On numerous occasions, Jesus promised us, His followers, that we would be hated. That is something we should expect and even embrace. Let’s just be sure we are hated for the right reasons. Being hated for the wrong reasons is not something to be embraced, let alone celebrated. Jesus said, “You will be hated by everyone because of Me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved” (Matthew 10:22). But note those words “because of Me.” We will be widely hated because of our association with Him, because of our preaching in His name and because...

Democratic Congresswoman Nikema Williams introduced a bill to ban President Trump from entering the U.S. Capitol building for the rest of his life. Introduced January 13th, the concurrent resolution seeks to “direct the Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives, the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate, and the United States Capitol Police to prohibit President Donald John Trump from entering the United States Capitol at any time after the expiration of his term as President.” Since its announcem

Amazon, Apple, and Google have all acted to shut Parler down supposedly because it hosts calls for violence, but a simple search of Twitter shows that it regularly allows such calls itself.Twitter hosts a #KillTrump hashtag. In all of the glorious English language there is no clearer, plainer, or shorter way to call for violence than the word kill followed by someone’s name. But there it is. One of these tweets reads “#ArrestTrump not enough #KillTrump.” And this isn’t new, back in June the hashtag #AssassinateTrump was bouncing around the website with gems like “Someone take this clown out NOW.”...

Impeaching President Trump stands in “direct opposition to what President-elect Joe Biden has been calling for all year” and will “only lead to more hate,” Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) said on Tuesday. “President Trump has eight days left in his term and has promised a smooth and peaceful transition of power,” Scott said Tuesday evening ahead of the Democrats’ plans to proceed with considering articles of impeachment against Trump.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - The storming of the U.S. Capitol is a jarring but natural product of years of violence and hateful rhetoric stoked by disinformation and conspiracy theories, experts on far-right extremism said as they pored over images of Wednesday’s riot. Members of far-right groups, including the violent Proud Boys, joined the crowds that formed in Washington to cheer on President Donald Trump as he urged them to protest Congress’ counting of Electoral College votes confirming President-elect Joe Biden’s win. Then they headed to the Capitol. Members of smaller white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups also were spotted in...

Make Hate Speech Great Again Posted onWednesday, December 30, 2020 by Douglas WilsonIntroduction Charles Spurgeon once said that when God begins to work, it always looks more like an undoing than a doing. And this is why I have decided to try cheering everybody up with a little cultural analysis in the recon postmillery line. So if we really want to know what to do in these troublous times, we really need to hang on to our mercies. As Spurgeon said in another place, “If we cannot believe God when our circumstances appear to be against us, we do not...

We have been discussing student editors and student government leaders using their positions to retaliate against the exercise of free speech by other students with the support of faculty. This trend is hardly surprising as journalism deans call for censorship and journalism professors call for the rejection of neutrality in the media. Universities have generally remained passive as students and faculty harass and punish those with opposing views. The latest such example was detailed in a column on the site College Fix on how students at Cornell University moved to oust student representatives who voted against disarming and defunding campus...

Sunday I am wildly dizzy. Just really dizzy. I know why. It’s because in my lifetime, I have seen the people of this great country elect a president and vice president who are explicit fans of the worst anti-Semites in the public forum we have ever seen. Yes, Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris are open, smack-me-in-the-face fans and boosters of a certain Rev. Warnock, who is a wild Jew-hater and admirer of the worst Jew-hater ever in American history, Louis Farrakhan. This means we have a fully racist, anti-Jew administration in 2020. And they were elected by a huge majority...

“Lord, give me the confidence of a mediocre white man.” That phrase, coined by writer Sarah Hagi in 2015, elicited millions of flickers of recognition and launched a million tote bags. Ijeoma Oluo untangles that charged irony in her searing new book, along with its perilous implications.

Mamadou Ba, head of the Portuguese “anti-hate” group SOS Racismo, spoke of the need to “kill the white man” at a recent online conference on “hate speech”. Ba, a Portuguese citizen originally from Senegal, attended the conference on Saturday which was on the topic of “Racism and the Advancement of Hate Speech in the World”. During the conference, which was attended by Portuguese speakers from Portugal and Brazil, Ba stated “it is necessary to kill the white man, murderer, colonial, and racist” to “prevent the social death of the black political subject”. According to a report from Portuguese daily newspaper...

I don’t understand why this election is even close. Donald Trump draws huge crowds whose energy and enthusiasm is palpable. When Joe Biden ventures from his basement, the handful of onlookers not only look bored, they look like they may have been paid to be there. In a normal election, even a hint that a presidential candidate is showing signs of dementia would be lethal. A credible accusation that a candidate may have traded access for dollars would be impossible for the candidate to ignore. So why are polls showing Joe Biden in the lead? The answer, I am told,...

Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) said Tuesday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that President Donald Trump’s rhetoric has caused hate crimes to increase “exponentially over the last four years.” Cooper said, “When you heard the crowd at President Trump’s rally over the weekend, chanting “lock her up” referring to you— I don’t know if it surprised you given all you have been through and come to expect— but the fact that that’s where this has sunk, and the president still continues to attack you in the wake of this is stunning

A renowned Japanese jazz pianist has been robbed of his ability to play his instrument after he was attacked by eight teenagers at a train station in New York City. Tadataka Unno, 40, who may never be able to play the piano again, was exiting the West 135th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue subway station in Harlem on September 27 when the suspects blocked the turnstiles and confronted him. The musician attempted to walk around the group, but was yelled at and pushed from behind. He was eventually punched in the face and body. According to Unno's wife, racial slurs...
