Southern Baptist Convention Nashville TN
This essay is dedicated in appreciation to
Southern Baptist pastors have been spiraling downward into the abyss of fiction and fraud for generations, pushing the iniquitous sword attacking civil rights, women, people of color, and the customary whipping boy for ignorant people: the LGBTQIA+ community. From Billy Graham and G...

A “preacher” armed with a semiautomatic rifle showed up at Beto O’Rourke’s townhall in Hemphill, Texas, to challenge O’Rourke’s position on … abortion, calling it murder.
A self-proclaimed “minister of the gospel” (at present not identified by name or address) showed up at Beto O’Rourke’s town hall in Hemphill, in East Texas, on Saturday, July 30, asking questions about abortion and if Jesus was the gubernatorial candidate’s “lord and savior.” The man did all this while carrying an assault-style rifle over his shoulder just months after a gunman used a similar rifle to kill students and teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde.
The man, who claimed to be a preacher, is seen in multiple videos posted to Twitter over the weekend...

Patriotism has its place—as an expression of loyalty. It is not a hood to cover reality as if it were some medieval monk scurrying about to find heretics and apostates. Patriotism, especially to a partisan party or religion, is both plutocratic as well as destructive of the educational process. While I have written at length about bad education in the USA (where 7000 high school students drop out of education every day)1 and in other nations, when I noted...

In the summer of 1637, an armed force of English Puritans led an attack on the fortified Pequot village of Mystic in Connecticut, resulting in the deaths of around 500 Native American men, women, and children, though some estimate the numbers were higher.1 A pre-dawn attack on Mystic Fort that left 500 adults and children of the Pequot tribe dead, the Pequot Massacre (or the “Mystic Massacre”)2 was the first defeat of the Pequot people by the English in the Pequot War, a three-year war instigated by the Puritans to seize the tribe’s traditional land.3

Ivermectin warning yet people still take it and most die.
The concept of freedom of choice and expression is not absolute. No person has the right to broadcast misinformation about matters of health, social stability, and the right to express oneself in a democracy. Various physicians have been justifiably censored and removed from jobs that require public trust. This is especially true in the field of virology1 and the current coronavirus pandemic. Prescriptions for ivermectin have jumped to more than 88,000 per week, some pharmacists are reporting shortages and people are overdosing on forms of the drug meant for horses.2 Prescriptions for ivermectin have seen a sharp rise in recent weeks, jumping to more than 88,000 per week3 in mid-August from a prepandemic baseline average of 3,600 pe...

Library of Alexandria artist rendition
This essay is dedicated to my well-read and erudite friend Woody Besse in Cedar Hill, Texas who puts up with my decidedly anti-Republican essays exposing the duplicity and double-talk given to education and learning, First Amendment rights and guarantees, and the equality of all people regardless of sex, gender, gender-identification, race, age, status, etc.
Burning books and other items containing knowledge is as old as time. Julius Cesar burned the Library of Alexander, that was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. The Library1 was part of a larger research institution called the Mouseion, which was dedicated to the Muses, the nine goddesses of the arts, and all documents in it...

Around 10 members of the Goyim Defense League came to Austin from Florida this past weekend, hanging an anti-Semitic banner on a MOPAC overpass near the Shalom Austin Jewish Community Center on Saturday and then walking around the heavily trafficked 6th Street. “They were all wearing t-shirts with big swastikas and hats with the same,” said Renee Lafair, regional director with ADL Austin.
Nazis attack Austin, TX
The Goyim Defense League (GDL)1 is a small network of virulently antisemitic provocateurs led by Jon Minadeo II of Petaluma, California.
GDL parodies the Anti-Defamation League’s name and logo by replacing “Anti-Defamation” with “Goyim Defense”—“Goyim” being a disparaging Yiddish and Hebrew word for non-Jews...

Extremism is the reality that Texas has lovingly preserved: in politics, in religion, in enforcement (there are more crimes against humanity by police and sheriffs in Texas than in any other state) while education, health, family life and security remain low. The more hate a person can spew is the passport to political office, and ideas on working for the common good, raising education levels, acknowledging a racist past and precedents is laughed at and openly scorned.

In the cause of “pro-life” some Republican Texas lawmakers are seeking to provide for the potential execution of women who have abortions and the doctors who provide them, taking from the legislation off Nazi Germany (1940-1945) Texas Republican Representative Bryan Lee Slaton has introduced the “Abolition of Abortion through Equal Protection for All Unborn Children Act.”1
Bryon Slaton and his wife Sharmen was endorsed by the TEA Party July 14, 2020 in the runoff election for Texas House District 2. He authored legislation to make abortion of any fetus capital murder and the mother who aborts the fetus is to be charged with murder and if she causes the death of a fertilized egg charged with negligent homicide...
Predatory preachers, pastors, priests, prelates are killing more people with their mincing messages than any tyrant of dictator from ancient potentates to Donald Trump.
Ignorance and stupidity has led to an increasing number of deaths from COVID.
Pastor Tim Parsons died with COVID-19
Tim Parsons, pastor of Center Point Church in Lexington, Kentucky, died of COVID two weeks after catching it after Parsons ridiculed it on the church’s webpage.1 On its FAQ page the church screamed: “We don’t want to be worried because the Bible tells us not to worry. We know that God is in control and He can use all suffering to draw people to Himself. … We can also look for opportunities to turn Coronavirus conversations into gospel conversations.” All the prayers and fasting did not save Tim Parsons.2
