noqreport--2020-03-17--Even with the coronavirus, there is hope

As we wait through the panic and growing stresses associated with the Chinese Coronavirus , some are coming to the realization that things may never get back to normal in America .
There ’ s a deep despair coming over many who know their funds are growing short and their cupboards are becoming bare .
But there ’ s hope on the horizon .
In fact , there are several reasons for Americans to be encouraged not only by what our representatives in government are doing but also in the way we ’ re reacting to this crisis .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and see the negatives .
A growing number of Americans have become so jaded and uncaring that we believe the status quo is political polarization , religious indifference , and cultural outrage .
Perhaps , just maybe , this pandemic is exactly what we needed in order to break from the trend of divisiveness that has engulfed our nation for years .
Perhaps , just maybe , this is the wake up call we ’ ve needed for so long .
Now is the time to come together… by being apart .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but time is both the great healer and the promoter of decadence .
For too long , the only things that have been healing are our combative nature towards those we oppose and scars we ’ ve accumulated through battles over our differences .
For too long , the only thing that has been decaying is the sense of unity that once made America so strong .
News reports are loaded with doom and gloom , but what they ’ re not telling you is we ’ re face-to-face with an unambiguous opportunity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nation .
In many ways , this is the type of unifying event we ’ ve needed for a while .
We must be unified in our actions of avoiding each other , of preventing further contractions of this disease through isolation .
It sounds like an oxymoron , unifying in solidarity through solitude , but if we stop and think about it , this may have been the only way for a unified goal to have been presented to a polarized society .
There is plenty of ugliness happening around us .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ve felt glee in grabbing the last few packages of hand sanitizer even as we knew we probably wouldn ’ t use it all .
We knew by taking the last bottles there was someone else who may have needed it , but we took it nonetheless .
We ’ re seeing guns and ammunition flying off the shelves , and while we may support the 2nd Amendment wholeheartedly , it ’ s concerning to know that some intend to use these weapons not to protect their families but to be ready @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continues to deteriorate .
The world seems to be turning towards self-protection above all things , and that ’ s an ugly position for us to be in .
But like I said before , there ’ s hope .
We have to believe that because it ’ s necessary for us to make it through this crisis .
We have to believe that because it ’ s true .
Mainstream media is bent on making the coronavirus pandemic as bad as possible .
It isn ’ t just that fear sells news @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the media has political foes they want to destroy .
The coronovirus is , from their perspective , a much better angle to pursue for their political purposes than Russian hoaxes or impeachment debacles .
The coronavirus may or may not be an existential threat to America , but mainstream media is definitely going to push for it to do as much political damage as possible .
Yet even in their unhinged desires to see harm done to their political foes even if it causes harm to innocent Americans , we can still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the form or redemption .
When we beat the coronavirus—and we will beat the coronavirus—we can look back and add the media ’ s attempts to damage this nation to their body of anti-American work .
We can hang it like an albatross about their necks as a reminder that they put their political agenda above the well-being of the nation that makes their jobs possible .
We are seeing hope coming from our government .
I know , it ’ s hard to see through all of the negative reporting , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ political spectrum we ’ re seeing the right decisions made .
That doesn ’ t mean we have to agree with them .
It doesn ’ t mean that all of them are correct .
It doesn ’ t even mean that their motivations for making these moves are honorable .
But the fact that everyone is government is focused on finding solutions is heartening .
It ’ s hopeful .
In many ways , I can say it ’ s unexpected as we have grown so accustomed to politicians making purely political @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decisions have generally been righteous .
I can already see people reading that and shaking their heads , but that ’ s the politics speaking .
If we take the politics out of it , we ’ ll see that generally speaking , the right moves are being made in this regard .
Sure , we can point to Nancy Pelosi trying to sneak in abortion funding into the first coronavirus aid bill and condemn her for it , but the bill itself is a testament to Capitol Hill ’ s desires to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to close everything down in ways that harm the economy and prevent people from getting paychecks ?
Yes .
But if those same people went to work and caught a life-threatening disease , what good is the paycheck other than covering their funeral expenses ?
Now is not the time to second-guess decisions .
It ’ s a time for unity , and the best way we can express that unity is by helping where we can and otherwise avoiding contact with others .
We can beat this .
We ’ re Americans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do what we can to preserve our health and the health of those for whom we are charged , and buckle down for a few weeks .
That ’ s what ’ s required .
If we can do this as individuals and families while allowing government and the private sector to contend with logistics of this disease , we can emerge in a few weeks with this disease licked .
That ’ s the hope that ’ s within us , but there ’ s an even greater hope that must shine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sinful man , but I know there is an eternal hope that covers me .
I do not fear the coronavirus , nor do I fear the turmoil that will arise if we do not get a handle on this soon .
If this coronavirus gets out of control despite our best efforts as individuals within the greatest nation in the world , then it was meant be .
And therein lies the greatest hope that ’ s within us .
The end is a new beginning for those who believe on Jesus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Even as we fight for this world , for our nation , for our family , and for ourselves , we mustn ’ t forget that no matter how bad it gets , we have wonders ahead of us that will make the pain and suffering of this world obsolete .
Nevertheless , we ’ re here today .
We must fight .
We must persevere until that ’ s no longer possible .
Thankfully , as we can come together as a nation , even in our solitude , we can beat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And perhaps , just maybe , we can be stronger as a people when it ’ s all said and done .

In fact, there are several reasons for Americans to be encouraged not only by what our representatives in government are doing but also in the way we’re reacting to this crisis.
It’s very easy to look around and see the negatives. A growing number of Americans have become so jaded and uncaring that we believe the status quo is political polarization, religious indifference, and cultural outrage. Perhaps, just maybe, this pandemic is exactly what we needed in order to break from the trend of divisiveness that has engulfed our nation for years.
Perhaps, just maybe, this is the wake up call we’ve needed for so long.
Now is the time to come together… by being apart. It seems like a contradiction at first, but time is both the great healer and the promoter of decadence. For too long, the only things that have been healing are our combative nature towards those we oppose and scars we’ve accumulated through battles over our differences. For too long, the only thing that has been decaying is the sense of unity that once made America so strong.
News reports are loaded with doom and gloom, but what they’re not telling you is we’re face-to-face with an unambiguous opportunity to fight this invisible foe as a nation. In many ways, this is the type of unifying event we’ve needed for a while. We must be unified in our actions of avoiding each other, of preventing further contractions of this disease through isolation. It sounds like an oxymoron, unifying in solidarity through solitude, but if we stop and think about it, this may have been the only way for a unified goal to have been presented to a polarized society.
There is plenty of ugliness happening around us. Some of us have participated. We’ve felt glee in grabbing the last few packages of hand sanitizer even as we knew we probably wouldn’t use it all. We knew by taking the last bottles there was someone else who may have needed it, but we took it nonetheless. We’re seeing guns and ammunition flying off the shelves, and while we may support the 2nd Amendment wholeheartedly, it’s concerning to know that some intend to use these weapons not to protect their families but to be ready to take from others if the situation continues to deteriorate. The world seems to be turning towards self-protection above all things, and that’s an ugly position for us to be in. But like I said before, there’s hope. We have to believe that because it’s necessary for us to make it through this crisis. We have to believe that because it’s true.
Mainstream media is bent on making the coronavirus pandemic as bad as possible. It isn’t just that fear sells news better than hope, but more importantly the media has political foes they want to destroy. The coronovirus is, from their perspective, a much better angle to pursue for their political purposes than Russian hoaxes or impeachment debacles. The coronavirus may or may not be an existential threat to America, but mainstream media is definitely going to push for it to do as much political damage as possible.
Yet even in their unhinged desires to see harm done to their political foes even if it causes harm to innocent Americans, we can still find hope. That hope comes in the form or redemption. When we beat the coronavirus—and we will beat the coronavirus—we can look back and add the media’s attempts to damage this nation to their body of anti-American work. We can hang it like an albatross about their necks as a reminder that they put their political agenda above the well-being of the nation that makes their jobs possible.
We are seeing hope coming from our government. I know, it’s hard to see through all of the negative reporting, but at nearly every level and across the political spectrum we’re seeing the right decisions made. That doesn’t mean we have to agree with them. It doesn’t mean that all of them are correct. It doesn’t even mean that their motivations for making these moves are honorable. But the fact that everyone is government is focused on finding solutions is heartening. It’s hopeful. In many ways, I can say it’s unexpected as we have grown so accustomed to politicians making purely political decisions. Regarding the coronavirus, the decisions have generally been righteous.

I can already see people reading that and shaking their heads, but that’s the politics speaking. If we take the politics out of it, we’ll see that generally speaking, the right moves are being made in this regard. Sure, we can point to Nancy Pelosi trying to sneak in abortion funding into the first coronavirus aid bill and condemn her for it, but the bill itself is a testament to Capitol Hill’s desires to make things right. Is it wrong to close everything down in ways that harm the economy and prevent people from getting paychecks? Yes. But if those same people went to work and caught a life-threatening disease, what good is the paycheck other than covering their funeral expenses?
Now is not the time to second-guess decisions. It’s a time for unity, and the best way we can express that unity is by helping where we can and otherwise avoiding contact with others. We can beat this. We’re Americans. Help those who need it, do what we can to preserve our health and the health of those for whom we are charged, and buckle down for a few weeks. That’s what’s required. If we can do this as individuals and families while allowing government and the private sector to contend with logistics of this disease, we can emerge in a few weeks with this disease licked.
That’s the hope that’s within us, but there’s an even greater hope that must shine through. I am a Bible-believing, sinful man, but I know there is an eternal hope that covers me. I do not fear the coronavirus, nor do I fear the turmoil that will arise if we do not get a handle on this soon. If this coronavirus gets out of control despite our best efforts as individuals within the greatest nation in the world, then it was meant be. And therein lies the greatest hope that’s within us. The end is a new beginning for those who believe on Jesus Christ and repent for our sins. Even as we fight for this world, for our nation, for our family, and for ourselves, we mustn’t forget that no matter how bad it gets, we have wonders ahead of us that will make the pain and suffering of this world obsolete.
Nevertheless, we’re here today. We must fight. We must persevere until that’s no longer possible. Thankfully, as we can come together as a nation, even in our solitude, we can beat this thing that has plagued us.
And perhaps, just maybe, we can be stronger as a people when it’s all said and done.

noqreport--2020-03-18--China is waging a media war. We experienced it first-hand.

In an effort to mitigate or even eliminate as much blame as possible for the worldwide spread of the coronavirus , the Chinese Communist Party has engaged in their most concerted and widespread attempt at propaganda we ’ ve seen in the modern era .
They ’ re pulling out all the stops and sparing no expense to convince the world the Chinese Virus , also called the Wuhan Coronavirus or COVID-19 , isn ’ t their fault .
In fact , they want you to believe it ’ s an attack by the U.S. Army .
Seriously .
Their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far the largest and most complex in the world , is more than just a few thousand journalists in their pockets .
They don ’ t just own the messaging of the DNC and mainstream media or the executive board of the World Health Organization .
They have a wide network of people who do nothing but spread lies on social media , article comments , and chat boards .
NOQ Report got to experience this for ourselves last year .
In late 2018 and early 2019 , we opposed the trade war @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trade as the right way to go .
It wasn ’ t out of support for trading with China .
Our belief back then was the best way to right the course was to encourage domestic production and use free trade to find alternatives to Chinese partners .
Once it became clear the administration was moving forward with the trade war , we switched perspectives .
I personally took on a “ no half-measures ” approach to it .
If there was no way to stop tariffs , then it made more sense @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to force negotiations and bring the trade war to an end as quickly as possible .
Like I said , I ’ m not a fan of trading with China at anywhere near the rate we do because we ’ re essentially propping up a potential enemy ’ s economy by doing so .
A Chinese mobile app started sending us significant traffic at the time that we were opposed to tariffs .
It struck me as odd because even though it was all in Chinese , the traffic was coming mostly from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Europe and Australia .
They weren ’ t just sharing my anti-tariff posts .
They were sharing many of our posts , about one every 2-4 days , and when they did the traffic would spike .
In 2019 , they were our 10th highest traffic source , and almost all of it came in the beginning of the year before we switched to an anti-tariff stance .
Then , the traffic mostly stopped before the end of 2019 .
I would have assumed we were blacklisted by the site but traffic still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about the company , it was clear the algorithms employed by the Beijing-based company filtered out content from sites they deemed anti-CCP .
Conspicuously , since we ’ ve been reporting about the coronavirus , we haven ’ t had a single visitor from the app .
Don ’ t get me wrong—I ’ m glad that traffic stopped .
It wasn ’ t high quality and rarely commented .
But it did act to solidify my theory that they ’ re using a combination of meat-puppets and machine learning to determine how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own country .
That ’ s a concern , especially when we consider how much sway they have over popular mainstream and social media outlets in the United States .
Are we getting our news filtered in similar fashion , though not quite as blatantly ?
We know this for sure : The CCP is firing every weapon they have in order to control a narrative that is seemingly lost .

In an effort to mitigate or even eliminate as much blame as possible for the worldwide spread of the coronavirus, the Chinese Communist Party has engaged in their most concerted and widespread attempt at propaganda we’ve seen in the modern era. They’re pulling out all the stops and sparing no expense to convince the world the Chinese Virus, also called the Wuhan Coronavirus or COVID-19, isn’t their fault. In fact, they want you to believe it’s an attack by the U.S. Army. Seriously.
Their propaganda wing, which is likely by far the largest and most complex in the world, is more than just a few thousand journalists in their pockets. They don’t just own the messaging of the DNC and mainstream media or the executive board of the World Health Organization. They have a wide network of people who do nothing but spread lies on social media, article comments, and chat boards. NOQ Report got to experience this for ourselves last year.
In late 2018 and early 2019, we opposed the trade war with China, preferring fiscally conservative free trade as the right way to go. It wasn’t out of support for trading with China. Our belief back then was the best way to right the course was to encourage domestic production and use free trade to find alternatives to Chinese partners.
Once it became clear the administration was moving forward with the trade war, we switched perspectives. I personally took on a “no half-measures” approach to it. If there was no way to stop tariffs, then it made more sense to push for the harshest tariffs possible to force negotiations and bring the trade war to an end as quickly as possible. Like I said, I’m not a fan of trading with China at anywhere near the rate we do because we’re essentially propping up a potential enemy’s economy by doing so.
A Chinese mobile app started sending us significant traffic at the time that we were opposed to tariffs. It struck me as odd because even though it was all in Chinese, the traffic was coming mostly from the United States with some coming from Europe and Australia.

In 2019, they were our 10th highest traffic source, and almost all of it came in the beginning of the year before we switched to an anti-tariff stance.
Then, the traffic mostly stopped before the end of 2019. I would have assumed we were blacklisted by the site but traffic still occasionally trickled in. After learning more about the company, it was clear the algorithms employed by the Beijing-based company filtered out content from sites they deemed anti-CCP. Conspicuously, since we’ve been reporting about the coronavirus, we haven’t had a single visitor from the app.
Don’t get me wrong—I’m glad that traffic stopped. It wasn’t high quality and rarely commented. But it did act to solidify my theory that they’re using a combination of meat-puppets and machine learning to determine how content is distributed even outside of their own country. That’s a concern, especially when we consider how much sway they have over popular mainstream and social media outlets in the United States. Are we getting our news filtered in similar fashion, though not quite as blatantly?
We know this for sure: The CCP is firing every weapon they have in order to control a narrative that is seemingly lost. But their propaganda tools are powerful and their connections are vast. Don’t assume they can’t sway blame away from them.

noqreport--2020-03-18--Philadelphia goes lawless. Officially, this time.

Restaurants are closing .
Toilet paper is flying off the shelves .
Arrests are being put on hold .
Is there an end to the madness the coronavirus has inflicted on our nation ?
In Philadelphia , crimes are no longer being treated as crimes as law enforcement has been instructed to stop making arrests .
No , seriously .
A decree has been sent down from ironically named Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw for police to stop arresting people who commit “ non-violent ” crimes .
They are instead to hold suspects in their cars and issue warrants for future @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them later .
Drug dealers , car thieves , and prostitutes will now be essentially ticketed with an order to appear in court for arrest at a later date , though that is not necessarily described in the warrant they receive .
Instead , they will be found when the Commissioner decrees it is okay to book people at the police station again .
The list of crimes that will not yield an arrest and proper police booking include : It ’ s understandable that leaders across the country are making an effort @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as best they can .
Our EIC even noted in a story that we should be pleased that leaders in both the public and private sectors are trying to do the right thing .
But this particular move seems much more like forced criminal justice reform with a touch of social justice warrior mentality .
Crime is crime , and some of the offenses on the no-arrest list seem too serious to deem worthy of release for the suspect .
Philadelphia has a tendency to take radical steps in their quest for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reform .
But that agenda tends to do more harm to the community and law-abiding citizens than any perceived positives .

BREAKING: @phillypolice officers instructed to stop making arrests for following list of what are consider non-violent crimes. Here is the email sent to city police officers telling them to just obtain arrest warrants for now. @FOX29philly pic.twitter.com/GYl13T67uK — Steve Keeley (@KeeleyFox29) March 17, 2020
Drug dealers, car thieves, and prostitutes will now be essentially ticketed with an order to appear in court for arrest at a later date, though that is not necessarily described in the warrant they receive. Instead, they will be found when the Commissioner decrees it is okay to book people at the police station again.
The list of crimes that will not yield an arrest and proper police booking include:
All narcotics offenses
Theft from persons
Retail theft
Theft from auto
Burglary
Vandalism
All bench warrants
Stolen auto
Economic crimes
Prostitution
It’s understandable that leaders across the country are making an effort to put an end to the coronavirus as best they can. Our EIC even noted in a story that we should be pleased that leaders in both the public and private sectors are trying to do the right thing. But this particular move seems much more like forced criminal justice reform with a touch of social justice warrior mentality. Crime is crime, and some of the offenses on the no-arrest list seem too serious to deem worthy of release for the suspect.
Philadelphia has a tendency to take radical steps in their quest for a social justice utopia that includes criminal justice reform. But that agenda tends to do more harm to the community and law-abiding citizens than any perceived positives.

noqreport--2020-03-18--Discernment is not a team sport

Discernment is not a team sport

You know the phrase , “ There ’ s no I in team.
” If you ’ ve grown up playing team sports , such as I did playing basketball , you heard that phrase over and over again .
The premise of this mindset is to eliminate selfishness and promote a team-first mindset .
In these circumstances , such as sports , business and military , this is a necessity that needs to be implemented .
In those circumstances , your decision making needs to be about what is best for the team , not necessarily what is best @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comes to other circumstances , such as what we are seeing in the Christian evangelical world and the so-called “ discernment ” world , this type of thinking can create all sorts of unbiblical alliances and behaviors .
An example of this ungodly mindset is what I refer to as the Good Old Boys Club ( GOBC ) .
This is a mentality within the Evangelical Elite where they “ defend their own ” , often times hypocritically .
The Bible says that we are supposed to judge equally and without partiality .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ weights and unequal measures are both alike an abomination to the Lord.
” James 2:9 reminds us that , “ if you show partiality , you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
” However , we ’ ve seen countless examples of the Evangelical Elite showing partiality towards their friends or those deemed on their “ team.
” For example , Pastor MacArthur made a big deal during the Strange Fire Conference about sharing the stage with those that promote a false Gospel .
However , now that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , all of a sudden his tune has changed .
While he , at one time , said that Social Justice is the greatest threat to the Gospel in his lifetime ( paraphrasing ) , he then shared the stage with three of the leaders of the Social Justice movement within mainstream Evangelicalism and said that he won ’ t fight his friends .
Another example of this is in regards to the Interfaith Dialogue that we saw with James White and Yasir Qadhi .
In this example , we saw Phil Johnson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , in spite of the fact that traditionally John MacArthur and Co have always been against IFDs .
We then saw JD Hall and Pulpit & Pen come to the defense of Phil Johnson & James White , accusing Brannon Howse and I of going too hard in condemning Dr White , and then turned around and attacked him harder than Brannon or I ever did .
Now , we are seeing P & P flat out anathematizing White .
We also see this kind of mentality in the reverse .
What do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if you defend those that are in your club no matter what , you ’ ll oftentimes attack those NOT in your club or on your team .
We ’ ve seen this with Dr Michael Brown .
The Strange Fire crowd ( made up of guys like Phil Johnson , Justin Peters , JD Hall and the like ) see Dr Brown as chief enemy number one when it comes to their war against the Charismatics .
In their eyes , he can do no right .
Even though they might agree @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Justice , Old Testament Theology and even the Gospel , he is an “ Apologist for Satan ” because he is a Charismatic and defends many of the practices found within the Charismatic movement .
( Although , to be fair to Dr Brown , he ’ s also condemned many of the extreme Charismatic abuses in his book Authentic Fire .
Also , if you are a charismatic , of course you wouldn ’ t see a lot of the problems with your own theology that Cessationsts see… ) In the Strange @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is pure evil and can do no right .
We ’ ve also seen this with their attitude towards me .
I ’ ve been very open about my theological beliefs .
I ’ m a traditional Lordship Salvation , 5 Point Calvinist & Cessationist .
For the most part , I agree with John MacArthur theologically .
However , I ’ ve been critical of some of the behavior & decisions from , Dr… excuse me… Pastor MacArthur , his staffers and his supporters .
Because of that , I ’ ve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A Keeper of Goats ( referring to the state of my salvation , as well as those who support my critiques ) and many other slanderous and ungodly accusations .
This has expanded now to those associating with me , as there have been articles from MacArthur staffers and Pulpit & Pen seeking to destroy not only me , but those associated with me like Pastor Sam Jones , Paige Rogers and JD Rucker .
You see , while we may all agree when it comes to The Gospel , Social Justice and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the church today , they just can ’ t fathom working with someone that disagrees with them .
What ’ s happening is that they are getting distracted with personal vendettas when we have a war to win .
We are literally facing the greatest threat to the church in our lifetime , when it comes to Social Justice .
We are seeing the full-on assault on the Gospel .
We are seeing the church crumble before our eyes .
But these Evangelical Elite are too focused on their purse-strings… too focused on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feuds with their brothers and sisters in Christ to actually set aside these petty differences and join together to destroy the enemy .
They ’ d rather fight over whether someone should be invited to speak at a conference about Social Justice who had a divorce .
They ’ d rather fight over whether someone believes in the gift of tongues .
They ’ d rather fight over secondary issues , small battles and personal vendettas instead of join together and fight a war together .
They say that they believe that Social @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but their actions say otherwise .
Sometimes you have to skip a battle to win the war .
You see , the enemy is in lockstep .
We see that with the Democrats .
We see that with the Cultural Marxists .
We see that with The Gospel Coalition and Elites within the SBC .
We see it with the “ pastors ” in the pulpits literally leading their congregations to hell .
They are all in lockstep .
And we can ’ t even fight the war because we are too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would rather jockey for position as the “ leader ” of the team by destroying all allies that might be considered competition instead of just focusing on winning the war .
Set aside your pride .
Set aside your status .
Set aside all of that .
We have a war to win .
Suck it up , man up and let ’ s go Destroy Social Justice .
If you can ’ t get past yourself and bring yourself to join in the fight , then you are going to get left @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we need to focus on than your distractions and cries for attention .
You may talk a big game , but you are lukewarm .
Remember what Revelation 3:16 says about being lukewarm .
That ’ s my sentiments , as well .
It ’ s time to spit you out .

An example of this ungodly mindset is what I refer to as the Good Old Boys Club (GOBC). This is a mentality within the Evangelical Elite where they “defend their own”, often times hypocritically. The Bible says that we are supposed to judge equally and without partiality. Proverbs 20:10 tells us, “Unequal weights and unequal measures are both alike an abomination to the Lord.” James 2:9 reminds us that, “if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.”
However, we’ve seen countless examples of the Evangelical Elite showing partiality towards their friends or those deemed on their “team.” For example, Pastor MacArthur made a big deal during the Strange Fire Conference about sharing the stage with those that promote a false Gospel. However, now that we are facing the Social Justice war, all of a sudden his tune has changed. While he, at one time, said that Social Justice is the greatest threat to the Gospel in his lifetime (paraphrasing), he then shared the stage with three of the leaders of the Social Justice movement within mainstream Evangelicalism and said that he won’t fight his friends.
Another example of this is in regards to the Interfaith Dialogue that we saw with James White and Yasir Qadhi. In this example, we saw Phil Johnson come to the defense of his friends, in spite of the fact that traditionally John MacArthur and Co have always been against IFDs. We then saw JD Hall and Pulpit & Pen come to the defense of Phil Johnson & James White, accusing Brannon Howse and I of going too hard in condemning Dr White, and then turned around and attacked him harder than Brannon or I ever did. Now, we are seeing P&P flat out anathematizing White.
We also see this kind of mentality in the reverse. What do I mean by that? Well, if you defend those that are in your club no matter what, you’ll oftentimes attack those NOT in your club or on your team. We’ve seen this with Dr Michael Brown. The Strange Fire crowd (made up of guys like Phil Johnson, Justin Peters, JD Hall and the like) see Dr Brown as chief enemy number one when it comes to their war against the Charismatics. In their eyes, he can do no right. Even though they might agree with him on issues such as Social Justice, Old Testament Theology and even the Gospel, he is an “Apologist for Satan” because he is a Charismatic and defends many of the practices found within the Charismatic movement. (Although, to be fair to Dr Brown, he’s also condemned many of the extreme Charismatic abuses in his book Authentic Fire. Also, if you are a charismatic, of course you wouldn’t see a lot of the problems with your own theology that Cessationsts see…) In the Strange Fire guys’ eyes, Dr Brown is pure evil and can do no right.
We’ve also seen this with their attitude towards me. I’ve been very open about my theological beliefs. I’m a traditional Lordship Salvation, 5 Point Calvinist & Cessationist. For the most part, I agree with John MacArthur theologically. However, I’ve been critical of some of the behavior & decisions from, Dr… excuse me… Pastor MacArthur, his staffers and his supporters. Because of that, I’ve been called a Son of Satan, A Keeper of Goats (referring to the state of my salvation, as well as those who support my critiques) and many other slanderous and ungodly accusations. This has expanded now to those associating with me, as there have been articles from MacArthur staffers and Pulpit & Pen seeking to destroy not only me, but those associated with me like Pastor Sam Jones, Paige Rogers and JD Rucker.
You see, while we may all agree when it comes to The Gospel, Social Justice and the threat that we are facing as the church today, they just can’t fathom working with someone that disagrees with them. What’s happening is that they are getting distracted with personal vendettas when we have a war to win. We are literally facing the greatest threat to the church in our lifetime, when it comes to Social Justice. We are seeing the full-on assault on the Gospel. We are seeing the church crumble before our eyes. But these Evangelical Elite are too focused on their purse-strings… too focused on their status… too focused on their personal feuds with their brothers and sisters in Christ to actually set aside these petty differences and join together to destroy the enemy.
They’d rather fight over whether someone should be invited to speak at a conference about Social Justice who had a divorce. They’d rather fight over whether someone believes in the gift of tongues. They’d rather fight over secondary issues, small battles and personal vendettas instead of join together and fight a war together. They say that they believe that Social Justice is a threat to the Gospel, but their actions say otherwise. Sometimes you have to skip a battle to win the war.
You see, the enemy is in lockstep. We see that with the Democrats. We see that with the Cultural Marxists. We see that with The Gospel Coalition and Elites within the SBC. We see it with the “pastors” in the pulpits literally leading their congregations to hell. They are all in lockstep. And we can’t even fight the war because we are too distracted with the circular firing squad that would rather jockey for position as the “leader” of the team by destroying all allies that might be considered competition instead of just focusing on winning the war.

The White House is likely going to initiate an emergency direct-to-citizen expenditure. As many fiscal conservatives have said, they hate it but what other options are there? Some fiscal conservatives are still saying no without offering solutions that can help Joe Citizen and his family pay the rent at the end of this month. As much as government wants to be the solution to every problem, this is one that requires a better option.
It’s time for President Trump to call in a favor on behalf of America.
Disney, Amazon, Walmart, ExxonMobil, and a thousand other American corporations flush with cash need to step up. Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mike Bloomberg, and a hundred other billionaires need to do so as well. If President Trump made a public request, then held a meeting with those who have benefited most from American capitalism, they could put together a true aid package for America that would secure our economic future in a week. The hundreds of billions of dollars necessary to fulfill the temporary “Andrew Yang Plan” of Universal Basic Income on a temporary basis has to come from somewhere.

The White House could coordinate from a single account voluntarily contributed to by the mega-rich, particularly the huge corporations that thrive on a booming economy. Make the list of contributors public. Get cash into the hands of those who need it. Prove once and for all that compassion and capitalism combine for the best economic solution in the world.
We can beat the coronavirus. I’m not as worried as most about that. But the aftereffects will be horrible if we don’t initiate a big solution very soon. It’s bigger than government. It’s bigger than the private sector. But if we combine the two, it just might work.
Socialists often talk about taking from the top 1% and giving it to the poor. How about we do it the capitalistic, philanthropic way. President Trump can call on voluntary contributions from corporations with means and secure the economy’s future now.

noqreport--2020-03-18--All asylum-seekers must remain in Mexico until further notice

One of President Trump ’ s most controversial immigration moves ( and there have been many ) was to force asylum seekers who did not seek asylum in Mexico first to wait on the other side of the border until their asylum hearing .
It has been an on-again , off-again policy as it makes its way through the courts .
When it ’ s on , it works .
Now , the President is calling for all asylum-seekers and illegal immigrants to remain in Mexico no matter what for at least the duration of the Chinese Virus crisis .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the Southern Border Including Asylum Seekers The NYT is reporting that President Trump is considering returning all illegals to Mexico as they try to enter the country illegally .
Since this comes to us from the NYT , it ’ s a 50 % chance of being a lie .
But assuming it ’ s not , can the president legally do this , and can an activist judge toss the policy out ?
The answer to both questions is yes .
The short report does not explain the legal rationale for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ closure on the much-diminished 2019 inflow from Central America .
This process is well within the powers of a president as the executive branch is given sweeping powers over entry and denial of entry for foreign nationals .
But unlike every president before him , President Trump has been met with legal challenge after legal challenge to literally every attempt he has made to secure the border .
The combination of unhinged radical progressives taking over the Democratic Party and activist leftist judges flexing their muscles has hampered the President ’ s actions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nation .
We are struggling to keep our own citizens above water as so many are not receiving their regular paychecks .
Combine that with attempted entry by people in nations that are in worse shape regarding the coronavirus and the need to enforce this policy becomes paramount .

noqreport--2020-03-18--Joe Biden essentially locked up the nomination last night and nobody cares

Former Vice President Joe Biden is going to be the Democratic nominee for president .

Lest we forget , yesterday was a major primary day and the NFL is in the middle of its offseason .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ DNC is complaining .
The less attention that ’ s paid to Biden at this point , the better .
They ’ re pleased that he won Arizona , Florida , and Illinois by large margins over Senator Bernie Sanders , but they ’ re not necessarily ready for him to be on the national stage any more than he needs to be .
They ’ d prefer to wait for the Democratic National Convention in July when the coronavirus is ( hopefully ) contained and life is starting to get back to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , he ’ s not giving up .
At least he ’ s pretending like he ’ s not giving up .
There are certainly back-channel discussions urging him to drop out and focus on unifying the party , but publicly everyone ’ s playing coy .

Just a month ago , it seemed like Sanders was in the driver ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crash at the hands of Establishment Democrats is hitting his supporters even harder than his loss to Hillary Clinton .
Concerns have been quietly expressed by some Democrats and trumpeted by most Republicans about Biden ’ s cognitive abilities .
Our EIC asked if he has dementia .
It ’ a a valid question considering the deterioration of Biden ’ s speaking abilities .
He ’ s not even close to the sharp but gaffe-prone communicator he was in 2016 .
Today , he seems to have trouble keeping up with his own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reasons that he ’ s had his time limited in front of cameras ; even at his own rallies he speaks for an average of seven minutes .
Sanders and President Trump can keep rally audiences enthralled for hours .

It seems like a fair trade-off .

noqreport--2020-03-20--What got Gavin Newsom spooked enough to tank California’s economy?

Healthy skepticism is often the only viable path to the truth .
To put it another way , trust but verify .
Unfortunately , there ’ s really no way to verify anything about the Chinese Coronavirus because the people who can verify anything are the people who are telling us what we need to do .
These are strange times , folks .
In California , it just got a lot stranger in a hurry .
Governor Gavin Newsom ordered pretty much everything to shut down effective Thursday night .
Non-essential businesses are to close the doors until further @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at home until further notice .
We are under a massive statewide quarantine , nicely named a “ stay at home ” order .
With everything shut down , there is no way to avoid economic calamity .
We ’ re stuck .
I ’ m not complaining about the order on a personal level as my family has been holed up for a couple of weeks now .
But this seems like a very dangerous maneuver considering it will destroy the state ’ s economy .
This is no longer a question @ @ @ @ @ @ @ California is effectively done economically for the rest of the year , well into next year , and likely only achieving a near-full recovery by 2023 in the most ideal circumstances .
Clearly , Newsom knows something that makes him believe half the population will come down with the disease and overrun all state hospitals if he doesn ’ t act immediately .
What is it ?
The accepted rate of doubling in poor conditions is four days .
In other words , without a quarantine the number of cases is expected to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of over half the population infected in 68-72 days .
That sounds bad .
But that also assumes most people won ’ t be taking proper precautions , and as a resident of Southern California I know literally zero people who are not taking proper precautions .
Most are not going to work anyway .
The streets are generally empty even during rush hour .
The four grocery stores I ’ ve visited recently ( and still couldn ’ t find toilet paper ) were a little crowded at open but everyone seemed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vast majority of people are already taking steps to slow the virus .
Is this mandatory quarantine really required with a disease that has been underwhelming compared to other diseases ?
Aren ’ t the people able to decide whether or not to close their doors ?
Couldn ’ t proper precautions be taken on a case-by-case basis ?
Forgive me if I ’ m sounding a bit to anti-paranoid , but everything I ’ ve seen on the ground in California seems to indicate we ’ re already in the process of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still minimizing the damage done to the economy .
And yet , the economy is going to be forced to tank , especially if the mandatory shutdown continues for several weeks .
This seems more than just radical progressive overreaction or erring on the side of caution for the sake of political expediency .
I do everything I can to keep my inner conspiracy theorist at bay , but it ’ s chomping at the bit to come out over this odd move .
In the best-case scenario , this is just a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an overabundance of caution .
I can accept that .
If we want to look at a political conspiracy theory , there ’ s nothing that screams “ reelect me ” more than prompting dramatic responses for the sake of being chosen as the one to make it right .
There were many contributing factors to how President George W. Bush won reelection in 2004 .
He had a terrible opponent in John Kerry , which definitely helped .
But many say if there was no Iraq War , there would be no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kerry as the alternative .
Is Newsom securing his reelection now by taking California down a dark path so he has no place to go but up when the dust settles ?
The truly concerning conspiracy theories here are that he knows things we don ’ t know about… something .
Is the Chinese Coronavirus already raging well beyond the thousand or so cases confirmed in California ?
For those already wearing their tinfoil hats , is there something else at play behind the scenes with the coronavirus acting as a useful distraction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government reliance ahead of an authoritarian push by the radical progressives ?
I don ’ t put much stock in these tinfoil theories , but I ’ d be remiss to not mention them .
Whatever is happening in California , nothing really changes for the residents .
We ’ re in a bad situation with nothing to do but pray and try to stay afloat until the crisis ends .
That ’ s not where we want to be , but it ’ s where we ’ re at right now .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ eyes and ears open .
Listen to the experts and take proper precautions .
The Chinese Coronavirus is serious .

noqreport--2020-03-20--When you’ve always been a carpenter, everything looks like wood

Anthony Fauci may be the smartest Infectious Disease doctor in the room with President Trump , but he ’ s not the best adviser .
You heard that right .
I ’ m a doctor , and I ’ m declaring that a very highly qualified and well respected doctor is the wrong adviser for the President .
Heresy !
Erect the stake !
Light the torches !
Donald Trump must listen to science !
I ’ ll say it again .
Anthony Fauci knows a lot more about the transmission of disease than I do , but simply following @ @ @ @ @ @ @ desired .
His decades at the CDC have left him with a wealth of experience in his chosen field , but that focus leaves out a huge universe of information that will kill us if ignored .
The man in the street understands the problem , but it seems that our scientific high priest is unaware .
He ’ s wearing blinders .
Let ’ s ignore the accusations that the Wuhan Flu ( COVID-19 ) was engineered , or that it was spread by poorly paid workers selling lab animals in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now .
What we know about the spread of the disease is crucial .
Before I go further , allow me step back to my teenage years when I went through certification for the Red Cross Water Safety Instructor certificate .
A key aspect of rendering aid to a drowning person was to keep a cool head , remembering that the victim would likely be subject to a “ sudden , unreasoning fear ” ( “ panic ” ) and might easily drown the unprepared rescuer right along with himself .
We are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in America at the moment .
And unscrupulous actors are more than happy to be certain that this “ crisis ” does not go to waste .
We are constantly bombarded with the “ fact ” that the mortality rate from the Wuhan Flu is 3 % .
It ’ s surprising that we aren ’ t being told a higher number , because in Hubei Province , China , there have been 59,114 cases with 3,111 deaths , for a rate of 5.3 % .
But this only tells us about how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have Wuhan Flu .
Were there other deaths from Wuhan Flu that weren ’ t confirmed ?
Or were there other cases that never got sick enough to get tested ?
Science Magazine reports that 86 % of infections are never documented , based on advanced modeling .
This would mean that the Hubei mortality rate is actually 0.86 % .
But we don ’ t know for sure , and without that information , any “ mortality rate ” is at best a guess .
A South Korean firm developed a quick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drive-thru testing is reaching about 20,000 people a day with more accurate tests .
As of March 9 , South Korea had tested 190,000 people , with only 7,478 confirmed cases and fifty-one deaths .
That ’ s a mortality rate of 0.7 % – a whole lot less than advertised , and directly in line with the Hubei data adjusted for the Science Magazine report .
( Newer data shows 0.6 % . )
While we can argue about why , it ’ s clear that the vast majority – perhaps three @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never have a cough or fever .
Thus , they would never think that they were sick enough to need a test , but could still pass the virus on to someone else .
The report in Science indicates that there are two infections from stealth carriers for every infection from an identified patient .
If we look at the United States , we find a large number of public figures announcing that they have either been exposed to the Wuhan Flu , or have tested positive for it .
This makes it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ broadly in the community , exactly as you would expect from the Science and South Korean numbers .
The data coming out from various governmental bodies just confirms that we are in the exponential increase phase .
Quarantine only works early , before the virus escapes .
The University of Southampton has found that the Chinese delay in quarantining Wuhan led to massive increases in the world-wide spread of Wuhan flu .
Had they acted even one week earlier , the epidemic would have been reduced by two thirds .
Three weeks earlier @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bad was going on , the world-wide reduction would have been 95 % , allowing other areas of quarantine to be beneficial .
Once you enter that vertical phase , broad quarantine doesn ’ t work .
Even if every person with symptoms was locked up , there would still be three or four others out there with the virus , spreading the infection .
It can ’ t be stopped .
It ’ s “ in the wild.
” Certainly , high risk people ought to carefully assess whether they should expose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by staying home from sporting events , but that ’ s how they should behave every day .
This is no different .
Should the Notorious RBG be protected by shutting down the Supreme Court ?
Give me a break .
Perhaps you would limit the audience for oral arguments to legal staff and appellants , but even then , no one will be close enough to the Justices to get them sick .
And SCOTUS staff could undergo screening to make certain that they aren ’ t carrying Wuhan Flu into the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as far as it should go .
Life must be allowed to go on .
But governments can ’ t allow themselves to not “ do something.
” The first Law of the Bureaucrat , which governs all of the actions of politicians , makes it clear that the politician is obviously the smartest person in the room .
And because he says we must do something , it ’ s clear that it ’ s the right thing to do .
Whether it is or not .
And since “ people will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protect the people by destroying their lives .
That ’ s right .
We don ’ t have to read the facts to know what ’ s in them .
We have to destroy peoples ’ lives to save them .
So let ’ s return to what we ( don ’ t ) know .
It ’ s clear that Wuhan Flu can be spread from coughs , sneezes , or handshakes .
It can also spread from touched surfaces .
What isn ’ t clear is how much contact or how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that infected persons attended CPAC , where thousands of people were in closed spaces , yet not one person is confirmed to have contracted the virus from that event .
President Trump shook hands with at least two infected persons , but tests negative .
Early data suggests that even among close contacts such as family members the transmission rate is 1-5 % .
These are people who have repeated contact with carriers .
This suggests that the public “ casual contact ” spreading rate is quite small .
This fits with other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ idea that merely brushing by a carrier will doom you to a terrible death is utter nonsense .
And it ’ s not the kind of nonsense that you can brush off .
It ’ s a degree of stupidity that boggles the mind .
Unfriending COVID-19 won ’ t do the trick .
Governments are causing massive harm in the name of saving us from a small threat .
They are lying to help their case .
We ’ ve seen that the actual mortality rate from the Wuhan Flu is less @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 1918 had a mortality of around 2 % .
Seasonal flu is reported to be about 0.1 % fatal , but that ’ s based on estimates , not data .
H1N1 mortality may actually be as high as 4 % , and in the swine flu epidemic , the government did nothing .
President Obama didn ’ t even talk about it until a thousand people had died .
But since upwards of thirty thousand die every year from influenza , that ’ s not a big deal .
It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ misplaced .
But just to make the picture more clear , during the MERS epidemic ( also a corona virus ) , the mortality rate for confirmed cases was up to 40 % .
SARS ( another corona virus ) had mortality rates of 15 % overall , with rates increasing in older patients .
They were also “ pandemics , ” a term used to scare the public into submission .
“ Pandemic ” just means an infection that is occurring simultaneously all over the world .
The common cold is just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is another , but as we ’ ve seen , it isn ’ t any worse than a lot of other diseases .
It ’ s no Ebola , where your survival is in question the moment you get it .
Rather , as Italy has discovered , older people with multiple medical problems are at highest risk .
As of March 18 , of the 2,503 deaths , only 12 had no previous health problems .
The average fatality had 2.7 comorbid conditions .
All younger deaths occurred in patients with serious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
When a virus is in the wild , closing down whole industries and putting people out of work is stupid .
It will do little or nothing to slow down the disease , since two thirds of all new cases come from asymptomatic carriers that will not be identified .
Such quarantines are fools ’ errands .
They make people unable to buy food , pay rent , or keep the lights on .
And they can ’ t get their medicines .
Offloading daily support tasks to others who “ aren @ @ @ @ @ @ @ change anything , since large numbers of them are actually infected , but we just don ’ t know it .
Quarantines are designed to stop the spread of infections .
That horse has left the barn , and the entire farm is on fire .
The only approach that can help at this point is “ reverse isolation.
” In Washington-speak , that is “ social distancing.
” In short , don ’ t deliberately expose yourself to the bug .
We know that coughs can easily spread droplets six feet .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ twelve feet .
And the virus can persist on surfaces for up to three days .
If the South Korea data is accurate and 4.4 % of people carry the bug , then going anywhere that 16 people have been cuts your chance of not being exposed to less than 50/50 .
( .956 x .956 x .956… ) In short , because the Wuhan Flu is in the wild , you will be exposed .
And you have four times the chance of being exposed from a stealth carrier as you do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the government commands make sense .
Large , close quarters assemblies definitely increase the risk of transmission .
But one has to question banning professional outdoor sports .
Yes , the fan favorites at a golf tournament bunch up .
But the UV light from the sun is an excellent disinfectant .
Your grandmother knew that before the science was proven .
Businesses can use UV light in off hours to sterilize rooms .
The Chinese are now using it to clean buses .
But government restrictions are putting a straightjacket on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have lost their jobs or had their hours reduced as a result of the government-imposed measures .
Employers who can ’ t do business are being required to pay money they don ’ t have in sick leave and other financial benefits .
And now the government is simply printing money to drop from helicopters as a sop to devastated families .
These measures will ultimately kill many Americans for a variety of reasons , all because of a disease that is comparable to the seasonal flu we ’ ve had every year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can not avoid the Wuhan Flu virus if you go out in public , the onus is now on you to self protect .
But for whom is this most concerning ?
Obviously , the presently ill .
They need to avoid compounding their problem with a virus .
But that is the fact for them at all times .
The common cold kills just as effectively when it progresses to bronchitis and then pneumonia .
But we say that the person died of pneumonia , not the common cold .
Life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new hazard , but it is competing with all the others , and because of news reporting and political expediency , it will kill many more than it should .
Note : “ Wuhan Flu ” is used because it makes sense , even though it ’ s not an influenza virus .

Let’s ignore the accusations that the Wuhan Flu (COVID-19) was engineered, or that it was spread by poorly paid workers selling lab animals in the meat market. Those rumors are unimportant now. What we know about the spread of the disease is crucial. Before I go further, allow me step back to my teenage years when I went through certification for the Red Cross Water Safety Instructor certificate. A key aspect of rendering aid to a drowning person was to keep a cool head, remembering that the victim would likely be subject to a “sudden, unreasoning fear” (“panic”) and might easily drown the unprepared rescuer right along with himself.

Governments are causing massive harm in the name of saving us from a small threat. They are lying to help their case. We’ve seen that the actual mortality rate from the Wuhan Flu is less than 1%.

“Nations, states, and central banks are quietly but rapidly shifting their money to precious metals. With bank runs, recession, CBDCs, and worse on the horizon, it’s easy to see why. NOW is the time to learn more about moving portions of your retirement or wealth to a self-directed gold and silver IRA through an America-First, Christian precious metals company.” – JD Rucker (not a financial advisor, just a guy who’s paying attention)
Some of the government commands make sense. Large, close quarters assemblies definitely increase the risk of transmission. But one has to question banning professional outdoor sports. Yes, the fan favorites at a golf tournament bunch up. But the UV light from the sun is an excellent disinfectant. Your grandmother knew that before the science was proven. Businesses can use UV light in off hours to sterilize rooms. The Chinese are now using it to clean buses.
But government restrictions are putting a straightjacket on the economy. 18% of US workers have lost their jobs or had their hours reduced as a result of the government-imposed measures. Employers who can’t do business are being required to pay money they don’t have in sick leave and other financial benefits. And now the government is simply printing money to drop from helicopters as a sop to devastated families. These measures will ultimately kill many Americans for a variety of reasons, all because of a disease that is comparable to the seasonal flu we’ve had every year. This is beyond stupid.
Because you cannot avoid the Wuhan Flu virus if you go out in public, the onus is now on you to self protect. But for whom is this most concerning? Obviously, the presently ill. They need to avoid compounding their problem with a virus. But that is the fact for them at all times. The common cold kills just as effectively when it progresses to bronchitis and then pneumonia. But we say that the person died of pneumonia, not the common cold.
Life is hazardous. Wuhan Flu is a new hazard, but it is competing with all the others, and because of news reporting and political expediency, it will kill many more than it should.
Note: “Wuhan Flu” is used because it makes sense, even though it’s not an influenza virus. We might also call is the “Kung Flu” as one Twitter voice has.
