Christian Zionist Pastor John MacArthur Joins Antichrist Zionist Jew Ben Shapiro in Promoting Genocide In Gaza

I must admit that this report is one of the most nauseating news accounts of a Christian pastor that I have ever encountered. I would count it as one of the most egregious betrayals of Christ’s New Covenant by a “Christian minister” that I have ever witnessed. The Scripture tells us, Ye that love the LORD, hate evil. (Psalm 97:10). Well, this is pure evil.

Chris Menahan has the report:

“It wasn’t until the Persians completely wiped out the Amalekites that God’s will was fulfilled in that judgmen...

The Safest Zones in the US. Do You Live Near One?

You might be looking at your nation a little differently lately.

There have always been dangerous neighborhoods and boroughs. Places like Compton, Kensington, and Camden might come to mind when you think of places that have a reputation for crime. Some of these areas have actually improved from when I was child. However, there are lots of places all around this nation that have been dangerous and many that are getting worse.

The move towards lawlessness in many of our biggest cities has been bro...

SCOTUS Decision on Gun Rights Is the Proverbial ‘Camel’s Nose’

Editor’s note: This piece includes some satire.

The recent SCOTUS decision in United States v. Rahimi, which allows for the ban of certain firearms and limited magazine capacities in certain jurisdictions, allows leftists to take a victory lap and salivate at the possibilities of nuanced, back-door legislation. Amendments with new-and-improved workarounds and emergency implementation will certainly follow the next mass shooting, just as long as it’s a spree that fits the narrative—we’re not coun...

The Dreadful Continuity of British Foreign Policy

Robert Wright doesn’t think much of the foreign policy direction of the new Labour government in Britain:

[Labour shadow foreign secretary] Lammy depicts his foreign policy vision as new, but it’s pretty much the same vision that has long guided his party and comparable western parties, including the Democratic Party in America. And this vision is, in critical respects, not very different from the neoconservatism that has dominated Republican foreign policy for most of the past few decades. Lamm...

A Bureaucratic Fairy Tale: The Synthetic Fuels Corporation

I was cleaning out the cave (French basement or storage room) the other day. Besides a few bottles of wine, my stuff consisted of my old golf clubs (I played quite a bit in the US, not at all in France) and a few boxes from when I moved to France 18 years ago. One unopened box was given to me by CK even earlier when I moved away from San Antonio, TX in the 90s. CK was one of the main characters around my life at the Bombay Bicycle Club, a local bar in Brackenridge Park (see my description here)....

Trump’s Return: Get Ready for Chaos To Be Unleashed and Blamed on You

Yeah, it’s happening. The last half of 2024 is shaping up to be one of the most politically insane in a century and the sparks are already flying. The biggest moment of absurdity so far might be the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, in which it was made abundantly clear for all the world to see that Biden is on the fast track to crazy town. We’ve been saying for four years that the guy is gone, a dementia case propped up and protected by the DNC and the media. Now, it...

Economies of the West Are Spiraling Abysmally

The US Dollar is the tenth strongest currency in the world …  despite having the largest economy by GDP in the world.   The top three currencies are Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman.   Eight  African Colonies of France were required to trade in the French Franc creating an artificial strength in currency valuation.   In 2021, the Euro was valued at 1.234, today the value has dropped to 1.083 a drop of 12.25%.  Good for exports, bad for imports.  When imports drop, cost of goods rises as demand is forcib...

The Democrats Have an October Surprise That Could Win the Election

You might recall the 1980 Surprise. Reagan running against Carter.

The Reagan team was accused of making a deal with the government of Iran to hold on to American hostages until after the election.

Because, if Jimmy Carter could secure their release just before Election Day, he could be swept back into office on a tide of enthusiasm.

The hostages were released, just after Reagan was inaugurated.

Now, in 2024, there are strong possibilities for another Surprise. The Biden administration tells Zel...

Is It the Guns?

Every time there’s a tragic incidence of gun violence, I read the claim on social media, “it’s the guns!” implying a causal relationship between the availability of firearms and violent crime. The concomitant corollary is that restrictions on gun ownership would reduce violence and lead to the peaceful society we all want. I don’t believe this is the case, and will explain why.

I concede that the claim “it’s the guns!” has some element of truth in it. A gun is a more effective and lethal means o...
