Apocalyptic cults provide a window on some amazing complex group dynamics. First, of course is the "apocalyptic" part. This is what they are best known for -- the world is going to end next Tuesday or the aliens will be arriving the first of the month to take the chosen to space heaven, or a hundred other crazed ideas. The cults preach that the only way to “escape this impending doom is by joining the group, adhering to its leader's teachings, and following its prescribed rituals.” For the Democrat party, the most recent apocalyptic tale is of course the horrors of climate change.

Comments:

The author coins apocalyptic cult to describe the state of the Democrats. Good reading.

How can they get away with still calling themselves Americans? Newsmax is one of the few outlets with enough brass to call them what they are.

Maybe, but a simpler explanation is that Satan is firmly in control of today's Democrat Party. You'll never convince me otherwise. There can be no other explanation for the evil we're seeing.

And yet - - and yet - - every "civilized" European nation has completely swallowed this chump bait. The apocalyptic cult is the official political position of nearly every European nation. Go figure.

I disagree with the author. There may be some cult similarities but in large the Democrats want dictatorial power to rule over the country.

Nowhere in the article is it said that Satan isn't involved. The author merely and brilliantly explains how the apocalyptic cult operates. Is the apocalyptic cult Satanic? Without doubt. Further, in this case, it hasn't yet failed because the leftist media are members of the cult.

And, like most other apocalyptic cults, the dems also require its followers to have sex with its leaders...like Bill Clinton, John Podesta, B.Obama, Jeffrey Epstein, etc.

"Pesky facts that don’t conform to their thinking are simply ignored." Which is why talking to the Left is a waste of time. They have no grounding in reality. The truth is what they say it is, ... for today. Tomorrow, they can say it's the opposite and they are good with that. What they want is to overcome their opposition in any way possible. If they have to change their position to attack you, that's OK. If you point out that what YOU are doing conforms with what they want, they will shift positions again, just so they can attack you. And their pet media watches them flip flop all over the place and doesn't say a word. And on top of all this is their anger. Trying to discuss anything with them just makes them mad because you refuse to simply capitulate to their point of view. Of course they then claim that you "hate them" because you won't do what they want. It's all quite crazy and there is no point in talking to crazy people. "The demise of every single apocalyptic cult is built into the very fabric of the cult itself." Let's hope this demise happens to the dems sooner, rather than later. Of course that doesn't mean the nuttiness goes away, even though they might lack a national voice.

I always remember how cults are portrayed by H P Lovecraft: Homicidal, suicidal, and destructive. They are destroyers. Political activists and politicians say violence is justified. Cultists will say the same thing. They believe the death and destruction of others somehow gives them power. When cultists see a government parroting what they believe, they ask 'how can we be part of this'. Cultists will see death on a massive scale. Think Nazi Germany. There was rumor that Nazi Germany was influenced by cults.

“Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee.” That short prayer from Augustine sums it up well. When the Dems deny any existence of God and actively fight against him, He leaves them to their own evil ways (See Romans 1) First and foremost,. they make gods of themselves; gods which promise nothing after this life and no hope for them to look forward to.

This would make Bernie Sanders, Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, AOC, Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsome, Gov Pritzker, Hakeem Jefferies, and many other leading Democrats the modern day equivalent of Charles Manson, Jim Jones, and David Koresh (to name a few). I'm sure this make the Democrats proud.

However, the flames that erupted from the hourly garage led to significant damage, including collapses on the second and third floors that have made the structure unsafe, according to airport officials.

Apparently, nobody’s watching the watchmen. Private security guards hired by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to staff subway stations, and act as deterrents to would-be turnstile hoppers, have instead been lending a helping hand to the Big Apple fare-beaters. The Post recently observed Allied Universal Security Services guards inside the Herald Square station holding the emergency doors open on two different occasions to let a stream of scofflaws through. Several commuters could be seen walking up to the gate, and exchanging words with the guard, who then let them in. Whenever the guard opened the door, other fare-evaders would make a dash for it. “Whenever the gate opens, nobody wants to pay,” offered Allied Guard

President Trump went there! Trump posted a video titled, “The Video Hillary Clinton Does Not Want You to See” that documented just some of the mysterious ‘suicides’ linked to the Clinton Crime family. The video touched on the deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr., DNC staffer Seth Rich, Clinton White House Counsel Vince Foster, Clinton White House intern Mary Mahoney, and others connected to the Clintons. In July 1999, Hillary Clinton’s senate rival and front-runner for NY senate seat John F. Kennedy Jr. died in a plane crash. Mary Mahoney was a Clinton White House intern who could have been a star witness at the Clinton impeachment trials.

It’s something out of the movie Airplane, but that’s the Biden administration—an epic display of either government incompetence or indifference. This crew didn’t care that Kabul was going to fall to the Taliban, leading to the shambolic exit from the country and, finally, the detached and gross reaction to the 13 American soldiers who were killed during the Abbey Gate terror attack. To this day, I don’t think a senior member of the Biden administration has called the families of these victims. Biden's reputation as Mr. Empathy took an irreparable blow.

If there was such a thing as shame anymore, the Washington Post’s pompous “Fact Checker” column would close up shop. New revelations in “Original Sin,” a book about President Joe Biden’s decline, show how the White House covered up the obvious — and propaganda outlets like the Fact Checker shamed any media that broke ranks. Take Biden’s wandering off from a group of world leaders at last June’s D-Day celebrations: The New York Post’s front page read “MEANDER IN CHIEF,” which sent Fact Checker writer Glenn Kessler into a fit of apoplexy: “ ‘Cheapfake’ Biden videos enrapture right-wing media, but deeply mislead” was his headline.

Critics have questioned whether the feature can wear down the car’s battery or engine more quickly.

First, my sympathies for the Biden family. I’ve been there. Now, here’s my puzzlement. Prostate cancer is notoriously slow-growing. Although prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths among men (second to only lung cancer), that’s not because it’s so deadly, but because it’s so common. It’s a fact that more men die with prostate cancer than of it. Of those who die, the typical mechanism of death is by the cancer cells metastasizing to other organs and/or to the bones. It takes years for that to happen – typically something like 5-10 years even without treatment, and even longer with treatment.

According to a new report from the Los Angeles Times, Kamala Harris will spend her summer deciding between three options for her political future.

According to the report, the third option is a run for California governor. The report states, “According to several who’ve spoken with Harris, she is genuinely undecided, torn between concern and affection for her home state and an undimmed desire to be president.”

On Sunday, news broke that former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 and metastasis to the bone. The announcement, made by Biden’s office, detailed that the diagnosis followed the discovery of a prostate nodule after worsening urinary symptoms a week prior. While the statement emphasized that the cancer is hormone-sensitive, offering hope for effective management, the timing and context of this revelation raise serious questions about transparency and political motivations. The key question I have is this: Did Joe Biden’s inner circle know about this diagnosis last year?
