Pastor Tony Spell is a man who takes his texts seriously. He believes in the plain truth of the Bible and the First Amendment. And that’s why Life Tabernacle Church in Baton Rouge, La., has been celebrating Christmas as usual this year. In person. In the presence of God. Pastor Spell told me 31 buses from Life Tabernacle were set to leave the parking lot and bring poor children from an 80-mile radius back to church for a Christmas service and gift-giving event. On a typical Sunday 647 children participate, but Christmas was e...
It’s my fervent hope the two Georgia Senate runoff elections are the last time conservatives will be forced to vote for Republicans because no conservative alternatives exist. For over 30 years conservatives have been told by the rich who run the Republican party that we have no choice but to hold our nose and vote for candidates who will turn on us immediately after they’re sworn into office. Republican election victories don’t mean conservatives will win anything. It only means conservatives will lose slower. Compare what O...
Christmas online sales are predicted to increase 33 percent to a record of $189 billion, according to the wizards at Adobe Analytics. Merry Winter Break Jeff Bezos! What this means for consumers is you’re being drafted into the Gig Economy. The completely oblivious professional liars in Amazon corporate PR explain, “The holidays are typically overwhelming — between shopping for gifts, preparing family meals and getting the house ready for guests — but for many, this season may look a little different.” I’ll say. Amazon want...
I could not have been more wrong about how the election would affect the Great Pandemic Panic. I assumed that if Biden won, or the left could claim he won, the WuFlu would be consigned to the hazmat container of history. Why lockdown the country, bankrupt businesses and put school children under house arrest if the results can’t be blamed on Trump? What I failed to anticipate was how much leftist governors and their pet bureaucrats would enjoy newfound powers under what Candace Owens calls “diet fascism.” They like order...
It is now obvious that Joe Biden’s presidential “victory” has entered the fabled realm of “settled science.” And in record time. What took global warming a decade to achieve, Biden accomplished in less than a week. The gloves are now officially off. Anyone who questions Biden’s “victory” will be canceled. And the Kancel Kommissars have greatly expanded their reach. It’s not just the big fish. It’s any fish. Kommissars landed me Wednesday morning and blocked my little Twitter account. (@ReluctantUser2 if you’re interested.)...
I have good news for all you compulsive mask wearers. The wait is over. Your guidance is here. The bureaucrats who run Nannyfornia have finally issued the rules for observing Thanksgiving. Assuming you’re willing to try and cheat death for a holiday that was created by dead white men. Even though this is the first edition of “Rules for a Safe Thanksgiving,” and will no doubt be refined and expanded in future years, the edict is remarkable for its comprehensive nature. Gov. Gavin Newsome’s Flu Manchu regime covers eight integr...
I’m convinced Jared Kushner is responsible for creating the Trump Administration HR operation that’s the Chernobyl of Human Resources. Once he pushed Chris Christie out, the resulting multitude of personnel mistakes belong to him. It’s just been one D’oh!ed thing after another in Kushner’s disastrous wake. By painful experience, mostly chronicled in the leaks on the front page of the Opposition Media, the new personnel folks learned it’s not a good idea to hire alligators if the goal of the boss is to drain the swamp. The...
There exists a type of country club conservative that desperately wants to fit in after being elected. The cultural issues most important to the base are cringe inducing for these squishy Republicans. Abortion, immigration, term limits, fighting consonant crusaders and America First might be briefly discussed during the campaign, but are avoided after taking the oath of office. Slippery, shape-shifting GOP elected officials in state capitals and Washington could be eliminated if state Republican parties insisted candidates...
Pastors are belatedly coming to the conclusion that letting Caesar decide when and where they can worship was a bad idea from the beginning. The fact the vast majority of churches meekly shut down and surrendered Easter demonstrated how deeply secular culture has penetrated the pastorate. These collaborationists forgot the one time Jesus lost his temper was when secular concerns were interfering with the worship of God inside the temple. Pastors evidently confused meek with weak and that faulty thinking dominated their Flu...
I’ve been watching anarchy and lawlessness take control of our streets in major cities. I don’t imagine I’m alone, either. Viewers are exposed everywhere to scenes of mindless chaos. Meanwhile, on Opposition Media outlets, the carbon-intensive “peaceful protests” are met with universal approval. Occasionally an anchor or guest visiting from the world of reality will express some qualms regarding wanton destruction, but that mild observation is waved away with the equivalent of boys will be boys — assuming leftists ar...
The New York Times has a story that’s entertaining reading for conservatives. It concerns a mostly white, solidly leftist neighborhood so inspired by the death of George Floyd at the hands of a rogue policeman, they decided to volunteer to become victims, too. Rapidly the residents of Minneapolis’ Powderhorn Park began living in Powderkeg Park. Almost en masse, the “progressive neighbors have vowed to avoid calling law enforcement into their community. Doing so … would add to the pain that black residents of Minneap...
The most remarkable impact coronavirus has on America is the sight of pastors waiting, like dogs anticipating a treat, until Caesar gives them permission to start rendering unto God. You couldn’t have convinced me in March that Baptist preachers would cancel Easter services. Easter is the central pivot of Christianity. Without the Resurrection, Christianity is pointless. As Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 15:14, “And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.” The birth of Christ (Christm...
After years of Russia, Russia, Russia and a few months of Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, we now have another bunch of foreigners interfering in our presidential election. The difference is the Opposition Media welcomes this interference because of the damage it may do to President Trump’s re-election. While Russian interference was invisible and the results negligible, Chinese interference — while also invisible — has tangible results. The natural, catchy term for this interference would be the Chinese flu. It’s not entirel...
