Come All Ye Fake Christians; My handy guide to spotting them.

Ann Coulter; Substack

"In honor of Christmas, this week we’ll discuss the worst advertisement for my religion: Christians. Sometimes it seems as if there are more fake, phony, fraud Christians than real Christians, but that’s because I read The New York Times (my North Star, which I believe implicitly).

"While not dispositive, it’s at least a red flag when the Times writes respectfully about a person’s Christianity.

"We’ll begin with Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla.

"Last year, Lankford negotiated a secret deal with the Democrats that would have formalized our country’s surrender to open borders. The so-called “bipartisan border security bill” -- Lankford is not only allegedly a “Christian,” but, also allegedly, a “Republican” -- codified Joe Biden’s illegal and treasonous border policies, requiring all future presidents to continue admitting millions of illegal aliens every year, just like Biden did, in violation of existing law.

"(What’s the matter with you, Oklahoma? How could a state like yours end up with a senator like this?)

"Naturally, the February 2024 Times article on this wonderful bipartisan border bill stressed Lankford’s Christianity, noting that he “previously ran the largest Christian youth camp in the country and has spoken often about how his faith guides his policy positions.” In this one case, the Times did not refer to Christians’ authoritarianism, homophobia, fear of “the other,” etc.

"The photo that ran with the article showed Lankford piously praying with his family, eyes closed and heads bowed, in front of an audience. It’s the gayest photo I’ve ever seen. (At the Times, that’s a plus.)

"In a May 2024 article about Christian parents nonplussed when their sons start wearing skirts and calling themselves “Tulip,” there could be no mistaking the good guys for the bad guys.

"The appalled parents, according to the Times, are “afraid of change,” expressing “anti-trans fear and zeal,” holding “deeply ingrained notions of masculinity and femininity,” who have “mocked, kicked out and denied communion” to transgenders. (Editor’s note: The “deeply ingrained notions” are also known as “reality.”) These people leveled “vociferous opposition to everything from drag shows to hormone treatments.” (What squares.)

"By contrast, the pro-trans Christian counselors are “expert voices,” trying to create “a space of curiosity as opposed to judgment,” who say things like, “we have to allow for questions” and instruct parents of trans kids to use their preferred pronouns “as a form of hospitality.”

"(They’d also appreciate it you’d all stop “dead naming” Jesus’ parents. All hail the Blessed Virgin Harry and their life partner Josephine.)Pretending a boy is a girl and a girl is a boy isn’t nuts, it’s a “celebratory embrace of new identities.” Just sign right here, and we’ll celebrate by whisking your son off for his penilectomy.

"Notwithstanding the happy face the Times tried to put on teenage mental illness, the Goebbels-like fad of poisoning and mutilating kids seems to be falling out of favor. If so, one line from the article is looking pretty good: “In many ways, conservative Christians have become the face of the American anti-trans movement.' ”

Overlooked No More: Inclusive Bullies!

 Ann Coulter  

"What is the point of enforcing a total embargo on stories about the epidemic of black-on-white violence — as is evident in the crime statistics — while billboarding a one-off story about a multiracial gang that beats up multiracial victims?" A.C.

"The New York Times must have thought it had died and gone to heaven when it discovered a group of violent high school bullies — and they weren’t all black! Members of Arizona’s “Gilbert’s Goons” were not only multiracial — white, Hispanic and black — but they victimized one student who appears to be half-black. The featured victim, Tristan, who was regularly wailed on by the Goons, is at least a “person of color,” judging by the multiple photos of him that ran with the article.

"Meanwhile, white kids at majority black high schools are subjected to daily beat-downs; internet videos regularly show black teenagers sadistically torturing their white classmates — never the other way around; and “the community” responds by saying the white victims had it coming.

"The Department of Justice’s aggregate statistics are troubling but indisputable. From 2008 to 2021, per capita data show that blacks commit violence against whites 25 to 30 times more often than the reverse. In raw numbers, blacks assault whites 6.4 times more often than whites commit violence against blacks.

"Thus, for example:

— Just last week at North Atlanta High School, a black student attacked a white special needs kid with scissors, repeatedly stabbing him in the eye. As he walked away, the assailant hissed, “white bitch.” This suggests, at least to me, a racial dimension to the attack. The special needs kid never even fought back. 

— In August, three black high schoolers ganged up on a white kid, beating him in his dorm room at football camp. That ended the season for the victim — who also never fought back. The assailants’ family members and the NAACP objected to the black kids’ suspensions, because the FULL story was that the kid had used the “n-word” on social media. (Which, if true, suggests that he’s either a racist or an up-and-coming rap artist.) Not that it matters, but the victim denied ever using the mass murdering word. 

 — In June, a black girl at a Cape Cod high school slapped around a 15-year-old white girl, dragged her by the hair and forced her to lick the bathroom floor. An accomplice filmed the whole thing and posted it on Snapchat, naturally.

— In April, a white student, Austin Metcalf, was stabbed to death by Karmelo Anthony, a black competitor at a track meet in Frisco, Texas. The assailant’s family raised half a million dollars on GiveSendGo — for “legal expenses.” The victim’s family raised half that sum — for funeral expenses.

 "But the Times didn’t mention any of these attacks.

"So you can imagine my surprise when that same paper gave a whole magazine cover story — 6,400 words! — to some school toughs in Arizona. These used to be called “man bites dog” stories. Now we call them “white kid bullies black kid” stories." . . . More...

The Welcome Demise of Climate Change Catastrophism

4 Catastrophic Climate Predictions That Never Came True  "Scientists and pundits seem so certain we’re headed for global collapse and their predictions can be terrifying—especially if you’re young enough not to remember the last dozen times they predicted imminent collapse and were wrong. In each case, claims of impending environmental disaster were backed by allegedly irrefutable data and policymakers were encouraged to act before it was too late."

The Welcome Demise of Climate Change Catastrophism   "The public has grown skeptical, especially when faced with real problems like the cost of living."

                                            Having Solved Climate Change, Greta Thunberg  

                                                   Turns Attention To Middle East Peace

"As the American Left finally waking up from its decades-long climate catastrophism stupor? For years, climate alarmism has reigned as political catechism: The planet is burning, and only drastic action — deindustrialization, draconian regulation, even ceasing childbearing — could forestall certain apocalypse. Now, at least some signs are emerging that both the broader public and leading liberal voices may be recoiling from the doom and gloom.

"First, recent polling shows that the intensity of climate dread is weakening. According to a July 2025 report from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, while a majority (69 percent) of Americans still say global warming is happening, only 60 percent say it’s “mostly human-caused”; 28 percent attribute it mostly to natural environmental changes. A similar October 2025 study from the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy Institute found that “belief in human-driven climate change declined overall” since 2017.. . . 

"The climate alarm machine — powered by the twin engines of moral panic and groupthink homogeneity — is sputtering. When the public grows skeptical, when billionaire techno-philanthropists question the prevailing consensus, and when supposedly mainstream scientific projections reverse course, that’s a sign that the days of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth propaganda documentary and John Kerry’s “special presidential envoy for climate” globe-trotting vanity gig are officially over.

"Ultimately, no one stands to benefit more from this incipient trend toward climate sanity than the American people themselves. In an era where optimism can be hard to come by, the professed certitude of imminent environmental apocalypse is pretty much the least helpful thing imaginable. If one is seeking to plant the seeds of hope, nothing could be worse than lecturing to the masses that one is a climate change-“denying” misanthrope if he has the temerity to take his family on an airplane for a nice vacation or — egad! — entertain thoughts of having more children." . . .

Democrat hatred of Trump distorts reality; a permanent host position for Biden on "The View"?

 

Rich Terrell

COLUMNIST: Is Trump Derangement Syndrome real?    "The term "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is often used by supporters of President Donald Trump to discredit virtually any criticism of him. It is a convenient slur because it allows someone to sidestep actual criticism of Trump by suggesting that the person making the criticism is mentally flawed.

"In fact, a "deranged" person is worse than just "wrong": he is mentally incapable--in fact, dangerously so. Using this slur is a convenient way to dismiss a person rather than confront what they actually say. As such, it is completely dishonest.

"The slur has become so common that it is frequently referred to by the acronym TDS, as in the phrase "Your TDS is showing."

"Using the term Trump Derangement Syndrome is juvenile. Every time I hear it, I am reminded of arguments I remember from middle school. Someone would disagree with someone else in the playground, and the response would be, "Well, you're stupid."

"Even in middle school, I could see that responses like this are simply avoidance. The person using them apparently couldn't think of anything substantive to say and retreated into a dismissive insult. It didn't work then and doesn't work now.

"Does anyone actually have something that could be called Trump Derangement Syndrome? Perhaps. There are probably a few people who just hate everything about Trump and would never be able to concede that he could say or do anything positive. When Bill Clinton was president, there were a few Republicans who couldn't stand him. His voice put their teeth on edge. And I suspect there are a few Democrats who hate Trump in the same way those few Republicans hated Clinton." . . .

Democrat hatred of Trump distorts reality    . . . "President Trump further demonstrated zero interest in launching a full-scale war against the Iranian regime. As John Spencer, executive director of the Urban Warfare Institute, tweeted, “The United States is not at war with Iran. The United States has not declared war on Iran. The United States did use military force to assist Israel in achieving a limited goal to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program.” Trump even optimistically announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran on Monday – that Iran’s regime promptly broke.

"In short, Congressional Democrats bollixed things up. Going forward, they’d be wise to learn from former Massachusetts Democratic Congressional candidate Brianna Wu, who rightly observed, “A nation cannot survive if our partisanship overrides our national security."

"It was reminiscent of his September 2022 speech in Philadelphia, which was marked by a deep red, almost demonic backdrop and dark threats about going to war with "Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans [who] represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic." That unhinged language was resurrected in his State of the Union, reminding us that he has no intention of changing his destructive policy or rhetorical direction." . . .

Governor Of California BROKE DOWN After $8.43 GAS PRICES Expert Prediction

Inspector James

Not my fault! Talk to the hands!

"California is facing a fuel crisis no one in Sacramento wants to admit.

"An expert forecast warns gas prices could surge to $8.43 per gallon, and instead of addressing the numbers, the Governor’s office went on the attack. In this video, we break down what’s really happening behind California’s skyrocketing gas prices — refinery shutdowns, collapsing fuel supply, aggressive regulations, and a political response that’s raising even more alarm. "Two major refineries are closing. Imports are stretched thin. Taxes and hidden surcharges keep climbing. And drivers are already paying the price at the pump. "Is this the worst fuel crisis since the 1970s? "Was this predictable — and preventable? "And why is California suddenly scrambling behind closed doors?"

ANTIETAM: Texas Counterattack at Antietam

HISTORICAL FILMS

"I cannot imagine a better reenactment, or better narration than this. Like many Virginians, I had family in that battle, fortunately not at the corn field, and I imagine the Battle of Sharpsburg and the other battles of the war looked just like this."

Antietam Gallery; Jeremy Scott

 "Filmed in the actual Miller cornfield after the producers planted period-appropriate, checkrow pattern corn there in order to get the visual aspects of this story just right. Historian Gordon Rhea, David Finney, and James I. “Bud” Robertson take you through that field with the men of the 1st Texas Infantry, where they sustained exactly the same casualty figures as the men of the Alamo in 1836.

"We’ve included the full segment of the Texas counterattack in Miller’s cornfield. This is the director’s favorite scene, and it was captured by his 2nd unit director, the Civil War painter Dan Nance, in artistic style. We are currently working on Volume Two of the mini-series.

Every purchase there supports the completion of this unique project – the most in depth study of the Battle of Antietam. Thank you."

The Bloody Lane, byJeremy Scott

"Antietam Battlefield is one of my favorite Civil War hallowed grounds to visit. It is easy access off of I-70 to the sleepy little hamlet of Sharpsburg Md just on the other side of the Potomac River from Sheperdstown(oldest town)WV. The town is very similar to its original appearance back 162 years ago. Unlike Gettysburg which is so commercialized it looks like Branson Missouri this national treasure still exudes its original humble grandeur. Having been to Vicksburg, Lookout Mtn, Mansfield La, Bentonville NC and Phillipi WV(first land battle), Fredericksburg, Manassas, and Appomattox Courthouse theres few sites I havent seen. For any students of the Civil War who havent made it to Antietam Creek, do so! You wont be disappointed! Harper's Ferry is also less than a hour away."

Antietam Battle Facts and Summary | American Battlefield Trust

"Antietam, the deadliest one-day battle in American military history, showed that the Union could stand against the Confederate army in the Eastern theater. It also gave President Abraham Lincoln the confidence to issue the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation at a moment of strength rather than desperation.

How it ended

"Inconclusive. General Robert E. Lee committed his entire force to the battle, while [the timid] Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan sent in less than three quarters of his. With the full commitment of McClellan’s troops, which outnumbered the Confederates two to one, the battle might have had a more definitive outcome. Instead, McClellan’s half-hearted approach allowed Lee to hold ground by shifting forces from threat to threat." . . .

Awkward: Hillary's Running Mate Demands Bill Clinton Explain His Starring Role in the Epstein Files

 RedState  

"The depositions for the Clintons are now set for January, and they may have to answer questions as to the pictures. So by delaying things, they may have just made things worse for themselves."

Broc Smith

"Democrats may be slightly regretting their vocal push to have the Trump administration release all of the Epstein files, especially as they are finding out, much to their chagrin, that it's not Donald Trump who has a starring role in the most recent document dump, but rather their very own groper-in-chief, Bill Clinton.

"As RedState's Bob Hoge reported on Friday, after the Department of Justice (DOJ) released a huge tranche of Epstein-related documents and photographs, "Slick Willy" was found to be all over the place. Per Bob, the DOJ, in announcing the document dump, revealed its investigation had yielded more than 1,200 victims (and their family members) of the now-deceased Jeffrey Epstein. Then came the photos. 

Next came the story about the pictures in the document dump, many of which were salacious and featured photos of famous people and politicians — including many snaps of former President Bill Clinton. He was seen with unknown women in a pool, a jacuzzi, and at dinners and other occasions. The story has gone viral, and Slick Willy is obviously feeling the heat because he released a snippy statement Friday where he absolved himself of all responsibility and blamed… Trump.

"The jacuzzi photo is vomit-inducing, so we won't include it here, but suffice it to say that Bill Clinton appeared to really enjoy indulging in nefarious extracurricular activities on the pedophile's dime. We have over three decades of evidence, however, to show that Bill Clinton's predatory behavior against women – and possibly minors? – is something Democrats, the Left, and "feminists" (paging Hillary Clinton!) refuse to confront. He's long gotten a free pass from them.

"Now, in an interesting twist, even Hillary Clinton's former running mate thinks the 42nd president should own up to his past indiscretions, perhaps sensing that the Epstein files are looking worse and worse for Democrats. They clearly thought the files were something they'd be able to use against Trump/MAGA, but, sadly for them, there's Bill Clinton's grinning face in photo after photo." . . . More...

BREAKING: Man behind LAScanner account doxing ICE agents arrested and JAILED in California

DHS has previously said that assaults on ICE agents have increased over 1,000 percent since President Donald Trump took office. In addition to the increase in assaults on ICE, there have been many instances of ICE agents having their personal information doxed.  

"The person behind the social media account LAScanner was arrested on Friday and is being held in custody. Jack D. Quillin, the owner of the social media account, has consistently doxed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

"Quillin was arrested by the Ventura County Sheriff Department on Friday.

"In June, Quillin was posting the real time locations of ICE agents during operations in California. The doxing sparked accusations that he was endangering ICE as well as federal officers in their operations. 

"According to Insider Wire, Quillin is a convicted felon from a 2023 stalking case. As a felon it is illegal for him to have a police scanner. He was taken into custody at the airport "while attempting to visit CA from TX, with DHS possibly being involved in the arrest," a source told the outlet. 

"A source told the outlet, "The arrest may be related to his past doxxing of ICE agents, or his various parole violations such as possessing forbidden weapons or police scanners, which have been well-documented online." Another person who spoke to Inside Wire said that Quillin had been "accused of hacking DHS radios." . . .

Jasmine Crockett triggered by JD Vance saying she has ‘street-girl persona’

 “Y’all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there, come on now,” Crockett said at the time. “And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot ass mess, honey.”

American Spectator

BizPac Review  "Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett reacted angrily on Sunday to Vice President JD Vance accusing her of having a phony “street-girl persona.”

"Vance made the remark at Turning Point USA’s (TPUSA) AmericaFest on Sunday, noting that Crockett is running for Senate but that “her street-girl persona is about as real as her nails.” Crockett responded on MS NOW’s “The Weekend Primetime,” arguing that Vance was attempting to “rile up his base” and claiming Republicans feared her Texas Senate campaign before refuting the accusation.

“I’m sorry, but anybody that you talk to knows my credentials. They know that I’ve gone to school. They know that I’m educated. I never tried to put on some random story about where I came from,” Crockett said. “But at the end of the day, I am who I am, and I am authentic. And that is actually what they are fearful of, is my authenticity, because it rings true with every single American, whether they’re a Texan or not. It rings true that I am fighting for real, everyday people.”. . . 

And, as always when you challenge a black Democrat, expect the racism demagoguery to burst forth from any graduate of the Waters/ Reid University of Racism:

"Crockett also accused Vance of racism over his allegation.  

“I have been a black woman my entire life. I promise you there are other people just like JD Vance who have tried to do the same racist tropes my entire life,” she said. “And somehow I ascended and became a U.S. congresswoman. It will not be different when I become a U.S. senator. And we can have a conversation when I get to the Senate floor if he wants to talk.”

JD Vance goes nuclear on 'disgusting' attacks against wife Usha with a blistering warning   . . . "Vance's stern words come as the vice president has faced allegations that his marriage has been on the rocks this year, including Usha being seen without her wedding ring on official trips. 

"He singled out Fuentes in particular for his repeat slights at the Second Lady, which have included branding her a 'Jeet' in an insult to her Indian heritage. 

"When Vance was selected as Donald Trump's 2024 running mate, Fuentes also questioned: 'Who is this guy, really? Do we really expect that the guy who has an Indian wife and named their kid Vivek is going to support white identity?'  

"Vance has faced calls to distance himself from the influencer amid speculation he is plotting a 2028 presidential run, as Fuentes commands a huge audience despite saying in the past that he 'loves Hitler' and believes the Holocaust 'is exaggerated.'

"In Vance's interview this week, he issued a sharp rebuke of Fuentes' anti-Semitic stances, saying that 'anti-Semitism, and all forms of ethnic hatred, have no place in the conservative movement.'

" 'Whether you’re attacking somebody because they’re white or because they’re black or because they’re Jewish, I think it’s disgusting,' Vance continued." . . . 

How can Democrats be any more repulsive? From all you see above, to cheering for Hamas, which placed babies in ovens or beheading them, murdering entire families, forcing families to sit on floors next to their slain 13-year-old daughter, cutting off breasts of captured Israeli women and raping them. And, of course, wearing those fancy designer scarves in honor of those who do such things. TD

My Resignation From The Heritage Foundation

 Reason.com; Josh Blackman   I sent this letter this evening to Dr. Kevin Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation.

Dear Dr. Roberts, It is with deep regret that I must resign my position as Senior Editor of the

Josh Blackman

Heritage Guide to the Constitution. Indeed, I could not have even conceived of such an action only a few months ago when we launched the third edition of the guide. On Constitution Day, I proudly stood at the Heritage Foundation as we released this book to the world. But your actions have made my continued affiliation with Heritage untenable. First, your comments were a huge unforced blunder, and gave aid and comfort to the rising tide of antisemitism on the right. Second, in the wake of your remarks, jurists, scholars, and advocates have made clear to me they can no longer associate with the Heritage Guide they contributed to. Third, and perhaps most tragically, your actions have weakened the ability of the storied Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies to promote the rule of law. My resignation is effective immediately.

"For the past decade, I have cherished my close ties with The Heritage Foundation. I received several awards from Heritage, including the inaugural Edwin Meese Originalism Award. Every year, I lecture at the Heritage Clerkship Academy. I published a Heritage whitepaper on fighting antisemitism. And the crowning achievement of my professional career has been my service as the senior editor of the Heritage Guide to the Constitution, which was published only three months ago. I devoted four years of my life to this definitive treatment of the Constitution. More importantly, John and I recruited more than 150 jurists, scholars, and advocates to participate in this generational project. As a testament to the value of this enterprise, Justice Samuel Alito graciously wrote the preface. All of this work was possible thanks to the sterling reputation of the Meese Center. Attorney General Edwin Meese is the cornerstone of the conservative legal movement. My co-editor John Malcolm is a brilliant scholar and bold leader who has guided the Meese Center to great heights. And the staff of the Meese Center provided the careful attention and insightful edits to make the Guide possible.

"Yet, Heritage came to a crashing halt after your infamous video. Your initial remarks were indefensible. Your apology was underwhelming. And the lack of any meaningful followup over the past three months has been telling. For reasons only you know, you aligned the Heritage Foundation with the rising tide of antisemitism on the right." . . .More...

Sincerely,  Josh Blackman, Former Senior Editor, Heritage Guide to the Constitution.
