The Abstraction of Christianity; National Cathedral replaces stained glass windows to honor BLM protestors...more

The Abstraction of Christianity:  All throughout Western Europe, Muslims are transforming churches into mosques   Thus, if Christians once spent so much to erect massive cathedrals all throughout Europe — formerly booming with masculine voices of confident worshippers — today these buildings are the haunt of little old ladies lighting candles for their departed loved ones — that is, when these buildings are not actively being pawned off to exultant Muslims who transform them into mosques. In France alone, one church is “disappearing” — one way or another — every two weeks.

Self-professed Christians who see no problem with this, who care little for concrete manifestations of the faith, should be mindful lest they abstract Christianity into oblivion.

Washington National Cathedral replaces stained glass windows to honor BLM protestors   Indeed. We're not sure how replacing Civil War-era windows with windows depicting riots organized by a Marxist group that included violence, mayhem, and looting makes them less offensive, but what do we know?

Surrendering the Church Without a Fight...The Pope places the Catholic Church at the service of utopian globalists   So by aligning the Vatican with Agenda 2030, thus culminating six decades of papal policy, Francis risks turning the Catholic Church not just into a globalist tool. He risks making it an accessory of potentially the most repressive form of governance in human history.

Thou Has Conquered, Oh Thou Baptists 

What are the social and political implications of Baptist ascendancy via non-denominationalism? American secularization would be far more advanced without its influence. Evangelical sway exists because of it. But non-denominationalism is increasingly disconnected from Protestant and Christian tradition. By stressing the individual believer’s access to God through the Bible alone, the grandeur of church tradition, which includes political theology, is often discarded. Many are left believing the Bible will offer detailed public policy counsel. If charismatic or Pentecostal, they might expect the Holy Spirit to give such counsel. The lack of church hierarchy often removes mediation and informed leadership. This method is populist and sometimes democratic but often anarchic.

But new dispensations of Protestant growth are almost always chaotic. Usually, wisdom and order prevail out of the chaos. May it come sooner rather than later. Meanwhile, kudos to Baptists. They are often doomsayers and pessimists. They like to fight among themselves. But without knowing it, Baptists have conquered indeed.

From Transgender Homecoming Queen to Transhumanism   Is it any wonder that the progressive left has sought to jettison the term pedophilia and replace it with Minor Attracted Persons (MAPS)? The forty-five-year-old man identifying as a fifteen-year-old trans girl will be regarded as no less of a minor than the fourteen-year-old girl he’s pursuing for sex. This, too, is the crazed endpoint of radical egalitarianism.

This is here we are headed, folks – this and several other darker and more demonic places. In such cases, follow the logic of transgender transhumanism and its ideology, and extrapolate it to various scenarios. The logic will hold consistently. These scenarios played out to their logical end will lead ineluctably to such irreversible harm and evil that only an apocalypse—manmade or God-stricken—can create, not an antidote, but a truly brave new world.

He emphasized that this issue is not limited to K-12 education but also affects higher education. Citing a Campus Reform analysis, he noted that 60% of students entering two-year schools must take remedial courses for information they should have learned in high school, and 40% face the same issue in four-year schools.

New $4B Panasonic Electric Vehicle Battery Factory Requires So Much Power That the Facility Will Need Its Own Coal Plant to Run 

The amount of energy the new Panasonic EV battery facility needs is so high, in fact, that a representative from Evergy, the public utility serving the factory, testified before the Kansas City Corporation Commission that there are serious “near-term challenges from a resource adequacy perspective.”

Put another way, the Panasonic EV battery factory in De Soto is an energy hog of epic proportions. As such, Evergy says it will have to continue burning coal at a nearby power plant in Lawrence that was previously slated to eventually transition to natural gas production.
