I’ve mentioned Truthstream Media many times over the years.  They do great work on political news in video.  In the vid below they present a compilation of Trump video clips that will blow your mind if you’re anything like me.  The hypocrisy in American media and politics is rising to new satanic highs.

When you click on the image above a Substack article will open.  It is a defense of Eastern Orthodox influencer Jonathan Pageau.  He produces content under the brand, “The Symbolic World.”

The writer observes,

Maybe you received a good education. In that case, glory to God! But not everyone was so fortunate. And Pageau isn’t only addressing himself to folks with Ph.Ds in comparative religion. He’s trying to have a conversation that anyone can jump into—regardless of their education level. He doesn’t speak down to people, but he does make himself intelligible to any reasonably thoughtful person. That, in my book, is a virtue.

The Yankee Athonite proclaims, “The Baby Boomers were infamously bad at handing down a basic understanding of… well, anything.”  Ouch.

Describing the importance of good stories to our lives he says

What makes Pageau famous, though, is that he fills one of those knowledge gaps—specifically the ones left when we stopped telling our kids bedtime stories. Those were the moments when we catechized our children into the folk-wisdom of their ancestors.  I’m always struck by the scenes in The Andy Griffith Show where Andy tells Opie (or Otis) classic stories like Jack and the Beanstalk. The problem is that Opie’s generation also grew up watching The Andy Griffith Show. By the time they had kids of their own, TV had pretty much monopolized the story-telling aspects of our society.  Yet, as St. Basil the Great pointed out, those old stories prepared the hearts and minds of men to receive the Gospel. They still have a place in our world. We have simply failed to make room for them. Pageau is correcting that error.

I’ll stop before I quote the entire commentary.

Amen.

According to this column published this morning the most violent threat to Christians worldwide is Islam.  Yet, this video was published by a Muslim last week.  His points about justice make perfect sense to me, and sound much more Biblical/Christian than Americanism.

Whenever I speak against genocide in Gaza my Christian friends justify our actions by condemning Islam, and making the claim of the column linked above — that Muslims are killing Christians all over the world.  Because this is true, they argue, Israel is justified in using our munitions to obliterate women, children and non-combatants in Gaza.

It is never just or righteous to kill the innocent.  We must move ahead with a more sophisticated and realistic understanding of what it means to live inside of borders next to others who don’t speak our language, or share our religion.  How about we start with respect, curiosity and appreciation of language/religious difference instead of giving in to the simplistic idea that we are somehow better, smarter and more worthy.

God made every single human on earth.  Every single one is made in His image.  Our first instinct MUST be to love them, especially if they are our enemy.

Amen.

Christianity elevated the idea of preaching to a new level of significance in religion.  To be more specific Paul the Apostle told Christians living in Corinth that the preaching of the Apostles, the Church, would draw heaven and earth closer together.

America isn’t allowed to have a Church.  The First Amendment to the Constitution empowered business and government at the expense of religion’s unity/authority.  This fracturing of Christianity means England, the birthplace of this revolutionary thinking about religion, now celebrates Ramadan instead of Lent.  If that can happen to a legally Christian nation that still holds on to a Monarchy where do you think America is headed?

We got a foretaste last night six miles from where I’m writing this blog post.  The elected leader of the town’s legal body responsible for raising children from age five to eighteen mounted her pulpit and declared the path forward.  She did this after employing the long arm of State law to silence a loud and hilarious social media influencer by abusing harassment statute.  This womanish “leader” is calculating that Maine people are so dumbed down now that they will see in her preaching the marks of seriousness and maturity appropriate to her authority.  Especially in comparison to a religious zealot on X.

And you know what.  Before the November election she might have gotten away with this play acting.  I don’t think she will be able to now.  If the Trump administration were smart they’d globalize the Gardiner Tranny Clinic debate.  But maybe we’ve reached a point where America’s constitutional system is going to start working and we don’t need centralized control to realize that children ought not be worshipped.  Maybe we’ve realized that children must be raised to goodness from the fallen state in which we are all born.

Maine’s Governor has pondered her spat with The Donald in the White House a couple weeks ago.  She and her team have decided to compare the President to a French King who probably doesn’t even exist as a footnote in Maine textbooks outside Lewiston, Biddeford and the St. John Valley. 

If you’re losing in politics then it’s time to Get Smart.

It’s almost scholarly to compare the gold loving Trump to the Sun King.  I for one am thrilled with this turn of events.  Thank you, Governor, for injecting a bit of modern European history into all of this unhinged gender madness.  Mills must turn to something with built in gravitas to divert everyone’s attention from the fact she is defending the least popular idea in human history.  Why not the European King who cultivated an image of himself as an omniscient and infallible Sun King.  Talk about gravitas.

And it fits Trump.  She might make this stick to him.  I hope she succeeds.

Unknowingly, she and her Satanic progressive pals, are reinforcing the reason so many Americans are turning away from their ideas.  We’re rising from our slumber and rejecting the “progress” they are using our laws to enforce.  Trump represents our manly rejection of their evil.

So what if he has to suffer comparison to a political leader who enjoyed revealing a bit of leg.
