Dixcus said...: You know, in Sodom, there were probably at least some people who lived there who lived righteous lives, and looked around at their neighbors and shook their heads at their godless ways. They probably turned aside and tried as hard as they could to mind their own business and just live their righteous lives.

I'm reminded of this because one of our nation's 50 governors yesterday participated in a Submissive Lesbian Dorito Flamin' Hot Nacho Eucharist. An offering to Satan the likes of which this nation has never seen since Comet Ping Pong shut down and Hillary Clinton had to start eating at Domino's.

Now, you probably don't even know what a "Submissive Lesbian Dorito Flamin' Hot Nacho Eucharist" is. Maybe you don't even care. Maybe your porn snack tastes run more towards the more missionary Lays (yeah, we get it!) Potato Chips.

But you live in Sodom. Perhaps minding your own business; shaking your head at the goings on here.

But God is about to smite Sodom. All of it.

You and yours live here.

Saint Croix said...: Kamala does a sex podcast this week, and now Michigan governor Whitmer does one, too. On the podcast, she participates in a TikTok video where she mocks Communion and Christianity, while wearing Harris gear and using a Dorito's chip as a substitute for the bread of Christ.

The atheists at The Hill have no idea why this is offensive, let alone weird. It's not funny, so I don't know what the hell Whitmer is trying to do here.

One thought I had is that she's trying to sabotage Harris (like Biden!) and help Trump win. Whitmere probably wants to run for president in 2028, and she can't do that if Harris is elected.

Or maybe she just thought lesbian S&M cos-play from the governor of Michigan will actually bring in more votes for Harris. Why don't you do that at the DNC convention!

One of the questions she was asked at her sex podcast was whether she ever wanted to do a post-birth abortion on her grown children.; 10/10/24, 7:28 PM

Big Mike said...: I heard a really sick joke today. A bunch of politicians were in a bus, but the bus driver lost control and it crashed into a tree in a farmer’s field. The farmer came out with a backhoe, dug a big hole, and buried all the politicians. The next day the county sheriff drove out, looked over the accident scene, and asked the farmer if he was sure the politicians had all been killed in the wreck.

“Well,” the.fsrmer said, “Some of ‘em said they weren’t, but you know how politicians lie.”; 10/10/24, 7:30 PM

Saint Croix said...: Here's Whitmer laughing at the question and then thanking her for asking it. And then she goes on to say that killing newborns never happens.

Back in 2000, the Supreme Court said partial-birth abortion was a constitution right, and that ruling lasted for 7 or 8 years. What that means is that there was a dramatic upsurge in killing babies mid-birth in that time frame. I would suggest hundreds of thousands of babies were killed in the middle of birth.

Kermit Gosnell, of course, is infamous among pro-lifers for murdering newborns in his abortion clinic. I'm sure he wasn't the only one.; 10/10/24, 8:02 PM
Gospace said...: If you're on any social media- you should be posting this. As I have. With a simple question before- "If you're a Christian of any sort- this is why you shouldn't vote for any Democrat!" Of course I said "demoncRAT"...

Haven't heard a single demoncRAT politician condemning this- therefore- they all support it.; 10/10/24, 8:16 PM
NorthOfTheOneOhOne aka Doug Emhoff's Pimp Hand said...: When Whitmer first got nationally known, she was in this phase where she tended to wear a lot of dark colored clothes. That combined that with the dark hair, pale complexion, and that red lipstick she always wore made me think she'd missed her true calling and should have gone into the dominatrix business. That video only reinforces my certainty that I was right.

Put her in a leather bustier and a pair of thigh high leather boots and every gimp in the Midwest would be beating a path to her door, led by Tim Walz wearing his dog collar!; 10/10/24, 8:16 PM

Inga said...: https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4927730-whitmer-viral-trend-podcaster-dorito-criticism-republicans/

“Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) placed a Dorito chip in a podcaster’s mouth in an Instagram post in an attempt to reenact a viral video trend, drawing criticism from some Republicans.

The video shows Whitmer, who’s wearing a Harris-Walz hat, placing a Dorito into the mouth of Liz Plank, a podcaster and author, which follows a trend on social media of people feeding each other food, typically with the song “Dilemma” by Nelly featuring Kelly Rowland in the background.

The caption plays off the chip in the video by applauding the CHIPS and Science Act, a bill signed into law by President Biden in 2022 that provides billions in incentives to the domestic semiconductor industry and funds scientific research.

“Chips aren’t just delicious, the CHIPS Act is a game-changer for U.S. tech and manufacturing, boosting domestic production of semiconductors to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers! Donald Trump would put that at risk,” the caption reads.”; 10/10/24, 8:19 PM

I disagree. First off there are three sides: Lefties, GOPe, and the Deplorables. Secondly, the culture in general is circling the drain.

In the Assemblies of God church I grew up in, Communion was not done this way. A tray of the wine in little tiny glasses and a tray with broken up crackers was passed up and down the pews.

Jamie said...: Again I'm breaking my pre-election silence because this is not a political matter, it's religious: in your church, Inga, are the broken crackers like, Ritz? Saltines? I know that in every church I've ever attended, the wafers, crackers, or unleavened bread were made specifically for what I would call the Sacrament, and what other sects might call something else but value as highly, because we honor what we're doing and want to give our best. In my last church, I was on the team that bagged the unleavened bread for our Eucharist.

But Doritos? I don't doubt that God can consecrate a Dorito. But that's what God is doing. What are the people who offer a Dorito, a Dorito, doing by treating it the way religious Christians would the Sacrament? Are you honestly making the case that they're respecting the process, just because God has the power to consecrate whatever God decides to consecrate?

Jim at said...: And btw, I'm tempted to call bullshit on the Whitmer/Nacho thing being about the CHIPS Act.

The first interpretation I read was the 'dom' Whitmer feeding the 'sub' Kamala's favorite chips. Nachos. And that was from a lefty site. It made sense to them. They loved it. That would explain the hat.

My question? No matter how it's interpreted, just WTF was it supposed to accomplish less than a month out?; 10/11/24, 12:26 AM
Inga said...: Jamie,
I left the church when I was 18. From what I remember the broken crackers were simple broken saltine type crackers. The wine was grape juice. It was called The Lords Supper, not Communion in the Assemblies of God churches back then. No Doritos, they didn’t even exist back then. I have no idea what Whitmer and the blogger were doing except for what they said. It was a strange video, I’m pretty sure they could’ve found a better way to promote the Chips Act.; 10/11/24, 12:27 AM

gadfly said...: When Populists Rise, Economies Usually Fall

by Roberto Stefan Foa and Rachel Kleinfeld at Harvard Business Review

Far from growing private-sector wealth, we find that equity returns under right-wing populists often prove dismal. On average, they underperform benchmarks by around a quarter during a first term in office, and by half after a decade.

[Populists] tend to value short-term gains over long-term results. Taken together, the evidence suggests a common result: rising levels of debt and inflation, and sub-standard performance for markets and growth.

Some business leaders understand these trends — a June 2024 analysis found that no Fortune 100 CEO had personally donated to the Trump 2024 campaign, for example. But many fail to anticipate this reversal because they rely on heuristics such as “left” or “right.” But thinking of populists as left or right is a misunderstanding. Populists care little about ideology — what they want is power.; 10/11/24, 4:53 AM
wendybar said...: "In the lead-up to and during Barack Obama’s presidency, we were relentlessly told that Barack Obama was a racial healer and a man of unusual, almost James Bondian suave sophistication. Both were lies. Barack Obama has always been a race hustler and a crude, low-thinking person. Both traits appeared during campaign appearances he made yesterday on Kamala’s behalf, where he made a vulgar crack about Donald Trump and shamed young black men for voting for their interests rather than their skin color."

boatbuilder said...: It would take the incoming executive to revoke them (Except in Trump's case, in which the courts decide that previous orders create Constitutionally guaranteed "rights" in their beneficiaries). The incoming exec "acts like a dictator" in revoking the orders (as the predecessor exec did in making them).

Or Congress can pass specific laws precluding the executive orders where they impinge on Congressional prerogatives. But I do not think that Congress could declare executive orders void or time-limited on a prospective basis. That would seem to be an unconstitutional exercise in limiting the power of another branch of government.; 10/11/24, 7:32 AM
