'Christian Nationalism'

Original Article

Washington Post associate editor and New York Times columnist freaked out on Friday’s PBS NewsHour at the news that Republicans selected Mike Johnson to be the new Speaker of the House by portraying him as a “far-right” religious extremist out to impose “Christian nationalism” on the country. Noting Johnson’s relative obscurity, Capehart predicted, “And the more information we find out about him and the more information the American people find out about him, the more I think they're going to be uncomfortable, from his pushing for a national abortion ban, to introducing legislation for a federal so-called Don't Say Gay Bill, his comments on homosexuality and same-sex marriage.”

Christian nationalism is a wonderful, excellent thing to promote. And it is especially wonderful that PBS hates it in public, because that just proves how hideously evil, hateful and anti-American PBS is.

I take it Christian Nationalism is an object of condemnation in their book. I am a Christian (Reformed Episcopal) and a Nationalist (I love my country above all others combined and recognize the sovereignty and superiority of the USA). I guess I don’t quite measure up to the standards of PBS. I’ll try to get over it.

There's a rabbi in our community who has loudly been decreeing that Christians must be feared at all costs because we want to take over the government and turn it into a theocracy. And just today post 10/07 he authored a piece in the Sunday paper extolling his wonderful friendships with local Muslim leaders and how helpful they've been to him as he seeks to understand their religion. He's even worshipped with them!! How wonderful that was!! (Oddly, no local Muslim has ever worshipped with any Jewish congregation...I wonder why.). I'm afraid this rabbi is getting snookered in a major way since he's clueless concerning who his TRUE friends are. I hope his choice of "friends" doesn't end up biting him in the butt.

Until the 1950s, nearly all Americans were "Christian nationalists." And then the country took a turn for the worst. A liberal Supreme Court banned prayer in schools, the anti-American socialists took over universities and public schools and domestic communists infiltrated our government.

I think Speaker Johnson is exactly someone who is needed for our times! I also think that a Majority of Republicans have been waiting for someone exactly like him. We desperately need someone to turn this country around. We need someone who is not afraid to use common sense. I think The Speaker is just that Guy! I would love to see him slash and burn his way through this next year. Get rid of all the garbage he can. He already said he is going to take One Bill at a time, not put Two or three and bundle them together, which is Biden wants him to do, and hand out Billions to Ukraine and Israel and God know who else (I'm sure there would be a few Billion going into Biden's pocket). Johnson said no! Not going to work that way! He's off to a good start in my opinion!

Why do they fear Jesus Christ so much? Jesus suffered brutal punishment, was shunned by His own people, and worse yet, was forsaken by the other two members of the Holy Trinity for 3 hours while God the Father imputed the sins of the entire world in His sinless body for judgement on a Roman Cross of crucifixion. Jesus Himself said to the Samaritan woman in John 4:14; "but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” Doesn't everyone want a drink of living water of eternal life? So why does Jesus threaten them so? "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." Acts 16:31

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday that Washington was working “very aggressively” to dramatically expand the amount of aid reaching trapped civilians in Gaza. The top US diplomat held 2.5 hours of one-on-one talks with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan focused on soothing the anger at both Israel and the West of one of Washington’s most strategic but difficult allies.NATO member Turkey has been an increasingly vocal critic of the way Israel has been pursuing its month-long offensive against Hamas militants who staged an October 7 attack into Israel — the deadliest in the country’s history.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., is accusing President Biden of "complicity" in the deaths of children in the Middle East. The progressive House "Squad" member has leveled a barrage of criticism against the leader of her party over his response to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, even as she fields criticism from fellow Democrats over her own reaction to the crisis. "You see this right?" Tlaib wrote to Biden on her Instagram Story on Sunday afternoon. She had shared a report from an outlet known as TCD News claiming that an Israeli airstrike had killed three children in South Lebanon.

A new report says that 13 employees of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which is responsible for Palestinian refugees, praised the Hamas terror attack of October 7, in which more than 1,400 people were murdered in Israel. U.S. President Donald Trump ended funding to the agency in 2018 over concern that it supported terrorism. But President Joe Biden restored the funding. The U.S. is the single largest donor to the agency, which is separate from other UN refugee agencies.

Joe Biden's administration appears to be watering down its denial of allegations the president met Burisma executives at a cozy DC dinner with his son Hunter. The White House initially vehemently denied rumors that Biden was present at a Cafe Milano meeting between Hunter and Ukrainian oil tsar Vadym Pozharskyi in April 2015. But after Hunter's former Burisma Holdings partner Devon Archer testified before the House Oversight Committee in July that Pozharskyi did dine with the president, the government changed course on its version of events. In October 2021, when asked by Politico whether the White House could rule out Biden having any formal or informal encounters with Pozharskyi in 2015,

London has become ground zero for some of the most disturbing pro-Hamas demonstrations in the world following the attacks on October 7th in Israel, and things just got a lot more chilling. As RedState reported, tens of thousands have marched through the streets, some shouting antisemitic slogans and declaring support for "intifada." The mobs have also taken over various British monuments, desecrating and damaging them. In light of that, counter-protestors showed up on Saturday to ask people to respect British heritage. Instead of being allowed to march down the street as the pro-Hamas protesters have done, though, they were forced to stay behind barricades.

Combine that cleverness with the fact that he truly dislikes Israel and has aligned himself with those countries and groups that wish to destroy the country, complete with the genocide of all of its inhabitants, and you end up with someone who covertly signals to Israel’s enemies his ideological allegiance with them, even while seemingly treading a morally meaningless line right down the middle.

The car was moving slowly enough that Langerman escaped serious injury, but the bicycle required extensive repairs. To Langerman, it’s another argument for ending a practice that almost all U.S. cities have embraced for decades: the legal prerogative for a driver to turn right after stopping at a red light.

This directive is not for a week or a month but for the entire “winter respiratory virus period,” Mercury News reported. This mandate is slated to span from November 1 to the end of March.
