The Woke Reich Hijacks the White House's Religious Liberties Commission
Yesterday the White House Religious Liberties Commission met, a commission that includes various bishops, priests, pastors, preachers, rabbis, people like Dr. Ben Carson, and a former beauty pageant participant, Carrie Prejean Boller. I’m not very familiar with Ms. Boller and had to look her up, after she seemed combative and singularly out of her depth compared to the rest of the group.
Boller, a big Candace Owens Gal Sharpton fan, purposefully hijacked the meeting to zealously defend Owens, rail on “Zionists” and generate video she could share of herself online. She targeted the Babylon Bee’s Seth Dillion in an angry exchange, which left the other participants looking rather stunned. I spied Dr. Phil at one moment with his hands clasped together and eyebrows raised. Texas’s Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, of all people, had to interrupt her and refocus the discussion.
Some people throw around the term “antisemitic” when no actual antisemitism exists. When describing Owens, this is not the case. Boller then tweeted about not being a “slave to a foreign nation” …
… while wearing a Hamas/Gazan flag pin (coupled with the American flag) onstage:
Self awareness isn’t a strong suit.
Boller has now spent the past 24 hours portraying herself as a victim while claiming that any and all disagreement with her opinions are a violation of the First Amendment. Many not-new-for-clicks Catholics are in strong condemnation.
Boller was previously Miss California USA but had her title taken after the reported emergence of a sex tape and photos, which apparently violated the character clause of her contract. At the time she claimed that she was jettisoned from the organization due to her position on same-sex marriage, but after seeing the dishonest manner in which she’s handled herself in this latest mess, I’m inclined to not believe a word from her regarding how she lost her title. It really does seem like a pattern: spin criticism of a self-inflicted error as an “attack” and claim the mantle of victim — very much like the left does.
It’s also a growing trend with new “Christian conservatives” on the “right:” make questionable choices, crash out entirely, and blame everyone else for your mistakes. The thing that yokes all of them together is their shared jihad against what they think is “Zionism.” I’m not even sure they can actually define it, but it doesn’t matter, because from what I’ve seen them explain it’s that everyone who doesn’t agree that Hamas aren’t the bad guys in Gaza is a “Zionist,” anyone who thinks Israel has a right to exist are “Zionists,” anyone who thinks Israel is an ally is a “Zionist,” and anyone who disagrees with their definition of “Zionism” is “attacking their First Amendment.” There is no nuance or dictionaries with these people — people who can’t explain the difference between Issac Herzog and Benjamin Netanyahu’s roles but want you to earnestly believe that their criticism is only with the Israeli government, and not just Jews, universally. Sure.
I refer to them as many do, the “Woke Reich.”
I may not agree with certain Scriptural interpretations regarding end times prophecies, but I do believe that a people, Israel, who have lived in an area for thousands of years, a fact supported by thousands of years of Christian, Jewish, Zoroastrian, Islamic, et al. antiquity should continue living there if they so choose, and have their own sovereign state, also if they so choose. I like having Israel as an ally in a region where allies are nonexistent, an ally that is required to only buy our weaponry and munitions per agreement, an ally that votes with us every time at the performative freakshow called the U.N., an ally that handles issues which may arise over there so we don’t have to deal with them over here. I have further elaborated in minute detail repeatedly, endlessly on air. You get the idea. As I’ve said before, “Palestine” is a made-up word taken from a spiteful term coined after the second Judaean uprising by Hadrian and named for the Jewish people’s longtime enemy: a sea-faring people called the Philistines from Crete (absent from the area for about around 200 years). Islamists want to retcon the existence of migrated Jordanians into a never-before existed land (also supported by thousands of years of antiquity) and people to claim supremacy. As a result, no, I don’t agree with the Woke Reich’s belief in the fairytale of the ancient “Palestinian” people. Just as I don’t believe boys can become girls, climate change is real, (it’s called weather), or that Epstein hung himself.
I also believe that it’s blasphemy to use the phrase “Christ is king” as a cudgel specifically when discussing or debating Jewish people — much like people say “bless your heart” in the south when they most assuredly are not blessing your heart. My experience isn’t much different from Dillon’s in that I’ve had people verbatim tweet to me “Christ is king you dumb Jew” and I’m not even remotely Jewish.
Christians are called to use our discernment (Proverbs 10:13; Proverbs 14:8; 1 Kings 3:9; 1 Kings 4:29; Philippians 1:10; John 7:24; etc.). The promotion of falsehoods and identity politics-based division is not a symptom of being with the Spirit and walking with Christ. It’s evidence of a self-serving, ungodly, and sinful nature.
But whatever it takes for clout these days, huh?
