When Christian conservatives win... nothing happens. Ever hear two conservatives arguing about who is more conservative, exercises more freedom? No.
Oh but liberals love to one up each other, and they will all be sacrificed to the next level up. The next group must prove they are more liberal by executing those that are not liberal enough. They all take turns being the useful idiots.
FYI~ this is Trump's scam on his supporters. Prove you are more loyal than the other guy.
Conservatives are backed into a corner by liberals gaslighting, it's absurd on its face. But oh the gnashing of teeth, the inflicted wounds caused by conservatives not affirming the left's ideology. Not telling them they can't act the fool, go right ahead, we are just not coming along for the ride in the clown car. The indignation of being asked to defend their positions rather than being able to force acquiesce by fiat. Conservatives simply say they won't play and liberals make them play anyway.
The left's violence is mostly peaceful, democracy in action, the right's violence is the worst attack on democracy since [pick your subjective historical event].
Biden said autocracies are in decline. Look in a mirror, gay rights, environmentalism, electric cars, wind and solar energy, ESG, DEI, LGBTQ+, equity language, all implemented by fiat with your job and potentially freedom as stake for noncompliance.
Politics can't solve a spiritual crisis, but it can and does perpetuate it. Politics is downhill from society. We need community leaders.
This is exactly it. Musk started the woke employee purge. I believe for most large companies the same is underway. Of course the company management is not broadcasting it. And the mainstream media is not reporting it because it is alarmist against their work agenda... frankly a crisis against their agenda.
The same has to be done in the media. The media employees that have been captured by this toxic ideology need to be fired and replaced by those that don't. This is doable, but will be difficult because the colleges are still cranking out woke cranks with journalism degrees. That is another topic for remedy. Now for a lot of business the downturn that followed the hiring from the previous economic expansion under Trump and then the explosive hiring from the Biden Covid dollar dump is easy cover. They have too many employees. Media does not have that extent of cover; although the economic downturn is impacting their business too.
The other difference with media and big tech is that the billionaires own controlling interest through their Wall Street holdings with Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street (and others). These billionaires are pushing the woke doctrine and agenda not because they care about the social justice aspect, but because they want to see the US small business economy destroyed so they can continue their consolidation of the economic system to connect with the WEF globalist corporatist cabal. For them it is all about power and control. If they see the tide shifting to a Republican dominated government, they will pivot to try and save face... calming down the party to prevent regulatory and policy extremes that would set back their agenda. They will clean up their media holdings and slow down their ESG and DEI programs.
That is why 2024 is so important to elect Republicans. If Trump is the general candidate and the Republican never-Trumpers throw another tantrum to elect Democrats, then everything wrong can be laid directly on their lap.
I am going to give you a like on that because I think I agree with some of it. Purging the Wokes and getting back to a actual free press rather than a bunch of liberal, activist, cheerleaders masquerading as journalists.
I like butting heads with you on Trump (you're not going to like my comment above). You know I voted for him twice.
If Trump is the candidate I will bet you a keg of Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout KBS he looses.
Sure, it will be because he didn't get the votes. But you can't blame the voters unless your argument is the voters were too stupid to vote for the lesser of two evils.
Trump is not the hero here to save us from Democrats. That card got played in 2016. And if Biden is too old so is Trump.
Trump is playing the anti hero, he's not the good guy, he is just better than the other guy. That bar depends on your opponent, and the bar is low.
I am tired of voting against the other guy. I want to vote for a candidate. Either because the candidate has a positive message I can get behind (almost anyone but Trump), or because the candidate will not hurt Republicans in 2024 (the Democrat).
I look forward to the Republican candidate bar being so high Trump won't be able to drag his ego over it.
Well we better hope that the primaries give us the better candidate then. If Trump is it, then I am voting for Trump... because anything Democrat has proven disastrous. As bad as Trump is, the Democrats in power are 100 time worse. I don't think Trump is that bad... just causes our easy to upset media entertainment-programmed population to freak.
I am good with an SOB fighting the fight against the establishment. I would prefer a non SOB if we can find one. But if the non-SOB capitulates to the establishment, he/she will be no better than the Democrats.
If we had a balanced ethical press, it would be easier to elect a more moderate Republican.
I voted for Trump twice but I just don't have it in me to do it again. One thing that has been proven is that the Deep State is like Michael Jordan. You can't stop it but you can only hope to contain it. I don't want another 4 years of 99% of the media, alphabet departments and legislature spending 100% of their energy focusing on stopping Trump. I guess that is a defeatist attitude, I admit. And no, I will not vote for whatever turd sandwich the Dems offer up. I want DeSantis but I see he is already being villified as worse than Trump by the left. Maybe one day there will be a country-wide education program on what Facsism really looks like because the Left has no clue. But I also think DeSantis would give them less fodder by not constantly tweeting outrageous stuff.
Education has been owned by the left for 50+ years.
Biden said autocracies are in decline. Look in a mirror... gay rights, environmentalism, electric cars, wind and solar energy, ESG, DEI, LGBTQ+, equity language, all implemented by fiat with your job and potentially freedom at stake for noncompliance.
The Progressive Left - including the Alphabet Mafia - is intent on destroying our country as it was founded and has existed since its inception. The Media aren't their"allies"... they're actually co-conspirators.
Am I the only one who's noticed that when 'left' leaning people point out the bias of the press, then that person is immediately named as a 'Trump Lover' or
I am reminded of that great philosopher of the days of SNL, where Roseann Rosanadanna would go into a rant until some truth was explained to her, wherein she would back away from her rant with the iconic “Nevermind”.
This is what DA Brag is doing with the Trump case, when yesterday he quietly cancelled the grand jury for at least a week. This is what the press will do with Nashville, now that they know it was a mentally ill woman. This is what always happens once the press realizes they have monetized all they can out of a fake hitline and now need to shift.
Maybe we should all take a lesson from Governor Desantis, who takes just a short minute to call out bullshit, then gets back to the serious business of governing.
The border is overrun. North Korea is threatening to nuke us. Putin is moving his nukes into the battle theater. Hunter smokes crack while Brandon is sitting in a chair licking an ice cream bowl.
Lots of real issues to deal with without chasing fake hitlines.
I constantly hear and read from right/conservative pundits that the MSM is "destroying itself", "causing their own demise", "dying" etc. I have been reading/hearing this for the last 30 years. It NEVER happens. When will it happen? I am ready for it to happen!! Why is it not happening? IT IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!! The media is too entrenched. It is just like the hope that there will someday be accountability for high-level corrupt officials on the left and right. This is like a unicorn fart sprinkled with fairy dust. It is a figment of our imagination. Also, concerning this mentally ill woman that killed the children, you will notice she just happened to be wearing a red ball cap. This was not just a coincidence. She wanted to stir up the left as much as possible.
I was listening to “The News and Why It Matters” on the Blaze (Glen Beck) this morning and some points about the shooter might be important. Many of the “transgendered” are Autistic.
Many of the latest shooters were “transgendered”. This shooter was a high functioning Autistic.
This may be important or just a coincidence. The media glorifies violence to highlight a point. Want your manifesto known? Commit a horrendous crime.
Well, I was wrong yesterday. I thought the press would wait 48 hrs at least, for the sake of the parents of the murdered children, before they decided to make their children’s murderer the “victim of transphobia”. I guess they felt they needed to hurry up and get ahead of the trans activists, who were already blaming the law, the guns and the Christians for the murder.
Journalism has been replaced by activism. When the majority of Americans stop believing in an honest press, only bad things will happen. We are at that point. Sadly…to save ourselves, the press must be destroyed economically.
Still think this is not a war on Christianity? Granted those of us religious types have always been persecuted. But never in the history of our nation has it been done with such violence and fervent hatred.
Erick, after reading your post it's apparent you are aware that some of your journalist friends in the media read your substack. I am glad if that is true. As a center right conservative, I just want the media, almost always to the left of center, to tell the truth, with no shade. I don't appose their leftward-leanings, I just want them to use critical thinking, as they'd have to do if they were building a bridge, if they wanted it to hold weight, or an aircraft, if they wanted it to safely fly. Lying by omission is still lying - "Former Christian School Student Kills 3 Students, 3 Staff in Nashville".
Only a slight correction. The media is not left of center. It’s far far left and not even close to the middle anymore. And they don’t hide or deny it now either.
When Christian conservatives win... nothing happens. Ever hear two conservatives arguing about who is more conservative, exercises more freedom? No.

The Leftwing Media is in full spin/gaslighting mode over this trans-shooter indicent..

As Erick likes to say, you WILL be made to care.
"...hope that the primaries give us the better candidate..."
I am counting on it.
The Progressive Left - including the Alphabet Mafia - is intent on destroying our country as it was founded and has existed since its inception. The Media aren't their"allies"... they're actually co-conspirators.
Am I the only one who's noticed that when 'left' leaning people point out the bias of the press, then that person is immediately named as a 'Trump Lover' or
right-winger?' Sanity is out the door!
That Daily Mail one is not even factual; as I understand it she was living at home and her parents were paying for therapy

Excellent recounting and expounding on these topics and issues!

We are a terminally sick society and we refuse to do anything to heal ourselves.
Sick yes, but sure we are trying to heal ourselves, by legalizing pot...now *that's* medicine.
Erick, one of the comments you gave us is appropriate here: "the enslaved press". Where is the Free Press?
Well, I was wrong yesterday. I thought the press would wait 48 hrs at least, for the sake of the parents of the murdered children, before they decided to make their children’s murderer the “victim of transphobia”. I guess they felt they needed to hurry up and get ahead of the trans activists, who were already blaming the law, the guns and the Christians for the murder.

Truth has no agenda, people do.
Most of us couldn’t care what adults do with their bodies. Just don’t make a permanent choice for children.
Also, don't require me to recognize it, celebrate it, and use silly made up pronouns.
I was filling out a medical form and they wanted my preferred pronouns. I wrote “ Your Royal Highness”.
I do that too.... only I specify "My Lord/His Lordship" 🤣🤣🤣
Love it!
I like that!
