Partisan Politics and the Road to Plutocracy – Economics from the Top Down In this essay, I take a deep dive into the history of American plutocracy and its conspicuously Republican roots.

Here is credible scientific research regarding the ACTIONS of Republican led state legislatures that reveal their plutocratic intent to enrich the rich and endow the privileged with more power.

OF THE EMPIRE
-Mary Oliver
(Part two)
We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers.

All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity.

OF THE EMPIRE
-Mary Oliver
(Part one)
We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many.

Eleanor Duffield asked me to share this January 26 sermon by Mindy Douglas. Sermon at 25:41. Eric, the cantor, is excellent also just ahead of the sermon.

Notice anything in this picture?

J. Gordon Kingsley, said, a leader's role is β€œto learn the song of the tribe in order to sing the song of the tribe so that others can find their place in the song and together write the next verse.” He refuses to sing it. I will remember the true song of the tribe.

The Army of God Comes Out of the Shadows Tens of millions of American Christians are embracing a charismatic movement known as the New Apostolic Reformation, which seeks to destroy the secular state.

This article in the Atlantic highlights the idolatry of the evangelical right and their threat to democracy.

Important read.
