rightwingwatch--2020-12-22--Rick Scarborough Warns About the Dangers of Allowing Children to Believe in Santa

Radical right-wing pastor Rick Scarborough used this week ’ s episode of his “ Mixing Church and State God ’ s Way ” podcast to warn Christian parents about the dangers of allowing their children to believe in Santa Claus .
Scarborough said that when his children were young , it was fun for them to believe in Santa , but as they got older Scarborough began to struggle with it because he knew “ that sooner rather than later , I ’ d had to confess that we ’ d all been lying.
” “ Here ’ s where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continue to embellish what I knew to be false , ” Scarborough said .
“ At the very time they were reaching the age of accountability—around seven and eight years of age , when a child can be saved—they would discover that the one who had been encouraging them to believe in Jesus was the same one who lied about Santa .
That pierced my heart to the core as a father.
” “ Consider how many of our children walked away from their faith .
And could it not be that we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their young minds when we lied about Santa Claus ?
” he wondered .
“ After all , if you truly look at what we proclaim about Jesus , about the sovereignty of our Lord , and about who God is , it takes a leap of faith to believe it .
If the authority figure in your life has been lying for years about a Santa Claus figure who has all the attributes of a god , how can you really trust him to be telling you the truth now about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Some interesting facts about Santa to consider , ” Scarborough continued .
“ First , his name is spelled with the exact same letters that spell Satan .
Coincidence ?
Perhaps , except I do not believe that anything with God is accidental or coincidental .
Perhaps you ’ re thinking , ‘ Well preacher , you ’ re way too uptight about this.
’ Well just continue to listen and let ’ s think it through .
Secondly , Santa is given all the attributes of God .
He is omniscient ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doing .
He ’ s omnipresent , allowing him to be in every [ home ] simultaneously around the world in a single night .
And he ’ s omnipotent ; there is no toy that he can not create and provide out of thin air if he decides the child is worthy of it .
The only problem with this is it ’ s all a lie .

And could it not be that we were planting the seeds of doubt in their young minds when we lied about Santa Claus?” he wondered. “After all, if you truly look at what we proclaim about Jesus, about the sovereignty of our Lord, and about who God is, it takes a leap of faith to believe it. If the authority figure in your life has been lying for years about a Santa Claus figure who has all the attributes of a god, how can you really trust him to be telling you the truth now about the revelation of the God-man?”
“Some interesting facts about Santa to consider,” Scarborough continued. “First, his name is spelled with the exact same letters that spell Satan. Coincidence?

Martial Law Backers Are Mad at Giuliani Pal Jenna Ellis, Who is Trying to Overturn Biden Victory But Disavows Using Insurrection Act

Jenna Ellis , a Trump attorney who has loyally backed the president ’ s outrageous assertions about the election and has been by Rudy Giuliani ’ s side throughout their torturous effort to overturn Biden ’ s victory , is suddenly on the outs with some of Trump ’ s supporters because she said that the Insurrection Act does not apply to the fight over the outcome of the election .

She was rewarded with comments calling her a bad lawyer , a shill for the left , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fight to make money and raise her profile .
Some argued that this is war , and everything must be done to put Trump in office .

The book’s main character has yellow hair styled in a familiar coif, but rendered as sort of a cross between Hannah-Barbera’s Bam-Bam and Dudley Do-Right of “Rocky and Bullwinkle” fame.
Conceived as part of Metaxas’ “Donald the Caveman” series, the book’s cover shows Donald Bam-Bam swathed in an American flag, arranged in a fetching one-shoulder look, and bearing a club inscribed with the words, “We the People,” while leaning on the wall. On the other side of the wall there are what may be cariactures of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders, both of the left, in apparent states of distress in the clutches of a blue dinosaur wearing reading glasses.
From the jacket copy:
“After Donald the Caveman drained the Swamp and the greedy Swamp Creatures fled, the cave people were free! So all kinds of great things began to happen. They invented fire and the wheel — and their economy was booming! “Soon folks from other kingdoms began arriving to join the winning experiment in liberty! Most were freedom-loving, but some only caused trouble. And then the awful Swamp Creatures decided to put together a caravan of troublemakers to come back and take over the country! What should the free people do? Donald knew the answer… “BUILD… THE… WALL!!!”
The autographed hardcover is yours for a mere $19.00.
OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE ‘ACQUITTED FOR LIFE’ COIN – Looking for a slightly passive-aggressive gift for a MAGA believer in the family? The White House gift shop has you covered with a “historic moments” coin commemorating President-reject Donald Trump’s acquittal in his Senate impeachment trial. The “limited edition” coin, which will set you back $125, features a grinning Trump holding a copy of the Washington Post and the phrase “Acquitted for Life.” On the reverse is “Keep America Great,” which may have sounded like a great campaign slogan before Trump’s catastrophic failure to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. Other awkward possibilities: a coin celebrating the administration’s COVID-19 Task Force or one commemorating Trump’s three Supreme Court justices, who were once celebrated by MAGA world but are now reviled for failing to overturn Biden’s victory.
A CIGAR IS JUST A CIGAR … UNTIL RUDY – Now, if you’re one of those more cosmopolitan-type Trumpers, you may frequently find yourself thinking, WWRD? (“What would Rudy do?”) Well, the answer seems to be to buy cigars from the Famous Smoke Shop, and hoard some gold. Bonus: If you get your cigars from Famous, you’ll get $20 off your first order with the RUDY20 code. Tip of the hat to the folks at The Recount:
Rudy Giuliani is doing ads for cigars & gold coins on his YouTube channel. pic.twitter.com/K7xS3lGViy — The Recount (@therecount) December 17, 2020
SUPER-SPREADING SAVIOR – What better way to celebrate the birth of Jesus than by using his name to mock public health officials’ efforts to prevent the spread of a virus that has killed 323,000 Americans and more than 1.7 million people worldwide? This “Jesus Christ Super-Spreader” T-Shirt is being promoted by missionary, musician, and failed congressional candidate Sean Feucht, who has been traveling the U.S., holding large sing-and-dance worship events that have flouted social distancing guidelines and alarmed public health officials. Bonus opportunity to show off the shirt if the recipient lives in Los Angeles, where hospitals may be running out of room, but Feucht is planning a blowout “Let Us Worship!” event on New Year’s Eve. Only $32.00 from Feucht’s website.
FOR THE ANGRY MAN IN YOUR LIFE – You may have thought that the neo-fascist fight club known as the Proud Boys had been kicked off the internet for good, what with their ban by Twitter, and their website being ditched by Google. But, nah, you can still get your Proud Boys merch, thanks to the roguish web-hosting service Cloudflare. For just $40.00 each, these include a tee shirt emblazoned with an image of people being tossed out of a helicopter, and another featuring a drawing of a pile of bullets topped by the words, “Kill Your Local Pedophile.” And since the contagion of the QAnon movement basically asserts that everyone who opposes the current occupant of the White House is a pedophile, the shirt itself is quite the ominous threat. But ha, ha—all meant in knuckleheaded fun.
WHICH PEOPLE WE TALKIN’ ABOUT HERE? With at least a few more months of enforced family togetherness ahead, games are a great way to pass the time. The Christmas catalog of Christian-nation “historian” David Barton’s Wallbuilders suggests the “We the People” board game, which provides fun for the whole family while indoctrinating children in a right-wing worldview. A pursuit, it seems, deemed worthy by some of its $58 price. “Laugh-out-loud as players vicariously live the hilarious consequences of social justice and an intrusive government,” the game promises. Social justice cards “illustrate the consequences of big, progressive government so players can clearly recognize modern-day tyranny.” In case you’re wondering, the game defines social justice as “the process of creating equality among individuals by regulating wealth and opportunity to achieve an unrealistic ‘fairness’ among the population.” Sample “Social Justice” card: “The Family First Freedom commission determines that the PB&J sandwich found in your kid’s lunch is not up to code. Pay $1,000 for sack lunch training.” Hilarious!
MAKING MERRY CHRISTMAS GREAT AGAIN, AGAIN – Alveda King, an anti-abortion activist and member of the leadership council of the Trump-supporting POTUS Shield network, has produced a five-song Christmas EPwhose title, “Merry Christmas ‘Again’” was inspired by Trump’s claims that thanks to his efforts, Americans were saying Merry Christmas again. (Remember the Obama years, when Christmas was driven underground and Christmas carols were banned from shopping malls?) Beauty, of course, is in the eye—or ear—of the beholder, so we can’t say how often you’ll really want to cue this one up, even if it’s only $9.99. If you find yourself wanting more Alveda, you could drop $24.99 for her book, “Why Trump? Memoirs of a Journey of Faith, Hope and Love.” One of the “gifts” King gave the rest of us this year was her goddaughter, Angela Stanton-King, who got a pardon from Trump with help from Alveda’s connections and then ran for Congress as a QAnon-spouting, anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ culture warrior.
LEGEND IN HIS OWN MIND – Jack Posobiec fans have an exciting new piece of merch from the dirty-trickster side of the GOP: an action-packed comic book featuring their man as a James Bond-type secret agent, with his sidekick, Agent Cassandra Fairbanks. From the promo copy for “Agent Poso Task Force AEGIS Issue #1” (which can be yours for $25):
Set ten years in the future a global threat has arisen, and the President must turn to those he can trust. An off-the-books team that works directly for him, in the shadows. For the most sensitive missions, he calls upon Agent Poso and TASK FORCE AEGIS… Together with Agent Draino, Agent Tay, and Agent Fairbanks the Task Force takes on the NO FAIL missions that the President assigns Tier One.

Trump Attorney Jenna Ellis Denounces Courts, State Legislatures For Not Overturning Swing State Results

Jenna Ellis , Rudy Giuliani ’ s partner in representing President Donald Trump ’ s efforts to overturn Joe Biden ’ s victory in the 2020 election , told a radio host Monday that Trump ’ s interests are “ aligned with truth.
” Ellis appeared on iHeart Radio ’ s Dan Caplis Show , where the host gushed over her intelligence and “ mastery ” of constitutional law and allowed her to present the “ evidence ” for her assertion that the election was stolen from Trump .
Giuliani and Ellis have had a miserable record getting their “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ federal courts , which may explain why Ellis denounced both courts and state legislatures for having “ utterly failed their obligation to the American people.
” Ellis talked through some of the claims Trump ’ s legal team have been making about elections in six swing states won by Biden having been so “ irredeemably compromised ” that the only solution is to have state legislatures step in and name electors directly .
Ellis said that Jan. 6 , when Congress will officially receive the Electoral College votes cast on Dec. 14 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ ultimate significance ” for this election by the Supreme Court .
But she did not mention the frantic ongoing efforts by Trump and his right-wing allies to get members of Congress to object to the legitimately certified swing-state electors .

Die-Hard Trumpists Urge Pence to Act Today to Refuse Electoral College Votes from Swing States Biden Won

A right-wing network of “ prayer warriors ” with close ties to the Trump administration sent an urgent alert to supporters Wednesday claiming that Vice President Mike Pence “ could halt the acceptance of electoral votes ” from swing states .
Intercessors for America claims that President Donald Trump ’ s “ most vocal advocates within the White House ” say Pence would have to act today in order to halt the acceptance of electoral votes won by Joe Biden but contested by the Trump campaign .
IFA is led by Dave Kubal , a close associate of White House @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for America alert : Sources in the Trump administration confirmed to National File that President Donald Trump ’ s most vocal advocates within the White House have determined that both U.S. Code and the Constitution contain language that requires Vice President Mike Pence to reject unlawful Electoral College certificates , but Pence must act by no later than Wednesday , December 23 .
IFA links to a Dec. 22 memo to Trump from unnamed people in the White House that lays out the supposed justification for “ Operation ‘ PENCE ’ CARD ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Vice President Michael R. Pence from “ receiving ” electoral votes from six fraudulently certified States .
On December 23 , the Vice President will notify each Secretary of State which certified for Biden where the fraud occurred that he hasn ’ t RECEIVED any Certificates of legally “ APPOINTED ” Electors or their votes ( because of the fraud ) .
The Vice President further requests that the Secretaries of those States ( and the relevant District Judge ) send the Certificates of legally “ Appointed ” Electors & their votes-based upon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the States ’ Legislatures , to him before January 6 , 2021 ( per U.S. Constitution Art .
2 , Sec 2 , Cl1 ; 14th Amend .
Section 1 , Equal Protection Clause ; 3 USC12 & 13 ) .
Since all State Legislatures essentially require ( in some form or fashion ) that their Electors be “ APPOINTED ” by honest and non-fraudulent elections , the Senate President will NOT HAVE RECEIVED any Certificates of permissible votes from “ APPOINTED ” electors as required by the Constitution in the manner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The memo concludes that Pence is “ duty-bound ” to request that the states send certifications from electors “ that were appointed in the manner that the State Legislatures directed ” and asserts that Pence is “ the sole plenary power that has the authority to make this determination.
” IFA ’ s website offers people a chance to send a message to Pence today urging him to reject the electors from states “ where there has been unresolved voter fraud.
” The suggested message includes this sentence : “ I believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as this ’ that leaders like yourself may be in office – for the sake of the protection of godly principles and the protection of our constitutional republic.
” Pence will preside over the January 6 joint session of Congress that will formally receive , count , and accept the Electoral College votes that were cast on Dec. 14 .

Right-wing pastor Hank Kunneman appeared on The Victory Channel ’ s “ Flashpoint ” program Tuesday night , where he lashed out at conservative politicians and pastors who have acknowledged that President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election and that Joe Biden will become president .
Since the election , Kunneman , a self-proclaimed “ prophet , ” has become increasingly defensive over the fact that he had repeatedly prophesied that Trump would be reelected .
As such , he continues to insist that his prophecies were accurate , attack those who have acknowledged that Trump lost for supposedly being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ God will never allow Biden to become the 46th president of the United States .
Kunneman kicked off his argument by likening the battle over the election results to the biblical story of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea while fleeing from the Egyptians , who he bizarrely asserted were “ a communist enemy.
” “ Listen , Israel had to stand , ” Kunneman said .
“ When they were on the very beach of the Red Sea and there was a pursuing enemy—a communist enemy from the left—pursuing this nation , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stand in the midst of warfare .
We are not only in a spiritual war , but we are at war with foreign agencies , entities that are trying to steal , and those in our nation , trying to steal our future.
” “ God is watching right now , ” he continued .
“ I want to give you the word from Heaven .
God is looking from the throne room and he is saying , ‘ Who is conceding and who is standing strong , believing me , God , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this thing around and I ’ m exposing fraud and crime ?
’ And so the longer this plays out , the more the truth is going to be revealed and it ’ s exactly what God wants.
” “ What ’ s alarming to my spirit , and I believe grievous to God—now listen to me , preacher , if you ’ re watching , listen to me , politician , if you ’ re watching—why are you conceding when the majority of true Americans want honesty and integrity , and we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
” Kunneman asked .
“ We demand truth .
We demand integrity .
We ’ ve just recently had national figures , preachers , politicians—especially preachers—that are getting on and congratulating 46 that does not exist .
Nix 46 .
In the eyes of God , it doesn ’ t exist because God is not putting a man into an elected office as president in this nation based on crime and fraud .
