When You (Try) To Ignore God
I read a fascinating article yesterday about Gen Z and money. It paints a picture of hopelessness, describing Gen Z’ers as “doom spenders,” and uses other unhappy words like “disillusionomics,” “economic nihilism” and “money dysmorphia.” It paints a picture of a hopeless generation. I wrote about it just before Christmas. I discussed then that the mindset not only lacked hope, but gratitude for what they did have, and that both hopelessness and ingratitude were rooted in the absence of faith.

The Last Step
The host’s interview of the President a couple of days ago was great. (video…transcript) The interview opened with Iran. Much has happened in that repressive nation since and it puts the President’s statements in that interview on the line.

When Stupid Reigns
While we are “celebrating” the anniversary of fires, we cannot forget the Moss Landing fire of last January in Monterey County, CA. Unlike the wildfires of Southern California, this was a “Battery Energy Storage System” (BESS) fire – basically an EV fire writ large, and we all know how very nasty those are. Inextinguishable they must be contained and left to burn themselves out and they leave behind a toxic, nasty mess. Moss Landing has become one of the bigger project of the E.P.A.’s list of clean-ups. And yet, the installation of these type of facilities continues apace.

California’s New Normal – That Should Not Be
Pretty much everybody but the rabid few figured this out by end of day yesterday, The Veep had it right, so I think we can set the Minnesota thing aside for now. Yesterday also marked the beginning of the “days of mourning” as it marked the first anniversary of the first day of the devastating Southern California wildfires. And largely that is what is happening – mourning. Churches are holding services of remembrance, media is full of anecdotal stories of loss and lives forever altered. And there is nothing wrong with any of that, but something is missing – the other side of that equation is strangely quiet. They are still talking about rebuilding and community spirit, but little is actually happening.

Refusing Good News
It has been reported for at least the last twelve hours that the city of Abdanan in Iran has fallen to the protesters and is no longer in the control of the Mullahs and the IRGC. Sources as reliable as the Majority in the House Foreign Affairs Committee are reporting it and FoxNews has picked it up. Smaller internet sources are reporting it. But I cannot find a breath of it on any of the major news sites, foreign or domestic, other than Fox – not a hint, not a rumor report, nothing. I get it, the reports are unconfirmed and typically the Mullahs let protesters have their way for a while before they crush them – but never in the history of the Islamic Republic have protesters seized a city – this is news. And it is not being reported.

Consequences, And The Lack Thereof
Mark Kelly, after participating in the heinous “unlawful orders” video, censured and perhaps losing rank and retirement benefits from the Navy. Oops. While you are free to speak your mind, there may be consequences. Of course, this being the modern world, I doubt this move will mean much to Kelly personally. I would imagine his Naval pension is an insignificant portion of his income and this will only bolster his support among the left-wing “base.” But, unlike so many idiots that have come before him, he faces consequences for his actions. If only we could be consistent about it.

The Actual Stakes – Finishing The War on Terror
The strategic implications of the US capture of Maduro are reaching much farther than most people imagine. The mainstream media is so blinded with Trump hatred that they cannot see what a brilliant stroke this actually is. There is more than one way to win a war. Reagan/Bush won the Cold War in a way I never could have predicted and did not foresee. I think Trump may be doing the same thing with the War on Terror, begun by Bush 43, which like the Cold War before it has been dismissed and not prosecuted by intervening administrations.

The Source of Corruption
I entered the weekend expecting to write this Sunday morning, the first of the new year, about how alike Christian ministry and politics are since both require that you first raise money and how often that unfortunate fact results in corruption. Not to mention the deep confusion between religion and politics that haunts us. And then the capture of Maduro happened and the weekend fundamentally changed – the world fundamentally changed. But has this post changed? Not as much as you might think.
