What I'm Reading

Editor's Note: Today I received notice that this May 15, 2026 "What I'm Reading" post was deleted because it violated Blogger's standards, which they never explain. Do not delude yourself into believing the wokesters are being purged from these organizations.  RK

Here's a thought or two to ponder.  As we watch all the international intrigue playing out I think this is a question that needs answering, Why Stay in NATO if Europe Isn’t Willing to Help Us?  

When looking at the two parties coming into the 2026 midterm elections I think this is valid observation, Republicans are Dysfunctional; Democrats are Totalitarians.   However this Republican midterm is sort of a political safari. They're hunting RINO's, and that will continue in 2028.

Most of today's links highlight what's going on in both parties.  The fight over Massie and Cassidy has brought all the wrong people into the forefront in defense of these RINO's, like Mitt Romney. 

For over 20 years I've decried all the hysteria regarding Anthropogenic Climate Change.  It used to be Global Warming until there was no warming, then it became Climate Change.  The twisted logic, lies, scientific fraud, and failed predictions has finally caught up to them.  But here's the question that needs asked and answered.  If the bugman could find the information that showed it was all a fraud, how could all these political leaders, academics, and so-called scientists not be able to find it?  Ideology!  They believed because they believed, except for those who actually were behind this scare mongering.  They knew they were lying.  We have to question everything, and we need to follow the facts no matter where they may lead.  Make no mistake, if the bugman says something is a load of horsepucky, it's a load of horsepucky.

Religion

1.  Growing Number of Americans Say Religion Gaining Influence in Society

Susan Quinn over a American Thinker posted this article, People are returning to church, on May 15 and I posted the comment below.  

While I’m a firm believer that a return to the Judaic/Christian principles and practices is essential to turning the nation around, I have misgivings. I have to wonder if the leaders of these churches a capable of doing that. What are they’re teaching? What do they believe? Do they even believe in the Bible and God?

Churches across the West are twisting themselves into shapes no apostle would recognize — bending like pretzels to please a secular society. "They update doctrines, rewrite homilies, and water down long-held beliefs, all in hopes of attracting people who rarely show up anyway".

Now the Church of England has chosen its new leader: Dame Sarah Mullally, "hailed as a “theological liberal” and celebrated for her progressive stances. But it raises a fair question: does the Archbishop believe in the Christianity she is meant to lead, or only in a softened imitation of it?"  Since it's clear they don't believe the Bible is God's word, perhaps they should be asked if they believe there is a God? If people are what they do, then their actions say ... no!

Catholics aren’t the only ones hedging on leftist heresy such as abortion, the United Church of Christ called abortion health care. One rabbi claimed his religion made him pro-abortion. M. B. Mathews says, American Churches are Killing Christianity. There’s a reason why public trust in churches has fallen.

As for me, I hate throwing a wet towel on this very positive article, but I consider myself optimistically pessimistic at the outcome.
