A Matter of Is vs. Ought: A Response to Charles Johnson on Race Realism

By Davis Carlton

Charles Johnson, writing at the blog Reformed Theology Delatinized, has responded to Rev. Michael Spangler’s series on race realism posted at the Pactum Institute blog. Johnson concedes that Spangler is basically correct regarding the reality of race and that whites are being replaced in America, but that is the extent of his agreement. Johnson quotes Spangler’s saying that race realism is the belief that “race goes deep, extending to countless other realities, physical, cultural, intellectual, moral, and spiritual.” Johnson then argues that “A more historic name for this doctrine would be ‘racism.’” Johnson ignores the actual history of the frivolous accusation of “racism,” which sets the tone for the rest of his response. read more

Wailing Wall Pilgrimage – The Denial of Christ

By Ehud Would

It’s that time again. Election season. 

Since at least Nixon’s tenure, it has become an obligatory ritual of Western statecraft for any ascendant politicians to make pilgrimage to ersatz Israel. The symbolic import of which is always punctuated by a visit to the so-called “Wailing Wall” at the Temple Mount. 

Presidents and Prime Ministers no less than Princes and Kings there don the kippah, touch the limestone, and pray alongside Orthodox Jews thrusting their hips (shuckling, they call it) in blasphemous mock coitus with the Shekinah, the female essence of their god. Yes, really. Blasphemous as it is, Evangelicals have lately adopted this nomenclature as an alternate name for the Holy Spirit, but the word Shekinah appears nowhere in scripture. It is wholly a creation of the Talmud. read more

The Mask Comes Completely Off: Russell Moore on “Christ is King”

By Davis Carlton

I recently wrote about how modern Christian leaders share many traits in common with the betrayal of the first century Pharisees as collaborators with the pagan Roman Empire. There were several examples that came to my mind, but my response was mostly triggered by Ligon Duncan’s recent interview in which he denounced Christian nationalism. Enter Russell Moore, who eagerly provided a predictably horrible take on the “Christ is King” controversy since the Candace Owens firing at the Daily Wire. Moore’s recently published article in Christianity Today, where he is now editor-in-chief, is titled: ‘Christ Is King’ Is Not the Slogan Some White Nationalists Want It to Be. read more

Exclusive: Our Interview With a Christian Who Gets All Offended at ‘Christ is King’

By Colby Malsbury

Oh boy, you sure have to be careful goin’ 110 down the misinformation superhighway these days. There are all kinds of nogoodniks out there adept at using coded phraseology and manipulation tactics learned from Newsmax to send you down into a rabbit hole that can only end up on a message board on Stormfront, circa 2008. We don’t want that, of course. So what is to be done? Well, you can do like we did and interview the eminent and eloquent Erasmian egalitarian ecclesiastic Duncan Wilson Strachan Redbleeder, Westminster Seminarian and official chaplain for Gen-Z For Change – whose membership regularly calls him ‘Boomer’ even though he was born in 1983 – to get his insights on the matter. read more

Tim Pool, Hazbin Hotel, and the Actual State of the Cultural Revolution We’re Supposedly ‘Winning’

By Colby Malsbury

Hello, Quadrennial Election Year, my old friend. It’s good to hear from you again. You show up like clockwork every year we are also blessed with an occult spectacle of global woke athleticism in the summer and an extra day in February, and we are always so much the richer for the combined experience.

But, golly – I suppose that means there won’t be any room for any other topical discourse whatsoever, will there? Especially once we’re past New Hampshire? So I guess we had better discuss tangential but still crucial items while we still can. read more

Some Kinist Musings on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Version 20.0 or Whatever

By Colby Malsbury

It would be hilarious if it weren’t so painfully obvious and stilted.

Not even a week after national security adviser/amateur soothsayer Jake Sullivan cooed that the Middle East was at its quietest since 9/11, Israel engaged in the utterly thinkable and wrought yet another botched attempt to drive Amalek – whom you might be better acquainted with as ‘Palestine’ – into the sea. It’s a generational rite of passage at this point in history, emerging like clockwork every ten years like a Red Sox pennant race or a Rothschild-financed ‘grassroots protest movement’ that’s gonna topple the existing globalist regime for one and all times. read more

How The Left Will Capitalize on a Donald Trump Election in 2024

By Davis Carlton

Donald Trump’s recent federal indictment has only made him more favorable – nay, even beloved – among likely Republican voters. There is a very real possibility that Trump could defeat Joe Biden in a 2024 grudge match. I’d like to indulge in some political speculation about how things might possibly go down. I believe that the leftist establishment might be willing to concede the 2024 election to Donald Trump for strategic purposes. Before I make my case, I want to be clear that this is my speculation about what might happen. I make no hard and fast predictions about what absolutely will happen. read more

Five Ways In Which the Online Right is Amateurish

By Colby Malsbury

Ah, those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer. You can thank Canada for the ‘hazy’ part. When a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of….

….online clout.

And, really, why wouldn’t it? Isn’t there an exceedingly memeable culture war to be waged out there, and isn’t Captain Normie Conn, Web Warrior Extraordinaire all set to deploy? It’s not like he managed to land a job back in June, anyway. There is a plethora of fronts out there for him to open a salvo upon: The continuing incongruity on a meta scale of the entire Barbenheimer phenomenon, the championing of former gun control advocate Jason Aldean’s artificially intelligent anti-woke anthem ‘Try That in a Small Town’, the inevitable jeering against the said Aldean after his inevitable capitulation to the tender mercies of the woke mob, a flurry of interest in the sudden separation of globalist god Justin Trudeau from his stage prop Sophie and the Rite’s hypocritical bleating refrain of ‘let us forbear casting stones against our enemy during this difficult time of his’…..oh, the possibilities are endless. read more

The Doxxing of Pedro Gonzalez

By Davis Carlton

Pedro Gonzalez is a right-wing pundit who has recently been “doxxed” on Breitbart as a “racist” and “anti-Semite.” Screenshots of private conversations that Gonzalez had with others years ago were posted in order to reveal that Gonzalez should be “canceled” given that his opinions of non-whites and Jews are to be considered beyond the pale of acceptable opinion. Gonzalez has become a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump and alleges that the leaks were made by former friends that are upset about Gonzalez leaving the “Trump Train” for good. Gonzalez is now a supporter of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. read more

Let’s Stop Pretending That Russell Moore is Christian

By Davis Carlton

Russell Moore’s atrocious but sadly all too predictable response to Uganda’s criminalizing of sodomy demands a response.

Uganda has recently taken steps to prohibit sodomy by punishing promoters of the same with jail and applying the death penalty for those who are guilty of “aggravated homosexuality.” This just doesn’t sit right with Christianity Today editor-in-chief Russell Moore, who is certain that this type of “authoritarianism” puts one on the “wrong side of Jesus.” Moore penned an op-ed published in “Christianity Astray” to voice his sore displeasure over Christians who would dare to voice their support for measures aimed at keeping people from their God-given right to pursue all manner of degenerate sexual gratification. If you think that I’m reading Moore uncharitably, then buckle up. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. read more
