News and Views: August 21, 2024

This year, a Gallup poll found that only three in 10 Americans say they attend religious services every week (21%) or almost every week (9%), while 11% report attending about once a month. Most Americans say they seldom (56%) or never (25%) attend religious services.
   According to the Pew Research Center, there are three exceptions to these numbers: Mormons (LDS), Pentecostals and Muslims do not seem to share in the general decline of religion in the United States.
   What is the cause of this decline? The short answer is a lack of new converts.

'You guys have no idea how painful it is to … be forced to watch it all unravel'  The reason everyone on Earth wants to move here is because if you squint your eyes, this country still basically “looks” the same, is still powerful, etc.
   But we are running on the fumes of the past.
   Paradise is no longer paradise after the barbarians rape, burn, and pillage everything not nailed down. And I’m talking about the barbarians in DC, not the ones galloping over the border.

DNC Day 2 Doesn't Start Well: Dems Butcher National Anthem, Protesters Make It Inside the Convention The Republican National Convention seemed very uplifting and unified. 
The DNC, on the other hand, seems like a cringey, discordant mess. Joe Biden's speech and how he was shunted out of primetime lent to that sense of chaos. Some speakers just went on and on, and the officials appeared to schedule too many things for the evening, so they had to cut out some people like musician James Taylor. But some thought that the plan may have been to bury Biden's speech late in the evening, so people couldn't see it.

Rose’s post read, “Planned Parenthood staff is saying that on the first day of the DNC, they did ten free abortions. Ten helpless babies have been sacrificed so far at the DNC death cult. There are no words to express the sheer horror.”

A Harris-Walz presidency would be noteworthy not simply for the extremity of their abortion and gender policies, but also for the fanatical zealousness with which they pursue them. With no close contender, theirs would be the most anti-life, anti-woman, and anti-family presidency in the history of the country. Unborn and unwanted newborn children would be exterminated. Women would be reduced to objects for the sexual satisfaction of men. Women-only spaces would be eradicated. And parents would lose authority over the medical care of their own children.

The DNC's Bizarre Segregation Continues With Prayer Rooms  This is hardly the only bizarre way in which Democrats have treated prayer this week. Cardinal Blase Cupich, of the Archdiocese of Chicago, gave an invocation on Monday night at the DNC. He did so without mentioning the name of Jesus, though, and with his cross hidden.

The pro-death religion being seen so clearly at the DNC should be enough to convince any sensible person, any moral person, and certainly any Christian, what a demonised group of people these really are. Cheering, celebrating and promoting the murder of millions of children comes straight out of the pits of hell. That and the push for all things homosexual and transgender is also something we could be discussing here.

A tax of this nature creates a vacuum that does nothing but suck the vibrancy out of an economy. In addition to setting a new moral hazard standard, the tax directly targets the people with the most capital at work in our country. By specifically targeting the people that have the means to create new enterprises and invest using this capital, and then driving them out of the country, the tax is a surefire way to suck the lifeblood out of what’s left of the United States economy.
   Make no mistake: it will be a clarion call for billionaires to simply move out of the United States and into tax havens.

“A blast from a failed socialist past.” “Economically dumb.” “Gimmicks.” “Will drive up prices.” “Not sensible policy.” “Hard to exaggerate how bad this policy is.”

The government’s figures for job growth over the past year are set to be significantly revised down, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday.

Andy Beshear Hopes Somebody Rapes J.D. Vance's Wife or Daughter The Democrat Party is filled with trash people. 
     That's not to say every Democrat is trash; just an abnormally large number of them are disgusting, nasty, vile, hateful liars whose fondest wish is to harm people they disagree with.

An explosion of violent crime in the United Kingdom has made England and Wales into what one economist calls "the rape capital of Europe by a sizeable margin."

   The bombshell findings of the study were published in the International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research.
