“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!

Peace to the brothers, and LOVE with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Eph 6:23

The two busiest days of the year for atheists are Christmas and Easter. While they were doing everything in their power to make sure Easter is wiped from the public mind, they were making sure everybody was forced to worship Earth Day. Fundamental atheists have instituted their religion as the National Religion of America under the guise of science and environmentalism. While they were making sure ever Easter egg hunt is called a Spring Sphere hunt or simply a Spring Egg hunt these pagans were worshipping Gaia and forcing kids in schools to worship it too. What next a Mother Earth Egg hunt?

Atheists have to do everything they can to eliminate Christianity from the American mind to promote their ultimate god, Gummit. Of course they like the tenants of their worship of Gaia hid behind the cloak of Saving the Earth, but their ultimate goal is the enslaving of people to an overbearing communist dictatorship where they would be in control.

The beauty of their plan is you naturally have people worshipping the earthen gods and then you couch your goals in protecting the environment for the rest. When you don’t have a definition of what protecting the earth means then you can have free reign for your definition to enslave the dissenters.

Christians by definition do not worship the earth and have been called to be stewards of it. This means rather than turning their lives over to the earthen gods like Gaia and Baal they are to manage and harvest the earth to God’s glory.

Christians by definition are the Conservationists who will use and care for the environment to keep it in balance according to God’s calling. Christians are to grow crops in abundance as well as use the minerals and resources God provided on this great miracle he provided called the Earth and its abundance. Throughout history when man followed God’s plan and developed and managed his resources things went well for man, when he fell into the trap of worshipping the Earth like we are now, not so much.

It is no accident the schools were celebrating Earth Day which is a mask for the celebration of Russian leader Lenin’s Birthday. Those who created this day were solid commies as are those who promote it in the guise of environmentalism. This religion is built on the ability to make people believe they can make a difference by treating the earth like a fragile piece of glass who live in fear of breaking it.

If they can make the worshippers believe the slightest chemical in the air or water will destroy the earth, they can own them. Once they own them then their real god, government will own them too. This is the goal of Earth Day to make people believe they can become good people by not adding to the destruction of the earth so they will go to that giant recycling center in the sky.

Once the kids and people are converted to earth worshippers they can own them by excusing every dictate as a means of protecting the earth.

The commie left has been using this tactic for decades and is why we are in the economic/political mess we are in now. They have used earth worship to control the use of energy by outlawing drilling for oil, digging for coal, building nuclear, natural gas, solar projects, geothermal projects and the burning of any fossil fuels.

They have done the same for farming, fishing, home building and every other manufacturing job. Basically, they use Earth Day to shut down every free market industry to make us slaves to them, to own us.

The irony is managed resources are more environmentally healthy than the wild state the earth worshippers dictate. The animal life around oil pipelines, oil drilling rigs, reclaimed mining operations and managed forests are far more abundant than their fallow natural state. People and industries that develop these resources are more closely tied to those environments and will do whatever necessary to manage them properly. They truly become stewards of these resources and maximize the biological abundance making for a healthier land. While the earth worshippers claim to be helping the forests and animals they are only using them as props to promote their real agenda which is control of the people and the trees, animals and environment suffers.

In reality these environmentalists are politicians who have found a religion to make the masses follow their form of dictatorship. They are the equivalent of Jim Baker and Tammy Faye only on a massive scale who has found millions of willing dupes in search of religious fulfillment through the worshipping of the earth. This religion is as old as the rocks, trees and moon but pulls men and women in time and time again.

The fact you get some charlatans like Algore and Goldman Sachs who can put a hundred million tithes in their own offering plates makes the worship all the more beneficial for them. We have to break our chains of these false prophets and go back to the one true God to worship our Creator who gave us Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Going back to being stewards of our resources rather than worshippers of them is how we can rebuild our Shining City on the Hill. Let’s celebrate Easter rather than Earth Day.

Happy Easter

From my AI discussion:

BUTCHER'S THUMB — April 5th, 2026

This Easter Sunday, the butcher’s thumb shows up in how each network arranges its moral‑authority guests, national‑security voices, and 2026 election framing. CBS leans pastoral and institutional, Fox leans national‑security contrast, NBC leans establishment politics, ABC leans election‑administration narratives, CNN leans Democratic messaging with a NASA‑tech sheen, and Bartiromo leans oversight plus strategic depth.

FACE THE NATION (CBS)
CBS is running a “governance + moral authority + institutional analysis” hour. Wes Moore provides the Democratic executive voice. Archbishop Broglio brings the Easter‑Sunday moral‑leadership segment. The panel — Walter, Sanger, Mason — is CBS’s classic institutional trio.

What to watch:
Whether Brennan uses Broglio to frame the hour around moral leadership or pivots back to politics and global affairs.

FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network)
Fox is running a “Senate contrast + Democratic counterpoint + media analysis” hour. McCormick anchors the Republican national‑security lane. Auchincloss provides the Democratic counter‑voice. The panel mixes ideological contrast with media‑industry analysis.

What to watch:
How Bream positions McCormick: policy explainer or 2026‑cycle messenger.

MEET THE PRESS (NBC)
NBC is running a “Senate + House + Democratic coalition” hour. Kaine provides the Democratic foreign‑policy lane. Lawler gives NBC a moderate Republican voice. Khanna adds the progressive‑Democratic perspective. The panel is NBC’s standard institutional mix.

What to watch:
Whether Welker lets Lawler and Khanna clash directly or keeps the hour centered on Kaine’s framing.

THIS WEEK (ABC)
ABC is running a “House leadership + national security + election administration” hour. Jeffries anchors the Democratic leadership lane. Turner provides the Republican intelligence‑committee voice. The elections panel signals ABC’s focus on 2026 voting‑systems narratives.

What to watch:
Whether ABC treats the elections panel as a standalone block or folds it into a broader 2026 narrative.

STATE OF THE UNION (CNN)
CNN is running a “technology + Democratic messaging + mixed‑ideology panel” hour. Isaacman gives them a NASA/tech segment. Warnock provides the Democratic leadership lane. The panel blends Democratic messaging, GOP strategists, and national‑security communications voices.

What to watch:
How Tapper/Bash uses Isaacman: standalone NASA briefing or pivot into national‑security themes.

SUNDAY MORNING FUTURES (FNC)
Futures is running its signature “oversight + strategic depth + moral authority” hour. Crawford and Van Duyne provide oversight lanes. Rayburn brings Middle East expertise. Cardinal Dolan adds the Easter‑Sunday moral‑leadership dimension. The panel — Melroy and Cassidy — ties space, defense, and national‑security capabilities together.

What to watch:
Whether Bartiromo uses Dolan as the anchor voice or as contrast to the oversight and national‑security segments.


Ecosystem Summary
This week’s lineups are built around Easter‑Sunday moral framing, national security, and 2026 election positioning. CBS leans pastoral and institutional, Fox leans national‑security contrast, NBC leans establishment politics, ABC leans election‑administration narratives, CNN leans Democratic messaging with a NASA‑tech angle, and Bartiromo leans oversight plus strategic depth.

Excellent! Mother earth is not to be worshiped for sure and your quick analysis of:

their ultimate goal is the enslaving of people to an overbearing communist dictatorship where they would be in control.

basically says it all.

No matter what the con, be it earth worship,govt. worship,devil worship, or whatever the latest con is by the hard left/evil of the planet we are up to the task of what the left always hates:

TRUTH.

Whoa!! Thanks so much! Between you and AI we are off to a brilliant start.

From my(alas babylon) AI discussion:

BUTCHER'S THUMB

— April 5th, 2026

Heres a small part of it:

This Easter Sunday, the butcher’s thumb shows up in how each network arranges its moral‑authority guests, national‑security voices, and 2026 election framing. CBS leans pastoral and institutional, Fox leans national‑security contrast, NBC leans establishment politics, ABC leans election‑administration narratives, CNN leans Democratic messaging with a NASA‑tech sheen, and Bartiromo leans oversight plus strategic depth.

It's pretty clear week after week that the driveby nets of abcbsnbcnn are all invested in the weekend chatting(talking) points of the DNC. We diagnose them here and add mightily to the news. Much of which they leave out.

One of the bigger stories this week is how our troops rescued a downed jet pilot who was stranded in lower Iran. Reports were locals and terrorists were hot on his trail and wound up being taken out by our forces.

Make no mistake about it our fighting forces are the best assembled by our president in the history of the world. There are none finer than our fighting forces.

MSNOW weirdos had their panties in a wad this morning. Really disgusting Trump hatred this morning in reaction to the joyous rescue of a downed soldier and Trump’s reactions. MSNOW needs to clean house...

Should be an interesting day given the great news that greeted us all this morning. I cant wait to hear what fascinating quotes Temu Barry spews out,he’s so pathetic he can only manage a word coleslaw,sound bites in tiny shredded pieces.

Once again an excellent,thought provoking essay that is filled with truths the left rejects. Is it any wonder they live in a world of delusion? They have nothing but empty souls and easily malleable minds.

Our war fighters ARE the Best!!

Trump: “We got him!” after the WSO from the F-15 was rescued. He did a good job evading with Iranians in hot pursuit & it evidently was quite the rescue operation (some folks claiming it will be a movie one day).

Contrast this to Benghazi & the execrable President, Secretaries of State & Defense at that time who left Americans to die.. Truly, with Trump, it’s ‘no man left behind” & what a comfort it must be to our fighting men & Americans in general to know this President will make sure every effort is expended to bring you home. God Bless Predident Trump, all who serve in the military, & America. Happy Easter to all.

I think I will watch a little of their tantrums this morning before we head out to the family gatherings. The wailing and gnashing of teeth is sometimes soothing. Weird I know, but it reminds me that we are WINNING. Bigly.

I doubt MSNow ever cleans house. As long as they have big pharma paying their way they are viable. They are just another driveby channel. Much worse than others but basically worthless. Their numbers are insignificant.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!! It appears that are military has found their misplaced cajones and put a small but incredible show for the sand mites and their sponsors. The pendulum has finally swung toward the light of truth. After so many years of corruption infesting our military with a WOKE mentality, our military is becoming the beacon of hope and honor. What an incredible achievement of search and rescue performed by the best of the best. God truly guided them to victory on the day of resurrection no less! Happy Easter Sunday

(some folks claiming it will be a movie one day). I agree with that an excellent movie as long as the lefties don't reinvent it. Once again we have had so few casualties,lost equipment or problems in this war,other than drones, it's historical. No one has ever fought such a one-sided event.All the disaster is on the Iranian terrorists spawned by the mullahs.

We need to remind everyone that the mullahs have spawned terror groups all over the world. Once we degrade them,take their money away,and hopefully get true regime change we will have done the world a huge favor.

It also pays to ask questions like how could the CIA not create freedom fighters in not only Iran where 40,000 were recently slaughtered, but in Cuba and Venezuela as well.

The CIA had 40 years to create opposition in all three of these countries and what did they do? It's a sad commentary on an intel agency that desperately needs reinventing.
