The time was four in the morning – the place Mom’s downstairs den.
The Net was a ghastly cauldron of rampant fear porn…..again.
The Nerd was at his laptop, carrying the war forth true.
And the Narrative kept trending….
Trending….trending….
The Narrative kept trending, like a rock in your favorite shoe.
The Nerd was drench’d in stink-sweat, watching Twitter scroll by.
The Narrative was mass starvation – surely we must all die!

Seriously, you had to ask?
This is the argument being advanced by a Jewish synagogue in Florida in claiming religious based exemptions from a state law restricting abortion access. The legal journal Verdict reports, “The Congregation L’Dor Va-Dor, a Jewish synagogue in Florida, has sued the state saying that Florida’s new restrictive abortion laws violate their religious faith. As a matter of faith, they reject the notion that life begins at conception and further believe that the pregnant person’s health and life matter.” The article continues, “To be sure, the Satanic Temple has filed similar cases in particularly restrictive states over the last decade, but mainstream religions have been sitting on the sidelines as restrictions in a number of states have become increasingly inconsistent with their faiths.”

The culture is fetid. That’s no secret to anyone.
Why else would the mighty conglomerate known as Netflix show its first-ever signs of legacy fatigue because, as it turns out, people don’t look upon it as their moral duty to pay ever-increasing subscription rates to view Barack Obama narrating a history of the Stonewall Riots, or to view Idris Elba portraying Thomas Jefferson, or to view the umpteenth iteration of a poor Jewish soul wandering lost and abused through Nazi-occupied Europe spreading the heathen gospel of Semitic humanism? This offal is why Christians cut their cable to begin with. No thanks. Time to move on.

John Andrew Reasnor recently made a lengthy post on his Facebook wall regarding Kinist arguments that have transpired on the Fight Laugh Feast Network Facebook page. Below are his comments in bold followed by my responses.
Should Christians have “natural affections” for their own ethnicity? … Recently, a popular podcast network group affiliated with Doug Wilson (Fight Laugh Feast Network) has been embroiled in dozens of posts and hundreds (if not thousands) of comments debating kinism. It’s been wild…Many are openly supporting kinism. Some are condemning it strongly. Many more are being very diplomatic towards the kinists and trying to have a “balanced” take.

“I think anything close to Kinist ideology deserves to be taken to the woodshed like Jesus did the Pharisees. It’s in Kinism where you’ll find today’s synagogue of Satan circumcising themselves and their wives off from culture and the mission of postmill work.” – Darren Doane
Darren Doane is a member of Doug Wilson’s church and director of the documentary Collision about the debate between Wilson and atheist Christopher Hitchens…a step up from the Blink-182 music videos that Doane directed earlier in his career. Doane doesn’t like Kinism, as is apparent from his comment posted to Facebook earlier this week. He accuses Kinists of being like the Pharisees and the “synagogue of Satan” mentioned in Rev. 2:9 and 3:9. Those are some big accusations, to be sure! Hey Darren, quick question: What do you think of the actual practitioners of Judaism today? Are they at least a part of the “synagogue of Satan,” or is that being anti-Semitic? Never mind.

So your fifth cousin twelve times removed finally jumped off the Good Ship Complacency Narrative and started to clue in that there was more to 9/11 than met the eye, and that the medical Maoists heralding Covid orthodoxy nonstop might not have his best interests at heart? In all sincerity, wonderful news! From such small seeds do Godly worldviews blossom, if the Gardener prunes the spreading foliage to produce maximum fruit.
But….if he’s still a wet-behind-the-ears waif, he might not quite grasp yet just what a minefield this internet of “ours” is. And if he desires to glorify God through sounding the warning bell to those who are as at sea as he once was, it is incumbent upon him to accrue some cyber-street smarts rather quickly, lest he finds himself cast adrift into the seemingly endless void of NPC’s and finds himself a walking, talking, mocking meme. At any rate, here are a dozen rookie mistakes he ought to be cognizant of.

Recently a draft document leaked from the Supreme Court indicates that a preliminary majority of justices would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, which infamously struck down state laws banning abortion in 1973. The Left has reacted with all too predictable anger and outrage, as well as firm resolve that murdering children is a woman’s “right” that will be forever protected throughout the United States. The mainstream conservative response has ranged from jubilation to cautious optimism. Many acknowledged that whatever happens when a final judgment is reached in June that there is still much work to be done.

Ah, springtime. When a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of….yelling in the park with a bunch of sign-wielding gendernondenominationals about the Current Thing that social media says is fundamental. And with the Covid narrative hardening into the stale musty dog droppings that we always knew it was, I guess that means we should start looking beyond our shores for further adventures. Therefore, we took the liberty of calling upon Dr. Endicott B. Strangelove, deacon affiliated with a breakaway Presbyterian congregation so conservative they ditched their masks a full week before their governor decreed they could so do, to tap his brain on the Ukrainian situation.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been ongoing for the past several weeks and I have some belated thoughts on the matter. In America we are being told that Russia is invading Russia simply because they are a bully. The conflict has provided Conservative, Inc. with a convenient distraction from having to actually hold the Biden administration accountable for the complete dumpster fire that his Presidency has been. Instead we can be assured that the predominant Republican talking point for the upcoming midterm elections will be that the Biden administration has been soft and incompetent in its dealings with Russia.

Gary North, a prominent founder of the Christian Reconstructionist movement passed away on February 24. North was a prolific author and speaker who frequently wrote and lectured on politics, libertarian economics, the gold standard, and postmillennial eschatology. North was influenced by his future father-in-law, R.J. Rushdoony who convinced him that God’s law serves as the foundation for all Christian morality and ethics. North also became convinced that God’s mandate for mankind to take dominion in Gen. 1:28 coupled with Christ’s Great Commission meant that the Gospel message wasn’t solely concerned with the salvation of individual sinners, but that the Bible also promises the conversion of the nations and consequently the transformation of the social order into conformity with God’s law.
