How Helene Affected The People Of Appalachia

To begin with, this is your president. This ought to be one of the most shameful things ever said by a sitting president. "Do you have any words to the victims of the hurricane?" BIDEN: "We've given everything that we have." "Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?" BIDEN: "No." pic.twitter.com/jDMNGhpjOz — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 30, 2024 We must have spent too much money on Ukraine to help Americans in distress. I don't…… [read more]

Facebook “Fake” News Censorship And Comet Ping Pong

BY Herschel Smith

Business Insider:

Facebook swayed the presidential election — but he acknowledged that the social networking site has work to do when it comes to hoaxes on the platform.

The Facebook CEO wrote a post on his page Saturday regarding the site’s role in this year’s election after people began blaming Facebook for allowing fake news to be distributed on the site, perhaps contributing to Donald Trump’s surprising victory.

Speaking at the Techonomy conference on Thursday, Zuckerberg initially dismissed the accusations.

“Personally, I think the idea that fake news on Facebook, it’s a very small amount of the content, influenced the election in any way is a pretty crazy idea,” he said.

But after continued backlash, Zuckerberg took to Facebook to share his thoughts on the site’s role in disseminating news, writing that the company will “continue to work on this to improve further” but must do so cautiously in order to avoid bias. Identifying what’s true and what’s not is “complicated,” he said, and even mainstream news can get it wrong sometimes.

An example of the fake news he’s talking about might be what folks have learned of Comet Ping Pong In Washington, D.C. over the last couple of weeks.  If you believe that there is something nefarious going on, you’ve been lampooned in this article.

The 2016 presidential campaign is finally, mercifully, nearing its completion, but there’s still time for a little more absurdity. Comet Ping Pong, a pizzeria in the Washington DC neighborhood of Chevy Chase, is much more than a pizzeria. It’s the center of a Clinton-operated sex ring, according to alt-right conspiracy theorists on Reddit, 4Chan, and across the rest of the internet.

The title of the article is “Internet Crazies Think this DC Pizzeria Is The Center Of A Clinton Sex Ring.”  Crazy, you are.  Not just that, you’re an internet crazy.  I suppose that’s worse, but I’m not sure.

Of course, there is this with which to contend.  One might ask what kind of “family friendly” pizzeria (as it’s advertised) has drag shows (Caution: NSFW).

And remember that Mark Zuckerberg wants to figure out what’s true and fake news so they can censor it from Facebook.  I no longer have a Facebook account, having deleted it long ago.

From reader Darin Sunny McCollough, this from Wikileaks:

With fingers crossed, the old rabbit’s foot out of the box in the attic, I will be sacrificing a chicken in the backyard to Moloch . . .

Hillary Clinton, Pedophile And Child Kidnapping Ring, And Endorsement Of Trump

BY Herschel Smith
8 years ago

Unfortunately this has been a long time coming and there is water over the dam.  I have a history on the issue of Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and this election that readers may remember, and why I have changed my position needs some explaining.  So let’s get right to it.

Six months ago I bid farewell to politics.  It had nothing whatsoever to do with Trump or his moral indiscretions.  It had everything to do with the eviction of Christian thought from the GOP.  The alt-right is welcome in the GOP, I am not.  The obscene pervert Milo is a friend of the current staple of politics on the right, mine has gone the way of the Dodo bird.  This election cycle has managed to do what the progressives couldn’t do in a hundred years, i.e., separate Christians from any party at all and relegate our views to the trash heap of history, at least, as far as the eye can see, notwithstanding a sovereign God who rules all things and can revive the country if He chooses to.  I would never vote for any other candidate of which I’m aware, but I couldn’t vote for Donald Trump.

Ted Cruz isn’t perfect, and I’ve cataloged some of my disagreements with him, including his idiotic opposition to sentencing reform for drug and non-violent offenders advocated by Mike Lee.  But I’ve also cataloged his leadership, described by Louie Gohmert, to kill the gang of eight bill.  You may have a lawless president, but you don’t have a gang of eight bill today because of Ted Cruz.  Furthermore, I know his world view because I share his Christian faith.  He isn’t perfect, and neither am I.  But he was my choice.

South Carolina broke my heart.  But she was only a harbinger for what was to come, and I knew it was over at that point.  I couldn’t bring myself to be involved in much of anything regarding politics.  But things have changed, and I now fully endorse Donald Trump for president.  The voter I heard from South Carolina after the primary made me think for a long while.  She said, “We ain’t electin’ no preacher, we are electin’ a president!”  We’ll call this woman “Ms. dumbass.”

Ms. Dumbass doesn’t understand, but it isn’t her fault, at least not completely.  I was never concerned about the character of Trump.  I was concerned about the lack of the world view associated with being a Christian.  I reject out of hand the obscene, stupid and insulting phrase “co-religionist.”  You don’t get to do a few things like a Muslim and declare yourself a Christian (John 3:8).  It involves a change of heart, and then quite out of your control and necessarily, a change of world and life view over time.

The typical Southern Baptist preacher today says a few nicey-nice things and then has a come to Jesus moment, and then the congregants put on their idiotic costumes and cheers for their favorite band of perverts and criminals giving each other concussions.  Contra this, Rousas J. Rushdoony has said that the place for both theology and philosophy is in the pulpit.  The notion that God is deaf, dumb and mute when it comes to criminal justice, monetary policy, state law, waging war, art, science and music is ridiculous.  Constructing a consistent, holistic world and life view takes a lifetime.  Ms. Dumbass had divorced her faith from her worldview because she hasn’t been taught.  Much of the blame for where we are today lies with ignorant preaching.

Donald Trump may not have a consistent world and life view, or one that comports with my own in every way.  But the expulsion of such a world view from the GOP isn’t his fault.  Nor is it the fault of the establishment.  The voters put us squarely where we are.  Donald Trump isn’t a solution to the problem since he didn’t cause it.  Ms. Dumbass cannot fix it because she is too stupid and ignorant.  Ignorant because she hasn’t been taught, stupid because she opens her mouth in her ignorance.

But what Mr. Trump can indeed do is serve as justice and retribution for the evil and savagery inside the cabal inhabited by the Clintons and their ilk.  I have studied over time the evil, wickedness and designs for destruction that controls their every thought and action.  Take for instance this reddit thread on one Podesta email exchange on “spirit cooking” (h/t to my second son Joseph).  No, he isn’t having dinner with someone.  Read the thread and watch the video on what spirit cooking is.  These guys are Satanists into the occult.  This is one of hundreds of such threads put together by the “autists” at reddit and 4chan.  When is the bomb going to drop?  Is has been for four or five months now.  The MSM won’t cover it.

And now let’s get to one of the worst issues we could imagine (I truly hate to send you to things like this – these people are sickening and disgusting).  Up until today when my oldest son Joshua sent me this thread, I had doubted the implications of the Clinton’s involvement in a kidnapping and pedophilia ring.  Not any more.  Read this discussion thread at reddit (again, I’m sorry to send you to gross things like this, but the autistics at reddit are doing everyone’s job for them).  No one else will cover this sort of thing because it’s too dark and wicked.

They have connected a convicted child abductor who was caught stealing children from Haiti to the Clintons.  There is way, way more than this.  For example, there is this.

Hi John,

The realtor found a handkerchief (I think it has a map that seems pizza-related. Is it yorus? They can send it if you want. I know you’re busy, so feel free not to respond if it’s not yours or you don’t want it.

Susaner

A pizza related map on a handkerchief.  Who writes emails like that?  So the redditors tear off into the word “pizza” and show fairly conclusively that it refers to pedophilia.  No wonder Haiti’s prime minister referred to sex trafficking in this video.

Folks, I have over 4 Gigabytes of emails in my inbox.  I don’t ever delete anything.  I’ve been exchanging email at work for 35 years.  I’ve never written anything like a “pizza related map on a handkerchief.”  Moreover, if I did, my manager would have me sent to for-cause drug testing to see if I was fit for duty.  Who writes things like this?  No one.  No one does, unless you’re trying to hide something.

The Clinton’s are at the epicenter of a Satanic cabal that sells influence for money, exchanges power for power, sells children, exploits the weakest among us, abuses people, sexually molests imprisoned children, engages in the occult, and wants a world without borders with no remaining vestiges of sovereignty or liberty.  God uses all sorts of things to judge the wicked, and Donald Trump may very well be that judgment upon His enemies, at least for the moment.  In the end they will suffer eternally.

This has been a long, hard road for me, and I don’t need any guff from readers about why it took me so long.  My world and life view constrains my conscience, and I am told to “take every thought captive” for Christ.  But in this case my conscience is clear.  Hillary Clinton cannot be president.  Or at least, I must do what I can to prevent that from happening, and prepare for the worst if it does.  To be sure, Hillary will be death to gun rights and other such liberties, but don’t see those liberties in a vacuum.  She will be death to them because of her consistent world view, one that destroys, hates and devours at the behest of the evil one.  Lucifer whispers in her ear.
