There Won’t Be A War with Iran: They can’t afford it

There is all this talk about war with Iran, and America getting sucked into a prolonged war that will further entangle us into a mess of foreign commitment.  And there are all these war hawks like Lindsey Graham who want to go to war and bomb Iran into destruction.  And then there are people like Tucker Carlson who want complete involvement in Israel’s business, at all.  But everyone is missing the point, and Trump gets it.  You have to know your leverage points, and just to burst everyone’s bubble, Iran has already lost any potential war.  Iran is another hostile country, much like Antifa or Black Lives Matter in America, that is propped up with foreign money to create a grand distraction in the world.  Iran is the number 1 sponsor of terrorism in the world.  They don’t call it terrorism; however, they instead call it “revolutionary activities,” using almost the same kind of logic as we saw from the No Kings riots in America.  Iran exists to fight capitalism behind the façade of radical Islamic Fundamentalism.  And they can’t be reasoned with.  There is nothing about them that exists to protect the indigenous rights of the Palestinian people, and their continued protest to fight and destroy the creation of Israel as a country in the post-World War II environment.  Remember when the Obama administration left behind 1.7 billion dollars on an airport runway to Iran?  Or when Joe Biden lifted sanctions against Iran that were there from Trump’s first term?  Iran is not a country; it’s an Occupy Wall Street endeavor by radical leftist lunatics to destabilize the world.  Here are the facts: Iran can’t win a war with the United States.  I can’t win a war against a turtle.  And the threat of calling their bluff will shatter them completely. 

$1.7 billion might sound like a lot of money, but ground troops cost significantly more than that for just a few weeks of war.  And with all those missiles that they have launched against Israel, those are very expensive.  Additionally, Iran has its entire power grid concentrated in a small area, which would be very easy to target and disrupt.  Iran has an essentially oil-based economy, but not much else.  You don’t see people rushing out to buy the latest Iranian television or a new pair of jeans.  Iran could be brought to its knees without America firing a single shot, by just forcing the price of oil too low to compete with by exporting American oil.  And that is the way Trump is going to destroy hostile markets like Venezuela and Iran, through economics.  There is no reason to engage in a military conflict.  Iran doesn’t have the money to fight a war, and their entire infrastructure could be destroyed easily.  And with all the missiles they have launched recently toward Israel, they are going to run out of rockets fast.  And where are they going to get more of them?  Who is going to supply Iran with more weapons while the world’s eyes are on them?  Typically, Iran manufactures missiles on assembly lines, but it has to import the technology that powers them, which comes from North Korea and China.  Who thinks that either country is going to supply Iran with anything while Trump is in office?  They want to appease Trump, rather than risk being on the wrong side of the negotiating table with him.  Iran is currently on its own, and it can’t last long.  The Revolutionaries who run the country are not very deep in number, and the people in general in Iran do not support the current regime, so they only hold onto power with the threat of violence.  And they’ll lose that with any fight against Israel.

The Army Parade came at the perfect time, because it showed the world what the riches of capitalism can produce in such a display in the very nice city of Washington, D.C.  It took off the table any thought of engagement in a ground war with America, and the rest of the world doesn’t have the money to keep up.  The wars we have been dealing with were largely creations by centralized banking, not countries fighting over borders and ideology.  Trump knows he can crush Iran economically.  They are already reeling from the short conflict with Israel.  And when Iran falls, that will put pressure on Russia to settle things with Ukraine, which is also propped up entirely by globalist money.  And China is in a delicate situation with its economy.  They are propped up by globalism, and now that people are onto the scam, they are in a preventive defense mode.  They can’t afford any sustained competition along economic lines.  They’d love to attack Taiwan and take all its resources.  They’d love to do the same in Japan.  However, they dare not do it, because they would be economically destroyed.  So they have to play nice.  There won’t be any war.  And while many of these countries have their militaries, they can also hold parades.  They have to work a lot harder to have those militaries than America does.  In any engagement, they will run out of gas and come up short on missiles really fast.  But America can produce weapons like candy.  And when it was put on display, as it was at the Army Parade, it was disheartening to those in the world who want to intimidate by puffing up their feathers, only for everyone to learn that it was just a skinny, weak bird in the middle.

Iran is going to fall, and they should.  They are evil.  And once they do, there won’t be any place left in the world for all these terrorist organizations to hide behind.  If you take out the number one sponsor of terrorism, a world with a lot less terrorism would be a good one.  And when you look around at the hostile places of the world, who are just as close to falling as Iran currently is, they can’t hang onto power unless people are scared of them.  China is at risk of losing Hong Kong, for instance.  If Iran falls apart, the rest of them will likely follow suit.  And Trump, or America, doesn’t have to do much of anything for it to happen.  We certainly don’t need to send troops into Israel.  I love Israel, and I think they deserve revenge for what happened at that music festival.  A lot of people were killed and tortured who didn’t deserve it, and what was done to them, with Iran backing the activity in the background, was terrible.  But forget about this idea of ground engagement.  Those are not the fights we are fighting anymore.  When Iran falls, the Ukraine War will likely end shortly thereafter, due to the resulting pressure.  And China will struggle to maintain its current economic strength because it needs American markets to sell its products to.  They are dependent on America for their power, which can be turned off quickly.  And ruthlessly.  Which is what Trump will do to Iran, and once that vulnerability is exposed, all the other dominoes in the world fall too.  Therefore, there will be no military engagement.  Iran has already lost, and I believe they are aware of it.  It’s just taking the media a while to figure it out, because they need the subject matter.  However, the war with Iran never even began.  And Israel will easily triumph over their enemies with the power of economics.  Not missiles.

Mexico is a Dump: Where is the arrest of the killer of Valeria Marquez

So, where are the arrests? The killer showed his face on the livestream on TikTok when he killed the 23-year-old Mexican beauty influencer on May 13th, 2025.  The Mexican government promised justice, so where is it?  With all the face recognition software there is in the world, why haven’t they gone to his home and arrested him spectacularly for such a horrendous crime?  Because they can’t, because the drug cartels run Mexico and the token government there, just like globalists were trying to do to the United States, won’t allow it.  In Mexico, it’s a dump, and the government facilitates that kind of violence.  Valeria Marquez was trying to escape her drug cartel boyfriend, be a good girl, and turn her life around as a social media beauty consultant.  And when her old boyfriend saw that men were sending her gifts because she was very popular and had quite a large audience, he decided to send a hit man into the salon, right in front of everyone, and while the livestream was running, assassinate her while she clutched a cute little stuffed animal.  And in those moments where her life was stolen from her, she looked like a little girl who, just ten years prior, would have been a little girl thrilled to get such a stuffed animal from a trusted adult.  But she was brutally murdered because she wanted independence from a personal tyrant, and it has turned out to be a terrible story.  But you know what is most sad about it?  You would have never heard about this story if she weren’t a popular social media star.   Because they happen all the time, and in Mexico, they happen every few minutes.  Mexico is a dump, and the criminal elements who run these governments in the world want to keep it that way, because it gives them power over the degradation.

Violence in Mexico is so bad that the other day I saw a Family Guy episode where Peter Griffin made a joke as his head had been cut off and stuck on a pike, bleeding profusely.  And he said, “I took one step away from the resort,” meaning that’s how it is in Mexico.  The drug cartels leave the resorts alone most of the time to give the illusion that things are safe enough to have a tourist economy.  But if you step out of the lines they give you, it’s anything goes, and tourists end up dead all the time.  But more than that, young women like Valeria Marquez know they have no choice.  Once they hit puberty, if somebody sees them and they look reasonably attractive, the cartels will take them away from their families, and there isn’t much they can do about it.  When people wonder why she was dating a gang banger, she had no choice.  If she wanted to live, she had to play the game; her family could do nothing about it.  If you have a pretty daughter, in places in the world where crime rules, which is most places, the world will take her and use her until they are done with her.  And at that point, they might let her return to an everyday life.  But in the case of Valeria Marquez, she was just too pretty.  At 23 years old, her shelf life for sexual exploitation was expiring.  It’s the young girls that these drug dealers want, and at that point, they are starting to get old.  So she tried to turn her life around with a social media account that took off, and hoped that the high profile would save her.  But her ex-boyfriend figured if he couldn’t have her, nobody else would, so he had her killed.

The problem in Mexico is so bad that not even the latest Rambo movie dared to deal with the situation as we needed to.  In the last Rambo movie with Sylvester Stallone, even the famous movie star bent the knee to the cartels’ power.  Otherwise, Mexico wouldn’t have considered allowing that production company to film there.  The Mexican government pretends that it wants to put an end to cartel violence when, in truth, it wants the world to know just how bad it is so that it will be afraid and be very compliant.  Rambo in the movie I’m talking about, Last Stand, went to Mexico to save a young girl, much like Valeria Marquez, from the cartels, and he ended up getting beaten up pretty bad, which is not the way the Rambo movies were supposed to go.  Rambo, in true American fashion, should have gone to the stronghold of the cartel members and killed every last one with a spectacular gunfight.  But instead, he had to barely escape Mexico with his life to retreat to his home in America, where the cartel came to kill him on his home turf, to show the power and control they have even in America.  And Rambo managed to live as they destroyed his home.  But the whole movie was flat because it failed to solve the problem.  What the movie did show accurately, even if it’s really what the Mexican government wanted out of the deal, was to show how the grooming process works for young women, and what the substructure of the organized crime was really like.  And not even John Rambo was strong enough to confront it.

The power of these drug cartels even extends into our Supreme Court, where they have refused to get behind Trump’s war against the cartels, because there is real fear that some hit man will come to their homes and kill them, just as they did Valeria Marquez.  And that’s the point.  Not everyone has the kind of security that President Trump has, and they don’t want to be killed for fighting back against the drug cartels.  These criminals want to make a product that poisons its targets, and we are supposed to let them do it, which is what the Supreme Court decided in its attempt to stop Trump from deporting criminal thugs.  The people Trump has been deporting were the kind of people who killed Valeria Marquez.  And they terrorize the world, especially in socialist countries like Mexico, where the government exists to facilitate organized crime.  There is no concept of private property, so there is no reason to defend it, even if it’s a daughter.  If you have a pretty daughter, you aren’t allowed to have a gun to protect her from criminal thugs.  Instead, you are supposed to surrender her over to them and let them have their way.  And if you don’t, you will be killed too.  It’s so common that it’s even joked about on the popular show, Family Guy.  It’s not even a secret; everyone is in on it.  And the bad guys in the world, many who find themselves in government and getting kickbacks from allowing the crime to occur, facilitate the violence to keep the easy money coming, because they are too lazy and stupid otherwise to earn an honest living.  That is the truth of Mexico.  They don’t want to catch the killer of Valeria Marquez because they want the fear of such killings to keep people under their power and dependent on the government for their safety, which has only perpetuated the problem into the mess we see now.  There are a lot of young women like Valeria Marquez.  And there aren’t enough good people in the world to save them.  And that is a shame.

Jim Comey Needs to be in Jail: Trying to intimidate the Supreme Court, and others to outlast Trump’s administration

Jim Comey knew what he was doing when playing with seashells on a beach and took a picture of an arrangement he made for his Instagram account.  That he denied he didn’t know what “8647” meant shows now, in hindsight, what a pervasive liar he has been on everything.  This is something that Democrats have been doing for a while to send a signal out to their deranged base of lunatics to do something stupid with a dog whistle meant for them.  Jim Comey was calling for the removal, by the understood means of assassination, by using the number “86” and putting it on his social media to connect with people who would do just that.  And by itself, it’s a serious matter.  But Jim Comey is on the outside now because he actively tried to remove Trump himself with all kinds of illegal activity, making up dossiers and passing them off as fact, faking FISA warrants, lying to congress, lying to the President and voters, Jim Comey, as I told CNN long ago, was a no good loser who was corrupt and took the FBI down a dark path for which it will never recover.  And given his history, and the known assassinations that were already attempted against Trump, the context of this recent case of Comey getting caught doing it is unforgivable, and he should be in jail for his misdeed.  It doesn’t matter that the FBI interviewed him and his intentions. Comey is a known, professional liar, and he knowingly put up a mark on his social media account as the former Director of the FBI, and the consequences for that action should be jail time at a minimum.  His intent is well chronicled and can be supported in a court of law beyond a reasonable doubt. 

But there is a bigger problem looming in the background, and this is about the Supreme Court ruling against Trump’s Article II powers to deport criminal thugs and cartel members operating in the United States.  On the same day we learned about Comey’s activism, we also learned that the Supreme Court, including all of Trump’s picks, went against him on deporting the illegal alien gang members, that have been hotly debated.  Seeing the Supreme Court punt with a 7-2 decision surprised everyone.  Well, I’m not surprised.  I was just at the Supreme Court recently, and know the vibe there firsthand.  There is a lot of pressure on them to distance themselves from the Trump administration because, after all, the polite society types know that Trump is temporary, and judges tend to wait for a lifetime appointment.  They will be around long after Trump is gone, so the assumption goes, and what the Supreme Court doesn’t want are people like James Comey, who are all over the intelligence community, putting out “86” hits on them to be performed by some crazy hitman lunatic driving by on a scooter outside their home and erasing them from existence while they are getting their mail.  Because that’s what’s bad about this hit request from Comey, is that he knows as an insider, that baked into his actions is an unprovably assumption about an underbelly of criminal conduct that works continuously in the background and turns the timid types, like judges on the Supreme Court into cowards worried about their future as the system itself will dispose of them at their first chance.  In this way, Comey commanded from his former title, showing that he’s like a mob boss still calling the shots from jail.  Members of the Supreme Court are afraid of these people for good reasons. 

Obama was the autopen

Trump’s picks are going out of their way to show they are independent of the President because the pressure on them is intense.  And when Comey put that message on his Instagram account, he didn’t mean it for Trump.  He meant it for the people who work for Trump and around him, as a rallying cry to resist him.  He will be gone and won’t be able to protect them at some point.  So they better get with the program.  We’ve seen Chuck Schumer beg a mob of malcontents to attack members of the Supreme Court for their previous rulings, and we’ve seen other assassination attempts against Trump where the FBI practically left the door open for the killers to kill.  This isn’t an accident; it’s a method of behavior that Democrats are counting on.  And they are bold about it.  And based on Comey’s past behavior, we were aware that he openly worked against the taxpayer selection of a representative in the White House; there is no way to deny what Comey was up to.  He and “they,” the Democrat mob who have found themselves out of power, are showing emotional leverage of the Supreme Court through well-planted acts of potential violence to steer them away from hard rulings and to punt this deportation case back down to the 5th circuit to stall Trump’s efforts, which won’t work in the end.  There are other ways to skin this cat.  However, the Supreme Court invalidated itself in the process because of the apparent threats from the hard left, of which Comey is a part.  There are a lot of his type in the law and order community at all levels, and they are arrogant because they think the rest of everybody is too stupid to know what they are up to.  Well, people see it, and they know what was going on in this case, and nobody believes what he’s saying.  It was this same Comey FBI that hid the Anthony Weiner laptop, whose wife is the new woman for little Alex Soros, and the Hunter Biden laptop, which showed all kinds of legal infractions.  And did not move to put Hillary Clinton in jail for her email scandal, but instead ran cover for her, because they were trying to keep Trump out of office. 

When you have people like Comey in the intelligence agencies, even when Trump has picked better people to run the Department of Justice now than we had, you still have these people on the payroll, and they are just holding their nose and waiting for Trump to be out of office once more.  And messages like Comey’s seashells are obvious intimidation tactics to show the masses that the mob is really in charge, and even members of the former administrations are always just a call away.  That insurrection through mob rule still dominates this material world.  Isn’t that the message of Hiram Abiff?  What say you, Master Masons?  The mob kills, and we must surrender this world and keep our eyes on the next.  So that cowards can justify turning their cheek away from evil and not face it, even when it presents itself on a beach by the former Director of the FBI.  And when caught, he lied and said it didn’t mean what we all know it meant.  Jim Comey is a dirty cop who wants crime to exist so that Democrats can stay in power.  And they want to tie up the Supreme Court so that violence can overthrow the order of a Trump administration before it can do all the great things promised during the 2024 campaign.  These are not lovers of America; they want to overthrow it, and their best weapon of choice is to inspire derelicts to action, which was what Jim Comey intended.  He needs to be put in jail and made an example of.

A Wonderful Expereince: Playing the new Indiana Jones game on PS5

I wasn’t going to play the new Indiana Jones game on PlayStation 5, but after much encouragement from my wife, I did, and I’m glad.  Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was an excellent experience with a great story, and was a throwback to the kind of entertainment I think we need a lot more of.  I was skeptical of Lucasfilm doing anything with Indiana Jones these days under the ownership of Disney.  I like the character and the kind of science spawned from those movies over the years.  But I wasn’t sure if they could pull off a good story without George Lucas.  But my wife has been pressing me to play more video games with the grandchildren, because that’s what they like to do.  But my life is so busy, I don’t have time to hang out online like most video games require, with a very social experience.  These days, video games are a way for kids to interact socially.  Games like Fortnite and Call of Duty put you in contact with thousands of people daily.  Kids who play these games for hours will interact with thousands of people in real time, so video game playing these days is a very social experience, and I’m not at all crazy about that.  I talk to way too many people throughout the week to want to spend my downtime talking and playing with more people.  So I haven’t been playing video games very much, and my wife thinks I need to do more for stress management.   So I listened to her, wives can be good for many things, and when the new Indiana Jones game came out in April of 2025 on the PS5 console, I thought I’d try it. 

Because I’m a fan of the character and raised my kids on the optimism of those movies, as a baseline for other things, I bought the Collector’s Edition of the game, which came with all kinds of neat stuff.  But once I started playing the game, I enjoyed the story as it takes you through the character of Indiana Jones to Peru, the Vatican, Giza, the Himalayas, Thailand, Shanghai, and Iraq.  It’s not an online game, so you can play it without interacting with others and have a nice story-driven experience.  And much to my surprise, this game was very much in line with the Indiana Jones movies, and it had a tone similar to the most recent one, the Dial of Destiny.  So it was true to the original character and didn’t have the woke stuff, which is such a problem these days.  There were a few things, but not enough to tarnish the game.  It was a good adventure story that was much longer than a typical movie.  I spent 60 hours playing the game, with about 12 hours of that time just doing the story itself, so it turned out to be a long movie experience that took place for me during April 2025, which was a good break from all the other things I typically do.  And it was good for the grandkids to see me doing something besides reading books, as I’ve said before, I read 4 to 5 books a week.  Some weeks, more than that, so I cover a lot of content that is very personal.  You can’t share the content you read with your family very well because reading is such a private thing.  But ironically, there is a scholarly element to this Indiana Jones game that was very refreshing.  

The game itself is about the “giant” controversy, which I think is the most important in the world right now, the idea that an ancient race of giants who lived before Noah’s flood inhabited the earth and had a very advanced culture.  I read a lot about this evidence, and it was a surprise that the modern debate drove the game’s plot.  We live in a time when people ask tough questions, and authority figures in authority positions have been caught lying to us, right to our faces.  At the center of this Indiana Jones story are many problems that played out during the Second World War.  Playing the Indiana Jones character you get to deal with actual historic characters such as Bonito Mussolini and the obsession with the occult that the Nazis were investing in and when you put the biblical narrative of the Fallen Angels of God, the Nephilim at the heart of a massive modern conspiracy theory, you have all the contents of a fascinating story, and it was.  Because I read so much about many different topics, the story of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle felt like it was produced and made just for me, including all the items that came with the Collector’s Edition.  I spend a lot of time thinking about these things through books and online lectures.  So it was a pleasure to play a video game about that kind of storyline.  And to have the material compelling, educational, and entertaining.  The game makers really loved the story, and it showed.

They first announced this game in 2020 during the COVID-19 crisis.  I wanted to like the news, but I was so down on Disney and Lucasfilm for what they had done to Star Wars that I would have rather they just left Indiana Jones alone.  As a literary character in our culture, Indiana Jones does so many good things that I figured Disney would only damage that character, as they have so many other things they’ve mishandled.  For instance, the pressure seen on a recent Joe Rogan Podcast with the Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass probably wouldn’t have happened without an Indiana Jones character in popular, mainstream literature and filmmaking laying the foundation to apply the pressure.  So many people have been inspired by the character that they have correctly challenged established norms in a very healthy, academic way.  And when a game like this comes out and a mainstream audience plays it in such a mass way, good things tend to happen, and you see that with the questioning of independent investigators, questioning the institutional narrative of things to evoke the truth, which is what we should all be concerned about.  Stories like this light intellectual fires and usually have great significance for those who experience them.  So a game format, as opposed to a movie or a book, was very appropriate.  And I had a lot of fun with the game.  I’m glad I listened to my wife.  I like playing video games, but don’t think I’ll play them often.  But I am so happy to have taken the time to play this one, and it ended up being a positive thing for my entire family.  And I wish it could have gone on forever in many ways.  But playing through the whole story was an enjoyable experience that was a nice break from my day-to-day.  And I look forward to similar experiences to come along that kind of storytelling frontier.

A Teacher of the Year Getting 30 Years in Jail: Another cover-up case at Lakota Schools

It should be shocking, but it isn’t, as news of the San Diego Teacher of the Year Jacqueline Ma pleading guilty to sexually grooming two of her students, one 11 and the other 12 for an extended period, that Lakota schools had another incident, which was quietly wiped away from the news cycle.  Where is Karin Johnson from Channel 5?  And with that, San Diego teacher, what gave her away as a young 36-year-old prototype that was given their highest honor?  She was the kind of teacher they wanted to say to the world that she was the best, and that parents could feel safe sending their kids to her with all their trust.  Was it the nose rings?  At Lakota, about a month before Jacqueline Ma cried like a baby in front of the judge, throwing all her guilt on the table, Lakota schools had plain clothed police officers escorting out a male teacher from the East Freshman building because the mother of a young girl caught the guy watching porn with her daughter.  And previously, that same teacher had a series of complaints trying to get into the girls’ locker room, to the point that they had to move him somewhere else once people knew what he was up to.  But to keep the story out of the news and to protect the school’s image, especially with this recent lawsuit in Columbus, where Lakota, along with 300 other plaintiffs who have joined the EdChoice lawsuit, want to pretend that they are something they aren’t.  So they can keep the trust of tax-paying parents, instead of admitting what they really are, a breeding ground for Democrat politics with serious sexual deviancy issues.  The media never reports on the issue until there is a confession, which is rare.  And before action is ever taken, as in the case of the Lakota case and the San Diego case, it takes a nosy parent to ask questions and insist on an investigation, which then turns up diabolical behavior discovered too late.

It should be evident by now what is going on; these public schools only care about their reputations so they can continue to steal money from taxpayers to fund their monstrous meat factories of sexual molestation and disastrous grooming of innocent kids.  These cases are so common that, statistically speaking, if you look at those who aren’t getting caught, it’s an astonishingly high number, so much so that all students would be able to report some creepy teacher they have to interact with who has boundary problems.  The schools cannot detect it through their teacher union contracts because they don’t ask for or tell about concealment policies.  Jacqueline Ma was given everything and had an incredibly bright future if only she could keep her shirt on.  Yet she had such bad judgment that she was taking her clothes off in class to show the young boys her boobies and was sending them text messages with all kinds of incriminating content because when people, any people, get into authority positions, it is very difficult not to abuse that relationship.  Obviously, for teachers of the year like Jacqueline Ma, it was tough to keep her clothes on, and her mind out of the gutter when she had a class full of students under her power, not to abuse it.  And back to the EdChoice case in Ohio, or Trump’s position to strengthen School Choice and eliminate centralized education methods, favoring more competitive approaches, it’s because of these stories that no public schools in the country can say that they are efficiently teaching children. Instead, they are abusing them sexually and ruining them for the rest of their lives, in many cases. 

I pick on Karin Johnson because I have a history with her.  She’s always there too late and supports the public school experience with blinders on.  I know her from my WLW days, when she was friends with Scott Sloan, the radio host.  I talked a lot about public school problems on his show until Scott got in trouble with his wife, a real estate agent, and those segments on a big radio station were what she thought was damaging to the real estate value of the school districts where she was selling.  So things went south, and Karin Johnson showed herself as a former cheerleader using the news as a pro-school advocate.  Only when a story completely collapses does she do a story on these dangerous public schools.  Instead of digging up the problems, they turn their attention to the people trying to bring all this to the surface, to protect the public schools for many of the reasons that were behind WLW radio getting out of that business.  The advertisers want to think well of these schools, whether they are good or not.  And now people hear too many of these stories that they want to pull their kids out of the schools and send them somewhere private.  And they want choices in education because the public option is far from reform-worthy.  Many people who have pushed these terrible stories under the radar want the public option to work for one reason or another, psychological or financial, and it’s hard for them to face the facts.  However, parents are sick of having to do all the work, and if it were not for them, the school would never admit to these transgressions.  And everything would continue to be swept under the rug.

It’s a problem in every workplace: the abuse of power by those who have authority over others, whether students or employees.  You cannot have a system of efficient teaching when a school system in San Diego gives a teacher like Jacqueline Ma a Teacher of the Year award, because they are measuring all the wrong values.  I would have told them that the nose ring should have been a disqualifying attribute.  You can’t be Teacher of the Year with a nose ring.  And if you take your clothes off in front of your students and send them pictures of you in sexual conditions, you can’t work as an authority figure in the school.  Or like in Lakota, where these cases are pretty much daily, if you watch porn with your students, grooming them, you are fired.  And if this young girl’s mom didn’t stick her nose into the situation, that teacher would still be employed, even though the other teachers know all about the problems.  They don’t say anything because they care more about the school’s reputation.  Not in actually being good and performing well.  The public school experience is inefficient, expensive, and corrosive because it has bad teachers instructing students in vulnerable positions, doing all the wrong things.  And it’s out of control because the checks on that power are more interested in keeping the stories from the public to hide it, because of some financial or emotional interest, that they have made the problem far worse.  It’s so bad that whistleblowers, like that girl’s mom at Lakota, are viewed as troublemakers, instead of the teachers caught doing the dirty deeds.  The assumption from the public school supporters is that we should all keep in mind the greater good of public education, even if that good is only in bad teachers continuing to get a paycheck stolen from property owners for a service that is horrible in general to an entire generation of kids.  And when it comes down to it, nobody but a few parents who care are looking out for the kids.  Not the news, not our politicians, not our business world, nobody.  Not even our churches.  Nobody cares because the evil under the rug is so vast and horrible that people would rather not find out about it until some tenacious parent catches someone guilty, and they cry like a baby, hoping to get a plea deal to cut 30 years of jail down to a lesser sentence.  By that time, their lives are already ruined.

‘Revenge of the Sith’ Made 25 Million Dollars: Its all about the artist, not the product

My son-in-law said it best when we were on a family vacation in Florida and attending the Disney Parks, as we were at the Star Wars Land they have at Hollywood Studios, that Disney didn’t buy an entertainment franchise, they purchased a religion.  And they never understood it.  And you can see that with the new films compared to the ones that George Lucas directed himself, who created the franchise and sold it in 2012, with good intentions.  But honestly, and I hate to say it, Star Wars would have been better off if Lucas had never sold it to Disney.  I get why he did; he had many employees, wanted them to have something to do, and wanted to retire.  But Disney screwed up a lot with their woke politics and they significantly reduced the brand of Star Wars with their ownership.  And it has been a disaster.  Some good things happened, like their theme park presence.  But Bob Iger never understood what Star Wars was, the writers of the new movies had no idea what they were doing, and the films themselves were filled with woke ideas that modern audiences have soundly rejected.  And I have to say all that because we just recently had the now-famous holiday of May 4th, and I noticed a few things that were certainly interesting.  Primarily, the old movie Revenge of the Sith was re-released in theaters for a limited run to celebrate its 29th anniversary, and it made a really good 25 million dollars over the last weekend of April 2025.  It’s a movie that is free on television just about anytime that anybody wants to watch it, yet people were so hungry for Star Wars that they returned to the theater to see the movie one more time in actual movie theaters that says a whole lot about where people are and how valuable Star Wars is to our modern culture.

I wanted Disney’s ownership to succeed and Star Wars to be available to a new generation.  But Disney certainly screwed that up, what they have contributed to Star Wars was woke garbage that was astonishingly bad compared to what George Lucas directed.  And other people obviously feel the same way.  They aren’t rushing out to see the new Star Wars stuff that Disney produces. They rushed out to see the old movie and were quite celebratory over it.  I understand that there is real value in the old Star Wars movies. It is truly fascinating to see how corporate institutionalism, with all the money to work with, could not come close to duplicating that original magic.  But people didn’t let that stop them from celebrating the new Holiday, Star Wars Day, on May 4th, as in “May the 4th be with you.”  It was everywhere on May 4th 2025, from all kinds of surprising parts of society, especially at baseball games that now openly support the Star Wars Holiday, and people seem to really like it.  Even sports jocks like to brag about their Star Wars knowledge and are not afraid to geek out on May 4th dressing up as their favorite character.  And regarding Revenge of the Sith, it is stunning to hear how people today love that movie so much.  I remember when it came out and how people talked about it then, as well as the prequels of George Lucas in general, and I never would have thought that that movie would hold such a dear place in people’s hearts. 

But that is a testament to just how bad things are these days.  I knew it was bad when Disney got rid of the canon that George Lucas had built, leading up to the Disney merger by rewriting the history in novels, comic books, and then in the movies.  That was the biggest mistake that Disney could have made.  I said it at the time because my wife and I had personally read hundreds of Star Wars books, all of them ever produced at that time.  We tried to read some new ones under Disney ownership and couldn’t do it.  Disney was too woke to tell the story of Star Wars, a struggle for freedom from tyranny in deep space, a long time ago, and very far away.   Disney was incapable of getting it, and the story group at Lucasfilm was way too San Francisco progressive and anti-Trump to continue what George Lucas started.  That was obvious this year when Trump was back in the White House and stated how he wanted to make Hollywood great again.  Well, it starts by understanding what made it great to begin with, and clearly, people like what George Lucas did with Star Wars much more than what Disney was able to do with it.  And a sad wedge has now been introduced to the fanbase.  But this year, as opposed to the past, people are openly embracing the old Star Wars much more than just holding their nose to support the new stuff. And those very successful box office numbers for Revenge of the Sith are exciting.  People are hungry for good traditional values in the Star Wars movies.  But Disney never could get their arms around it. 

It hasn’t all been bad; a few Star Wars shows like Andor have been good.  Ahsoka is a pretty good show.  There have been a few movies there and there, like Solo and Rogue One, that were good.  But most of it has been garbage, including the most recent sequel movies.  You wonder how a bunch of people could sit in a room and, by committee, produce such garbage.  But George Lucas used to write stories in a notebook and with a pencil, a very anti-technology thing to do for one of the most technology-driven enterprises ever attempted.  It has been a lesson in arrogance, where institutionalism thinks it is superior to individual achievement.  However, with all that Disney had as resources, they could not do better than George Lucas did, all by himself.  Of course, thousands of employees made Star Wars great, but the vision started and ended with one guy.  And that’s what people wanted to see: the interpretation of an artist and their work.  Not some corporate collection of nonsense.  It’s like seeing a Picasso painting and thinking about the guy who made the art, as opposed to the same image produced by a museum committee trying to duplicate the genius of a Picasso painting.  People have voted; they love the old George Lucas stuff, but they don’t like the new stuff.  You don’t see people going crazy over the newly made Disney material.  But people will go to the movies dressed up to watch a free film that has been out for 20 years, because George Lucas, the artist, made it.  And they will spend time and money on that while rejecting the much more expensive new stuff.  And there is a lesson for the entire industry on May 4th, Star Wars Day.  Corporate collectivism does not beat individual merit, in any case.  Time in mass culture has proven that, overwhelmingly.  The artist is what people invest in, not the product or art itself.  And there can’t be any good Star Wars without the artist who created it, being the center of the conversation.  It was an experiment in entertainment that has shown a true trend that everyone should learn some hard lessons from.

The Collapsing Birth Rates in America: There just aren’t enough good men for women who want kids

Let’s face it: one of the biggest crisis issues today is that there are just not enough good men out there. Our society is not producing them, and much of that is purposeful. But we have to talk about it, and the prospect of collapsing birthrates. If you think we have financial problems now, with Social Security and the legacy costs of government employment, then just add to that the prospect of a generation in 20 years where there are fewer people in your economy to work and pay taxes to keep those benefits going. The problem is even more serious than that, but to put it mildly, we need an expanding birthing population, not a declining one. I would argue that the average birthrate per family should be much higher than that of two children. Elon Musk and President Trump are good examples of a nontraditional family approach where each man has produced many kids with multiple women, which is not what I would recommend. I like the idea of romantic love as the troubadours proposed it. But out of necessity, women who want children turn to nontraditional ways of getting there and redefining what a family is. And to understand that, we have to look for historical examples of how the Bible dealt with these problems in the past. Romantic love was an excessive luxury from a culture that could afford it. Most of the time, and in most regions of the world even to this very day, arranged marriages to secure the production of children in a family unit was the primary concern. The happiness of the participants was a distant priority. So, this notion of picking a soulmate and bonding with that person for life is a very new one. And maintaining a sexual union with that one person is an evolutionary idea, not a foundational concern. And sadly, we are seeing too many people these days having to face the music on what all that means to them.


The story of Jacob, father of the Israeli people, is a good example and the center of a lot of controversy, especially when we talk about Mormons practicing polygamy. To avoid the legal stigma of having more than one wife, people are turning to loose sexual associations within the context of mature relationships to produce children by multiple women, which is what Elon Musk has been doing. And women, if they want children from stable and good men, they have to make severe concessions to their expectations in life. And that’s how it was when Jacob met Rachel by a well and fell in love with her. Real troubadour love. And she was excited and went home to tell her family about it. But her father was having a hard time marrying off his oldest daughter, Leah. So he tricked the young Jacob by telling him to labor for him for 7 years to win Rachel’s hand in marriage. Then on the wedding night, he put a veil on his oldest daughter and sent her to Jacob to consummate the marriage. In the morning, Jacob was upset that he had not slept with Rachel, but her older sister, Leah. So Jacob complained to the father, and they made a deal. Jacob would work for the father for another 7 years to win Rachel’s hand, too. Because he really loved Rachel, he did not love Leah. But he ended up, after fourteen years of labor, having two legal wives and two concubines, one coming with each of the daughters. The women had to make all kinds of concessions to earn their way under Jacob’s roof because the value system of that time was the production of children.


One woman can only produce so many kids in her lifetime, so in families like Jacob’s, which was common in the near east and is even a common practice to this day in that region if a man can afford multiple wives, the institution of marriage is not to preserve the troubadour concept of individual love and its fulfilment to a personal journey, but the production of a large family with lots of children to populate the earth and multiply proportionally. Out of those four women, the 12 tribes of Israel were made, which created all of the Jewish people we think of now. It was complicated; the older sister, Leah, was scorned because she was unloved. She did her duty but wasn’t the sister Jacob wanted, so it was far from a happy home. And out of necessity, because there aren’t many good men today, women are finding themselves in situations similar to Leah’s. They want children, but they may not be able to afford a man of their own in the troubadour sense of romantic love, because our society has pushed that concept aside in favor of a depopulation agenda that has targeted the human race for disposal, and a biological terrorist to the sustenance of nature on earth. And that failure has left a lot of broken hearts and desperate women who have found that a career servicing the state did not fill the hole in their hearts of producing children in the context of a family they could believe in. So we are seeing the remnants of a massive social experiment that has failed grotesquely and left many people wanting, even to the point where President Trump’s three wives and children, who came from all of them, appear normal by today’s standards.


The Bible is about a lot of things, but there is a lot of sex in it. One of the more dramatic ones is the story of Abraham and Sarah, who had the son Isaac late in life. But before that, because Sarah couldn’t produce children, she wanted her husband to sleep with her handmaid Hagar, who made the son Ishmael. Isaac became the father of the Jewish and Christian people. Ishmael, the scorned son cast away once born by the jealous and regretful wife, became the father of Islam. We see how that went; the world is fighting with each other like brothers fight over a father’s love and respect. However, the root cause of the problem was that not enough good men and women were willing to make concessions to have children and build a family. And that is where many women are now, and it’s a shame. But it’s something we have to deal with to solve our birthrate problem. We need to produce more children for all kinds of reasons. And we need to do it in this generation. There was a reason that during western expansion, Americans produced big families with many children, and the Bible was a motivating factor for that belief system. And the production of children was the primary concern. The idea of romantic love and dedication came to those who could afford such an idea. But the first thing we must deal with is that we need more men who are worth building a family with. And that is the significant crisis of our time. There aren’t enough good men for women to produce children with. And that needs to change, dramatically. Oh, there are a lot of men, for the most part, one for every woman. But most of them aren’t worth the trouble, leaving women desperately struggling to make concessions that they shouldn’t have to make.

King Trump: He can stay as long as he wants

I personally wouldn’t mind if Trump ran again in 2028.  This past week, he officially put out merchandise that promoted the idea, but I think he’s just having a little fun with the radical left, who are afraid that they will never get rid of Trump again.  And that, like FDR, he might try to stick around beyond two terms, and that he’ll declare himself king.  I would be okay with Trump sticking around as long as he wants to.  I sleep better at night knowing Trump is in the White House and someone like him is making good decisions for our country.  But I don’t think Trump is all that serious about it.  I think he’d like to retire and play golf.  We are lucky to get what we have out of him, which in the end will be 12 years of a Trump presidency.  Two of those terms officially.  One of them unofficially.  But regardless of the measure, it will be a significant part of his life.  Democrats have much bigger problems besides Trump; they have made a hard turn toward open socialism, and that will hinder them from now on.  There is no longer a blurring of the lines as to where they stand, which is evident in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign swing these days.  She is the future of the Democrat Party, and she is a hard left person who won’t play well to a national audience, so Democrats have more trouble than just Trump.  But they fear that he just won’t ever go away, exacerbated by the Trump campaign merch indicating that he was already campaigning for 2028.  It will take a long time to fix the many parts of America that are broken, on purpose, by radicals we used to trust.  So I’m in no hurry to see Trump go anywhere.  If he wants to stay president for another twenty years, I’m perfectly fine with that.  I’m sure we could establish some legislative modification to accommodate him. 

But logically, we still have the unsettled matter of his stolen second term, and everything the government did to him to try to destroy him.  We’re not just talking about what he has done to offer himself to the office of the presidency, but the over-the-top attempts to kill him that took from all of us that critical second term, and inserted the loser Joe Biden in an obvious attempt to destroy our country.   People go to war over much less than what happened to Trump, where they clearly stole the election from him, put him on a plane, and exiled him from politics.  At least they tried to.  So I think everyone owes Trump some exceptional consideration.  No matter what anybody thinks about him politically, I think of him more as a reformed Democrat than a traditional Republican, but he’s a great executive.  He knows how to put the right people in place to get things done and to cheerlead things along with the power of positive thinking.  And the White House is a much better place with him in it.  I was just there a few weeks ago and can say that everything around the White House is better with Trump.  There is no way that Democrats are ever going to get the world back that they once ruled over.  Trump or not.  People picked Trump.  Trump is far from a king.  The American people wanted him, now for three elections, and they will want him as long as they can get him.  Trump can stay as long as he wants. 

Election fraud is serious business, and it has to be punished.  It’s not enough to have people sheepishly apologetic now that Trump won the election with so much support, even after all they tried to do to him, including the former VP, Mike Pence.  On that terrible day of January 6th, when the government certified that election, knowingly committing fraud, most of the key players who were involved were erased from the political landscape. People like Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, Mitt Romney, and some of Trump’s most prominent critics are no longer relevant, politically.  That is something that nobody is really talking about.  It’s not so much about what Trump intends to do or can’t do as radical judges try to stall his administration out, hoping to outlast him in Washington, D.C., to ride out the election cycles.  But what matters most is that the opposition to Trump is much weaker than it has ever been, and it had its back broken on that day of the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, during the summer of 2024.  And I don’t see it ever recovering.  Rather, the Marxist insurgency, which Bernie Sanders and AOC have always been, was smoked out and exposed.  And if they are going to win elections ever again, as Democrats, it will be under much different circumstances.  In that case, it will be the Marxist and communist crowd rather than hiding those attributes behind progressive causes that define the future of politics.  And communism isn’t something they pick for themselves.  It is something that is taken, and Democrats have already blown that.  Their coup attempt was in 2020, and we lasted through it to get Trump back.  And they have no plan B.  Trump is redefining the presidency in America, which should have been happening for several centuries now.  Nobody has quite been able to make the Executive Branch as effective as Trump has made it; we are now in completely uncharted territory.

When Trump is done, all people will want to return to the kind of president Trump has been. His media engagements.  His tireless work ethic.  He has even been involved in the NFL draft this year.  Trump is everything to everybody, and he never stops doing the job.  And people, even his political enemies, will not want to return to the purely figurehead president who sat in the White House disengaged and only there for the photo op, while the lawyers ran the world.  However, there is a big difference between a king and what Trump is.  He is a successful guy who offered himself to do a job for America.  He’s even paying for the new flag poles at the White House out of his own pocket.  A king rules through power.  Trump is a representative of the American people, picked by them to do work on their behalf.  Trump is not now, nor will he ever be, a king.  We are lucky to have him.  We are fortunate to have Melania, too.  We are lucky to have the American system produce good people who can afford to represent us in the White House.  And I want Trump to do that job as long as he wants, forget about the norms.  Forget about the political theater of the media rat race, where they perpetually talk up candidates and make money off the advertising for new political offices.  I want someone to do the job, and Trump has set a new standard that Democrats will never be able to live up to.  Even Republicans will struggle to find someone as charismatic and practical as Trump.  And we are a much better country with Trump in the White House, which I would like to see extend well beyond 2028.   But I don’t think it will, by Trump’s own choice.

Why is the Supreme Court Chicken: Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum

To understand why the Supreme Court is so soft on backing Trump’s deportations of illegal immigrant gang members, I think we need to understand the old story of Freemasonry regarding the killing of Hiram Abiff, or Chiram Abiff as the story is told in very esoteric circles.  Hiram was the masonic architect of King Solomon’s temple and was murdered by three ruffians while ascending the temple steps.  The murderers wanted the secrets of a Master Mason, and Hiram refused, so he was assassinated by Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum.  These three characters represent the mob, the church and all its superstitions, and the state and its rule over people by fear.  The mob always kills off a dynamic challenge to a static order, for which corruption profits.  The mob is the face of preservation of static human concerns.  Freemasonry aims to shed attachments to the material world by ascending the steps of wisdom.  It is always these three aspects of human existence that sabotage effort.  That was certainly the case with Pythagoras, as he was said to have been killed by the mob.  Socrates was killed by the state to preserve the mob, calling it the corruption of the youth, to teach what he was teaching.  Of course, there is Jesus Christ, who was killed by all three, just as Hiram Abiff was.  Jesus was disruptive to the static order, so he was eliminated.  And we could continue through time to tell of many stories where people were killed for disrupting those social norms, which very evil, materialistic people, sought to preserve with violence.  And this cycle continued until President Trump escaped an assassin’s bullet, which missed him during a big rally in Pennsylvania on national television.  And upon that moment, a significant psychological change occurred, because it was the first time that mass populations saw a miracle like that, where the hand of God preserved with a miracle a chosen disrupter to an evil system ruled by those three killers of Hiram Abiff. 

Never forget who the mob picked in the story of Jesus; they did not choose to save from Pontius Pilate the wonderful son of God, Jesus Christ.  No, they picked Barabbas, the criminal, to save—Barabbas the thug, who was just like the mob.  As history thinks of people, it values the mob, the mob of communism, Marxism, and socialism, who rule through violence and chaos.  And the reason that secret societies formed in the first place was to preserve the mystery schools in pursuit of wisdom and knowledge, and that the only preservation method was to die for a cause at the hands of the mob.  The mob destroyed the famous Library of Alexandria and a connection to ancient wisdom there as well.  The three killers of Hiram Abiff rule the world, not the lofty exploits about self-rule that American society intended to utilize out of a philosophic enterprise of a New Jerusalem, the rebuilding of the temple for a third time in the New-Old world, where the garden of paradise could flourish.  We created a Supreme Court to preserve these lofty assumptions, and when you go there and spend some time, as I have recently, you can feel the intent.  But these are only human people in these positions and when you have senators like Chuck Schumer advocating for the mob to kill members of the Supreme Court, that old instinct for self preservation takes over and the Supreme Court members lose their spine and faulter, which is why the Masons have their initiates go through the story of Hiram Abiff at the 3rd degree. 

However, America is also the land of the Second Amendment for preservation against mobs.  Political figures have always used one of those three murderers to preserve their hold on static society, pushing either mob anger, superstitions from the church, or fear from the power of an all-mighty state over its subjects.  The Second Amendment was meant to break that power over these vast evil forces who whisper in the ears of the powerful for chaos, which always follows their efforts with great malice and evil enterprise.  When people can shoot back at these forces, it takes away their power, so there are always campaigns to eliminate the Second Amendment from its Constitutional stronghold.  And as the story should go with Masons, Hiram Abiff should be more like President Trump, and kill the killers, rather than sacrificing himself in favor of wisdom, but without putting his arms around violence.  The way to beat the bad guys is not to make peace with them.  But to take the fight to their doorsteps, which is what Trump is doing by deporting illegal aliens.  The open border movement has wanted to use the fear created by gang members to undermine American society with a military incursion designed to scare people into submission.  This is also why senators like Schumer and others have gotten away with trying to incite a mob against members of the Supreme Court, so that they don’t lose their control over society by instigating the fear of violence.  If people shoot back, they won’t be afraid, so of course, Democrats wrapped up in such a scheme of evil will not want people to be able to defend themselves from Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum.

We give the Supreme Court a lofty office, but they are only human.  They have families and constantly fear one of those forces coming to destroy them.  So, in the case of this deportation issue with Trump, they have to show neutrality for their self-preservation.  Even though they know that Trump has vast Article II powers granted by the Constitution to protect the border, they fear the mob’s reaction and want to create at least an appearance of impartiality, to appease the malcontents trying to stoke violence on their doorsteps unless they rule in favor of evil.  Of course, this is judicial tampering, but what does evil care about preserving the rules?  About living in a civil society when they genuinely want to destroy it.  This is the same strategy as we saw with Roe v. Wade. Have we learned who leaked the pre-released decision to the public?  The Supreme Court is buying time before its ruling, hoping to take the edge off the potential for mob violence.  And it’s a problem as old as time itself.  Trump, for his part, is a new figure in history, who survived the plotting exploits of mob violence, because the assassin’s bullet missed on live television, and Trump’s reaction to it, with blood streaming down his face, changed history.  Because in the world’s ways, a world leader showed no fear of Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum, but instead fought back.  And that is why we are deporting illegal immigrants who are designed to overthrow our country with chaos and the violence of gangs of thugs.  Trump promised a war against the cartels, and he is doing it, without fear.  And those who need the gang violence to terrorize people, so that the mob can rule, so that superstition can rule, and so that the state can rule with fear, they aren’t happy with Trump.  And the Supreme Court is scared, like the Israelites were when told to fight the giants in the Promised Land before they were penalized for 40 years in the Wilderness for refusing to put on the armor of God, and to trust that God had their back.  Until Joshua did as God intended and did trust that he would be preserved, no matter how bad the odds became.  Trump is a similar character, and the spell is being broken.  But it takes courage to put on the Armor of God and endure the hostile elements always looming in the background.  The Supreme Court has to find the courage to do what’s right.  And they know it.  It’s easy to talk tough.  It’s not so easy to be tough.

The Bible is Making a Comeback: Democrats have been advocating for the spread of evil, but they are losing

It’s very impressive to see, but in 2025, the box office performance of King of Kings from Angel Studios and The Chosen: Last Supper has shown that people really want movies that resonate in value.  Even better, Bible sales are doing very well, and a new trend that is very good is emerging.  With Trump in office, people are feeling a lot less secular.  Probably the best thing that could have happened toward any Christian-based movement was the near assassination of President Trump on live television for everyone to witness.  It was clearly a miracle that Trump was not killed and was a great example of what putting on the armor of God really means, which is very specific to the Western civilization Bible as a general theme.  Do not worry about being outnumbered.  Fight anyway and don’t worry about being killed or punished by the mob.  God will have your back.  And when Trump survived the assassination attempts in 2024, people saw what they could only explain as the hand of God, so they are turning toward religion and away from secular influences now more than ever, which I think is a good thing.  Over the years, I have generally had tolerance for other religions and the people who come from them.  So long as people work hard to be good.  But this secular God hating movement that we have been dealing with in America has not been acceptable, and I have never liked it or supported it.  Being mindful of other places in the world that do not have the benefit of biblical scholarship is not the same thing as being anti Bible, and we have seen from God hating Democrats the truth of their position as hosts of evil, and people have been miserable because of it.  One of the most essential things that Trump has done so far as a president, both past and present, is restore to society a love of religion as a guiding principle and put his arms around celebrations like Christmas and Easter. 

Hollywood has been anti God for many years, but ironically, the best material they have produced has had great respect for the Bible, such as The Ten Commandments, and Little House on the Prairie.  I was surprised to see that mainstream actors gave voice to the Angel Studios film, The King of Kings, because typically, actors are afraid of being blacklisted by other studios, for religious involvement.  That’s how bad it’s been, so it is pretty remarkable to see the great box office performance of these Christian films get mainstream Hollywood support for a change.  It’s not just the impressive money that they are generating in theaters, but in the acceptance within the culture of Hollywood itself that has shifted.  It’s not an accident that Mark Wahlberg and Chris Pratt are openly praying to Jesus, both A-list actors who are purposefully not running from God, so these are significant shifts in culture that ultimately is the best way to fight the vast evils of the world that have been hiding behind polite society.   People are willing to pay good money to see a story about Jesus that they have heard repeatedly during the Easter season of 2025, which shows how much the shift in entertainment has moved in a positive direction.  It starts with a president not being afraid to express faith openly, but with people witnessing a miracle with the assassination attempts.  And for answers, people are turning back to the Bible for context, which is excellent for perpetuating American society.   America was built on the Bible, and to keep it sustained, religion has to be at the core of the belief system of a majority of the people. 

Even more, the Amazon Prime project House of David has been hovering around number two among all the streaming options on that very popular platform, and it has been a surprise hit for them.  It’s not a surprise that The Chosen director Dallas Jenkins has been an advisor for the story of the rise of King David and his season 1 fight with the famous giant Goliath.  People watching the show are surprised by the Game of Thrones level of political intrigue attached to King David’s life.  Only that is real; the Bible is part of history and not a fictional story like The Game of Thrones, so it has much more meaning.  People are finding that they love biblical stories.  It’s true, they are very compelling, even among all the world’s religious doctrines.  The Bible, which came from the Jewish and Christian faith, is very persuasive as a work of literature.  When Hollywood worked best, it used it as its storytelling foundation.  When they have been at their worst, they worked to undermine it in American culture with a desire to secularize the people toward evil intent.  And that has not been something that people wanted to experience.  People wish for lofty, value-driven characters in their stories and turn to these Bible films and streaming platforms for content far better than what the studio system of Hollywood has been giving them.  And theater owners are happy to see a little light at the end of the tunnel.  The central breaking point was COVID and the anti-Church lockdowns we all experienced.  Rather than break the foundation of religious faith, the crises drove people more toward the arms of God in day-to-day considerations. 

It also helps that there have been real commitments on the museum front with The Ark Encounter in Kentucky giving people a real amusement park experience with biblical content.  Then, of course, I was so excited about the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C.  From many independent sources, we are seeing a replacement of the evil worshipping culture of Hollywood with a faith-based entertainment movement that is not running from God, but to him.  Now that there are good examples of how compelling stories can be told visually from the Bible, more and more creative types are moving in that direction.  After The Chosen is finished with Season 7, and Mel Gibson does his sequel to The Passion with The Resurrection, which I think will be fantastic, Dallas Jenkins is turning to the subject of Moses, which will be from his hand, incredibly powerful.  I would even throw in the very popular video game, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, in for good measure, which is a very mainstream game that is one of the most popular out there right now.  Its central story objective deals with the giants I always discuss and their relationship to humanity as Watchers before Noah’s flood.  So the Bible is undoubtedly making a comeback where it had been looking to be shoved out of every entertainment venue with a communist push to eradicate it from our culture.  But it’s not just alive and well, but thriving in ways many thought they would never see.  However, I would say that we are seeing just the tip of the iceberg here.  There are a lot of compelling stories in the Bible, and there is a lot for creative types to work with now that they have seen what success looks like with the examples mentioned here.  And I think Bible stories will become the norm, not the fringe.  And that the garbage that Hollywood has been producing will continue to be rejected at the box office in favor of more Bible stories and the sales of the most popular book the world has ever known.  A new generation is putting their arms around it, which is very good for the future of civilization.
