“We have entered, as I see it, a spiritual limbo. Our educational institutions are no longer the bearers of high culture, and public life has been deliberately moronised. But here and there, sheltered from the noise and glare of the media, the old spiritual forces are at work” Roger Scruton

“Jesus prayed, “This is eternal life, that they may know You . . .” (John 17:3). The real meaning of eternal life is a life that can face anything it has to face without wavering. If we will take this view, life will become one great romance— a glorious opportunity of seeing wonderful things all the time. God is disciplining us to get us into this central place of power.” Oswald Chambers

To those who have had no agony Jesus says, “I have nothing for you; stand on your own feet, square your own shoulders. I have come for the man who knows he has a bigger handful than he can cope with, who knows there are forces he cannot touch; I will do everything for him if he will let Me. Only let a man grant he needs it, and I will do it for him.” The Shadow of an Agony,Oswald Chambers

Capitalism seeks to help others through a servce or product it provides. Free Market Capitalism is the most moral and fair economic system available to man. Capitalism augments personal growth, responsibility and ownership. Charity flourishes under capitalism. Charity dies under subjective “fair share” government confiscatory policies. Socialism redistributes ambivalence and greed.

“We are to regard existence as a raid or great adventure; it is to be judged, therefore, not by what calamities it encounters, but by what flag it follows and what high town it assaults. The most dangerous thing in the world is to be alive; one is always in danger of one’s life. But anyone who shrinks from that is a traitor to the great scheme and experiment of being.” G.K. Chesterton

Turn the Page on The Kamalians
October 31, 2024 Leave a comment
Turn the Page on The Kamalians, the horror anthology involving predator alien species on earth. Haven’t we had enough of these elite power-seeking hunters stalking us? Haven’t we had enough of their media cloaking devices and social-imaging technology?
The formidable Kamalians are cruel and brutal in their quest. For their trophies, they primarily target the vulnerable little guy – low and middle-class individuals such as the working-class male. Their target’s collateral damage has included the cities of Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, and Minneapolis.
The Kamalians are capable of both mercy and reason but have not shown either during the course of their stalking us. Their weapons include auto-targeting name calling, lecturing whips, and netguns of injustice. You know they are nearby when you hear their annoying tongue clicking and loud cackling
Sadly, Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who at one time battled the vicious Kamalians, has joined the Kamalians (Brain damage?).
Reliable word on the street has it that the horror anthology is about to come to an end. Wall Street knows who will win the election. Trillions of dollars are moving into one corner of the market – energy. Smart money is preparing for a Trump landslide and Republicans taking the house. The looming predatory threat portrayed by The Kamalians is about to be put in check by a new Dutch and a new anthology. (Don’t take this news for granted! Go vote early! The Kamalians play smashmouth, they are not bound by strict codes of honor.)
The New York Times runs through several scenarios to “neutralize” the so-called Trump threat, finally landing on their fifth and most desperate option—which just so happens to be the one we’re likely facing right now. This last-ditch scenario should scare the living daylights out of any sane American. This is the “color revolution” or “civil war” option. (Emphasis mine.)

American Citizenship and Its Decline: The Unelected Deep State
On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the rapid growth of the federal government introducing Victor Davis Hanson.
Citizenship is rare in human history but essential to free government. Today, the constitutional rule of citizens in America is threatened by a new form of government, unaccountable to the people, in which power is held by a ruling class that seeks to transform our society. In this eight-lecture course, students will examine the origins and history of citizenship in the West and the grave challenges American citizenship faces today.
The growth of an administrative deep state in America places massive government power outside the control of American citizens. These unaccountable agencies determine the rules that govern society, execute those rules, and settle disputes, and they wield these combined powers to undermine the constitutional operations of American government.

Character counts: The Character of the Kamala Party
Low and middle-class individuals who espouse the end of being lectured to, the end of high inflation, the end of the forced anti-God anti-reality secularization of the country, and the end of the administrative state are being called “fascists”, “nazis”, “chumps”, “deplorables”, irredeemables”, “dregs”, “clingers”, “white supremacists” by Democrat elitists who are so used to talking down to people they think beneath them.
And now we are called “garbage.”
President Biden raged against “Kill Tony” podcast host Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage” and suggested that was a good description for supporters of former President Donald Trump.
“Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community,” Biden said during a campaign call at the White House Tuesday first reported by NBC. “Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage.”
“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s unAmerican.”

Biden’s remark, as it was understood by many on the right, mirrored Clinton’s infamous 2016 denunciation of Trump supporters as a “basket of deplorables,” a comment that Clinton later said she regretted and helped energize Trump’s base in the weeks before that election.

These Are Trump’s X-Men | Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
The safety and livelihood of women and girls have been increasingly threatened and encroached upon. Embarrassingly few government officials seem to really care, much less do anything about it – including the administration that’s currently propping up the sitting Vice President as the champion for change, despite her having done virtually nothing in the last four years. If this seems severe, it’s because we’re living in a dire situation that stands to get worse.

New York Post:
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spent $911 million of taxpayer money on a massive COVID-19 vaccination promotion campaign that lied about masking, vaccines and boosters — and “consistently overstated” the risk of the virus to children, according to a shocking House committee report. (Emphasis mine.)
Dr. Robert Malone:
What was done to us by our government during the COVID crisis was deeply, morally wrong. It was more than wrong, it was evil. It violated virtually every previously established principle of medical ethics. It sought to weaponize a falsely inflated risk of an infectious disease to promote fear of death, and then exploit that fear to shape behavior, reprogram our minds, and advance a series of financial, political and organizational objectives.

Evangelicals For Harris is not even pretending to be a Christian organization. But despite their theological failings and their recent Zoom meeting where their female pastors clucked over how pro-abortion they were, Evangelical For Harris is not actually a movement within the church. Rather, it is a clumsy yet well-funded attempt to counterfeit Christianity. But even its founder, Jim Ball, a long time environmentalist is not nearly as smooth or cunning as many liberals in Evangelicalism.
In a recent interview on News Nation, a liberal cable news channel, Jim Ball waffled on a question about trangenderism indoctrination in schools.
