News Weakly - 7/19/2025

A Passing
John MacArthur went to be with the Lord this week. No humor or sarcasm. He'll be missed, but he's with His Savior.

This Means War?
The news says that Russia intentionally struck a Polish-owned factory in the Ukraine. Read that again. Poland is a member of NATO. So Russia struck a NATO factory. Before we get our knickers in a twist, remember, they've done it before, including a Boeing plant in Kyiv. So let's hope cooler heads prevail and the media doesn't push a war between NATO and Russia.

In Stitches
The new movie, Lilo & Stitch, became the first 2025 movie to cross the $1 billion line. So? The movie is about a Hawaiian girl named Lilo who befriends ... an intergalactic fugitive. The creature is portrayed as a remorseless troublemaker who only Lilo likes. Which, of course, is a great role model for the kids who are watching and laughing. Because we can certainly expect Hollywood to give our kids quality role models, and Hollywood is pretty sure parents won't care.

Wait ... What??
The public believes the Epstein files implicate Trump, so ... Trump has called on the Department of Justice to ask a federal court to unseal the transcripts. Wait ... what? Doesn't seem like Trump believes it will hurt him. Strange.

They Have Tourists?
In a stunning move, North Korea has banned foreign tourists at their newly opened beach resort. Mind you, I didn't know tourists were allowed anywhere in North Korea ... or were stupid enough to go anyway, but ... oh, wait. Yeah, they'd be stupid enough.

Your Best Source for Fake News
Congressional Republicans are celebrating the passage of a spending bill that they proudly hail as "cutting $9 billion in spending" ... although the bill adds $3 trillion to the national debt. Hey ... that's not funny. True, but not funny. In the UK, Muslims are demanding the voting age be lowered to 13 so their wives can vote. Only seems fair. Finally, a terrifying new study has revealed that people are still getting vaccinated for COVID. Seriously. Terrifying. Mind you, the CDC claims it doesn't prevent it, you can still spread it, and you can still die from it, but ...

Must be true; I read it on the internet.

A man greatly used by God, and now he gets to be with Him.

This Means War?
Like you've said before, the news media are terrorists, striking fear into the hearts of citizens. I'm not sure which is worse, the Muslim terrorists that want to instill fear because they think that's what Allah wants, or the news media that instills fear because that's they purpose.

I'm Stitches
I thought Lilo was supposed to be the role model in her understanding of those are different and her reforming of Stitch.

Wait... What??
I find it hard to believe there is anything incriminating about Trump in those files on the simple fact that the Biden DoJ didn't say boo about it for four years, but they did dredge up something he was accused of doing over 20 years ago by a person that can't actually remember when or where it happened, or convicted him of an unspecified crime with no victim. But they totally knew he was guilty of sex with minors but they never brought it up.

They Have Tourists?
The only kind of "tourists" I could think that would go to North Korea are evangelists and humanitarians, and I don't think they're spending much time on the beach. I mean, who wants to go visit a country that could potentially arrest you for nothing and can barely feed it's own people, let alone tourists?

As we've seen various lights of the left wing/progressive world die over the last few years, most conservatives have the decency to at least go through the motions of offering condolences. As we just saw up here, GOP lawmakers praised the slain representatives for their character. Strangely enough, someone like McArthur dies and the hatred and vitriol come right out.

The Epstein thing is just bizarre, Trump and multiple of his "team" have insisted on releasing the files, which shouldn't be that hard, yet after months it hasn't happened. Lies, excuses, and BS abound but no files. This should have been an easy win for the administration, yet they've turned it into a loss. It's no shock that Trump and Epstein crossed paths, they clearly ran in the same circles. So the existence of Trump's name in the files is likely nothing of consequence. What an unnecessary joke.
