  1. Now it’s Tony Evan’s’ time in the barrel. He’s stepping “away”because of “sin.” https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/dallas-county/oak-cliff-bible-fellowship-church-senior-pastor-tony-evans-stepping-away/287-2a83f54a-870c-4df3-acda-045cfd2c54e1 DALLAS — Tony Evans, who has served as the senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship Church for nearly 50 years, announced at services on Sunday he would be stepping away from his duties. In a statement, the church said this decision was made after multiple meetings between Evans and the church elders. The elder board is obligated to govern the church in accordance with the scriptures," the statement reads. "Dr. Evans and the elders agree that when any elder or pastor falls short of the high standards of scripture, the elders are responsible for providing accountability and maintaining integrity in the church." In a written statement to the church, Evans said the foundation of the church has been its commitment to the word of God as the absolute supreme standard of truth to which they are to conform their lives. "When we fall short of that standard due to sin, we are required to repent and restore our relationship with God," Evans wrote. "A number of years ago, I fell short of that standard." Evans said that, while he hadn't committed any crime, he hadn't used righteous judgment in his actions. Evans added that Pastor Bobby Gibson and church leadership would keep its members informed on how things will continue moving forward. "I have never loved you more than I love you right now, and I’m trusting God to walk me through this valley," Evans concluded. "Thank you for your love, prayers, support, and forgiveness as I continue my spiritual healing journey."
  2. Right-wing media reckoning: https://www.yahoo.com/news/wing-media-reckoning-outlets-pay-130040167.html Right-wing media that became purveyors of misinformation and amplified false claims as Donald Trump undermined the results of the 2020 election are finding themselves on the losing end of legal challenges — or facing new ones. In just a few months, a handful of high-profile fringe media operations have been hit with courtroom losses. The Gateway Pundit, an influential far-right news site, filed for bankruptcy in April in the wake of defamation lawsuits that said the company suggested election workers committed fraud during the previous presidential election. That same month, voting machine company Smartmatic reached a confidential settlement in its defamation suit against One America News Network, which allowed false election fraud claims on air, while its pending defamation litigation based on similar vote-rigging allegations continues against Newsmax as well as Fox News, which is being sued for $2.7 billion. Both Newsmax and Fox News deny Smartmatic’s allegations. Fox News last year paid another company, Dominion Voting Systems, $787.5 million to settle a defamation lawsuit. The network did not admit to any specific claims. In May, “2000 Mules,” a book and film by right-wing political commentator Dinesh D’Souza, was pulled by the publisher, Salem Media Group, and the company issued a public apology to a Georgia man who is suing the author and publisher on defamation claims after he was accused of ballot stuffing. That case is still ongoing. Other conservative media outlets that had promoted right-wing misinformation in the 2020 election are facing financial troubles unrelated to those events. This week, conspiracy theorist and Infowars host Alex Jones agreed to sell off his assets to satisfy $1.5 billion in defamation judgmentsrelated to the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. Jones earlier warned his company could shut down.
  3. Trump doesn’t put gas in a car. What does he care? Im still amazed he thinks it’s okay to publicly admit crazy shit like this.
  4. What makes his fate so satisfying is he brought all of this upon himself. All of it.
  5. Thirty years ago, this guy would have been able to walk right into the job he thinks he’s entitled to, because there would not have been much competition from non dominant culture candidates with corporate Intel experience and Masters degrees
  6. This is a fascinating read: I risked my life serving my country in Iraq... but now I've lost my job at a bank because I'm a white man https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13497647/Iraq-veteran-Ally-bank-job-white-supremacy-diversity-North-Carolina.html
  7. Chief of biscuits is a slimy old grifter
  8. What does involuntary celibacy have to do with my question?
  9. Why would Biden being old and capable be less important that his just being old?
  10. Again, Pope Francis is old and enfeebled, but that hasn’t stopped him from becoming perhaps the most consequential pontiff since JohnXXIII. Biden’s mental acuity and cognition are fine. His experience on the world stage well positions him for such a time as this.
  11. This guy obviously was not aware that Chief Justice Roberts declared this kind of stuff no longer happens. https://www.yahoo.com/news/white-dad-stops-daughter-shaking-210553499.html A white dad rushed the stage and pushed the Black superintendent out of the way so he couldn’t shake his daughter’s hand during her high school graduation yelling ‘I don’t want her touching him.’ The shocking incident took place Friday at Baraboo High School in Wisconsin - the same school that drew national headlines in 2018 when a photo emergeddepicting several current and former students doing the Nazi salute. Graduation footage from last week shows the man, whose identity has not been reported to protect his daughter, coming onto the stage as his daughter shook school officials’ hands. As she approached Superintendent Rainey Briggs, who is Black and was hired in 2021, the man jumped on stage and grabbed the superintendent by his arm and dragged him away from his daughter. “That’s my daughter,” the man says, according to footage of the ceremony. “You better get up off me man,” Briggs can be heard saying as the two went off camera.
  12. While it might be impolitic to actually say what a lot of people are thinking, I think honesty demands it. Most, if not all of the black people I know are accepting of interracial relationships. What tends to set people are those black conservative politicians, who while living and working outside of the black cultural footprint, have the temerity to lecture black people about the lack of family cohesion. It’s interesting to note that most of the biscuits who fit this description marry or date exclusively outside of the race. I’ve often wondered why that is. I think it’s deeper than acknowledging that people can connect on many levels unrelated to race and culture but the numbers themselves require examination. Byron Donald’s, Clearence Thomas, Mia Long, Candace Owens, Tim Scott, Daniel Cameron, Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, Wesley Hunt, John James, Harris Faulkner, Hershel Walker, the list goes on. Ben Carson is the notable exception
  13. It must be painful to be as dumb as coach Tuberville.
  14. So true. The new Dems are bad asses.
  15. Well, we’re not called Howdy Arabia for nothing: https://www.yahoo.com/news/nightmare-texas-couple-navigating-miscarriage-121839082.html
  16. Jasmine is coming on strong, but it’s a joy to watch Swalwell drag Gym Jordan for points
  17. Swalwell is the baddest GOP ass dragger in the House.
  18. True and thanks. Sometimes when referring to butter biscuits, we use the abbreviated term with the understanding that the butter part is understood. I’ve known of that biscuit since he tried to hem up a friend of mine in a Project Veritas sting in Dallas several years ago.
  19. The black guy in this shot is a biscuit from Garland.
  20. If this unthinkable happens and felon Trump wins, sadly most, if not all of those countries will create some diplomatic exemption that will allow felon Trump to enter.
  21. We have more uniformed DPD officers patrolling our campus on Sundays than most entertainment venues have on weekends. It’s kinda disorienting and comforting at the same time.
  22. Now it seems Rafael Cruz’s favorite news source is in trouble: https://www.thedailybeast.com/feds-accuse-far-right-newspaper-epoch-times-of-being-a-money-laundering-operation The chief financial officer of The Epoch Times has been indicted for his alleged participation in a $67 million money laundering scheme that involves the far-right newspaper. In an indictment that was unsealed by the Southern District of New York on Monday, Bill Guan was charged with one count of conspiring to commit money laundering and two counts of bank fraud. Each count carries at least a 20-year prison sentence. While the SDNY noted that the charges “do not relate to the Media Company’s newsgathering activities,” the indictment makes it clear that Guan’s alleged scheme “benefited a multinational media company” and included a “Make Money Online (MMO)” team that helped pad The Epoch Times’ bottom line. “In or about 2020, the Money Laundering Scheme caused tens of millions of illicit dollars to be transferred into the Media Entities’ bank accounts. In fact, that year, the Media Company’s internal financial accounting reflected an increased annual revenue over the previous year of approximately 410 percent—from approximately $15 million to approximately $62 million,” the indictment reads. “A significant portion of this increase was attributable to the Media Company’s Foreign Office, including the MMO Team, which was managed by WEIDONG GUAN, a/k/a ‘Bill Guan,’ the defendant.”
  23. It will be a damn shame if she tanks what is to me the second most critical of all of his cases. The fact that it is a very real possibility is beyond words.
  24. Gene Getz was a very popular evangelical pastor/author in the 80’s and 90’s. In his best selling book, The Measure of a Man, he tells his evangelical readers the best way to get a true reading or insight into a person is to understand what the people at home (those who know him best) say and think about him.
