CHRISTIANITY: [42:10] – I started reading Jonathan Kahn’s new book, Avatar, and learned some eye popping stuff that isn’t at all surprising. For example, I had NO idea the modern Olympics are filled with pagan worship! Learning this explains a lot about why the last few opening ceremonies have been so aggressively offensive to Christians!

The ancient Olympic games were banned when Christianity became the legal and approved religion of the Roman Empire, because they were a giant worship event honoring pagan gods, who we know are demons that are still alive. For example, during the ancient Olympics, athletes and priests made elaborate blood tributes to their gods, including the sacrifice of a hundred oxen at the Great Altar of Zeus.

The Olympic flame was an element of the ancient games that was revived with the 1936 Berlin Olympics, the one organized by the Nazis who were deeply immersed in pagan worship. Then, as now, the flame started at the sacred which flame continuously burns in the sanctuary of Hestia, the goddess of sacrificial fire, in Olympia, Greece.

LIFE: [12:50] – Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, wrote and preached extensively about the value of eugenics. Adolf Hitler and a host of his followers admired her and adopted her satanic ideals.

MEMORIALS: Evil is real, and Charlie Kirk’s murder has exposed a lot of it. Sickos are not stopping at posting vile remarks on social media.

MYTHBUSTER: On September 1, 2022, then-President Joe Biden delivered a speech entitled “The Continued Battle for the Soul of the Nation.” The video is above; the transcript is linked below. It is sometimes called his “Nazi Speech” because of the stage dressing and caustic lines he spoke. E.g., “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” And, “MAGA Republicans have made their choice. They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies.”

The photo of him scowling, with his fists raised, is often seen. I watched the whole speech to find what he was actually saying at that point. It turns out the gesture wasn’t even remotely Hitler-esque. His facial expression means nothing, because he scowled through the entire speech. And he was not raising his fists and shaking them in anger. He merely pointed with his thumbs, very briefly, at Independence Hall behind him while saying, “American democracy only works only if we choose to respect the rule of law and the institutions that were set up in [gesture] this chamber behind me.”

OH CANADA: Parents at Corvette Junior Public School in Toronto were shocked last week when they learned that their 10- and 11-year-old children were shown the graphic video of the assassination of Charlie Kirk in their French immersion class. The “teacher” reportedly praised the assassin, compared Kirk to Nazis and said he deserved his fate. Said “teacher” has been placed on administrative leave and the Toronto District School Board said it is prioritizing student well-being while the situation is reviewed.

PANTS ON FIRE: While watching the video of Biden’s “The Continued Battle for the Soul of the Nation” speech, I noticed he touched his mouth once and only once, which was when he was saying, “And they see their MAGA failure to stop a peaceful transfer of power [touches mouth ] after the 2020 election as preparation for the 2022 and 2024 elections.” A gesture like this is often associated with lying.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Lord, awaken Your Church in America to be a light in the darkness. May we stand boldly for truth. Amen.

There will be a reckoning

On September 10, Nick Freitas posted the following to X.

“I am told that as a state representative this is the moment where I’m supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people.

“But we aren’t ‘one people’ are we?

“The truth is we haven’t been for some time now, and there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was.

“We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end.

“I convinced myself for a long time that whenever the left called me a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a fascist, a ‘threat to democracy’ for even the most innocent of disagreements, that it was simply hyperbolic rhetoric done for effect.

“And now the ‘effect’ is a widow and two orphaned children, because the left couldn’t bear the thought of a peaceful man debating them and winning.

“I don’t think they realize it yet, but murdering Charlie is going to be remembered as the day where we finally woke up to what this fight really is.

“It’s not a civil dispute among fellow countrymen. It’s a war between diametrically opposed worldviews which cannot peacefully coexist with one another. One side will win, and one side will lose.

“Charlie tried to win that fight through argumentation, through discussion, through peaceful resolution of differences.

“And the other side murdered him.

“Not because he was ‘extreme’ or ‘inciting violence’ or any other hyperbolic slur they hurled at him. They murdered him because he was effective. Because he was unafraid. Because he inspired others and made them feel like they had a voice, that they were not alone. And he did it at the very institutions which have fomented so much hatred toward conservatives.

“I don’t want to ‘stand in solidarity’ with the other side of the aisle. I want to defeat you. I want to defeat the godless ideology that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness … and that murdered Charlie Kirk.

“Social media is aflame right now with leftist celebration of Charlie’s death.

“I wonder if any among them understand what has just happened. If there is a Yamamoto somewhere in their midst warning, that all they have done is awoken a sleeping giant.

“I doubt it. I think they gave up such introspection and self-awareness long ago.

“I don’t know exactly what will happen next. I just know that it won’t be the same as what has happened in the past.

“There will be thoughts and prayers … Charlie would have wanted prayers. Not for himself but for those left behind and for the country that he loved.

“But then there will be a reckoning.

“My Christian faith requires me to love my enemies and pray for those who curse me. It does not require me to stand idly by in the midst of savagery and barbarism … quite the opposite. So every time I feel tired, every time I feel discouraged or overwhelmed, I am going to watch the video of a good man being murdered in Utah … I will force myself to watch it … and then I will return to the work of destroying the evil ideology responsible for that and so much more.

“Rest with God Charlie, your fight is over.

“Ours is just beginning.”

Below, Nick reads his post and the response from the Speaker of the Virginia House, then responds.

When I was googling for a graphic, I came across this. “Gretchen Felker-Martin, a well-known transgender horror author and journalist, tweeted on February 12 that she wanted to slit J.K. Rowling’s throat.”

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Lord, remove hatred and division from our country. Let love and understanding fill our land. Amen.

SOCIAL MEDIA: Charlie’s last post before he was assassinated said, “If we want things to change, it’s 100% necessary to politicize the senseless murder of Iryna Zarutska because it was politics that allowed a savage monster with 14 priors to be free on the streets to kill her.”

We Remember!

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Have mercy on the souls who died that day and are still in Purgatory. Be not harsh in Your judgment, but send angels to escort them to a place of refreshment. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

AMERICA PRAYS: [8 :30] – I’m going to start posting prayers for our nation regularly. I hope y’all will join me in saying them.

BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL: A new poll has been conducted by Rasmussen at the behest of the Job Creators Network, America’s largest small business advocacy group. It shows “a full 42% of American small businesses plan to raise employee wages/benefits as a result of their tax cut savings, and 91% plan to raise wages/benefits, expand, hire, or reinvest in their communities.”

BORDER: Over the weekend, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested California resident and illegal alien Miguel Barrera-Corona of Mexico, who has been arrested 49 times in the past and convicted of assault with a deadly weapon, burglary, vehicle theft, criminal threats to terrorize, and drunk driving.

CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/626775773620654 to hear what this man’s Southern Baptist preacher said about his plan to become Catholic.

CHARLIE KIRK: To honor his memory, I am choosing not to report on those who are celebrating this appalling act of violence. I will only say this: “May God have mercy on their souls.”

Update on the case: LEOs found the weapon, an older model imported Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt action rifle, wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near the campus, which appears to match the suspect’s escape route. The spent cartridge still chambered in addition to three unspent rounds all had transgender and anti-fascist ideology engraved on them. The firearm and ammunition have been taken by the FBI for DNA analysis and fingerprint impressions.

COOKING THE BOOKS: The Bureau of Labor Statistics has had to revise Biden’s final-year jobs numbers down by 911,000, the largest correction on record.

EDUCATION: On September 9, the results of the 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress were released. The scores for high school seniors in both math and reading were the lowest on record.

IRYNA ZARUTSKA: Video footage of Decarlos Brown Jr. shows he was muttering, “I got that white girl” right after he stabbed the Ukrainian refugee.

CLICK https://x.com/TimJGraham/status/1965118410343215269 [1:03] to hear CNN’s Brian Stelter report that this video was feeding the MAGA right’s “baldly racist” narrative.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Heavenly Father, we ask for healing over the divisions in our nation. Restore unity and peace among Your people. Amen.

SCOTUS: In the interests of transparency, I stopped listening at 5:03. [18:03] – On Monday, the Supreme Court blocked a federal judge’s ruling that restricted federal officers’ ability to conduct immigration stops in the Los Angeles area. Watching Mika’s snotty expression and hearing her absurd gotcha question reminds me of Roger Stone and Mark Houck, who woke up to find their houses surrounded by armed federal agents. Stone’s deaf wife was awakened with a gun in her face. Houck’s children had to watch their dad being hauled away in handcuffs. Neither of these men were public safety threats.
