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.

“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?

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 .

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
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.
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.
