Hit & Run Commentary #141
If Biden was elected in part because of his proposed approach to the Coronavirus, why are the candidate's partisans celebrating in the streets violating the social distancing measures they want imposed upon the remainder of the population with a renewed ferocity?
Many demanding we congratulate Biden were the ones wearing vagina hats as they marched down the street in protest of the Trump inauguration.
In statements heralding the advent of his regime, Biden decreed now is the time to leave behind anger and divisive rhetoric. I'm not finding that obligation anywhere in the Constitution or statutory law. So we are supposed to surrender the basic exercise of the First Amendment when Biden hemmed and hawed in addressing Antifa/BLM pillaging for as long as he could.
Apparently Trump rallies and motorcycle conventions constitute superspreader events but street demonstrations celebrating the election of the candidate that condemned these forms of social interaction are not.
May those taking to the streets to celebrate the Biden victory rank among the foremost whose lives will be upended and ruined by his policies.
When the Biden regime attempts to force Americans back into house arrest referred to as lock downs, he should be asked why he took no rhetorical measures to discourage his partisans from swarming into the streets in violation of local edicts forbidding or discouraging large scale events.
One wishes one’s nation success. One only wishes an elected official that so much as his professed intended policies will bring about that nation’s success. If they will not, one does not. One only prayers for protection from the projected incompetence or malevolence.
If Biden partisans swarming into the streets in celebration of the election victory contract Coronavirus, is it still Trump’s fault since these are the activist sorts that preen the most about how concerned they are regarding Plague mitigation?
Sure, I'll back Ezekiel Emanuel's alleged proposal that the rest of the world get access to the Coronavirus vaccine before the common rabble of the United States. That way we can see if the pharmaceutical concoction mangles Third Worlders before it maims Americans.
Members of the leftist intelligentsia such as Thomas Friedman and Andrew Yang are suggesting that as many as possible should move to Georgia for the purposes of voting in the Senatorial runoff election. But aren't these the same sort of ideologues that condemn those that migrate from so-called Blue States in order to take advantage of the lower tax rates and costs of living believed to characterize a number of rural and southern states?
To manipulate Americans into Lock Down, it is being argued that, if we embrace this failed strategy for Thanksgiving, we will be able to have Christmas. Yet these are the same technocrats that assured that the initial shut down would just be for three weeks to flatten the curve, then until we got a vaccine, and now it is being suggested masks and social distancing should be imposed every year under threat of government violence even once Coronavirus is eradicated to address the common flu because these snowflakes are too precious to ever endure a sick day.
Senator Schumer has condemned Republican reluctance to acquiesce to the alleged 2020 election results as a temper tantrum that undermines the democratic process. Yet his condemnation of Antifa/BLM theft and destruction of property is virtually nonexistent.
Mayor Beetlejuice of Chicago is asking residents to cancel Thanksgiving celebrations. Would she ask for the same of Martin Luther King Day or one of those other fake Afrosupremacist “holidays” most White people are too afraid to call the subversives out on?

Kinless Seniors A Growing Trend
Will likely end up as one.
Contrary to some, I fail to see how this is the fault of me being some sort of godless moral reprobate as is often insinuated.
Some people were just undesired in young adulthood so they don’t end up with children..
So if the response is that I should look to organized religion to provide for my care needs as I age, why would I settle for the one that is doctrinally correct that doesn’t have much use for me when I am in my good health rather than the one that has the most resources whose peculiarities could be tolerated if one pinches closed one’s theological nose?

The Masculinity Crisis & How The Church Must Respond
A little harping of the verse of you don’t work, you don’t eat would go a long way to correct the issue.
Also, if you sire a bastard, you get saddled with the expense.
Also, frankly, young women need to be taught that if these are the deadbeats that they throw themselves at in their youth, don’t expect much of a life beyond bottom rung charity.
People of both genders need to be encouraged to provide for and take care of themselves.
I also take issue with the remark that men go off to war to protect their families.
Actually, most men go off to war because they are threatened with punishment on the part of the state if they do not comply with the order to.
In conclusion, the hardest truth that one is likely to ever have to come to accept is likely that no one desirable is likely to want you back.
But you are much better off when you come to embrace that truth.
You are better off alone than with someone that is going to make you miserable.
An Evangelical Exodus?
Probably tired of the woketopianism.
Is likely a desperation of there not many other places to go.
Can’t stand the liberalism but neither can the any longer stomach reactionary nonsense such emanating from fundamentalist pulpits such as boys that pick up dolls or cry after being bullied should be “whooped”, meaning physically punished with severity.
These souls will probably slide back out of the pew upon realizing the extent to which anti-American/anti-Caucasian ideology has also infiltrated Catholicism.

Response To Capitol Kerfuffle An Excuse To Curtail Free Speech
In light of the Capitol Kerfuffle, powerful elites are vociferously suggesting that those questioning the outcome of the 2020 election should be banned from social media or even forced to resign from elected office.
So what other notions considered to be historical truths should we be forbidden from questioning if we as individuals wish to retain our tenacious grip on what few diminishing liberties and opportunities we will be allowed by technocratic elites?
For nearly two decades now, it has been suggested that those that question global warming or climate change should be charged with no less than crimes against humanity.
If today one cannot question an election in which a significant number of Americans have raised a variety of valid concerns, what punishments or sanctions will be imposed upon citizens with the courage to question the legitimacy of racial reparations when such scams are pushed through the federal legislature?
In light of the Capitol Kerfuffle, progressives are at the forefront of rallying to the defense of a structure propagandists now categorize as “beloved” and as “a symbol of democracy”.
It is amazing how a comprehensive narrative can flip in less than the span of a single news cycle.
For those espousing leftwing ideology not that long ago were calling for the demolition of federal city edifices no less impressive as the Capitol such as the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial.
Even more importantly these radical activists agitate constantly for the implementation of the very revolutionary Marxism that has destroyed lives and liberty around the globe.

Is The GOP Losing Its Will To Fight?
A story in the 10/3/22 edition of the Christian Science Monitor is titled “In Arizona, a major test of GOP unity: Will Republicans follow Barry Goldwater or Donald Trump?”
But in the contexts of their respective particular historical moments, were these figures viewed that differently by their respective Party establishments and leftwing media critics?
After all, was it not Goldwater that intoned that extremism in the defense of liberty was no vice and that moderation in the defense of justice was no virtue?
In retaliation, the Johnson campaign produced the infamous Daisy Ad in which a young girl was seemingly incinerated in an atomic explosion.
Say what you will about the alleged differences between Trump and Goldwater.
However, one is forced to admit that a wall is inherently more peaceful than a nuclear deterrence can ever hope to be.

The Study Of The History Of The End Of The World, Part 8
Though history is linear in that it is moving towards an ultimate destination rather than circular in the sense of rigid absolute recurrence, it cannot be denied that the dynamics of human development and unfolding events do often follow a cyclical path over time. For example, eventually the sects of the nineteenth century that began with considerable apocalyptic and utopian fervor such as the Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses tempered these impulses to an extent in favor of the stabilization brought about by leadership focusing more upon continuity of organization rather than the cessation of human affairs as presently known. The cultural change of the nineteenth century continued onward well into the twentieth. As such, it was to be expected that fringe movements outside the mainstream of conventional American religious life would continue to increase. But given the exaggerated pace of contemporary life, a number of these would prove to be far deadlier than their counterparts originating in what might be considered more tranquil bygone eras. In his analysis of the fringe groups embracing a form of apocalypticism arising from the tumult of the counterculture, Richard Kyle categorizes these as Western, occult, or racist.
The groups described as Western would be those that would be described as cults deriving inspiration from Christian theological terminology even if these sects no longer imbued the words with their original meanings. A number of these ended tragically in episodes of dramatic violence. Foremost among these ranked Jonestown in the jungles of Guyana and the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas.
In the early days of his ministry, one would not have necessarily thought that the name Jim Jones would become synonymous with cultic violence and abuse. Jones began his ministry loosely affiliated with the Disciples of Christ with a concern regarding what he perceived as the racism of his day. Eventually, Jones' apocalyptic views focused more upon pending disaster rather than Christ's actual return. Initially, this prompted Jones to uproot his congregation from Indiana to settle in California where Jones thought it would be more likely to survive an inevitable nuclear catastrophe. However, it was this desire to protect his flock from the perils of the world through the fanatical withdrawal from society without relying on the power of Christ that would ultimately doom this experiment in integrated communal living.
As a result of increasing allegations of abuse within the People's Temple and out of a fear that even California would not prove to be a refuge from the pending tribulation, Jones relocated to the sect's compound in the Guyanese wilderness known as Jonestown where he descended into deeper levels of insanity and evil. The straw that broke the camel's back occurred when Senator Leo Ryan and an NBC news crew arrived to investigate claims of abuse alleged by families of group members as well as those residing at the compound. The desperate there reached out to the legislator after an initial meeting actually seemed to go well. These souls confided that they had not found a sanctuary from the hardships of the world but had actually become trapped in a Hell on earth.
Fearing retaliation on the part of authorities for assassinating the Senator along with others at the remote jungle airstrip, Jones attempted to convince his followers to commit what he categorized as an act of revolutionary suicide. It is often assumed that the residents of Jonestown embraced death in this manner willingly as it is what comes to mind when admonishing someone not to drink the Kool Aid, a reference to the toxic potion concocted to bring about this disturbing end. However, many only relented at gunpoint and others were actually shot. And though Jonestown no doubt stands as perhaps the most infamous example of the tragedy likely to result when people surrender good judgment and discernment for promises of a blissful tomorrow if all they do is surrender in total to a leader claiming direct revelation from or a unique understanding of God to which other believers are not privy, it would certainly not be the last.
Another example of such a group meeting a tragic demise as a result of an out of control belief in the Apocalypse was the Branch Davidians of Waco, Texas. The Branch Davidians were themselves derived from Seventh Adventism, which adherents of this splinter group believed had grown lax in doctrine over the years as the emphasis of the mother movement switched from eagerly awaiting the pending Advent to organizational expansion. Deadbeat Vernon Howell was able to smooth talk his way into the sect's leadership by pitching woo at the elderly matriarch. With his knack for quoting Scripture (even if pulling it out of context), Howell was able to rebrand himself as David Koresh, claiming that he was the Lamb referenced in the Book of Revelation who would open the seven seals described in that prophetic text. As a result of a series of tactical blunders on the part of both Koresh and the government, eighty-eight Branch Davidians died in this attempt at actualized eschatology when the compound caught fire after a siege lasting well over a month.
Another form of fringe eschatology to gain a foothold towards the close of the twentieth century was noticeably racialist in nature. One of the early forms of what might be categorized as genetic apocalypticism could be found in the Worldwide Church of God as established by Herbert W. Armstrong. Central to the teaching of Armstrongism was the doctrine of Anglo-Israelism, the belief that the Anglo peoples of the world such as Great Britain and the United States were the descendants of the lost tribes of Israel. As such, these nations were as every bit as eligible for the promises made to the Chosen People as were the Jews. Like the Jews that Armstrong hoped to mimic, his sect also held to Old Testament dietary laws, Sabbatarianism, and the rejection of the Trinity. In terms of his eschatology, Armstrong was influenced by dispensationalist notions of history spanning roughly for six thousand years with Christ returning at the Second Advent to establish the Millennial Kingdom which would follow the Tribulation during which the Antichrist would rule the world from his power base of a European confederacy consisting of ten nations.
But whereas Armstrong's form of ethnic millennialism might have admired the Jews a little too enthusiastically to the point of wanting to be part of a pan-Israelite family, the other forms of End Times speculation focused upon ethnicity actually went to the other extreme of explicit hostility towards the Jews and the exclusion of those not belonging to a preferred racial group. These movements were Christian Identity and the Black Muslims.
Christian Identity was similar to Anglo-Israelism in that both believed that the Caucasians of northern Europe were the true Chosen People of God. However, Christian Identity parted ways with the Worldwide Church of God in insisting that those now categorizing themselves as Jews in fact had no connection to Biblical Israel genetically. Instead, the vast majority now identified as part of that nation or ethnicity are actually descendants of a group known as the Khazars that converted to Judaism in the seventh century (Kyle, 160). Unlike traditionalist Christians who (despite instances of racial animosity or misgivings) admit that all humanity shares a common ancestry back to Adam and Eve and most directly from Noah following the Deluge, Christian Identity believed that non-Whites are not fully human in that such groups are the result of carnal relations between Satan and Eve in the case of the Jews or the result of a creation prior to the divine intervention resulting in Adam and Eve.
Interestingly, the tyrannical government known as the New World Order warned of by adherents of Christian Identity sounds quite similar to that of the Tribulation period under the Antichrist probably described in the greatest detail by dispensationalist scholars. However, beyond that, the two schools of eschatological interpretation have little else in common. For example, Christian Identity rejects the Pretribulational Rapture outright. Perhaps most disturbingly, in order to being about the Kingdom of God the faithful will be required to wage a race war, a prospect most often eagerly anticipated rather than dreaded by those mired in this spiritual delusion. The hope of the practitioner of Christian Identity is not that the Jew will be brought to Christ during the time of upheaval but will instead be eliminated so that the Earth and the surviving bloodlines might be spared genetic contamination or purified.
At the other end of the spectrum of racialist Armageddon could be found the Black Muslim movement. Despite being called the Nation of Islam, the sect was rather more of a cult than an expression of of orthodox or mainstream Islam. The Nation of Islam was founded in the 1920's by Wallace Farad, a mysterious figure many within the sect believed to be a theophany or God manifested in human form. His chief prophet and successor as leader was Elijah Muhammad.
In terms of eschatology and doctrine, the Nation of Islam advocated a militant anti-Caucasian Afrosupremacism. Whites are believed to be a genetically engineered inferior subspecies that will be obliterated when pious Blacks are taken up in a Rapture-like event to the Motherwheel --- a craft reminiscent of a UFO inspired in part by the Book of Ezekiel --- which will rain nuclear annihilation down upon those remaining upon the Earth at that time. Unlike orthodox Islam, the Nation of Islam held that there was no life after death and thus no literal Heaven or Hell. The religion's golden age would consist of the Black subjugation of the planet Earth.
The third variety of apocalyptic group to arise in the contemporary world could be categorized as New Age or occult. The groups, sects, and teachers falling into this particular category foretold of a pending golden age often proceeded by cataclysmic upheaval. However, unlike those drawing their prophetic inspiration from Christian sources, the primary focus of those in the occult or New Age was not so much the Second Coming of Christ but rather more about communal or personal transformation. Richard Kyle writes, “The coming New Age will be based not on some doomsday scenario but on a paradigm shift (154).” Through this paradigm shift, humanity will actualize the deity within. The result will be a new order characterized by equality, ecological restoration, international cooperation and galactic harmony.
Unlike strict Marxist Communism with its absolutist materialism, the New Age movement allowed for the existence of higher order intelligences or spirit beings it believed would guide humanity along the path to cosmic awareness. Most often now such entities are depicted as extraterrestrials like those their proponents believe responsible for UFO phenomena. The movement that developed surrounding the study of encounters began to take on characteristics noticeably beyond that of mere scientific curiosity and more like those of a religion or form of spirituality following George Adamski's claim in 1952 that he had met and talked with an extraterrestrial (Kyle, 157). Soon a sort of gospel affirmed by a number of others also claiming to be contactees developed professing for the need of our species to move beyond crass materialism and hostility into a more comprehensive awareness of reality if we wanted to avoid widespread destruction such as that embodied by nuclear weapons the recent development of which on Earth brought the planet to the attention of interstellar authorities.
At this point, Christian and New Age eschatology seem to parallel one another but diverge in distinct interpretative directions. In Dispensationalism, prior to the Tribulation, Christ catches His saints both the living and the dead into the air so that they might escape the judgments about to be poured out upon the Earth. In the spin placed on events by adherents of the New Age, Christians are still the the ones removed from the Earth at that time. However, that action on the part of extraterrestrials is not seen as a reward for dedication to Christ but rather as punishment. For it is the tendency of the true Christian to stick to morality as described in the pages of the Bible and that belief in Jesus Christ is the only way to gain access to Heaven. These notions are perceived as a profound impediment to the kinds of changes that need to take place in order for this utopian golden age to be actualized. Likewise, the cataclysms described in passages such as the Book of Revelation will not so much be viewed as God deliberately instigating the judgments. Instead, these disasters will be viewed as the Earth repairing itself after centuries of neglect at the hands of a culture based on Judeo-Christian principles rather than the balance claimed to be found in pantheism.

Hit & Run Commentary #140
At the Trump campaign rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, one could not help but notice two individuals appearing to be Amish standing behind the President. The individuals stood out because of their distinct hats and mustacheless beards which ranked among the very few countenances not concealed behind a mask. Will the conspicuously pious condemn the duo for exhibiting an “obstreperous spirit of rebellion” as one online theologian condemned his coreligionists that did no more than articulate a skeptical dislike while actually complying in venues where the garment was required under threat of law enforcement intervention. If these Amish were in touch enough with what their sect condemns as the Luciferian English to know that there was some sort of political hootenanny taking place, shouldn’t they have also known about the face covering mandate? More importantly, do Christians requiring their average fellow believers to obey these sorts of intrusions against their will possess the backbone to impose it upon those sects the majority have been conditioned to dare not question?
Given the number of Black Lives Matter as well as the Biden campaign yard signs lining the streets, I am reminded that, while I live in this town, I don’t really live in this town.
Should the Biden campaign succeed in seizing power, if the crime rates rise in light of leftwing policies, it is my sincere hope that if there must be victims that they will be from among those that erected BLM signs in their yards that will be brutalized or have their property violated. The resultant world, is after all, the inevitable outcome of their brand of activism.
A Dove Soap commercial declares that Black men care about Black women. So would an advertisement supposedly about soap but rather about propagandistic indoctrination as boldly proclaim White men care about White women? For if Black men can affirm a preference for their own sort or breed, why should White men remain silent as to their prefered mating preference?
So where is the rationality of compelling individuals against their will to intake into their bodies a substance likely to elicit in at least five percent of cases a negative response (some of them permanent) for the purposes of soliciting an immune response only about half of the time to a disease that nearly 99% of the population is not going to die from in the first place? Such a requirement has nothing to do with science. This is about the forced implementation of a technoshamnistic religion.
Quasi-senile coot Joe Biden, in one of the rare instances where he was allowed out of the convalescent ward, in Atlanta droned on that if Americans would wear a mask for just a few months, the nation would get the Coronavirus plague behind us. But the vast majority of Americans have been wearing masks in public for nearly half a year now, particularly in areas with significant concentrations of population. It is an historic or even fact of human nature that there is never 100% compliance with any law or government edict. So what exactly is Biden advocating? Are we to assume that he wants an all-pervasive surveillance state? And perhaps as important, so long as there is a single case of coronavirus will Americans be forced to shroud their most basic form of individuality through this form of intervention bordering on tyranny now through the close of the present Dispensation? For somewhere out there there will always be a concern regarding this microbe lurking and its looming resurgence.
According to senile coot Joe Biden in Atlanta during one of those rare instances where his Illuminist handlers likely deemed him sufficiently medicated to be allowed out of his sanitarium cell, a “season of protest” erupted over President Trump’s refusal to articulate the liturgical injunction “Black Lives Matter”. In the instances of his rare public pronouncements, Biden insists that his regime will be about bringing people together. So what will be done to those that refuse to vocalize ascent to this creedal formulation if Biden invokes such as the root cause for the violence and looting perpetrated by his most ardent co-belligerents if not outright supporters?
President Trump categorized Joe Biden as a “touchy and feely sort of guy.” That has got to be of the most explicit examples of “takes one to know one” to have ever transpired.
Virginia Military Institute is considering the removal of a statue of Stonewall Jackson on campus over that figure’s connection to the Confederacy. But to be consistent, shouldn’t that institute now vote to abolish itself out of existence?
Luxury New York apartment complexes have hired armed guards to protect the occupants in anticipation of post-election upheaval. Parts of Beverly Hills are being cordoned off beforehand for the very same reason. Mind you, these are the very same locations inhabited by those the foremost demanding that Trump denounce the Proud Boys for that movement’s vigorous defense of Western civilization. These elites now invoking the Second Amendment in the attempt to protect all that they have accumulated have for decades insisted that the right to the implements of self-defense exist nowhere in the text of that constitutional provision.
Joe Biden laments President Trump utilizing so-called loopholes in order to pay the minimum amount of tax possible. But having been in high elected office for well over forty years, weren’t many of these provisions by definition been promulgated under Biden’s tenure?
In an anti-Halloween sermon, a pastor instead suggested an alternative where congregants could come to church dressed as Bible characters. In the homily, the pastor fondly recalled one such occasion where he came costumed as Eglon. For those not familiar, Eglon was the obese King of Moab that was so fat that Ehud could not pull the dagger out of the abdomen of when the tyrant was assassinated as detailed in Judges 3. Following this logic, if one is free to adorn oneself as a villain of the Bible at these social events, on what grounds does one get bent out of shape if a participant came decked out as Satan, the Antichrist, the Witch of Endor, or the Loose Woman of the Book of Proverbs?
In an anti-Halloween sermon, a pastor said it is the Devil (not God) that likes blood and guts. Such was articulated in regards to a highly detailed hunting video game. But wasn’t it God that required a detailed system of blood sacrifices on behalf of the Israelites? So apparently the blood fascination comes from somewhere and it not apparently all bad.
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has promulgated an edict that those entering the jurisdiction should submit to a mandatory Coronavirus test. However, the measure will not be enforced. Then why would anyone willingly submit to such an intrusion voluntarily? And does this stipulation apply to protesters coming to town to loot and riot?
If the Biden regime imposes a national mask mandate, states that value liberty should refuse to implement or enforce it.
Interesting how questioning the results of an election is being rhetorically categorized as a greater outrage than efforts to undermine the legal observational oversight of the process.
Those questioning the legitimacy of the election have still looted less property than Antifa or Black Lives Matter.
What part of the First Amendment does not allow a skeptic to question the legitimacy of election results?
