Welcome to the 7th article in our new section on religion: Christian Nation.

Pope Leo XIV would have dismissed the Prophet Jeremiah as a fearmongering fatalist. Yahweh had guaranteed his people bulletproof security in a blue-chip covenant. Why, then, did this doom merchant have to peddle pessimism and warn of impending destruction?

Jeremiah was a pain in the nation’s posterior. Not having read Nostra Aetate, he was too rigid to accompany the inclusive Israelites in their visits to the high places of Baal. Instead of delighting in religious diversity, he was constantly castigating the sin of syncretism.

Worse, he wasn’t a team player. If he had only harkened to the plurality of prophetic voices proclaiming “peace” he might have toned down his paranoid predictions of enemy invasion and imminent exile. Jeremiah suffered from Babyloniophobia. Not having read Fratelli tutti, he couldn’t understand that the Babylonians were brothers, not enemies.

On December 23rd of the year 962 A.D. the city of Aleppo was sacked by Byzantine troops belonging to Emperor Nicephorus II Phocas.

Aleppo had been conquered 18 years before by a formidable Muslim leader: Sayf al-Dawla (which means: “Sword of the Dynasty”) who ruled most of northern Syria.

He was the chief Arab power against the Byzantine Empire, and his life was spent in warfare against them. In a short span from 945-946 A.D. it was said that al-Dawla engaged the Byzantines in over forty battles.

Welcome to the sixth article in our new section on religion: Christian Nation.

This piece originally appeared at The Stream.

It might have started as a joke. Some guy got fed up with having to watch made-for-the-ladies Hallmark films about snuggling, egg-nog, and snow. (Hallmark is my girlfriend’s favorite network, so I feel his pain.) He noticed that the rip-roaring fun action movie Die Hard was also set at Christmas.

And he drew a theological inference. Namely, that wholesome winter romance is no more intrinsically linked than is killing terrorists in a skyscraper to the Incarnation of Christ. So he started making the claim: “Die Hard is a Christmas movie!”

Or even: “Die Hard is the best Christmas movie ever.”

That of course is silly. There are many, many better claimants to that title. I’ll offer my favorite. By Frank Capra, of course: Meet John Doe, with Gary Cooper. It’s a funny, dark, unsettling look at how cynical media figures and politicians can exploit the common man, and take away his liberty. It hinges on what “John Doe,” a washed-up baseball-player-turned-hobo will do on Christmas Eve. Will he make good on his widely-publicized promise to jump off the top of New York’s City Hall as a protest against the state of the world? Or will he find forgiveness, love, and hope?

Go stream it on Amazon Prime. You won’t regret it.

The Best Christmas Movies

I’m sure you have other candidates. My list of favorites would include The Ref with Dennis Leary, and (especially for kids) Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.

And obviously, It’s a Wonderful Life, a powerful film that explores despair and suicide, and originally flopped at the box office. It only became a Christmas classic by a quirk of copyright law. The studio forgot to renew its rights, hence the show was free to broadcast without any royalties. So small, local TV stations not connected to networks began to air it, wall to wall, at Christmastime. Then, and only then, did viewers discover what a great piece of art it is.

It might have been even better, had the studio kept its original ending. Instead of singing “Auld Lang Syne,” the Baileys and friends originally bowed their heads and prayed the Our Father! That’s right, that’s exactly how the ending was shot. But British censors bizarrely considered the use of a prayer in a commercial film potentially blasphemous, and threatened to ban it. So the deeply Catholic Frank Capra shot another ending — the one we know.

Die Hard Holds Up Really Well

Okay, back to Die Hard. I saw it when it came out back in 1988. But then, I went to see every movie that played at the dollar theater near my apartment in Baton Rouge. (The cinema’s air conditioning was much better than mine.) I didn’t notice the Christmas theme, and didn’t remember much about the film. It was only when Alamo Drafthouse in Dallas threw a Christmas party last year featuring the film that I saw it again, on Christmas Eve.

And I loved it. The film holds up really well, unlike so many movies from three decades back. The action scenes were gripping. The jokes are still pretty funny. And Alan Rickman’s villain stands as a character for the ages, with his bored, blasé sadism, and unflappable self-assurance.

But why call this a Christmas movie? Why insist on that?

The Religion of Humanity

I think there’s a deeper reason than simply trolling anti-gun activists and irritating pacifists. Or even teasing the girls. Linking Christmas with a movie like this is a way of expressing something much more profound, if unspoken. We’re sick to death of emasculated, sappy, smarmy social justice religion. I won’t say “Christianity,” because this world view isn’t Christian — not matter how many lesbians in Roman collars or campy Jesuits in cashmere say otherwise from pulpits.

No, the new religion that dominates Mainline churches (both Protestant and Catholic) is the “religion of humanity.” As Daniel Mahoney notes in his brilliant new book which I’m still reading, The Idol of Our Age, that creed isn’t even a Christian heresy. The sentimental humanism which dominates the UN, global elites, the European Union, and nowadays the Vatican, was consciously created by non-believers like August Comte to replace Christianity.

Unlike ancient paganism, it claims to be perfectly rational and to value human dignity. It appropriates from Christian doctrine certain slogan and sentiments. Sometimes it takes over major Christian institutions. But in fact such humanism is just a kind of minstrel show, which lets unbelievers craft a parody of Christian ethics that degrades the genuine article and insults our intelligence.

We’re watching this parody worldwide now: a virtual blackface act that doesn’t deploy our faith but insults it. I could multiply examples almost endlessly. I could track down actresses who favor partial birth abortion but loudly object to deer-hunting. Or ethics professors who promote both veganism and euthanasia. But let me stay closer to home.

Pope Francis, Vicar of Comte

You’ll remember that the Vatican endorsed the Global Pact for Immigration in 2018, which called for UN control over the flow of people. That is de facto open borders policy enforced by a burgeoning world government. And the same week, it rejected the desperate plea of persecuted Catholic mom Asia Bibi for political asylum. That was a matter of internal Pakistani sovereignty, a cardinal said.

No, don’t punch your laptop screen or hurl your phone across the room. I can do even better. Let me reach back just a little. Read this Reuters report. On June 21, 2015, Pope Francis denounced:

“…people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit a distrust, doesn’t it?” he said to applause.

He also criticized those who invest in weapons industries, saying “duplicity is the currency of today … they say one thing and do another.”

Then in the very same speech, the pope spoke of the Holocaust. He said: The great powers had the pictures of the railway lines that brought the trains to the concentration camps like Auschwitz to kill Jews, Christians, homosexuals, everybody. Why didn’t they bomb (the railway lines)?

So is it Christian to make weapons and use them, or not? If not, then where do we get the bombs and planes and pilots to take out railway lines that lead to death camps? How would we take down regimes like Hitler’s that run such camps? Should Christians keep our hands “clean” by avoiding all acts of violence? Should we count on the lowly pagans among us to keep the peace and keep out tyrants’ armies?

When Christian discourse is constantly, everywhere, degraded and made ridiculous, it just feels good to reach out to Bruce Willis and embrace his action movie as a feel-good Christian classic. It shows a good man risking his life again and again to save the life of his estranged wife and a bunch of total strangers. Die Hard doesn’t mince words in depicting villains as evil. It doesn’t remake Jesus as the love child of Gandhi and Barney the Purple dinosaur. The film shows us that part of being good, and being a man, and being a good man, is the willingness to use violence under the right circumstances. It reminds us of the saints who preached and even fought on Crusades.

And that’s why Die Hard is both more human and more Christian than much of what’s coming from our pulpits.

Christmas blessings on my readers and their families, and Yippee ki-yay to all.

Welcome to the fifth article in our new section on religion: Christian Nation.

On December 4th, 2025, the White House released the Trump Administration’s new National Security Strategy. This supersedes Biden’s 2022 one, and in some ways resumes the NSS from the first Trump administration.

I analyzed both of those prior security roadmaps a few years ago, but the biggest differences between the current NSS and the two earlier agendas are 1) the new one emphatically rejects the conventional “wisdom,” pro-globalist, bipartisan American approach to foreign policy since World War II and epitomized by Biden’s NSS; and 2) Trump II is much more nationalist than it was even the first time.

And while it doesn’t manifest “Christian Nationalism” this new security plan is certainly coming from a position of “Cultural Nationalism.”

Dear Subscribers,

Two of the most hotly debated issues of the year are tariffs and the influence of the Israel lobby on U.S. foreign policy. And our friends at Calamo Press happen to have published two of the best books of 2025 on these two topics: Dark Crusade: The Israel Lobby and Christian Zionism and Reshore: How Tariffs Will Bring Our Jobs Home and Revive the American Dream.

If you want to know why 1,000 pastors recently traveled to Israel to enlist them as partners for the nation of Israel or why Netanyahu has visited the White House four times this year already or to understand the massive pressure Charlie Kirk was under from his Jewish/Zionist donors, then you must read Dark Crusade: The Israel Lobby and Christina Zionism by Dr. Clifford Kiracofe. Kiracofe is one of the leading experts on Christian Zionism as a political movement. Dark Crusade is a phenomenal resource and I enthusiastically recommend that all my readers purchase a copy.

Just for my readers, enter EMERALD to receive 30% off.

The other book I highly recommend is Reshore: How Tariffs Will Bring Our Jobs Home and Revive the American Dream. Reshore does an excellent job of explaining the consequences of hallowing out of our manufacturing sector. Communities broken, lives destroyed and our national security put at risk. The book is not simply about tariffs, it is about restoring our middle class. The second edition is beautiful and is a book you will proudly display on your bookshelf.

Jeff Childers and his COVID & Coffee Crew sent out a newsletter recently to rally the patriots to help Mike Lindell in Minnesota.

So I wanted to share it with my subscribers too.

It’s time for a new C&C multiplier! For new readers, we invented the multiplier during the worst days of the pandemic, as a way to at least strike back against media attacks on courageous conservatives through small donations. We’ve supported some of the (now) most effective influencers when they were much less well known, like Libs of TikTok and Chris Rufo, frontline doctors, and key politicians in important races.

The way it works is: I ask every reader of today’s post to take 30 seconds and make a small, affordable donation to our target —every single one— and because of C&C’s vast readership, it usually amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Acting together, we wield billionaire influence. Sometimes you might not love the target — but we ask you to join anyway, and we’ll do the same next time.

It’s also fun! When you donate, choose an amount that ends in a “2” — like $2, $10.22, $22, and so on. Then you can check in later, and enjoy seeing the flood of C&C donations that you helped create, either on the donation page or in the comments. Sometimes I can even reach the target’s team and get us a total.

Our multiplier target today is Mike Lindell, who yesterday announced he’s running for Minnesota governor against ridiculous caricature and former VP candidate Tim “the Coach” Walz, who oversaw the largest welfare fraud in American history.

Here’s the link. Click through and donate any affordable amount ending in ‘2.’ It takes seconds; do it now before you forget or get distracted, then come back and read today’s post.

The Coach is very upset. His angst ironically provoked his first blunder, which was using the words “con man” in a tweet, since he’s currently drowning in a corruption scandal (or “con”) of his own (and was promptly ratioed):

Mike Lindell is a legitimate candidate. He has excellent executive experience, MAGA bona fides, proven patriotism, and likely President Trump’s support. Critics complain about negatives such as Lindell’s 2020 ‘election denialism,’ which (they say) may spook independents. Either way, our multiplier is not only about helping elect Lindell, but even more about sending a message.

Tomorrow, Lindell’s campaign can announce thousands of grassroots donations.

Trust me: you’ll feel terrific after you chip in.

Here’s the link again. Do it now!

My Dear Subscribers,

We just passed the four-year birthday for my Substack, The Right Way, and we are expanding our operation as we head into 2026.

This year, we have just launched another new section called CHRISTIAN NATION — with timely reporting, incisive commentary, and well-informed analysis from some of the best conservative Christian journalists and scholars writing in English. We’ve started it for a simple reason: because most of the old and trusted Christian ones have failed us badly the last few years.

Christianity Today? It was founded by the great Billy Graham, but it’s now run by Kamala Harris donors.

Fox News? It helped convince America that Joe Biden was honestly elected, and the January 6 protestors were dangerous “insurrectionists.”

The mainline Protestants? They now ask people for their pronouns, and hang rainbow flags in their sanctuaries. Many pastors took money from the Biden regime in return for sermons on mandatory vaccines and draconian lockdowns.

The Catholic bishops? Many of them are trying to undermine our immigration laws — and most Catholic magazines pretend that the Vatican’s new embrace of open borders has some doctrinal authority.

The failure of so many Christian elites in America is a little overwhelming, we have to confess. Where can believers turn for principled defenses of liberty, Western civilization, America First foreign policy, and the defense of Christians persecuted abroad and here at home?

We hope you will turn to Christian Nation — which will offer perspectives that don’t find a home anywhere else, and give you the intellectual ammunition you need to defend your faith, deploy your reason, and bolster both friends and family in these deeply confusing times.

Please join us and subscribe today.

Welcome to the fifth article in our new section on religion: Christian Nation.

The first face-to-face meeting between Zohran Mamdani and President Trump turned out to be anything but what had been anticipated. After months of trading insults, they appeared lighthearted, cordial and convivial before the reporters in the Oval Office on November 21st. One cannot help but wonder what kind of spell Mamdani cast on President Trump during the 45-minute closed-door-meeting, which left Trump infatuated with the man he’d called a “communist,” who had called him “a fascist.”

There were many jaw-dropping moments in the Oval Office where President Trump acted as Mamdani’s supporter and protector. He dismissed Elise Stefanik’s charge of Mamdani as an antisemite and “jihadist” mad man, saying, “I just met with a man who’s a very rational person,” one who allegedly cares about peace in the Middle East. Did Trump realize that his remark would undoubtedly frustrate Stefanik — and her campaign team — currently vying for New York’s governorship? Trump also waved off a question by a reporter about Mamdani’s democratic socialism, claiming that he and the mayor-elect shared many similar ideas, while Trump was willing to put aside their ideological differences.

Welcome to the fourth article in our new section on religion: Christian Nation.

When Pope Leo XIV was elected, I realized what was happening. Pope Francis had been too radical, too overtly Marxist, too crass. He kept doing friendly interviews with atheists, defending sexual predators, and making deals with the Chinese Communist organ thieves. He turned the stove up too high, so the frogs began to realize that they were getting boiled. Even the mediocre, faithless Globalist cardinals with whom he’d stacked the electorate realized that they couldn’t impose another low-IQ Third World sociopath on the throne — lest Americans cut off the finances which are the lifeblood of the Vatican.

Instead they would elect an actual American! Yes, they’d install a candidate who rose through the ranks in the Chicago machine built by Saul Alinsky ally Cardinal Joseph Bernardin — the man who invented the “Seamless Garment” as a g-string for pro-abortion Democrats with Irish and Italian last names. The new pope would soft-pedal the socialism, the ecological madness — even the LGBTQMYNAMEISLEGION advocacy that was irking the Americans — as long as he stayed true to the one essential program that advanced the Globalist goal: opening the borders of every Western country to conquest by Third World immigrants.

You don’t understand what’s happening to America because you don’t know that senior members of the CIA are on the payroll of Cuban intelligence and they helped election fraud.

In other words: the CIA was defeated by our enemies.

So who is actually running the CIA right now while CIA Director Ratcliffe does nothing?

According to my sources: Obama’s CIA chief John Brennan is still in charge.

How’s that possible? Because his allies and subordinates were never fired at Langley.

And President Trump has not arrested Brennan.
