Remember all those who freaked out when Trump announced the MOU 60 day ceasefire by calling it ‘end of war’.

He’s now switched the narrative again over the last couple of days to ‘the war in Iran’.

On both, don’t take Trump literally but take him seriously. It’s not about rhetoric. It’s about the endgame.

[Richard Greig @RichardGreigII]

@seanfeucht How can such outrageous claims not be fact checked by Tucker and his guests. At the least they lack the integrity to endure what they say is truthful and at most they’re trying to deceive folks with their pro-Islam agenda.

[David Limbaugh @DavidLimbaugh]

It seems the growing chasm between the right and the woke right approximates that between the right and left and in some sense exceeds it because the left doesn’t masquerade as conservative and the woke right is undermining Trump from inside the tent.

My favorite Donald Trump quote is still "it's not whether you win or lose; it's whether you win."

[Richard Greig @RichardGreigII]

@MahyarTousi I’m a supporter of President Trump but this is a bad look for him. I can’t imagine him taking it much longer. Even when he tries to calm the global markets the IRGC act up. They have to be dealt with and not with this weak MOU. The look is that the U.S. has to give but not Iran.

[Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow]

What about the Iranian people?  We promised to help them.  Among other things, we should have armed them (the Reagan Doctrine).  What now?  Anything?  The MOU is silent.

What about the Lebanese Christians, who have wanted to be rid of Hezbollah for 40-years and take back their country from Iran?  The MOU ensures Hezbollah's (meaning Iran's) continuing control over that country, and existential threat to Israel.

[Richard Greig @RichardGreigII]

@TousiTVOfficial Objective from the U.S. should be to bomb Iran to cripple them and their ability to close the strait. This is getting old.

@TousiTVOfficial @MahyarTousi Wouldn’t it be good strategy if U.S. and Israel kept taking out these hardliner IRGC leaders?

[Tousi TV @TousiTVOfficial]

Tousi TV spoke with Crown Prince @PahlaviReza today about the developments unfolding in Iran.

The world's attention is focused on negotiations. The real story is what is happening inside Iran.

The regime is weaker, more divided, and facing deeper internal fractures than at any point in recent years. Deals may dominate headlines, but history is often decided by what happens on the ground, not at the negotiating table.

The future of Iran will ultimately be determined by the Iranian people.

3 Things on Iran Deal:

1) The ultimate goal is unachievable. Almost none of us wants to do anymore Middle East nation building. So uprooting the demoniacs in Tehran was never happening this round. Not because we couldn't do it, we could've probably done it in 30 days or less, but because (just like in Afghanistan and Iraq) it's what comes next -- filling the power vacuum in a heavily sectarian foreign/Muslim country -- that almost none of us wants to relive. I certainly don't want my enlisted son-in-law risking never seeing his children again for a deployment protecting a sandlot in Iran. Or my son drafted into such a prolonged conflict. Doubt I'm alone.

2) Because of how much the Iranian Regime has been decimated to at least some significant degree, this was already going to be more successful than any previous Iran Deals. Sight details unseen. That's even before we get to Trump's track record on deal-making compared to his predecessors.

3) That all being said, there are risks to this as well. Precisely because they are the demoniacs our talking points claim, you cannot negotiate in good faith with such fiends. Therefore, whatever the actual terms happen to be is not nearly as relevant as our willingness to enforce them. These demoniacs will most assuredly test us in that regard. We've plucked a lot of weeds out of the lawn over there. It's looking much greener than it was before after our military mowed it. But weeds are pesky things, and tend to come back. We're probably going to have to mow the lawn over there again. And maybe again, and again. But I think we all prefer repeating Operation Midnight Hammer to Operation Enduring Persian Freedom.

@seanfeucht The sad and pathetic thing is the MLB would never do this to other religions, such as Islam.

“All the little stuff, the spoons in the sink, the dishes on the table, the clothes on the floor, and there not in the laundry basket, like who cares? Who cares? Your husband’s alive. Go and run up to him. Give him a kiss. Write him a note for his lunchbox, like just love on them. This life is so short and you are so blessed to be able to still have that.” What a devastatingly beautiful message. 😭 I’m so sorry Erika! 💔

MY REVIEW OF DISCLOSURE DAY -- A DIRECT ASSAULT ON CHRISTIANITY (AND SPIELBERG'S WORST MOVIE)

Because of how intentional I believe this film is in attempting to deconstruct Christianity, and because I want to warn people about not seeing it, this will be a very spoiler-filled review. You have been warned before proceeding further.

This review will be done in two acts: 1) the worldview of the film, 2) the quality of the film. Neither will be positive.

Disclosure Day's Worldview
This is a rather blatant attempt to evangelize into a new religion. In many respects, the transition Steven Spielberg makes from his 1970s classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind, to now Disclosure Day, is very similar to what you see from a lot of the prominent UFO/alien obsession proxies like Dr. Steven Greer. At first they start off in wonderment about what else is really out there in the cosmos and whether we're alone in the universe (or Close Encounters), but they always eventually end up at the aliens are really our saviors to show fallible human beings the way to salvation (or Disclosure Day).

If you only see people like Greer or Luis Elizondo on cable news networks, you'd think they're just scientifically inquisitive and want "the truth to be told." But if you watch their documentaries, as I have, it becomes increasingly obvious they are really selling a religion. Greer is basically just a wannabe prophet of the non-human intelligence phenomena as deliverers at this point, and Elizondo is on his way there by angrily dismissing the possibility this is all just a demonic spiritual deception (as he did in last year's The Age of Disclosure documentary).

Here are some examples of how this film head-on intends to deconstruct Christianity (in chronological scene order):
--The main character's love interest, who is now his admitted fornication partner, is a former nun. She specifically tells him early in the film she left the convent behind because "I lost my belief that God is divine." Hold on to that language later, because it's going to put everything else I point out next in its proper context.
--When the shadowy agency conducting the decades-long coverup attempts to use alien technology to subvert the former nun's consciousness and turn her into a traitor, she grabs her crucifix and tries to invoke its power to resist the alien tech -- to the point she essentially stigmatas herself. However, the crucifix is rendered powerless in the face of the superior alien technology and thus she is given over to it.
--The entire story is unfolding under the backdrop of pending nuclear war and planetary annihilation (between the US and Russia, of course, because apparently it's still 1985). In other words, we are in the end of days and lost as a species unable to save ourselves. We need a salvation we cannot acquire on our own.
--We learn the aliens specifically chose a male and a female to be the "vessels" at the vanguard of this next step of our evolution. Which the aliens are here to guide for us, of course. It is eventually revealed the male is given mathematic revelation (or logic) and the female empathy (or nurturing) -- with the female's gift depicted as superior in its intensity. Or a divine feminine.
--The climax of the disclosure broadcast occurs when the largest of the aliens is brought in by several humans in what is basically a gestatorial chair, which he emerges from to pronounce blessings upon the new Adam and Eve with a priestly whisper in his native tongue of clicks and tones (I guess Latin would've been too on the nose). The whisper is translated for all of humanity into the final line of the film: "Listen." Some might say sort of like, "Let those with ears to hear let them hear."
--Though the film makes it clear the climactic day of disclosure is being felt globally, the only religion wrestling with it is Christianity. At the convent we see several of the nuns desperately clinging to their Rosaries looking for guidance, while the Mother Superior lets out a wry smile in approval of the coming syncretism. No other religion is even depicted, let alone shown to have to grasp with the significance of all this. Why is that? All the potential answers to this question are bad. Though I'd love that to be the case, Christianity is not the only global religion on this planet. Furthermore, the only Christianity depicted in the movie is Catholicism.
--Now, back to the smiling Mother Superior at the end of the movie, and the former nun saying she lost her belief that God is divine in its opening act. The movie says this at the same time it makes it clear humanity needs saving, and the former nun also makes the case that even though she doesn't believe in God anymore the world needs that belief to maintain any form of order. Enter the aliens, who check all the boxes of what is required. They are sinless, while we are not. They have knowledge kept secret, that we do not. They are the only ones who can share such revelation with us, we can't acquire it ourselves. And by embracing this singular truth mankind can be saved, because we can't save ourselves.

If all that's not a religion, I don't know what is. If all that's not a direct attempt to redirect Christianity, I don't know what is. Marcion, Arius, and Pelagius were more subtle.

Quality of Disclosure Day Itself
Thankfully, this movie is also not very good. Had it been executed better, we might really be in trouble as a people here. It's the worst movie Spielberg has ever done.

The film doesn't really have a plot, but is just one long chase scene of not believable things. Like we are supposed to believe a nerd who admits he was never in the field before this, is now able to suddenly drive cars at high speed through houses and evade the world's most effective private security firm that has successfully protected this secret for over 75 years. We are supposed to believe if you hide behind rocks just five feet from that same organization's operatives they won't look for you there, or hear you running away in the woods as you step on branches. In another scene the "good guys" use the alien's invisibility technology to escape, but for whatever reasons turn on the sirens of the firetruck they're in so now "the bad guys" know they're there. Finally, we are supposed to believe that same shadowy organization ejects and just angrily gives up at the end without a fight to permit disclosure day to happen, even though they could've just pulled out their guns and shot everybody there before the cameras went live.

You make these kinds of continuity and believability errors when you're more about the message than the movie. I recognize it, because it's why Christian movies were so bad for so long. More concerned with checking ideological boxes and shoehorning in favored tropes over telling the best possible story. Spielberg made mistakes with this film he would've never made before as possibly the greatest director ever. And we see a lot of left-wing Hollywood making this mistake nowadays. The industry has lost patience with subverting us with good stories over time, and it's now just knocking on doors and putting their pitch right in your face like the evangelists they are.

Consider it a blessing that America's greatest director cast his pearls unto swine by shrouding all this deconstruction and deception within a hot mess of a film -- otherwise we might've had a real birth of a dangerous cult on our hands. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

[Richard Greig @RichardGreigII]

@TousiTVOfficial Trump is doing a good job confusing us all whether he really thinks a deal is the end goal or a means to destroying the IRGC. I hope and pray it’s the latter. Even if IRGC ever agreed to a surrender deal it would be short lived once a new president is sworn in 2029.

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

THIS IS INSANE. The California Post just exposed how election representatives in Los Angeles went out to Skid Row and PAID homeless people to vote for Karen Bass. They gave these people a couple of bucks, said 'sign here,' and boom, another ballot. One homeless woman said these officials collect votes 3 TIMES A WEEK.

It's infuriating to see how the government is preying on these people, asking homeless addicts to sell their birthright for TWO DOLLARS. Everyone in California should be outraged.

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

The SAVE America Act NEEDS TO BE PASSED. Trump just announced that it was put in a $350 billion budget reconciliation bill, Recon 3.0. We can argue about the military funding (I think Trump can and must rebuild our military to be as cutting edge as possible), but the Save America Act is a MUST.

Susan Collins just flipped, so Republicans have 50 votes. PASS IT. Get rid of the zombie filibuster, which isn't even a law. It’s just a Senate “rule.” WE HAVE THE VOTES. Call your Senators and tell them to pass the Save America Act NOW.
