There are many sins that people have to deal with either out of habit or depression or simply due to temptation by the other side which are constant pressures that a Christian faces. While those temptations are part and parcel of life, and the reason why the Church offers the Sacrament of Confession to get you back on track, I have never been seriously tempted to reject a doctrine of the Church or the word of Christ.

I must however give the Devil his due that this move is the best one I’ve ever seen in the attempt to make me have second thoughts about the non-optional doctrine of loving your enemies and praying for those who persecute you.

Can you imagine a fireman not saving a kid because they don’t like how the parents voted? Can you imagine an auto mechanic not properly fixing a brake line because the customer voted the wrong way? Could you imagine if the US Army coming across a concentration camp only feeding those with the right political views?

This woman and those who worked above her and below her can.

Christianity explicably rejects this but the left’s utilitarian Marxism embraces it. None of them should be trusted with any position of responsibility that affects the lives of others ever again.

That being said my rosaries today will be offered for her and her like and I suggest you do the same.

The Good News and the Bad News for Desperate Incels

Of all the delights of this world man cares most for sexual intercourse. He will go any length for it-risk fortune, character, reputation, life itself. and what do you think he has done? He has left it out of his heaven! Prayer takes its place.

Mark Twain

Are you a guy who can’t get sex to save your life? Well I’ve got some good news and some bad news:

The good news is there is any easy way to make yourself attractive to a particular group of unattached women:

Libby’s video went viral, and now has been viewed more than four million times. It also seems to have given a lot of white women an idea: Yeah, let’s actually wear those blue friendship bracelets.

The trend is now growing like wildfire on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram and in Facebook groups. A lot of white women who supported Harris, feeling completely helpless to do anything to change the reality of her loss and struggling with deep feelings of rage and sadness, glommed onto this rather simple way to show their support. It’s pretty easy, after all, to buy, make, or wear a bracelet.

So you are only a blue bracelet away from being identified by a group of desperate, angry women wishing to validate themselves and console themselves as a man after their own heart. Given the level of delusion involved the opportunities to lose your INCEL stats are huge.

Now the Bad news which comes from the Screwtape letters number 18:

‘The truth is that wherever a man lies with a woman, there, whether they like it or not, a transcendental relation is set up between them which must be eternally enjoyed or eternally endured.

So ask yourself this question. Consider the women we are talking about. Do you REALLY want to eternally endure a transcendental relationship with any of these women?

I think not but then again I have a wife.

There’s a tendency by the left to refer to supporters of Donald J. Trump as a cult.

We’re not.

Oh, before I move on, if you plan to vote for the Trump-Vance ticket and other Republican candidates, do so now. While our side typically likes to vote on Election Day, there’s always that chance you’ll be ill that day, have car problems, a family emergency might arise, or inclement weather might sneak up on you. All of these things can happen tomorrow–however, there’s always the day after.

Except on Election Day.

Mrs. Marathon Pundit and I voted–for Trump of course–last week. Up until post-election day in 2020, both of us opposed early voting. But we’re against the Democrats even more.

Back to “the cult.”

The Democrats dragged a senile old man over the finish line in 2020. So instead of wandering the beaches of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Joe Biden was living in the world’s priciest nursing home, the White House. Now the Dems, citing first “joy,” and now “Trump is Hitler,” are trying to accomplish the same stunt for Kamala Harris, the poster child of that disease of the public sector, failing upwards.

Cult-leaders believe their followers will fall for anything. Which brings me to influencers.

One bizarre campaign strategy of the Dems is the use of social media influencers who mindlessly cheer on the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket. They were just as zombie-like for Biden-Harris. Since they often post on social media on the same topic almost simultaneously, I suspect all of them are being fed the same lies, oops, make that lines, by the Democratic Party or Dem PACs.

Cult members fall for such appeals to emotion.

The worst of the bunch is the man-child, Harry Sisson. More often than the others, Sissons begins many of his posts with “BOOM,” or “OMG.” And he regularly claims, almost always falsely, that a Trump rally venue is dominated by empty seats, or has attendees leaving early, which course, Sisson will say, cause the Trump-Vance campaign to “panic.”

Thru a couple of liberal PACs, Sisson is paid for his X blather, according to Community Notes on X.

A couple of other influence tools are almost as bad. Until the day Biden was pushed out of the campaign, the Kamala’s Wins X page was known as Biden’s Wins.

What wins?

In an X post last week, Kamala’s Wins said about a Tempe event, “BREAKING: Local reporters in Arizona are reporting that Donald Trump is struggling to fill seats for his rally tonight. Trump’s rallies have been emptier than ever lately.”

That Tempe rally, according to an X video posted in that account’s comments feed, didn’t seem to have a single empty seat.

Then there is Victor Shi, another influencer. Today he said on X, “This matters,” about a Madden game between Tim Walz and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Because he appears to be about 60 years old, the worst of the Harris influencer ilk is Jon Cooper.

For the last few days, Cooper has been claiming on X that a “devastating” video damaging to Trump would be released soon. We’re still waiting. If such a video existed, it would be out by now. What was that I said earlier about early voting? Depending on where you live, it began days ago–or weeks ago.

If Kamala Harris believes these influencers change or add a single vote for her, then it’s solid proof that she is too dumb to be president.

In the 2028 presidential campaign, I predict the use of influencers by Democratic presidential campaigns will be greatly diminished.

But Dem cultists, like shell game operators who can’t fool anyone anymore, will move on to something else.

Two Points About This Thread on England

Posted: October 15, 2024 by datechguy in culture
Tags: ,
  1. The points “Thinking West” are making are absolutely correct and true.
  2. The Objections and grievances of the Irish & India are also correct although in India’s case it should be pointed out that poor Indians didn’t do much better under native rulers

The point being there is nothing wrong with acknowledging both the positive and the negative aspects of a country’s history. When you ignore one or the other you insult history and you paint a false picture.

That is all.
