"And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (Exodus 20:1-3)
--Yᵊhōvâ 'Elōhîm
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. (Mark 19:30-31)

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? (Matthew 7:15-16)

Impostor syndrome, also known as impostor phenomenon or impostorism, is a psychological experience in which a person suffers from feelings of intellectual and/or professional fraudulence. One source defines it as "the subjective experience of perceived self-doubt in one's abilities and accomplishments compared with others, despite evidence to suggest the contrary". The phrase "fake people recognize fake people" highlights that individuals who engage in deceitful, performative, or manipulative behavior are often the quickest to spot those same traits in others due to their shared, cynical perspective. While often treated as a common adage, this sentiment is fundamentally about spotting hypocrisy and recognizing, as Faith on View notes, behavioral patterns like inconsistency, conditional loyalty, and insincerity. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Dallas recently warned of romance scams. FBI Dallas warned, "Romance scams involve a criminal using a fake identity to quickly gain your trust. Scammers then use the illusion of a romantic or other close relationship to eventually ask you for money."
Romance (n.) is c. 1300, romaunce, "a story, written or recited, in verse, telling of the adventures of a knight, hero, etc.," often one designed principally for entertainment, from Old French romanz "verse narrative" (Modern French roman), also "the vulgar language." It was originally an adverb, "in the vernacular language," from the Vulgar Latin verbal phrase *romanice scribere "to write in a Romance language" (one developed from Latin instead of Frankish), from Latin Romanicus "of or in the Roman style," from Romanus "Roman" (see Roman). The sense evolution is because medieval vernacular tales (as opposed to Latin texts) typically told chivalric adventures full of marvelous incidents and heroic deeds. "The spelling with -aunce, -ance was very early adopted in English, probably on the analogy of abstract sbs." [OED]. In reference to literary works, in Middle English often meaning ones written in French but also applied to native compositions. The literary sense was extended by 1660s to "a love story, the class of literature consisting of love stories and romantic fiction." The meaning "imaginative, adventurous quality" is recorded by 1801; that of "love affair" is by 1916. Romance novel is attested by 1820. Compare Romance (adj.).
If you love your loved ones or your neighbor--domestic or foreign, you must warn them that their romance of the Democratic Party puts their "salvation at risk". The entertainment of ideologies and public policies have set the "domination of political party" at odds with the "dominium of the Lurd". The concepts of slavery, Jim Crow, and reverse discrimination--social justice--indeed revolve around notions of domination and power dynamics in society. We were called to "dominion" not "domination". It is written, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (Genesis 1:26)" We are called to have "dominion" uver mankind and the Earth not "dominate" mankind and the Earth. "Dominion" is Blue Letter Bible Lexicon Strong's H7287 - rāḏâ meaning:
- to rule, have dominion, dominate, tread down
- (Qal) to have dominion, rule, subjugate
- (Hiphil) to cause to dominate
- to scrape out
- (Qal) to scrape, scrape out
But Ken, the Bible uses "dominate" in its meaning. Don't you feel stupid? Aren't you being hyperbolic and misleading?
In Christian theology, God gives humanity dominion (authority/rule) to dominate the earth, which means exercising stewardship over the fish, birds, cattle, and all creeping things. This mandate (Genesis 1:26-28) implies having mastery over nature, overcoming earthly obstacles, and reigning in life through faith. Through God's power, individuals are empowered to overcome fear, sin, sickness, and financial or emotional challenges. True dominion is often defined as reflecting divine intelligence, wisdom, and holiness—ruling with righteousness rather than mere force. Believers are meant to exercise spiritual dominion, using the "word of faith" to control situations and operate in victory. David M. Guion in "Domination or dominion: what is God’s purpose for man?" writes, "Some people harshly criticize God for allowing mankind to dominate the earth. Many are atheists. Whether atheist or not, many are feminists or animal rights activists." Guion continues, "As with Israel, so with all mankind. We have subdued the earth, but not as God intended. We have dominated the earth, but not exercised godly dominion.
What right do critics have to blame God for the outcome of rebellion against him they participate in as much as anyone else?
The kingdoms of Israel and Judah met a violent end for misuse of power. So will all mankind, but God also promises redemption for all who submit to his righteous dominion."
Pastors that subscribe to the antics of the Democrat Party mislead their congregations and act as false prophets. In the Bible, the punishment for false prophets is severe, historically requiring death under Old Testament law for leading people away from God or speaking falsely in His name (Deuteronomy 18:20, 13:5). New Testament, prophetic, and theological interpretations suggest divine judgment, destruction, and eternal punishment in a "lake of fire" or "hell". The penalty for following false prophets who promoted the worship of other gods or led people away from God was severe, often resulting in death. Deuteronomy 13 and 18 mandate capital punishment for both the false prophet and those who follow them, as it was viewed as rebellion against the Lord. Following false teachers leads to being "blind guides" falling into a pit, and they are described as leading people to spiritual destruction or being "lost". 2 Peter 2:1-3 warns that false prophets and those who follow their licentious ways will face swift destruction, corruption, and the deepest darkness. Discernment is profoundly important to God, functioning as an essential spiritual, life-saving, and maturity-building tool that allows believers to align their lives with divine will, distinguish truth from deception, and make decisions that reflect godly wisdom rather than self-interest. It is not merely an intellectual skill, but a gift to be cultivated to navigate life and honor God.
The Importance of Discernment in the Divine Perspective:
- Aligns with God's Will: Discernment is the mechanism for recognizing God's presence and activity in daily life, enabling individuals to align their actions with His purposes.
- Protection from Evil: It serves as a spiritual safeguard to distinguish truth from falsehood in a broken world, protecting believers from deception, bad relationships, and destructive paths.
- Sign of Maturity: Developing discernment indicates growth, shifting away from being "tossed to and fro" by trends and towards spiritual maturity.
- Reflects Godly Character: It involves thinking God's thoughts, evaluating situations to choose what is holy, righteous, and beneficial.
- Purposeful Living: True discernment is ultimately for the glory and praise of God, enabling believers to live out their purpose.
It saddens me that the Black community is corrupted by Black Ltves Matter but are not liberated by the Black Robe Regiment. Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a decentralized international activist movement founded in 2013 to campaign against systemic racism, anti-Black violence, and police brutality. It advocates for racial justice, equality, and the affirmation of Black humanity, specifically addressing the targeting of Black people in areas like criminal justice. The modern "Black Robe Regiment" is a loosely organized network of conservative, often far-right, American pastors and Christian nationalist activists who believe the U.S. government and culture should be directly influenced or controlled by fundamentalist Christian values. Inspired by a, some say, mythologized, version of 18th-century clergy who opposed British rule, modern members aim to bring political activism into the pulpit to fight what they view as a "spiritual battle" for the nation. Many will go before God expecting to hear ""Well done, good and faithful servant"" but will be shocked when they hear ""Depart from me, you workers of iniquity, I never knew you."" "Depart from me, you workers of iniquity, I never knew you" is a severe warning from Jesus in Matthew 7:21-23, specifically targeting individuals who outwardly profess faith—calling him "Lord" and performing miracles—but whose hearts are not aligned with God's will. This passage highlights that salvation is based on a personal relationship with Christ, not just public ministry or works.
Prominent modern Black pastors aligned with Democratic, progressive, or social justice causes include Senator Raphael Warnock of Ebenezer Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. William Barber II, known for the "Moral Mondays" movement and focusing on poverty, and others advocating for voting rights and civil rights within the Democratic party platform.
Rev. Raphael Warnock: As the senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta (Martin Luther King Jr.'s congregation) and a U.S. Senator, he is the most prominent figure merging modern pastoral leadership with Democratic politics.
Rev. Dr. William Barber II: Leader of the Poor People's Campaign and founder of the Center for Public Theology and Public Policy at Yale, he is a leading voice against Christian nationalism and for progressive economic policies.
Bishop Charles E. Blake: Presiding Bishop Emeritus of the Church of God in Christ (COGIC), he has long been involved in social justice and advocacy, often aligning with urban, progressive, and community-focused initiatives.
Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III: Pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, he is known for advocating for racial justice and community empowerment, often collaborating with progressive leaders.
Pastor Ira Acree: Based in Chicago, he is active in local community issues and has engaged with Democratic leaders regarding economic issues in urban, predominantly Black, and brown communities.
These leaders often focus on "moral theology," connecting faith to social justice. Senator Raphael Warnock is a staunch pro-choice advocate who frames his stance through a lens of faith, arguing that reproductive decisions should be made by patients and doctors, not the government. I argue that abortion is the termination of a human life, directly violating the rights of the fetus. This perspective often emphasizes that restrictions on abortion are necessary to protect the sanctity of life and that abortion can negatively impact the moral fabric of the family, sometimes viewing it as a form of "domination" or control over a vulnerable life. He supports codifying Roe v. Wade, protecting abortion access, and has introduced legislation to protect travel for reproductive care. Remember when you get to Heaven, remind Jesus that you were following the choir not the Pastor. There are several gospel, Christian rap, and reggae songs specifically addressing false prophets, focusing on themes of biblical truth, wolves in sheep's clothing, and discernment. Notable examples include modern releases from independent artists and reggae icon Lucky Dube.
Songs About False Prophets:
- "Beware Of The False Prophets" by Kieran The Light (2024): A Christian rap song focusing on preachers who focus on showmanship rather than saving souls.
- "False Prophet" by Amelia Day & Sydnee Conley (2025): A modern Christian song tackling the topic from a biblical perspective.
- "False Prophets" by Lucky Dube (Reggae): A well-known reggae track warning against deceptive spiritual leaders.
- "False Teachers" by Bryson Gray (2020): A Christian rap song criticizing false teachers and their influence.
- "False Prophets" by Chris Christ Child (2025): A Christian rap music video addressing the topic.
- "False Prophets" by Simplicity Praise: A contemporary Christian song available on streaming platforms.
Make certain that they sing any of these 1st and 3rd Sundays. I am waiting for any of these to be Cee Cee'd.
We must Ban Sharia Law because We are Constitutional and Called to Dominion not Dominiation. As of early 2026, federal lawmakers have introduced legislation to ban the application of Sharia law in the United States, including Washington, D.C. The proposed "No Sharia Act" and "Preserving a Sharia-Free America Act" seek to prohibit courts from enforcing Sharia-based, non-Constitutional legal standards and to prevent adherents to Sharia from entering the U.S.. Esteban Elizondo writes, "Congressman Randy Fine (FL-06) announced that Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) has introduced the Senate companion to Congressman Fine’s No Sharia Act, legislation prohibiting the application of Sharia law anywhere in the United States. Congressman Keith Self (TX-03), is co-leading the bill on the House side with Congressman Fine.
Originally introduced in the House, the bill continues to gain momentum as conservatives rally behind the need to protect America’s legal system and uphold the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. Many Americans fear unconstitutional infringement by mainstream Muslims who wish to impose sharia in America.
"Sharia Law is fundamentally anti-American and has no place in our country,” said Senator Tuberville. “If you want to peacefully practice your religion, you have every right to do so under the Constitution. But if you want to come to the United States and advocate for the practice of Sharia Law over U.S. law, you should not be here. We do not want people who chant ‘death to America’ residing in our communities and endangering our families. We must protect American values, not apologize for them. I applaud my House colleagues for joining me in this effort to preserve our Constitutional and God-given rights.""
Sharia law is the religious, moral, and legal code of Islam, derived from the Quran and Hadith (sayings/actions of Prophet Muhammad). Meaning "the way" in Arabic, it serves as a comprehensive guide for daily life, covering personal worship, business transactions, family law, and criminal justice. It is not a single, static legal code, but rather a body of interpretation. Sharia law is criticized for interpreted rigidity, potential human rights conflicts, and, in some implementations, promoting gender inequality. Key concerns include harsh corporal punishments (stoning, amputation), restrictions on women’s rights, limited freedom of speech/religion, and incompatibility with democratic, secular legal systems. Traditional interpretations include penalties considered barbaric by modern standards, such as lashing, amputation for theft, or stoning for adultery. Sharia may restrict individual freedoms regarding lifestyle, social behaviors, and freedom of conscience, often punishing apostasy or blasphemy. Nour Ghantous in "3 Countries where Sharia law is hardest on women" writes, "From restrictions on education and employment to denying fundamental human rights, these countries present a stark reality for millions of women.
Islamic principles govern the legal system in countries where Sharia law holds sway. While it dictates various aspects of life, including personal conduct, family matters, criminal law and economic transactions, its implementation disproportionately impacts women's rights and freedoms in several countries." Ghantous makes note that Saudia Arabia, Iran and Afghanistan are harsh on women regarding education, personal freedom and employment. Center for Renewing America in "Policy Brief: The Threat of Radical Islam and Sharia Law" state, "The rise of Sharia in the United States is merely the latest chapter in an ongoing story of spiritual, ideological, and political conflict. Radical Islam and its adherents have long been a threat to the United States and the foundational tenets of Western civilization. Since its earliest days, America has fought against Islamists—in particular the Barbary pirates of North Africa, who are mentioned in the opening lines of the Marines’ Hymn. While the United States fought the Barbary Wars primarily to keep trade lanes open, a letter from envoys and future presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson revealed that the Barbary nations had a very different motivation." Personnally, I believe that Islam is a false religion. It rejects core tenets like the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, and the crucifixion. Political Islam, or Islamism, is a diverse set of ideologies holding that Islam should guide social, political, and personal life, often advocating for governance based on Sharia law. It views Islam as a comprehensive system superior to secular ideologies like capitalism or democracy, aiming to create Islamic states, though approaches range from reformist to extremist. The Democrat Party is a false religion. The party's secularist or progressive values resemble a form of "woke pagan political ideology" that is antagonistic to traditional religious values.
“Since the objective of the message of Islam is a decisive declaration of man’s freedom, not merely on the philosophical plane but also in the actual conditions of life, it must employ Jihaad,” said Seyyid Qutb. Jihad is an Arabic term meaning "struggle" or "striving," referring to the effort to act in accordance with God's will, which can include personal, moral, or collective efforts. While often translated as "holy war", it encompasses both an internal, spiritual struggle against evil ("greater jihad") and an external, physical struggle or defense of faith ("lesser jihad"). Karl Marx viewed the "democratic party" of his time (19th-century bourgeois democrats) as potential, yet unreliable, allies in the struggle against absolute monarchy, warning that they often betrayed working-class interests to secure power. Marxists distinguish their fight for a "democratic republic" (the working class in power) from bourgeois democracy, which they see as maintaining capitalist class rule. The relationship between the Democratic Party and American Muslims is complex, characterized by a long-term political alliance based on shared opposition to discrimination, which has faced recent strain over policy disagreements. Whether Democrats feel they share the same "struggle" as Muslims often depends on which aspect of that struggle is being discussed (civil rights vs. foreign policy or social issues). The Two align behind a "struggle". Their response to the "struggle" dominates and crushes.
Data on American Muslim views toward Sharia indicates that a majority do not support establishing it as the law of the land in the U.S. While some polls indicate a significant portion may view Sharia as a personal code of conduct rather than a replacement for civil law, studies show a strong preference among American Muslims for adopting U.S. social values over, or in conjunction with, religious law. Based on available polling data from the Pew Research Center, there is no evidence suggesting that any significant percentage of US Democrats support the implementation of Sharia law. While 26% of Democrats in a 2017 study expressed concerns about extremism, the data focuses on broader, often partisan, views regarding Islam and discrimination rather than support for Sharia. Democrats generally oppose bans on foreign law as discriminatory, arguing such measures violate the First Amendment's protections for religious freedom and free speech. U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) in "Rep. Omar Remarks on Islamophobia" states, ""The truth is that Islamophobia pervades our culture, our politics and even policy decisions. Cable news hosts and leading politicians in the Republican Party routinely spout hateful rhetoric about a religion that includes a diverse group more than a billion peaceful worshippers worldwide. This includes falsely claiming Muslims want to replace the constitution and implement "sharia law," portraying Muslims as inherently violent, suggesting that Muslim women are all oppressed, or that Muslims hate other religions." But Google AI wants you to know, "Rep. Ilhan Omar has not advocated for, nor implemented, Sharia law in the United States, and she has publicly rejected accusations that she seeks to replace the U.S. Constitution with it. She considers such allegations to be, as she notes in this House.gov press release, "manufactured" and rooted in Islamophobia." So if you oppose Sharia Law then, you and I are Islamaplobic. I suppose Somali fraud then, we are Islamaphobic. "So let it be written; so let it be done"! I am Islamaphobic and support a Sharia Law Ban.
Ken, we don't need a Ban because we have the Constitution and Sharia Law doesn't exist in the U.S.!
Sharia law is not the law of the land in the United States, as the U.S. Constitution remains the supreme legal authority. While some Muslims voluntarily observe Sharia principles in private life, such as in finance or dietary habits, there is no state-sanctioned Sharia legal system. Legislative efforts, such as the "No Sharia Act," have been proposed to prevent U.S. courts from enforcing foreign laws that violate Constitutional rights. Religious, private arbitration—including Islamic law—can be used in limited, voluntary civil matters, it cannot override constitutional rights or U.S. law. Evidence regarding the impact of Sharia law on countries suggests a complex, often contested, picture where the implementation of strict, "extremist" interpretations of Sharia—often associated with militant groups—has been linked to severe societal, economic, and human rights crises. However, the application of Sharia is diverse, and experts often differentiate between traditional Islamic legal principles and the harsh, often arbitrary, rules imposed by extremist regimes. No, in a voluntary system, not everyone volunteers. Voluntary systems, such as non-profit sectors or community initiatives, are based on free will, meaning participation is optional rather than required. Research shows only about 23-25% of Americans engage in formal volunteering, with common barriers including lack of time, inflexible schedules, or ill health. The U.S. Constitution is deeply rooted in the philosophical principles of individual liberty, moral agency, and popular sovereignty. It was designed to protect the rights of individuals to make their own choices—free from government coercion—within a framework of ordered liberty. So why corrupt individual free will rights with a insecure voluntary system that puts the individual and his rights in great risk? The Center for Renewing America write, "The large number of Muslims who want Sharia law indicates firm support and sympathy for Islamism’s political end, which is effectively the establishment of an Islamic theocracy. It is essential to note that some of the specific provisions in Sharia law that would be applied to everyone under Islamic law include the following:
- Honor killings and stoning to death as punishment for adultery
- Death as punishment for leaving Islam and converting to another religion
- Polygamy as an acceptable practice
- Corporal punishments, including stoning, lashing, and amputation of limbs, for certain crimes, such as theft, blasphemy, and adultery
In a constitutional republic founded on principles such as religious liberty and the rule of law built on a Judeo-Christian framework, there is simply no place for Sharia law, which explicitly aims to replace all forms of government, politics, economics, law, and human social interactions with strict precepts derived straight from the Quran and hadiths. Sharia law is not only incompatible with Western forms of government but explicitly at war with them."
The Nation, Texas. Washington, DC, we need to ban Sharia Law before the voluntary becomes involuntary. Now!
Washingtin. DC is filled with pagan cults that seek to dominate the Nation while through the Constitution we seek to have dominion over it. Catherine B. Abbott in "Communism, Marxism, and Socialism: Radical Politics and Jim Jones" writes, "Although in many ways outwardly similar to a traditional Pentecostal church, Peoples Temple from the start contained radical political elements. Reverend Jim Jones, a loyal supporter of Marxism, communism, and socialism, used Peoples Temple as a cover to promote his radical agenda, claiming during Peoples Temple’s later years to have infiltrated the church with his unorthodox beliefs. These radical ideas formed before Jones established Peoples Temple and persisted until the very last day of its existence, moving closer to the forefront with each passing year. Jones’ sermons began with communalist and socialist ideas with occasional mention of Karl Marx’s ideas. After migrating to California, the Temple became more active politically as Jones spoke out against capitalism and began to push a more radical agenda. By the time the group migrated to Jonestown, Jones actively pursued his socialist dream, establishing a commune in the jungles of Guyana. Jones implored his followers to commit to his radical plans as well through participation in socialist classes and community meetings in Jonestown. On November 18th, 1978, the day of the mass murder-suicides in Jonestown, Jones proclaimed that the act was to protest capitalism, fascism, and other perceived evils in the United States." Seth Barron in "Jim Jones, Made in San Francisco" writes of the "the deep ties between the depraved cult leader and prominent Democratic politicians." Barron writes, "Among his advocates was Harvey Milk, also a newcomer to San Francisco. Milk, formerly a Goldwater Republican, became politically radical in California and repeatedly sought election to office as an outsider to the political machine. Milk attended services at Peoples Temple dozens of times, and wrote effusive letters to Jones. “Such greatness I have found in Jim Jones’s Peoples Temple,” Milk proclaimed. Milk wasn’t Jones’s only fan. Many powerful people—Governor Jerry Brown, columnist Herb Caen, and Vice President Walter Mondale, to name a few—sought Jones’s blessings and expressed admiration for his dedication to racial equality and a better world. Flynn does a good job of laying out the social and political landscape of the Bay Area in the late seventies and situating the bizarre respect that the Jones cult received within the general fruitiness of the era. Jim Jones’s Bay Area was the same milieu that gave rise to the Zodiac killer, the lost-in-time Zebra murders, and the depredations of the Symbionese Liberation Army. In that context, a wacky preacher who healed the sick and ran drug-treatment centers while promising a racially unified heaven on earth seemed like a salutary influence by comparison."
Barron writes, "At the same time, Jim Jones’s connection to mainstream Democratic politics has been suppressed. He and the Peoples Temple, which exalted racial diversity and social justice, have been cast as harrowing examples of Christian religious extremism, though Jones preached atheism and ordered his followers to use the Bible as toilet paper. A roster of leaders who remain dominant figures in California politics today embraced Jones publically. Jerry Brown, then and now governor of the state, approvingly visited the Peoples Temple, and Senator Dianne Feinstein, who ascended to the mayoralty upon Moscone’s assassination, joined the Board of Supervisors in honoring Jones. Willie Brown, longtime speaker of the California state assembly, a mayor of San Francisco, and the mentor of Senator Kamala Harris, was especially lavish in his praise of Jones, calling him “a combination of Martin Luther King, Jr., Angela Davis, Albert Einstein, and Chairman Mao.”" Jim Jones (1931–1978) was an American cult leader who founded the Peoples Temple and orchestrated the November 18, 1978, mass murder-suicide of over 900 followers in Jonestown, Guyana. Originally a preacher, he established a socialist-oriented group, which later became a destructive cult. His actions led to the phrase "drinking the Kool-Aid". King Jr. was a democratic socialist who advocated for radical wealth redistribution, a guaranteed income, and labor rights, often criticizing both capitalism and Marxism. While he believed capitalism had "out-lived its usefulness," he rejected Marxism’s atheism and violent, materialistic methods, embracing instead a Christian, nonviolent, and socialist approach to economic justice. Domination over Dominion.
As there was Red "Make America Great Again" MAGA, there is Blue MAGA as written by Mehdi Hasan in "Blue Maga: we need to talk about the cult-like turn of the Democratic party'. Hasan writes, "Writing for the Guardian, 15 years ago, the cult expert Rick Ross warned us to “watch out for the tell-tale signs” of a cult, including “no tolerance for questions or critical inquiry”, “there is no legitimate reason to leave”, “former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil”, and “the group/leader is always right”.
Anyone who has observed the behaviour of the Democratic party base, especially online; of elected Democrats on Capitol Hill; and of the Democratic president himself, since the CNN debate on 27 June, will have spotted some of those “tell-tale signs”."
APCO is a global advisory and advocacy firm and is an independent, majority women-owned firm. Julian Epstein is a Senior Counselor and as a Democrat strategist has over 15 years of Capitol Hill experience to APCO, serving as the former chief counsel for the House Judiciary Committee, and previously, as chief of staff for the House Government Reform Committee. Epstein made comments about the Democrat Party's "cult-like" nature in following the fervent radicalism of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over the stoic, resoluteness of Senator Charles Ellis Schumer. On 80/20 issues the radicals choosing 20% and the stoics choosing the 80% but the stoics are in the Party's minority. In political strategy, the "80/20 rule" involves focusing on issues with 80% public consensus to build broad support, while navigating the remaining 20% of divisive topics. This approach, often used by President Donald Trump to attract supporters, targets widely favored policies to build a stronger, more united base. Additionally, in government oversight, this rule suggests dedicating 80% of efforts to planned, routine tasks, leaving 20% for urgent or emerging issues.
Cults of Personality often reveals the promince and strength of the cult. A cult of personality, or a cult of the leader, is the result of an effort to create an idealized and heroic image of an admirable leader, often through unquestioning flattery and praise. Julia Mueller and Amie Parnes in "Ocasio-Cortez’s political clout grows after recent progressive wins" writes, "Ocasio-Cortez, who has amassed large crowds alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for their “Fighting Oligarchy” rallies around the country, had already scored a high-profile victory last year when she endorsed Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral race. Now, Democratic calls are growing for her to challenge Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) or possibly run for president in 2028, underscoring the degree to which she’s helping shape the party.
“I think her influence is growing and it’s because she is intentionally following a very smart path of slowly and steadily building her inside game support to match her outside public support,” said Democratic strategist Eddie Vale.
“There is a tendency to broadly lump everyone ‘on the left’ together, but while there are some folks who are more interested in throwing bombs or getting clicks, she is very carefully and skillfully building her political base and power.”"
Historical and Political Examples
- North Korea (Kim Dynasty): The Kim family (Il-sung, Jong-il, Jong-un) is presented as godlike, with state-sanctioned media crediting them with miraculous feats.
- Joseph Stalin (USSR): Promoted through state-controlled propaganda as a benevolent, all-knowing leader.
- Mao Zedong (China): Cultivated intense personal adoration, especially during the Cultural Revolution.
- Adolf Hitler (Germany): Utilized mass spectacles and propaganda to build a Führer-cult.
- Benito Mussolini (Italy): Regarded as the originator of the modern dictator-as-cult-figure model.
- Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier (Haiti): Leveraged voodoo imagery and a secret police force to create a godlike image.
- Juan Perón (Argentina): Built a massive following based on his image as a champion of the working class.
What do all these have in common? Karl Marx. Marxism is a 19th-century socioeconomic and political theory developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels that analyzes class struggle and advocates for a worker-led revolution to replace capitalism with communism. It posits that economic forces (materialism) drive historical change, where the ruling class (bourgeoisie) exploits the working class (proletariat), ultimately leading to a stateless, classless society. Critics have compared Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (AOC) critiques of capitalism to Marxist ideology, particularly her assertion that "capitalism is irredeemable" and her focus on systemic exploitation, reminiscent of Karl Marx's critique of the oppressor-oppressed dynamic. However, AOC identifies as a democratic socialist, a tradition broader than Marxism, often focusing on reforming rather than abolishing market systems. Ocasio-Cortez has also stated that she does not believe capitalism is a "redeemable system". AOC once said, "Workers are often paid far less than the value they create." Analysts noted that this statement is essentially a restatement of Karl Marx's Labour Theory of Value, which argues that capitalism thrives by paying workers less than the full value of their labor. Marx did not write extensively on witchcraft or specific cults, focusing instead on the systemic critique of capitalism and religion as the "opium of the people." Marxist-feminist analysis, often drawing from Marxist principles, interprets early modern witchcraft not as satanism, but as a form of resistance against the transition from feudalism to capitalism. Marx viewed religion (including cult-like behaviors) as a "sigh of the oppressed creature" and a mechanism for suppressing revolutionary action by offering false solace. The persecution of witches is seen as a tool used during the rise of capitalism to control women's bodies, labor, and knowledge, which was essential for a system based on labor exploitation. Marxist anthropologists, such as Worsley, have interpreted "cargo cults" as early forms of nationalist resistance to colonial capitalism.
Cults often use specific techniques to exert control over their members, creating a dynamic that can resemble elements found in witchcraft or magical practices. Understanding this relationship requires looking at several key aspects.
Characteristics of Cults
- Charismatic Leadership: Cults usually revolve around a strong leader who claims special knowledge or powers, often creating a sense of dependence among followers.
- Isolation: Members may be isolated from outside influences, including family and friends. This reinforces loyalty and prevents questioning of the group's beliefs.
- Manipulation and Coercion: Emotional manipulation, peer pressure, and threats can maintain control, leading members to believe they have no alternative paths.

Marxism has significantly influenced filmmaking for over a century, impacting cinematic theory, aesthetics, and political themes such as class struggle, revolt, and exploitation. While Hollywood is often seen as a bastion of capitalism, Marxist thought has permeated film through critiques of industry, the "Screen theory" analyzing how films construct subjectivities, and works from directors like Sergei Eisenstein. Filmmaking, music, arts, and theatre constitute an interconnected ecosystem where each discipline profoundly influences the others to enhance storytelling, evoke emotion, and create immersive cultural experiences. This symbiotic relationship spans from the earliest days of cinema, which relied on live music and theatrical techniques, to modern, multi-sensory productions that blend digital technology with traditional artistic forms. Filmmaking, music, arts, and theatre are fundamental forces that shape, reflect, and evolve our culture and our cultural institutions, acting as mirrors to societal values while also driving social change and defining collective identities. These creative mediums influence culture by fostering empathy, preserving history, and promoting diverse narratives that challenge, educate, and connect people across generations. Empathy is considered an essential, biblically rooted, and active component of Christian life, calling believers to share in others' emotions, "weep with those who weep," and show compassionate love. While some conservative perspectives caution against "toxic empathy" that validates sin, many argue that true, Christ-like empathy drives action, fosters reconciliation, and is central to fulfilling the commandment to love one's neighbor. The corruption of empathy has lain waste to law and order in our country. It has given mankind a false sense of virtue and appeasement to the Radical Left. This is the scripting that invaded the Republican Party and forged the "uniparty".
The term "uniparty" is a political concept—often used as a pejorative by populists and critics of the establishment—referring to the idea that the Republican and Democratic parties in the United States, despite public conflict, behave as a single entity with shared interests, particularly in areas like foreign policy, government spending, and corporate regulation.
It is not a literal, created entity but rather a descriptive term for a phenomenon, often attributed to the following factors and developments:
- Ideological Convergence & Bipartisanship: Critics argue that on core issues like foreign intervention, intelligence gathering, trade policies, and economic bailouts, the two parties often align, reducing genuine political alternatives.
- The "Washington Swamp" / Establishment Consensus: The concept posits that a permanent political class, consultants, and lobbyists (the "deep state" or "establishment") manage the government, leading to bipartisan consensus that disregards the concerns of average citizens.
- Campaign Finance & Corporate Interests: Critics often describe the "uniparty" as a "corporate uniparty," arguing that both parties are beholden to the same financial donors and corporate interests, causing them to pass similar,, non-competitive legislation.
- Shifting Political Alliances: Historically, from the 1970s onwards, the two parties became more ideologically distinct (polarized), yet some observers believe this increased polarization is "political theater" that masks behind-the-scenes cooperation on foundational power issues.
- Elite Disagreement with Populism: The term saw a major resurgence in the 2010s to describe how the Republican "establishment" was perceived to be working with Democrats to oppose populist movements, such as Donald Trump’s campaigns.
The Democratic Party functions as a "cult" is a viewpoint primarily expressed by some conservative commentators, former members, and critics, particularly in the context of intense political polarization. This characterization is not a mainstream consensus but rather a charged political argument used to describe what critics perceive as unquestioning loyalty to party ideology, "woke" politics, or specific leaders.
Technique Description
Thought Reform Gradual change in beliefs through psychological pressure and manipulation.
Fear Tactics Instilling fear of external forces or consequences for leaving the group.
Emotional Dependency Creating a scenario where members rely on the group for emotional fulfillment or validation.
Shaming and Guilt Using social pressure and guilt to enforce adherence to group norms and practices.
Dominion or Domination? Cults are social groups which have unusual, and often extreme, religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs and rituals. Extreme devotion to a particular person, object, or goal is another characteristic often ascribed to cults. Based on recent political culture and merchandise trends, the primary modern-day talisman for a large segment of the Republican party, particularly within the MAGA movement, is Trump himself, often represented by the red "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) hat. A talisman is any object ascribed with religious or magical powers intended to protect, heal, or harm individuals for whom they are made. While the majority of Union soldiers supported the Republican (or "National Union") party during the Civil War, many soldiers who were Democrats before the war remained Democrats, and some even became prominent post-war Democratic politicians. Talismans are often portable objects carried on someone in a variety of ways, but can also be installed permanently in architecture. Talismans are closely linked with amulets, fulfilling many of the same roles, but a key difference is in their functions. An amulet protects a person or possession against evil forces while a talisman provides good fortune. I believe Trump an amulet against the dark forces of the Democrat Party.
Confederate-related witchcraft often explores the intersection of Civil War desperation with supernatural, occult themes. While historical evidence of widespread, organized witchcraft in the Confederacy is absent, some accounts suggest folk traditions, such as "witch bottles," were used during the Civil War to protect against perceived threats. The Democrats are still fighting the Civil War. seeking to dominate the Nation and the World. Domination and control are the goals of this power-hungry coltists. War Democrat, in the history of the United States, any of the Northern Democrats who supported the continued prosecution of the American Civil War. The great majority of Northern Democrats stayed loyal to the Union after the South seceded. So-called Peace Democrats (or “Copperheads” in pejorative Unionist terminology) opposed the war and advocated a negotiated peace with concessions to the South so that it would rejoin the Union. War Democrats, while supporting the war, objected to Republican economic policies and to President Abraham Lincoln’s abrogation of civil rights. During the 1864 presidential election, they joined with Republicans in forming the Union Party, which renominated Lincoln for president and selected War Democrat Andrew Johnson of Tennessee as Lincoln’s running mate. Peace Democrats formulated a platform calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities, a position that the party’s presidential nominee, General George B. McClellan, repudiated. Cease fire and keep the reason for the War--Slavery--going! The "uni-party" choose a liberator to run with an enslaver. Johnson was a lifelong Democrat, a slave owner and a white supremacist, who consistently advocated for the protection and expansion of slavery until the Civil War forced a political shift. Johnson, who rose from poverty to become a wealthy man, owned enslaved people throughout his life, at one point owning as many as ten, and later acquiring more as a sign of his increased social status. He often described himself as a "slave" to his enslaved people, and some of them, like Sam and Florence Johnson, remained with him as paid servants in the White House after emancipation. Johnson held deeply racist views, believing the "black race of Africa [is] inferior to the white man in point of intellect". He often made clear his primary concern was for the welfare of white people and wanted a "white man's government". He argued that the Declaration of Independence's phrase "all men are created equal" did not apply to African Americans. Johnson was a strong proponent of states' rights and believed the U.S. Constitution guaranteed the right to own slaves. He supported the Compromise of 1850, the Fugitive Slave Law, and the Kansas-Nebraska Act—all measures that appeased the pro-slavery South. John Wilkes Booth, a famous actor and Confederate sympathizer, assassinated U.S. President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865, at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C.. Booth shot Lincoln in the head to aid the South and combat the abolition of slavery, dying himself 12 days later. Booth supported the Southern Democratic opposition to Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War.
Lincoln's dead and a Southern Democrat is President. Surprise, Surprise! The Abraham Lincoln Research site submits numerous theories. One such theory is that Johnson was involved with Booth. The site says, "Some members of Congress also thought Johnson was involved and a special Assassination Committee was established to investigate any evidence linking Johnson to Lincoln's death. Nothing suspicious was ever found by the committee; yet a belief by some Americans that Johnson was somehow involved with Booth continued for many years.
In the book A Threat to the Republic: The Secret of the Lincoln Assassination that Preserved the Union author Jerry Madonna argues that Johnson unwittingly gave assistance to Booth's escape from Washington." Mary Todd, Lincoln's wife, felt the same. Ms. Todd wrote, "...that, that miserable inebriate Johnson, had cognizance of my husband's death - Why, was that card of Booth's, found in his box, some acquaintance certainly existed - I have been deeply impressed, with the harrowing thought, that he, had an understanding with the conspirators & they knew their man... As sure, as you & I live, Johnson, had some hand, in all this..." She wrote that to to her friend, Sally Orne, in a letter dated March 15, 1866. "There are no conspiracies, but there are no coincidences" is a catchphrase frequently used by Steve Bannon on his War Room podcast to imply that events are orchestrated, rather than random. I must remind you that we are fighting a Spiritual battle.
Some individuals who identify as witches use their identity in political activism, often in support of progressive causes and the Democratic Party. Movements like #WitchTheVote emerged to encourage people in the witchcraft and pagan communities to engage in political action and vote for "witch-worthy" progressive candidates. Some self-proclaimed witches have attempted to cast spells related to political outcomes, such as those aimed at hindering Donald Trump's political prospects. Some Democratic politicians have introduced resolutions to exonerate individuals convicted of witchcraft centuries ago, framing these efforts as relevant to modern-day civil rights and justice issues. "Witchcraft" originates from the Old English word wiccecræft, a compound of wicce ("witch," "female magician") and cræft ("power," "skill," or "craft"). The term first appeared before 950 C.E. and literally refers to the "craft" or skilled practice of a witch. It is deeply rooted in Germanic language traditions. The most common meaning of "witchcraft" worldwide is the use of harmful magic. Most societies have feared an ability by some individuals to cause supernatural harm and misfortune to others. This may come from mankind's tendency "to want to assign occurrences of remarkable good or bad luck to agency, either human or superhuman". Ask Angela Davis if she approves of violence. She and the Democrats do. We are facing a work that requires a Spiritual response. Dominion or Domination?
Dominiom or Dominatuion? The Founding Fathers designed a Constitution for a people seekimg Dominion to a Nation and the World. Dommion was and is not Domination. Like a woman well-fitted in dress, Dominion only fits the Constitution. The Founding Fathers envisioned a nation grounded in principles of liberty, justice, and popular sovereignty. The In Search of Liberty site speaks to American Exceptionalism, "Our Founding Fathers risked everything they had to create a new nation, the United States of America, and that attribute that has come to be known as American Exceptionalism. Had the American Revolution failed, each of them would have faced execution – and the loss of all their property, which would have condemned their wives and children to a life of poverty. It was a remarkable gamble, because most of the Founding Fathers were already wealthy, successful men. They didn’t rebel against England for personal enrichment; they rebelled because they truly believed that the loss of freedom was worse than death." Benjamin Franklin said, "Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature." On liberty, Patrick Henry said, "I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" On justice, Thomas Jefferson said, "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep forever: that, considering numbers, nature, and natural means only, a revolution of the wheel of fortune, an exchange of situation, is among possible events: that it may become probable by supernatural interference! The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in such a contest." On popular sovereignty, Alexander Hamilton in a Speach to Congress said, “It has been observed by an honorable gentleman, that a pure democracy, if it were practicable, would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved, that no position in politics is more false than this. The ancient democracies, in which the people themselves deliberated, never possessed one feature of good government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity." The Founding Fathers understood that Utopia in Politics was not possible. The Marxists by witchcraft and domination believe it so, The Founding Fathers understood by experience that such a pursuit was delusional. Delusion is built on lies. Delusion is fundamentally structured on false beliefs, acting as an extreme, pathological form of self-deception that persists despite contradictory evidence. It involves constructing a distorted reality, often to protect the ego, manage emotional pain, or maintain a desired narrative. Remember, Satan is the Father of Lies.
"Onward, Christian Soldiers" is a 19th-century English hymn. The lyric was written as a processional hymn for children. The song has been associated with protest against the established order, particularly in the case of the civil rights movement.
Dominioner or Dominator? What shall we be? We must make our Elections sure! Based on 2 Peter 1:5-10, making one's calling and election sure requires great diligence in cultivating Christian virtues—faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love—to confirm one's salvation, rather than relying on a mere assumption of it. It involves active, consistent spiritual growth, self-examination, and bringing forth the fruits of a converted life. Our Nation's Salvation is not done by the hands of men but by the finger of God. We must diligently fight that which is evil and follow Christ. Samuel Adams, Founding Father and former Governor of Massachussetts, spoke, "I . . . [rely] upon the merits of Jesus Christ for a pardon of all my sins.
- Collective Freedom: Marxism advocates for a type of freedom that is tied to collective ownership of resources. It posits that true freedom can only be achieved when class distinctions and economic exploitation are abolished.
- Economic Freedom: Marxists argue that capitalism limits freedom by creating alienation and inequality. They seek to liberate individuals from economic oppression to achieve genuine autonomy.
- Dictatorship of the Proletariat: Marx envisioned a transitional phase after a revolution where the working class (proletariat) would govern to dismantle capitalist structures. This governance is meant to be a temporary measure to achieve communism.
- Workers' Councils: Post-revolution, Marxists envision governance through councils (soviets), where workers have direct control over political and economic decisions, promoting a form of self-governance.
Marxist arguments undermine individual rights and personal freedoms. In practice, Marxist-inspired states have generally resulted in authoritarian regimes that restricted personal liberties, leading to debates about the tensions between Marxism's ideals and its implementations.
Zohran Mamdani's, the Mayor of New York City as of Jan 2026, views align with left-wing critiques of capitalism, often advocating for wealth redistribution, public ownership of key services, and dismantling the capitalist mode of production. His rhetoric emphasizes class struggle, collective action, and strengthening the working class.
Key Quotes and Positions on Socialism/Marxism
- On Capitalism: "The solution to the 'unfair distribution' of wealth and resources under capitalism is not to argue for 'fair distribution' while retaining the capitalist mode of production that generates that 'unfair distribution,' but to argue for the abolition of the capitalist mode of production in the very first place".
- On Public Ownership: "I am not [a communist]. When we talk about my politics, I call myself a democratic socialist in many ways inspired by the words of Dr. King from decades ago who said, 'Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism. There has to be a better distribution of wealth for all of God's children in this country'".
Marxism posits that wealth inequality is inherent to capitalism, driven by the bourgeoisie (owners) exploiting the proletariat (workers) by appropriating surplus value. It advocates for common ownership of the means of production to create an equitable distribution based on the principle, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs".
- On Class Struggle: "The working class can only succeed in this fight if we are conscious that a fundamental divide exists between the classes, and that we constitute a class of our own, with our own interests irreconcilably opposed to those of the capitalists".
- On Policy and Ideology: In his 2026 inaugural address, he stated, "I was elected as a democratic socialist, and I will govern as a democratic socialist... I will not abandon my principles for fear of being deemed radical".
- On Governance: He referenced the South African Freedom Charter, saying New York “belongs to all who live in it,” while quoting, “we will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about”.
- On Strategy: "It is critical for us to both meet people where they're at and to also organize and organize for what is correct and for what is right".
Former New York City mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa noted, "Mamdani still defends taxing “white” neighborhoods more…as if your skin color decides your worth. That’s racist, plain and simple. Wealth doesn’t mean white, and struggle doesn’t mean anything less. Cuomo stayed silent on this hate, but I won’t. We’re building a city for everyone — not dividing it by race. Stand with me and stop this radical nonsense. Let’s win this." Even yelling from the highest mountain, he did not "win this".
Today, I ask you, "Whom will you elect? The Dominioner or the Dominator? As for me and my House, we will choose the Dominioner! For those that choose the Dominator,
The Three Core Stages of Salvation
- Justification (Past/Initiation): A "judicial" act where God declares a guilty sinner righteous through faith in Jesus Christ, instantly saving them from sin's penalty.
- Sanctification (Present/Process): A lifelong process where the believer is transformed by the Holy Spirit to become more like Christ, overcoming the power of sin in daily life.
- Glorification (Future/Completion): The final stage when believers receive resurrected bodies and are perfected in heaven, free from the presence of sin forever.
If you know someone that has chosen the "Dominator", its your job to preach the Gospel to them and their responsibility to accept and follow. Jesus said, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few." Jesus’ primary statement regarding the harvest, found in Matthew 9:37-38 and Luke 10:2, is, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few". He urged his disciples to pray for the Lord to send out laborers into His field, highlighting the urgent need for messengers to share the Gospel with receptive people.
Choose this day, whom you will serve.
