Antichrist Update: CPAC, QAnon, and Trump’s Enemies Are Falling

Hi, everyone, thanks for watching. In today’s video I simply want to talk about three recent news stories that I thought were of interest. First, we have Trump’s appearance at CPAC last Sunday. To the surprise of no one, Trump lauded himself, denigrated his enemies, and lied nonstop. He also teased about a 2024 campaign to take back the White House.

“With your help, we will take back the House, we will win the Senate, and then a Republican president will make a triumphant return to the White House”, Trump said. “And I wonder who that will be. I wonder who that will be. Who? Who? Who will that be? I wonder.”

In recent days we’ve seen reports that Trump is looking for someone other than Mike Pence to be his 2024 running mate. No surprise there, and considering how Trump demands complete loyalty and constant praise, the leading contender would have to be Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri.

6 Ways QAnon Is Poisoning Christianity (And What We Can Do About It)

Hi, everyone, thanks for watching. In today’s video I want to once again touch on the topic of QAnon, and specifically talk about how it’s poisoning Christianity. I’ve spoken about Q in a couple of other videos, and received comments from Christians who support this convoluted theory. Perhaps I should say “so-called” Christians, because a number of those comments were hateful, and denigrated whole groups of people. Needless to say, I’ve deleted most of those, but I do expect a lot of push back on this video, as well. Thus, if you see hateful or vulgar language in the comments below, I apologize in advance. I’ll delete those as soon as I can.

The reason for this video is that several recent surveys have indicated that more than 25% of white evangelical Protestants believe the QAnon conspiracy theory. Another survey found that 50 percent of white evangelical Christians either “agreed” or “strongly agreed” with the core QAnon beliefs. Other comparative surveys have also shown a correlation between Christian nationalism and a belief in QAnon. And, furthermore, that Christian nationalism, support for QAnon, and antisemitism are all linked.

Hate vs. Hate: A Dangerous Emotion Is Leading Many Astray

Hi, everyone, thanks for watching. A long time ago when I was much younger, perhaps around the age of 12 or so, I discovered Mad Magazine. Like most people who enjoyed reading each issue, I was attracted to it’s uniquely offbeat and satirical humor.

One of the features that I enjoyed reading most in MAD was called Spy vs. Spy, which was a comic strip about, you guessed it, two spies perpetually at war with each other. One spy was dressed in all white, the other in all black, and the two would devise various booby-traps to harm the other, and to “win” that particular encounter.

Something Wicked This Way Comes: The Return of Trump to Social Media

In today’s video I want to talk about the impending return of Donald Trump to social media, and how – by this summer – he will once again have a platform to sow discord throughout our country. Trump getting back on social media has been rumored for a couple of months now, since the day he was permanently banned from Twitter, and indefinitely suspended by Facebook.

It was clear right away that Trump’s enormous ego, and innate desire to strike back at perceived enemies, would motivate him to find a way back to social media as quickly as possible. As many of those around Trump have said in the past, when Trump is attacked, he strikes back 10 times harder. He is vengeful to an extreme.
