The leeches in the Corporate Media rarely care much about the opinions of Christians, except to hold them up to public ridicule. But the editor of Christianity Today---just two weeks before his scheduled retirement---has suddenly found himself the toast of all the elite media circles. At least now George Will and David Brock will have another kindred spirit at the upcoming Winter Holiday cocktail parties.
Mark Galli, an Anglican minister, wrote a piece for CT encouraging Evangelicals to abandon their support for President Trump. The main flaw in his article is that Galli believes (or affects to believe) that the Congressional Impeachment Hearings were conducted fairly and represent the whole truth. Galli doesn't seem to understand that the Articles of Impeachment are not a formal conviction of anything. No President of the United States has ever been removed from Office by Congress. All four attempts were simply abuses of Congressional power moreso than abuses of Office by a President.
That being said, most of Galli's argument collapses with his False Premises. The rest of his article simply boils to 'Orange Man Bad' punctuated occasionally with moralistic hyperbole. Here's a specimen of Galli's reasoning:
"This president has dumbed down the idea of morality in his administration. He has hired and fired a number of people who are now convicted criminals. He himself has admitted to immoral actions in business and his relationship with women, about which he remains proud. His Twitter feed alone—with its habitual string of mischaracterizations, lies, and slanders—is a near perfect example of a human being who is morally lost and confused."
In the first place, Galli is exaggerating Trump's alleged moral failings; in the second, he doesn't seem to realize that Presidents are human beings and, consequently, not exempt from making mistakes or committing sins. But even so, there's a matter of degrees here. I don't know what 'lies' of Trump which Galli is complaining about; but consider that the last four Administrations promulgated lies which culminated in humanitarian disasters in Iraq, Panama, Mexico, Haiti, Yugoslavia, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, Yemen, Sudan, etc. There's really not much comparison.
Galli continues: "To the many evangelicals who continue to support Mr. Trump in spite of his blackened moral record, we might say this: Remember who you are and whom you serve. Consider how your justification of Mr. Trump influences your witness to your Lord and Savior. Consider what an unbelieving world will say if you continue to brush off Mr. Trump’s immoral words and behavior in the cause of political expediency. If we don’t reverse course now, will anyone take anything we say about justice and righteousness with any seriousness for decades to come? Can we say with a straight face that abortion is a great evil that cannot be tolerated and, with the same straight face, say that the bent and broken character of our nation’s leader doesn’t really matter in the end?"
Where has this guy been for the last three years? He talks as though the Trump Administration has done absolutely nothing for Religious Liberty---which was under relentless attack during the last four administrations. One reason that we're not seeing religious displays torn down at Christmas any more is because the Trump Administration ordered US Attorneys to stop backing such cases.
Just this last month alone, the Trump Administration won a landmark victory in Federal Court on behalf of Christian schools. And even down to the personal level, Trump has shown great interest in helping Christians here and abroad. In his last summit with Turkish President Erdogan, Trump personally interceded on behalf of some Christians in Turkey whom Erdogan later released from prison. Does this sound like a man with "a bent and broken character?"
And exactly as the rest of Trump's enemies, Galli offers us no alternative, no solutions, no recommendations as to whom or what should replace Trump. So much for another fake Conservative. At least Galli will be gone from Christianity Today in January; doomed to spend his retirement drifting from one dreary Liberal circle to another and chafing after Trump wins his Second Term.

THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
It's hard to believe that it's nearly Christmas already and that 2019 is drawing to a close. This December admittedly has been a rocky month, the last week in particular. It seems like every imaginable wingnut has been popping up lately, causing all sorts of chaos.
Since Thanksgiving, police nationwide have been involved in gunfights---most notably in Miami and Jersey City. We had the tragic Heidi Broussard Case, where an online community came together to help but were plagued with mean-spirited trolling. The Whacko Left-Wing has been spamming every vacant spot on the Ethernet with their Impeachment hysteria. Sports "heroes" are behaving like complete idiots; the Red Pills have been running wild; and even the Never-Trump nitwits have re-surfaced with their less-than-two-cents'-worth.
In the midst of all of this, however, the Trump Administration is again leading by example. Just three years ago, who'd have thought that Americans would ever again look to the White House as an oasis of tranquility and stability at Christmastime? This is the third White House Christmas of the Trump Era; and Mrs. Trump has set up a real showcase for us.
It seems like every year, the displays somehow are even better than the year before. This year's theme is "The Spirit of America." As in previous years, Melania designed the entire layout herself.
The First Lady said: "This Christmas season I want to honor those who have shaped our country and made it the place we are proud to call home. When I travel the country, I am inspired by the hard working people and families that I meet. No matter which state they call home, many Americans share a strong set of values and deep appreciation for the traditions and history of our great nation. Thank you to all of the staff and volunteers who worked to make sure the People’s House was ready for Christmas,”
A lot of people forget that Melania was born in Yugoslavia, a Communist country, and brought up in a Communist system. Her father raised his children in a State Housing Complex and worked as an official in the State-run automotive enterprise that produced the infamous Yugo. Melania related once that her father had her and her siblings secretly baptized as Catholics in order not to jeopardize his position. He later became a partisan fighting for Slovenian Independence. Against this background, she learned to appreciate the freedoms we have here---including religious freedom---and has always been an outspoken critic of the Left and Atheists who want to do us what they did in Yugoslavia, if not worse.
President Trump invited several UN dignitaries to view the display before lighting the National Christmas Tree. At that latter ceremony, the Trumps invited and honored Christian leaders in the US who were distinguished for their charitable works this year, Among those were officials of the Salvation Army; Sarah Verardo, who runs a service providing free medical equipment to wounded veterans and policemen; and Pastor Obed Jauregui who runs one of the nation's largest outreach services to the poor.
Contrary to all the nutcases who've been grabbing the public spotlight lately, this what America really looks like on the inside. This is probably what's been driving the internal enemies of our Culture crazy---they can't stand what they see.
President Trump summed it up, addressing the crowd that evening:
"In 1923, President Calvin Coolidge lit the first National Christmas Tree. Later that night, African American community centers held an outdoor worship service on these grounds. And during that service, the Washington Monument was illuminated with a beautiful cross, a powerful reminder of the meaning of Christmas.
"More than 2,000 years ago, a brilliant star shone in the East. Wise men traveled far, far afield. I mean, they were a long distance away. And they came and they stood with us under the star, where they found the Holy Family in Bethlehem. As the Bible tells us, when the Wise Men 'had come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and fell down and worshipped him.'
"Christians give thanks that the Son of God came into the world to save humanity. Jesus Christ inspires us to love one another with hearts full of generosity and grace...And at Christmas, we remember this eternal truth: Every person is a beloved child of God. As one grateful nation, we praise the joy of family, the blessings of freedom, and the miracle of Christmas."

WITCH-HUNTING DEMOCRAT PROSECUTOR JAILED
Thomas Spota, a prominent Long Island Democrat and former District Attorney there who built a career fanning Paedohysteria and surfeiting off of the Clerical Abuse witch-hunts, was sentenced to a maximum of 20 years in the Federal Pen yesterday.
“When a sitting District Attorney and the Chief of the Government Corruption Bureau attempt to obstruct a federal grand jury investigation, it is nothing short of an attack on the justice system itself, and it will not be tolerated by the Justice Department. As prosecutors, the defendants were obligated to support the law they enforce, but the criminal actions taken by these men made a mockery of that obligation. Thankfully, the rule of law has prevailed, and the defendants now must face the consequences of their actions, just like any other defendant who has broken the law,” stated United States Attorney Richard Donoghue.
The scandal that brought down Spota and his confederates happened after a junkie named Chris Loeb burglarized a car belonging to former Suffolk Police Chief James Burke. As it turned out, a duffel-bag that Loeb had stolen contained sex toys, pornographic material, and a bottle of Viagra. Burke personally raided Loeb's home with three of his 'Inner Circle'. He recovered the bag and took Loeb to the precinct where he was brutally beaten while shackled. A witness testified that Burke threatened to inject Loeb with a lethal dose of Heroin if he told.
But Loeb did tell; and the subsequent investigation revealed that Spota covered up for that and many other of Burke's crimes. It was never proven at trial, but is widely believed by many that Spota and his henchmen were probably getting 'protection' money from local prostitution and pornography enterprises. At any rate, Spota went to great lengths to obstruct justice; intimidating witnesses in particular. At Spota's trial, one testified that Spota regularly pressured him to keep the Intel detectives quiet by repeatedly inquiring – “Are they holding up?” “Are they towing the line?” – conveying the message that they should refuse to cooperate with the federal investigation and, if necessary, lie to protect Burke.
Spota first gained national attention when he and his friend, Senator Chuck Schumer, drummed up a Child Pornography Scare in 2003 to attempt to sabotage some new Internet technology on file-sharing. Hollywood---which contributes heavily to Schumer---was threatened financially by the then-new technology. He then jumped in with other activist prosecutors to ferret out alleged abuse within the Catholic Church. The Catholic League issued this statement upon Spota's conviction:
"In the early 2000s, following revelations of clergy sexual abuse by the Boston Globe, Spota impaneled a Long Island grand jury to probe the Diocese of Rockville Centre. He knew full well he could not prosecute anyone because of the statute of limitations, but that didn’t matter. He never cross examined witnesses and refused to allow officials from the diocese to testify. Worse, he leaked a copy of the grand jury report to Newsday before the diocese had a chance to respond...The Catholic League clashed with Spota on many occasions. While he was not imprisoned for his misdeeds against the Catholic Church, his flawed character—which we observed many times—ultimately caught up with him in a criminal way."
As far as we're Spota, Burke, and the others convicted with them are just another pack of Swamp Creatures headed down the drain. It's always amazing when peeling back the sanctimonious and self-righteous veneer of Political Correctness to find what lurks behind the curtain...and note what the Democrats really stand for.

LOCAL MEN BEAT THUG AND RESCUE BABY
Monday night, the picturesque ocean-side village of Cambria, California was hit with a horrible crime and subsequent manhunt. A dirtbag stabbed his girlfriend and abducted their 2 year-old daughter. The mother---though wounded with life-threatening injuries---crawled to a neighbor's house and called for help, but not before the scum had escaped. The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff issued an Amber Alert.
Thanks though to the actions of some local men, said dirtbag is now in jail and little Bethanie Carraza is safe. According to KTVU-2 San Jose, the thug pulled into the Old Cambria Market and Shell Station. He was leaving the market when someone recognized his car. Four men followed the man outside and surrounded him. An altercation broke out, and the Market's manager Eric Johnson applied a choke-hold. Meanwhile someone procured some zip-ties and trussed up the kidnapper---the biggest Christmas Turkey of the season!
The baby was put in a children's home while her mother recuperates. The mother was listed in critical but stable condition. We hope that she recovers and learns from her mistakes. In fact, all single women can learn from this: this is what you get when you have relationships with bad boys.
A man named Andrew Torres was the man who rushed out into the street and rescued the mother. A man named Eric Johnson and four unidentified other men were the men who rescued the little girl. Two male policemen responded to the scene. That's eight men who risked their lives for a mom and her baby. Yet the actual father sits in jail after stabbing the mom and abducting the girl. Think about that.
Another interesting side-note was that---aside from a passing mention by KTVU---most other articles I've seen don't even mention that these were men who rescued the child. They refer to 'Good Samaritans' and 'local citizens' but pointedly leave out who they were. One article mentions that the struggle was captured on an I-Phone; it may be so, but as of this writing, I haven't seen in it any news outlets. This story just doesn't fit the toxic masculinity narrative. Reality has a way of by-passing Political Correctness though.
Good Men doing Good Things: that's what it's all about.

CNN HOST SUFFERS ON-AIR TDS ATTACK
Things haven't been going too well for the Corporate Media these days. The reality is finally seeping into their thick skulls that three years of incessant Trump-bashing leading even to Impeachment Hearings is coming to nothing; and as 2020 draws nearer, Trump is looking stronger than he did in 2016. However much the Elites try to spin things, Trump currently has at least around 45% of likely voters supporting him, even by the pollsters' biased standards. In contrast, those who have a strong confidence in the Media amount to a humiliating 13%.
This evident failure naturally has been causing considerable stress among these pseudo-Elites who, for many years, imagined that us little people looked up to them as earthly gods; humbly and dutifully trusting in their supposedly superior intellects. This tension apparently struck CNN's Don Lemon---a millionaire and homosexual---especially hard last Wednesday Night.
The President had just returned from a highly successful rally and posted a meme of himself as a Marvel Comics character, Thanos, on Twitter. This act of insubordination to the Media Elites sent Lemon over the edge.
For almost 15 minutes of his hour-long show, Lemon unwound on the President and his supporters. "What are we in Junior High School?" he huffed. "What is this?!? Oh!Oh! I'm so ashamed even to have report this! This is literally craziness! Are you people insane?!?" Lemon looked throughout the whole ordeal as if he were about to burst into tears at any moment.
Oooo, that awful man! That big brute!
Poor Donnie. Oh well, with his $720,000 annual salary, he can afford an excellent psychotherapist. The whole disgraceful performance, however, is exactly why public confidence in the Media is so low. Even IMDB shows that CNN Tonight with Don Lemon has a viewer-rating of 3.3 stars out of a possible 10. To put that in some perspective, consider that re-runs of Gilligan's Island have an average rating of 7.3 stars.
The reason why nobody takes clowns like Don Lemon seriously ought to be obvious. Just compare him with journalists of the past. Someone like Mike Royko, for example. Royko actually mixed with the people and heard their concerns; and backed up his words with action. Royko once wrote an expose of Mayor Richard Daley. He got beaten up and thrown into an icy river by Daley's thugs. The next day, he was at his desk writing a column about the attack.
Journalists are---or were---community or national leaders. That's also why journalism was traditionally a male-dominated occupation. Who would people naturally follow? A Mike Royko who was willing to stand up to a political czar on your behalf, or a sissy-boy like Don Lemon who gets triggered by memes and does repulsive photo-ops with his boyfriend?
And by the same token, the natural respect that mankind feels for a real leader is the reason that men like Trump are popular while guys like Lemon are laughing-stocks.
But it's doubtful that many, in the toxic miasma permeating the Corporate Media today, have enough self-awareness even to see themselves for what they've become. They function within a system which rewards Narcissism and Sensationalism, and is centered on personality cults---totally alienated from the average American, whom they despise as their inferiors. But whether they like it or not, Reality is re-asserting itself and the MSM's influence continues to sink.

A DOZEN NFL THUGS JAILED
The NFL's politically-correct commisar Roger Goodell awoke today to receive the cheerful news that ten former players had been indicted on federal Fraud charges and warrants were issued for two others. Apparently, these millionaires weren't content with their bloated salaries and pensions, so they plunged their larcenous hands into the NFL Players' Union till.
"The alleged fraud targeted the Gene Upshaw NFL Player Health Reimbursement Account Plan (the Plan), which was established pursuant to the 2006 collective bargaining agreement and provided for tax-free reimbursement of out-of-pocket medical care expenses that were not covered by insurance and that were incurred by former players, their wives and their dependents – up to a maximum of $350,000 per player. According to the charging documents, over $3.9 million in false and fraudulent claims were submitted to the Plan, and the Plan paid out over $3.4 million on those claims between June 2017 and December 2018." read the Department of Justice Press Release.
Of course, the players could always argue that they merely were carrying out some of the shady practices of the player for whom the Plan was named; but it's doubtful that the FBI will listen to such excuses.
Besides being raised by Trash Culture to the status of national heroes, let us not forget that these worthies were all graduates of our wonderful university system. Let's review which institutions of higher learning prepared these fine gentlemen and scholars for their future contributions to society:
Clinton Portis: University of Miami
Robert McCune: University of Louisville
John Eubanks: University of Southern Mississippi
Tamarick Vanover: Florida State University
Ceandris Brown: University of Louisiana
James Butler: Georgia Tech
Fred Bennett: University of South Carolina
Etric Pruitt: University of Southern Mississippi
Carlos Rogers: Auburn University
Correll Buckhalter: University of Nebraska
Joe Horn: Itawamba Junior College
Reche Caldwell: University of Florida
I wonder how long as a society that we're going to go on pretending that most of modern Academia is really accomplishing anything positive. It's interesting to note that four of the colleges mentioned above were caught in a major NCAA Basketball scandal just last year. Considering that the NCAA generates over $10 billion in annual revenue for these academic leeches, though, it's doubtful that reform will be considered very seriously. Some of these schools listed above rank among the Top 10 in revenue from college sports: Auburn University rakes in $147.5 million and the University of Florida, $149.2 million.
The Academic Mafia gets away with this scam because there are no NCAA rules against academic fraud. The universities set up fake classes and programs to ensure that college athletes maintain high enough grades to remain eligible for sports---while allowing school administrators to line their own pockets while posing as intellectual elites. And it's also fairly well known that the schools employ an unknown number of lawyers and other 'fixers' to keep the scandalous behavior of their star players off the headlines. In the cesspool of corruption and graft that college sports has become, is it any wonder that men schooled in such a system go on to become criminals? College did exactly what it's designed to do: it educated younger men to follow the ways of experts.
This is altogether an evil system, but on how to reform it, there's no simple answer. Hopefully the FBI will follow up and after enough of these crooks wind up in jail, it will force the respective agencies to change from within. But the fact remains that the root of the problem is in Academia; and that's also a ripe area for reform during Trump's Second Term in and of itself.

RADICAL LEFTISTS SHOOT UP JERSEY CITY
Following up on last week's orgy of urban violence, a pair of dirtbags in Jersey City, New Jersey turned a Jewish enclave in town into a battle-zone. Surprised by a policeman who was slain during the affair, the duo launched a half-aborted attack on a Jewish delicatessen. Besides the police detective, three other innocent people were killed and many injured. It could have been worse, the suspects also possessed a bomb which was recovered and safely disarmed.
As usual, the Corporate Media spent the afternoon making complete fools of themselves and the NPC Left flooded comments' sections all over social media blaming Trump and the NRA. This morning however when the facts were in, we learned that the killers were actually radicalized Black Supremacists.
The killers were members of a fringe cult called the Black Hebrew Israelites. It's small wonder that the MSM has been slinking away from the shooting story; astute readers might recall that this particular group were the instigators of last January's Covington High School hoax. The MSM ended up eating crow after that humiliating debacle---just like they are today. "Say no to Antisemitism and watch the Impeachment Hearings" seems to be the common theme.
Wading through about five pages on Google's Search Engine, it appears that the New York Times is the only MSM outlet mentioning Black Supremacists in their headlines (as of this writing). They point out that the Black Hebrew Israelites are on the SPLC list of hate groups. What the SPLC had to say on their webpage was quite telling:
"The black nationalist movement is a reaction to centuries of institutionalized white supremacy in America. Black nationalists believe the answer to white racism is to form separate institutions — or even a separate nation — for black people. Most forms of black nationalism are strongly anti-white and anti-Semitic. Some religious versions assert that black people are the biblical "chosen people" of God...Existing black nationalist groups have grown in size and new groups have formed. This growth is a response to the current climate of racial divisiveness, specifically police violence and Donald Trump’s derisive remarks about African Americans, including journalists and NFL players, and majority-black countries".
The part about Trump's derisive comments are of course fake news; and so is the sweeping statement about police violence. And I seem to recall a lot of race-riots happening under Obama; but they've been conspicuously absent in the Trump Era. And there's good reason for that. Support for President Trump has been growing among Blacks; fueled largely by increases in employment; Trump's initiatives to improve schools in minority communities; and his crackdown on violent gangs and drug proliferation. And contrary to what the MSM says, the Trump Administration has been aggressively addressing police violence as well as actually enforcing anti-discrimination laws.
The particular sect to which the shooters belonged is headquartered in Harlem. Their leader was arrested by the FBI last April and indicted for fraud. As might be expected, it turns out that David Anderson---one of the shooting suspects---had an extensive criminal history himself. His confederate in the killing spree seems to have been a fanatic recently converted to the cult. The general feeling in Harlem seems to be that the cult is a blot on society; a belief that's probably shared by most Blacks in America.
Radicalization of American Blacks has always been a problem in the US, but it's largely the result of Left-Wing agitation that teaches vulnerable members of the community that they are the victims of other groups; and this makes them ripe prey for cultists and provocateurs. But this is changing among Blacks, as it is universally across the country. Christian leaders have been a big part of this change. As Vice-President Pence noted in a recent speech before religious leaders in southern Michigan:
As usual, the Corporate Media spent the afternoon making complete fools of themselves and the NPC Left flooded comments' sections all over social media blaming Trump and the NRA. This morning however when the facts were in, we learned that the killers were actually radicalized Black Supremacists.
The killers were members of a fringe cult called the Black Hebrew Israelites. It's small wonder that the MSM has been slinking away from the shooting story; astute readers might recall that this particular group were the instigators of last January's Covington High School hoax. The MSM ended up eating crow after that humiliating debacle---just like they are today. "Say no to Antisemitism and watch the Impeachment Hearings" seems to be the common theme.
Wading through about five pages on Google's Search Engine, it appears that the New York Times is the only MSM outlet mentioning Black Supremacists in their headlines (as of this writing). They point out that the Black Hebrew Israelites are on the SPLC list of hate groups. What the SPLC had to say on their webpage was quite telling:
"The black nationalist movement is a reaction to centuries of institutionalized white supremacy in America. Black nationalists believe the answer to white racism is to form separate institutions — or even a separate nation — for black people. Most forms of black nationalism are strongly anti-white and anti-Semitic. Some religious versions assert that black people are the biblical "chosen people" of God...Existing black nationalist groups have grown in size and new groups have formed. This growth is a response to the current climate of racial divisiveness, specifically police violence and Donald Trump’s derisive remarks about African Americans, including journalists and NFL players, and majority-black countries".
The part about Trump's derisive comments are of course fake news; and so is the sweeping statement about police violence. And I seem to recall a lot of race-riots happening under Obama; but they've been conspicuously absent in the Trump Era. And there's good reason for that. Support for President Trump has been growing among Blacks; fueled largely by increases in employment; Trump's initiatives to improve schools in minority communities; and his crackdown on violent gangs and drug proliferation.

As Vice-President Pence noted in a recent speech before religious leaders in southern Michigan:
"I believe that the effective and fervent prayer of a righteous nation availeth much. And I believe that if His people, who are called by His name, will humble themselves and pray, He’ll do like He’s always done in the long and storied history of this country. In these too divided of times, He’ll hear from Heaven and He’ll heal this land.
"So I encourage you — I encourage you to let your voice be heard. Tell people what they’re not hearing on most of their major cable television stations every day, okay? Tell them about the ways America is more secure and more prosperous.
"But I’d just encourage you to keep telling your congregations to pray for America, pray for all the people of America, because it’ll make a difference. It’ll make a difference in the life of this nation, and it’ll see us through these challenging times."
