The Real Paid “Crisis Actors”

So over the last couple of days, the filthy blood-soaked Gun Cult has done what it always does: move from telling everybody to shut up about calling for gun control “out of respect for the victims in this time of tragedy” to sending death threats to the victims of Parkland. No. Really. And this is […]

The New Lie

The herd of conservative gun cultists have a new lying meme they are all repeating. You may have heard it: “The NRA has to be the only organization in the world that consistently gets blamed for crimes that its members did not commit.” Here’s reality: The NRA are accomplices to murder because they buy politicians […]

Why has no one given Stephen Pastis a Pulitzer yet?

Europe Tries to Stage an Intervention

The reflexive response of the American Gun Cult, of course, is “What does Europe know?” Well, among other things, despite having more godless people and just as much mental illness, and just as many people with with wicked hearts and just as many video games and less prayer in schools and all the other things […]

Watching Information Warfare Play Out in Real Time

Whenever there is a mass shooting, the Gun Cult immediately says that critics of our Gun Regime that enables mass shooting must be silent, “out of respect for the victims”. Decent people understand respect for victims does not mean “Shut up about trying to prevent the last slaughter.”  But the Gun Cult has no interest […]

Gun Education is *so* important

Fun fact: Nikolas Cruz got that all-important gun training that prevents shooting from his NRA-funded high school rifle club. Other fun fact: His sweet MAGA hat hid a brain full of racism and anti-semitism, which he trained at Jewish targets in particular at his school. Other fun fact: The NRA kept mum about Philando Castile’s […]

Prayer request for our friend Gloria…

She is in ICU with dangerously low sodium levels and they fear for her life. Father, grant Gloria complete healing in body, soul, and spirit.  Give her caregivers grace, compassion, wisdom, counsel, knowledge, skill, creativity, insight, understanding and the proper technology to assist in her complete healing and give her and all who love her […]

A Christian approach to Gun Rights and the State

“The real problem is the human heart. Until we fix that, there is no point in passing gun laws” is, in fact, a profoundly anti-Christian statement. What the Church teaches and has always taught is that it is utterly delusional to believe that the human heart will be “fixed” in this life and that it […]

Peggy Noonan has an interesting proposal

She suggests that we should all write our senators and congressmen to bring back the 20 week abortion ban for a vote and in exchange conservatives will give on the assault weapon ban again. I wonder if the fanatics on both sides will succeed in stopping such an eminently sensible proposal or if the reasonable […]
