Progressive Christianity Watch: Full-Contact

It’s been a while, y’all. Since I haven’t treated you to a Progressive Christianity Watch column in a while, I figured we were due. I believe that the vast majority of churches in the United Methodist Church are faithful, non-woke congregations that faithfully preach the gospel. And then there’s this one. I’ve never understood the responsive reading. I never liked them growing up in the Christian Church, and I’m glad that the closest thing to it we do in my church is the scripture and creed we recite for Communion every Sunday. In one particular (unidentified) United Methodist Church, a speaker in a rainbow tie leads his congregation in a reading that has

Joe Biden’s handler was caught on a hot mic treating him like a toddler after he delivered a speech to Nebraska Democrats on Friday evening.
Joe Biden delivered a speech at the Nebraska Democrat Party’s “Ben Nelson Gala” in Omaha on Friday evening.
At one point Joe Biden began attacking President Trump and said this week’s election results is sending a message to ‘Trump and his crowd.’
‘You work for us, Mr. President!” Biden shouted. “We don’t work for you! You work for us! Not just billionaires and millionaires!”
Joe Biden blamed President Trump during his unhinged speech.
“This is a democracy and the fact of the matter is there are
Democrats were left with a heaping helping of egg on their face after another attempt to link President Trump to Jeffrey Epstein failed, forcing them to scramble to delete the flimsy "evidence" involving their latest baseless claim.
The Democratic National Committee's official X account on Thursday posted and then quickly deleted a claim alleging the President spent Thanksgiving 2017 with Jeffrey Epstein.
Using incredibly out-of-context emails, the DNC made it clear that they were offering evidence that "documents show Donald Trump spent Thanksgiving with Jeffrey Epstein in 2017."
Whoever pushed out that message clearly struggles with reading comprehension

John Kennedy is a gem. Nay, he is a trove of precious jewels. A national treasure, if you will. If this whole political career thing doesn't work out, he'll always have a pathway to stand-up comedian to fall back on.
Speaking of precious jewels, the Republican senator from Louisiana had some thoughts on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-NY). Kennedy has defined the power struggle taking place in the Democratic party today in a manner we've grown accustomed to—both brilliant and hilarious—during an appearance on "Will Cain Country."
Cain questioned Kennedy on the brewing civil war on the left between the handful of Democrats who broke ranks and voted to
A Return to Energy Reality
President Donald Trump is working to correct a drift that began during the Biden years. For no good strategic reason, the country watched its hard-won energy independence slip away.
Fortunately, sanity returned; the new administration reversed the restrictive rules that closed large areas of Alaska's National Petroleum Reserve, choking off future oil and gas development.
Many of those limits stemmed from Biden-era directives that favored environmental symbolism over practical national strength. The Department of the Interior signaled a fundamental shift when it announced the repeal of those rules and reopened millions of acres for leasing.
This isn't about politics. It's about whether a nation chooses to stand
One of the huge bonuses to having racked up a significant number of years in life is that one gets an amazing perspective on things. For example, I've been through a number of dire apocalyptic warnings. When I was a kid, global cooling and a new ice age were going to bring down the curtain on Mother Earth within 40 years. Before the ice had a chance to show up, fears of overpopulation were being spread. Widespread famine was going to do us in.
We're all aware of what happened next. When creeping glaciers and hunger hadn't brought about the end of humanity, apocalypse fetishists shifted their focus to
Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) So many times in recent years I've lamented no longer being the weird one. I've always been the guy who gets everybody singing "One of These Things (Is Not Like the Others)" at social gatherings. It's a role I've always relished.
The toxic combination of social media and Trump Derangement Syndrome have ruined that for me.
What's worse, the lunatic behavior of the American left has manifested itself in very childish ways. Crazy people pointless tantrums abound. That means that, not only have I lost my weird guy status, I now often find myself being the adult in the room.

Democrats and their ilk have targeted schools to start indoctrinating young, impressionable minds as early as possible
The radical leftists want people to believe that these rights apply only to those whom they choose. They hide behind the word inclusion as though it’s an impenetrable shield that protects their bigoted delusions.
It’s sad, but unfortunately true, that Democrats and their ilk have targeted schools to start indoctrinating young, impressionable minds as early as possible. Hardly a day goes by that we don’t hear about a legal fight somewhere in the country between a school board, either trying to allow boys in the girls' bathrooms, locker rooms, showers, or to play

The murder of Sara Sharif is a well-known case in Britain, but I became aware of it only because of a government report that has just been released. The report details failures by government agencies that contributed to Sara’s death:
Sara Sharif was murdered by her father and stepmother after a professional who may have “feared causing offence” failed to question why she was wearing a hijab that hid her injuries, a damning review has found.
The report, commissioned by the Surrey Safeguarding Children Partnership, found that “race was a bar to reporting possible child abuse” and “professionals never explored how [her Pakistani heritage] impacted on Sara”.

Republican Rep. Tim Burchett (TN-18) offered up a softball pitch to Democrats suddenly clamoring for public transparency regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files. They whiffed worse than the Mighty Casey.
Why? Because it's all a political ploy meant to take down their nemesis, President Donald Trump.
As RedState Managing Editor Jennifer Van Laar reported Wednesday, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee genuinely thought they finally had Trump cornered when it came to the Epstein files. They released a trove of 20,000 documents from the late sex-trafficker's estate, then honed in on three particular out-of-context emails which, in their minds, showed something nefarious.
Instead, it blew up spectacularly when it was

Operation “Arctic Frost” was the Biden-Harris Justice Department’s spying campaign against Republicans predicated on the non-crime of objecting to the results of a presidential election. My colleagues at RedState have previously reported on the Arctic Frost scandal.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) announced Wednesday that "197 subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith, which extended to more than 400 Republican organizations, including Turning Point USA and the Republican Attorneys General Association" as part of the operation, targeting 92 Republican individuals or organizations, including eight senators and one congressman.
Also, the Biden-Harris administration allowed for "unprecedented access" to then-former President Donald Trump through his government-issued phone.
Sharon Osbourne absolutely crushed the narrative by critics about President Donald Trump's character when she broke down while replaying the touching message she got from him after news broke in July that her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, had died.
During a recent episode of "The Osbournes Podcast," Sharon and their kids, Jack and Kelly, opened up about the many condolences their family received, ranging from King Charles III, President Trump, and thousands and thousands more.
At one point, they played a voicemail message that President Trump left her after learning of the legendary rock star's death in July.

Democratic Seattle Mayor-elect Katie Wilson declared that she will not allow private grocery stores to close in a resurfaced video from September. Wilson said during her mayoral run that corporate grocery chains should not be allowed to only sell food to those who can afford it and expressed support for a “public option,” meaning that government-run grocery stores would be established.
Across three-fifths of the United States, the Trump administration has found half a million people receiving SNAP benefits twice over and 5,000 dead people receiving them. In deep blue states, the fraud is probably much worse.
It is important to clarify that 20+ states out of the 50 did not comply with the federal government's request for information on SNAP beneficiaries, likely because they are trying to hide how many illegal aliens are illicitly receiving food stamps. So the horrifying numbers revealed by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins on Laura Ingraham's Fox News show, The Ingraham Angle, are actually incomplete, and will probably be much higher
Democrats thought they had a winning hand when they released three carefully selected Jeffrey Epstein emails on Wednesday morning. The timing was no accident. With their caucus still reeling from their base turning on them for caving on the government shutdown, they needed a distraction, and they believed these emails would deliver one. They were wrong.The so-called bombshell consisted of three email exchanges. The crown jewel of their selective leak was a 2011 email between Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in which Epstein described Trump as "the dog that hasn't barked." He noted that a victim had spent hours with Trump at Epstein’s house.
You've heard of biting off your nose to spite your face, but what about biting off taxpayers' noses because you don't like someone else?
Chicago City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin announced Wednesday that she will refuse to invest taxpayer money in the safest, most secure, most loss-proof investment in world history: U.S. Treasuries. She told aldermen that it's a way to push back on “the authoritarian regime of Donald Trump.” I'm sure she'll push back on Trump just as soon as Chicago buys U.S. Treasuries. The city currently doesn't own any. “I’m going to use that voice that our citizens gave me to say loud and clear to Donald Trump:
A new email released by the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday revealed that the late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein was advised that he could “finish” President Donald Trump on the eve of the 2016 presidential election.
In a message addressed to Epstein on October 29, 2016 reported on by The Miami Herald‘s Julie Brown, author Michael Wolff wrote:
There’s an opportunity to come forward this week and talk about Trump in such a way that could garner you great sympathy and help finish him. Interested?
BREAKING: Sen. John Fetterman Hospitalized

Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was hospitalized early Thursday after suffering a fall near his home in Braddock, according to a statement from his office.
“During an early morning walk, Senator Fetterman sustained a fall near his home in Braddock,” the statement, which his office posted to X, read. “Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh.”
The statement continued, “Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries. Senator Fetterman had this to say:
The fascist who gave fascism its name came to an ugly end. Benito Mussolini was impaled on a meat hook and hung upside-down from a lamppost. Fascists don’t tolerate failure.
Democrat leader Charles Schumer is someone I don’t like, and I felt a certain schadenfreude when his Democrat “friends” blamed him for their caving on what has come to be called the “Schumer Shutdown” or, more accurately, the “Schumer Sh*tshow.”
But there’s something disquieting about the barrage of criticism from the left.
Mama said no free buses

We hear that there is a lot of conflict on the other side. Some call it generational, or reminiscent of “Wild in the Streets”, or that movie about not trusting anyone over 30. Others say it’s ideological, or a desperate battle between center-left Democrats and the crazy left. I am not sure what to call it, but they sure are angry over there.
Well, we saw the first battle over the shutdown, and now get ready for the next episode over free buses. The New York City mayor-elect promised free buses, and the governor of New York responded with “we can’t afford it.”
Zohran Mamdani held a secretive meeting with far-left Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Wednesday — a sitdown that was captured by an eagle-eyed New Yorker whose office is across from the mayor-elect’s headquarters.
Warren boasted about the meeting with the Democratic socialist and Big Tech antagonist Lina Khan, the co-chair of Mamdani’s transition team, on Instagram.
“Tax the rich. Billionaire tears not pictured,” Warren captioned the post of the beaming trio.The nosy neighbor who works in the building across the street from Mamdani snapped a picture of him and Warren “in deep debate” on Nov. 12, according to a post on X.
Update: the blinds are all closed this morning,” he wrote Thursday.

A federal judge in Chicago has ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to release more than 600 illegal immigrants held at a suburban detention center, blasting the agency for “repeated, material violations” of a court-approved consent decree that limited who could be detained under US immigration law.
US District Judge Jeffrey Cummings ruled that more than 600 detainees being held at the Broadview ICE center must be released “on bond and into ICE’s Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program” by Nov. 21, citing what he called a “pattern of unlawful arrests and confinement.”

That Trump Spent Thanksgiving 2017 With Epstein 11 replies
Democrats desperately clinging to Jeffrey Epstein conspiracies hit a new low this week when Illinois Rep. Sean Casten claimed Wednesday evening that President Trump spent Thanksgiving 2017 with the convicted sex offender. The absurd allegation stems from a November 23, 2017 email in which Epstein mentioned that "david fizel, hanson, trump" would be at his Thanksgiving gathering with someone named "eva." [Tweet]
There's just one problem with Casten's conspiracy theory: Trump was president at the time and spent Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago, as White House records and countless news reports confirm.
