Rightwing nut jobs, as a rule, consider themselves to be highly intellectual..but usually disprove that just by talking.
Take, for instance Candace Owens wants American troops to invade Australia to ‘Spread Democracy’. Australian citizens, she claimed, “are quite literally being imprisoned against their will." Her extremely silly kindergarten "concern" is over Coronavirus. But in Australia there have been 149, 398 reported cases of COVID-19 from January 3, 2020, to October 21, 2021, only 1,577 deaths have been reported.
But in USA from January 23, 2020, and October 20, 2021. COVID has killed more than 730,000.
Australians can take care of themselves

Ben Shapiro's " Daily Wire" published a story about an extremely-obviously-fake image that someone on the internet claimed was a document produced by the Canadian government. It was fixed after he was challenged on it. But I know how these right wingers work...they will take the first thing that comes along and push it fact. In rare instances they will realize they were wrong. Being uneducated and arrogant go hand in hand in the right wing.

Latest book for my library. "The Sequel of Appomattox" by Walter Lynwood Fleming. This is a 1st edition from 1919. It has a chapter devoted to the formation of the KKK which started as a "secret revolutionary society" out of a conviction that whites would not be able to endure under "reconstruction" polices.
An Alabama editor wrote: "the origin of the Ku Klux Klan is the galling despotism that broods like a night-mare over these Southern states--a fungus growth of military tyranny superinduced by the fostering of Loyal Leagues, the abrogation of our civil laws, the habitual violation of our national Constitution, and all resources and powers, to degrade white man by the establishment of negro supremacy."
The way I see it...if you look at post Civil War south ...it has in many ways attempted one step forward and ended with two steps back. Some of this book could be written about headlines happening today.

Tonight the Jan. 6 select committee has voted unanimously — 9 to 0 — to recommend holding Steve Bannon be held in contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena for their investigation.
The depths of Trump rottenness just goes deeper and deeper. In a statement on the death of Colin Powell:
"Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media. Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic RINO, if even that, always being the first to attack other Republicans. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace! But anyway, may he rest in peace!"
And the dimwit could be talking about himself with this sentence:
"He was a classic RINO, if even that, always being the first to attack other Republicans".
His psychosis is clearly getting stronger🙄🙄

Children often end up being unwilling witnesses to the episodes of yelling, belittling, and beating that are typical elements of domestic violence. Even if the abuser doesn’t attack the children, the mental scars left by witnessing a beloved parent or grandparent being treated in a violent way sometimes last longer than physical wounds.

Going forward I will use "Religious Nationalism" instead of "Christian Nationalism." Christianity is already taking a big hit via the "Nationalism" and the non religious just see the word "Christian" and there are already many Anti-theism folks ready to pounce on Christianity. The big issue right now is lots of calls for taxing the church because of politics. The condition of the non tax status is to keep church and state separate as per the Constitution. So I am not in favor of taxing all the churches, but I believe the ones that are pushing politics should have their tax exempt status removed. If you havent noticed..the most vocal Religious Nationalists leaders usually come from Mega-churches who push tithing and, hence, always seem to have unending bankrolls of money.
I Came across a great example of Religious Nationalism today while looking at an Iowa newspaper. Written by several Iowa pastors, It states: Whereas, God is the ultimate and highest authority, and his laws are the highest laws; and Whereas, masks cover the image of God by obscuring personal identity and violate the holy law of God by restraining the healthy in place of the symptomatic sick;
Keeping people healthy violates the holy law of God???
And the mask shouldn't be worn because it "covers the image of God??"
This has got to be a horrible revelation if you live on really cold parts of the country...like Iowa, for instance. And what about those sunglasses that covers the eyes of God's creation??? I cant imagine why the logic didnt push itself to its end and start condemning people for wearing any clothes at all because it would cover man who was made in Gods image.
The article goes on and conflates the Constitution on an even level with God's Holy law. There are a lot of people pushing Religious Nationalism ideas who are totally oblivious to the fact they are doing it because they see little to no difference between doing Gods will and pushing a political agenda. As I have stated before, we are seeing the culmination of a generation of Christian Americans who believe that the only way to serve God is through politics.....and the idea is to win political points for Jesus. (however they are scored)

"Socialism" and "Communism" are not the same thing.
The main difference is that under communism, most property and economic resources are owned and controlled by the state (rather than individual citizens); under socialism, all citizens share equally in economic resources as allocated by a democratically-elected government. Those "economic resources" are simply funds that the government receives via tax dollars.
The Republicans have been running defense for the rich and wealthy. Rather then redistribute to everyone, they would rather just give to themselves and give tax breaks to their rich friends.
Per Washington Post report:
On Dec. 29, Julie Jenkins Fancelli, daughter of the founder of the Publix grocery store chain, gave the previously undisclosed contribution to RAGA’s nonprofit Rule of Law Defense Fund, or RLDF, records reviewed by The Washington Post show. On the same day, the records show that Fancelli gave $300,000 to Women for America First, the “Stop the Steal” group that obtained a permit for the rally featuring former president Donald Trump. The nonprofit organization paid for a robocall touting a march that afternoon to the U.S. Capitol to “call on Congress to stop the steal.”
The Jan. 6th committee will vote Tuesday on a criminal contempt referral against Steve Bannon. It's slow moving. Procedure has to be followed. The vote is now set for 7:30PM. The committee will ALL vote yes. Once they do, they set up a vote in the House.

In a hypothetical scenario where a Red state like Texas or Florida actually did succeed from the union.... if they survived the initial succession after tearing them apart from the Federal government aid and taxes they already receive (but claim they dont want from Big government). They would put at risk older citizens dependent on things like medicaid and social security, and any natural disasters like destructive hurricanes or tornadoes they would be on their own. Lots of scenarios can be expanded on and all of them not good.
As for establishing their own government..if Texas is an example...they would be largely vigilante justice..and I could see them taking a trip back in history where guns are the rule of law. Whoever leads would have be a fascist authoritarian just in order to survive. The weak would stand little chance. Such a person would have already had to start to build a loyal militia of some kind around him.
I do hear talks of civil war being thrown around as the right wing thinks socialism and communism and Democrats are going to take away all their freedoms (in their deluded mindset they see all three as the same thing). I do see Democracy as stronger...and Trump unwittingly exposed a lot of weak links. They need to shored up and there are two important issues that are imperative to be addressed. The Jan 6 Committee is trying to deal with one...but voting rights is the other one. Republicans are pushing an all out assault on them right now.
The 2022 elections will be extremely important in countering the GOP traitors and may be a last stand in the voting booth. I will likely be expanding on this as I consider the scenarios so consider this part 1.

Just for the record, as I keep seeing the Blame Biden stuff out about high gas prices. The Biden admin did play a part in it but only played a very small part and may be able to correct their part:
The pandemic forced oil and gas providers to shut down, driving supply up, which in turn meant cutting production. OPEC is not wanting to increase their outputs, their daily outputs of crude. So that creates that strain on that part of it. Another part is because natural gas prices have gotten so high, Europe and Asia are having to rely more on crude to produce their power, their electricity and such. So that’s also sucking more of the crude out of the general market there.
The Biden administration has affected U.S. production of crude, though, which now stands at about 11 million barrels a day versus 13 million typically. If they release some of these, these lands for production, you’re going to see daily barrels of oil coming back up, which helps us out.
But, if OPEC would do their job we would see a decrease even sooner.
And, on a side note: had everyone got vaccinated we would have seen the pandemic end sooner.

Donald Trump released an angry statement yesterday after a Georgia judge ruled against an attempt to challenge the 2020 presidential election in Fulton County. Now he is declaring that his supporters will NOT vote in the next election if the 2020 election "fraud" isnt dealt with. Essentially he is saying that if they dont find the fraud that doesnt exist then his supporters will not vote at all. So how does the Trump conundrum get addressed? GOP will likely have to give up what little bit of reality they still cling to. Watch this space.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."

Don Roeser, guitarist and songwriter, Blue Öyster Cult talks about writing the iconic song "Don't Fear The Reaper" in an article in GQ from last August:
"I had an idea that I wanted to write a love story about transcending death. I was 22, and I had a heart arrhythmia, which developed in my late teens. I thought I might not live much longer. A cardiologist said, “It’s not something that’s gonna kill you.” But dying had been on my mind.
So I thought of writing a song about, well, what if one of a couple dies? Is it possible to cross that divide of the mortal coil and reunite somehow? I was writing about characters, but insofar as it related to me personally, it was about me and Sandra. I was thinking about her when I wrote it.
My sensibilities are a little more radio friendly, a little more pop. I grew up with Top 40 radio and R&B radio. I like to rock, but I also like music with sentiment." The complete article is HERE

October 11, 2021:
I believe we are seeing the culmination of an entire generation of American church goers who have been raised their entire life believing that the only productive thing you could do "for Jesus" is to do something with politics.
I think abortion became the topping on that cake. Apparently you could commit many sine but the unforgivable one was abortion..or just not being against it.
The roots of that can be found in the teachings of the late Francis Schaeffer who a few years before he died proclaimed that the most important thing that Christians should be defeating is abortion. Schaeffer carried a lot of weight with the nondeminational/charismatic movements; along with the southern Baptists. That was about 7 years after Roe v Wade. Schaeffer was friends with Dr C Everett Koop who also became a mouthpiece pushing against abortion. Schaeffer died in 1984 but, then, Ronald Reagan made Koop his surgeon general...and voila...the movement began. I was there at the beginning and, at the time, went right along with it. I became a political activist for Jesus. Initially a Democrat... I was told that being a Democrat was not a good Christian witness (by my pastor) and joined the Republicans and the Reagan revolution "for Jesus."
And this is where we are.
Frank Corder over at Y'all Politics (a GOP Mississippi blessed website) exposes his paranoia by writing: "The Democrats’ playbook seems to be to use any spike to advocate for another round of government “relief,” increasing their stranglehold on the U.S. economy through more social programs and cradle-to-grave handouts as they play Robin Hood using “equity” and “fairness” as their primary talking points in their pursuit to appeal to the masses." Here that? the Covid pandemic is all about Democrats trying to take control of the economy!?????? Nothing to connect any dots but he used the words "Democrat playbook" and that makes him look "gosh durn smart" in the eyes of many right wing GOPers. Corder used to be somewhat mainstream GOP back when I was rightwing.....apparently he is now treading water on reality along with the right wingers.

Growing up, many individuals have vivid dreams for the future. Regardless of profession, one wishes to envision goals and achieve them. That may be especially true for people whose mission is the literary and publishing worlds. They long to leave behind a world-changing legacy, creating compelling content—often defined as a book. That was undoubtedly true of Byron Williamson, a young American from the farmlands of North Texas in the late 1940s.

Thus, although I’m not a Democrat, I will continue to vote exclusively for Democrats — as I have done in every election since 2016 — until the GOP ceases to pose an existential threat to our freedom.

Actor George Clooney says in a BBC interview that America is 'like a battered child' after 'knucklehead' Trump's presidency and says former President can't stand his own supporters in real life.
'It's so funny because he was just this knucklehead, I knew him before he was a president. He was just a guy who was chasing girls. Every time you went out, he'd come over and be like: 'What's the name of that girl?' That's all he was.
Clooney: 'And the idea that there's this whole group of people that, you know, that they think he's the champion of which, he certainly can't stand in real life. He's gonna play this out for a while and we'll see where we go with it as a country. My hope is that we have a little better sense than to do that again, my hope.'......The actions of this president have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad and given considerable comfort to our enemies. And whose fault is that? Not really his. He didn't create this situation of fear, he merely exploited it - and rather successfully. 'Cassius was right. 'The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.' Good night, and good luck.'
On a personal note I would add that he especially exploited (and still does) evangelicals and the already non-educated far right wingers (Tea Party , etc) Exploiting people and things for his own purpose is all he knows how to do.

On a personal note I would add that he especially exploited (and still does) evangelicals and the already non-educated far right wingers (Tea Party , etc) Exploiting people and things for his own purpose is all he knows how to do.

Oct 10, 2021: UK Today News: Weaponised supply chains
Much has been written about the US trade representative Katherine Tai’s speech from last week resetting the frame on US-China trade relations. But I’m not sure that it’s been given the proper due as a key turning point in the development of a post-neoliberal narrative. Just like President Joe Biden’s recent executive orders around competition policy, the speech represented a really new message about who the US economy is meant to serve. For the past half century, it’s been consumers, but this White House wants to focus on a different C-word: citizens.

Last week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) went on such a tirade about the GOP position when it comes to raising the debt ceiling, that it promoted quite the viral reaction from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), as Leah reported. Another Democrat, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) has now also taken issue with the speech, specifically the "timing" and because leaders need more "civility" with each other.

Oct 9, 2021:
Charlie Kirk warns that Democrats want "you" living in "sexual anarchy" (I have no idea what that means and I doubt he knows what the word "anarchy" means in the context he used it.) BUT..he is teaching it to kids Kirk has found a new grift...which he calls "His Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"..... when theres an audience around anyway. Charlie Kirk, the 27-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, didn’t start his career claiming to be a servant of God, but all of that changed as he launched a new initiative aimed at leveraging the intense loyalty that many white conservative Christians hold for the Republican Party. In short, Turning Point’s new aim is to reclaim from the left all levels of education and define education as a Christian nationalist dominion. Christian nationalism is a cultural framework that advocates for a fusion between Christianity and American civic life. Adherents are motivated by “assumptions of nativism, white supremacy, patriarchy, authoritarianism, [and] militarism” to view their own personal political beliefs as part of “God’s plan.” In my early days as a Christian and unwittingl;y pushing these ideas it was called "dominionism." Dominant in early charismatic churches...the Calvinistic teaching of people like RJ Rushdoony...and even Voddie Baucham....and, hence, many Southern Baptists (though the SB Convention has seen a recent split over it). We can play the "It's a relationship not a religion" card but by all definitions Christianity is a religion in the eyes of EVERYONE who does not understand relationship first and foremost. "Relationship not a religion" is kind of a deflect mechanism. It's saying yes there are people doing stupid stuff but I am not a part of them because I have relationship. Only you and God know for sure on that point. Hitler knew the power of Christianity when he rose to power in the 30s and played on it..even called himself Christian. He used them to gain power. Reagan did it in the 80s. Trump did it in 2016. Reagan may have had somewhat of a relationship...but that question was answered only when he died and met Jesus. He did bare some fruit, though. Trump, on the other hand, used evangelicals like Hitler did. Pawns in his game of power. ..and still does. Lots of bad things were done in history in the name of "Jesus" including inquisitions and slavery. Trump racked up more than $70 million dollars in losses over a four-year period from his DC hotel while publicly claim it was making 10s of millions - this per documents released by the House Oversight Committee. Trump also falls off Forbes list of America's richest people. This is the first time in 25 years Trump has not been on Forbes 400, with him on the top half of the list from 1997 to 2016 until he became president. Norway to hit 100 per cent electric vehicle sales early next year: the last new petrol or diesel car sold in Norway will come as early as April, 2022 – three years ahead of the government's target. Gas for your car may not be a big deal sooner then we think. A teacher from Puyallup High School (Washington) was placed on administrative leave after anti-vax student recorded her lecturing class on masking up and getting vaccinated. This is the world we live in🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Idaho recanvassed votes from two counties because Mr. Pillow sent them his **damning and totally conclusive** evidence of The Fraud! Result: Recanvass revealed that, actually, Trump got 8 *fewer* votes in Idaho than previously thought. If Trump team keeps recounting theyre gonna find Trump didnt get any votes at all anywhere.

I have seen Franklin Graham on CNN and he talks the Christian talk. But then he goes to Fox or Newmax and goes through a personality change and rambles like an unhinged right wing lunatic where he throws in Jesus name periodically for flavor I guess. . The dude is the epitome of what Christian Nationalism is in American: Dangerously hypocritical with a political agenda decorated with "Christianese." Granted his dad started spouting nonsense way back in the 50s but had a change of heart and didnt address politics going forward. The apple fell far from the tree in Franklins case, but in this case, the apple is rotten.
There was a time when our people believed in science"....then came Trumpism....and we were pushed back to a time when science didnt exist. Terrible plagues and death. Sad.
Newsmax is reporting tonight that Trump will invoke executive privilege in an attempt to block all the subpoenas for former members of his WH staff issued by the bipartisan Select Committee on J6.
What that says to me is he and his staff have lots to hide. It also says his delusion is very strong cuz he thinks he still has "executive privelege"
Moving the debt ceiling due date isnt ending a standoff, it just prolongs it. Paying that debt is critical. A "debt ceiling" has never been "Best Method" but years and years of both parties spending money they dont have has brought us here.
When a Facebook whistle blower appears on 60 minutes and then 12 hours later the site goes down for the longest duration since it launched… gotta wonder if it was "just a coincidence" or something else?

Ali Alexander, the lead organizer of the so-called Stop the Steal movement, received a subpoena Thursday afternoon from the House select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Another two were issued to Nathan Martin, who worked with Alexander and reserved the Jan. 6 rally space, and to the Stop the Steal organization. In response, Alexander accused the government of “gaslighting” and blamed the violence on “agitators dressed in militant outfits” and “police brutality.”

I was amused before Biden became president at the number of people putting status updates about the price of gas so that a year later they would see the post under "memories" indicating how much gas went up. Based, of course, on political rhetoric that Democrats equal socialism so gas prices will go up. If gas prices are still in high in January what their status update wont reveal is that gas prices are up across the world. I noted that last night on a UK panel show I like to watch. But they aren't blaming Biden. Only the truly entrenched minds of the American far right wing will be blaming those "evil socialistic" American Democrats. They will do that regardless of what reality says. Cuz thats what right wing nuts do. Been there done that.
There are two factors that have driven up the price of oil. One is that demand collapsed last year as pandemic measures were implemented and people stopped traveling. The price of oil plummeted. That, in turn, ended up idling 3 million barrels per day (BPD) of U.S. oil production relative to a year ago.
Second, unlike a year ago, OPEC and Russia recently decided to cooperate by extending most of the current output cuts. Despite some recovery in demand, Saudi Arabia kept in place a 1 million BPD cut. That decision sent oil prices sharply higher, and will likely ensure additional gains in gasoline prices. There are some other factors on a smaller scale that make an impact but not directly related to presidential politics.
The Keystone pipeline may have an effect at some point and could rightly be pointed toward the Biden administration. But the move toward electric cars will decrease the demand for gas and gas companies may actually have to cut prices to push surplus and a Keystone Pipeline may be at some point irrelevant to anything.
Mike Pence claims that the media’s continued reporting on the Jan. 6 insurrection is aimed at demeaning supporters of former President Trump. The only reason Mike Pence is able to say this stuff--no matter how stupid it is--is because Capitol police kept him from being hung. No big deal though apparently because.......Trump.

In a blog post-Monday by Facebook, that the six-hour outage that took it offline along with Instagram, Messenger, Whatsapp, and OculusVR was the result of a configuration change to its routers — not of a hack or attempt to get at user data. The explanation doesn’t give much in the way of detail, but it seems like Facebook’s machines weren’t able to talk to one another — Facebook says that “this disruption to network traffic had a cascading effect on the way our data centers communicate, bringing our services to a halt.”

As far as raising the debt ceiling, I dont think the GOP is interested in saving the nation by paying off debts accrued by the Trump administration. It's kind of a version of the Trump psychosis where if he doesn't get control of something he will burn it down. GOP now has that psychosis. If they cant control it they will burn it down. It's been their approach with Covid and has cost plenty of lives....but, for them, the deaths are just collateral damage.

Oct 4, 2021: Flagler Live: The Dishonesties of Cherry-Picking Bible Verses
A devout evangelical Christian friend of mine recently texted to explain why he was not getting the COVID-19 vaccine. “Jesus went around healing lepers and touched them without fear of getting leprosy,” he said.
This story that St. Luke tells in his gospel (17:11-19) is not the only Bible verse I have seen and heard evangelical Christians use to justify anti-vaccine convictions. Other popular passages include Psalm 30:2: “Lord, I called to you for help, and you healed me.”; 1 Corinthians 6:19: “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit?”; and Leviticus 17:11: “For the life of a creature is in the blood.”
All of these verses have been lifted out of context and repurposed to buttress the anti-vaccine movement. As a historian of the Bible in American life, I can attest that such shallow reading in service of political and cultural agendas has long been a fixture of evangelical Christianity.

"If you’re going to take over the administrative state and deconstruct it, then you have to have shock troops prepared to take it over immediately" Steve Bannon told GOP members at an event on Wednesday what the next GOP President has to do to to take over the US government. He predicts certain wins in 2022 and then 2024 to make the coup successful. This time they will "have a MAGA perspective, MAGA policies, not the standard Republican policies." This is essentially seditious treason. But who will enforce the laws??
"It's not my job in a fast-moving case to go out and investigate every piece of evidence that's given to me." -Rudy Giuliani in part of his court confession that his election charges were fraudulant and that the false evidence came from Facebook posts. He is now on the record as stating his whole case as a fraud. On a side note, when his phones were seized by court order he had EIGHTEEN disposable phones. Cuz thats what criminals in a high tech world do now to try and cover their tracks.
"Churches should pay taxes" is being pounded right now because of the Trumpvangelical pastors that use their church as a political pulpit. Their tax exemption allows them to not pay taxes but they have to NOT weaponize their church like a political action committee.
I kinda think the churches that do that should have their tax exemption removed. After all, it is a legal part of the agreement they sign off on to get that exemption. The churches that are in compliance should remain tax exempt. Churches should have better things to do then get involved in politics.

The Canada Border Services Agency arrested the pastor last week for two outstanding warrants — one for not wearing a face mask and another for holding a church service in June.

He has an upcoming court hearing on Oct. 13, where a judge will decide whether he'll be sentenced to 21 days in jail for "contempt of court" for holding worship services in violation of lockdown restrictions.

Texas lawmakers Louie Gohmert, Randy Weber, Van Taylor & Dan Crenshaw have all been fined this year for dodging Capitol metal detectors that were put up after the Jan 6 riot.
All four of these congressmen knew the rioters weren't coming for them, anyway, because the rioters were only going to confront the people who respected laws and the Democratic process....and hang Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi.......attack and kill policemen........wave Confederate and Trump 2020 flags... ......you know, like how Rep. Andrew Clyde and Paul Gosar do whenever they go on a normal tourist visit to the Capitol.
I can count on zero fingers the number of times I went to the US Capitol as a tourist and decided to hang a vice president....

Cortez Masto can call Homeland Security for help but she knows that ultimately, immigration reform and immigration law are jobs of Congress. And currently, it is failing miserably, she said.
"I'll be the first to admit and I will tell you that we have a broken immigration system and it is Congress' job to fix it," she said. "And I've been working here to try to fix it but we need bipartisan support. We've got to stop playing politics with it."

So the Pro Trump Confederates want to succede from the union?. I think they've romanticized it into something they dont understand..but, then again, the delusions have always been strong for them. When I think of a Maga Confederacy of its own the only thing that comes to mind is "The Handmaids Tale". 😳 If you are an American Christian and are more offended if I take a jab at Republicans rather than various Christian doctrines...then you might be a Christian Nationalist. Say three prayers and call God in the morning. Fox News host Martha MacCallum said it “kills” her that New Jersey has a program that gives “free lunch” to school children. Seemingly out of nowhere. she added “So, those kids are all going to grow up thinking, well, school lunch is free, right?” Her guest was former Trump economic adviser Larry Kudlow, so I suspect thats why the confusion over whether a kid thinks free lunch is free or whether they think its free or free or free free. Maybe they were rehearsing a Turbo Tax commercial. A Texas judge has ruled default judgements against Alex Jones and Infowars in two separate Sandy Hook cases. He will now be liable for all damages and a jury will now be convened to determine how much he will owe the plaintiffs. This isn't the end of Jones' legal woes either. Seven other Sandy Hook families are currently suing him for the lies he spread about their dead children. The world will be a better place without his lies and conspiracies. Eric Clapton says "Enough is enough" on Covid policies in new song. Cuz when I need medical advice I wait for a Clapton album. David Lee Roth announces he is retiring. So if youre still waiting for a follow up to his last hit in 1988..it aint gonna happen. |
In 1974 Woodward and Bernstein wrote a book which gave great revelation to what was going on behind the scenes during the Watergate scandal. Title is fitting because so many of Nixons men were implicated and charged with high crimes and misdemeanors. The only thing similar to that and all the charges and revelations about the Trump administration is that many of Trumps "Men" are going down.....while Trump remains free and he always "knows nothing" about anything....which is not what his "Men" say. Trump's criminal activity makes Nixon look like he simply cheated at a Bingo game.
While the initial surge of Covid-19 deaths skipped over much of rural America, where roughly 15 percent of Americans live, nonmetropolitan mortality rates quickly started to outpace those of metropolitan areas as the virus spread nationwide before vaccinations became available, according to data from the Rural Policy Research Institute.

As vaccine mandates across the country are beginning to take effect, some mainstream media outlets have focused on the small number of people who have resigned or been fired for refusing to comply, rather than the efficacy of mandating vaccinations through employers.

Pat Robertson on Donald Trump:
“You know, with all his talent and the ability to be able to raise money and grow large crowds, the president still lives in an alternate reality. He really does. People say, ‘Well, he lies about this, that and the other.’ But no, he isn’t lying; to him, that’s the truth. You go down the line of things that really aren’t true, and, you know, people kept pointing to them, but because they loved him so much and he was so strong for the evangelicals — the evangelicals were with him all the way — but there was something about him that was good, that God placed him in that office for the time.” -

Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers recently attended an Intercessors For America livestream and said, "This is our Declaration of Independence. This is our manifesto of freedom."
The "This" is the fraudit that the state used tax dollars to pay a shady group of unknowns who call themselves the Cyber Ninjas. The fact that now Intercessors For America is going to push the narrative is more of the embracing of Christian Nationalism....which fits right well with words like "fraudit" and "Cyber Ninjas." As a former supporter of IFA it looks like now it claiming the arm of God through prayer to push the Inquisition of Modern Christianity even pushing anti-vax nonsense.
Ever notice Magas latch on to stupid and untrue stuff and then embrace it forever: Hillarys emails, Hunters laptop, Biden's "dementia", Obamas birth certificate, etc. etc etc.....and it's all after Donald Trump gaslights and throws it out to them like red meat to a hungry wolf. The wolf, however, has the sense to eat the meat and move on. Mags not so much.
Regardless of the truth, though, they just keep going and going and going with it (and patting themselves on the back cuz they think they are so clever) and then throw it out again even if it has nothing to with the subject being discussed. Cultishly insane.

Possible run by Liz Cheney for President in 2024. Unless environment changes she may be a longshot but I would like to see her run because she would be very vocal against Trump or any pro-Trump contender. Personally I dont think Trump is going to run.
The South Dakota Attorney General is investigating Kristi Noem's suspicious meeting with a government employee who denied her daughter a real estate license and then reversed the decision and resigned with a $200,000 payout. There is a rumored but unverifiable story floating about Noem and an affair.
Matthew Dowd has announced his plans to run against Dan Patrick for Lt Gov of Texas. Dowd was chief strategist for George W Bush’s campaign & will enter the Lt Gov race as a Democrat
Voddie Baucham says “Critical race theory is at odds with Christianity because it takes the problem of racism out of the individual heart and puts it out there somewhere in systems and structures.” I would agree but I dont think the application is realistic albeit could apply to a smaller demographic of the American church as a whole. And by that I mean that I know there are Christians who understand the best place to deal with racism is "in the heart." However, there is a whole movement of evangelicals now who are embracing white supremacy just through the people associated with Donald Trump. It's no mistake that white supremacists embrace Trump and Trump embraces them back. There are Maga evangelicals who push the Bible and racism all the time..particularly in social media.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned Tuesday that the US government will run out of money on October 18 unless Congress boosts the federal borrowing cap.

Right wingers never believe anyone else has thought out an issue or successfully discerned the meaning of a matter. If you do not agree with them they tell you you have been brainwashed by the media (and then they throw some Media source at you which they already admitted they don't watch or read) or that you've been brainwashed by some talking points of a socialist/communist/liberal/Democrat (to them these are all the same...but you could also add the labels "demonic" to the list).
Christian Nationalists tend to label themselves two things: Constitutional Conservatives or Prolifers. I'm not opposed to either..but I dont suffer the delusion of Christian Nationalism, though I admit that I did unwittingly for many years. On the issue of Constitutional Conservative they kid themselves...and have some bizarre selfish interpretation of what it is and what it says. Or there are lay people like Ted Cruz who has a history of Constitutional law but has suddenly started to ignore it and reinterpret it.
On the "Prolife" issue they say they're just against baby killers and its the weapon they use to guilt the uneducated into their delusions. I have never met a person who was going to get an abortion who was going to do it because they want to kill babies. The issue is deeper than that.

What's the difference between Donald Trump and a government bond? The bond will eventually mature.
Sept 27, 2021:
“The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Illuminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory.
The truth is far more frightening - Nobody is in control.
The world is rudderless.” - Alan Moore, the writer of Watchmen, V for Vendetta
Interesting insight. I think he's right about conspiracies bringing more comfort to people who are "rudderless"...it's the way of the word void of God. Personally I am not rudderless and know that God is at the helm.
SHORTS: Raising the debt ceiling is not about future debt. It's for payment of credit spent by the Trump administration who incurred $7.8 Trillion in debt. R&B star R. Kelly convicted in sex trafficking & racketeering trial...meanwhile Matt Gaetz is still under investigation and unindicted.
The far right wing of the Republican party AND the Christian right has long been a natural magnet to conspiracies. They tend to be reactionaries whether information is true or not. Personally I believe it gives them a sense of power....and once it comes to that point....even reality usually cant stop it. QANonsense highlighted it this last year but Q just took the conspiracies theories that the Right wingers already hold and amplified them and embellished them with stupid. Q may go but conspiracy theories still thrive. If Q did anything good they opened up some people to realizing the conspiracies were there and had been all the time.
There are a couple Supreme Court rulings in the last 60 years that have inspired a more complex network of conspiracy driven Christian Nationalists that now have members sitting in the Congress of the USA. I was inspired this morning to start an article for my website about the Engel v. Vitale (1962) SCOTUS ruling which sits at a foundation of conspiracy driven right wing movements and the move toward Christians moving away from being any influence in Public education...through which they began creating a self-fulfilling prophecy...and maybe a self created monster for them to battle. As I started writing it opened up a lot of things that are realated...so it may end up being longer than I initially thought.
Roe V Wade is another SCOTUS case which created a movement which eventually became the beginning of the Church becoming a Political action Committee.
As a former right winger I pushed all the conspiracies and used the language. Facts were irrelevant...just someone saying something implying this is the way God is moving or that our efforts will defend against the demonic influences in our country. I was also initially converted from atheism/agnosticism into a Charismatic church a decade or two after the beginnings of what the charismatic movement or "latter rain" which would become (mostly not good). 'Charismania" has a larger influence than many understand and tenets have spread into many denominations..especially the Southern Baptists.
More coming soon.
“The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Illuminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory.
The truth is far more frightening - Nobody is in control.
The world is rudderless.” - Alan Moore, the writer of Watchmen, V for Vendetta

Sept 26, 2021: Milwaukee Independent: A TOOL OF WHITE SUPREMACY: WHY CHRISTIAN FACTIONS DENY THE EXISTENCE OF STRUCTURAL RACISM
The debate over critical race theory has played out in TV studios, school board meetings and state legislatures across the United States. It has also found its way into churches.

Sept 25, 2021:
The GOP has become a festering boiling pot of paranoia. They dont believe science. They pick the news they want to believe. They ask for recounts and then dont believe the recount..so they ask for another recount. They have no concept of what a democracy or even a Democrat is. They would rather sacrifice grandma and grandpa then submit to the tyranny of a vaccine. They claim to embrace free speech unless they disagree with it. They embrace the second amendment but have no concept of what it means. In fact very few--if any-- know what the Constitution is all about.
The real problem for America is that these idiots are becoming increasingly violent and belligerent. AND, to make it even worse, they believe they are operating in God's will because Jesus will be pleased with them for "fixing" America by essentially making it not America any more (see "Inquisition" ). They have torn Romans 13 out of their Bibles. Most of them are being empowered through the ramblings of a certifiable text book psychotic living in Florida.
Yesterday, right wing extremist Marjorie Taylor Greene yelled over and interrupted an event being held by Democrats on the Capitol steps. The shouting match ended by her stamping off and YELLING “Try being a Christian and supporting life.” I dont care what side of the abortion issue you are on but an Inquisition is NOT a substitute for the Great Commission. BUT, it brings to life to me how someone could end up before Jesus some day saying "I did this and this and this in your name" but Jesus will say "Go. I never knew you."
Some of the worst atrocities in history were done in the name of religion. It bothers me that Christianity may be labeled as one of those causes in the 21st Century.

Megyn Kelly gained notoriety for calling Trump out in the debates. Now she's kissing up to all the Magas. The delusion is strong with these folks.
If they were a rock group they'd be called: Donald Trump and his AssKKKissers
