As a Religious Studies scholar, I don't question the faith or religion of J.D. Vance. I accept his personal commitment. As a Christian with theological education, I question Vance's Christian faith, not because of his politics, but because he so easily dehumanizes people.

I used to have at least one class reading and discussion on the Satanic Temple in my "Spirituality, Religion, and the Meaning of Life" course at a local university. Always provoked an interesting discussion, but most students were more sympathetic towards the Satanic Temple than their opponents.

No, this is NOT at all like the 1939 American Nazi Rally at MSG, where American Nazis beat the crap out of Isadore Greenbaum, a Jewish laborer who came to protest the hateful rhetoric they were espousing. (start at 3:33 & watch him enter at 3:52). 🗃️ #NightAtTheGarden www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYkU...

This judge is not fucking around 🔥 Trump bulldozed ahead with cutting down hundreds of trees at the historic East Potomac Golf Links, despite a federal judge’s warning. She ordered work stopped & warned: “If that order is violated by as so much as two seconds, there will be contempt proceedings.”

7 shots fired into an SUV with a 5-year-old child in the back seat as the vehicle was moving away. Markwayne Mullin claims the driver “weaponized” his vehicle. Bullshit! “Weaponized vehicle” has become ICE’s go-to excuse for shooting folks. Where’s the evidence? It’s not in this new footage.

I assume this is a bombshell because a real person who matters has said it, because it was absolutely crystal clear at the time that he didn’t give a fuck and the IDF were implementing the programme of destruction and mass slaughter they had been itching to put into practice for many years.

In bombshell interview, the man who served as Netanyahu's military secretary on October 7, 2023 says that the Israeli pm passed up clear-cut opportunities to bring more hostages home from Gaza alive because doing so would have risked his political career!

Worth noting here that Andrew Kolvet, spokesman for TPUSA, also endorses state-murder-as-spectacle, after defenders of Charlie Kirk insisted *his* call for such executions as mandatory viewing for kids was just banter (there's video; it wasn't) & that saying otherwise was defaming his memory.

Bradley Onishi calls this Civilizationalist Ideology in his new book American Caesar. Peter Thiel and his sycophants promote this ideology. It's White Nationalism in a sense, but focused on culture. They eliminate Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, etc., from participation in society.
