Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
Evangelicals forsaking Christianity for Trumpism Evangelical Christians made clear way back in 2015 that they were willing to sacrifice their faith, even abandon all common sense, to support Donald Trump. More to the point, this diabolical shyster realized right away that the more he insults their intelligence and defiles their religion, the more they support him. They keep proving… Read more.
Speaker Mike Johnson is flip-flopping on everything from single-party impeachment to FISA surveillance. And the liberal media are having a field day lampooning the self-righteous way he expresses his hypocrisy. It’s enough to make the Almighty God think Johnson is a delusional psychopath. Congressional Republicans are as animated by mutiny nowadays as they are by hypocrisy. Given this, he probably… Read more.
Jews, God’s chosen people Speaker Mike Johnson is a Bible-thumping, scripture-quoting zealot. He thinks God ordained him to be House Speaker. And, like most MAGA Republicans, he wears his evangelical Christianity on his sleeve. I am the son of an evangelical preacher man.

The Evangelical-Jewish Alliance I have always found the… Read more.
So where’s the outrage?! But just imagine it, especially among Evangelical Christians in the United States, if Palestinians were doing this: Christians in the Gaza Strip will not be allowed to visit holy cities such as Bethlehem and Jerusalem to celebrate Christmas this year, Israeli authorities said on Thursday. … Israel tightly restricts movements out… Read more.
Evidently, America’s evangelical Christians think so. What’s more, one of their deacons induced Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to say as much: In an interview in Jerusalem, the Christian Broadcast Network’s Chris Mitchell asked Pompeo, ‘could it be that President Trump right now has been sort of raised for such a time as this, just… Read more.
President Trump has a notorious habit of variously taking credit for successes he had little to do with and praising things, only to see them fail. For example: He took credit for Ford’s decision to keep a manufacturing plant in Kentucky instead of moving it to Mexico. But then Ford announced that it never intended… Read more.
