Understand Your Mission
If we learned anything from the pandemic it is that science is not our savior. It can be wrong. Moreover, science does not consider everything. While it projected deaths and disaster, it failed to account for what would come from the social upheavals created by our efforts to stave off its projections. We learned that science is but one tool in the leadership arsenal and we learned that somethings are simply beyond science’s ability to get right. Putting man on the moon or nuclear weaponry are relatively easy problems compared to the science necessary to deal with things like epidemiology or climatology. Big data statistically analyzed is not the same thing as the physical certainty of a pitched baseball. But some, it seems, have not learned these lessons.

Jason Whitlock: The NFL is the new church — and it’s preaching identity politics
Americans no longer go to church on Sunday — instead, they gather around the television and turn on the National Football League — which couldn’t be making its devotion to blatant corruption and devotion to identity politics clearer.
And BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock believes that this is all born out of the same belief system as the Somali day-care fraud in Minnesota.
“I’m going to connect what’s going on in the National Football League to what’s going on in Minnesota with Somalians and child day care and all this corruption we’re seeing,” Whitlock explains on “Fearless.”
And that he does, as according to Whitlock, there are two major competing ideas in America.
“There is the Trump movement and Make America Great Again competing against Barack Obama and his movement, hope and change. That’s the dichotomy we have going on in America,” Whitlock says.
“If you talk to the everyday people that believe in the MAGA movement, again, they long for a more biblically based world and culture. It’s not saying they’re perfect Christians. It’s not saying that they’re not filled with sin and flaws like everyone else. But they want a return to traditional values and a code of ethics and some morality to be a part of American society,” he continues.
On the flip side, those who follow Obama’s “hope and change” are “far more secular” and believe that we need to do something new and different because “America’s founding was corrupt, it was immoral, it had slavery.”
“And the NFL … has chosen a clear side. The NFL is pro change. The NFL does not want to look back. It wants to look forward. It wants to make America anew,” Whitlock explains, pointing out that the NFL even has a new slogan: “Inspire change.”
“The National Football League is America’s religion right now. People used to gather up on Sundays in churches all across America. Now we spend a lot less time in churches, and we spend a lot more time in the church of football on Sundays,” he says.
“The National Football League is our national religion,” he adds.

Blocking ICE with ‘micro-intifada’: Good’s group taught de-arrest, cop-car chaos before her death
A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot anti-ICE activist Renee Nicole Macklin Good last week in Minneapolis.
It is abundantly clear, thanks in part to the multiple videos taken of the Jan. 7 incident, that: Good was blocking traffic with her vehicle in an apparent effort to interrupt a federal law enforcement operation; federal agents repeatedly ordered Good to exit her vehicle while her romantic partner issued derisive comments nearby; Good ignored the lawful orders and accelerated toward an ICE agent; and the ICE agent opened fire in self-defense as Good drove into him.
‘Each one is a micro-intifada which can spread and inspire others until we may finally shake off this noxious ruling order all together [sic].’
Despite all the evidence to contrary, Democrats and the liberal media have worked overtime to portray Good as a blameless victim of a callous federal agent. This task will likely be more difficult in light of new findings concerning the radical nature of Good’s anti-ICE group and its embrace of a “micro-intifada” stratagem.
Local sources recently informed the New York Post that Good was an anti-ICE “warrior” involved in an “ICE Watch” group dedicated to tracking and disrupting immigration enforcement operations as well as other law enforcement initiatives. The group also has a history of doxxing federal immigration agents on social media, providing illegal aliens with tips on how to evade arrest, and pushing leftist calls for revolution.
Neighbors told the Post that Good regularly attended the local chapter’s meetings and received “thorough training” from the radical group.
Homeland Security sources not only confirmed Good’s association with the group to Fox News but indicated that she had followed ICE agents to multiple locations before her fatal encounter last week.

The specific group to which Good apparently belonged shared various pieces of leftist agitprop and radical literature to Instagram, including a “de-arrest primer,” reported the Post.
The subversive instruction manual, which was apparently published in 2024, advocates for “pulling and pushing an officer off of an arrestee and/or breaking their grip on an arrestee”; helping arrestees escape by carrying handcuff keys to protests and opening the doors of law enforcement vehicles; and “totally surrounding the officers who have the arrestee or otherwise blocking them and/or their vehicle.”
“A hostile crowd at protest that’s shown its willingness to act often makes officers think twice,” says the manual.
The manual also features an image of masked radicals interfering with a fellow traveler’s arrest. The image is captioned, “Each de-arrest is a ‘shaking off’ which is to say each one is a micro-intifada which can spread and inspire others until we may finally shake off this noxious ruling order all together [sic].”
Good’s anti-ICE group makes repeated references in other posts to engaging in an intifada, an Arabic term meaning uprising that is often associated with violent radicalism.
In a Sept. 10 post, for instance, the group shared a graphic advocating for the globalization of the intifada, stating, “We call to resist colonial and imperialist oppression in all its forms, transcending borders in our unified struggle for our collective liberation.”
