Bibi’s Genocide Has Zionist Assistance

Oh, and reminder- Zionism is a political movement and opposing it is NOT anti-semitism, no matter how much the Zionists wish to use that cudgel to silence any opposition.  And if anyone says otherwise they are a feckless liar.

Bibi and his Zionist accomplices want nothing less than the deaths of all Gazans.  Children, men, women.  And it is pure demonic evil.

‘Cancel Culture’: An Observation

The so called ‘cancel culture’ is populated by the same people who, as children, threw temper tantrums in the middle of the grocery store if they didn’t get the sugar based cereal they wanted.  And their mothers gave in, thus teaching them that if they whined long enough and loud enough it didn’t matter, they got what they wished.

And now, as ‘adults’, they want the entire world to listen to their tantrums too and give them what they want, or else…

Just don’t.

Don’t Move to Louisiana- They Don’t Want Kids Who Work (!) To Have Lunch Breaks (!!!)

First, child labor…. they think it’s cool down there.  Second, now the reprobates want to stop making kids take lunch breaks.  What a cesspool.

A proposed bill is threatening a Louisiana law that requires minors to take a 30-minute break if they work five or more hours.  …

The bill, proposed by Rep. Roger Wilder, is part of a broad effort by Republicans in the state to weaken labor unions and strengthen employers’ hands.

Wilder argued that a break shouldn’t be a requirement, but instead, minors should be able to choose to take a break, because they should be treated as adults.

“Give me a break they’re young adults,” Wilder said on the House floor. “The emancipation age is 16, you’re allowed to marry at 16, you’re allowed to drive at 16. Those are all adult actions.”

Republicans in the State want to enslave children.  They ought to just say it, because that’s what they want to do.  Free slave labor provided by children.  Imagine the profits!  And that’s what they want.  Money is their god.  Hell is their destiny.

The Problem With Repudiating Evil…

Is that everyone is fine with it until you repudiate THEIR evil.

People on the left are fine with the repudiation of the evil of white nationalism and people on the right are fine with the repudiation of abortion on demand.

But people on the left are not at all fond of the repudiation of abortion on demand and people on the right are not at all happy with the repudiation of racism and racists.

Hence the problem.

If everyone agreed on what is evil, we could potentially become a better country.  But as it is everyone loves their particular evil and isn’t willing to part with it.  Ever.

Thus, we are doomed as a Country.  Because nothing binds us together but mutual hatred of the other.

A Guy in Georgia Laced his Newborn’s Milk with Antifreeze

Guys like this are why hell exists.

A Georgia father was sentenced to 50 years in prison on Thursday for using antifreeze mixed in breastmilk to poison his 18-day-old daughter four years ago.

Curtis Jack was arrested on Oct. 16, 2020, after his daughter became sick and tested positive for ethylene glycol — a chemical found in antifreeze.

Investigators said Jack had picked up bottles of breastmilk from the child’s mother two weeks earlier while she was hospitalized after giving birth to their child.

Hell awaits eagerly.

Pastor Ivan Peden is a Pedophile, but He Isn’t In Prison for It

A man will spend years on the sex offender registry after a plea connected to his actions at a Triad farmer’s market last year.

According to the Guilford County courts, Ivan Hugh-McDonald Peden entered a guilty plea on Feb. 26, 2024, to indecent exposure and sexual battery and will register as a sex offender. Sex offender registration lasts 30 years, and he received a 45 day suspended sentence for the indecent exposure and a 75 day suspended sentence for the sexual battery, as well 18 months probation.

The attorney who represented Peden said this was an Alford plea, where the individual does not admit guilt but enters a guilty plea because “the individual feels that it is in his/her best interest to do so.” The state dismissed additional indecent liberties and secret peeping charges as a result of this plea….

The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office arrested Ivan Hugh-McDonald Peden after they said they got reports of two sex offenses at the Piedmont Triad Farmers Market in Colfax. The two incidents happened on June 24 and July 14, 2023.

He belongs in prison.

The 71-year-old former clergyperson was charged with felony indecent liberties with a child, felony indecent exposure, misdemeanor sexual battery and misdemeanor secret peeping. He has also been banned from the Piedmont Triad Farmers Market.

Documents state that Peden pleaded guilty to a charge of simple assault in August of 2021, which stemmed from a charge on March 7, 2020, in Forsyth County. Reportedly, the incident involved a teenage boy working at a Forsyth County grocery store.

The victim’s grandparents say Peden was physically aggressive with the teenager. At one point, he reportedly wrote down his phone number on a receipt, forced it into the teen’s pocket and grabbed his backside. Court documents in that case state that the assault stemmed from Peden grabbing the victim’s butt “multiple times.”

At the time of his arrest, an adult victim who wished to remain anonymous said that Peden, who he had seen at the market multiple times, was in the market restroom when he walked in on June 24.

What garbage.  That wasn’t the first time he did something like that and it won’t be the last.

Another Pastor Who Likes Guys Outed for Hypocrisy: Aaron Ivey

Aaron Ivey, Pastor and Husband of Podcaster Jamie Ivey, Accused of ‘Indecent’ Texts with Men

The Austin Stone Church, a multicampus evangelical church in Austin, Texas, announced on Sunday that it had dismissed its head worship pastor after discovering he had engaged in “inappropriate and explicit ongoing text messages with an adult male,” according to a statement from the church’s elders.

Ugh. ‘Multi-campus church’. There’s clue one. Franchise churches are hotbeds of theologically ignorant and untrained ‘pastors’.

Aaron Ivey, the pastor of worship and creativity and an elder at the megachurch, was fired last Monday for what the statement called a “disqualifying situation,” which the elders said they became aware of the previous day.

And there’s clue two. ‘Worship and Creativity Pastor’. No such positions exist in the actual Church.

“Several elders were made aware of this situation on the evening of Sunday, February 4th and after reviewing the explicit nature of these messages, it was clear that termination of Aaron’s eldership and employment was necessary in accordance with the clear biblical standards outlined in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and 1 Timothy 5:19-20,” according to the statement. The first passage, from the Apostle Paul’s Letter to Timothy, urges church leaders to be faithful in marriage; the second says church elders “who are sinning” should be reproved before everyone.


The third clue? The hat, the tats, and the beard, and the homeless dude vibe.

Hey churches here’s an idea- stop trying to be like the world. Try being the Body of Christ.  Call Pastors who preach and not theobros who come up with ways to be worldly.

Grifters of a Feather Flock Together

Louisiana pastor Brad Jurkovich, who for years was the pastor to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), is facing allegations of financial mismanagement from members of his own congregation, reports The Daily Beast.

In a lawsuit filed by congregants in the church, Jurkovich is accused of violating church bylaws while also “alleging that church leaders improperly rewrote the 80-year-old rules in a ‘power grab’ that transformed the congregation into a Jurkovich-led ‘dictatorship,’ giving him essentially absolute control over financial and strategic decisions,” writes The Daily Beast.

What’s more, the congregants allege that Jurkovich “engaged in self-dealing and impermissibly steered church funds to another right-wing faith-based organization with a clear ideological and tacitly political agenda — the Conservative Baptist Network — where Jurkovich is a top official.”

There’s always something of the Fundamentalist to the grifter.  Birds of a feather…

‘Free Will’ Is A Term Fabricated out of Nothing – Calvin

Calvin writes

Free will [is a] term fabricated out of nothing. Scripture everywhere declares that man is captive, servant and slave of the devil, is carried away by all his inclinations into vice, and is unable to understand what the things of God are, let alone perform them.

He’s not wrong.  You’ll not find the notion of free will in Scripture.

Yoder and the Ick Factor

Ick. [NB- the source of the story is gone.  It was TheMennonite.org]

yoder“During the mid-1970s, John Howard Yoder embarked on an experiment in sexuality, devising his own guidelines and selecting his own subjects, whom he called ‘sisters.’ Following a three-year term as president of Goshen (Ind.) Biblical Seminary, he developed ‘the notion of a distinction between two dimensions of sexuality, the familiar and the genital.’ Yoder speculated that people plagued either by inhibitions about sexual intercourse or by promiscuity would have difficulty attaining what he termed ‘the freedom of the gospel,’ which he linked to Jesus’ encounters with women. In a series of essays that he circulated on the seminary campus and beyond, Yoder speculated about Jesus’ sexuality as a model for his disciples, for the men who followed in his path. Nearly two decades later, in 1992, a denominational task force established by leaders in Yoder’s congregation, Prairie Street Mennonite Church in Elkhart, Ind., confronted him with 13 charges of sexual abuse.”

It’s simply fascinating the twists and turns the mind will make in order to justify the most perverse behavior.  If you want to see that kind of twisted mind in action, read the whole essay.  Stunning.  Not only because of what Yoder did, but because so many turned a blind eye to it.

In Florida A Brother Murdered His Sister Because of an Argument over a Christmas Present…

A Florida woman holding her 11-month-old son in a baby carrier was fatally shot by her 14-year-old brother while trying to defuse an argument over Christmas gifts he was having with a 15-year-old brother who also was armed, authorities said.

The 15-year-old brother then shot his 14-year-old brother, though not fatally, for killing their sister on Sunday in Largo, Florida, which is located in the Tampa metro area, the Pinellas county sheriff’s office said in a news release.

The argument over gifts started while the three siblings were Christmas shopping with their mother and the sister’s two sons, ages six and 11 months. It continued when they went to their grandmother’s house where the sister, 23, told the younger brother to stop arguing with his older brother since it was Christmas Eve. The younger brother then told his sister he was going to shoot her and her infant, and then he shot her in the chest, the sheriff’s office said.

The older brother then shot his younger brother outside the home because of what he had done to their sister and he fled the home, tossing his firearm in a nearby yard, authorities said. He was taken to a mental health facility after he was located since he had threatened to harm himself. Once he is released from the mental health facility, he will be taken to a juvenile detention center, the news release said.

The 14-year-old brother was charged with first-degree murder and child abuse and for possessing a firearm as a delinquent. His 15-year-old brother was charged with attempted first-degree murder and tampering with evidence, the sheriff’s office said.

What a sickness lay upon the land.  Sickness.  Sick.  Sickening.

More Damnable Pastoral Misconduct

Another Pastor/Rapist.  Of children.  Which he raped at his church.

An Independence pastor admitted to having an inappropriate relationship with two young girls, according to court documents.  Prosecutors charged Virgil L. Marsh with one count of first-degree statutory sodomy and two counts of first-degree child molestation involving two girls under the age of 14 who attended his church between 2011 and 2018.

According to the probable cause statement, Virgil told police he “asked for forgiveness from God, and he is no longer the man who had previously done things to the victims.”  Independence police arrested Marsh outside his residence on Dec. 5, 2023, but the investigation into child abuse claims against him began months earlier.

I know what I think should happen to people who molest children.  But I suppose hell will have to serve out the justice to them that they so richly deserve.

At one point, the alleged victim told another person who lived in the home with Marsh. That triggered a meeting between the victim, her parents, and Marsh. The alleged victim told Independence police that Marsh apologized and cried during the meeting, but that the inappropriate contact involving Marsh continued.

Once a molester, always a molester.  He should have been reported to the police immediately.  And her parents…  what the devil was wrong with them?

So despicable.  So, so despicable and yet another example of the absolute depravity lurking in the vile hearts of too many clerics.

She Should Not Marry That Man

She should simply have walked away.  He doesn’t respect her.  He views her as his property.  And he is incapable of understanding just how vile and demeaning his behavior is.

The Pastor gave him 3 opportunities to be a decent person.  He ignored them.

Can you imagine how he will treat her in private?

He’s not funny.  He’s disgraceful.  And the marriage will crash and burn within the year.
