Weaponized Ignorance

 

Worshipping worldly aspirations.

Shout out to Senator John Kennedy for coining the term “weaponized ignorance.” Virtue signalers. Transgender activists. Global warming disciples. Defenders of illegal alien criminals. Hamas supporters, antisemites, and Islam lovers. Socialism aficionados. Public education indoctrinators. Avowed leftists. Race baiters. The ever leftward leaning media. Useful idiots all. Ignorance can take many forms and can be weaponized in a variety of behaviors. Intelligence is not a prerequisite for the activist class.

“The vocabulary of the political left is fascinating. For example, it is considered to be 'materialistic' and 'greedy' to want to keep what you have earned. But it is 'idealistic' to want to take away what someone else has earned and spend it for your own political benefit or to feel good about yourself.” Thomas Sowell

Intelligence is definitely not required for public service. Perhaps candidates need to pass a test prior to placement on the ballot. This would absolutely improve the quality of our elected representatives, but a better-informed public would be able to prevent the absurdity that exists today.

“The best defense of democracy is an informed electorate.” Thomas Jefferson

The right to peacefully protest and to petition the government for a remedy for their grievances is enshrined in the 1^st Amendment to the US Constitution. Leftist funded anarchists, paid protesters, and self-proclaimed do-gooders attend well organized and often violent demonstrations. Those are not peaceful protests. Those demonstrations are not to petition government for valid grievances. Those are insurrections, carefully planned to create chaos and organize a rebellion.

“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.” Isaac Asimov

Far too many of our public education institutions allow, or perhaps encourage, indoctrination of students to leftist ideology. Rather than educate those students to be productive members of society, they create automatons incapable of rational thought, spouting slogans spoon fed to them by leftist “educators.” Public schools in the US are failing. Test scores are falling below those of some third world countries. Our future leaders are emerging from the rot ingested from our schools and universities.

“In addition to an education, kids were supposed to graduate with some basic values, self-discipline, and life skills. A little common sense wouldn't hurt either. Our schools don't teach that anymore. Instead, we're more concerned about kids having self-esteem and feeling good about themselves than we are about preparing them for real life. The politically correct crowd has taken over our schools, and as a result we are failing our children.” Donald J. Trump

Rational people operate within the rules of civil society and tend to make logical decisions. Irrational people make poor decisions and defy the rules of order without regard to the consequences of their actions. The left has created a generation of irrational people that are used to further the cause of fundamentally transforming this nation into something it was never intended to be. Irrational hatred drives the speech and actions of these deranged leftists. And that hate has spread to erstwhile “normal” liberals and democrats. Unhinged attacks upon the very freedoms protecting the citizens of this nation push society ever closer to a new civil war.

“Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.” Martin Luther King Jr.

The democrat party has decided that hatred of all things Trump is a winning strategy. Fact is, that there are no policies from the democrats that are positive for the citizens of the United States. Their platform, especially their obsession with promoting abortion and transgenderism for children, is void of anything positive. They have devolved into incessant ranting about Trump being an existential threat to democracy. It is truly sad that so much hatred is misdirected when democrats should be offering an alternative plan other than simply opposing anything Trump and Republicans propose.

“There will always be dissident voices heard in the land, expressing opposition without alternatives, finding fault but never favor, perceiving gloom on every side and seeking influence without responsibility.” John F. Kennedy.

The legacy media continues to trumpet opinion as if it is reporting the news objectively. When facts are omitted or ignored when they fail to bolster the left’s argument, journalists fail in their duty to report and inform the public. As the Fourth Estate, they are to hold the powerful accountable, for both parties. That is about as far from the truth as more than 90% of legacy news reporting is negative toward President Trump and Republicans. When will people realize that they are being spoon fed a narrative that is detrimental to civil society?

“The press is called the Fourth Estate. It is definitely a power, but to misuse that power is criminal.” Mahatma Gandhi.

Islamophobia is cited almost as often as “white” people are decried as racists. Wake up and smell the roses, Muslims intend to overrun the western world, eliminate our freedoms, and institute sharia law. Sharia law will prohibit homosexuality, freedom of expression, and end all other religions. Yet leftists fail to understand that they have no place in an Islamic society and would likely face a death sentence should Muslims come to power.

”Islam is more than a religion, it's much more than a religion, it's a way of life, it is a one-party political system that has a very elaborate legal system that can put you to death if you leave it.” Reza Aslan.

Secularism is encroaching upon the Judeo-Christian values that this nation was founded upon. This is the very reason behind the chaos that is overwhelming western society. Secularism lacks the moral compass that Christianity provides. Secularism denies our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, ordaining the worship and love of self over the worship and love of God. The one who had no sin that sacrificed Himself, took upon our sin, and rose again so that we may have eternal life is the solution to all that ails our society. All He wants is our heart. Follow Jesus and hatred melts. Follow Jesus and love triumphs. Follow Jesus and reject the ignorance that leads to chaos and death. Love one another as He loves us. This must be proclaimed loudly and proudly from the pulpit. God’s will is recorded in black and white, not in shades of gray. Pastors must call out what is evil. We are sheep in need of spiritual guidance. If the pulpit is silent or lacks the courage to call out what is wrong in God’s eyes, that pastor not only fails in his/her duty to properly serve the Lord, but risks losing their sheep to the evil of the world.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.” Jesus Christ.

Follow Jesus, the light of the world!

 

 

 

Integration

 

Islam will not relent until all convert.

Funny how life can often be boiled down into Star Trek episode plot lines. Back to the Borg, the all-conquering aliens that will assimilate all cultures into their own. Islam is less a religion than it is a political ideology. Muslims have emigrated throughout the western world like locusts, rejecting each welcoming nation’s culture and refusing to integrate into society. Like the Borg, their end goal is to overcome all who refuse to accept their prophet Mohammed, acknowledge Allah as their god, and replace the current government with Islamic rule.

Sexual assaults in European nations that welcome Muslim immigrants have exploded, with Muslim rape gangs committing multiple offenses. Islam apparently relegates women to less than human status. The Quran (4:34) gives license for men to subjugate women and encourages husbands to use corporal punishment to ensure their obedience. So much for equality.

Islam rejects homosexuality outright and instructs its followers to stone or to kill those transgressors.  Quran 7:80-84 "...For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds.... And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone)"

 "An account that is borrowed from the Biblical story of Sodom. Muslim scholars through the centuries have interpreted the "rain of stones" on the town as meaning that homosexuals should be stoned, since no other reason is given for the people's destruction." - The religionofpeace.com.

In 2025, followers of Islam, the alleged religion of peace, perpetrated 2010 attacks in 48 countries, killing 14004 and injuring 6653. So much for the religion of peace. Peace to Islam is simply uttering the phrase, “Peace be upon him.” But what of the moderate Muslims? They are few and far between and their failure to condemn violence in the name of Allah is deafening.

In the Middle Ages most Christians could not read. They depended upon Catholic priests to impart Biblical teachings to them. Their spiritual life was dependent upon Catholic church doctrine and traditions. Yet, mass was performed in Latin, a language few understood, until the 20^th century. It is not surprising that many wayward traditions, such as indulgences, arose during this time. Many Muslim clerics preach Islamism, a more radical and abhorrent interpretation of the Quran and how Muslims are to interact in society. This is how radicals are created and encouraged.

Islam instructs its followers to reject everything that makes western society and the United States unique. Tolerance is not to be offered, particularly to the non-believer. Muslims are using the freedoms of western society to overthrow the very nations that welcome them. Islam is antithetical to a free and open society.

The Bible encourages hospitality. It also advises to use wisdom to avoid thieves or those who would cause you or your family harm. One must apply discernment when offering charity, serving those who truly are in need.

“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” - Galatians 6:10

As we open our nation to refugees, we must make certain to offer our freedoms to those who would accept them gratefully, agree to obey our laws, and integrate into society. Muslims that refuse should have our hospitality revoked and sent back to their country of origin. Muslims stand accused of defrauding US taxpayer of tens of $Billions. Yet their Quran (16:106, 3:54, 3:28) condones and even encourages dishonesty and deceitfulness when dealing with non-believers in order to gain their trust so that they can be defeated. The tenets of Islam do not comport with a civil society. The behaviors that it condones must be rejected. Islam is wedded to 7^th Century conduct that is wholly unacceptable today. Islam cannot and will not co-exist with our values.

Allowing Islam to grow and spread within this nation will ultimately concede our way of life to an Islamic theocracy. We need to look no further than the European nations that have opened their borders and have been overwhelmed by the Muslim horde. If Muslim have their way, the United States will be no more. Muslim clerics preach hate and denigrate the very nation offering them hospitality, yet we fail to understand the threat to this nation.

“They will devour your harvest and food; they will consume your sons and daughters; they will eat up your flocks and herds; they will feed on your vines and fig trees. With the sword they will destroy the fortified cities in which you trust.” – Jeremiah 5:17

 

Community

 

Hatred thrives in on-line solitude.

Human beings need community. Civilization developed to nurture that personal connection. Prolonged solitude turns the soul inward, toward selfishness. Without discussion and debate, we villainize those with values different than our own. Our faith is what drives our very being. Our God created us with an emptiness that can only be filled with an intimate relationship with Him. Corporate worship and Bible study offers us the opportunity to grow together in the Spirit. “Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.  For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” Matthew 18:19-20

The lack of face-to-face interactions, instead relying upon the anonymity of device-to-device communication, has afforded users to avoid social interaction. Hiding behind a screen allows one to denounce and attack opposing viewpoints, without actual consequence, and enables animosity to fester. News feeds, X posts, and other social media are tailored by algorithms to each user’s preferences, presenting information that supports the user’s opinions, further isolating them from differing opinions. It has become effortless to foster hate by hiding facts that prevent one from learning both sides of issues. In fact, by filtering out competing news, the full truth is silenced while one side of the argument is amplified.

Incessant rhetoric from the left has increasingly raised the temperature in our political discourse. Democrat party leaders pour gasoline on the fire of division with comments likening their political rivals to Hitler, tyrants, and accuse them of opposition to any other “oppressed” class. Political leaders that stoke division and promote hate must be rejected at the ballot box if they fail to return to God. The constant drumbeat that villainizes those with Christian and conservative values has created tribal warfare as an acceptable response to settle disagreements. There are those who have become so radicalized by hateful leftist ideology that contemplating and/or committing violence has become a viable option.

Charlie Kirk literally accepted Jesus’ call to the Great Commission, to make disciples of the world. He engaged in debate with those who hated him because of his faith and political opinion. Through his platform, Turning Point USA, he literally entered the lion’s den of leftism to respectfully preach the Gospel and truly listen to those who disagreed, while doing his best to reach out with a sincere love of his neighbor.  Charlie was able to plant seeds of faith throughout the universities in which he preached. As democrat leaders mischaracterized, no, willfully lied about Charlie and his views and speech, people believed those lies. And those lies inspired a weak-minded individual to end Charlie’s debate forever with a bullet. We cannot let an assassin’s bullet silence and end the work that Charlie engaged in as he obediently preached the Gospel with the love of Jesus in his heart.

If we fail to engage those who have been unduly influenced by the evil advocated by leftist ideology, they will be lost forever. As Christians it is our duty spread the love of Jesus by preaching the Gospel, unashamedly. “And a servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, and forbearing.  He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.  Then they will come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to his will. 2 Timothy 2:24-26.

We have God’s handbook to assist us in performing His will. The Bible contains all the ammunition necessary to speak His Truth. Read it daily. Learn it. Pray on it. Study it with other believers. We can no longer be meek and quiet. We can no longer stand by and let evil overtake our brothers and sisters. No matter how lost our brothers and sisters may become, God loves them unconditionally, just as he loves each of us. There is nothing we can do to make God love us any more. There is nothing that we can do to make God love us any less. We have a duty to proclaim God’s love to the world so that none are lost to the evil one. Plant the seeds that just may encourage them to return to community of faith. Be bold and courageous, armed with the Holy Spirit that dwells within all of us.

“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints.” Ephesians 6:11-12, 18

If at First You don’t Succeed

 

Lie, lie again!

As the democrat party fades into irrelevancy, they have launched a strategy to use outright lies to undermine the Trump administration. There is no nuance to their actions since they have nothing valid to offer this nation, other than bitter hatred of Trump. The democrat party was rejected in the 2024 election, yet they continue to embrace insane leftist ideology. Democrats have lost their way. They stubbornly cling to all things woke, even though this often places them at odds with 70-80% of the population. Not only is the democrat party failing to adjust their strategy to align with common sense societal values, they refuse to acknowledge the error of their ways.

Democrats on transgenderism – They remain steadfast in their belief that little Johnny can become little Janet and that if the child chooses to alter their gender, parents need not be consulted. It is ideology over reality. They approve of chosen gender pronouns, gender reassignment surgeries, and life altering puberty blocking drugs for minors. Anyone else that is gender confused can obtain medical treatments at government expense, including those imprisoned. Male inmates can elect to be housed with females if they claim that they are women. There are no unforeseen consequences to those actions that could occur?

Democrats on LGTBQI+ - Woke school boards allow pornographic homosexual novels to be placed in elementary school libraries. The very same books, when read aloud by parents at a school board meeting are shut down due to their graphic nature. Pride flags flown proudly at democrat state capitols take the place of state and POW flags. Pride parades that are no more than an excuse for homosexual exhibitionism are celebrated. Pride month? Where do their priorities lie?

Democrats on fraud, waste, and bloated bureaucracy – It would seem that making government more efficient and accountable would be an issue that transcends politics, but democrats are fighting DOGE tooth and nail. They are beholden to the public sector unions that funnel $Millions to the DNC. Unfortunately, some elected officials may find themselves in hot water once Elon and his compatriots follow the money trail from these bloated agencies. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are facing insolvency in the next decade. If we cannot trim down the federal budget, those entitlements could be severely reduced. Interest payments on the national debt is approaching $1Trillon annually. Democrats continue to accuse Trump of trying to gut those programs, when their obstructionism will adversely affect the solvency of those programs.

Democrats on “saving our democracy” – over 100 lawsuits have been filed to obstruct legitimate executive actions by cherry picking radical leftist judges, most that have no jurisdiction on the matter, then have the audacity to issue orders to the President. Imagine that, a US District Court Judge issuing rulings that restrict the executive branch from carrying out Constitutionally protected duties and executive orders. Next federal laws, upheld as constitutional will be struck down by any radical leftist judge and the democrats will approve.

Democrats as the “loyal opposition” party – Resist, obstruct, derail, lie, and whatever else is necessary to destroy not only the Trump administration, but the majority of this nation that elected him. Not only has their rhetoric influenced radicals within the US, it has emboldened other nations to act brazenly against the US. Our nation’s world standing has suffered as democrats continually rebuke every White House statement or action.

Democrats on tariffs – Other nations have accumulated massive trade surpluses with the US due to their imposing tariffs on US goods. Canada has amassed over $60 Billion, Mexico over $150 Billion annually. Democrats lambast President Trump’s reciprocal tariffs as “inflationary” when the reciprocity will simply level the playing field and likely lower other countries tariffs on the US. Democrats are wrong again and their resistance will ultimately harm the US consumer.

The list could go on, but democrats have made the choice to be on the wrong side of history, yet they resist changing direction. Unless they return to a semblance of normalcy and begin to prioritize serving the people again, rather than being the obstructionists that they now are, they will fade into oblivion. And it will be well deserved.

A worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth, winking his eyes, speaking with his feet, and pointing with his fingers. With deceit in his heart he devises evil; he continually sows discord. Therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in an instant he will be shattered beyond recovery. Proverbs 6:12-15.

Sound a bit like today’s democrat party? Well, if the shoe fits, wear it!
