Conservatives, Gā’ôn, and the Garden

April 6, 2024 By Martin Thomas Johnson

This week was another disgraceful week in conservative politics, a day after celebrating Easter, the backstabbing and greed in the GOP took stage. A Congresswoman from my home state continued her attacks against the speaker of the house because he didn’t bow to extremist demands within the party. News also broke about another conservative congresswoman being drunk at citizen Trump’s Christmas party and his security stepping in to keep her away. It seems as though conservatives’ thirst for power... Read more

The Cross, ‘Ặnāvâ, And Trump Media

April 4, 2024 By Martin Thomas Johnson

As we put Easter in our rearview it seems the world continues to descend into utter chaos, senseless shootings, massive earthquakes, and severe weather are taking lives more and more. Some 2000+ years later, the message of the cross isn’t what it was before Jesus conquered the curse from it. Traditionally the Old Testament tells us someone guilty of a crime worthy of death, they are to be executed and hung on a tree. The body must be buried... Read more

The Via Delarosa, Yagah, And Easter Sunday

March 31, 2024 By Martin Thomas Johnson

This week has been a difficult week for people around the world. The news has been full of stories about suffering. Many Gazans are starving to death. Here at home, a tragic bridge collapse not only killed six people, the area is struggling to deal with travel without the iconic bridge. My family is originally from the area and my uncle lives 20 miles from the bridge he once traveled every day to work at the Naval Academy. He shared... Read more

Passover, Pešaʿ, And Good Friday

March 27, 2024 By Martin Thomas Johnson

This week most of the news is about former president Trump. His quest to make bond to stay out of jail and keep his buildings has divided conservatives and the country even more. His hush money payments to a porn star have been welcomed by those who claim to love God. Even more troubling is the trial for his involvement in the J6 insurrection has been delayed. Despite claiming to be a party of law and order, it appears nothing... Read more

Purium, šāma’, And Palm Sunday

March 23, 2024 By Martin Thomas Johnson

This week saw a shocking twist amongst conservatives in the GOP-led house. There was a major betrayal within the power-hungry MAGA faction as a member called for the removal of the current speaker of the house who was doing the right thing—his job! For weeks the government has been trying to agree on a budget to keep the federal government funded and working without causing any hardships. The border crisis has been a concern for many Americans and the speaker... Read more

Christian Nationalism, Hēp̄eḵ, And Christianity

March 20, 2024 By Martin Thomas Johnson

Three months into the year there has still been no movement on the Texas border crisis, although it has dominated the news headlines, it is still just a big mess. Almost 2 months after the bill’s introduction, the GOP-led House still hasn’t brought a vote to the floor. While Speaker Johnson claims to be doing God’s work, yet, the truth is he’s only bowing to and following former president Trump. Deception Abusing power Uncompassionate Despite all of this conservatives believe... Read more

St. Patrick, Mirmâ, And Maga

March 17, 2024 By Martin Thomas Johnson

Today millions of people are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day; a day honoring the sacred Saint who brought Christianity to Ireland after serving there as a slave. Legend has it that he drove snakes out of Ireland and used the Shamrock to explain the Trinity. There’s no evidence of him chasing serpents out of the country, it is believed that he exposed and exiled fraud and corruption from the nation. He died serving God by establishing churches throughout Ireland. His story... Read more

The GOP, Hāmās, Lent And Lies

March 13, 2024 By Martin Thomas Johnson

This week there has been lots of negative fallout over the GOP’s response to the president’s State of the Union. I chose not to watch the rebuttal live because I knew it would directly attack and contradict everything the State of the Union presented to the American people. A Republican Senator chose to give her statements from her home kitchen which disappointed both Republicans and Democrats. Her sense of humor fell flat on both sides of the aisle. From... Read more

The SOTU, Ra’ , And Celebrating Lent

March 9, 2024 By Martin Thomas Johnson

This week millions of Americans came together to watch the 2024 State Of The Union speech by Pres. Biden. I had no plans of watching it, because I knew there would be a disgraceful clown show. I honestly hate politics and try to focus on serving and pleasing God over man and myself (Proverbs 16:7.) However, my plans changed as I felt led to watch the president’s speech. I have heard conflicting opinions about the president’s speech; my view is... Read more

The Supreme Court,Dereḵ Ha’Yashar, And Super Tuesday

March 6, 2024 By Martin Thomas Johnson

This week has been a mind-boggling week already; many conservatives are showing their true colors and what they value most. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of former president Trump remaining on the Colorado ballot. The court’s decision wasn’t based on the former president’s actions at all. The decision was based on whether or not the state had the right to remove citizen Trump from the ballot. Numerous states are protesting the former president because of his actions surrounding the January... Read more
