He is co-author with Jason Jones of “God, Guns, & the Government.”   John Zmirak's new book: No Second Amendment, No First  by John Zmirak  Available March 19, 2024 Today's Left endlessly preaches the evils of “gun violence." It is a message increasingly echoed from the nation's pulpits, presented as common-sense decency and virtue. Calls for “radical non-violence” are routinely endowed with the imprimatur of religious doctrine.   But what if such teachings were misguided, even damaging? What if the potential of a citizenry to exercise force against violent criminals and tyrannical governments is not just compatible with church teaching, but flows from the very heart of Biblical faith and reason? What if the freedoms we treasure are intimately tied to the power to resist violent coercion?  This is the long-overdue case John Zmirak makes with stunning clarity and conviction in No Second Amendment, No First. A Yale-educated journalist and former college professor, Zmirak shows how the right of self-defense against authoritarian government was affirmed in both the Old and New Testaments, is implied in Natural Law, and has been part of Church tradition over the centuries.   Zmirak further shows how today's mounting threats to the gun rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment are inexorably linked to the   Article from John Zmirak.  Elon and His Team Inside the Deep State Are Frodo and Sam in Mordor By John Zmirak Published on February 12, 2025 John Zmirak The more we see our country's ruling elites in action, using unelected judges to twist the Constitution and deprive our elected president of his legitimate authority, the more crucial it is for us to embrace a paradigm shift. We must change how we see our government and the system we now live under — radically. Perhaps because for the past three Mondays I've been viewing the extended, almost four-hour versions of Peter Jackson's masterful The Lord of Rings trilogy, I can't help viewing the paradigm shift we need in Tolkien's mythic terms. Put bluntly, we don't live in Gondor under the flawed steward Denethor anymore, as we did in past decades. Or even in Rohan, with King Theoden bewitched by his evil advisor Wormtongue (and behind him the wizard Saruman). We live in Mordor. Yes, it's a place where elves and the Men of the West have just scored a rare, if incomplete victory. But the war is far from over. The rulers of Mordor weaponized the COVID panic to impose a public health dictatorship, lock us in our homes, close our churches, censor our media, force untested vaccines into our arms, kill our seniors by dumping virus patients in nursing homes, then incincerating them as medical waste, graft the cells of newly aborted babies onto the scalps of mice (using taxpayer funds, approved by Regime evangelical Francis Collins, never criticized by globalist Pope Francis), steal the 2020 election, and imprison peaceful protestors. The people who did all that weren't misguided, overzealous, or grossly misinformed. They were orcs, and their leaders were Nazgul. They were hungry for absolute power — and for a while they seemed to have it. At least they acted that way — as if the whip would always be in their hands no matter what we did. That's why such people felt entitled to gloat when patriotic black entrepreneur Hermann Cain died of COVID after attending a Donald Trump rally, even as they unleashed mobs of looters and rioters on our cities in honor of career criminal George Floyd. And now those same elites are using their top-notch legal teams and biased judges to cling to every scrap of money and power they took from us during the years of that dictatorship the same way that Communist judges in Poland clung to their privileges after Solidarity got elected and loyal Nazis tried to keep their privileges after 1945. How else to explain a federal judge telling the appointed, duly confirmed Secretary of the Treasury that he can't view his own department's computer files? Or demanding that race-based discrimination be reimposed — against the president's policies? As I watched The Return of the King, with Frodo and Sam cautiously working their way into the heart of Sauron's kingdom, aiming to hurl the corrupting Ring of Power into the fires where it was forged, I couldn't help thinking of the hobbits attempting to do the same for us right now: Elon Musk and his plucky team of brilliant young hackers and analysts. They're the ones exposing the “humanitarian” programs of USAID that tried to convince young African boys that they might be trans, to intimidate Latin American governments into legalizing abortion, and to censor the global media in support of the COVID lockdowns and the useless Ukraine war. Just yesterday, the news broke that in only three weeks, they've saved American taxpayers a BILLION dollars — the vast majority of it coming from cutting DEI efforts within government programs. And now Musk's team members are being hunted, getting doxed and demonized in our media, with corrupt prosecutors and judges seeking ways to cripple their efforts and maybe even arrest them (as they arrested and imprisoned Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro). What can we do on these heroes' behalf? First of all we can pray, and it's our duty to get busy doing that. Secondly we can emulate what Aragorn, Gandalf, and the other heroes did after defending Minas Tirith: They marched to Sauron's gate, braved the full force of his armies, and took his attention away from the genuine threat he faced. We must do a similar service for Trump and his team. We must loudly support whatever peaceful measures, whatever innovative deployment of presidential power he attempts, to defy these biased judges and impose the will of the people — as expressed in the 2024 election, which the orcs weren't able to steal. Pope Francis Goes Full Alexander VI, Appointing Leftist Bishops Who Wield Excommunication Threats A pope more interested in leftist politics than in maintaining his church's historic teachings or protecting children from harm has started meddling directly in the enforcement of our country's just, democratically enacted laws: The Vatican has appointed Edward Weisenburger to be Archbishop of Detroit. As Lifesitenews reports: In 2018, at the USCCB's Spring Assembly in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the prelate suggested that Catholics who “are involved” in the detention of immigrants and separation of families at the U.S. border might receive “canonical penalties” usually used in “life issues” cases, which could include excommunication. “For the salvation of these people's souls, maybe it's time for us to look at canonical penalties,” Weisenburger claimed at the time. In other words, if you're a Catholic who advocates for a secure U.S. border and only legal immigration going forward, this guy wants to see you excommunicated. Make no mistake, Weisenburger spent the COVID panic serving the Nazgul and the orcs: The 64-year-old Weisenburger, a canon lawyer, was among the most stringent in America in applying restrictions on the faithful during the COVID crisis, closing churches and implementing mask mandates in the spring of 2020 while encouraging Catholics to take the abortion-tainted COVID-19 jabs. Weisenburger released a statement in September 2021 instructing all priests within his Arizona diocese “not to cooperate with any individuals seeking our endorsement of an exemption from vaccine or facemask mandates based specifically upon our Catholic faith.” He added that “[a]ll current anti-COVID-19 vaccines may be received by the faithful without moral compromise.” Upon reopening churches to public Masses in October 2020, the bishop stressed that the dispensation from attendance “remains in place and I have consistently encouraged those identified by the Centers for Disease Control as ‘at-risk' to not attend Mass in person, but rather to view a televised or internet Mass from home.” He also issued a directive to priests not to distribute Holy Communion in the mouth and to only hear the Sacrament of Confession outdoors. Later, in 2021, Weisenburger signed a letter alongside eight other U.S. prelates aligning themselves with the LGBT activist group Tyler Clementi Foundation, which seeks to “reduce the shame and stigma” of homosexual lifestyles. In line with Pope Francis, the archbishop-elect has also made “climate change” a central issue, calling it a matter of “life and death” and thanking the Pope for focusing on the topic in his encyclical Laudato Si' and subsequent apostolic exhortation Laudate Deum. The Pope Rebukes J.D. Vance for Repeating Real Catholic Doctrine Pope Francis has gone further, issuing a document implicitly rebuking Vice President J.D. Vance (a Catholic convert) for reiterating traditional Catholic (and perennial Christian teaching) that we owe special duties to our families, neighbors, and fellow citizens that we don't owe to foreign invaders or fake asylum seekers. In his statement, Francis condemns “any measure that tacitly or explicitly identifies the illegal status of some migrants with criminality.” Never mind that the Catholic Catechism teaches that to earn the right to welcome, immigrants must obey their new countries' laws. According to Francis, doing illegal things isn't “criminal,” and if you can't wrap your mind around that logic, you might find yourself outside the church. Will patriotic Catholics cave at the threat of unjust (and therefore in God's eyes, null and void) excommunications? Not if they're like Trump's border czar Tom Homan: Don't miss Jules Gomes's coverage later this morning of the corrupt, scandal-plagued Vatican aid agency CARITAS, which soaks up U.S. taxpayer money and whose leader is joining Francis's chorus of sycophants denouncing American law and demanding that Catholics flout it. Along The Stream… Up later this morning, be sure to watch the great Naomi Wolf expose the extent to which forced vaccination laws backed by Big Pharma still impinge on parents' rights to watch over their children's health. Also later today, Pastor Shane Idleman offers a powerful video message on biblical self-discipline, self-control, and the corporal means we can use to achieve those, including fasting.   John Zmirak is a senior editor at The Stream and author or coauthor of 14 books, including The Politically Incorrect Guide to Immigration and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Catholicism. His newest book is No Second Amendment, No First.

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 2:6-7)   Between the “by grace you have been saved” of verse five and the “by grace you have been saved” of verse eight, comes this powerful picture of what that grace means. Not only has God saved us from the death of sin and evil by “raising us” up to a new, resurrection life in the life of Christ, but he has raised us all the way up.  We usually stop the good news of the gospel after we've said the words death and resurrection.  But Paul doesn't.  He says we've been raised all the way—raised up with Christ through his resurrection, ascension, and his enthronement.  We are with him in the heavenly realms, seated with him in the throne room of heaven where all things dwell under the rule and reign of our King Jesus.  We are there, seated not under him, but with him.  As if we were his siblings, co-heirs to the throne.   That's a powerful place to be.  And it rhymes with everything that has come before.  Like in chapter 1:3 where Paul praises the God who has “blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.”  Yes—here we are, seated with Christ in the heavenly realms between grace upon grace.  Or in chapter 1:20-21 where we hear of God's power for us, which is the same as that which “raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.”   It's a beautiful picture of unassailable power—a perfectly complete salvation.  Such a contrast from those opening words of “dead in your transgressions.”   And yet: I write this sitting in the church at 61 Mohawk Road West.  I can assure you that my feet are firmly on the ground of planet earth this cold and cloudy day as the trees look increasingly bare.  Paul's vision of us with Jesus in the heavenly realms doesn't quite line up with reality, does it?   Or does it?   I think Paul invites us here to see beyond what we can see.  In the eyes of God: all of this “raising up” is already accomplished.  It is as good as done.  His promise is sure, his grace irresistible, and his power complete.  Nothing can steal us out of his hand or out of the future with King Jesus that Paul paints.   The challenge is holding onto this vision of our true, royal salvation reality amidst the pain, sorrow, and suffering of still sin-broken world.  I think that's why Paul paints the vision so starkly.   I have to think of the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers movie where Gandalf shows up in King Theoden's court under a gray cloak.  He is announced as Gandalf the Grey and hobbles forward on the arm of a companion as if an old man.  He approaches the bewitched king as if to set him free from Saruman's spell.  But the king just laughs: “you have no power here, Gandalf the Grey” he cackles.  Then Gandalf takes off his cloak, revealing the White robes of his newly established power as Gandalf the White—immediately the light shines forth and the powers of darkness are quickly dispelled (you can watch it here). So it is here in Ephesians 2 and in our lives.  Remember that underneath the grey, shabby veneer of the darkness and difficulty of our lives, a truer reality exists.  It is the bright and powerful reality of who we are and what we have in Jesus Christ and his power: the incomparably great riches of his grace that saves us and gives us the unshakable promise of a future.  

Are you prepared to wage the battle for hope? As fathers and leaders, we're not just fighting for our own souls. We're contending for the souls of our children, the future generation. We're on a quest to discover how to provide beams of hope amidst the swirling tempests of life. In this pursuit, we turn to Tolkien's The Return of the King, examining the character of Denethor, a symbol of despair and defeat. We also reflect on the importance of raising our children to be strong, courageous, and hopeful.In the midst of the raging battle at the Pelennor Fields, we take inspiration from King Theoden, another character from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Theoden's story speaks of despair transformed into courage, glory, and a brave death. His tale teaches us the lesson of resurrection hope, the ultimate white pill in the face of death. We also explore the resurgence of cultures that go down fighting and delve into why the youth of today are embracing post-millennialism as a way of maintaining hope in the future.Diving further, we scrutinize the role of media consumption in conservative culture and how it feeds into a narrative of decline. But we're not stopping there. We're charting out ways to combat this mindset, gleaning lessons from Theoden's example. We're striving to guide you in leading your families with bravery and optimism, armed with faith, joy, and an unshakeable belief in the promises of the Lord. We invite you to join us on this journey towards hope and resilience.Notes: This episode is sponsored by Salt and Strings butchery.

Theoden, held under the spell of Saruman and twisted by the words of Grima Wormtongue, is the perfect picture of a black-pilled man. But the good news is he didn't stay that way. But there is also hope: Theoden is redeemed. He learns afresh courage, valor, & dies with honor, fighting for his people. At his death, he utters words that are as powerful as any offered on the battlefield. Sign up on Patreon today to get your "Hard Men Slonk Eggs" coffee mug. You're welcome.

The contrast between book Theoden and movie Theoden could hardly be more striking. Some of that is related to some plot changes introduced in the movie, but those don't justify movie Theoden's whiny attitude and complete lack of sense.

"The quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while the company is true." Galadriel's last words to the fellowship before it all but came apart at the seems. We're still going along the Lord of the Ring train tracks onto part two of this amazing trilogy. We are of course talking about The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. "The sequel to the Golden Globe-nominated and AFI Award-winning "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," "The Two Towers" follows the continuing quest of Frodo (Elijah Wood) and the Fellowship to destroy the One Ring. Frodo and Sam (Sean Astin) discover they are being followed by the mysterious Gollum. Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), the Elf archer Legolas and Gimli the Dwarf encounter the besieged Rohan kingdom, whose once great King Theoden has fallen under Saruman's deadly spell." What happens now that the fellowship has all but dissolved, and all of our companions are pretty much separated? Frodo & Sam make a frenemy, who they aren't sure they can trust, but is taking them much further than they anticipated. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are on the hunt for the Uruk's who have taken Merry and Pippin. Plus the awesome battle at Helm's Deep! This might be the most exciting of the three films!

Surveying the present troubles, you worry for the future of your country. Everything is scandalous. Everyone is either lying or all worked up about telling the truth. Wars and rumors of wars assail you in the notifications on your phone and the emails in your inbox. Each time you turn on the news there is some new accusation of bad faith being leveled. "So much death. What can men do against such reckless hate?" You find yourself echoing King Theoden. "Ride out with me," comes the reply from Aragorn. "Ride out and meet them." But suppose with me the possibility that while sometimes the answer is to ride out in literal battle against evil armies of orcs, or their human equivalent, other times the most correct response takes a very different form. Cynicism about "the American dream" noted and put aside for the time-being, we should consider what our response would be were God himself to tell us that the answer was building a nice house, planting a pleasant garden, taking a pretty wife, having lots of children with her, and raising those children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Then when those children come of age, you give them away in marriage too so they will have children of their own - being fruitful and multiplying, filling the Earth and subduing it. You know. All that jazz. But what if every step of the way you busy yourself with your house, garden, wife, children, marriage plans, and grandbabies, you are praying for and seeking the welfare of the city to which the Lord your God has brought you in your exile because in its welfare you will find your own? For my part, I believe this is the takeaway from Jeremiah 29:1-23. Whatever happens in the coming weeks, months, years, or decades, there is a long and rich Biblical tradition of God's people loving and honoring God in their cultural and societal context by starting with the faithful, diligent, optimistic, and cheerful administration of their own home. And what might we find in a few generations if this is our tact? Nothing less than God having brought the much-needed and prayed-for revival, and it having begun with us. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

The days of a friendly scuffle over a meaningless issue are long gone. Replaced now with phone recordings of fights and vicious attacks that end in serious injury, and in some cases even death. To make matters worse the norm is to stand idly by as the beatings continue. As spoken by King Theoden in Lord Of The Rings - The Two Towers, "How did it come to this?"

POP Buchanan takes us on a candid and fun journey during his first therapy session in rehab from alcohol addiction. In this episode we talk about Gandalf, King Theoden, Lord of the Rings, the importance of therapy, having a biopsychsocial done, and seeing a Psychiatrist for mental health and recovery purposes. What is Biopsychosocial-spiritual Assessment? › The social work profession is unique among healthcare disciplines in its emphasis on assessing and treating the client from a person-in-environmentperspective, meaning that social workers conceptualize the client and his or her physical and mental health needs as existing within a social context. The social worker not only looks at psychological or physical needs but also assesses how the client is affected by his or her environment and how the client's spirituality influences his or her overall sense of well-being.Spirituality can be defined as one's religious beliefs and practices as well as one's sense of purpose and meaning in life. The professional social worker understands the client as being not only a psychological, spiritual, and physical entity, but also a person who is socially engaged in relationships and who interacts with his or her environment. As the term indicates, a biopsychosocial-spiritual assessment evaluates the client in four domains: biological, psychological, social, and spiritual. This assessment is both the process of gathering information about these domains and their interactions and a written document that is used to determine treatment goals and objectives for the client • What:Biopsychosocial-spiritual assessment is a holistic approach to understanding the client's experiences, including his or her physical and mental health. The biopsychosocial-spiritual assessment is the primary means used by the social worker to evaluate a client's treatment needs.

Do you ever find yourself ruminating over poor decisions you've made? Perhaps you become anxious over what might happen or what could have happened, and it makes you fearful.   I've experienced this recently. It feels like a fog envelops your mind and you can't escape the negative thought cycles. A friend described it as a huge snowball that keeps gaining momentum as it rolls downhill—like an avalanche of thoughts. The only way to stop it is with the right strategies and outside help.   In The Fellowship of the Ring, J.R.R. Tolkein paints a picture of King Theoden getting caught in the mental web spun by Wormtongue. Theoden becomes increasingly incapacitated as he believes lies, and eventually, he can no longer think for himself.   Likewise, when we get caught ruminating over negative thoughts, we can find ourselves trapped in a web of our own making.   For complete show notes: maninthepew.com/gc77

As Frodo and Sam continue with Gollum toward Mordor, we’re reminded that in 1970, Gollum would have just been an actor in makeup. Stop reading this, close your eyes, and just picture an actor dressed as Gollum. In the movie makeup of 1970. Honestly, how great is that??Meanwhile, things continue pretty much in line with what audiences will be familiar with from the books and movies… Merry and Pippin discover Gandalf the white, then travel to Rohan to free King Theoden from the influence of Wormtongue, while Aragorn and crew meet up and ride with Eomir. Also, Shadowfax turns up. Yeah, Shadowfax. Gandalf rides around on Shadowfax. Why do I keep saying Shadowfax? I HAVE NO IDEA. All told, this is a lot more normal than what we’ve come to expect, but we’re pretty confident that it’s going to take a turn soon.In other news: Don’t forget that our patrons can join us on a livestream while we record these episodes roughly a month in advance!

Make way listeners for Prince Rostam! Here is the final chapter of our series on Iranian poet Firdawsi's Shahnameh with special guests and Persian culture & mythology experts, Katie Scott and Damir Siahkoohi. Heroic Prince Rostam labors away, beating local villagers and saving the foolhardy King Kavus who has been blinded and kidnapped by the evil white demon *cough* King Theoden and Sarumon *cough*. Rakash and Rostam rescue the king of Mazandaran and go off onto many more adventures, like accidentally committing filicide and eventually succumbing to siblicide after 600 years of living that rock & roll prince lifestyle. And we say goodbye to our special guests Katie and Damir who have been with us for this 60,000 couplet ride. Drunk Mythology is a podcast created by Krista and Christian, recounting the feats and failures of world Mythology, with a few drinks along the way.

There is a great scene in the “Lord of the Rings” second movie, where King Theoden, overcome with the great evil and seemingly overwhelming destructive force that is against him and his people, with all that he thought secure crumbling around him, for a moment loses his perception of who he is –his very identity - and cries out, “Who am I?”…to which a loyal soldier replies, “You are our king, sire.” Do you ever struggle with your identity?...especially when there is great changes and upheavals around you? Jesus came at Christmas revealing who He was and is and always will be. Today, He would open our eyes to see anew our identity in Him, the Rock who never changes.

Author JRR Tolkien spent three books, and over a thousand pages, creating a dense Middle Earth mythology. Now he brings that age of folklore to a thunderous close with Return of the King. Here all of the saga's major characters are granted an opportunity to fulfill their destiny. Among the questions answered: Can vagabond king Aragorn gather the army he needs to return to Gondor and reclaim his royal birthright from invading hordes? Will shieldmaiden Eowyn earn the respect of King Theoden and the other warriors by disguising herself as a man on the battlefield?And most centrally, will ringbearer Frodo have the inner strength to escape Orc captivity and finally reach Mount Doom? And will there be a Shire for the Hobbit to return to should he succeed in destroying the One Ring? Join Jakob (who grew up on Tolkien) and Stuart (who previously only knew the story from Peter Jackson's work) as they dig deep into the original text in preparation for the Now Playing Silver and Platinum donation reviews of all Hobbit and Lord of the Rings film adaptations.
