The Woke Chuch: United Methodist Church Hosts “Family Friendly Pride Prom”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

“A Christian church in Texas hosted a drag event last weekend that was oprn to families, prompting protests from locals urging the attendees to “DEFEND PURITY, REJECT PERVERSION.” 

The First United Methodist Church in Sherman, Texas became the venue for the May 13 LGBTQ event, after it was moved from its original location at nearby Pecan Grove Park. 

The event, called “Pride Prom,” was billed by organizers as a “family-friendly drag show.” A poster for the event, which had the original venue on it, read, “Pride Prom. Be True To You. Saturday, May 13th, 8-11 PM.”

The poster noted the event would have “open mic karaoke,” the “family-friendly drag show” and that it would be hosted by Alex Gemini. The event was organized by Grayson County Pride, an organization representing the local LGBTQ community.

Reports noted that the venue changed last minute and was held at the “Mosaic Campus” of First United Methodist.” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

Before I begin, please allow me to be honest with you.

I left the United Methodist Church at the age of 39, when I realized that, thanks to those in control of the denomination, whose headquarters was in the Northeast, some parts of the UMC were beginning to value secularism more than it did the Word of God.

How did I come to that conclusion?

I walked into a Sunday School class and a theology student was teaching out of a book titled, “Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalists”.

While I hated to leave the Choir Director whom I had sang under for 20 years, like Belshazzar, I saw the writing upon the wall.

That was 25 years ago.

Now, after a long journey down a road filled with Liberals’ “religion of social justice”, the United Methodist Church has paid for following the word of man instead of the Word of God by experiencing a mass exodus of their members, leading to the formation of a new Methodist Denomination.

A Christian “Church” who believes that the Bible is NOT the Word of God is not a CHRISTIAN Church,

It can call itself a Social Justice Center.

It can call itself a Tabernacle of Wokeness.

However, if you devalue the Bible, the Holy Scriptures which are a “two-edged sword” and the key to learning about the foundation of the Christian Faith, then you are studying modern culture and not the history of the Hebrew people and the House of David, from whose lineage came Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.

What has happened to the United Methodist Church has happened to every organization, religious or secular, which has embraced “Political Correctness” or as it is called nowadays “Wokeness.”

Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutherans, and even the Southern Baptists, are allowing popular culture to change their focus from God’s Word to man’s politics.

“Wokeness” has taken the place of “Righteousness”.

The rise of “Wokeness” within Christian Churches is something that is literally tearing apart the fabric of our country.

The only conclusion that I, as a Christian American can reach, is the fact that our Sovereign Nation is in the midst of SPIRITUAL WARFARE for its very soul.

Make no mistake about it, boys and girls, EVIL EXISTS.

My friends, I believe that we are fighting a war against “princes and principalities”. Evil is still alive and well and flourishing in a world in which relative morality and situational ethics are increasingly being accepted as normal behavior.

We see it everyday around us.

Churches used to be a place to refresh the soul and to experience the presence of the Holy Spirit through corporate worship.

Too many have become concert venues and political rallies.

Christians repent of their sins. They don’t celebrate them.

At least, they didn’t use to.

Now, they hold a “Family Friendly Pride Prom.”

“New Coke” Deja Vu – Americans Say THIS Bud’s Not for Them Anymore

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

“Beer juggernaut Anheuser-Busch has seen its value nosedive nearly $5 billion since Bud Light’s polarizing partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.

According to the Dow Jones Market Data Group, Bud Light’s parent company is down 4.7 percent and has lost about $4.56 billion in market cap since March 31.

The beer maker’s stock shed more than 1.5% on Wednesday alone. The stock was $66.73 per share on March 31 and closed at $63.38 on Wednesday.

An analysis on the matter was first published in the New York Post.

Mulvaney, a trans activist and social media influencer who gained prominence when given an opportunity to interview President Biden about LGBTQ issues in 2022, revealed earlier this month that the beer company sent packs of Bud Light with her face printed on the cans as part of an ad for the beer company’s March Madness contest and as a way to celebrate a full year of “girlhood.”

Mulvaney said the cans were her “most prized possession” on Instagram with a post featuring “#budlightpartner.” A video then featured Mulvaney in a bathtub drinking a Bud Light beer as part of the campaign, but the pact was met with significant criticism.

Anheuser-Busch stock plummeting comes as country music singer John Rich said he pulled cases of Bud Light from his Nashville, Tennessee, bar as part of a boycott against Anheuser-Busch; conservative rocker Kid Rock used several Bud Light cases for target practice in a viral video; and there has been widespread backlash on social media while beer distributors are concerned.

The “genius” behind the biggest marketing blunder since New Coke is a young chick who got her degree from Harvard.

By now, some of you are saying, “New Coke? What’s that?”

MSNBC.com has the story:

“It was early 1985, and the news was slowly leaking out: The Coca-Cola Co. was working on a new kind of Coke, a variation of a product that reached back through American history, a rejoinder to the emerging challenge from an upstart called Pepsi.

The company, already two years into taste tests and research, was working with the secrecy of a military operation.

Then on April 23, New Coke was launched with fanfare, including prime-time TV ads. Company Chairman Roberto C. Goizueta proclaimed New Coke “smoother, rounder yet bolder,” speaking of it more like a fine wine than a carbonated treat.

But public reaction was overwhelmingly negative; some people likened the change in Coke to trampling the American flag.

Soon people were hoarding cases of the old stuff. In June 1985, Newsweek reported that savvy black marketeers sold old Coke for $30 a case. A Hollywood producer, giving an old vintage its proper respect, reportedly rented a wine cellar to hold 100 cases of the old Coke.

On July 11, Coca-Cola yanked New Coke from store shelves.”

The “genius” has said in an interview that Bud Light’s image was too “fratty”, meaning members of college fraternities were its customer base and that base needed to be more “diverse” in order to increase its size.

She missed that one by a country mile, didn’t she?

This Harvard Chick overestimated her own intelligence like “the smartest people in the room” usually do.

She thought that the entire country was as “Woke” as the Northeast.

Just like the “Wokesheviks” at Disney, she had no clue that average Americans are still cherishing Traditional American Faith and Values and Far Left “Wokeness”, especially personified in the form of a freak like Mulvaney, fills them with revulsion.

Well, I hope that the European owners of Anheuser-Busch and the Harvard Chick learn a lesson from this.

Go Woke. Go Broke.

“Woke” Pentagon’s “Diversity Chief” Not Disciplined for Racially-Divisive Remarks

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

The Pentagon said it will issue no disciplinary action to its former diversity, equity and inclusion chief, Kelisa Wing, over a series of divisive statements about White people, according to a Thursday letter to the office of Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., who sits on the House Armed Services Committee.

Wing was appointed as diversity, equity and inclusion chief at the Pentagon’s education wing — the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) — in 2021. She was involved in curriculum at DoDEA, which services over 60,000 military-connected children at 160 schools around the globe.

Wing has stated that her goal was to “tear down the system” in education. When asked about whether it was time for a “racial reckoning” and “revolution,” she responded in the affirmative.

Wing was put under probe by the Pentagon on Sept. 17 over tweets which referred to White people as “Karen[s].”

“I’m exhausted with these white folx in these [professional development] sessions,” she wrote.

“[T]his lady actually had the CAUdacity to say that black people can be racist too… I had to stop the session and give Karen the BUSINESS… [W]e are not the majority, we don’t have power,” Wing said in a tweet.

“Caudacity” is a slang term that is used to describe audacity demonstrated by White people.

On another occasion, Wing responded to a user who said, “I am exhausted by 99% of the white men in education and 95% of the white women. Where can I get a break from white nonsense for a while?”

Wing responded, “If another Karen tells me about her feelings… I might lose it…”

The Pentagon repeatedly dragged its feet at releasing the findings of the investigation. Gil Cisneros, the Under Secretary of Personnel and Readiness, was presented with the findings starting in October.” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

The “Wokeness” which has infected every aspect of our American society has politicized our Armed Forces.

Imagine ignoring the fact that Americans of all races and religion are already serving their country and deciding that a “diversity chief” was needed.

This heifer should have never been allowed anywhere near the men and women serving our country.

Besides, isn’t a RASCIST “diversity chief” an oxymoron?

The decision to hire “Woke useful idiots” like her, along with the decision to allow transvestites to enter our Armed Forces, and along with all the political shenanigans including Proper Pronoun Training, is the reason that enrollment in our military is way down.

The New “Woke” Armed Forces” has been brought about by the same pointy-headed individuals who have introduced CRT racial divisiveness and LGBTQ Grooming into the curriculum of our nations’ public-school systems.

Traditional American Morality and Values are a roadblock to Progressives’ Plans, as regards to the “Good of the State” or their plans for a Socialist Paradise.

That same Traditional American Morality and Values have always been a key component of our Armed Forces.

Hence, the desire of Liberals like the Obama and Biden-Harris Administrations to turn them into a laboratory for Social Engineering experimentation.

They can try.

This Administration has succeeded in dividing Americans in a manner that has not been seen in decades.

However, unfortunately for those who espouse the “singularity of thought” of the Hive-mind, they will never win.

We are Americans. We cherish our Faith, our Families, our Freedom of Thought, and our Freedom to remain a Sovereign Nation

We will not be assimilated.

May God Bless our Brightest and Best.

9th Grader’s Parents File Lawsuit Because Daughter Was Forced to Stand Still During Pledge of Allegiance

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

“The parents of a ninth grade South Carolina student who said she was accosted by a teacher for quietly walking to class instead of stopping and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance are suing the teacher, principal, school district and state education officials.

Marissa Barnwell said she was walking quietly to class and decided not to stop for the pledge or a moment of silence that followed. A teacher yelled at her, confronted her and pushed her against a wall.

Barnwell was then sent to the principal’s office, which she said was humiliating because she feared she was in trouble. The principal promised to look at the video of the encounter and sent her back to class, but Barnwell said he never let her know that the teacher was wrong and she was right.

“I was completely and utterly disrespected,” Barnwell, 15, said at a news conference Thursday, according to The State newspaper. “No one has apologized, no one has acknowledged my hurt. … The fact that the school is defending that kind of behavior is unimaginable.”

Barnwell’s parents are suing the River Bluff High School teacher, the principal, Lexington School District 1, and the South Carolina Education Department in federal court, saying they violated the girl’s civil rights and her First Amendment rights to both free speech or not to speak at all.

A state law passed more than 30 years ago requires public schools to play the Pledge of Allegiance at a specific time every day.

But that law also prohibits punishing anyone who refuses to recite the pledge as long as they are not disruptive or infringe on others.

“The thing that’s beautiful about America is we have freedoms,” said Tyler Bailey, the family’s lawyer. “Students in our schools should feel safe, they should not feel threatened for exercising their constitutional rights.” (Courtesy Newsmax.com)

I remember back in elementary school, every morning we began by singing “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning” and then, reciting The Pledge of Allegiance. Even remembering that ritual today, I find comfort in it.

In the South, at least in the Mississippi County in which I live, the school day still begins with the recitation of the Pledge, which is led by a group of students, standing around a microphone in the Principal’s Office.

Unfortunately, that is no longer the case in many schools around our blessed land.

Good old-fashioned American Patriots are now considered by Woke Far Left Democrats to be “White Nationalists”

So, what is the cause of this 180 degree turn from where we were, as a mostly cohesive society, based on love of God and Country, which I remember so fondly from my childhood, to where we are now as a country divided and compromised, to a certain extent, of individuals, who believe in relative morality, situational ethics, and a malleable Constitution.

Learned individuals have been trying to discern exactly what has caused this societal and cultural decline, and in the process, they have blamed it on everything from poor schools to poverty to malnutrition.

Being a simple man, (Hey, that would make a great title for a rock song. Oh, wait. It was. Never mind.) I believe that because Americans have wanted, for at least 3 generations now, to give their children everything materialistically possible.

They have to a great extent, ignored teaching their children both how to discern between right and wrong and how to be grateful for living in the Greatest Country on the Face of the Earth. A country that provides them with endless opportunities and advantages…like college scholarships.

God’s Word tells us that we, as parents, should “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” – Proverbs 22:6 (ESV)

What these ungrateful parents and their teenager do not understand is the fact that the exceptionalism of America lies not in the Halls of Power but in the courage and spirit of the average American. A courage and spirit, which our history proves, has driven American citizens to build a nation which is indeed exceptional among all others.

A nation which they are free to leave anytime they wish, in order to find one in which they will not feel so “oppressed.”

Good luck with that.

Go Woke, Go Stupid: Columbia University Drops SAT, ACT Test Admission Requirements

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

“Columbia University has permanently dropped its SAT and ACT standardized test requirements for undergraduate admissions.

The Columbia College and the School of Engineering and Applied Science will be “test-optional for all applicants,” meaning that applicants will no longer have to send SAT and ACT scores.

Columbia Undergraduate Admissions announced Wednesday that Columbia would become the first school in the Ivy League to become permanently test-optional.

“We have designed our application to afford the greatest possible opportunity and flexibility for students to represent themselves fully and showcase their academic talents, interests and goals. Standardized testing is not a required component of our application,” the school wrote in the announcement.

“Our review is purposeful and nuanced—respecting varied backgrounds, voices and experiences—in order to best determine an applicant’s suitability for admission and ability to thrive in our curriculum and our community, and to advance access to our educational opportunities,” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

This has to be dumbest thing that I have ever heard.

For decades, the SAT and ACT Tests have provided a measuring stick through which colleges and universities could assess whether high school graduates had actually learned, after attending school for twelve years, the general knowledge needed to succeed in 4, 6, or 8 years in an Institute of Higher Learning.

Now, it seems that the purpose of Columbia and other “Woke” colleges and universities like it is no longer education but brainwashing and assimulating young minds full of mush into Cultural Marxism in the name of “Diversity” and “Equity”.

What Columbia and other “Woke” universities are telling high school graduates is that they are too dumb to be measured by the same standards as their older siblings, parents, grandparents, family members, and friends who studied their butts off in order to make a good score on the SAT and/or ACT in order to attend college based on their academic accomplishments and not the color of their skin or their political ideology.

I am a college graduate. I graduated 30th out of a Senior Class of 360, with a GPA of 3.54 and an ACT Score of 25.

I worked my butt off to accomplish that.

I am a better, stronger person because of my individual achievement in academia and my achievements since.

That is what the Cultural Marxism known as “Wokeness” is taking away from young Americans: the feeling of accomplishment that individual achievement brings.

And, that is exactly why universities are going “Woke”.

You can’t “radically change” America without eliminating individual achievement.

HBO Max’s Woke “Scooby-Doo” Spin-off “Velma” Features Her Pole-Dancing for Dad

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

“The “Scooby Doo” spin-off series “Velma,” produced by actress Mindy Kaling, continued to rile up viewers with more sexual content this week as it officially became the worst-rated animated show. The fifth and sixth episodes of the series were released on Thursday and contained the usual woke content, with one especially egregious scene.

Episode six, titled “The Sins of the Fathers and Some of the Mothers,” focused primarily on the titular character attempting to reconnect with her distant father to help her locate her missing mother. They start by meeting up at an old diner they frequented to only have it revealed that it has become a strip club named “Nana’s Nipples.”

Various strippers pole dance around the diner, though Velma’s father pays them and his daughter no attention, instead he obsesses over work. After he leaves to take a phone call, Velma decides the best way to evoke a response from her dad is to pole dance herself.

“Velma” does a brief pole-dance in the most recent episode released on Thursday. (HBO Max)

“I’m doing what every girl is doing up here,” Velma says. “I’m just trying to get my dad’s attention.”

Neither her father nor the other patrons are amused, with one man moaning, “Oh, yeah. Keep it all on.” And another saying, “Show me nothing, baby.”

The previous episodes came under fire for joking about sexualizing teens and kids, particularly due to the fact that the titular character is in high school and a lesbian.

…Since the show premiered on Jan. 12, the series endured vicious reviews from both audiences and critics. As of publication, “Velma” garnered over 46,000 one-star ratings on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) website, with less than 2,000 giving the show a 10 out of 10. The aggregated 1.3 IMDB rating makes “Velma” the third-worst rated show and this week it was announced the series is the worst-rated animated show on the site.” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

“Wokeness” is not a high-minded intellectual movement. Rather, it is a cult embracing immorality, totalitarianism, and the purposeful elimination of Traditional American Faith and Values.

Those who embrace “Wokeness” have been indoctrinated in our schools to be advocates for Cultural Marxism, which will eventually lead to a full-blown Marxist America.

Their singularity of thought has been deemed by these “Useful Idiots” to be the cause of their Enlightenment.

And, because they believe this to be the ultimate in knowledge and understanding, there is no room for God’s Word, whether spoken from a pulpit or read in the Bible.

That is why churches which have decided to follow society, instead of the Word of God, in order to increase their numbers, are finding that it is not working to the extent that they thought that it would.

Man is a fallen creature.

Yes, there is a divine spark in each of us but it is given to us by God, not by following a cult-like political movement.

Just like the folks at HBOMax are finding out, when you listen to those who proclaim evil as good, you are doomed to failure.

Every political movement that has thought themselves to be smarter than everybody else and more worthy of existence, has failed.

So will the Woke Movement, embraced by the Far Left Democrats, which we are currently seeing in America.

There is still good and evil. There is still right and wrong.

As President Ronald Reagan reminded us, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

DC’s “Joker” Gives Birth. How Sick.

On By kingsjesterIn Entertainment, PoliticsLeave a comment

“In the latest issue of DC Comics’ series, “The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing,” Batman’s nemesis actually carries and gives birth to a child. 

Readers may be tempted to think this is part of DC’s attempt to do some woke, LGBTQ-inclusive storytelling with The Joker being a transgender man undergoing a typical pregnancy, though it’s not quite that simple.

In this volume, created by Matthew Rosenberg and Carmine Di Giandomenico, the “Clown prince of Crime” becomes pregnant by some unnatural curse and gives birth in a vomit-inducing way, literally. 

Backstory on this latest issue detailed how Joker wanted to pursue an heir in a more traditional way, by courting the super-heroine Zatanna into starting a family with him. Though his advances are rebuffed, and the tables are turned on Joker in a surprisingly disturbing manner.

In DC’s universe, Zatanna is a magic user who can bringing can cast spells by speaking in reverse. Disturbed by the Joker’s attempt to court her, she casts a spell on him to ensure that “no one else will ever have [the Joker’s] baby,” the comic reads.

Though as with many magic spells in fiction, the hex doesn’t work as envisioned. Rather than turning Joker into female-repellant as one would expect, the spell makes it so that the villain himself becomes pregnant and has his own baby. 

The manner in which this happens during the issue may be one of the strangest DC Comics moments in recent memory. Joker gives birth by vomiting a sort of brown goo that, upon leaving his body, forms into a young boy that looks just like Joker.” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

Growing up in the 1960s, I had a three-shelves bookcase filled with DC and Marvel comic books that my Daddy eventually took to the Pediatric Ward of the hospital in which I was born.

Comic books stirred my imagination.

They provided a way to escape the boundaries of my bedroom and the rest of the junk I dealt with as an asthmatic child.

Then, in the early 1970s, the writers and editors at DC began to insert political issues into their comics, and slowly, things began to change for the worst.

And now, DC is attempting to show children that men can be pregnant, even though that notion is physically impossible.

Men getting pregnant is physically impossible, no matter what the ignorant Far Left Democrats claim.

Comic books have been pushing “Wokeness ” for quite a while.

They have gone from being entertaining to being Propaganda Agents for the Democrat mission of “Social Justice for Radical Change.”

I guess writing actual Comic Books in which good triumphs over evil is too hard for this generation of “Woke” Comic Book Writers.

They would rather act as Propaganda Agents for an illogical Marxist Political Party.

And, as Political Groomers.

Sick. (And, not in a good way.)

2022: The Year That Hollywood Found Out That Going Woke Means Going Broke

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

“A swath of films, books and other media projects with far-left messages failed with audiences and consumers this year, according to box office numbers and sales.

Disney’s first animated film with an openly LGBT character “Strange World,” tanked at the box office last month. The film had a whopping $180 million budget but only took in $24 million when it opened during the Thanksgiving holiday week, according to Variety. Pixar’s latest installment in the popular Toy Story franchise, “Lightyear,” failed to meet expectations, earning $51 million at the box office. The family-friendly series owned by Disney attracted headlines for having a same-sex kiss.

“Lightyear” debuted to $51 million last summer, falling short of the $70 million minimum it was expected to earn. (AP Newsroom)

Another film focused on LGBT characters, “Bros,” didn’t move the needle at the box office, either. Star Billy Eichner furiously warned “homophobes” on Twitter to not come see the movie. It grossed $14.8 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. The New York Times suggested “homophobia” could be the reason the gay romantic comedy was unsuccessful.

Movies with overtly political themes like the star-studded “Amsterdam” also failed to attract audiences this year. The film about friends who uncover a plot to overthrow the government, featured Robert De Niro’s character giving a “thinly veiled speech telling off Trump.”

One critic even argued “Amsterdam” was a result of the director’s distaste for Trump.

“Clearly, David O. Russell is another creative who saw Trump become the President, lost his mind, and then gathered as many celebrities as he could to defend one of the most agreeable stances in the history of the world: that hate is bad and kindness is good. It’s the kind of lukewarm, on-the-nose take that elicited audible groans throughout the theater,” Josh Rosenberg wrote for Esquire.

It opened to a mere $6 million, according to Box Office Mojo.

Media projects by far-left figures also didn’t seem to resonate with Americans.

The climate change documentary “To the End” from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was a big flop, earning just $80 per theater in ticket sales.

Journalist Jemele Hill’s memoir “Uphill,” also had a rocky start, selling only a little over 5,000 copies since it debuted in October, according to publisher data reported by OutKick Sports’ Bobby Burack.

Comedian Jon Stewart’s new Apple TV+ streaming show and podcast called “The Problem with Jon Stewart” was also a “flop,” according to several reports. By the show’s fifth episode in March, viewership went down 78%, according to Bloomberg.

Stewart’s show has been criticized for its “super-woke” takes on race. In an April episode, he claimed that achieving the American Dream for Blacks was “a fallacy.”

This embracing and advocacy of Wokeness by those who are paid handsomely to entertain us is a direct result of an isolated ignorance of average Americans’ desire to rid ourselves of those in the Halls of Power who told us repeatedly that they knew what was best for us and “who we were”, while their actual mission was to turn America into a Third-World Barrio in their quest to make us a Socialist Paradise.

The Liberal Elite have always believed that our country revolves around the big metropolitan areas in the Northeast and in California. They have always looked down their noses at what they derisively call “Flyover Country”, the same area that many of us call the Heartland of America or simply “home”.

Their political viewpoint is as disingenuous as the Facebook Trolls who Washington Post OpinionPieces as “real news”.

Just like their fellow Far Left Liberals who run the Democratic Party, the disconnected “dancing monkeys” in Tinsel Town and the Big Apple just can not accept the fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans living between the coasts, the ones responsible for their opulent lifestyle are sick and tired of their overbearing arrogance, anti-Americanism, and Liberal Intolerance which they attempt to force upon average Americans as “art” while attempting to lecture average Americans as to why our “clinging to our Bibles and guns” is positively gauche and awful.

All their incessant national temper tantrum over Former President Trump’s Presidency and the forced acceptance of Wokeness has done is to make them look like fools and to remind us of how disconnected their beliefs are from average Americans, as Ricky Gervais once pointed out in no uncertain terms.

I don’t remember any of us average Americans asking them for their opinion as to how we should live our lives, do you?

And, I certainly do not remember them being appointed as the arbiters of what is “Hate Speech” and what words are allowed to be communicated freely among Americans.

Perhaps, if they got their noses out of the air and actually associated with their families and former friends “back home”, instead of kissing each other’s hindquarters at the latest premiere or “social event”, perhaps they and reality would not have taken divergent paths, and they would conduct themselves and  comport themselves like those Hollywood Legends before them, who served their country during World War II, doing whatever they could to help America defeat fascism.

Now, these pampered ,self-righteous, oblivious Lightweights are all proponents of the “New Fascism” being practiced by the Modern Democratic (Socialist) Party.

And, they see no problem with insulting and being condescending to the average Americans who “pay their salaries” by watching the garbage being produced out of Hollywood.

As we say down here in the part of America’s Heartland, known as Dixie…

It just don’t make no sense.

And, evidently, the majority of Americans agree with us.

Is “Wokeness” Destroying The Church?

On By kingsjesterIn Christianity, PoliticsLeave a comment

“An English bishop is pushing back after a church choir sang a “woke” version of a popular Christmas carol injecting LGBT and “inclusive” language into the song.

“God rest you queer and questioning, your anxious hearts be still,” a line of the amended U.S. version of “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen” sung by the All Saints with Holy Trinity choir in Loughborough, England, said, according to The Express, with another saying, “God rest you also, women, who by men have been erased. Through history ignored and scorned, defiled and displaced.”

Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, took issue with the amended version of the song and the injection of progressive wording.

“I think what Christmas does, and many other moments, it tells us the importance of ritual,” Nichols told Times Radio. “Ritual helps us to step outside of our own little bubble and connect with something we have received, inherited and that we hope to pass on.

Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, speaks at a vigil outside Westminster Abbey. (Jack Taylor/Getty Images)

“Those values are the continuation of musical repertoire, of the ability to sing together, of looking at the rituals that have been fashioned over centuries. Those are probably for me more important than particular sensitivities which come and go.”

The amended U.S. version, written by Jeffrey Wilsor and used by the progressive Hollywood United Methodist Church, retains only the first two lines of the original song, which dates back to 17th-century England.

“We are striving to be an inclusive, eco-conscious and intercultural worshipping community (IWC) engaged with issues of social, racial and climate justice,” the church’s website states.

“We don’t think we have all the answers but for those who wish to journey with us in Christian belief and action you will find a welcome here.””(Courtesy FoxNews.com)

Before I begin, please allow me to be honest with you.

I left the United Methodist Church at the age of 39, when I realized that, thanks to those in control of the denomination, whose headquarters was in the Northeast, some parts of the UMC were beginning to value secularism more than it did the Word of God.

How did I come to that conclusion?

I walked into a Sunday School class and a theology student was teaching out of a book titled, “Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalists”.

While I hated to leave the Choir Director whom I had sang under for 20 years, like Belshazzar, I saw the writing upon the wall.

That was 25 years ago.

Now, after a long journey down a road filled with Liberals’ “religion of social justice”, the United Methodist Church has paid for following the word of man instead of the Word of God by experiencing a mass exodus of their members, leading to the formation of a new Methodist Denomination.

A Christian “Church” who believes that the Bible is NOT the Word of God is not a CHRISTIAN Church,

It can call itself a Social Justice Center.

It can call itself a Tabernacle of Wokeness.

However, if you devalue the Bible, the Holy Scriptures which are a “two-edged sword” and the key to learning about the foundation of the Christian Faith, then you are studying modern culture and not the history of the Hebrew people and the House of David, from whose lineage came Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.

What has happened to the United Methodist Church has happened to every organization, religious or secular, which has embraced “Political Correctness” or as it is called nowadays “Wokeness.”

Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutherans, and even the Southern Baptists, are allowing popular culture to change their focus from God’s Word to man’s politics.

“Wokeness” has taken the place of “Righteousness”.

The rise of “Wokeness” within Christian Churches is something that is literally tearing apart the fabric of our country.

The only conclusion that I, as a Christian American can reach, is the fact that our Sovereign Nation is in the midst of SPIRITUAL WARFARE for its very soul.

Make no mistake about it, boys and girls, EVIL EXISTS.

My friends, I believe that we are fighting a war against “princes and principalities”. Evil is still alive and well and flourishing in a world in which relative morality and situational ethics are increasingly being accepted as normal behavior.

We see it everyday around us.

Churches used to be a place to refresh the soul and to experience the presence of the Holy Spirit through corporate worship.

Too many have become concert venues and political rallies.

Christians repent of their sins. They don’t celebrate them.

At least, they didn’t use to.

Socialism in Action: University Students Occupy Campus Building Demanding “A’s” for Everyone

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Would you like to know why our economy is tanking?

The main reason is the out-of-touch incompetence of the Biden Administration and the Democrat Elite.

However, the fact that this generation has had everything handed to them and they have no Work Ethic has a great deal to do with it, also.

It all started with “Participation Awards”.

The Far Left Democrats’ embracing of Marxism led to a war against individual achievement…

Which, in turn, led to sickening insanity such as the following…

“Students at an elite, private university in New York City are occupying a campus building with the demand that all be given A grades.

The original reason for The New School occupation, which began on December 8, was to support striking faculty members who were lobbying for higher wages and better health care.

Though the faculty strike has since been resolved, a letter of demands now calls for A grades for all students. It says in part: “We demand that every student receives a final course grade of A as well as the removal of I/Z grades for the Fall 2022 semester.” The letter insisted, “Attendance shall have no bearing on course grade.” (According to the New School’s website, an “I” grade is a “temporary incomplete” and a “z” grade is an “unofficial withdrawal.”)

The letter also states that occupying students demand a refund “for the loss of instructional time due to the strike” and that “this tuition refund will be proportional to the duration of the semester during which the strike is in effect.”

Students are also calling for the resignations of the school’s president, provost, vice president and the disbandment of the Board of Trustees. Other demands include a tuition freeze from 2023 to 2028. As reported by The Daily Caller, students are also demanding for the university president’s house “be treated as a communal property.”

Assistant Vice President of Communications and Public Affairs Amy Malsin commented to Fox News Digital on the unfolding situation: “The university supports peaceful free expression by our students, and we are listening closely to all of our students’ concerns.”

She indicated that “faculty retain autonomy about how to conduct and grade their courses.”

There are approximately 10,000 students at New School. Tuition is $26,854 a semester or $51,900 for a full year.” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

Years ago, Liberals decided to put in a program of indoctrination into their belief system through the Department of Education.

They attacked the most vulnerable of us, our children.

Through programs like “anti-bullying” and Common Core, all the things, such as Christian morality and ethics, which average Americans, living in the Heartland, have always taught our children and grandchildren, began being undone by the government, in a scenario eerily reminiscent of the Soviet Union or Communist China.

Uncle Sugar has been telling our kids that it is alright for Heather to have two Mommies, and Bobby not to know who his Daddy is.

And, that it is okay for Daddy to dress in Mommy’s clothing.

They were also being taught in our schools that individual achievement was secondary to the welfare of everyone around them. In other words,

“From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.”

Hey, kid. You didn’t build that.

Vladimir Lenin once said,

“Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.”

What happens when you give “The State” 12 years to indoctrinate your child. Or, 16 years, if they go to college?

Scary, when you think about it, huh?

The Far Left Democratic Party remains determined to somehow change The Shining City on a Hill into an amoral Socialist Paradise.

So, is our present culture-driven state of unrest and strife which we are experiencing in America, simply a matter of choice?

Yes. I believe that it comes down to the choice of individual freedom or subjugation to “princes and principalities”.

America was built by achieving individuals who joined together to fight for “LIBERTY AND FREEDOM FOR ALL”…

Not for “Group-think” and Subjugation under a totalitarian government run by Hive-minded “Useful Idiots ” who never achieved anything without help from a “Nanny State”.

It all begins with teaching our children and grandchildren about the Blessings of Liberty and the fact that they come from “Our Creator” and not “The State “
