Welcome To Dan's World!

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g7Q9aJc8cw

The above episode of the Matt Walsh Show provides information both comical and disturbing.  This is common with that upon which he reports and present.  Some of this has been presented elsewhere and I'm sure it's likely been seen by many.   It begins with him playing catch up after not having posted any videos for the last week or two, but he makes some mention of the ludicrous notion of casting a woman, Ellen Page, as a Greek warrior...because gangly, skinny women make great men in Hollywood these days.  Most boys...and she does indeed look like a young boy...would have to stop eating to build the physic she has.  There have already been tons of memes wherein she...in the role of Sinon...can't open a jar of pickles and things like that.  She's posted social media comments berating normal, rational people who refuse to accept her playing a man, because according to her, they're uncomfortable with themselves.  She's probably right.  It's very likely the people she references are so uncomfortable with themselves that they've likely gone as far as removing body parts and ingested hormones to appear as member of the opposite sex.  Welcome to Dan's world!

Walsh then goes on to speak of the "race" for the Maine Dem primary to replace Graham Platner as the Dem nominee to run for the Senate seat now held by Susan Collins (R).  Of course, it's not a real primary as those who voted for Platner won't be voting for those seeking to replace him.  Similar to the installment of Kamala Harris, who didn't run for or was voted to be the Dem nominee to replace Joe Biden, the Maine Democrat Party will select from these hopeful and to hell with the voters.  Of course most alarming to normal, rational people is the inclusion of another person pretending to be of the opposite sex...some guy who calls himself "Ashley", who insists he has XX chromosomes, though test confirm they're XY, and claims he menstruates monthly and bleeds from his backside to prove it.  Uh huh.   That they give him the time of day rather than a court order to be institutionalized is common for those of the "beloved community".  Welcome to Dan's world.

From there, Matt presents a story about another such member of that "community" who has a melt down because a cop insists or referring to him as "he".  This one is so wacky, he's likely a high office holder in Dan's world.  Welcome to it!

Then we get to hear about Moron Zomdummy who organized a World Cup watch party at Riker's Island for the inmates...because they're New Yorkers, darn it, and they're deserving!  As Walsh reminds, imagine the victims of these people and how impressed they no doubt are to learn that those who oppressed them in any number of criminal ways are feted by the mayor, who opposes prisons for such people and too many cops to put them there.  But that's not the wildest part, presented also are a few idiot women who actually weep with love for the mayor for doing that.  They're just so enamored it brought them to tears.  And here's what really chaps my ass:  we get to hear from them (two at least, I believe) that he is more Christian than Christians.  

Yeah.  This Jew hating communist is more Christian than most Christians these stupid women know.  This tells me they don't know any Christians.  But such a claim is common in Dan's world.  Dan's lesbian grannies are more Christian than many Christians Dan knows.  He recently cited some muslim dude named Rumi and praised him in a similar fashion, coming just short of saying that.  We hear this crap about atheists quite a bit, and even Dan's boy crush, James Talarico said that not long ago.  And it's always said about someone who is far, far from it.  It's said by morons to highlight how someone is a "nice guy" despite all the very non-Christian behaviors and beliefs of the person.  

Welcome to Dan's world.  

Don't Give Them Any Ideas!

 

The "Progressives" Say Nothing To The Wrong Their Side Does

 In light of Dan's insistence that it is our side who votes for and supports the wicked and incompetent, I off this nowhere near comprehensive list of countervailing evidence.  It also points to Dan's claim that he calls out his own when they do wrong.  Pretending he's capable of identifying wrong in the first place, I present this list someone posted on FB...almost all of which is verifiable.  I may add to it later.

Is Another 250 Even Possible?

That would depend upon who's ideology prevails.  Will it be a Constitutional republic, informed and influenced by conservative (as in "actual") Christian principles?  I've no doubt the founding fathers were of that sort, even if altered somewhat by the passing of these last 250 years.  Today, it's referred to by the worst of our people as "white Christian nationalism".  Those lovers of perversion and criminality who appropriate the Name of Jesus, if they even believe in Him at all, simply to legitimize their marxism and hatred of the ideals of our Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution.  They call themselves "progressives", as if their brand of idolatry and deviancy actually "progresses" us toward a more perfect union.

While these reprobates pretend there's a threat to the nation from "white Christian nationalists" ("Christian nationalists" isn't enough for their fear-mongering...they're compelled by their constant racism to insist these "nationalists" are "white" only if they exist at all), there has been many examples of extremists from the left winning wicked hearts and vacant minds.  Socialism is seen by too many as a better economic system than the capitalism which has lifted so many out of poverty.  It's like these chuckleheads aren't even aware Venezuela exists, much less that it's been destroyed economically in a single generation due to the very system they think they'd prefer.  Every time I hear one of their beloved political geniuses speak, I expect to hear a laugh track.  And it would certainly help if there was one so that at least some of the stupid might be less inclined to take their constant lying seriously! 

And this is what's so disturbing and of such great concern.  It's not that marxists promote marxist ideology in country.  It's that there are so many stupid enough to buy into it.  And the result is the suffering endured by so many in this country is a direct result of the leftism which was already infecting the nation before the left got as extreme as it's become.  But what does the left do?  They dare accuse their betters...actual patriotic Americans...conservatives...of doing the damage.  And more stupid people buy in.  

So while the liars pretend there's such a threat to our nation of "white Christian nationalists", the real threat is the left.  It's been so for quite some time and has only gotten worse.  If it isn't reined in, we'll be lucky to get 25 years, much less 250.

Newest Nattering Nabobs?

I've been seeing more and more nonsense from Tucker Carlson, a guy whose FoxNews show I watched fairly regularly.  Since he left, I've only caught the occasional episode of his podcast...or whatever it is...and two of them I watched compelled by comments showing up on certain forums regarding the guests he was interviewing...such as Nick Fuentes.  While I agreed with complaints that he didn't push back against some of most radical opinions expressed, I had felt that his purpose was simply to provide a forum to express those opinions in full for all to see, by which all could decide for themselves what to think about the guest in question.  

But as time went on, I kept hearing more nonsensical things coming from him regarding Trump and his actions regarding Iran.  So there's no confusion, I'm totally in support of Trump's actions to damage the ability of the Iranian regime to be a world-class, world wide pain in the ass and major threat to our nation and our strongest Middle Eastern ally, Israel.  To suggest that prior to our initial strike they were not a real "clear and present" danger to our existence is to be a total ostrich, except with one's head up one's own ass.  Forty-seven years of referring to us as the Great Satan and chants of "Death to America" should tell people something.  

Trump has long insisted that Iran should never have a nuke...particularly Iran as it now exists with truly evil people running that country.  Only a true moron would think we can ignore the threat they pose and expect that somewhere down the line they won't unleash a nuclear attack upon us or Israel...or anyone else they believe has it coming according to their twisted fake religious beliefs.  And so, Trump chose to make sure that their threats would be as empty as possible.  To that end he aligned with Bibe Netanyahu to strike them where it hurts, and as we did in Japan in the 1940s, he did it twice so they know he means business.  Now, aside from desperate actions to appear as if they're still the great danger they had been, Trump has pretty much neutered them and their nuclear capabilities are almost non-existent...and certainly nothing which threatens entire nations.

But some, like Carlson, have problems with destroying bad guys, apparently.  He even goes so far as to pretend he's doing Bibi's bidding and not acting on his own volition and understanding of the threat Iran poses.  (Which is it?  Is Trump Putin's pupper or Bibi's?  I need a score card!)  But anyone who doesn't think Trump's his own man is a buffoon and there's really no case to be made to the contrary.  He's even gone so far as to say that he's leaving the GOP over it, and claims if he's leaving others will as well over this.  But here's the thing, despite this claim that Trump's now an "America Last" president...a position held also by sour grapes Marjorie Taylor Greene, I once again insist that Trump's got it right as regards the need to make the mullahs heel, hopefully to the point that the people of Iran can take control and oust the bastards altogether.  The scum won't go away, but for the Iranians to do what they should've done forty years ago might require our continued efforts to keep whatever leadership the regime has left at bay.  

The worst part is hearing how Trump's righteous efforts might lead to many Republican voters to stay home in November.  This is "progressive" level stupid.  How many times does Trump have to prove he knows what he's doing before people will understand he's deserving of a degree of trust?  As with so many problems Trump has and is in the process of resolving, this Iranian thing is a mess of previous administrations' making and this can simply cannot be kicked down the road any longer.  

So some think Carlson is a total Jew-hater and paid stooge of Qatar and such.  I don't know and I don't care.  I do care that anyone will give him more attention than he has coming.  He doesn't know what Trump knows about dealing with either Israel OR Iran, and while he's free to speak his mind...such as it's become...he should be taken with a grain of salt until he can prove his recent wackiness isn't wackiness at all.  I still put my money on Trump.  He's given no reason for me to put it anywhere else, and those like Tucker haven't provided any.

I'm Really Bummed Out. R.I.P. Stacey King

Last night I learned of the passing of Chicago Bulls analyst Stacey King, who has been a fixture on the telecasts for something like twenty years.  He came off the bench for the Bulls during every year of their first "3-Peat", beginning with the 1990 season (King was drafted by the Bulls in the 1st round of the '89 draft---I believe I have these years correct).  

His knowledge of the game was beyond question, he was what's known as a "homer" and his banter between himself and regular play-by-play man, Adam Amin is legendary, as it was with prior long-time play-by-play man, Neil Funk.  What a joy to experience!  Even in recent years while the team has been total crap, he made watching the game "Must See TV", because of his wit and charm.  He would make me laugh my ass off and did so routinely.  

He was also known for the nicknames he gave Bulls players (Derrick Rose was the "Windy City Assassin"), as well as for the many catch phrases he coined.  One became the name of his podcast, the "Gimme The Hot Sauce" podcast..."the podcast the podcasters loved!"  Here's a small taste:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_LQmvFpwbU

The Nationwide Insurance bit was with Neil Funk, and continued throughout his time on the broadcast with Adam Amin.  His relationships with both were palpably tight.  The love is evident.

Here's a longer tribute from the "Waddle and Silvy Show" on Chicago's ESPN affiliate (one of the two all sports stations on the radio, and one of the few shows I hated to miss (but often did because of my job):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gokajJyGLuw

In the above, Silvy (Marc Silverman) mentioned King in relation to other great Chicago sports broadcasters, like Jack Brickhouse, Harry Carey and others, rightly saying King belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of Chicago sports broadcasters.  I agree.

This one is an interview with Neil Funk on "The Mully and Haugh Show" on the Score, the other Chicago sports radio station:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyq2xQ9U65Y

I feel like posting more interviews with others who worked with him and likely will later.  But for now I'll leave it there.  This post is more for me than for any readers who aren't from the Chicago area.  What is another sad aspect of this sad news is that the Bulls have made big changes in management, a new coach will be selected soon, and they have the 4th and 15th pick in upcoming draft lottery.  I don't follow college sports as some do, but this is said to be an incredibly talent rich pool of selections, with the two likely picks at #4 likely to be a franchise-making player who can do much to turn this team around from the lowly scum they've been over the past five years.  Stacey King won't be around to witness it, and that hurts to know.  I'm gonna miss him.  Everyone the least bit familiar with him will.  

What follows is the last link I'll post, from CHSN, which broadcasts Bulls/White Sox/Blackhawk games.  It's lengthy and includes more examples of Stacey King's personality, which was the draw.  As was mentioned, even though the team was horrible over the last five years or so, King's color commentary and analysis, along with his wit and humor, made watching mediocrity "Must See TV".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oyrfQk7jQA

This post was mostly for myself.  After all, a "blog" is a "web log" and a log is like a diary, wherein one expresses that which matters to he/she who avail themselves of the log.  And given not everyone is a Bulls fan, or a basketball fan, it might be difficult to imagine how this guy could be embraced so warmly by all those had the least contact with him, including just watching him on TV or his podcasts or whatever.  But I do have a more personal situation in a sense.  There's some service which allows someone to purchase a greeting from a celebrity (I don't know if it's only sports, a Chicago thing or is more nationwide...I know of a hockey fan who received this specific gift from a hockey player).  My wife's brother bought one of these for his son who was away at college and it was a greeting from Stacey King.  He previewed it for us at his house, playing it on his TV and if I recall, it was to be a birthday gift.  There on the screen was Stacey King with a personal message to our nephew, Maximus,  It was about five (more like ten, I believe) minutes of encouragement and patented Stacey King humor which had us all in stitches.  He was truly treating Max like he knew him and from what all who worked with him attest, that's how he treated everyone.  

Stacey King.  One of God's best.  Rest In His Eternal Peace.

Campaign Season Concerns

 Here in S. Carolina, we're quickly approaching Election Day for the GOP primary.  The moronic early voting period is underway, but I remain convicted in my position that only one day should be allowed for voting, in person, unless a legitimate reason for an absentee ballot can be provided.  

This is state is considered by many to be the bluest red state in the nation.  All branches of the state government are Republican majorities.  We choosing a new governor, whether or not to replace Lindsey Graham (I hope we succeed) and in my 1st Congressional District, someone to replace Nancy Mace who is seeking to become our new governor (I'll not be voting for her).  I've been shamefully lax in keeping abreast of all that goes on in SC state government...the ins and outs, the who's who...though I am on the mailing lists of Mace, Graham and my other senator, Tim Scott (I like him generally, but overall, "the jury's still out").  

I've tried to find sources for info regarding GOP and/or conservative politicians and issues, and am not satisfied with what I've found thus far, with but one or two exceptions.  One source is one from whom I've received regular emails, but never got around to perusing them until just the other day.  I was impressed with what they do and will be looking more deeply into their info in the next few days (Election Day being fast approaching ---  June 9).  Others seem to be PACS or perhaps organizations supporting one guy against others, as they're basically attacking specific people.  For example, I'm hearing a lot about a candidate for the state AG who has been a Dem most of his life.  But he has a decent record for exposing corruption in the state legislature, getting indictments on five members who I believe are all Republicans.  That's fine, and given that's the party in the majority, it seems reasonable that GOP members might be scrutinized more intently than members of the party which has no real voice.  

Anyway, the organization who is attacking this guy doesn't attack either of the other two opponents.  Nor do they seem to say anything nice about them.  It's just attacking this one guy.  I heard the man speak at a meeting introducing him and a candidate for Comptroller and I like what he said well enough.  But to attack him for being a Dem most of his career with regard to this office doesn't strike me the same as a member of Congress or a presidential candidate flipping parties.  His main explanation was that he couldn't get into the gig without being in the Dem party.  Sounds fishy.  But then he also reminded that Reagan was a Dem and so was Trump.  Tulsi Gabbard was as well, and it seems perhaps RFK Jr no longer is a Dem these days.  

But the real issue and point of this post is the attack ads.  AND the promotional ads.  They're all worthless for one seeking to find the best option for these various offices.  It's not hard to accept that attack ads are less than accurate, they're misleading and are a shameful thing to do for a politician or his supporters who run the ad in lieu of legitimate reasons to support the guy doing the attacking.  Lindsey Graham likes to brag about the money he brought to the state.  But with what strings attached?  There are always strings attached.  

And when we look at promotion campaign ads, what I'm seeing with regards to this primary is that each candidate speaks of themselves in the same way the others do about themselves, with little difference between them.  They're all the conservative we want, need and deserve.  But finding details about their records (if they're already in government) or how they'll attempt to accomplish what they claim they will is next to impossible.  This latter point is especially important as I'm leaning toward those who are newcomers to politics.  But even there, the differences are slight, such as some promoting term limits while not all do.  (Such a position eliminates the candidate from my consideration.)

Then, when one goes to their websites (should they have one), one sees the exact same things as their campaign ads and brochures do.  Now, one exception to that is the guy for whom I'm currently most likely to vote for governor of SC...an outsider named Rom Reddy.  I went to his site and there's an AI option which will supply an answer to most any question based upon a collation of everything he's said about the subject.  That's pretty novel and I'm not sure how many have added such a thing to their own sites.  Overall, he's been far more informative about what he intends to do...and how he'll try to do it...than any other candidate I've ever seen for any office.  "I'll fight for your rights!" just doesn't tell me anything.

I do agree that this coming November election will be the most important, as over the last ten to twenty years, that claim...in my mind...becomes truer with every cycle.  I'm really interested in seeing Trump followed by another Republican (such as Vance, Rubio or DeSantis) who can and will keep the trend going in the right (no pun intended) direction.  This trend has seen Dems leaving that party of perversion and death.  Alan Desrshowitz is the latest example, as has been Tulsi Gabbard.  A very recent report states that support for SSM has been decreasing over the last five years.  Things like this are great to see and I think one can argue that the trend is picking up steam.  On every level of government, I wish to do what I can to support that trend continuing.  I need to see candidates step up and state boldly their intentions...their goals and how they plan to achieve them...and if they've been in office or some other level of government, I want to see their track record in its totality.  

Too much is at stake and I owe my children and grandchildren a safer, more prosperous and most importantly, a more moral nation. 

BVM. We Should LTT!

More history the "progressives" don't know or don't want anyone to know.

I continue to watch more from Mr. Jackson, and so I add the following:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ypZkZFr8ws

The more of this I see and read, the more I see Dan as a product of it, which speaks volumes about why he says what he says and supports what he supports.  I've long regarded him as far, far left, using words like "socialist" or "marxist".  What I see in these videos only more solidly validates my impression of the guy as marxist as well in spite of his denials.  And Jackson's mention of  the "social gospel", "progressive" churches and the things they support (all of which Dan does as well) make it hard to miss the connection between his descriptions of it all and Dan.  There's another about W.E.B. Du Bois which should be equally enlightening, but it's another 1.5 hrs, so I'll save it for later.  Instead, here's a short one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hmRJhJz89Y

Yet another from Chad O. Jackson, this time only ten minutes in length, which addresses comparisons between the assassinations of MLK JR and Charlie Kirk.  The very idea of linking them at all is absurd given what we know of each.  Yet, "progressives" laud the sexual deviant, woman-beating MLK, while pretending Kirk was some kind of evil racist or more humorously, "homophobe".  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPCc1yberBg

Because I subscribed to Jackson's channel, I see lots of options for learning about what he's uncovered.  While I've not yet coughed up whatever cash is required to get his series on MLK, I can still see lots of what he does, watch interviews he gives and hosts, so there's no shortage of information which exposes Dan's "saint" as far more like what Dan accuses Trump of being than Trump has ever actually demonstrated himself to be.  What this means is that Dan is truly far more conned by marixts than I felt I already knew, and among the greatest con men is MLK JR himself:

I Wish They Didn't!

 I accidentally clicked on "Eternity Matters", the late Neil Simpson's blog, to sadly find out it is no longer in service.  That's too bad given how much great stuff he had posted over the years. I have to see if his FB page still exists and make an appeal to whomever in his family might see it, to reinstate his blog if it doesn't cost them anything.  I don't know how Wordpress operates, so perhaps it has something to do with that platform.  But to just leave it there would seem to me a blessing.  Now, it's sort of like if the family of Charles Dickens had stopped publishing his books or somehow managed to remove them from the public sphere.  Of course, his family is more than free to do what they like, but I'm not unlikely to look back through a blog archives and his was rich with good articles and information.

I just wanted to say it.

And This Is Only About Illegal Invaders!

 https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/05/trying_to_get_through_to_my_liberal_friends.html

The above article is a great example of just how foolish the "progressives" are in their vice-like grip of stupid positions.  Because Trump said it in regard for the loyalty of his supporters, his detractors ran with it as an admission of truth, that there's nothing Trump can do which would separate him from his supporters.  No evil, no great mistake, no outlandish deception...No.  We'll just support him regardless.

But what the article presents is evidence of more projection by the left...that they will not stop supporting leftist politicians or policies no matter how much evidence is provided to expose the idiocy of such loyalty, while stating MAGA will never abandon Trump regardless of any evil act he might perpetrate.  

And this is only about illegal invaders!  It really holds true on any issue one can imagine. My previous post gives a list which demonstrates the concept as well.  Craig's been providing even more evidence of this phenomenon also.  And what's truly amazing is how wildly idiotic the progressive politicians and their policies are that it's beyond me to make sense of how anyone can continue supporting them.

Divided House

 https://washingtonstand.com/article/empathy-disorder-the-key-difference-between-left-and-right

I've been sitting on this thought for awhile as I considered how to address it.  Still not sure about how to go about it, so I'm just going to shotgun it.  What matters most is the point itself, which is that there is a serious divide between the right and left in this country.  This division has been driven largely by the left as their ideology has become more and more twisted and perverse over the last several decades...one could say since the 1960s or perhaps the 50s.  It was during this time that the most drastic differences between right and left began to increase, with the right remaining more faithful to both the founding principles of the nation as well as of our Christian faith, and the left becoming more twisted and selfish, willing to pervert those principles to serve their more carnal interests. 

 

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/02/yes_leftists_are_evil_here_s_how_they_got_that_way_and_why_you_ll_never_change_them.html

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1026442/Dont-listen-liberals--Right-wingers-really-nicer-people-latest-research-shows.html 

 

Conservatives:  Truth and morality are fixed.  We must discover them and live accordingly.
"Progressives":  Truth and morality are matters of personal preference; fluid and ever changing as circumstances dictate.  They are what we need them to be.

The above illustrated distinction is pretty much the Alpha and Omega of the differences between right and left.  I have so many examples, but they are all truly variations on the above theme.  

Conservatives:  Discriminate between harmful/immoral and beneficial/moral behaviors.
"Progressives":  Call conservatives "bigots" for opposing harmful/immoral behaviors "progressives" favor in favor of beneficial/moral behaviors.

Conservatives:  When the GOP refuses to support Democrat budget proposals, Dems say "the GOP is holding America hostage!"
"Progressives:  When the Dems refuse to support GOP budget proposals, Dems say "the GOP is holding America hostage!"

Conservatives:  Seek elected office to improve the nation by making it more secure, more prosperous and safer for its law-abiding citizens.
"Progressives":  Seek elected office to impeach, arrest, imprison or inflict suffering upon Trump and his supporters.

Conservatives:  Believe the first duty of government is to its citizens.
"Progressives":  Don't.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=030mc-kn67w&t=3649s

The above video also speaks to the problem of "progressive" women as judges.

Conservatives:  Seek to persuade through reason, logic and facts.
"Progressives":  Seek to threaten for lack of a compelling argument.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC4TUjA4u_0

I could easily add so much more to this list, though there are so many more obvious differences (none to the credit of "progressives") which have been highlighted many times already, so I'll leave it here.  I'll just finish up by saying that what divides us these days is something malevolent which manifests in the character and behaviors of the typical "progressive".

Now THIS Is Interesting!

 I just came upon an interesting story:

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2026/01/white_leftists_go_after_a_black_man_trying_to_start_a_business_in_their_neighborhood.html

Who do we know who lives in this city and constantly proclaims the goodness and virtue of "progressives"?   Hmm.  It seems there's someone.  It's like the name is on the tip of my tongue.

No.  Really.  It's someone who insists he stands up for minorities.  A real champion of the poor and marginalized.

It'll come to me.

Mark Missing

I've been reading some of Jesse's back-and-forths with feo and in them are found similar semantic games as are commonly played by Dan.  Jesse handles feo expertly, but like Dan and the Black Knight from Monty Python's Holy Grail, feo fails to recognize when he's been reduced to just a stump.

But it brought to my mind a recent favorite of Dan's in referring to "sin" by the definition of the word in the ancient languages in which it appears, and given I've time to kill, I thought I'd put virtual pen to virtual paper on the issue.

"Sin", in the ancient languages, is defined at least in part as "missing the mark".  Loosely explained, it refers mainly to archery.  The bullseye would be the mark, and the arrow hitting anything else (or nothing at all) would be "sin", or the missing of the mark, as it missed the bullseye, which is the mark.  That's all well and good, but it demands this is the only definition of the word or the only manner in which it was meant to be used, or the only manner it which it was ever applied.  Dan never offers any evidence or support that the word can only mean this specific thing, but let's run with it for a bit:

So "the mark" is something specific at which one aims one's arrow.  In practice or competition, it might be the typical target which commonly comes to mind (think "The Adventures of Robin Hood", starring Errol Flynn).  Once again, I refer to the bullseye as being the mark one intends to hit.  In both scenarios, we have different degrees consequence.  In practice, to miss the bull is pretty much absent of consequence beyond the miss itself.  It means nothing more except that more practice shots are required to eventually hit the bull and to hit it consistently.  Such consequence is no true big deal beyond that.  

But in competition, to miss the bull can mean losing the competition and failing to win any prize offered by proving one's self superior to the rest of the archers.  That's a greater consequence, as it also includes the practice time having been for nought, if no intention to compete ever again exists.  OR, it means MORE practice...and more intensive practice...must be put in if one intends to compete again, or simply if one intends to improve as an archer.

At this point, the consequences are relatively minor.  But what is archery but skill with the bow...which is a weapon...and for what purpose?  To kill, either in hunting or in war.  Miss the mark while hunting, and the consequence is to go hungry.  Miss the mark in war, and the consequence can be the enemy not missing his...which is you.  

Dan uses the term as if it's referring to a mistake...a big "Whoopsie!"...as if there was no intention to sin, or worse, that if we simply say, "Saahhh-reee!", all's well because...you know...grace or something.  

Now, to be sure, the High Priests would indeed offer blood sacrifices to God on behalf of the people for the atonement of their having "missed the mark", including when they did so unknowingly, which is truly to sin "unintentionally".  This penal substitutionary atonement for their sins was the consequence of having "missed the mark", and as imperfect a sacrifice of an even "without blemish" animal was, God's graceful forgiveness was bestowed as a result of that consequence, which was death.  

What then, is the "mark"?  Obedience to God.  God's Will.  However one chooses to put it, it is God.  God's "mark" is defined by Him for our benefit in Leviticus 19:2, wherein He tells His chosen (and by extension, Christians, too) "Be Holy, because I, the Lord your God, am Holy".  

That's the mark.  And strive as we might, we will fail plenty to be holy constantly.  But to sincerely seek to hit the mark always, we are forgiven our "misses" by our faith in Christ Who gave Himself as the Perfect Penal Substitutionary Atonement of ours "missing the mark" by virtue of having offered up Himself as the Perfect Lamb of God.

Let's move on.  What of those who ignore the target, or those who alter its size or in some other way choose the terms for what counts as hitting the mark or even if we need worry about taking up the bow in the first place?  This is what Dan defends.  Not merely sincerity in attempting to obey God's commands or to be holy.  Oh sure, he mentions such.  Constantly complaining that we're speaking of perfection only, and that eternal punishment is the consequence of merely being imperfect (as if compared to God's perfection, that's insignificant).  But that's diversion from the reality of his defending willful disregard for the target.  He's choosing to make the striving for obedience optional, or worse, assuming the authority to inflate the size of the target so as to make missing it impossible.  

And here's where Dan's notion of  "missing the mark" fails so obviously.  It's when he's defending the two most egregious examples of disregard for the Mark:  LGBTQ++++ ideology and infanticide (AKA, "abortion").  In these two examples, we see a clear and unmistakable disregard for the Will of God, as there is no arguing there exists a context where either can be perpetrated and not be in starkly in contradiction to His Will.  Yet, Dan will "admit" that he "might be mistaken" and won't be held accountable by "a just, loving and merciful God" for merely being mistaken.  What is plain here, however, is that Dan isn't "missing" any "mark".  He's not even aiming at it.  OR, he has erected his own target of his own choosing and of his own design and dares call it "God", so that he can continue to falsely proclaim himself "Christian".  

Of course, it must also be said that intention means everything when considering the written word.  How a word is defined is often a matter of its most common usage.  The question becomes, what did the ancient Biblical authors mean when it chose a word used in archery to describe disobedience to or rebellion against the Will of God?  Does this choice of words mitigate the incredible seriousness of disobedience and rebellion, or are we to truly believe that God isn't serious about encouraging us to "be holy"?  If "holy" is His perfection, and it is the "mark" to which we're to aim, our imperfection is a serious matter about which no one, including those like Dan and his craven ilk, should be so glibly dismissive.  What does God want and how can we know?  His Will revealed to us in Scripture is not cryptic on matters of human behavior, particularly these vile behaviors Dan defends and enables.  When Dan makes his "case" with regard "missing the mark", he is doing what he always does regarding God's Will and that's to pretend there's some mystery or ambiguity to it which allows for him to believe what no honest human being, Christian or not, could ever agree is true.  This attempt by him misses that mark entirely.

Lovers Of Life? I Don't Think So!

This past week it was revealed that the execrable JB Pritzker, failing governor of Illinois and laughingly considered an actual candidate for the Democrat campaign for president in '26, has passed a euthanasia bill in his state.  Many on the left...morons all for thinking this dude should be governor...hail this as a victory for "death with dignity".  That's funny.  Suicide is somehow "dignified".

The pat argument is that for those enduring horribly painful suffering, doctor assisted suicide is a "right" which everyone somehow has and, by golly, it's high time they were afforded this exit strategy to relieve them of their suffering.  

My father-in-law was no longer willing to live on by virtue of life-support measures...hooked up to machines which helped him breathe more easily...nor by being served hand and foot by his wife and family unable to do anything for himself.  This was the state to which ALS had led him slowly and he decided that if it was his time, then he will no longer deny Death his desire.  Thus, he chose to remove all life-support measures and see what happens, knowing that his end was damn near guaranteed.  He did indeed pass away as a result, with his family surrounding him.

So how is this different than euthanasia if death is so likely?  Well, he wasn't killed.  He was allowed to die if Death chose to take him.  Euthanasia means one is being killed, not "allowed to die".  "Red", as he was known to many (coincidentally, as was my actual father), did die with dignity because his ailment was taking him one way or another, with it only being a matter of when.  It should have and would have happened well before his decision were his life not supported by medical equipment.  

So that's the difference.  What Prickster has done is just another leftist life-taking measure.  Whereas he supports taking life just begun, he now allows life to be taken later in life.  That's so progressive, isn't it?  

Now, we have to wonder just how this will play out in the future.  I don't know the details of the bill...what limitations are written into it.  But I can't help but feel confident that this will be allowed for lots of people who are not suffering extreme and unrelenting pain.  I can't help but feel that it will simply lead to tons of suicides.  

One thing I have just read is that it requires that the death certificate of the patient not mention euthanasia...or the ingestion of drugs or however one is put down...as the cause of death, despite it being so.  No.  They're required to put whatever illness from which the patient suffered as the cause.  That is, coroners are required to lie.  

Again, "progressives"...who make lots of noise about opposing oppression, infringement no human rights and other highfalutin posturing...show they are not the lovers of life they want us to believe they are.  Abort the children, kill off the elderly and sick.  

But what else?  How about cashless bail and the release into the general population violent, often insane criminals who will again rape and murder?  How about defending the "right" of illegal invaders to remain in this country regardless of their character, just because Trump chose to do his duty and send them packing.? How about defending drug runners on the pretense Trump has no idea if they're drug runners or fisherman?  As we've seen in discussions at Craig's blog, what counts for abuses and oppression is really a matter of who is the abused and who is accused of abusing.  The reality is more often than not, the abusers and oppressors are the progressive left.

Stunning News!

 https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/12/no_nobody_on_the_right_is_celebrating_the_murder_of_director_rob_reiner.html

By now perhaps everyone who visits here has heard the news of the murders of Rob Reiner and his wife allegedly at the hands of their own son.  I can't imagine such a thing.  

What doesn't surprise me is the contrast between this senseless act and that perpetrated against Charlie Kirk.  I've seen nothing thus far which in any way mirrors or parallels the vile response by way too many lefties after Charlie's murder.  

Clearly, Rob Reiner was a political moron.  He was Trabue-level stupid in his regard for Trump, and possibly just as hateful.  His talent as regards film and entertainment was obvious.  I've enjoyed every move of his that I've seen, and that would be most of them...some of them immensely.  Now, as Monica Showalter said, we'll never see any new stuff from him.  

But that aside, there's no joy in conservatives at his passing.  Conservatives just don't operate that way.  It's among the many stark differences between us on a general level...and I would humbly say, to our credit.  Or perhaps more appropriately, to the discredit of the left, who seem to always, to one degree or another, speak in terms of us "dying off" or straight up killing us, depending upon the leftist with one is specifically engaged.  (And to the dismissal of some lefties, that's not at all unheard of.)

I just can't put my mind around what could possibly compel such a reaction to any issue which might arise between one person and another.  This came up with this tragic situation, as well as with the Brown University killings which also just happened over the weekend.  As to the Reiner issue, I would hope the son does some serious time, but will have his issues fully resolved whether his life ends in prison or he someday gets released.  

Very sad.  Very sad.

This Post Had No Title. Now It Does. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT LIKE US!

Note:  Yes, I changed the title of this post.  It seemed apropos.

I've been sitting on this for a while, and at this point it's almost just old news.  But two things compelled me to just go ahead and post it.  The first is that the initial link below is still relevant as all get out.  It was my initial inspiration for this post.  The second is Dan's most recent post as his Blog of Lies and Perversions, wherein he indulges in his well known psychotic and very unChristian grace embracing hatred of our president.  Dan continues to be the poster child for "All Which Is Wrong With America".  So here it is...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As we all know, Dems in Dem states won elections.  Virginia, New Jersey and NYC all elected Dems for the various open offices on the ballot.  Not a one of them was won by a Dem of class and character.  Of course, those words...as well as words like "honor", "morality" and "honesty"...have no real value to either the political or religious left.  

In pondering the outcome of these elections, I felt compelled to write about them here and what it portends.  But that's kind of silly since what has occurred was what past elections had portended at the time.  Thus, things are moving in the worst way in the worst direction, slowed only by the great work of our president and a few conservative governors.  

So as I was trying to figure out how to express myself, I found a great piece which says much in my stead.  

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/11/results_are_in_american_leftists_willingly_embrace_evil.html

I was so impressed with the author's comprehensive analysis.  She really presented well so many of the vile things with which the left aligns themselves.  As an aside, I also appreciate the fact that she referred to George Floyd's death as "self-inflicted" as opposed to a murder, which is how even way too many conservatives describe it, simply because a poor justice system said so.

Moron Zamdani naturally gets most of the attention, as he is, by far, the most egregious winner among the leftist election victories.  It's amazing that in a city which was the target of an islamic attack which murdered 3000 Americans, most of whom were in the World Trade Center buildings destroyed in the assault, it's also a city comprised of so many Jews, who are still constantly targeted by islamists of the type Moron Zamdani just couldn't bring himself to condemn for their October 7, 2023 murder, rape and kidnapping spree.  I guess he views it as "the voice of the unheard" or some kind of "self-determination" migration into Israel from Gaza.  But he is representative of what the Democrat Party has become, and they have plenty of support from the stupider of the unwashed.

As regards that particular election, there's much which alarms, such as who celebrated his victory:

And there are other things quite interesting, one of which suggests a huge problem with the 19th Amendment:

I'm All For It

 In one of Craig's recent posts, Dan felt compelled to weigh in with his usual vile hatred for our president.  The issue was the Trump administration's targeting of narco-terrorists from Venezuela running drugs toward our shores.  Our people would blow up their boats in international waters.  Dan was apparently fine with Biden's open border policies which allowed all manner of scumbag to bring their fentanyl and other drugs across our borders for distribution to stupid people as well as the unsuspecting.  It's said 100K died every year from such poisoning, and Dan had nothing much to say in protest.  If Trump opened the borders, instead of protecting his people as is his sworn duty, Dan would be seeking his impeachment and/or imprisonment because...you know...Must Hate Trump.  And Dan does indeed. 

There's absolutely no policy of Trump's which is above scrutiny.  It is fair, reasonable and frankly, the duty of every American to pay attention as closely as possible to discern what he's attempting to do and if it's a good thing or a bad thing.  

Trump has designated several radical and/or blatantly criminal organizations as terrorists.  With regard to assholes like Tren de Aragua, he has designated them as narco-terrorists who have availed themselves of Biden's stupidity and made for themselves a presence in this country.  Trump...being a regular guy who actually loves his country...wasn't cool with that.  Trump...being an actual man who doesn't like to mess around when serious shit hits the fan...chooses to do something about it.  Trump...being an actual man who doesn't bullshit about the seriousness of a problem and what must be done to resolve it...has chosen to go on the offensive against these most offensive people.  

Dan doesn't like that.  Oh...it's not because Dan cares about who might get 86'd.  Oh no!  It's because...you know...Must Hate Trump and anything and everything he does must be opposed because Dan, knowing nothing but Must Hate Trump, presumes he can criticize the best president we've had since Ronald Reagan...another great president Dan hated.  

Anyway, Dan demands people of intelligence join morons like him in pretending Trump is committing war crimes and such.  It takes a modern progressive asshat to suggest protecting the people of our nation against drug cartels and their deadly products is akin to war crimes, if an asshat is what you want, then Dan is definitely your huckleberry.  He's world class and card-carrying!

So Dan pretends the Trump gang has no way to know if those they've bombed out of the water are actually scumbags and by golly, the US Constitution requires the president to run on over to Dan's place and clear it with him, just as God Almighty needs to check with Dan about abominable sexual behaviors.  Thus, I did some checking and in seconds I came up with the following hard core, far right extremist conservative site (?) which lists the many ways our people can identify narco-terrorists Dan is so keen to defend against the evil Donald J. Trump:

https://factually.co/fact-checks/justice/detecting-drug-boats-9a18ba

Do these methods, tactics and tools ensure 100% certainty?  Probably not.  But I'd wager the probability of that lofty goal is far, far higher than a putz like Dan has the honor and integrity to concede.  These aren't Jeff St chuckle-heads running this administration, nor are they Biden or Obama administration buffoons, either.  They're actual America loving patriots who, while not being perfect, shouldn't be insulted by being mentioned in the same sentence with any of the aforementioned.  None of the other are or were serious players.  They're all posers and posturing frauds not worthy of recognition. 

Good people disagree with this policy.  Dan's not among them.  I applaud it and more than that, I support taking it to the assholes in ways that have true impact on their future intentions, if not their futures altogether.  When dealing with gangs like TDA and Hamas and a few others, nothing says "We're serious about solving this problem" like killing them.

Within our borders, we have laws which require proving someone is guilty before killing them, or in cases of killing them on the streets, agonizing process compels confirming no other recourse.  While this works great for those who are actually innocent, it puts law enforcement and the public at great risk and so much more often than not, law enforcement and neighbors are well aware of who the most dangerous assholes are.  The really bad guys murder publicly or leave the bodies out in the open as a warning.  This works in areas where LE is not truly concerned with E-ing the L or protecting the citizenry.  But good people can use a similar strategy to put fear where it belongs...in the black hearts of the evil.  

Trump is notable for understanding the necessity of this practice.  It's no good to say it incites the evil to be more evil because they're already evil.  As it stands, bad actors on the world stage are not keen to drawing Trump's attention by being assholes.  He made that known in his first time in office and he's done so again with the strike on Iran.  His righteous assaults on drug runners from a narco state is another example and it is absolutely necessary.  

The only problem with it is that it is not enough.  Evil must be vanquished for the good of us all.  There's way too much of it in the world and the evil thinks the world is theirs.  

Dan's good with that.  He's good with that so long as Trump ends up in jail.  

Neil Simpson. Rest In God's Eternal Peace.

Strangely, I consider myself fortunate to have noticed the Facebook announcement of the passing of my blogger friend and an incredible defender of the Faith, Neil Simpson.  I would have been exceedingly saddened to have found out long after the fact.  It was clear his end was nigh.  What a brave example to the rest of us how he faced the inevitable.  His battle raged for years, sometimes believing he was victorious, only to be once again besieged by the ravages of his increasingly oppressive illness.  

We've never met, but my grief is as no less than having lost someone with whom I was always face to face.  As with the passing of Eric Ashley, I feel this no less than I would a brother or life-long friend and it weighs heavy upon me.  Indeed, I'm crushed by the news as if he was blood.  Both these fine men were close geographically...within six to eight hours drive and I'm defeated knowing I could have never did.  Now I never can.  

Now there are only three left I would love to meet in person and despite the fact they are so much farther away, I want so much to meet and break bread and raise a glass with Craig, Glenn and Stan.  That would please me greatly and I know we would give it up for Neil and Eric and thank our Lord for knowing them, even if only online.  

In the Name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, may He welcome Neil (and Eric, too) into His everlasting presence.  May they both have heard Him say to them, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

Something Like What Craig's Been Posting Lately

 The following is from a Robert A. J. Gagnon Facebook post, but was originally a post from another guy who's name I just forgot to write down.  (Craig's posted one or two things from the dude and I'll amend this post when I get his name.)  I saw it and as it was related to a post or two of Craig's on the issue of "who's worse" (my name for it), we see the problems Craig has referenced.  Here it is:

The Cato Institute just published a report claiming right-wing violence is far more common than left-wing violence, and they released it in the very month that Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

That timing is revolting, but the data itself is even worse!

The Daily Caller exposed how Alex Nowrasteh’s list conveniently left out key left-wing killers that would have changed the balance.

The Waukesha killer in 2021 drove his SUV through a Christmas parade, killing six and injuring dozens more, after a stream of anti-white social media posts, rapping against Donald Trump, and voicing support for Black Lives Matter.

A local BLM chapter even raised money for his bail.

Jessica Doty-Whitaker was shot and killed by BLM protesters after she or someone in her group said “all lives matter.” Her case remains unsolved, yet CATO never counted it.

An anti-natalist bombed an IVF clinic in 2025, killing one person, and that too was ignored.

Those omissions are not small. Adding them would nudge the left-wing category above the right wing category, destroying the entire premise of CATO’s report.

And of course, the other issue with Nowrasteh’s list is that it only counts killings. That means it leaves out some of the most notorious acts of political violence of our time.

It ignores the two assassination attempts on Donald Trump.

It ignores the 2017 Republican baseball shooting that nearly killed Steve Scalise.

It ignores the attempted stabbing of Lee Zeldin on the campaign trail.

It ignores a neighbor’s brutal attack on Sen. Rand Paul that broke his ribs.

It ignores the man arrested outside Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home with plans to assassinate him.

It ignores the bomb planted under a Fox News van that failed to detonate.

Every one of these is political violence, and every one is erased by CATO’s framework.

This is not honest research. It is manipulation to smear the right and excuse the left.

Because the truth is that violence is not accidental on the left, it is built into their philosophy. They believe government is the weapon, mobs are their muscle, and coercion is their road to power.

When the left is angry, cities burn. When the left is challenged, opponents are silenced with threats. When the left loses, violence is the answer.

The right responds to tragedy in an entirely different way. We turn to God, to community, to vigils and prayer. We believe in healing, not burning.

That is the divide CATO refuses to acknowledge.

The left turns to fire.

But the right turns to faith.

And until America faces that truth, no amount of fake statistics will hide where the real epidemic of violence comes from.

I shared it on my Facebook page immediately because these types of "studies" seem to be common today, and rarely without rebuttals which expose the flaws of the studies/reports.  

In the comments following the posting of this, one person offered this link:

(4) Is there really more political violence on the right? - YouTube 

The examples provided in the video are three which have no relation to politics, but are simply heinous crimes, and the perpetrators are subjectively included among the center-right population because it serves the narrative.  It's cheap padding of the list...a not too uncommon tactic of the left.

I also want to point out the person who put together the CATO Inst. list.  Alex Nowrasteh.   This guy can't seem to publish anything which isn't suspect.  Dan's cited his work in the past, which validates my certainty that Dan does next to nothing with regard to due diligence in choosing what to cite.  His efforts stop at the title or the conclusion, but nothing in between.  That's not just intellectually lazy, but dishonest.

Another Shot Heard 'Round The World

I was going to put this somewhere in the last post, but I decided it deserved it's own:
