Thanks Ms Lane! Sometimes you need to know someone is there to shake you up.

NBC blindly accepts health statistics from Hamas. Yet, it questions Ron DeSantis and the Florida Dept of Public Health on their Covid 19 stats? I can't say I'm not surprised. But I am disgusted.

I can't believe I'm about to write this, but I'm gaining a lot of respect for Bill Maher. Over the past two years he has increasingly called out libs for their own hypocrisy. I admire that because, despite our fundamental differences in politics, he is calling out liars just like Erick does. Each is seeking consistency, and in doing so they're holding people accountable.

This is why I subscribe to your articles...because I know that even if it's not what I want to hear, you've researched looking for facts, and what I read here will be what your research has convinced you is the truth. Doesn't mean you can't be wrong, but at least you aren't deliberately wrong.

Thank God for the Bible and Erick.

All of which is why I rely on you and the Dispatch and a few others to illumine the darkness. Thanks Erick.

The anti Israel groups play the media like an artist playing a Stradivarius. Years ago when Israel invaded southern Lebanon, they did a classic propaganda event. Reporters were driven to a village just in time to see “relief” workers digging the bodies of children out of rubble. Different reporters were brought to the village to see the same relief workers digging out the same children at the same spot on different times.

While telling us that no media outlets are worthy of trust, you cite The Atlantic and others to prove the veracity of your hypothesis. How ironic that one of your logical fallacies in this article is Appeal to Authority.

Erick, when people are told they can't trust anything they read, they gravitate to the loudest, most outrageous voices. They gravitate to Trumpism.

This world is not my home. So I just put my pants on and go to work every morning. I vote, pay taxes, pay my tithe. I’m a good citizen. Just waitin on the Rapture. Got my lamp stands full of oil and lit.

“As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool returns to his folly. Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.…”- Proverbs 26: 11-12

Everybody’s now offended,

Everyone is quite alarmed.

Former friends are pointing fingers…

We’ve run out of Lucky Charms!

Holy’s wholly now subjective.

We’ve abandoned Truth for “fair”.

“Moral” now is Self-determined.

That’s the burden that we bear.

It’s “the way” the world keeps spinning,

‘Round and ‘round futility.

Dogs returning to the vomit

Prideful, dark idolatry.

* * *

Heed The Word, or pay the piper.

Take the strait gate, friend, instead.

Turn around, and seek the Savior

Resurrected from the dead.

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”

“Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you. “ - Ephesians 4:31-32

I've never been a very cynical person. But must say that it gets harder and harder not to suspiciously look at any and every article, statement by a politician, etc.

I have liberal friends who are Jewish and remained miffed as to how they continue to support a party and media that seems to be doing everything it can to help the Arab world wipe out Israel. I've asked more than one friend how they reconcile that. And to this day, I haven't gotten a good answer. One telling me that they put a lot of trust in their Rabbi, who tells them that Israel will always be protected by God.

As Erick has stated many times before, facts are no longer relevant. Especially with the woke. And we saw evidence of Erickson's prediction that once the Woke is done with middle and the right, they'll come for each other. Apparently Ellen Degeneres has been cancelled. Ellen Degeneres!

To my knowledge, there is not one news organization that will just simply put out the facts. How nice it would for a well financed organization to present both sides and let you decide. If I had the money, I would start it up right now; because whoever does this is going to do quite well. The fact vacuum that tribalism has created is massive and the person or persons that move to fill this is going to become quite wealthy.

To the surprise of no one who follows Scripture.... Bur even we who follow Christ can be massively disappointed at these so-called leaders and news sources.

Speaking generically about liars, my grandmother would mutter, "They'd rather tell a lie than the truth when the truth would sound better."
