News Weakly - 1/4/2025

Over-Thinking
Paul tells each Christian "not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think" (Rom 12:3). Biden apparently never read that. He is touting five accomplishments he achieved in office, including navigating the pandemic (the vaccine was available before he took office), the appointment of Ketanji Brown Jackson (the judge who couldn't tell you what a woman is), student loan forgiveness (which the courts stopped multiple times), and the economy (which was so bad that it was a primary factor in getting Trump elected). Nice try, Joe, but ... no. Wait! Unless he made the economy so bad Trump got elected, and that was his accomplishment? No, I doubt that's what he meant. (As an aside, what are we going to do without Brandon to kick around?)

Jimmy Carter, RIP
Former president Jimmy Carter died at the age of 100. You may have not been impressed with him as a president. You may have disliked his politics, but no one can question his humanitarian work, and that is his most vivid legacy. Rest in Peace.

Anti-Murder Regulation
In New Orleans, a driver intentionally drove into a crowd on Bourbon Street during the New Years Eve celebrations and killed 10 people, injuring another 30. The event echoed a a similar event in Germany last week just before Christmas. Lawmakers are scrambling for new automobile regulation to stem this new tide of mass murders by car. Oh, wait, no ... for some reason that's not happening.

The Real Story
This week there was a mass shooting outside of a Queens nightclub, another mass shooting outside of a Montenegro cafe, the discovery of 150 homemade bombs at a home in Virginia, along with the New Orleans car attack now labeled a "terror attack" that caused, among other things, the postponement of the Sugar Bowl, a suicide by exploding Tesla Cybertruck and, obviously, more. Some think it indicates the need for better gun control. I'd suggest there's a much, much bigger problem, and it is not that "people are basically good."

Your Most Trusted Source for Fake News
On the passing of Jimmy Carter, the Bee reports that Biden has finally claimed the title of worst living president. Of course, at the same time, we learned that Jimmy Carter will not be attending Trump's inauguration. That's gotta hurt. Finally, in order to further their "sanctuary state" status, California has announced mass deportations ... of U.S. citizens. You know, to decrease the invasive influence of American culture and all. Nice move, Mr. Newsom.

Must be true; I read it on the Internet.

That man and his staff have been divorced from reality for a couple years now. I can't tell you how many times I saw the meme of the cartoon dog sitting at a table with a cup of coffee while the house is burning down around him and he is saying "everything is fine". Inflation has been at an all time high for years and they're touting Bidenomics. There's an invasion of millions of people and there's nothing we can do about it, oh well. Thousands of allies died in Afghanistan and who know how many Americans, and they're claiming that nobody died in foreign conflict in their entire 4 years. The pandemic where all the solutions were false and killed more people than it saved and tanked our economy, but hey, he navigated is out of it, some how. And the list goes on.

Jimmy Carter, RIP
He was prominent before my time, so I don't have much to say.

Anti-Murder Regulation and The Real Story
All we need is a 1984-style many state... Oh wait, that wouldn't even work because humans aren't even close to basically good. And no amount of authoritarianism can change that, just ask China.

It's hard to say, Biden certainly was doing his best to take that accolade before Carter died. How very rude of those Democrats not to attend Presidential inaugurations. Such sure losers, as if being dead has been a valid excuse for them, I mean, look at Biden, he's been front and center for years despite his obvious demise. Newsom is just accelerating the will of the people anyway. He saw the writing on the wall with the mass exodus, might as well finish the job so that California can finally go back into Mexico's hands like they always wanted.

Yeah, Joe Biden is thinking waaay too highly of himself.

Jimmy Carter was another celebrity I “met” while working at Princeton University, when he and his daughter Amy toured the campus (and came through my building) while she was college hunting (she selected another school in the end). I am not able to judge Carter’s presidency, but I would like to think he was a true believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, although I’ve seen many reasons to question that as well. I’ll give him “humanitarian” and “family man,” for sure.

Not only did Biden's student loan forgiveness not extend nearly as far as he promised, he just cancelled another round last week.

More like 5 failures.

I feel for Carter's family and friends, and appreciate his charitable work, but the continued attempts to turn him into Saint Jimmy are a little over the top. He seems like a reasonably good man who got in way over his head and gets a lot of passes on stuff. I'm more in the don't bash him and don't canonize him crowd. It is safe to say that he is responsible for Regan getting elected...

The video of the NO police chief talking about the portable barriers that the installed after the attack, and acknowledging that they had them available bit she was unaware of their existence makes me feel bad for the citizens and visitors to NO.

Watching incidents like the ones you mentioned, going back to the parade incident in WI a year or so ago, that don't for the "White conservative extremist with a machine gun" narrative is very instructive as to the workings of the MSM and leftists in general.
