Artifice of Eternity

 

“Mea Culpa. I realized today, after hearing a sermon on loving the poor, that I haven’t been saying kind words to the poor. For that I am sorry because the poor, too, are made in the image of God. Just like me. I resolve to do better and say only kind words. Unless they don’t show me gratitude. Then all bets are off.”

Bizarrely, for an armchair jihadi who loves to judge Catholics and Mormons and other radical Protestants he disagrees with (who’s left to hate?), Glenn posted this quote from Charles Spurgeon: “ The bounden duty of a true believer towards men who profess to be Christians, and yet deny the Word of the Lord, and reject the fundamentals of the Gospel, is to come out from among them.” Jihadis aren’t known for leaving judgment to God and therefore aren’t known for leaving the world alone. Neither are armchair jihadis. Communicating their hate for God’s world is their vain idea of faithfulness. The only people who seem faithful to Christian scripture and “come out” from created world of human beings” are the Amish and stricter Mennonites. (Well, and David Koresh and his followers.) But Glenn doesn’t have that kind of courage of commitment. His need to rhetorically brutalize everyone else is the pagan god he enslaves himself to. And the Amish, surely, are condemned by Glenn as well. Who would...

“Her vision defied centuries of biblical interpretation in which, for male scholars, it went without saying that men alone are made in the image of God, and in which, for feminist critics, the Bible was irredeemably patriarchal and should therefore be looked at askance. Dr. Trible, who was conversant with many languages of biblical times, rejected both points of view. “Two things are beyond question for me: I am a feminist and I love the Bible,” she told the journalist Cullen Murphy, who profiled Dr. Trible in his 1998  book  “The Word According to Eve.” The challenge for her, as she told Mr. Murphy, was to reconcile her feminism with her belief that the Bible remained, in his words, a “repository of spiritual sustenance for women.” “ Dr. Trible gave examples in the article, writing that “feminine imagery for God is more prevalent in the Old Testament than we usually acknowledge.” Referring to the God of the Hebrew Bible, she added that “murmuring themes focus often on hunger ...

A tremendous conversation that broaches many important points of analysis. - the success of Trump’s economic populism communicated via infotainment - the New Right [braketing out charismatic britalist petsonskities] is the continuation of the old right without much pause - or is it? Has it profited from the delay of economic “promises” on the basis of diversity? - the first offshoring of labor, stripping it of protective vitality , was to Alabama, et al But one of the most central concepts our cultural unconscious was not named… though they came so close to it.  Trump’s success in the South, carrying the representation of strong White men that “the South” conveys, was due to our society’s continuing majority approval of… … White masculinity. But Who is the model that Trump and his cabinet echo? And who do young Republicans want to be? Who could fuck anyone still keep all his kids? Who could deny laborers their rights? Who filled the seats of bureaucratic power? Who manipulated thei...

 

 

 

Can’t make this up. And shouldn’t be real. Trump is illegitimate. “Paul Ingrassia, President Donald Trump’s embattled nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, told a group of fellow Republicans in a text chain the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell” and said he has “a Nazi streak,” according to a text chat viewed by POLITICO. Ingrassia, who has a Senate confirmation hearing scheduled Thursday, made the remarks in a chain with a half-dozen Republican operatives and influencers, according to the chat.”

“President Trump, I'm starting to regret my vote. “What? Now? Now you're starting to regret.” “Yeah, that's right. I mean, I was fine in the beginning. I can overlook, and I'm okay with the blatant racism and the crass sexism and the deranged narcissism and pandering the Nazis and supporting pedophiles and proudly bragging about being a sexual predator and paying your mistress to have an abortion and openly cheating your employees and mocking the disabled and praising murderous dictators and the constant pathologic lying, the petty vindictive cruelty, the staggering ineptitude, the unapologetic corruption, the nepotism, the mob ties, the calculated mendacity, the ignorance as to how American government works, encouraging violence against those who question your authority, the theft of our tax dollars to pay off your mountain of debt and or go golfing, that I mentioned that relentless lying near a liar, being a white nationalist, demonizing immigrants, the obvious disreg...

1.  A Vermont Republican legislator who faced bipartisan condemnation after participating in a long-running group chat that was peppered with racist and antisemitic language announced on Friday that he would resign. State Senator Samuel Douglass , 26, was one of a dozen young Republican Party activists from around the country who had participated in the texts, which were first reported on Tuesday by   Politico . And while some participants worked for Republican lawmakers or held government posts, Mr. Douglass was the only elected official 2.  An American flag altered to include a swastika was displayed inside the Capitol Hill office of Rep. Dave Taylor (R-Ohio).

 

Anti-blackness has always been the hub of the evil wheel that funded the nations in this hemisphere. And that funded modernity around the world for the last 500 years. Anti-blackness will always be the hub of all added bigotries and oppressions. Until Whiteness as a Thing is dissolved. The concertina wire being strung again: 1. Supreme Court Appears Poised to Upend Key Provision of Voting Rights Act In a dispute over a Louisiana voting map, the conservative majority signaled it might prohibit using race as a factor in creating election districts. Resulting redistricting could let states cement Republican control of Congress. 2. Trump Considers Overhaul of Refugee System That Would Favor White People The proposals would transform a program aimed at helping the most vulnerable people in the world into one that gives preference to mostly white people who say they are being persecuted.

 

President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to relocate World Cup matches set to be played next year in Boston, parts of which he'd suggested had been "taken over" by recent unrest. Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, home to the NFL's New England Patriots and about 30 miles from Boston, is set to stage seven matches as the U.S. co-hosts the 2026 World Cup with Mexico and Canada.  Trump was asked about the city's mayor, Michelle Wu, a Democrat whom he called "intelligent" but "radical left." “We could take them away," Trump said of the games. "I love the people of Boston, and I know the games are sold out. But your mayor is not Good.”

Craig has to manufacture bare lies in order to repress his awareness of his bloodthirsty, shit-covered soul. He claims that Dan and I have made excuses for Hamas. He claims we’ve done this for 2 years.  Does he show any evidence? Of course not. Craig needs to fog the air because he pays attention to the death of black and brown people like Trump pays attention to women’s bodies.  Craig lusts for the death of black and brown bodies. To keep doing so, for White Americans to keep lusting over dead black and brown bodies, has always and everywhere for everyone meant erasing and hiding history and forgetting facts. Especially at the margins. Craig, if he ever knew, has forgotten that Italians and Jews were lynched and bombed by White protestants. And if Craig ever crossed an unadorned Sephardic Jew on his whitened streets, I can only assume that he would assume the Jew was a Muslim. Dan can respond for himself.  I have been against the prosecution of war by Netanyahu on t...

 

Trump received Covid vaccine and flu shot during second physical of the year

President Donald Trump said Friday that he plans to fire “a lot” of federal workers in retaliation for the government shutdown, vowing to target those deemed to be aligned with the Democratic Party.

Every time we gain a major victory in dismantling that part of the five centuries of Modernity in which White Supremacy infected every area and population of our world… there is brutal push back. But we shall overcome. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BFY5G2tba/?mibextid=wwXIfr

 

When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist. Archbishop Hélder Câmara of Brasil ___ (hint for “they” [dense Marshal and the local idiot thugs]: Fr Câmara was a great, saintly Christ-following Thug)

 

Palestinian American Chemist Omar M. Yaghi Wins 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry https://thepakistanconnect.com/omar-m-yaghi-nobel-prize/ Studying chemistry was not an obvious choice for Nobel Prize laureate Omar Yaghi. He and his many siblings were raised in a single room in Amman, Jordan, with no electricity or running water. School was a refuge from his otherwise challenging life. One day, when he was ten years old, he sneaked into the school library, which was usually locked, and picked a book at random from the shelf. On opening it, his eyes were drawn to unintelligible but captivating pictures – his first encounter with molecular structures.  At the age of 15 – and on his father’s stern instruction – Yaghi moved to the US to study. He was attracted by chemistry and eventually by the art of designing new materials, but found the traditional way of building new molecules too unpredictable. Normally, chemists combine substances that are to react with each other in a container. Then...

“The pallets of aid dropped from the plane, their parachutes popping as they fell to the battered and hungry people of Gaza below. On the ground, most people in the seaside strip have been forced from their homes into a fraction of the territory. Living in tent camps, they struggle to find food, water and medicine. Many of the houses, businesses and neighborhoods that framed their former lives have been pulverized, leaving them little to return to whenever the war might end. In the two years since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, Israel has unleashed tremendous military might in Gaza, causing destruction that has few parallels in modern warfare. The result is a dismembered and disordered society. Entire branches have been lopped off family trees, with more than 67,000 killed, or one in every 34 Gazans, according to local health officials.” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-war.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

“ Pritzker Says Federal Agents Are Trying to Make Chicago a ‘War Zone’ Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois said he had ordered state agencies to investigate a raid on a Chicago apartment building where there had been reports of “nearly naked” children zip-tied by federal officers.”

 

 

President Eisenhower in a speech to the Daughters of the American Revolution, 1954. “But remember, among equals, group action is done to the greatest extent possible by cooperation. You are a free individual. The general limits of your freedom are merely these: that you do not trespass upon, the equal rights of others. In the same way, in a free society of nations, we don't dictate to one of our friends what they must do. And we certainly won't tolerate any attempt of theirs to dictate to us what to do. We are a society of equals, both nationally and internationally. And that is the problem. How do we marshal the great intellectual, scientific, economic, financial, spiritual resources of such a great aggregation of equals against a single dictatorial, ruthless enemy that threatens, through every possible type of aggression, the peace of the world?”
