Mike Bloomberg Enters Race: Light Shed on the State of the Democratic Party

This past week, Mike Bloomberg announced that he would be running for the Democratic Nomination for President. Still a year out from next years election, this is considered late to enter the race. Although this isn't surprising - to have someone enter a very crowded Democratic race - the ensuing discussion does shine some light on the panic that is in the democratic party. The slogan for the Democrats should be, "Beat Trump."

If you have time, I'd recommend listening to the attached clip to give you some background to the state of the Democratic Party.

"The problem that they have is that they fail to make it about the people, they keep making it about Donald Trump." - Heidi Heitkamp

Flannery O'Connor's Truth of the Day

This Flannery O'Connor quote throws into relief the current state of our culture, " We live now in an age which doubts both fact and value, which is swept this way and that by momentary convictions." When political correctness and "cancel culture" dictates what people should think and how they should feel, then we lack a culture made up of men and women who do not have the backbone to say anything definitively. But before we start developing a political opinion, we should make sure that we are standing on a firm foundation: "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he doe...

Stick to the Bible: It's Gospel Truth

In response to a few well-known Christians walking away from the faith, amongst them Joshua Harris, John Cooper wrote a lengthy Facebook post . He expressed disbelief at these leaders' apostasies, "It is time for the church to rediscover the preeminence of the Word. And to value the teaching of the Word. We need to value truth over feeling. Truth over emotion. And what we are seeing now is the result of the church raising up influencers who did not supremely value truth who have led a generation who also do not believe in the supremacy of truth." I could not have said it better myself. Cooper, who is the lead singer for Skillet, is spot on in his assessment. I must confess that I was skeptical, for I have read these kinds of posts before and it just sounds like virtue signalling. But as I read it for a second time, he seems very genuine. In a follow up interview with CBN News, he re-iterated again another gospel truth:"You know what, if I'm struggling wit...

Finally Some Honesty: A Feminists' Perspective On The "Institution" of Marriage

On the most recent Patriarchy podcast, they played this video that The Guardian shared a few years ago on Youtube. The title is a dead give away as to the video's agenda: "Women, Face It: Marriage Can Never Be Feminist." Julie Bindel, the speaker in the video, opens up with this statement, "Dress it up, subvert it, deny it all you want - marriage is an institution that has curtailed women's freedom for centuries. But instead of rejecting the patriarchal and outdated tradition, some feminists have decided to reclaim it." Bindel is coming after the "feminists" that claim to be feminists, but still have the audacity to get married. To Bindel, marriage is an institution that is repressing women from achieving their full equality with men. Now, this isn't new nor surprising, but we are finally getting the honesty of the feminist movement. I don't think any sane person would want to oppress any other, like how feminism c...
