” SOTU.
Biden was like a cranky old man yelling at the neighborhood kids. Can this guy ever give a speech without raging at some point?
Courtesy: Fox News
When Biden wasn’t blaming his predecessor, he called out Republicans for not passing his pet legislation in a very tacky and un-presidential manner. Don’t get me wrong, in every state of the union, the president calls out the rival party for some reason. President Barack Obama’s scolding of the Supreme Court for it’s ruling in the Citizens United case in 2010 was unprecedented at the time.
However,Biden lowered the bar further. He didn’t come off well. But that’s what the people get when the president gives a campaign speech disguised (poorly) as a SOTU speech.
This speech will be most remembered for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene yelling to Biden to say the name of Laken Riley. The 22 year nursing student was brutally murdered by an illegal alien in February. This, thanks to the Biden administration’s open border policy.
Biden said the name, but misspoke calling her “Lincoln Riley”.

Former President Donald Trump calls for GOP unity after amazing Super Tuesday victories. Trump ran the table, winning every state primary except Vermont.
Trump spoke to supporters at Mar-A-Lago where he called President Joe Biden the worst leader this country has ever had:

Nikki Haley won her second primary in Vermont after winning Washington D.C. last week. Rejecting Trump’s calls for unity, Haley says she is not dropping out of the presidential race.
“Unity is not achieved by simply claiming ‘we’re united,'” she continued, an apparent reference to calls from Donald Trump and his allies for the party to join in support of him. “Today, in state after state, there remains a large block of Republican primary voters who are expressing deep concerns about Donald Trump. That is not the unity our party needs for success. Addressing those voters’ concerns will make the Republican Party and America better.”

In the biggest upset of the evening, Maryland entrepreneur Jason Palmer beat President Joe Biden in the Democrat primary in American Samoa. Palmer won 51 of the 90 votes cast. Not a huge turnout, but hey, a win is a win.
Trump’s momentum took on the aspects of a bullet-train this week. This, after the Supreme Court smacked down Colorado’s 14th amendment ruling. The ruling effectively stopped the efforts of other states like Illinois and Maine from removing the 45th President from the ballot.
In an historic, unanimous decision, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) smacks down Colorado’s attempt to remove President Donald Trump from the ballot due to the 14th Amendment. This 9-0 ruling effectively stops the efforts of other states to do the same.
Here’s the media reaction. First, from Fox:
CNN:
BBC:
and finally, NBC.
This is a major victory for President Trump and for America. Praise the Lord!
If media reports are any indication, Democrats are setting up exit, stage left for President Biden under the 25th Amendment. Republicans should keep their mouths shut and make Dems call for the 25thAmendment removal.
It’s obvious President Biden has neither the mental or physical stamina for the job and that was evident even during the 2020 campaign. Yes, conservatives have pointed this out ,but you only have to look at the numerous falls this guy has had.
Despite the signs of Biden’s weakening capacities, the media constantly gaslights people not to believe their lying eyes … until recently. Now, the ministers of truth are presenting more and more stories questioning the 46th President’s physical and cognitive capabilities.
Trust me, this isn’t some revelation on the part of enterprising reporters and producers. The propaganda-press isn’t saying to themselves, “You know those conservatives are right about Biden.”
No. They’ve been given their marching orders to bring Biden down.
Will we see Biden’s downfall in upcoming weeks? Not likely. My theory is we’ll see a slow build-up with intermittent stories designed to develop a gradually increasing media narrative.
Courtesy: Fox News
Will Biden get the Democrat nomination? Most likely.
Until then, just sit back and observe. Fellow liberals, and even some RINO’s, will continue to praise Biden and gaslight any facts to the contrary.
That is, until he gets the nomination. This is when I believe the whispers of removing him turn into an incessant chorus.
The 25th Amendment spells out the transfer of power if a president or vice-president cannot carry out their duties. It also allows for the removal of a President by the VP and the cabinet and or by 2/3 vote in both houses of Congress. Here’s the full amendment .
The 25th Amendment became law in 1967. Congress passed it in the wake of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn into office, but the office of the VP remained vacant for over a year before LBJ selected Senator Hubert Humphrey as his running mate for the 1964 Presidential Election.
Congress and presidents have used the 25th Amendment a handful of times. From Annenberg Classroom:
The Twenty-fifth Amendment went into effect in 1967 and was first applied in 1973 upon the resignation of Vice President Spiro Agnew, who was facing charges of bribery and corruption. President Richard Nixon then appointed House Republican minority leader Gerald R. Ford as the new Vice President. Less than a year later, Nixon resigned the Presidency as a result of the Watergate scandal. Ford became President and appointed former New York governor Nelson Rockefeller as Vice President. Ford and Rockefeller thus became the nation’s first unelected team of President and Vice President.
The “acting President” provision of the Twenty-fifth Amendment was first invoked on July 13, 1985, when President Ronald Reagan underwent cancer surgery. He signed a letter transferring power to Vice President George H.W. Bush and sent another letter to the Speaker of the House and president pro tempore of the Senate, as the amendment required. Following his surgery, Reagan notified them that he was fit to resume his Presidential duties. In 2002, President George W. Bush signed similar letters to transfer power temporarily to Vice President Dick Cheney, while Bush was sedated briefly during a medical procedure known as a colonoscopy.
The media pushed the use of the law during much of the Trump Administration, reaching a deafening crescendo in the aftermath of the January 6 psyop of “insurrection”. The Dems, aided by their bullhorn , the propaganda- media ,called for then VP Mike Pence and members of the Trump Administration to dispatch Trump with the 25th Amendment. Pence refused , so the effort never gained fruition despite the drumbeat mantra by the media.
Fast forward to now. The 25h Amendment chant will grow louder, the closer the country gets to the Democrats nominating Biden. This rhetoric will reach maximum frequency in the media after he accepts.
Why should Dems have it both ways? They shouldn’t get the benefit of picking a decrepit candidate because of his value as a puppet, and then replacing him with a candidate who can circumvent the nomination process.
The Dems can only pull this off if RINOs provide rhetorical cover. You already know the script: wall-to-wall media coverage showing Biden’s decline. Senate speeches featuring the usual suspect RINO’s Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham , Mitch McConnell , etc, saying how for the good of the country, Biden must step down …blah,blah,blah.
Spare us that “good for the country “soapbox. An estimated 18 million illegals have entered America through the southern border, including military aged men, thanks to Biden’s policies. Actually I should say the policies of Biden’s puppet masters.
The border crisis is a disaster of epic proportions. Any “good” for the country at this point is pure gaslighting.
Nothing like ruining the nation for four years and then having the luxury of a mulligan. That’s exactly what would happen if RINO’s lead the chorus to remove Biden. They will provide the Dems with political cover to remove their failed incumbent and replace him with Michelle Obama, Gavin Newsom, or someone else.
What’s the issue here? The problem is the Democrat National Committee nominating an unscathed candidate.
The nominee would be a clean slate, from the advantage of not slogging through a bruising primary. This means no exposure of problematic policies or past stands normally exposed during a primary; plus he’s given all the former incumbent’s delegates without campaigning.
This would allow the media long knives sole focus on Trump’s legal battles, courtesy of lawfare. You can read about lawfare , here.
Why should the Dems be allowed to have it both ways? They shouldn’t, but unfortunately RINOS will most likely do what they do best: running cover for the Dems when the people are on the verge of rejecting them.
I hope I am wrong, but history says otherwise. Shout to the mountaintops you freedom-loving Americans. Tell the stupid party to shut up when it comes to the 25th Amendment. Make the Dems call for the its enactment.
If Joe Biden is removed, make the Dems the catalyst. If they bring in another candidate, allow their exposure as hypocrites, and exact from them all the political damage possible.
What is lawfare? Lawfare is a system of warfare using the legal system as weapons against an intended target.
The goal is simple: bring wave after wave of accusations, lawsuits and cases against the target, forcing them to devote time and finances to defend against the charges. And like every leftist tactic, they rig it in their favor.
First, lawfare prosecutors in blue states bring charges using some obscure law or rehashing previous cases from a new standpoint. Next, the propaganda-media manipulates public opinion with reports favoring the leftist prosecutors. The media narrative portrays the target in a negative light as if conviction is a foregone conclusion.
Finally , the battlefield is a jurisdiction with a biased jury pool or judge. Further stacking the deck, are judges not allowing evidence that casts doubt on the charges.
Does any of lawfare sound familiar? This is exactly what is happening to former President Donald Trump.

Why do you think all of these legal cases have descended on Trump on multiple fronts in an election year? The goal is to create in the pubic consciousness an image of this man embattled on all sides, so why waste your vote?
Last week, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron slapped Trump with a $355 million ruling in a case prosecuted by the partisan state Attorney General Letitia James. Trump also cannot do business in New York for three years under the ruling.
In January, a New York jury ordered Trump to pay $83 million for defaming E. Jean Carroll. The author and columnist accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in a Manhattan department store.
Of course the propaganda media reported the rulings with wall -to- wall coverage, branding it viewers’s minds that Trump is not above the law. However, they conveniently ignored or played down the problems with both trials, from Trump accusing Engoron of practically pronouncing him guilty from the beginning, and AG James getting elected on the promise she’s going to get Trump.
Not to mention, for someone on trial for fraud, no one who did business with Trump reported any fraud on his part. Engoron said Trump committed fraud by elevating the worth of his properties and assets: a familiar practice in business and loan transactions.
In the E. Jean Carroll trial, the judge refused to allow Trump attorneys to present evidence that would have cast doubt on her character and the validity of the suit. Remember, this woman is accusing Trump of sexual assault , yet she struggled to remember the exact year of when it happened.
Trump will appeal both cases. The only problem with the latest ruling is a New York state law prevents Trump from starting the appeal process until he pays the full amount which is actually $450 million with interest included. James promises to seize Trump properties if the bond is not posted in 30 days.
Let’s see, excessive fines and restrictions from doing business in New York… Eighth Amendment violation anyone?
Who cares? It’s lawfare. Shaky legal ground? That’s your truth. Implying guilt is all that matters. The brilliant Sundance at the Conservative Treehouse nails the definition of lawfare.
Like everything else about the left, lawfare is a tool to manipulate people’s thoughts, especially in an election year. This goes from location to the prosecutors chosen.
Take note that all these trials are taking place in major liberal strongholds where the jury pool or judge is anti-Trump such as New York, Washington D.C. and Fulton County, Georgia. Also is it a coincidence the prosecutors bringing these cases are predominantly black?
From clockwise: NY AG Letitia James, Special Counsel Jack Smith, Fulton County DA Fani Willis and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg
With the emperor-is-wearing-no -clothes mentality of culture, we’re not to state the obvious. But before you yell at your computer, “That’s racist!” Keep in mind that your humble writer is an American who happens to be black.
Why are most of these prosecutors of the same race? Perhaps it is to lessen criticism? (i.e. If you question the prosecutors’ motivations or merits of the cases that makes you a racist?) Or maybe the inference is Trump must be a racist/extremist if these minority prosecutors are going after him? Remember, there are no coincidences with the left.
But what about Jack Smith in the J6 trials? He’s a white guy.
True.
However, Smith has a reputation of having a case overturned by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) in a unanimous 8-0 decision. SCOTUS’ rebuke of Smith, with the liberal and conservative justices in agreement , testifies to the ruthless tactics this guy is known to use. In other words, he’s perfect for lawfare.
What is lawfare? No heroics or gallantry to see here folks; just the scorched- earth politics of personal destruction. That is lawfare.
Keep this in mind as we draw closer to Election Day in November.
Are we to submit to wicked leaders ? To this day, Christians continue to debate Romans 13:1-7 . In it, the Apostle Paul speaks of the Christian’s responsibility to submit to government authorities.
Here’s the passage:
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as amatter of conscience.
This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
Some Christians interpret this passage as meaning believers are literally to submit to all government authority, even if it is corrupt. Other Christians believe government corruption severs that requirement of submitting to compromised authority: especially when such governments exalt evil and denigrate good.
Which side is correct? To determine this we need to look at the context of when Paul wrote Romans 13.
Yes, it was during the reign of Nero, one the cruelest persecutors of Christians in history. How evil was Nero? Until the fifth century, many early Christians believed he was the antichrist.
This sadist had Christians crucified and had Christians dipped in tar and set on fire to light his gardens. Nero also ordered Christians to fight in gladiator matches or had them torn apart by lions or hungry dogs in the arena.
Many Christians , including myself, thought Nero’s emperorship was the context in which Romans 13:1-7 was written. We were partly right.
Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus ruled the Roman Empire from 54-68 AD . Surprisingly during his early reign, Nero was a just ruler who allowed the Christian faith to flourish. Many theologians believe this was the context Romans was written.
“…(T)he historical context of Rome prior to AD 62 shows that when Paul wrote Romans, Nero was an exceptionally good ruler who allowed Christianity to flourish, thus while Paul’s guidance in Romans applies when the government is just, the text does not address what to do when tyrannical governments persecute believers or others unjustly.”
Historians believe it was around 62 AD his reign became darkened. Paul wrote Romans around 57 AD before Nero’s reign of terror against the church. Therefore, it is highly likely Nero’s government held no terror for those who did right , but for those who did wrong.
However, the opposite would come about in Rome: terror for those who did right. Paul is believed to have been beheaded in Rome somewhere around 65 and 67 after Nero blamed Christians for the great Rome fire in 64 AD. Was the fire an accident or willful arson by Nero? You can read about that in more detail here.
Paul never wrote directly of Christian responsibility when government protects sin and becomes a terror for good. However, the Bible does cite examples of civil disobedience.
Two of the earliest examples (of civil disobedience) were a pair of Hebrew midwives by the name of Shiprah and Puah. These two refused to obey Pharaoh’s order to kill all male Hebrew babies during their duties.
But the midwifes feared God , and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive.(Exodus 1:17)
Consider also Rahab, who ignored a command from the king of Jericho to turn in the Israelite spies …Rahab, a prostitute disobeyed the command and later lied to authorities about the spies whereabouts as she was hiding them under stalks of flax on her roof…
I also mentioned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego who refused to bow before an idol of King Nebuchadnezzar . They were thrown into a fiery furnace where not one hair was singed thanks to the intervention of a being widely believed to be the pre-incarnate Christ. (Daniel 3:10-25)
There are also examples of biblical disobedience in the New Testament .Here’s an excerpt from Acts 4:18-20, but I recommend you start from the beginning of this chapter:
Then they ( the rulers, elders, scribes) called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
Based on these examples, I don’t believe Romans 13:1-7 tells us to blindly submit to wicked government. Does this mean we should commit violence or torment revolution? No. However we are to speak boldly about Jesus and call out evil.
Oh, and one more thing. What makes America different from other governments in history is our founding documents, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States .
The Declaration of Independence declares our rights are unalienable , in that they come from God. The Constitution lays out our form of limited government. But these are subjects for a future column.
The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in LVIII a game marred by miscues not only on the field but in the presentation. However this is not a recap of the game, but a discussion of Super Bowl discernment.

Super Bowl LVIII gave fans its second overtime in its history and produced the the longest field goal , followed by the breaking of it later in the game. The Chiefs also won their second World Championship in a row, getting many fans to whisper the “dynasty”word. These happenings will make this Super Bowl memorable in the annals of NFL history.
What many of us wish we could forget is the constant politicization of the Super Bowl and professional sports in general. These radical activists have succeeding in usurping major sporting events, something which millions of people are watching, and using the forum to force their messages down people’s throats.
Why sing the black national anthem before the National Anthem? Answer: because of the George Floyd inspired riots in 2020. Considering this context one can only conclude the song is played as a constant reminder that racism is prevalent in America.
Courtesy: The Hollywood Reporter
Does racism still exist in America? Of course racism exists , but it certainly is not as prevalent as when “Lift Every Voice and Sing” was written in 1900. The very fact that a black national anthem is even televised to an audience of millions testifies to this reality.
So is the purpose of this song is division? It would seem so.
In its virtue signaling, the NFL seems to agree the National Anthem does not represent black Americans, therefore they must have their own. Doesn’t this hurt, rather than help race relations?
I find it interesting that despite the cries of racial unity, such accommodation only works to drive people further apart. I say this as an American who happens to be black.
As for the Super Bowl commercials , they were less politically offensive than in years past. Laugh out-loud funny was the Christopher Walken commercial, but I have to say I could not tell you the product advertised after first watching it.
The commercials that annoyed me the most were those for Bud Lite and, ironically the He Gets Us ads. I will explain.
Bud Lite basically gave the finger to its loyal consumers when they embraced the whole Dylan Mulvaney transgender campaign. Sales plunged and customers loyalties went to rival brands. The customer backlash was a powerful example of people protesting with their wallets. I just wish certain sports personalities would support the offended, rather than accepting a paycheck from Bud.
Before I get into the He Gets Us ad, let me preface by saying I am a God-fearing man. You probably deduced that from the articles I have written.
With that said, I find these this entire campaign sanctimonious and shallow. While watching, I could not put my finger on why I disliked this ad, but after further thought, it hit me.
The ad shows how we should demonstrate Jesus’ example of love. All well and good, but what’s the significance of Jesus’ love that’s missing from these ads?
Our sin is what’s missing from these ads. In no “He Gets Us” ad does it mention that God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son to die for our sins. (John 3:16).
No, instead it takes Jesus washing the disciples feet and turns it into into a Kumbaya moment of showing kindness to our adversaries. Yes we are called to be servants as Jesus was, and yes, we are to love our neighbor as ourselves, but the significance of Jesus washing the disciples’ feet symbolizes that only He can wash away our sins.
Jesus did this act of humility during the last supper, before going to the cross. Before His death and resurrection the, Son of God took on the sins of the entire world to save us.
Finally, we come to the halftime show: a colorful and bloated display of excessive banality. Usher is fine singer but I lost interest within five minutes due to the scattershot nature of the performance.
I don’t blame Usher. He’s merely following the blueprint of the producers and directors.
Every halftime show is this over-hyped , over-choreographed spectacle of lip-synched medleys. Frankly, it’s stale and boring.
I got an idea, how about going back to basics? Why not bring out some unique marching bands instead? Skillful musicians and precise arrangements are more compelling than some music artist phoning it in.
Anyway, that’s my 2024 Super Bowl discernment. What did you think? Looking forward to your comments.
Lots of speculation over President Donald Trump’s VP choice. Whoever Mr. Trump picks, it must be a Washington D.C. outsider.
Why must Trump bring in someone independent of the Washington establishment? Something taints people after spending enough time in D.C. Even those considered strong conservatives should be viewed with a jaded eye.
Pundits are pushing Congresswoman Elise Stefanik or Senator Tim Scott as solid VP choices. I disagree wholeheartedly.
Rep. Elise Stefanik
While a principled legislator and a defender of President Trump during the Russia – Russia hoax, Stefanik is a member of Congress. This means she makes her living compromising for the best legislation. After all, isn’t that the nature of politics: giving something to get something?
Senator Tim Scott
The same goes for Senator Scott. He seems to be a decent guy, and has defended Trump on numerous occasions, but despite his Christian-conservative bona fides, he’s still an insider.
Yes, I understand the executive branch has to sometimes compromise with the House and Senate. And yes, I understand sometimes “inside baseball “knowledge is needed to get things done.
HOWEVER …
In the times we are living, any compromise with Congress must mean them coming to the people’s side, as represented by Trump, rather than the other way around. This means Washington insiders are the last thing needed due to their exposure to the D.C. virus.
What is the D.C. virus? I call it a contagion that taints politicians’ view of the people, weakens their spines, and grafts them into the hive mentality of doublespeak, fence-sitting and taking “principled” stands only when election time rolls around.
Because of this virus, every soundbite or vote a legislator makes becomes a political calculation. Standing strong on a matter usually comes after wetting that finger and figuring out which way the political winds are blowing. Are there exceptions to this? Of course, and I think Ms. Stefanik is probably one of those exceptions; perhaps even more so than Mr. Scott, in my humble opinion.
BUT…
Non-politicians must step up to fix Washington: ordinary men and women who view the current system with disgust and believe the needs of the American people ( not lobbyists) should take prominence in every piece of legislation.
Key traits needed? They must be unflappable independent thinkers.
This must apply to those running for congressional office and for Trump’s Vice President choice. When it comes to the VP, only one person fits this description: Dr. Ben Carson.
Dr. Ben Carson
Carson is not a politician, but a former neurosurgeon. Why is this important? Neurosurgeons are at the top-tier of the surgical hierarchy.
Neurosurgeons perform precise and delicate procedures involving the brain and the spinal cord. We’re talking high stakes with the risk of maximum harm. If you compare surgeons to military special forces, then neurosurgeons are the Navy Seals of the medical profession.
With this in mind, consider that Carson was the best-of-the-best of neurosurgeons. At 33 years old, Carson was the youngest head of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He gained national attention in 1987 when he and his team performed the first separation of infant conjoined twins. You can read about that here and here.
If that’s not enough to prove Carson is no empty suit, consider his life story: parents divorcing when he was young, growing up in a single parent home, living in poverty, having a violent temper and thought of as dumb by elementary school classmates. He was blessed to have a strong mother who taught him and his brother the value of reading. His Christian faith overcame his past, making him the brilliant surgeon and walk-the walk conservative he is today.
What sets Carson apart is his fearlessness to speak truths no matter who is offended. This was on full display during his 2013 National Prayer Breakfast speech with President Barack Obama in attendance. Carson’s speech stood out because it was antithetical to Obama’s divisive policies of fundamentally transforming America.
Making America great again means looking to the talents, wisdom, humility and patriotism of successful Americans. These are the people we need in political office, not professional politicians.
As Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in Trump’s last administration, Carson got an up-close and personal of D.C. dealings. Some may say that makes him an insider.
No way.
Although Carson headed HUD, he didn’t have to worry about re-election or towing the party line. He made executive decisions, independent of legislative bodies.
Trump needs a loyal wingman who could later take the baton as his successor and pass it along responsibly. Carson most certainly fits the bill for Trump’s VP choice.
Introducing… atmospheric rivers. You may have heard the term before, but now the media has decided you’re really going to learn about it.
As of this writing, Southern California is experiencing the second of a three to four day pelting of winter storms caused by atmospheric rivers; a relatively new meteorological phenomenon. I must admit, until the last couple of weeks , this term has flown below my radar.
But , boy is the media reporting at breathless pitch. “Atmospheric Rivers!” ”Dangerous driving conditions!” “Flash flood Warnings!” “Strong winds knocking down trees!” ”Historic rainfall!”
And right on cue, state of emergency declarations issued at the beginning of the SoCal onslaught, warned people, out of an abundance of caution, not to travel during severe weather. This news conference by LA Mayor Karen Bass is cued at 2:05. Listen to 2:42:
Courtesy: KTLA
I’m sure Mayor Bass cares for her constituents. However, didn’t this news conference come off as just a bit condescending?
A reader sent me this picture they snapped while driving before the first drop rain drop hit their area.
We need a sign telling us to avoid travel? Don’t most people make the decision of basing their travel on weather conditions without prompting by government?
But now, introducing… atmospheric rivers.
Apparently, the term has been floating in the atmosphere since the 1990’s , when it was first coined by a pair of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A Bay Area news outlet explains what an atmospheric river is in this video prompted at :20
“Long flowing bands of water vapor that move through the sky. They can be just 250 miles wide and extend over 1000 miles in length.”
I am no expert, but this sounds like a description of clouds.
‘The origin of these vapor rivers can be found in the warm waters of the tropical pacific… the warm water …evaporates… that water vapor carried by the wind is the key element and has the potential to produce excessive rain and snow…”
Evaporation of ocean water… isn’t this how rain forms ?
Granted, the tropical origin contributes to the familiar term “Pineapple Express” which has been a weather phenomenon for as long as I can remember. But now the experts tell us a “Pineapple Express” is a type of atmospheric river.
The earliest article I found, in my research, was from 2014 and over the years, scientists have written how atmospheric rivers can be a blessing and a curse.
As a blessing, meteorologists say the phenomenon has , in some years accounted for up to 50 percent of the rainfall totals in California. But the curse, according to meteorological research is the torrential rains and damaging wind gusts associated with atmospheric rivers.
Ok.
Adverse events have accompanied “Pineapple Express” events in years past. Like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, certain areas are just prone to floods and flash floods. The same goes for mudslides happening in the usual foothill and burn areas. These are common occurrences in Southern California during periods of heavy rain.
Courtesy: BNN
Usually the media inundates us with breathless “storm-watch” reporting, showing viewers the aftermath of flooding, toppled trees, downed power lines and morning commuters on flooded streets. Viewers have seen those images with this storm, but with a different mantra.
Now the media chorus is “atmospheric river this” and “atmospheric river that.” Going back to my research , the bulk of the press regarding AR’s has been 2024 and 2023. Is this a building narrative by the media?
When every news outlet is saying the same term, that is a narrative. A narrative is when the media wants you to think or believe in a certain way. What does the media want us to think about atmospheric rivers?
Let’s be honest, “storm-watch” has become a hackneyed term, a tired cliche. Atmospheric river …well… that has a fearful ring to it , especially when climate change is brought into the equation.
Just do an internet search. You will find many stories about AR’s inevitably declaring how climate change could make these weather events much worse. That, of course, is supposed to scare you.
Maybe ginning up more fear about climate change explains this intense desire to introduce the public to atmospheric rivers? Or maybe atmospheric rivers are a very real , potentially destructive force of nature that deserve more research? You be the judge.
There’s plenty to fear in our current world: wars, rumors of war, pandemics, rising crime rates and invasion at our souther border. Yet the Bible tells us to fear not. Simply put, when we fear God, not man, our Heavenly Father blesses us with peace and wisdom.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.–Proverbs 9:10 (English Standard Version)
If the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, what does the fear of man yield?
The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is safe. –Proverbs 29:25 (ESV)
The American Heritage dictionary defines a snare as: 1.A trapping device, often consisting of a noose, used for capturing birds and small mammals. 2. Something that lures or entangles the unwary.
When a snare catches an animal , the noose tightens as it struggles to get away. This provides a perfect metaphor for fearing man.
How does the fear of man snare people? Worrying what people think or say about us can cause us to stay silent when we should witness or defend our faith in Jesus. You may even decline to stand against evil due to worries of loss of livelihood, reputation, or even your life.
The reality is we are compliant to what we fear. Yes, we obeyed our parents as children our of respect, but mostly because we feared the consequences of the belt or grounding.
Remember also as a child going along with your group of friends because of peer pressure? We did so out of fear of ostracism.
I’d like to now revisit a situation in recent history in which all the fears mentioned above were encapsulated into a single, surreal event: the Covid pandemic . As you will see, this was a snare on many levels.
Many of us lost loved ones due to Covid, which was terrible and tragic. The elderly and those with chronic chronic conditions were most at risk. Yet ,instead of focusing on those who were at risk, government aided by the media chose to frighten every citizen out of their minds.
Numbers were inflated by hospitals . People who died in car accidents or had heart attacks, etc were said to have died of Covid if they even had a trace of the virus at the time of their death. This practice only aided in the panic.
Infected elderly people were returned to nursing homes under orders by health officials, leading to more deaths and inflating the death toll. This was largely ignored by the press, who instead focused on stories of food and toilet paper shortages, overwhelmed emergency rooms or how Covid would affect the incumbent president’s reelection. If this wasn’t bad enough, one news outlet had a Covid death ticker running during each broadcast.
People did anything they could to get out of that snare, as indicated by their blind allegiance to every arbitrary government edict. Many comforted themselves they were doing good and protecting elderly loved ones as they surrendered to tyranny.
People wore masks everywhere, even when walking with their spouse in the park, or driving alone. They stayed six feet apart even though the rule was unscientific.
Families hunkered down, isolating themselves from friends and loved ones. Many parents didn’t pushback against schools shutting down; forcing their kids to learn via Zoom. Many Christians stopped going to church due to fears of catching the virus.
On the other hand, many God-fearing Christians chose freedom over authoritarianism. They resolved not to live in fear, because they believe God determines their calling into heaven. If Covid was to be that opening of the door to eternity, then so be it.
These men and women continued social gatherings during the lockdowns. Despite following mask mandates early on , they later declined when reports came out questioning the effectiveness of the mandates (which recent reports have validated). These were men and women who walked into supermarkets unmasked and allowed their kids to have sleepovers with friends. Their fear of God trumped their fear of man.
So we can confidently say,“The Lord is my helper;I will not fear; what can man do to me?”–Hebrews 13:6
Why did I spend a good part of this column revisiting Covid? We are in an election year in which certain forces do not want the return of a certain president. We’ll refer to him as DJT.
Covid coincidentally came just before 2020 presidential campaign, along with rioting in major cities. If this happened as a prelude to campaign season, what do you think these forces have planned in 2024? After all, this DJT is winning primaries and surging in polls? It’s not difficult to imagine.
Let me encourage you to fear not as wars, rumors of war, threats of future pandemics and terrorist attacks loom. Pray often, study your Bible,and trust in the peace and protection of the LORD through your faith in Jesus.
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.–2 Timothy 1:7 (ESV)
If conviction reveals your fear of man as greater than your fear of God, take heart. You do not have to remain enslaved.
Jesus sets you free when you ask Him to be Lord and Savior of your life. Surrendering your life to God, though Jesus and the by the power of the Holy Spirit, reveals truth and takes away fear.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.–Romans 12:2 (ESV)
Now is the time to do this. I hope I am wrong, but I believe 2024 will be unlike any year in our lifetime. Those who keep their eyes on Jesus will be steadied by the power of the Holy Spirit no matter what happens. Therefore, we can encourage others to fear God, not man
Is Paramount Entertainment erasing Captain Kirk? The iconic William Shatner recently made the case on social media the answer is yes .
Why? Shatner says the character threatens the studio’s modern sensibilities.
William Shatner
A fan asked the 92 year old actor on whether Paramount Studios will reprise the role of Captain James T. Kirk .
“All you have to do is look at the Paramount+ graphics to answer that question,” he replied, with an image of Star Trek promotional material with current and classic characters, minus Captain Kirk.
Seriously, Paramount has a problem with having William Shatner in their promotions?William “Freaking” Shatner?
Perhaps it was an honest oversight leaving James Tiberius Kirk out of these ads? I doubt it.
Woke madness is tyrannical in nature , therefore a legendary icon like the heroic, swashbuckling and very masculine Kirk is a threat to “modern” sensibilities. After all wokeism, abhors traditional masculinity.
Traditional masculinity instills in men a hatred of bullies, no matter the nomenclature it hides itself under . Wokeism must constantly attack or censor masculinity as racist, sexist, or homophobic to prevent any man from gaining inspiration from it.
This includes the mission of erasing classic heroes of yesteryear from today’s pop culture consciousness. Shatner added “It’s not the first time it’s been going on for years. It makes no difference to me that a group who think they are ‘enlightened’ (or whatever they think they are) obviously feels threatened by the Kirk character. It’s a character from a 1960’s TV show- get over it.”

Sorry , but every other captain in the franchise pales in comparison to the swagger and coolness of the intrepid Kirk. Fact: Without Shatner’s iconic portrayal of Captain Kirk the Star Trek franchise would not exist, and many fans agree.
Here’s how one X poster fixed the Paramount promotional ad:
Still, Shatner’s reaction to Paramount’s erasure campaign is …shall we say… Kirkian?
“It doesn’t bother me in the least. A bunch of self-righteous strangers thinking they are sending a message by erasing the past? Who is going to forget? It’s everywhere. It’s so indoctrinated that it will take many generations to be forgotten no matter what they do. Let it be.”
Is Paramount erasing Captain Kirk? The evidence seems to show the affirmative.
Could God ignore your prayers for others or the country? Could He even make it His mission to oppose your plans?
All it takes is pride to become God’s adversary. Why? God hates pride.
The type of pride we’re talking is not that of job well done or of others. No , the pride that separates us from our Heavenly Father is thinking too highly of ourselves above all others.
The danger for Christians is puffed-up thinking because of one’s position in Christ, or spiritual gifts they’ve been blessed with. This is represented in the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18:9-14 (New International Version):
To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’
13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Note the last verse: “For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” This means God will humble any believer who exalts himself and lift up the humble person who has a truthful view of himself.
Few churches teach that God could ignore your prayers and literally war with you because of pride. Just read James 4:6 (NIV):
“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
C.S. Lewis said of pride :
C.S. Lewis
“According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil is Pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites 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.”1
Why does pride lead “to ever other vice?” Pride says my needs come first and therefore elevates me above everyone, including people and God.
We are emulating the devil with haughty eyes and a proud heart (Proverbs 21:4-24). Instead of reflecting God’s light, the devil darkens us. This is the reason “pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16-18).
The opposite of pride is humility, and we must humble ourselves, as Jesus did, to be children of God. This means becoming a servant to others instead of expecting others to serve you. In other words, placing the needs of others above your own. Isn’t that what Jesus did when He walked the earth?
Humility is confessing your sins and repenting to the LORD, asking God every day to make you more like Jesus , and asking God to answer prayer according to His will. When we humble ourselves in this manner, we can have confidence God hears our prayers for family, friends, country, enemies and ourselves.
Seek humility as if your life depends on it, because it does. Do not conform yourself any longer to this world with exalts pride as virtue. God promises to lift us up in due time when we come to Him with brokenness. He offers only resistance to those arrogant in their own eyes.
1 C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity (San Francisco: HarperSanFrancisco, 2001) 121-122
The studio, started by Walt Disney, celebrated its 100th Anniversary in 2023, and what did it give the public in gratitude? That’s right, flops.
Why were these movies all box office duds? I dunno, maybe it was because of race-swapped classic characters, girl bosses and other woke propaganda?
Ant-Man:Quantamania… FLOP. Disney’s The Little Mermaid (Live action remake)… FLOP. Wish … FLOP. Peter Pan and Wendy…FLOP. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny… FLOP. TheMarvels…huge FLOP.
The only movie that did well was Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3, but even it made less at the box office than the first two films in the trilogy. Why was GOTG 3 a success? No woke politics in the film, just a good story featuring characters the movie-going public enjoy; no more, no less.
You would think after the box office disaster that was 2023 , Disney would rethink its obsession with woke storylines in their movies. After all, the studio lost billions.
Instead, Disney seems intent on doubling down. Case in point, the recent announcement of a new Star Wars movie , continuing the adventures of Rey Skywalker. Maybe Disney is unaware of fans who checked-out in droves after the last trilogy which featured the divisive The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. Oh well, perhaps Disney thinks this latest offering will bring back the fans since it will be directed by a woman… of color.
Yeah, that’ll do it.
Seriously, is Disney really this stupid?
Let me posit a theory that’s been cooking in the back of my mind for the past year or two: what if this Disney implosion is planned?
Consider that Disney has ruined two of the most successful intellectual properties (IPs) in cinema history: Star Wars and Marvel. What did these two franchises have in common? They both told stories featuring epic heroes and stakes.
Star Wars has entertained generations of fans since its premiere in 1977. Marvel Comics became a cultural phenomenon in 1961 with the debut of the Fantastic Four, by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. A year later, Lee and Steve Ditko created Spider-Man and the rest is history.
Remember when fans couldn’t wait for the latest Star Wars or Marvel release? Not anymore. Under the Disney rubric, both brands have been so thoroughly ruined they’ve become objects of scorn to their once devoted consumers.
Woke politics has destroyed both IPs. As President Donald Trump once famously said, “Everything woke turns to s**t.” The moviegoing public has spoken, loudly and consistently, its rejection of woke characters and plotlines; leading to billions in losses for Disney.
Once upon a time, America revered Disney Studios . They created timeless classics still enjoyed by the public decades later, such as: Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Pinocchio, Bambi, Dumbo, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, Mary Poppins, and the Jungle Book. Disney films were once the gold standard of entertainment, offering viewers escapism through stories of love, tragedy, perseverance, adventure, heroism and whimsy. Now, the public is losing trust in the Disney brand.
Disney sucks and it’s across the board.
Again, I have to ask, is this intentional? For decades, Disney was a symbol of Americana, right up there with baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and the American flag. Americana is aspects of shared culture that makes, or made America unique in the world. The word Americana evokes commonality and nostalgia for times gone by.
We no longer celebrate what once was, because Marxist/communist radical elements in our education, government and entertainment have tied our past to nothing but racism, sexism, discrimination and homophobia. Subversives have conditioned at least two generations of young people to despise our past and everything about America.
America used to be symbolized by rugged individualism, strength and innovation. Now our symbols are frailty, weakness and incompetence as manifested in the person of our current president. Our rule of law has been turned against the people , our educational system is failing minorities and propagandizing young -adults.
The so-called experts have muddied the waters so much there are no heroic symbols of American masculinity or femininity. Pop culture tells us the only heroes we’re told to worship are those who represent diversity, inclusion and equity (DIE). They call it DEI, I call it DIE
Based on this destruction of American culture and ideals, is it out of the realm of possibility the enemies of our nation and the world have made it their goal to destroy Disney in the hearts of the American public? Chris Gore and Alan Ng of Film Threat report at Disney it’s all about woke activism rather than talent.
So again, what’s with Disney? Once the gold standard for animation and family entertainment, now it’s bloated, devoid of original ideas and apparently tone deaf to what the public wants. It’s really a shame and I sincerely hope they wake up from woke.
Pierre Poilievre is running to replace Justin Trudeau as Canadian Prime Minister and did this media interview two months ago. If you’ve seen it , great. If not , what you are about to see is a textbook study of how conservatives should handle the media.
First, note the apple , which Poilievre continues to eat during the interview. He looks calm and relaxed as he is enjoying the apple. Even his tone is casual.
Pay attention to his deft handling of the narrative- based questions he gets from the reporter. He doesn’t allow himself to participate in the gotcha game. Instead, Poilievre questions the interviewer, asking the interviewer what his questions mean.
Bravo!

I hope this guy wins big. I am married to a Canadian woman , so I have soft spot for our northern neighbors.
“RINO Season,” the latest from Joe Dan Gorman’s, Intellectual Froglegs has dropped. Check it out! In my humble opinion, this is one of his best episodes.
If you’ve never watched Intellectual Froglegs before, it interweaves, headlines, spot-on political commentary, humor, great music and Christian faith. All of this is done in quick cuts and longer segments. Throughout, Mr. Gorman’s information makes you laugh, encourages your love for God and America, and makes you think.
Highlights of this installment, include Joe Dan’s interview with Dr. Naomi Wolf, who discusses her red-pill moment, calling out the Republican National Committee (RNC) for continuing to support Chairman Ronna McDaniel ( aka, RINO Senator Mitt Romney’s niece. Nepotism? Nah!!), and reminding you of the stakes of the 2024 Presidential Election.
For New York Times readers, RINO means Republican In Name Only. Anyway, would love to read your thoughts about the show.
In Tucker Carlson’ s latest show, he and Bret Weinstein discuss the agenda of the World Health Organization (WHO). An important part of that plan is superseding the laws of sovereign nations under the premise of a health emergency.
We saw that play out during the Covid pandemic with WHO guidelines trumping Constitutional rights. Weinstein describes a West that is an echo of its former self because of acquiescence to the dark global agenda. However, he points out there is pushback from Eastern Bloc countries who know totalitarianism when they see it.
Weinstein describes “a powerful set of forces” embedded in the World Economic Forum (WEF) and within Western governments who are discussing ways to eliminate “our national and personal sovereignty.” While most of this excellent interview is troubling, Weinstein ends with a powerful glimmer of hope.
The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) agreed on Friday to take up the Colorado case to remove President Donald Trump off the ballot due to the 14th Amendment. The court’s decision will have lasting ramifications in future efforts by the Democrats to keep the 45th President off of other state ballots.
The Colorado Supreme Court ‘removed’ Trump from the ballot in December for ‘inciting’ the January 6 ‘insurrection’ under the 14th Amendment. Critics of the Colorado court say the ruling is nothing more than election interference since Trump was never convicted for insurrection. More on that later.
Here is what insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment explicitly states:
Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
As you can see from the language, the 14th Amendment applies to congresspersons, officers of the United States government, state assemblypersons, governors or judges. Nowhere is the President mentioned. Legal scholars say the 14th Amendment does not apply to the President because he is not an officer of the government and, in this case, was never found guilty of insurrection for the January 6 protest /riot.
If Trump was never found liable for inciting insurrection, then the legal basis from removing him from the ballot is questionable. You can’t penalize someone for an accusation without a conviction as Colorado, and later, Maine did. That makes a mockery of the law.
Arguments to SCOTUS will start on February 8 with a ruling following. Trump remains on both ballots pending litigation, in the meantime.
Please note the Colorado ruling was without teeth, playing both sides by allowing Trump back on the ballot as soon as he appealed to the Supreme Court. See this brilliant analysis by Sundance at the Conservative Treehouse.
Presidential CandidateVivek Ramaswamy parries the media like a master in every appearance. His latest interview with NBC’s Dasha Burns is a textbook study in handling the adversarial press.
You’ll see in the interview that Ramaswamy refuses to answer questions to advance the media narrative. He instead pushes back against the narrative to the point of flustering the interviewer with his own interrogation. LOL!

President Trump has released a long-awaited report of widespread voter in key swing states. You may not have heard about this because of the release of the Jeffrey Epstein legal documents dumped at the same time. I’m sure the timing of the salacious Epstein release was probably a coincidence (insert eye roll here).
Here are some excerpts from the eye-opening report:
GEORGIA
• Georgia was called by 11,779 votes. • Fulton County, Georgia, the most populous county in the state, has no digital record of all in person votes cast in its original results.
• Not a single ballot purportedly cast during early in-person voting was witnessed to and signed off by poll managers, as required by Georgia election rules. Seals were broken and memory cards removed from tabulators for the results of these 315,000 votes, which were printed out on different machines than the ones that tabulated them. This prevented the reconciliation of how many votes were cast on each machine.
• The ballot images of these votes, along with the rest of in-person ballots cast on Election Day, were destroyed.
• The vote in Georgia was counted three times: the original machine count, a statewide hand recount, and a second machine count. Each time the state, and Fulton County, reported three different results.
• Fulton County did not count the same ballots during the original count and the machine recount. There are 19,541 distinct ballots that appear in one machine count but not the other. • Thousands of fraudulent “presidential only” ballots were injected into the second machine count, with huge margins favoring Joe Biden. Ballots that are blank except for the presidential contest were counted in batches together, with the pattern appearing in at least eight counties, including Fulton. This means Georgia did not have the votes to justify its original Election “results.”
WISCONSIN
• Wisconsin was called by 20,682 votes.
• The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled drop boxes are illegal under Wisconsin law, in a 4-3 decision issued in July 2022.
• Wisconsin Election Commissioner Meagan Wolfe unilaterally declared ballot drop boxes could be used to vote in 2020 elections, even though “WEC’s commissioners never voted to adopt this memo.”
• Ahead of the November 2020 Election, Wolfe encouraged clerks to use “creative solutions” to deploy drop boxes, that she said could be “unstaffed.” There were 528 drop boxes used in the General Election, and a total of 1,969,274 absentee votes cast, including 1,346,731 votes cast by mail, and 653,236 in-person.
• In a concurring opinion to the ruling finding drop boxes to be unlawful, Justice Rebecca Bradley writes, “If the right to vote is to have any meaning at all, elections must be conducted according to law. Throughout history, tyrants have claimed electoral victory via elections conducted in violation of governing law… in Wisconsin elected officials “deriv[e] their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
• “The right to vote presupposes the rule of law governs elections. If elections are conducted outside of the law, the people have not conferred their consent on the government. Such elections are unlawful and their results are illegitimate.”
• Justice Bradley concluded “thousands of votes have been cast via this unlawful method,” using drop boxes, “thereby directly harming the Wisconsin voters.”
• “The illegality of these drop boxes weakens the people’s faith that the election produced an outcome reflective of their will,” Justice Bradley writes. “The Wisconsin voters, and all lawful voters, are injured when the institution charged with administering Wisconsin elections does not follow the law, leaving the results in question…Electoral outcomes obtained by unlawful procedures corrupt the institution of voting, degrading the very foundation of free government. Unlawful votes do not dilute lawful votes so much as they pollute them, which in turn pollutes the integrity of the results.”
PENNSYLVANIA
• Pennsylvania was called by 80,555 votes.
• Months after the election, there were 121,240 more votes than voters, according to the Pennsylvania Department of State. By law, Pennsylvania cannot certify an election with this type of discrepancy.
• Republican lawmakers, led by State Representative Frank Ryan, were tracking the vote discrepancy in real time in the Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE) system. Ryan, a certified public accountant, initially reported that there were 170,830 more votes than voters in the Presidential race, more than twice the margin in Pennsylvania. “These numbers just don’t add up, and the alleged certification of Pennsylvania’s presidential election results was absolutely premature, unconfirmed, and in error,” the lawmakers said.
• The Pennsylvania Department of State’s office called this “obvious misinformation,” while admitting the “only way to determine the number of voters who voted in November from the SURE system is through the vote histories,” which they said Philadelphia, Allegheny, and other counties had still not completed — an admission the election was certified without ensuring the number of voters and votes matched in the SURE system. The election was certified on Nov. 24, 2020, and the Department of State’s statement came on Dec. 29, 2020.
• The SURE system was checked and downloaded weekly with updated voter histories from the general Election until all the counties uploaded their vote histories, which was not completed until February 2021. At this time there were still over 121,000 votes that did not have a corresponding voter in the SURE system.
• The statement by the Department of State “that the voting would reconcile, once the counties completed their SURE uploads, was incorrect,” according to Verity Vote. “When the final county finished uploading their voter histories and closed the election in SURE, it was February 1, 2021, which was the same day that [Secretary of State Kathy] Boockvar announced her resignation. At the time that Philadelphia closed the election in SURE, the voter histories showed that the county accepted at least 7,944 ballots that could not be associated with a registered voter.”
ARIZONA
• Arizona was called by a margin of 10,457 votes. • Maricopa County accepted 20,500 mail-in ballots after Election Day 2020, including 18,000 – more than the entire election margin – on Nov. 4 picked up from the U.S. Postal Service. By law, ballots must be received no later than 7 p.m. on Election Day, which was Nov. 3.
• “The 20,000 ballots recorded as incoming from the USPS on and after November 4 were of sufficient quantity to change the result of the 2020 General Election in Arizona,” according to Verity Vote.
• The findings were based on Maricopa County’s official Elections Department records, which were withheld from a public records request for nearly seven months. The records showed 18,000 mail-in ballots received on Nov. 4; 1,000 received on Nov. 5; and 1,500 received on Nov. 6.
• The 18,000 mail-in ballots received on Nov. 4 and subsequently counted represented a significant spike in ballots received, higher than every single day total since Oct. 29, 2020. The receipt of mail-in ballots had steadily declined from 14,500 ballots on Oct. 29 to 10,500 on Oct. 30; 6,000 on Oct. 31; 1,500 on Nov. 1; 1,000 on Nov. 2; and 2,500 on Nov. 3.
• In the 2020 General Election, 420,987 ballots failed signature verification standards, “thus the election was openly vulnerable to fraud,” according to an ongoing analysis conducted by We the People Arizona Alliance and presented to the state legislature.
MICHIGAN
• Michigan was called by 154,188 votes.
• A record 5,579,317 votes were cast and certified in Michigan in the 2020 General Election, the highest turnout in 60 years. To date, Michigan has never shown 5,579,317 voters listed for the 2020 Election in its Qualified Voter File, the state’s database for all voter registration records.
• As of December 2023, Michigan has 271,566 more votes than the number of voters listed in its Qualified Voter File for Nov. 3, 2020, more than one and a half times the Election margin.
• In data obtained from the Secretary of State’s office on nearly a monthly basis since the Election, the most voters ever recorded in the Qualified Voter File was 5,511,303 voters in April 2021. This means Michigan’s own election records showed 68,014 more votes than voters. However, the number of voters listed in the Qualified Voter File has been in flux ever since December 2020, and always short of the voters needed to reconcile the total votes cast. A complete list of voters from 2020 has never been provided.
• The number of voter IDs listed as voting in 2020 has steadily declined since February 2022. As of December 2023, there was a total of 5,307,751 voters listed as voting on Nov. 3, 2020 in the Qualified Voter File. Voter history files continue to be removed from the record, resulting in 271,566 less vote history records than necessary to reconcile the results.
There’s no doubt the simultaneous release of the Epstein documents was timed to minimize Trump’s bombshell summary. This tells us more Americans are believing the 2020 election was stolen and the perpetrators know it.
Is Nikki Haley a Trojan Horse for the UniParty, globalists and the Deep State? Tucker Carlson makes the case and Vivek Ramaswamy concurs.
Remember Haley, a so-called conservative, called for the removal of the Confederate Flag as Governor of South Carolina, has no problem outing anonymous social media accounts, recently left out slavery as one of the causes for the Civil War, and is an outright warmonger.
Any calls for her to be Trump’s running mate must be shouted down…loudly.
Ever wonder what America would look like without God? I believe we’re getting a glimpse of America without God. I say glimpse, because I do not believe He has abandoned America…yet.
However, I do believe He is allowing His people, and even those who have ignored Him, to see just how on the brink of darkness America is, spiritually and morally.
The level of evil brought into the light in America and Western Civilization during this time is depressing. Every hour, every day, no matter where you turn, wave after wave of outrage, disgust, horror and blasphemy assaults our minds and psyches. Never has there been anything like this in the history of the United States.
Practically every institution that provided guardrails for our society has been corrupted such as marriage, religion, the family, traditional masculinity and femininity, law, history, the military and education. Issues that in the past we never dreamed to question, such as the biological sexes, are now burning controversies.
We’re talking unrelenting spiritual and psychological warfare, folks. It’s turned up to eleven and this is just a glimpse of America without God.
Who is waging this war and most importantly, why?
But before we address who, let’s discuss why.
Courtesy: Fox News
The why is obvious. Taking America, –the symbol and freedom and liberty for the world—and destroying it from within to absorb into the one-world government plans of our adversaries, is priority number one.
Think about the world-shattering repercussions of America falling: no more national sovereignty, no more Constitution or Declaration of Independence, no more private property or freedom of travel. Imagine our governance replaced by a centralized world government unaccountable to the people.
Who are those wannabe overlords? They’re the Marxist/communists who not only make up the globalists, but have infiltrated federal, state and local governments, and bureaucracies. Our enemies are also the traitorous politicians and bureaucrats who have sold out America for their proverbial thirty pieces of silver.
I choose to categorize these subversives and traitors under one description: the Godless.
The ‘g’ is capitalized in Godless because these nefarious schemers reject the Holy God revealed to us in the Bible. However, this does not mean they are godless (note the lowercase ‘g’).
Since they do not worship GOD, by default, they are worshipping the god of this fallen world: the one who only comes to steal, kill and destroy. This god is better known as the fallen angel, Satan.
We know this by their rotten fruits of lawlessness, division, lies, fear-mongering, hatred, violence, rage, slander, and death. We see these fruits manifested in a wide-open southern border, cashless bail, a two-tiered justice system, the transgender movement, homosexual marriage, drag queen story hours, ‘swatting’ political enemies, the propaganda news media, election fraud, the demonization of fossil fuels, hatred of Christianity, and contempt for the family.
The left cannot create anything beautiful or life-affirming that stands the test of time. Instead, like their god, they counterfeit anything what was long ago established by the Creator. All the Godless can sow is ugliness and destruction.
Every Godless policy they create is based in sin and darkness. What results from this is a weakening of the law and truth.
I know of no other way to put this, other than the Godless hate absolute truth. All they love are lies. What’s worse, they believe if such deceits are spoken enough, people will accept them as truth. Big lie, anyone?
Unfortunately, their canards wither under scrutiny, therefore they must lash out with ferocity against anyone who disagrees with them. The Godless demonize these ‘transgressors’ as bigots, sexists, racists, homophobes, kooks, and conspiracy theorists.
Such tags used to work, because being labeled as such meant you were part of the tinfoil hat crowd or a hate-monger, worthy of shunning. The problem for the Godless is they’ve used those epithets ad nauseum, ironically changing people’s perceptions. Now those slurs to us, ‘the great unwashed’, mean the targeted individual is a truth-teller.
As for the law, the Godless believe their causes such as saving the planet, playing God through abortion, or giving cachet to the multiple gender madness, bestows upon them, virtue. You see, they have a higher calling, therefore, ‘antiquated’ laws are beneath them.
What they have done, instead, is turn the law into a weapon against God-fearing/law-abiding citizens. For example, cashless bail and constantly raising the bar of what constitutes arrestable offenses does nothing to safeguard the people; such actions only aid criminals. Instead of protecting the community from the wolves, the people are gradually thrown to the wolves.
If only politics were the problem, rectifying it would only take voting the bums out. Sadly, what’s happening to America is spiritual. This is spiritual warfare, and it’s evident to anyone paying attention.
Picture what’s happening to American culture as a siege: not a physical encirclement, but a spiritual one. A siege is an operation where an area or fortress is surrounded. Supplies and power are cut off to force the inhabitants to eventually surrender. In this case our spirit, minds, and even our birthright as Americans are the citadels besieged by the Godless.
So what do we do ?
First, you need to be in daily prayer to God. Whether you pray in the morning, evening or all through the day, it is vitally important to spend time with our Heavenly Father. Thank Him for His provision and protection. Praise Him for all He has done for you.
Pray for our enemies they would know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and the Holy Spirit opening their eyes to their transgressions. Pray for revival as a new Great Awakening. Remember to always ask everything according to God’s will, not your own.
Next, read your Bible. Stop using it as a paperweight. Study the Word and get to know the ways of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Don’t just know of Jesus, know Jesus. Only He can set you free from the bondage of sin and fear during these times of intense spiritual warfare.
If you’re unfamiliar with spiritual warfare, the Bible teaches you what it is and how to fight. We are to submit to God and stand against enemy. When we submit to God, we resist the devil and he flees from us (James 4:7).
God communicates to us through His Word. Consistent fellowship with the Lord, melts away fear because “no weapon fashioned against [us ] shall succeed (Isaiah 54:17)”. In fact, in Christ we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37).
Finally, share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Ask God for for opportunities to share your testimony. Remember, our Great Commission to share the gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth transcends anything going on in America or the West.
If more people knew Jesus, they would know truth. And what does the Bible say about truth? The truth will set you free (John 8:32).
Conversely, without God, you are in bondage to Satan and his dark forces. This not only applies to individuals, but to countries, like America, as well.
A Christmas message from President Trump sums up the true meaning of the season and encourages Americans to keep up their hope heading into 2024 and the upcoming Presidential Election.
Short, truthful and to the point is this message: vintage Trump, in other words.
Jesus Christ Is the source of Christmas and it’s wonderful how Trump acknowledges Him as Lord and Savior. Prayers for this man and his family, and prayers for America.
Merry Christmas, and may the holiday be especially joyous for you and yours.
Are the richest people in the world vying for centralized control through a Great Reset? Are they literally trying to take over the world?
The question sounds like a plot from a James Bond movie and seems outlandish on its surface. Yet, doesn’t it make you wonder?
Years ago, even thinking such thoughts would make many people distance themselves from you as a crackpot. But are the people sounding the alarm about the globalist efforts to subvert our rule of law and our culture, nuts or are they onto something?
We’re told the globalists have penetrated most Western governments, journalism, media, law, banking, and academia. Through these implanted assets, they manipulate morals, race, economics and even gender to divide Western Civilization.
It’s certainly unsettling if this is true. But then the question becomes, why?
Why would this wealthy and insular group of globalist businessmen want to dictate to people how they should live their lives, from driving habits, food consumption, and raising their children?
Is telling us we “will own nothing and be happy” and encouraging us to eat bugs instead of meat, some weird form of altruism? Maybe they want to help mankind? At least , that’s what they say.
If so, why do elitist solutions for Western Civilization reek of authoritarianism?
Organizations, like theWorld Economic Forum (WEF), have predicted dire prophesies of food shortages and disasters due to overpopulation and climate change. With that said, maybe there’s another catalyst to their control policies?
What if fear is the motivation? After all, control is a reaction to fear.
If it’s fear, what are they afraid of? Could it be losing their assets, their way of life, or power? Again, not out of the realm of possibility.
But what if possibly they’re afraid of dying?
I know, pretty existential stuff.
If they fear death, could it be because of godliness? I’ve never heard God mentioned in any of their conferences or speeches. So it’s safe to assume that most of these individuals are atheists , satanists or pagans.
If this is the case ,why is this important?
Without a fear of a Holy God,anyone, whether they are poor, middle-class ,or wealthy , fears death. They want to hold on to this life with all their strengh. When you fear death, you also fear the future.
Life becomes an obsession of controlling that future, from diet, to exercise, etc. This, in an effort to stave off dying.
Apparently, extreme wealth and luxury seems only to increase this fear, to the point of obsession. Without God, one believes life on earth is it for them. Without God there’s no belief in heaven or hell or an afterlife.
When you hear this, doesn’t it click shoring up all the world’s resources to prolong their wealth and most importantly, their lives, is priority number one?
How are they doing this?
Buying farmland? Yes. Buying entire neighborhoods? Affirmative. Originating policies to reduce nitrogen emissions in certain countries through closing farms and a thirty percent reduction of livestock by 2030? You betcha.
The years 2030 -2035 have significance according to published reports. The WEF has declared gas- powered cars and natural gas stoves will be history, replaced by their electric counterparts. And some American governors have stated publicly they’re all on board.
Do you realize, as of the writing of this piece, we are just over six years away from 2030? Think about that.
Are we witnessing hubris playing out ? If so, this will not end well for these self-proclaimed saviors.
Throughout history, God seems to have wired in natural law hubris leads to destruction. Just read Proverbs 16:18:
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Never in history has anyone trying to take over the world been successful. This has been demonstrated from rulers ranging from Alexander the Great to Julius Caesar to Napoleon, and Adolf Hitler.
I highly recommend watching this interview with Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones for a full breakdown of the globalists plans for America and Western Civilization. Watch and draw your own conclusions.
When you finish the video you may find your answer is either changed or confirmed whether global elites are trying to take over the world. I am interested in your comments.
Big cities, once shining pillars of American brilliance, economic prowess, progress, competition and innovation. Now, symbols of decline.
Courtesy: BBC
Look at what’s happening to such storied cities like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco , Chicago , Portland and Minneapolis. Everywhere you look , it’s carjackings, shootings, and shoplifting, punctuated by homelessness.
Under Democrat rule, cops’ hands are tied by city officials by raising the bar of crimes they can respond or arrest. Consequently these cities are becoming badges of lawlessness and symbols of decline.
Have you ever wondered why our once shining big cities have become symbols of decline? Perhaps the problems are too insurmountable? Maybe it’s good old-fashioned incompetence on the part of city and state officials? Or is it something else? Could it be these “leaders” are just following orders?
Before you dismiss me a crackpot conspiracy theorist, ask yourself,
“Is it a coincidence that all of these areas have liberal mayors and governors who are all in for wokeness, the climate change agenda and the World Economic Forum?” How many times have you heard these leaders talking about such goals as 15- minute cities or becoming carbon neutral (translation eliminating gas powered motor vehicles and stoves in favor of electric) by 2030?
All these leftist executives seem perfectly comfortable turning a deaf ear to regular people who complain about rising crime and homelessness. But as demonstrated by California Governor Gavin Newsom, all of a sudden the homeless problem isn’t so insurmountable when a Communist dictator like Xi Jinpeng comes to town.
Newsom made sure to spare Xi the visuals of homeless people shooting up drugs and defecating in the streets of San Francisco. Reporters called the governor on his hypocrisy for stepping up cleanup efforts for visiting leaders , but not for law-abiding and taxpaying San Franciscans.
How did Newsom reply? He admitted it.
Courtesy: Newsweek
Don’t you love the smug grins of the sycophants behind Newsom. They can’t believe he’s admitting to blatant sanctimony and getting away with it.
Anyway, I keep asking myself why this deterioration of these large cities? Why are the worst cities run by Democrats?
It can’t be a coincidence.
I’ve thought about it and have come to this conclusion: The deterioration of these major cities is to break our spirits and our faith in the American system. Let me explain
The left’s goal is to create the impression in our collective minds the American Dream has become a dystopian nightmare. This, so that we will abandon it for the supposedly more equitable and just system of global rule.
It’s all part of the globalists’ dream to destroy Western Civilization: The bastion of Christian faith, freedom, liberty, innovation and prosperity. The United States is the final battlefield because much of Europe and Canada have been absorbed into the globalist hive.
However,there’s a big problem. America is a sticky situation compared to the aforementioned countries. You see, we got this two pesky documents known as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
The Declaration tells us we have inalienable rights–which mean given by God– of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Constitution codifies those protections in the first Ten Amendments, otherwise known as the Bill of Rights.
The First Amendment freedoms of speech, religion,and the right to free assembly and the Second Amendment right to bear arms have protected us from full blown globalist domination. Because of this, informed Americans are able to push back.
With freedom of speech, we are able to expose lies and propaganda through alternative and social media, despite censorship in mainstream outlets. As for the Second Amendment, millions of armed Americans are a deterrent for full-blown tyranny within and any invading force from without.
Given these realities, the left has to resort to psy-ops to demoralize and discourage us, hence the purposeful degradation of major cities. You following me?

Here’s how it works. The constant desolation of cities , via drive-by shootings, assaults , carjackings, and homelessness is mentioned in the news and even among friends , coworkers, etc. Even though you’re safe where you are, because you constantly hear and see this mantra, you begin to grow anxious, fearful and despairing.
When you are anxious, fearful and despairing, then confidence, joy and peace become fleeting. Your worldview becomes tainted and negativity sets in.
Negativity then opens the door to demoralization, which leads to apathy, which leads to passivity , which leads to hopelessness, which leads to “Why even bother?
Drive through certain areas of LosAngeles and the blocks of tents makes one wonder, “Is America becoming a third-world nation? That’s exactly the reaction leftists want from you. They want you believing the country is falling apart.

But is your area sliding into decline or is still a nice place to live? The temptation is to watch the hoisted symbol in front of you .

Remember when God sent poisonous snakes to punish the Israelites for their grumbling and lack of faith? Moses fashioned a bronze serpent and placed it on a pole, per God’s orders, so the Israelites could look at it and be healed from the bites of the poisonous snakes (Numbers 21:5-7). In the same way we are to look at Jesus on the cross, in faith, for deliverance (John 3:14).
What’s happening now is,through television and the internet ,you are viewing symbols of decline which inspire ugliness, hopelessness and death. Remember, leftists/globalists are gonna gaslight.
Truth is what you see around you , not what the media presents to you. Yes, what you are watching is reality in major cities, but what is the reality of where you are?
Understand that nothing is happening in these symbols of decline without a reason. Begin to look at these news reports about failing cites with discernment. Remember , knowledge is power.
“Are you a God-fearing man?” That’s a question a close Christian brother of mine sometimes asks before witnessing to other men.
When he shared this with me I was immediately struck by the term. It’s old-fashioned , masculine and at the the same time, humble. I thought to myself, I have to write a column about the question, “Are you a God-fearing man?”
So here you go.
First of all, what is a God-fearing man? The obvious answer is in the term, a man who fears God. Makes sense, right?
But digging deeper, we find that “fearing” God is more complex than just living life afraid of God. First, let’s look at what Proverbs says about fear:
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.–Proverbs 9:10
The fear referred to in Proverbs is reverence of the Lord. Before one can gain true wisdom, he must revere the Lord as Creator, Heavenly Father and Provider. To not hold God in awe is foolishness.
However, Jesus speaks of fear in a different context when detailing why we should not fear man, but only the Lord.
“Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”–Matthew 10:27-28
Jesus is, of course, speaking of God as the one who “is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Yet, in the next verse, Jesus speaks of God’s love for us:
“Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”
So God can banish you to hell , yet love you so much that all the hairs of your head are numbered? The best picture I can think of to describe this is a Godly earthly father: He loves you , yet sometimes has to discipline you.
If that fails to take hold, fathers sometimes have to make the tough decision to let you experience the consequences of disobedience. Sometimes the cost of this is devastating and life-changing.
While not perfect, I hope the previous analogy paints a picture of God allowing people the consequence of hell for a life of unrepentant sin.
Like a loving father constantly warning his children of the dangers of disobedience, so God sends warnings to the world. First the prophets, then Jesus, then the apostles and now Christians. This, so no one has an excuse of not hearing the gospel.
Af the forefront of this evangelism are God-fearing men, answering the Father’s call of using our talents to share the good news of Jesus Christ. God sent His Son to die for our sins so we could be saved from eternal punishment. All we have to do is repent from sin and place our eyes on Jesus as Lord and Savior.
“Uh …hold on,” says the secularist.
“God-fearing men? Oh great, they’ll push their religion onto everyone. What are we talking now, a theocracy for America?”
Here’s a news flash. WE are living smack dab in a religious theocracy!
The problem is it’s a secular-leftist, pseudo- religious theocracy. I’ll prove it.
The sacrament for this secular-leftist theocracy is abortion. Nothing else explains the feverous zeal to protect a women’s right to kill her baby. I’m convinced that abortion is ritualized sacrifice designed to appease the secular-left’s god. Here’s a hint, their god is not the God of the Bible and certainly not the Creator of the heavens and earth.
Everything about this pseudo-religion is a counterfeit of God’s creation. Marriage between a man and a woman? We’ll allow same -sex marriage . The family? Government will tell you how to raise your children. Men as head and protector of the family? Government will take that role for single-parent families. Truth? Truth is whatever the secular-leftist narrative needs it to be.
Want to have a trouble free life? Shut your mouth, pretend not to know things and go along with everything like it’s normal. Want to be diminished, ridiculed , and cancelled? Stand for outdated concepts such as Christianity, the Bible , the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Those are your choices under the Secular-leftist religion: Living under the fear of the state, or choosing to live according to the fear of the Lord. The God-fearing man chooses the latter and rejects the former .
The God-fearing man takes seriously the biblical warning of friendship with the world making one an enemy of God (James 4:4). He believes Jesus’ promise of hatred from the world since the world hated Him first( John 15:18). But the God-fearing man also has faith and believes that in persecution comes blessing and reward in heaven (Matt. 5:10-12).
So if God exacts death for our sin, isn’t that it? If we’re dead, what difference does it make?
The problem is you don’t actually “die.” Everyone of us when our physical bodies die, will receive an eternal body. That is, a body built for eternity.
Got it?
Now here’s the deliniation.
Those who accepted Christ as Lord and Savior will have bodies equipped for eternity living under God’s presence in heaven. Now here’s the bad news:Those who rejected the gift of grace through His death and resurrection, will have bodies equipped for wrath. The “death” is total separation from God.
Jesus spoke of hell more than anyone else in the Bible, describing it as outer darkness, fire, torment and full of weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Sin, any sin, is a capital offense per God’s law. He is holy therefore, He cannot, and will not tolerate sin.
Most pastors leave hell out of their sermons, so as not to offend or scare parishioners. This is preaching the “modern” gospel which ignores the truth that the consequence of a choice of unrepentant sin is eternal punishment in hell.
Focus on that description , eternal. That means not one hundred , a thousand or ever a million years living under God’s wrath, but forever.
Fearing God means living a life with the knowledge that everyone is accountable to God. This fear is also accepting that everyone, every man, woman and child has fallen short of the glory of God, due to sin.
God-fearing men (and women) only become as such, because they understand the eternal consequences of rejecting Jesus. The Christ is our only salvation from hell.
The God- fearing man knows we are literally enemies of Jehovah without Jesus as Lord. This is frightening and ,at the same time, humbling when you understand only God’s grace saves us.
God sent His only Son as the perfect sacrifice for our sin. Jesus willingly faced God’s wrath and eventual death to save us. His resurrection provided the gift freely offered to us.
We live in a world where leaders are God-mockers instead of God-fearing. They are weak, vindictive, deceitful, hateful , spineless, fearful ,dishonorable and arrogant with no moral foundation. Their schemes are anti-God, anti-life and idolatrous.
Can you see why we need God-fearing men in leadership? Only men who understand their accountability to God should be trusted with power.
What say you Christian? Are you a God-fearing man?
Guess who are the most hated and vilified people in America are right now?
Blacks? Nope. Why would a discriminated group be in seemingly every tv commercial?
Hispanics? No way.
Gays /drag queens? You kidding? They use their so-called victim status to bully corporations and politicians.
Middle Eastern immigrants? Name the last time you heard a hate crime or discrimination against this group.
Jews? Good guess, especially in the light of the recent Hamas attack in Gaza and IDF retaliation, but not quite.
I’ll give you another hint.

This demographic has suffered mass shootings in schools and houses of worship, is constantly demonized for every historical injustice and ridiculed as weak-minded. Who is this group of people?
Just look in the mirror. It’s you, the God-fearing, patriotic American.
You, who love God, worship Jesus, attend church, work hard, raise your family, pay your taxes, give thanks for America, revere the Constitution, salute the flag, obey the law, respect the military, do your civic duty and volunteer your time, are despised by the Democrat Party, LGBTQ, Hollywood, academia, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, the World Economic Forum and by Republicans in Name Only (RINOS).
All these groups have one thing in common: they hate your values and therefore have made it their mission to force you to reject those values. Everywhere, you go your beliefs and character are under attack, from President Biden calling those who support Making America Great Again (MAGA), domestic terrorists, to woke and anti-Christian propaganda in tv and movies.
How dare you believe the Bible as truth? How dare you believe there are only two genders? How dare you respect those old, white, slave-holding racists otherwise known as the Founding Fathers? How dare you question the destruction of statues of historic military leaders? And most all, you have the unmitigated gall to push back against any liberal or Uniparty government narrative.
Despite the unified vitriol, God still takes care of you doesn’t He? Look around, despite the media stories of doom and gloom you got a roof over your head, food to eat and safety. Heck, you still have freedoms that are anathema in oppressive regimes.
Because of God’s blessings, you are the reason America is still standing. Yes, she is weakened right now, both internally and on the world stage, but she is not out. It’s because of your patriotism which, ironically, comes from a love of God, family, and country.
Never forget that God is on your side. Don’t give in to compromise with our tormenters so that they will like you.
They know we have authority in God, hence the daily psyops to convince us otherwise. The truth is as long as we seek God and make it our goal to glorify Him through the Son, Jesus, nothing they throw at us can defeat us in this life and the next.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,”—Isaiah 54:17(New King James Version)
If your enemies hate you because of your Christian faith and values, take it as a badge of honor and rejoice in Christ for the condemnation.
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.—James 1:2-4 (NKJV)
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.—Romans 5:1-5(NKJV)
Our faith is in the Lord. Because of Jesus, we are at peace with God and not HIS enemies. As a result, we rejoice in the hope of God’s glory. When we are under God’s will and authority, it doesn’t matter who hates us. Whatever tribulation we suffer, God will use it to produce steadfastness, fortitude, and earnest trust in Him.
So let our enemies continue to hate and vilify us because of our faith in God. We know from where our blessings come.
Quite a bad week for Covid shots. The highlight? NY Jets QB Aaron Rogers’ shot (pun intended) at KC TE Travis Kelce during a recent interview on the Pat McAffee Show. Watch:
Rogers, out for the season with an ankle injury, referred to the below ad by Kelce. In the ad, Kelce encourages people to combine their Covid and Flu shots as a convenient time-saving measure. Watch:
For the sports challenged, that Kelce dude is the guy dating music superstar Taylor Swift.

Anyway…
Amid the Rogers’ interview, breaking news that combining the Covid and Flu shots can lead to increased stroke risk to the elderly. From Yahoo News:
“Vaccines for Covid-19 and influenza may slightly increase the risk of strokes caused by blood clots in the brains of seniors, particularly when the two vaccines are given at the same time and when they are given to adults who are age 85 and older, according to a new study.
The safety signal was detected by experts at the US Food and Drug Administration who analyzed data from Medicare claims.
It is the second study to find an elevated risk of stroke for seniors after Covid-19 and flu vaccinations given together. The US Centers for Disease Control and FDA issued a public communication in January explaining that one of their near real-time vaccine safety monitoring studies—called the Vaccine Safety Datalink–had picked up a small and uncertain risk of stroke for older adults who received a dose of Pfizer’s bivalent Covid-19 vaccine and a high-dose or adjuvanted flu shot on the same day. That study triggered the FDA’s broader look at strokes after vaccination noted in the medical records of seniors on Medicare.”
But no need to worry according to the Yahoo article:
“That said, the risk identified in the FDA’s study appears to be very small—roughly 3 strokes or transient ischemic attacks for every 100,000 doses given–and the study found it may be primarily driven by the high-dose or adjuvanted flu vaccines, which are specially designed to rev up the immune system so it mounts a stronger response to the shot.”
Darn those pesky high dose flu vaccines! I encourage you to read the entire article here, but exercise discernment. Yahoo is not exactly known for cutting -edge investigative reporting.
But the piéce de rèsistance for Covid vaccines was Canadian health officials announcing Simian Virus contamination in the Pfizer Covid vaccines.
“The DNA contamination includes the Simian Virus 40 (SV40) promoter and enhancer Pfizer did not previously disclose and that some experts say is a cancer risk due to potential integration with the human genome.
Health Canada, the country’s public health authority, told The Epoch Times that while Pfizer provided the full DNA sequences of the plasmid in its vaccine at the time of the initial submission, the vaccine maker “did not specifically identify the SV40 sequence.”
I encourage you to read the report in its entirety here.
These revelations could likely open the door to future lawsuits according to Dr. Byram Bridle. He writes in his substack ,which is must reading:
“… Pfizer has been granted legal indemnity for their shots; something which in and of itself should be a major concern. However, an important court ruling was recently made in Michigan, USA. Specifically, the court ruled that a pharmaceutical company’s legal indemnity was null and void for a contaminated version of the medical product. The product, but not any contaminants are subject to the legal indemnity. And failing to disclose a bioactive component would seem to go one step further. You can read an article about the legal issue here.
So, it would follow that Pfizer’s legal indemnity should be null and void for shots that contaminated with bacterial DNA that included a bioactive sequence that was not disclosed to regulatory agencies.”
Media reaction to these explosive findings has been a fizzle. But no matter. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports only three percent of Americans have gotten the new Covid shots.
It appears , despite the media’s efforts to the contrary, the public is issuing a a collective “Hell no!” to additional boosters. Yes, quite a bad week for Covid shots.
By all means, God-fearing Christians must engage in politics. However the Christian dilemma with partisan politics is making sure not to view morality through strictly a Democrat or Republican lens.
Godly morality is what it is. There is no nuance or compromise on right and wrong or good versus evil.
The temptation for Christians with partisan politics is rationalizing immorality under the guise of compassion and love. When this happens God’s word and church doctrine risk subversion.
Politics and politicians are seductive due to the power and change that can occur. Anyone, including Christians, can fall under the siren call of a popular politician or policy.
Keep in mind most politicians are secular men and women and many of them believe they are doing good. Without God, however, this virtue at its best only reflects the values and morals of a sinful world.
Abortion is called a fundamental woman’s right, but conflicts with the Sixth Commandment. Gay marriage violates God’s creation of marriage between one man and woman. Transgenderism makes mockery of God’s creation of the two sexes, man and woman(Genesis 5:2, Genesis 2:21-22).
These issues are in the forefront of the news and evoke much controversy and passion. They are also three examples of the cornerstone of Democrat policy.
It’s amazing that Democrat platforms either call for the destruction of societal norms or create division, as in the case of stirring up racial strife and woke politics.
What’s the Republican reaction to these policies? The average Christian conservative sees the harm and calls for the Republican Party to resist and overturn these harmful policies and the legislation associated with them.
The Republican leadership, however, doesn’t want to be bothered unless its for fundraising or re-election. Sure they talk a great game during their re-election campaigns , but once back in office they, for the most part, ignore the harm done to the country. Instead the Republican leadership focuses its contempt at conservative constituents , rather than the Democrats.
To say the political parties have changed in the last 60 years is an understatement. They’ve become a UniParty, protecting the party interests and united in their hatred for their constituents.
Really.
Both parties are are two sides of the same coin, with their respective roles to play. The Dems? They’ve become the de-facto determiner of morality in America. The Repubs? They’re controlled opposition.
What is controlled opposition? Republicans who pontificate conservative buzz words on camera, but provide little, if any, pushback against the leftist agenda.
However ,when the UniParty unites in participation in foreign wars,God-fearing Christians and conservatives must be especially wary. They must discern whether such calls are to truly protect the American people , a political distraction or a benefit for the military industrial complex .
Sad to say, but everyone must question politicians’ calls to protect Democracy in other countries while ignoring the dire state of affairs in the United States. We are a nation in decline precisely because of our past ignorance regarding the machinations of corrupt politicians and dangerous ideologies.
Have you been guilty in the past of wedding yourself to political passions over God’s perspectives? I confess falling for that seduction in the past. Hey, we’re all vulnerable.
Partisan politics becomes a dilemma for the Christian when he or she subordinates God to emotion and fickle cultural passions. Christians should participate in the political process, but must, through prayer and study, measure every policy against the Word of God . We must exercise, from now on, Godly discernment.
What impresses me the most about Tucker Carlson are the insightful questions he asks that many of us aren’t thinking about. In this commentary, he puts the brakes on the emotional reaction most of us have had in the aftermath of the Hamas terrorist attack against Israel. Carlson also shines the light on the warmongers banging the war drums and interviews a Presidential candidate who has a more measured take on what the American response should be.
I have to say that I was saddened to hear of the passing of actor David McCalllum. Another of my childhood heroes has gone into eternity.
While McCallum garnered fame for his role as pathologist Donald ”Ducky”Mallard in the series “NCIS”, he will be most remembered by baby boomers as agent Illya Kuryakin in the 60’s television series, “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.”
McCallum played the Russian agent partner to Robert Vaughn’s Napoleon Solo in the series, which was television’s answer to James Bond.
U.N.C.L.E. premiered on NBC on September 22, 1964. The show was to be a vehicle for Vaughn with McCallum’s character in a limited role.
Robert Vaughn and David McCallum
However, with his blond , Beatle-style haircut, penchant for black turtlenecks and enigmatic manner, Kuryakin became an equal partner with Solo. As Agents for the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement , the two were sent on missions by Alexander Waverly , played by Leo G. Carroll.
The show sparked the 60’s tv spy craze with programs such as “I Spy”, “The Wild, Wild West”, and “Get Smart” premiering the following year. Much of the U.N.C.L.E. success came from college kids adopting the show and McCallum becoming a teen heartthrob.
While Napoleon Solo was the dashing agent in the spirit of James Bond, Illya Kuryakin was reserved and laconic. The pair were the perfect balance to one another .
I appreciated the resourcefulness of Illya and let’s face it, the guy was just cool. Unflappable in every situation, Illya cared less about attracting women. That, of course, was what made him attractive to the female fans of the show.
Illya Kuryakin and “Star Trek’s” Mr. Spock were two of the most popular characters of 60’s, largely because both were outsiders. Spock of course, was from the planet Vulcan , a people devoid of emotion and Kuryakin was a Russian agent in America.
Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock
NBC cancelled U.N.C.LE. in 1968, halfway into its fourth season. This, after a disastrous third season that saw the show embracing camp after the phenomenal success of “Batman”, which premiered on ABC in January 1966. The over-the-top approach was disastrous for a high adventure spy program with humorous elements.
McCallum reprised the role of Illya Kuryakin, along with Robert Vaughn’s Napoleon Solo in 1983 for the “Return of the Man From U.N.C.L.E” TV movie. The two would also reunite in the” A-Team “episode ‘Say Uncle’ with featured McCallum in a villainous role.
McCallum starred in several series post UNCLE, including “Colditz”, “The Invisible Man” , “Sapphire and Steel “and of course “NCIS”. But to me he will always be the blond spy dressed in black, brandishing the UNCLE Special pistol. Thank you Mr. McCallum for your portrayal of Illya and thank you for the adventure and escapism you brought to my childhood as you enter eternity.
Oligarchy (noun) 1: government by the few 2: a government in which a small group exercises control especially for corrupt and selfish purposes — Merriam Webster Dictionary
Has American government become government by the few? Is America becoming an oligarchy? This is a valid question considering most of what’s coming out of Washington these days seems corrupt and only for selfish purposes.
Let’s see…a dictatorial and unelected administrative state, impeachments of political enemies, globalist policies, cutting energy production and a wide open border sure illustrate the Biden Administration giving the middle finger to Americans. Someone, a corporation or politically connected family is benefitting from such policies.
It’s certainly not the American taxpayer/worker , whom such policies seem designed to punish.
Oligarchy is a word not usually attached to America. How many times have you heard the word “Russian oligarchs” especially during the Trump- Russia collusion hoax?
Personally, I had not thought much about the term until watching an eye- opening lecture by Hillsdale College. You can watch it here:
“An oligarchy is the rule of the few for their own sake. A distinct and insular class of people, rather than a trained elite.” Does this not describe the deep state and the administrative state?
Washington D.C. is a bubble insulated from the rest of the nation, with its own rules for governance and justice.
Now, a side bar that I promise will bring us back to the subject of this piece.
Let’s talk about a fact the insular class want you to forget: America was founded as a republic not as a democracy. In fact , democracy is not found in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States.
What’s the difference? Aren’t a republic and democracy the same thing? Certainly both forms of government protect liberty…don’t they?
Not quite.
A republic whether one wants to call it Constitutional or representative, protects the rights of the individual, the minority and even individuals in the majority. This means the rights of any individual disagreeing with the majority are just as important as those in the majority. In other words, the majority is not valorized.
A republic also recognizes there are intellectual differences as well as differences in wealth and stature among people. It doesn’t try to erase these differences . Republicanism, instead, embraces these differences and takes all sides into account in the pursuit of justice and liberty.
However, egalitarianism is supreme in democracy. Democracy exploits man’s inherent desire for equality as a weapon that tramples any counter opinions. Only one opinion matters in a democracy ,the will of the majority. Democracies are vulnerable to the passions and shortsightedness of popular rule.
Today , this justifies cancel culture and willfully ignoring any counter-arguments to democracy based policies. This, of course is anti-liberty.
Unfortunately, what the modern political left means when they shout “democracy!” is their form of government which benefits Washington D.C. How many times have you heard, some individual or group is “a threat to Democracy?” This means any person or ideology that threatens their system.
Dems and the RINOs, aided by the media, gaslight the public into believing their narrative is shared by the majority. They have convinced much of pop culture that America is either a pure democracy or a representative democracy. In fact, I cannot think of a current elected Republican correcting this purposeful redefinition of America.
Did you know the Founders hated democracy? Why, you ask?
Because they were well-read students of history, they knew democracies eventually slide into tyranny. Just so we’re all clear, tyranny is government exerting oppressive power over the people. Got it? Now check this out.
German sociologist, Robert Michaels
Sociologist Robert Michaels also theorized oligarchies are inevitable in any democracy. Repeat: oligarchies are inevitable in any democracy.
Perhaps this explains the deep state, the UniParty and the media blatantly, protecting the interests of an anti-American and anti-Constitution elite class?
Consider the attacks on the 2nd Amendment, 1st Amendment censorship, skyrocketing gas prices, billions of dollars to Ukraine, the slow walk to address glaring election illegality, and the push to place Americans in electric vehicles. All these issues suggest a government ruling the people based on the whims of a small elite, rather than serving the people, does it not?
Is this maintaining our history of freedom and liberty or is this control? Is this promoting life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness or fear and manipulation? You be the judge.
One thing’s for sure, this dedicated elite does seem hell-bent in taking us back to a pre-Constitutional form of government where the rule of law means one is guilty until proven innocent, instead of innocent until proven guilty.
Cross the state, and the court of public opinion, led by the media, will convict you of allegations of sexual assault even before a trial. If that doesn’t work they’ll impeach you on trumped up charges, take away your office and gag you from speaking in your defense. Just Ask Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Use the law to prosecute political enemies and guess what we got? Perhaps a Banana Republic reeking of communism and Marxism under the control of an oligarchy? Seems plausible.
And where are the outraged conservative statesmen and stateswomen declaring this blatant corruption?
Some get it, but most are too busy giving Americans a vicarious “two minutes hate” against the likes of Anthony Fauci and Merrick Garland during investigations that go nowhere. You know, lots of grandstanding, but no significant punishment meted out. But hey, at least conservative websites will report about the tongue lashings as if we scored some points.
No offense, but scoring political digs against some bureaucrat, Democrat or otherwise, accomplishes nothing except a moment or two of schadenfreude. That doesn’t cut it anymore.
More Americans’ eyes are opening to the reality of our situation. More are understanding our government taking actions that hurt, instead of helping, law-abiding American citizens.
What do we do?
First, we identify the problem, which more patriots are realizing. Education is the next step.
Teach loved ones, friends and even your liberal and RINO friends about oligarchies. Point out America’s leaders were not meant to come from only specific families, or colleges and that an insular administrative state is a danger to liberty.
Then you use the power of the vote. Ignore the naysayers who tell you don’t waste your time. These are Eeyores who are quick to throw in the towel. Keep voting no matter what.
Other than that, all we, the people can do is resist. Keep standing, speaking the truth and never surrender. Throw sand in the gears anyway you can. One simple way is declaring America is a republic every time you hear someone pontificating about democracy. Another is asking among friends, is America an oligarchy?
The patriots who fought, died, and prevailed, formed a Constitutional republic free of the tyrannical reign of monarchy and the corruption of democracy. This small political oligarchy has spent the last several decades soiling this legacy because we, the people, weren’t paying attention.
American Christian: A Treatise of Spiritual, Cultural and Political Discernment, my newest book, is now on sale at Amazon. I hope you will add it to your library as an indispensable tool for discernment.
Why the title, American Christian ?
I came up with the title because American Christians are unique in the world. What is this uniqueness? They must not only know their Bible to serve the Lord effectively, but should also understand the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence to defend freedom and liberty in America.
God blessed America with a spirit of courage and abundance. Because America’s has turned its back on God, fear and corruption dominate. I believe our nation is in the shadow of God’s righteous anger as most of her citizens and leaders reject Jesus.
God-fearing, Bible-believing Christians must rebuke the notion that we will politic our way out of this situtation with a new president or congress. What the USA needs is repentance and a return to Christ.
From the introduction:
America is amid a vast spiritual war. In war, one must be battle-ready to fight effectively. In this spiritual war, the Christian must always be vigilant in order to stand against the schemes of the devil carried out by human pawns. —American Christian pp. 3
It’s not only compromised politicians, educators, journalists, judges, and Hollywood who are the devil’s human pawns. We can also include friends and loved ones walking in darkness. Keep in mind anyone who rejects Jesus is, by default, a pawn of the devil.
When Jesus first sent out the disciples, what did He tell them?
“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.”–Matthew 10:16 (New King James Version)
Wolves are ravenous, hunt in packs and are natural predators to sheep. This is the world to the Christian. We can only prevail in our call through the power of the Holy Spirit. This is why Christians must be in daily, fervent prayer to the Heavenly Father.
Amid this, Jesus tells us to be shrewd in using worldly institutions such as radio, television, the internet, and social media to accomplish our mission. In Christ , we are able to take what was meant for subversion and use it for the kingdom of heaven. We are to do so with gentleness and the the utmost integrity, hence the term “harmless as doves”.
American Christian is one reference to aid this shrewdness by understanding the lies and falsehoods fed to us as truth by the world. I provide the reader with pithy , straightforward chapters that are easy to digest. My goal is to engage the reader to consider aspects of Christianity, culture and politics they may not have given much thought about.
Discernment is a spiritual gift from God that enables us, in His power, to tell truth from lies, right from wrong and light and darkness. If you do not have this spiritual gift, all you need to do pray and ask.
If you like my newest book, American Christian, please leave a review on Amazon and share with your friends. American Christian will also make a nice Christmas gift.
My first book, No Christian Man is an Island: Leading the Spiritual Quest in America’s Culture Wars , is also available at Amazon for your reading pleasure.
How do we stop fearing when everyday the enemies of God and America bombard us with alarm, dread and uneasiness? The answer is simple: Seek the Lord with all your heart.
Here is a truth: our enemies are godless. Their father is Satan and they serve him in every capacity from when they rise to when they slumber.
Some gleefully worship the father of lies; those are the ones in power. You can see the evil in their eyes and in their faces.
However, most of the lost do so by default, because they either do not know Jesus or flat-out reject Him . What they fail to understand is if Jesus is not Lord of your life , then the devil is your dictator.
Don’t take my word for it. Look at their bitter fruits.
Most everything about our enemies is corrupt or counterfeit. Since they hate God, they hate beauty and worship ugliness. Their hatred of the Heavenly Father also causes them to equate lust with love and speak lies as truth.
Instead of worshiping God ,they worship goddesses or created things such as the earth. They do not know wisdom , only foolishness. This results in group thinkers who exalt chaos and division while scorning peace and unity.
The godless wallow in lawlessness while turning the law against the law-abiding . They call Christians weak-minded for fearing an invisible God, and not fearing their alarmist predictions of climate change or killer viruses.
Look at how the godless strenuously work to mainstream such perversion as drag queen story hour. All it takes is playing on people’s sense of justice , fairness and guilt. Note also their zeal for cancel culture and censorship of those who rebuke their efforts to normalize aberrant behavior.
Censorship isn’t alien to an ideology that hates the Holy Bible, the Constitution , America as founded , godly marriage, the family, children, masculinity, patriotism and the flag. Cancel culture is also no stranger to the godless.
Cancelling someone is the equivalent of salting the earth after destroying an enemy. One’s character is assassinated with cancel culture, but so are the reputations of friends and associates of the target. As if this isn’t bad enough , the merchants of venom then destroy the ability of the victim to make a living.
Such cold, vindictive evil would shame a God-fearing person, but it’s merely a form of control for the godless. Keep in mind that control is a reaction to fear. (More about this later)
This is why the godless value an all encompassing government versus a limited government, compliance more than freedom, and libertinism over liberty.
Everything , every action, dictate or outrage that comes from the godless comes from a spirit of darkness and fear. God -fearing Christians, especially those who follow politics and engage in the culture war ,scare the godless.
Why is this so? It seems odd since the godless dominate the corporate media , Hollywood academia and globalism. Their rhetoric and arrogance give the impression of the having the upper hand. However, they hate of the light of Jesus reflected by God-fearing Christians, especially those engaged in the culture war.
For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.—John 3:20 (English Standard Version)
Remember Jesus told us as the world hated Him, it will hate us. So how was Jesus sinless despite His enemies twisting His every word and looking for any excuse to kill Him? Even when Jesus drove the moneychangers from the temple , He committed no sin in His righteous anger.
Yes , Jesus was and is the Son of God . However, He walked the earth fully man and was tempted in every transgression. I believe He was able to resist because He constantly sought the Father in prayer.
How did the disciples stop fearing? They constantly sought the Lord in prayer.
We can do the same.
I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.— Psalm 34:4 (ESV)
..(F)ear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. —Isaiah 41:10(ESV)
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.–Romans 8:26 (ESV)
So, may we stop fearing the godless? Stop fearing whether or not they will like you or even their threats. Place your fear only in God , which is the beginning of wisdom.
In wisdom we learn we have truth with God. That same insight tells us our enemies are weak because they have neither the Lord or truth.
Is Hollywood collapsing? This is a valid question, considering the public response to the fable- scribes and adult pretenders work stoppage has been a collective yawn.
After all , have you heard any complaints that late night talk shows having gone dark? I haven’t . What about the complaints regarding delays with movies and steaming content on platforms like Disney Plus, otherwise known as D+? Nope, not a word.
This does not bode well for woke Hollywood. The people are sick of woke politics and the attempts to ram them down our throat in every media and every platform.
You hear that silence Hollywood? That’s the public no longer paying attention to overpaid, spoiled, entitled narcissists who believe their opinions carry weight because they play pretend on the big and small screen .
The magic is gone, and your luster has dulled. Everyday, less gullible people hang by your every word or shallow observations. What a relief not to hear virtue-seeking, Trump-hating observations by the know-nothings passing themselves as cutting edge late-night hosts.
Since May 2 the the writers have marched. The members of the “Film Actors Guild” ” began marching in solidarity on July 14. So for nearly 140 days and nearly 70 days , respectively, there’s no end in sight.
Actors and writers are reporting financial difficulty as the strike continues . What is the end game? Most of America could care less.
However, I feel sorry for the people on the periphery: the drivers, caterers, set people, wardrobe, even waiters , bartenders and busboys. These are the people whose financial livelihood are dependent upon the denizens of modern Babylon.
As for the entertainment industry, public sympathy is waning at best. Actions have consequences. Insult your audience long enough and eventually they will reject you .
Will the actors, producers, and directors learn their lesson during this collective strike? We’ll see.
One thing’s for sure: once you piss off an audience, it’s hard to get them back. Good riddance, says most of America. As Hollywood strikes, it is finding that most hard-working people could care less.
God is revealing to American Christians a government that has contempt for the foundations of America. This epiphany is ugly and downright unsettling, but take heart, God is in control.
Yes, we have a desiccated, morally bankrupt figurehead as president.And yes, the statesmen standing as a bulwark for the people are few and far between.
So why should Christians be joyful ? We take heart because God is in control.
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. –Romans 8:28-30 (English Standard Version)
What the world throws at us as evil, God uses it for our greater good. He is conforming those He has called to the image of His Son. Why? God is in control.
The question then becomes, do we believe that God is sovereign, no matter the circumstances? If we have faith then why do we worry ?
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.— Phillipians 4:6-7
God commands us not to worry or be anxious about anything. We do this by taking everything in prayer and petition to the Creator. And here’s the kicker: we do this with thanksgiving!
What is thanksgiving? It is thanking God in advance for answering our prayer. In other words, we pray with the expectation that God not only hears our requests, but answers them.
When we pray in this manner, God’s peace guards our heart and minds in the supernatural power of Christ Jesus. Do you understand what this means? We have access to this power no matter the circumstances.
So when you become despondent about the evil ascending in our governments and institutions, put it to prayer. Pray your honest thoughts and feelings about the situation and for God’s will to prevail. Then expect and thank Him for answering your heartfelt prayer. Do this sincerely and often and soon your believing and non-believing friends will see Christ’s light in you.
Instead of worrying about the assaults to the rule of law, why don’t we pray for God’s justice to prevail? Instead of grumbling about the latest political outrage with your friends, why not encourage a group prayer?
God promises to protect His people even amid a world spinning out of control. Our Heavenly Father covers us in His protection (Psalm 91:4 , ESV) and He sealed us with the Holy Spirit.( 2 Cor 1:21-22 , ESV)
Nothing is happening in America, and the world, has caught God by surprise. What satan purposes for evil, God uses for our greater good. Remember to take heart, God is in control.
The Declaration of Independence… America’ first document of liberty. When is the last time you read it or maybe you’ve never read it all? Why is it important that we even know it?
For a document that is the foundation America was built upon, we don’t hear much about the Declaration of Independence except for the 4th of July. Even then, America’s first document of liberty takes a backseat to barbecues, parades, and fireworks.
Schools certainly don’t teach the Declaration of Independence with the same intensity as they do about America’s inherent racism, gender identity, and climate change.
Is it any wonder this country is weakening and possibly dying? Much like gender confusion, we’re not sure who we are as Americans.
How did this happen, this radical yet gradual transformation? Why does the only thought uniting us right now is the question, “What the heck is happening to this country?”
The answer is simple. For generations, we farmed out our stewardship of liberty from ourselves to government.
This was and is a tragedy in its truest definition. Picture us as the sheep, giving wolves the power to shepherd us.
Let’s get this straight, government is God’s divine construct for the people’s protection and , therfore, necessary. The problem is, historically , man’s fallen nature and insatiable lust for more power, corrupts governments.
You get the picture?
Unfortunately , America is a testament to that truism of man’s fallen nature and insatiable lust for power as we slouch into tyranny.
Patriotic Americans have an inherent hatred of tyranny. It is in our DNA because tyranny sparked the American colonies to break away from the British Crown. Hence, the Declaration of Independence.
For those educated in the American public school system, you may have forgotten the Declaration of Independence was a formal assertion by the people of the right to choose their own government. The first document of liberty presented to the world the colonists’ case for revolution against British rule.
America’s first document of liberty: The Declaration of Independence
Here’s the part most people know about the Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Powerful and timeless words:A resounding testament to the wisdom of the Founding Fathers.
But guess what? Those words are the second paragraph of the D.o.I.
What’s in the opening paragraph, the opening statement of their case? This:
In Congress, July 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
In this introduction is the justification to separate from British rule according to the Laws of Nature and of God, the Creator of Nature. Simply put, they declared their revolution a righteous cause.
And here’s what follows that section about “…Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness:
—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Governments are instituted deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. This means the government only has power if we consent to it. Put another way, the government serves at our consent.
Wait…what? Government serves at our consent? How many of you have forgotten this? Let’s continue.
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it and to institute new Government. ” This is the part that our rulers want to keep the younger generation ignorant of: their right to get rid of government that’s become destructive. Uh-huh, it’s a Right with a capital R to remove it and replace it with government dedicated to protecting the country and the people.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
Of course the Founders ,in their brilliant wisdom, cautioned that that nothing is casual about revolution. It opens the door to the ugliness and brutality of war. Revolution can also be a double-edged sword: The government you get might be worse than the previous . A classic example was the French Revolution. Two modern examples include Communist takeover of Cuba (1959), led by Fidel Castro, and the overthrow of the Shah of Iran (1979).
As follows, the colonists took the course of revolution with prudent deliberation and presented their case to England and the world.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
The Founders then lay out in detail the long train of abuses and usurpations, which you can read here. Read and re-read, especially the passages made challenging because of the proper English of the time. Use a dictionary if needed.
After the extensive checklist of abuses comes the build-up to the robust climax of to the Declaration , beginning with this statement :
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Seems like Deja vu all over again.
The Founders ensured that our system of redress lay in our vote. But what is the state of our vote in America now? Instead of defending that sacred vote of the citizenry, bought and blackmailed politicians legislate to weaken our power at the ballot box.
Who’s fighting for us? Local district attorneys? Many of them are corrupt. The legislature? They’re beholden to the DNC and the RNC instead of local interests. Congressmen and Senators? With few exceptions , party interests trump the people. Federal judges? Certain jurisdictions place partisan politics above the rule of law. The president? The compromised Biden Administration is America-last first and always.
So here we are, a sea of enemies within. It’s up to we, the people. But what do we do? The odds seem against us.
Now you have an idea of what the 56 signers of the Declaration must have felt. Read the last line before the signatures:
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Divine Providence is the governance of the God throughout His creation. The Founders were mostly God-fearing men who placed their faith and trust in His perfect will.
Many of these men lost their lives , fortunes and even families. As for their sacred honor, it has stood the test of time.
Paul Harvey: “Fate of the 56 Signers of the Declaration of Independence”
We have forgotten the meaning of the Declaration of Independence. In the times we are living, this blissful ignorance is not just unacceptable, it is negligence.
By not knowing the origin, the inflection point of this country and the sacrifices made, we allow scoundrels to dictate who we are.
Make it your mission to study this fundamental deed of freedom. This is not a call for violence or revolution, but a clarion to throw off the spiritual and intellectual chains of Marxism, socialism and communism that have clouded our thinking and divided us.
Become inspired by the faith and trust the Founding Fathers had for God. Learn America’s first document of liberty to the point where you can articulate it for anyone, especially your children and grandchildren. We will re-embrace our American heritage when we fear God more than man.
The mug shot heard ’round the world. Congrats Dems and RINOs of the Uniparty. You made history, yes, but in doing so you’ve crossed the Rubicon and are sowing the seeds of your destruction.
President Donald Trump’s cold stare of righteous anger is symbolic of all Americans witnessing the transformation of our justice system to that of a banana-republic. You know…those countries you’ve read about where political enemies are jailed?
But Trump is not in jail, some of you are saying. He is not in jail because he posted the $200 thousand bond, but he was indicted, arrested, and booked just like a common criminal:All according to plan.
President Trump faces 91 criminal charges amounting to over 700 years in prison if convicted of all of them. One Fox News host basically described the legal strategy: a staggering amount of criminal charges with the hope that something sticks.
“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime,” was the infamous boast of Lavrentiy Beria, the head of Josef Stalin’s secret police. Is this not what’s transpiring now just in time for the 2024 Presidential Election?
What’s going on here is election interference plain and simple. Do not lose sight of this.
Even ifTrump is found guilty, the conviction(s) will be overturned on appeal due to the shaky legal foundation of all the charges. However, said appeal would probably not happen until after the 2024 election. What the Uniparty is hoping is they can trigger the 14th Amendment section 3 :
Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection (author emphasis) or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Why do you think January 6 protest, that turned into an instigated riot, was called an insurrection by Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell and the quisling media? Think about it. Insurrection is specifically mentioned in the Constitution as a disqualification from holding office. Had you ever heard the term, insurrection, mentioned in mainstream culture prior to J6? I know I had not. Question everything.
RINO Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson admitted the strategy to disqualify Trump at last week’s opening presidential debate.
Will using the Constitution against the most pro-America president since Ronald Reagan work? I don’t believe so. What the Uniparty is banking on is some states using the 14th Amendment as an excuse to keep Trump off the ballot. Some legal scholars say this tactic will fail. We’ll see what happens.
As for the charges, keep in mind Trump was exonerated in two impeachments , was awarded damages in the Stormy Daniels lawsuit, and nothing illegal was found in his tax returns by congressional investigators. Many of these charges are rehashes of those cases where Trump was found innocent.
Then the question arises, why now? Why weren’t these cases brought two years ago before Trump announced his candidacy? The answer is easy: Trump has a serious chance of winning re-election.
This probability has the UniParty and the Deep State baffled. They were counting on the the multiple charges disgracing President Trump in the eyes of the public. Instead Trump’s poll numbers are skyrocketing as more people recognize this is election interference couched in a witch hunt.
Their attacks are based in lies and come from a foundation of lies. Subterfuge eventually fails due to the energy expended in maintaining the falsehood. These charges will not stand in the light of truth, which is on our side.
Anyway, back to the Trump mugshot.
The flinty gaze of a warrior and leader of the people.Trump’s eyes say to me,”Enjoy your petty little victory, Justice is coming and nothing will save you.”
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.— Isaiah 54:17
Perhaps we should include these verses in our prayers. God is exposing the level of evil we are facing. Victory only comes through the Heavenly Father. The mugshot heard ’round the world is an instrument to wake the people up to the reality of the battle.
Yeah, news reports say we dodged a bullet. If only we could say the same about the press conferences media coverage of Tropical Storm Hilary. Here’s my take on the failed hurricane known as TS Hilary.
Courtesy: NOAA
The experts predicted ” Catastrophic and life threatening flooding!” They warned us to shelter in place (where have I heard that before?) because of heavy rainfall and powerful winds!
The reality was anything but.
Words mean things. Used skillfully, words can calm a worried populace. Used exploitively , words can evoke fear , anxiety and worry. Guess which way, politicians and the lapdog media used the slogan , “catastrophic and life-threatening flooding”?
It reminded me much of Covid coverage with the pearl-clutching fear mongering and the constant slogans. Remember “two weeks to flatten the curve,” “social distancing,” “shelter in place,” “safe and effective,” and “stay safe?”
But I digress.
Yes. Baja California suffered the worst of Hilary. High flood waters displaced many residents. Luckily there were few fatalities.
Record rainfall caused street flooding in cities and heavy flooding in the high desert and mountainous areas of California’s Inland Empire.
Courtesy:Teller Report
Rising waters stalled many cars and damaged roads in various areas, but caused no loss of life in Southern California according to news reports. TS Hilary marked the first tropical storm to hit California since 1939. Other than history, my take on TS Hilary was that it differed little from a bad winter storm that’s commonplace in Southern California.
Courtesy: Rawstory.com
Thank God the damage was relatively minimal when measured against the pearl-clutching news reporting. Most notably ,the predictions of catastrophe from high winds were mostly wrong.
Coverage of the aftermath had to be somewhat of a letdown for the media: standard video of the aforementioned stranded cars, closeups of receding street flooding, property damage from falling trees, and soundbites from affected residents. Again, no different from your average Stormwatch team coverage.
However, there was the novelty of a 5.0 earthquake causing some shakes during the rains, and even that fizzled out. Damage was so minimal viewers watched lives shots where reporters presented breaking news that literally amounted to broken items knocked off store shelves due to the quake.
“But Dex, you have to give the government and the media credit. The message got out and probably saved lives.” Maybe. Certainly the tropical storm of 1939 , otherwise known as the Lash of St Francis did much more damage and caused 48 deaths from 50-60 mph winds, heavy rainfall and flooding.
Another difference between the two storms is residents then, received little warning and little time to prepare. Today , Californians had days to fortify their homes, thanks to the National Weather Service which, established a forecast office for Southern California in the aftermath of the ’39 storm.
I would give credit to the National Weather Service for its early warning systems of dangerous storms, not fear-mongering politicians and media. Call me cynical, but I don’t trust government, nor unquestioningly accept its’ calls about keeping us safe.
Sorry, but Covid killed that trust. I now view politicians’ efforts as CYA’s or as manipulative and calculating toward current power or future political plans. This American now views any state- of -emergency declarations with a discerning eye and not a blind trust that government officials have my best interest at heart.
Anyway, that’s my take on Tropical Storm Hilary. Catastrophic and life threatening? Not this time.
I’m one of many Christians still living in California. I ask the question, Is California a God-forsaken place or a vast mission field?
Los Angeles
Yeah, Commiefornia, home of “LA LA Land”, “Hollyweird”, “San Franpsycho”, “Suckramento”, “Beserkly”, and the “People’s Republic of Santa Monica”. These leftist enclaves dominate California politics and have demonstrated they want nothing to do with God based on their assembly bills, propositions, and local ordinances.
California doesn’t just have a Democrat-controlled legislature, it has a wacko communist-socialist legislature that runs roughshod over a feckless and emasculated Republican Party. As a result, Cali is the embodiment of wasteful spending (bullet train to nowhere) excessive taxes, stunning homelessness, rising crime, and a crumbling education system.
Courtesy Epoch Times
Yep, the state is a leftist cauldron of madness. Corrupt authoritarians are free to indulge their inner communist with little to no opposition. Based on this reality, one would be justified saying the state is God-forsaken and certainly not a mission field.
So why would any Christian choose to stay in California? The simple answer: this is where God has placed us for now.
Grandchildren to live nearer to, out-of-state job opportunities , and retirement, these are some of the reasons my closest Christian brothers and sisters have left California. They are now living in states such Texas,Arizona and Florida.
Now I don’t fault them. In fact, I couldn’t be happier for them. I believe God has led my brethren according to His will and purposes, just as He has placed me and other God-fearing, Bible-believing Christians in California, for now
God-fearing and Bible-believing are important distinctions because when I speak of Christians, I am not referring to liberal denominations given over to doctrines of demons. I’m talking about those lovers of Christ who are ridiculed and despised because they believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God that is just as worthy now as when each book was first written.
Because these “dangerous” Christians continue to populate this state, I do not believe it is God-forsaken. God has not completely abandoned California, because He promises never to leave or forsake his people.
For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage; for justice will return to the righteous and all the upright in heart will follow it. –Psalm 94:14-15 (English Standard Version)
God-fearing, Bible-believing Christians are the LORD’s people and His heritage. It is written that He will never abandon us and that justice will return to the righteous. This applies no matter where He has placed us, even in California.
Corrupt religious and civic officials, amoral politicians, high taxation, and the persecution of Christians have been the norm in this fallen world. Yet, the gospel of Jesus Christ changed lives then and continues to do so today.
The Christian church growth is exploding in far more hostile countries such as Iran and China and the continent of Africa. Why not California?
I believe California is a vast mission field that Christians shouldn’t write off. That the state looks insurmountable, as far as Godlessness goes, is every reason to testify about Jesus.
When is God most glorified? When the odds appear wholly in the enemy’s favor. Check out the parting of the Red Sea, the fall of Jericho, the story of David and Goliath, and the story of Gideon for some Biblical examples. For a more contemporary example, read about Israel in the Six-Day War of 1967.
Preaching the Christian gospel amid countries dominated by the hostile and murderous forces of Communism, Islam, and other pagan religions will drive even the weakest Christian to his knees in daily or even hourly fervent prayer. When a believer sees the growth of the body of Christ, despite intimidation, murder, imprisonment, and other terrorist tactics, that is a testament to the glory of God.
What’s the worse we face in California? Politicians use ordinances against us, people slandering us as bigots, severed friendships, bad press, and maybe the occasional act of vandalism. No threats of death, beatings, or imprisonment; just people hating on us. Maybe we got this if we make up our minds to step up and obey whatever God is calling us to do.
Remember, nothing can stand against the power of God carried out through the Son, Jesus. Not even the liberal leftist mecca that is California.
Califonia is not God-forsaken as long as God -fearing Christians live here. For now, this state is a vast mission field.
In the times we are living , if you are apathetic and not questioning everything reported by the shill media , accepted as truth by popular culture, or repeated as a casual phrase by friends and family, then you are aiding your enslavement.
For instance, why do reporters insert climate change into the reporting of every wildfire , hurricane or flood?
Why has gender become a question at this particular time in history?
Who or what came up with the mantra diversity , equity and and inclusion? Why does it have to repeated in this order for the acronym DEI? Why not diversity, inclusion and equity for the acronym DIE?
Why does each network news program report the same story with the same phrases?
Why is the Uniparty going after former President Donald Trump with all these indictments now, despite more people understanding these legal maneuvers as election interference?
Why is Disney race-swapping classic and beloved characters while destroying the iconic intellectual properties of Star Wars and Marvel?
Why are major corporations marching in lockstep with woke politics, despite brand destruction and massive revenue losses?
When did government on all levels become an enemy of the people?
Who or what decided that hatred against white males is laudable?
Why is questioning election outcomes ok for Democrats but a threat to democracy when Republicans do the same?
Why aren’t feminists questioning the participation of transgendered males in women’s sports?
How did Joe Biden get 80 million votes, despite being holed up in his basement, and more votes than fellow Democrat Barack Obama?
When did Democrats decide that hating America is a campaign platform?
Why do Republican elites hate MAGA?
If you haven’t asked some of these questions, maybe it’s time you started.
“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.
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:
“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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
“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.
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.
If media leaks are to be believed, President Donald Trump will be arrested and indicted in a hail Mary charge by the Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. Trump has called for patriots to “protest, protest, protest!”
I don’t believe for a moment that Trump wants us to get out in the streets of Manhattan and rally around the court or city hall. He knows about the tactics of the FBI and Antifa and how they influenced the narrative of an insurrection of January 6.
The question is how do we protest? Obviously the left thinks it has us in a corner and as one columnist astutely noted in the American Thinker Monday, if we protest in the conventional way, we will surely be infiltrated by FBI and Antifa subversives and peaceful protest will turn into violence, which the media is licking it’s chops in hopes for. If we don’t protest, then the media will get video of empty streets and will be able to report that Trump’s has no real support.
But I say there are other ways.
First, I believe anyone protesting in the location near the Manhattan DA or New York City in general is playing right into the communist trap. We should protest, but we should do so in our own cities and states.
I’m a God-fearing man, so I think massive prayer vigils across the nation are an important and primary form of protest. This domestic siege against President Trump and the United States of America is a spiritual battle first and foremost. You do not engage spiritual warfare using secular tactics. And the battle is not yours it is God’s.
Our job in spiritual warfare is only to stand. WE pray individually or with groups to pray for His mighty intervention and for our enemies to know the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ. We pray for God to defeat the satanic plans of the enemies and for justice to prevail. We pray for a spiritual revival across the land that will sweep out the perversion, fear and corruption that has engulfed the government in this nation.
The prayers of a righteous man (or woman) avails much.
You need to pray even if you are not a Christian.
Whether you pray individually or amongst others, get video and post on all social media, not just the friendly sites. This is a form of protest that would distinguish us from the enemy.
I mentioned earlier protesting locally. Gather unannounced at intersections, at overpasses and offramps. Carry signs supporting Trump and protesting the communist infiltration of the United States.
I also like the suggestion by the host of X 22 Report to simply have everyone fly the flag on their homes , cars, storefronts, churches, wherever. Fly the flag in honor of the true and rightful President. Post the video on Twitter, Truth Social, Rumble, YouTube, and other social media.
Blast emails to your Republican and Democrat representatives, demanding they speak up against this blatant political attack under the color of the law.
The left wants us in the streets in front of the Manhattan court, so FBI confidential human sources, Antifa, and even neo- Nazis can dress in Trump MAGA gear and commit violence ,vandalism and mayhem for the tv cameras. The playbook worked for January 6, why not for March 21? At least that’s what they think.
They think they can incite us to violence by their unending attacks against Trump. They want us to lose it, emotionally. They want us to finally say, “That’s it!”
That day may come if the current state of the country deteriorates further. But for now, we must figuratively keep our powder dry.
Hopefully, the Manhattan DA will defy his puppet masters and call off the indictment. But if this precedes, patriots cannot play into the left’s hands. We must act with wisdom and discernment and not react out of anger.
In case you don’t know what I am referring to, a spiritual check is that thought, that feeling that immediately hits you when you come in contact with or read about something that is evil. That something is anti-God, anti-Christ and anti-life.
That spiritual check hit me in the last two years about the World Economic Forum (WEF). What is the WEF?
Well, they’re a group of ultra-rich elites, radical environmentalists and western government representatives who, since 1971, have been gathering each year in Davos, Switzerland to discuss global issues. This, under the auspices of saving the world.
Let’s emphasize “world” over mankind when it comes to the WEF. By the way, if you haven’t done so, click the above link and go to the WEF logo. Is it just me or does the half circle piercing the three “o’s” look like 666?
Microsoft founder Bill Gates is a prominent member of the WEF which is lead by a bald and bespectacled Klaus Schwab. This guy looks straight out of central casting as a James Bond villain. The haughty former Senator John Kerry and self-proclaimed global warming prophet/former Vice President Al Gore are also prominent members.
Through his “Young Global Leaders” program, Schwab has bragged that the WEF has penetrated “the global cabinets of countries” . Graduates of the program include Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, French President Emmanuel Macron, the aforementioned Bill Gates, and former German Chancellor Angela Merkel.For a deep dive of the list of the nearly 4000 graduates visit Dr Robert Malone’s website. You will be shocked.
When you look at the graduates perhaps that explains the synchronicity of the worldwide Covid lockdowns , the push for full vaccination , the call for vaccine passports, the brutal oppression toward the unvaccinated and the censorship of opposing viewpoints? Schwab is on record for using the Covid pandemic as a trigger for the Great Reset.
Why the recent calls to ban gas stoves? Why is California declaring a ban on the sale of gas powered cars in the state by 2035? This is because of the so-called climate change emergency.
The WEF authoritatively proclaims climate change will lead to dwindling resources because of mankind’s consumption of red meat. As a result, they deem to us in their role as our betters, that the masses must learn to consume alternative protein sources such as bugs and synthetic meat (meat produced in a lab) to save the environment.
Are you concerned yet?
The WEF also tells governments that the world is overpopulated despite birthrates worldwide and especially in Western Civilization dropping. What does this mean? Private property must be eliminated for the good of all except for the elites that is. After all they must be separated from the rest of the rabble. Just recently the WEF predicted we the great unwashed “will own nothing and be happy“.
Hmm… sounds suspiciously like …Communism ?!
Criticizing the WEF in the past would get you some looks and reactions as if you were some conspiracy theorist. As with everything God is revealing, conspiracy theory is becoming conspiracy fact. The WEF, in the form of a defacto world government, is dictating policy to once sovereign countries. What else could explain the call to reduce the use of nitrogen based fertilizers which will greatly reduce the worldwide supply of food? Why in the United States is our country exporting our natural gas to other countries, leading to double and even tripled gas bills to heat homes in the winter and cook food. Our media tell us this is due to Russia cutting off supplies of natural gas to European countries supporting Ukraine.
I believe that the spikes in heating and fueling our vehicles are designed to get citizens to develop an aversion to petroleum resources. Let me explain. Driving the prices up causes people to use less of it. Meanwhile what’s being touted as the saving alternative? That’s right, electric powered cars and stoves.
This is no slight, but most people are simply too busy with their lives to put the pieces together of how we are being manipulated into accepting the where the WEF wants us to be.
Here’s the problem. The infrastructure cannot support the increased use of electrical demand. But even that macroeconomic quandary ignores the reasons we are told that electric is the better way to go and that is the ability of more governmental control of your life.
You simply cannot drive as far with electric vehicles before you need to charge.Therefore , your freedom to travel as you please is reduced. Last year during peak energy usage in California, the state called for people not to charge their electric vehicles . That is a loss of freedom under the guise of an emergency. That is government control.
When it comes to the United States of America, we are still under the Constitution. Since this is the case, does the deference of some of our political leaders to WEF policies constitute ignoring the will of the people? It would seem so.
So what can we do as Christians when it comes to the WEF and its machinations? Study the Constitution. Stay informed and study your Bible, especially the books of Daniel, Ezekiel and Revelation. Begin to speak the truth to your friends and loved ones, even it leads to strained relationships. Finally, pray. Pray now, pray often and pray daily. What we face is not just politics or economics, but outright spiritual warfare. What we are witnessing are examples of doctrines of demons and principalities of darkness.
This is the time for big prayers, not small ones. Our God is greater than everything, including the WEF.
But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.”–Luke 24:1-7
He is risen! He is risen, indeed!
The empty tomb is a sublime reminder of our Lord and Savior, Jesus, conquering sin and death for us because of His perfect love.
The world tries to snatch our joy, but cannot. Christians are no longer of the world because of the Christ. Our home is where He sits, heaven.
Let’s get out of that mode of just saying Jesus Christ as if Christ is His last name. Christ is a title . Christ in the greek comes from the word Christos, which means anointed. The title is the equivalent of the word mashiach , or messiah in Hebrew. Christ literally means Messiah, the “Anointed One” of God.
Anoint means covered with sacred oil. When God anoints someone, He chooses that person for a special mission or task. God sent Jesus to save the world from sin and death.
For only the Son of God, unblemished and without sin, could be the final and ultimate sacrifice to satisfy God’s wrath against mankind due to our sin. Jesus ransomed us from Satan and death on the cross.
Jesus arose three days later, defeating Satan and death. Blessedly, we are no longer enemies of God when we accept Jesus, the Christ, as our Lord and Savior. Jesus marks us spiritually with His blood, so God sees us not as sinners but as sons and daughters in Christ.
The empty tomb also serves as a reminder that Jesus will return. It’s not a question of if, but when. We should endeavor to live from this moment forward with that promise foremost in our minds.
Yes, we live in this world and our flesh is susceptible to worry and anxious thoughts. Fear only occurs when we take our eyes and thoughts from Jesus .
Let us keep the image of empty tomb as a symbol that we will conquer death, as Jesus did, and spend eternity with our Heavenly Father and His Son, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
God is in control. Nothing is happening in this world outside of His knowledge. One crucial aspect to God’s plan was, and is that empty tomb.
The Goal is to suppress voter turnout for the midterms
You’ve heard the claim: MAGA is fracturing. But what if that MAGA “fracture” narrative isn’t organic: what if it’s being sold? In other words, pushed, amplified, and repeated to create the very disengagement it predicts?
Courtesy: Politico.com
The media keeps repeating it. Political insiders echo it. Even some conservative voices are starting to lean into it. The message is clear: Trump supporters are supposedly turning on him, disappointed, divided, and ready to walk away.
I don’t buy it.
What I see instead is a coordinated effort to create that perception: loud enough, constant enough, and emotional enough that people start questioning what they already know to be true.
Because that’s how you weaken a movement. If you can’t defeat it outright, you convince its own people it’s falling apart. Over the past few months, the talking points have been everywhere: • “Trump is too focused on foreign policy.” • “He’s ignoring the economy.” • “This isn’t what voters signed up for.” • “Nothing’s happening fast enough.”
You’ve probably heard some version of this from friends, social media, or commentators who claim to speak for the base.
But step back for a second.
Who is actually pushing this, and why now?
If you look closely, a lot of this “internal criticism” is being amplified by voices that were never fully on board to begin with. Some of the loudest critics today were openly skeptical, or outright hostile, to Trump in previous cycles. Now suddenly, they’re positioning themselves as protectors of the movement, warning that it’s lost its way.
That should raise an eyebrow.
At the same time, legacy media outlets are more than willing to spotlight every disagreement and frame it as evidence of a civil war. We’ve seen this playbook before: selective amplification, repetition, and narrative framing used to shape perception rather than simply reflect it.
That’s not accidental. Division is the objective.
If enough Trump voters believe that the movement is fractured, or that Trump has somehow “betrayed” them, the outcome is predictable: people disengage. They sit out. They tune out right when it matters most. And that has consequences.
If Republicans lose one or both houses of Congress in the midterms, the policy agenda stalls. Gridlock returns. And the door opens, again, for endless Democrat investigations and political theater.
Now let’s talk about the substance behind the criticism.
Conservative influencers tell us Trump is failing on the economy because his focus is overseas; that this isn’t what voters wanted.
But what do the underlying trends suggest?
The United States is attracting major investment in the energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing sectors, which are directly tied to long-term economic strength. Capital flows, domestic production, and industrial investment don’t move on headlines; they move on fundamentals. And right now, those fundamentals point toward continued energy development and the reshoring of key industries.
President Trump and Japan Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi after Japan pledges $56 Billion investment to bolster U.S energy and infrastructure
That matters. That’s not narrative, that’s tangible economic direction.
On foreign policy, the concern has always been endless wars: open-ended conflicts with no clear objective. Voters are right to be wary of that. But limited, strategic actions are not the same thing as the prolonged nation-building efforts that defined the last two decades. That distinction rarely makes it into the headlines.
Here’s the bigger point: movements don’t collapse because of disagreement. Disagreement is normal. It’s healthy. They collapse when their own people start to internalize a narrative built to weaken them in the first place: when frustration turns into disengagement.
Right now, there’s a clear effort to shape perception, attempting to turn uncertainty into doubt, and doubt into apathy. And that’s where voters need to be careful.
MAGA has grown stronger over the past decade and is certainly not as fragile as some would have you believe. However, anti-MAGA forces are trying to convince enough people to lose confidence at the exact moment their participation matters most.
At some point, it comes down to a simple choice: Trust what you’re seeing, or trust the narrative being handed to you. And history shows those aren’t always the same thing.
Oh, and one final note… If you’ve been hearing the “fracture” narrative everywhere lately, it’s worth asking: Are you seeing it? Or are you buying the narrative?
Look, I’m sure you’ve been as frustrated with the Republican Party as I have. Too many in leadership come off as weak, reactive, and more concerned with playing it safe than actually winning. And yeah, sometimes it feels like they’re doing just enough to irritate their own voters heading into the midterms.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, flanked by Senate Leaders speaks to the press
So, let’s just say it plainly: this isn’t about Republican versus Democrat anymore.
This is about direction. It’s about leadership. And right now, the driving force behind the Republican Party is Donald Trump. There is no version of the GOP that wins nationally without him. That’s just reality.
President Donald Trump, the driving force of the GOP
Make America Great Again (MAGA) isn’t some side movement: it is the energy of the party. And that’s exactly what makes the establishment uncomfortable. They’ve spent years trying to manage it, soften it, or sideline it. That hasn’t worked, and it’s not going to. Take the SAVE America Act as a perfect example. Requiring proof of citizenship to vote should be a political layup. Polling consistently shows broad public support for voter ID, including among independents and even some Democrats. And yet, delay, hesitation, and excuses are the refrain of Senate Majority Leader John Thune and usual RINO (Republican in Name Only) suspects. We hear about the filibuster, about not having the votes, and about not wanting to open the door to amendments.
Let’s be honest: If the Democrats were in the majority, do you think they would hesitate to nuke the filibuster? Not a chance. They change the rules immediately.
Yet, there may be a workaround to Senate Majority Leader Thune’s trepidation.
As explained by From Real Clear Politics: “Reconciliation allows Congress to pass legislation affecting federal spending and revenues with a simple majority vote. Debate is limited, and the 60-vote threshold does not apply. It is a standard part of the congressional process that both parties have used when priorities demand action.Democrats used reconciliation to finalize key provisions of the Affordable Care Act. Republicans used it to pass the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The precedent is clear and well established.”
Republicans also used budget reconciliation to pass the Big Beautiful bill in 2025.
That’s the kind of thinking voters want to see: less handwringing, more action.
But here’s the reality: despite your frustration with the GOP, you can’t sit out the 2026 Mid-Term Election. Because in the short term, the mission is simple: win. Hold the House. Take the Senate. Build a majority strong enough to actually move an agenda. And yes, that may mean supporting candidates you dislike. That’s politics. It’s not always clean or easy, but it’s how you get results.
The bigger picture matters more.
We’re on the cusp of something major here: a new golden age for America. Trump is not only remaking the political, economic, and national security framework of America, but his policies and decisive actions are doing the same to the geopolitical order that’s been in place since the post-World War 2 era.
So yeah, be frustrated. That’s justified. But don’t lose sight of where this is going.
If the party drags its feet, voters can and should hold them accountable. That’s how this works. But walking away entirely? That just hands the advantage to the other side.
For now, stay focused. Stay engaged. Play the long game like Trump is doing.
You don’t have to love every piece of the machine, but if you want it to move in your direction, you still have to help push it. All good? Good.
A black woman cast as Helen of Troy? Rumor or not, Hollywood’s race-swapping of historically white fictional characters continues to alienate audiences, while the industry feigns confusion over falling ticket sales. Are such casting choices bold creativity, or a reality denial?
Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy?
The latest example is a textbook case of cognitive dissonance. Actors, writers, and producers operate inside an insular bubble, increasingly detached from the expectations of the general public.
Recent rumors suggest that Christopher Nolan, in his upcoming film The Odyssey, has cast Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy, a central figure in Homer’s The Iliad, written nearly 3,000 years ago. The same rumors claim Nolan cast Zendaya as Athena, another foundational figure in Greek mythology.
Nyong’o is undeniably beautiful and a talented actress, so none of this is a personal criticism. The issue is fidelity to the source material. Homer described Helen as “fair” and “white-armed,” and later writers immortalized her as “the face that launched a thousand ships.” For centuries, readers reasonably assumed that a character rooted in Greek mythology, written by Greeks, about Greeks, would be depicted accordingly. This understanding was never controversial until Hollywood began retrofitting ancient stories to suit a so-called modern audience.
Social media is buzzing, and not with enthusiasm. In an era of collapsing box-office returns and widespread contempt for celebrity moralizing, audiences are once again left wondering why Hollywood insists on provoking backlash instead of making films people actually want to see.
If these casting rumors turn out to be false, fine. The Odyssey will likely succeed on its own merits. If they’re true, many viewers will simply take Hollywood at its word and not spend their money. That isn’t a boycott, it’s consumer choice.
Why does this matter? Because people value continuity, coherence, and familiarity. Most sane people don’t appreciate out-of-touch elites telling them that what they’ve learned and understood their entire lives is suddenly “wrong.” Rewriting well-established cultural touchstones feels less like creativity and more like coercion. In that sense, it echoes Orwell’s 1984: being pressured to accept that 2 + 2 = 5, not because it’s true, but because authority insists.
From a business standpoint, none of this makes sense. Christopher Nolan directing a faithful epic adaptation of The Odyssey should be a guaranteed financial success. He is one of the few directors capable of carrying out a singular artistic vision. So why manufacture controversy?
Perhaps because controversy generates headlines, backlash can then be reframed as evidence of “inherent racism,” conveniently deflecting criticism away from poor creative and commercial decisions. Division has become a reliable marketing strategy.
It’s no mystery why Tinseltown has lost its luster. Audiences increasingly recognize that virtue signaling has replaced storytelling and that lectures have replaced entertainment. We’re constantly told, “If you don’t like it, don’t watch it.”
Message received.
As moviegoers continue to reject Hollywood’s politics and its insistence on telling people how to think and live, they’re following that advice: quietly, decisively, and with their wallets.
None of this is an argument against diversity, modern storytelling, or new interpretations created honestly and on their own terms. It’s an argument for respecting source material as source material. Ancient mythology is not a blank canvas for contemporary political messaging; it is a cultural artifact with its own internal logic, geography, and identity. When filmmakers adapt works like The Iliad or The Odyssey, accuracy is not oppression; it is fidelity.
Modern politics can stand on its own merits without being imposed on civilizations that never knew them. Audiences aren’t rejecting progress; they’re rejecting distortion. And until Hollywood understands the difference, it will continue mistaking principled resistance for prejudice—and artistic failure for moral virtue.
What do you think? Am I over-reacting? Please feel free to comment down below.
I just canceled my upcoming Super Bowl LX party. Want to know why I am boycotting the Super Bowl?
The NFL has become openly hostile to my values as a Christian and an American, while aggressively pushing political and cultural messaging that I fundamentally reject. I’m through contributing, passively or otherwise, to the left’s erosion of both faith and country.
Bad Bunny receives award for Album of the Year at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards
The NFL choosing Bad Bunny as the halftime performer, despite mainstream fans’ protests, was the last straw for me. The Puerto Rican rapper has made no secret of his hatred of President Donald Trump and was one of many recipients who slammed ICE at the recent Grammy Awards. I get the left wanting this guy to perform: it’s a huge middle finger to Trump. However, it’s also an f-you to half the NFL viewership who support the President.
“But it’s just a game, Dex. Ignore the politics and enjoy the contest.” I’ve heard that line for years, and I’m finished pretending it’s true. The idea that people can separate sports from politics only works when one side isn’t constantly forcing its ideology into the spectacle. Why am I always expected to bite my tongue in the face of blatant offense?
No more.
If this means walking away from the NFL, so be it. NBA viewership cratered after fans pushed back against the league doubling down on relentless political messaging. The NFL isn’t immune to the same consequences.
And yes, I know the history. The NFL was as American as apple pie: Vince Lombardi, the “Steel Curtain”, the “Doomsday Defense”, Jim Brown, Tom Brady, the ’73 Dolphins. That’s precisely what makes this so frustrating. When you think of all that bygone greatness, it’s tough to imagine it tied to the NFL in its current virtue-signaling form.
Seattle Seahawks players taking a knee in support of Black Lives Matter in 2020
Today’s NFL feels less like a sports league and more like a cultural activism platform. From performative protests to overproduced halftime shows designed to provoke, to the constant insistence that coaching hires must satisfy political narratives rather than merit, the league has lost the plot.
Can we go back to a time when athletes played, coaches coached, and politics stayed out of sports? When halftime shows didn’t alienate half the audience? When excellence, not ideology, was the standard? Instead, leftist politics now infect everything: sports, movies, music, history, and even children’s programming. And it’s always the same ideology, pushed everywhere, all the time. At some point, it stops feeling organic and starts feeling coercive.
Let’s be honest. The left’s constant saturation is designed to convince you that your values are outdated, marginal, or irrelevant. That your faith doesn’t belong in public life. That resistance is futile. That’s not persuasion: that’s cultural gaslighting. And judging by the number of churches flying political banners and the number of Republicans more eager to attack conservatives than oppose the left, it’s been disturbingly effective.
Enough.
It’s time to start calling bad ideas exactly what they are: warped, destructive, and disconnected from reality. It’s also time to refuse participation. Life is too short to willingly subject ourselves to content we find offensive while trying to relax and enjoy a game.
So yes, that’s why I’m boycotting the 2026 Super Bowl. I won’t be sitting through commercials that demean half the country, halftime shows I have to walk out on, or broadcasts more focused on ideological compliance than on the sport itself.
I’ll take old-fashioned competition, merit, and excellence, without the propaganda, any day.
Why is Tucker Carlson suddenly MAGA enemy #1? It’s because Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin say so.
Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro
According to these two, Carlson is an antisemitic because of three unforgiveable reasons: 1) He dared to question foreign aid to Israel and our involvement in their wars, 2) at the Charlie Kirk funeral, he compared Kirk’s assassination to that of the Pharisees’ call for killing Jesus, and 3) Tucker committed the unforgiveable sin of giving an honest interview to Nick Fuentes. They want Tucker canceled, humiliated, and ruined.
Tucker Carlson (L), interviewing Nick Fuentes (R)
So, let’s get this straight: questioning US foreign aid, quoting Scripture, and practicing free speech means you are evil incarnate? That’s what Levin, Shapiro, and much of the conservative elite are decreeing.
My question is, who made them the arbiters of Make America Great Again? Oh, that’s right, themselves. Funny, how these MAGA purists hated Donald Trump when he first ran for President in 2016. They angrily declared Trump was a threat to conservatism in the same panicked tones currently calling for Tucker’s career demise.
During his radio program in 2016, Levin ranted about Trump being an existential threat to the conservative movement. It reached the point where Levin’s show ratings plummeted. I used to listen to Levin when I was a neophyte conservative. His unhinged rantings about Bad Orange Man removed the scales from my eyes. I also used to listen to Shapiro. However, I stopped when he suggested that Trump losing to Hillary Clinton in 2016 would strengthen conservatism.
So now these former Trump haters are dictating what we can question. They are deciding who we shouldn’t listen to. They are also telling us what we should believe. Historically, those advocating for cancel culture have sought to limit people’s exposure to specific information. They fear such revelations may threaten their narrative and/or agenda. That’s true on both the so-called right and the left.
This united cadre of cancel culture is creeped out by the possibility that the words of hated individuals may resonate. They worry that these opinions might click with the masses. Remember this the next time you hear someone labeled as a bigot, racist, Uncle Tom, sexist, homophobe, or anti-Semite. Consider who is doing the shouting. The media, politicians, and academia do this en masse.
Why is Tucker Carlson MAGA enemy #1? He’s doing his part to help people make up their own minds, rather than allowing gatekeepers to hold sway over them. With the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there is a leadership void. A national figure is missing, one who appeals to the hearts and minds of young men. The conservative elite fears Fuentes taking up that mantle.
Do I agree with everything Nick Fuentes, Alex Jones, or even Tucker Carlson say? No, of course not. Let me also say that at one time, I thought Tucker was controlled opposition and did not trust him. My opinion has since changed, and I regard Mr. Carlson as a true patriot.
However, I reserve the right as an American to choose whether or not to listen to what these men say. Shutting them down and throwing the Nazi word around, with reckless abandon, is undoubtedly not MAGA.
Are Fuentes and Carlson as evil as Shapiro and Levin claim? If they are, why not simply debate them? Such an exchange would challenge and expose their supposedly dangerous ideas for all to see. Perhaps Shapiro and Levin have not announced such an event because they fear losing the argument. They might believe the public will not side with them.
That’s the beauty of freedom of speech– exposure to ideas you can either accept or reject. This truth is something the conservative elite has chosen to ignore and wants Americans to forget.
Is Proposition 50 a slam dunk? California media reports suggest so. However, certain tells may indicate otherwise.
The biggest tell is the Democrats’ use of President Barack Hussein Obama (BHO), Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), and even Senator Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren in their latest commercials.. Bringing in their heavy hitters suggests a genuine concern that voters may plan to reject Prop 50.
🚨 NEW: Gavin Newsom, Barack Obama, Jasmine Crockett, AOC, Elizabeth Warren, Alex Padilla, Chris Murphy, and Rep. Eric Simon all appear in a new Yes on 50 ad; a full-force show of unity from the Democratic bench. pic.twitter.com/dETQSjJqEP
Here’s the truth: Prop. 50 is nothing but even more absurd gerrymandering of districts to add five more Democrat congressional seats. This, to counter the Texas Republicans doing the same, in the Lone Star State—at least that is the justification. The ads would have you believe Newsom and Democrats are doing this to protect Democracy and resist President Donald Trump.
Uh-huh. What the Democrats are really trying to prevent is their House of Representatives numbers from shrinking further.
Gerrymandering has been going on for decades, especially in blue states and especially in California. Republicans regularly win 40 percent of the vote in the Golden State, yet out of 52 districts, only nine percent are won by the GOP. This 17 percent underrepresentation is because of gerrymandering.
Prop 50 would take away redistricting from the so-called non-partisan Citizen Redistricting Commission and transfer this power, “temporarily,” to the Democrat legislature. Newsom and the Dems believe voters are stupid enough to think they will relinquish this authority when Trump is stopped. LOL!
Apparently, internal polling must be showing the voters aren’t totally on board for this BS, hence the presence of BHO, AOC, and “Pocahantas” Warren. The problem is that BHO has no coattails. His endorsements have no pull. The latest example was Barry Hussein failing to shame black men into voting for Kamala. How did that work out? The plain truth is that an ever-growing number of Americans dislike Obama.
AOC–to put it kindly– is a mental lightweight, and “Pocahontas” Warren is a shrill liar. Trump dubbed her Pocahontas because she lied for years about claiming Native American heritage to receive academic promotions.
Let us not forget Newsom’s incompetence as governor for two terms, most recently during the Palisades Fire. Remember this viral image of Newsom caught lying to an evacuated homeowner, claiming he was on the phone with the president?
Governor Newsom caught lying to Palisades Fire victim.
And who could forget his hypocrisy during the pandemic when the media infamously caught him dining with friends at an exclusive restaurant while the rest of California was locked down?
Governor Newsom dining at the exclusive French Laundry in 2020
Considering this disingenuous and shameless bunch, are most Californians really falling for their so-called defense of Democracy? I’m hoping recent trends make this seem unlikely.
Trump flipped eight additional California counties red in the 2024 election, and Republicans are surging with voter registration in the Golden State. Republicans gained over 46,000 new voters statewide, while Democrats lost over 30,000. Hispanics and blacks also turned out in record numbers and voted for Trump. Does this sound like Prop 50 is a slam dunk? Sure, history has shown many Californians tend to be brainless voters, but are they suddenly believing these serial liars are telling the truth?
All the Dems have is making this election against Trump when, except for Democrat wailing and gnashing of teeth, voters are seeing a President trying to re-establish the rule of law in America, and especially in blue states.
The dirty little secret is that the Democrats have made Republicans impotent in this state by gerrymandering. What they are calling for now is wringing out more redistricting to the point of absurdity.
Prop 50 has nothing to do with preserving Democracy in the classic sense, but instead has everything to do with slowing the will of Americans who want this party out of power for at least a generation.
Key Takeaways
Democrats use high-profile endorsers like Obama, AOC, and Warren, indicating concerns about voter rejection of Prop 50.
Prop 50 aims to increase Democrat congressional seats through gerrymandering, countering similar actions by Texas Republicans.
The proposition seeks to transfer redistricting power from a non-partisan commission to the Democrat legislature temporarily.
Gavin Newsom’s past failures and the political landscape show signs of growing Republican support in California, contrary to Democrats’ claims.
Ultimately, Prop 50 focuses on preserving Democrat power rather than genuinely protecting Democracy.
One thing you can say about the left is their immunity to charges of hypocrisy. It is because of the leftist superpower: a lack of shame.
The left masks this lack of shame with constant outrage. Case in point, Democrats are gritting and gnashing their teeth over President Donald Trump remodeling the East Wing of the White House for the construction of a grand ballroom.
Demolition of the East Wing of White House for new grand ballroom
“It’s a desecration of a historical landmark!” The White House is not Trump’s palace, it’s the people’s building!” “It’s another example of Trump as an autocratic dictator!” Hmmm, my question is, where was that outrage when radical leftists tore down beautiful and historic statues because they were deemed hateful and offensive?
Statue of Stonewall Jackson before and after transformation to monstrous mutant by LA gallery artist
There were no shouts of desecration of historical landmarks or concerns about the people affected by their removal. The refrain from the left was to tear down these statues of Confederate generals and other slave owners. And then they act like the White House has never been remodeled to suit the Presidents who occupied it. Theodore Roosevelt built a tennis court located at the south end of the West Wing. In 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) had an indoor swimming pool for polio-related physical therapy.

White House officials later covered the pool and turned it into the Press Briefing Room in 1970. Harry Truman gutted the entire White House interior for major reconstruction from 1949 to 1952.

Barack Obama changed the tennis court into a basketball court.

For decades, tents went up for major state events. Now, Trump wants to build a grand ballroom worthy of the people’s house. What he is doing is no different from other presidents, but Democrats and wussy Republicans in name only (RINOs) don’t want you to know that. Any regular person would feel shamed if called out for their hypocrisy. Instead, the left is doubling down. I guess this superpower cancels out a conscience.
Oh and here’s an image of what the golden ballroom will looked like .

The assassination of Charlie Kirk, I believe, is a tipping point for America. It was also the horrifying culmination of ten days of an ever-escalating picture of the left and its true colors.

First, the Phillies Karen. A screeching image of a leftist feminist ideology, she invoked the disgust of sports fans and decent people nationwide. This harridan symbolized the left’s unrepentant selfishness, after snatching the home run ball a father retrieved for his son on his birthday. After all, she shrieked, “That’s my ball!”

Next, we saw the left race to condemn the victim while coddling the criminality of a black man. Then, social media backlash and a rebuke from President Trump led to the media finally covering a story they tried to bury– the horrible stabbing murder of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a beautiful young Ukrainian woman by a savage and remorseless black criminal. This thug had been arrested at least 14 times by police, and each time let go. The black female mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina actually tried to minimize the heinous crime by calling it a mental health issue and blaming society, rather than the vicious monster.

Then, everything escalated last week, for all to see. The far left, has shown it will kill those whose ideas come from a foundation of love and truth.
Taylor Robinson , the alleged 22 year old assassin apparently confessed to the shooting of Charlie Kirk in a chat-room before turning himself in to police. Robinson’s boyfriend who is transitioning into a female has been cooperating with law enforcement officials.
Americans recoiled in revulsion in the aftermath of the murder, as leftist sociopaths gleefully celebrated. However, conservatives are fighting fire with fire and cancelling these ghouls by getting them fired from their jobs.
🚨The leftists celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination DON’T deserve to die.
They DO deserve to lose their jobs. To become so poor they’ll sell their weapons for food money. To become homeless.
Ending domestic terrorism, requires punishing those who support it.
Charlie Kirk’s mission came from the light and love of Jesus Christ. God inspired Charlie to speak truth from a Biblical foundation, which changed the hearts of many of those who witnessed these debates. Charlie was able to debate because this was a talent from God. This young husband and father answered God’s call and served willingly, fearless of the cost.
I believe God has used these terrible recent events to show how entrenched evil has become in our culture. When leftists passionately defend wickedness and blame the victims, this is a picture no one can truly wipe from their minds.
More people, including moderate liberals, are sobering up to the fact that Democrats/leftists are a moral cancer to America. What they stand for has moved far beyond mere policy differences to advocating political violence. Patriotic Americans are realizing the Democrat party has no qualms about snuffing out opposing viewpoints by any means necessary.
There is no getting along with this party anymore, and normal people must call out unhinged leftist harangues always. They have gleefully cancelled people, and now the time has come to cancel them. We can personally dedicate our lives to shunning those extreme leftists who justify murder and mayhem.
Shunning can take the form of limited eye contact, withholding friendly banter, and literally showing no emotion during any interaction. Yes, we must certainly pray for the tortured souls of extreme leftists and moderate liberals ( who are complicit by their refusal to condemn the radical elements of their party) that they would accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We must also have forgiveness in our hearts; however, the time has come to symbolically shake the dust from our feet and turn them over to God.
No more throwing pearls before swine. The time has come for praying imprecatory psalms against demonic leftist ideology. After all, what does darkness have in common with light and death, life? We, as Christians, hate the sin, but Jesus commands us to love our enemies. Love does not mean going along to get along. Love demands drawing a line in the sand.
We cannot change their hearts by playing nice and bearing their hateful rhetoric with an aw-shucks smile. Until these people denounce the murderous hatred on the left and the Democrat Party, they are not worthy of recognition
America is at a tipping point: either the Democrats win or we win. It truly is that simple. They’ve been dominant, as evidenced by their control of the language and pop culture. Up to now, we’ve placed ourselves in a self-imprisonment by not pushing back. We’ve been so fearful about leftists demonizing us as racists, bigots, transphobes, or whatever. Now is the time to stop fearing the mean labels and embrace them.
Time to start living the truth and when necessary, speaking truth. We’ve also reached the point of avoiding any association with deranged leftist ideology, including those with those who cannot or will not denounce overt evil.
Guess what? Those who encourage racial strife, defend criminals, celebrate murder, engage in physical violence/destruction, encourage physical mutilation, promote chaos, hate America, and loathe God are the bad guys.
Christians/conservatives do not need to resort to violence because our ideas, based on Godly principles, have the power to persuade since love is the foundation. If that were not true, the left would not have murdered Charlie Kirk. However, we must stop disregarding what the Democrat Party and the left have become and rebuke them thoroughly.
Happy Independence weekend! This time of celebration deserves prayers and praises to God because we are in the process of throwing off the chains of tyranny.
Think of what we experienced in the past four years. Americans have been through a worldwide pandemic, unconstitutional lockdowns, masks, coerced covid vaccinations, the summer of love, taking a knee, J6 political prisoners, transgender madness, drag queen story hour, a stolen presidential election, record inflation, and skyrocketing crime and homelessness in our once great big cities.

Where were the political leaders willing to fight for us?There was no one of significance, save for President Donald Trump.

The only man in the past eight years who put Americans first was under constant assault from a corrupt ruling class headed by the puppet President Joe Biden. They tried to embarrass him, bankrupt him, imprison him. When that all failed, they tried to kill him.

However, their efforts backfired. Instead of demonizing Trump a he became a cause celebre, gaining the attention of Democrat blacks, Hispanics and moderate whites. These rational people saw through the witch-hunts and the Kangaroo courts and began to ask ,”Why is there so much opposition against this man?”
Americans listened to the character assassination of Trump as a Hitler, Stalin or Mussolini and questioned. They saw no concentration camps, gulags, brown shirts or political imprisonments under this man’s presidency, unlike the murderous dictators the propaganda media kept comparing him to.
What Americans saw playing out was a crucial link in the chains of tyranny. It wasn’t enough the wicked authoritarians wanted to break our spirit, they tried to destroy the one inspirational figure to the patriotic people of the country.
They tried and failed. In fact, the tyrants of the left and the deep state shot the proverbial wad. In trying to eliminate Trump , they created an almost mythological figure. The image of him rising ,wounded with his fist in the air and yelling to “Fight, fight, fight!” is indelible.

Patriots know he’s only a man, but they also know God appoints certain people for the times. Trump is the man for these times of righting the American ship. MAGA loves Trump because they know he genuinely loves the people of this country.
That’s the difference between a hack politician and genuine statesman. Oh yes, Trump is a statesman along the lines of the Founding Fathers.
“Seriously Dex, you’re comparing Bad Orange Man to George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson?” Yes I am. Like these great men, Trump is a transformative figure, unmotivated by political expediency. His focus does not seem to be himself, but instead, the freedom, prosperity and security of the American people.
Like the Founders, he also risked everything, including his life, fortune and sacred honor.
In many ways he symbolizes all we’ve overcome in these last four years, which makes Trump’s re-election such an historical landmark. He is the living embodiment of that American tenacity that never quits, despite overwhelming odds.
I don’t know about you , but this was the first Independence Day in five years where peace, not worry, was my first thought about the direction of America.
How appropriate President Trump is heading the nation as it begins the year long celebration leading to its 250th birthday. Throwing off the chains of tyranny symbolized this nation at its founding and now. Happy Independence weekend!
