Podcasts about ridicule

Today, we tear the mask off compromise and ask the question everyone's whispering but nobody's answering: Can a Democrat be a Christian? Paul M. Neuberger doesn't flinch. He digs in deep, wielding Scripture like a sword and challenging every sacred cow in the boardroom. Red or blue-when either meets the cross, one must bow. This episode isn't about party politics. It's about Kingdom allegiance. Paul M. Neuberger calls out the idols-comfort, culture, party-and reminds us: Jesus is not a mascot for the elephant or the donkey. He is the Lamb who reigns. The cost? Division. Ridicule. The sting of being “out of step” in a world that demands you compromise. But the truth stands: Jesus is still Lord-wherever you stand, however you vote. So what will you do when your faith collides with the world's agenda? Will you stand, or will you bow? “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." - Matthew 6:24 Episode Highlights​02:00 - Because when the red and blue meet the cross, one of them has to bow. And it's not the cross. 16:25 - You can't claim to follow Jesus while supporting policies that violate his commands. The same goes for Republicans, by the way, hypocrisy is bipartisan. But when a political platform openly celebrates sin and silence truth, we gotta draw a line. So can a Democrat be a Christian? The honest answer? Yes, but not comfortably. A Christian Democrat must live in constant tension and between faith and party. They must be willing to challenge their own platform, to vote their conscience over their party line, and to say no when policies conflict with Scripture. That's not easy, but that's what true discipleship looks like. 47:58 - We're not Democrats who happen to love Jesus. We're not Republicans who happen to believe in God. We are blood bought citizens of heaven who happen to live in America. For such a time as this, our calling isn't to take sides. It's to take ground for the kingdom. 48:17 - Because when the red and blue meet the cross, every knee bows, every flag falls, and every heart is judged by one question alone. What did you do with Jesus? Connect with Paul M. Neuberger Website

Le président congolais Félix Tshisekedi a appelé jeudi son homologue rwandais Paul Kagame à avoir "le courage" de travailler avec lui pour faire "la paix des braves" dans l'est de la République démocratique du Congo, une invitation rejetée comme une "comédie politique ridicule" par Kigali.

Rien ne se passe normalement à l'Olympique de Marseille. Malgré la victoire 5-2 face au Paris FC, le club phocéen est encore au coeur de la polémique après la déclaration de son coach Roberto de Zerbi. L'italien s'est dit prêt à réintégrer Adrien Rabiot, malgré la semaine mouvementée entre l'international français et le club. Est-ce ridicule ? De Zerbi bafoue-t-il l'institution OM ? Cette prise de parole est-elle individuelle ? Que va-t-il se passer ? Arsenal s'est imposé 5-0 face à Leeds en Premier League, la première démonstration des Gunners avec les deux premiers buts de Viktor Gyökeres. La machine Gunners est-elle lancée ?

Rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem wasn't easy, and Nehemiah knew it would require determination. Faced with insults and opposition, the people of God pressed on—not with retaliation, but with prayer and faithful work. When we persevere through criticism by relying on God, we become part of something far greater than ourselves.

Richard A. MansfieldRestart Series, Part 7

Satire is a funny, aggressive, and largely oppositional literature which is typically created by people who refuse to participate in a given regime's perception of itself. Although satire has always been a primary literature of state affairs, and although it has always been used to intervene in ongoing discussions about political theory and practice, there has been no attempt to examine this fascinating and unusual literature across the full chronological horizon. In State of Ridicule: A History of Satire in English Literature (Princeton University Press, 2025), Dr. Dan Sperrin provides the first ever longue durée history of political satire in British literature. He traces satire's many extended and discontinuous trajectories through time while also chronicling some of the most inflamed and challenging political contexts within which it has been written.Dr. Sperrin begins by describing the Roman foundations and substructures of British satire, paying particularly close attention to the core Roman canon: Horace, Persius, and Juvenal. He then proceeds chronologically, populating the branches of satire's family tree with such figures as Chaucer, Jonson, Dryden, Swift, Pope, and Dickens, as well as a whole series of writers who are now largely forgotten. Satire, Dr. Sperrin shows, can be a literature of explicit statements and overt provocation—but it can also be notoriously indirect, oblique, suggestive, and covert, complicated by an author's anonymity or pseudonymity. Dr. Sperrin meticulously analyses the references to transient political events that may mystify the contemporary reader. He also presents vivid and intriguing pen portraits of the satirists themselves along the way. Dr. Sperrin argues that if satire is to be contended with and reflected upon in all its provocative complexity—and if it is to be seen as anything more than a literature of political vandalism—then we must explore the full depth and intrigue of its past. This book offers a new starting point for our intellectual and imaginative contact with an important and fascinating kind of literature. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

We have spent nearly a century trying to make another gangster movie this good and some could argue we haven't done it yet. Being released before the Hay's code allows this movie to really speak it's mind and it does. With its loud commentary about the state of the US, strong female characters, sex, openly gay characters and nuance this movie is the perfect reminder of what the code took from us. It's a cliche for a reason, they don't make them like they used to. THE HAYS CODE:  The "Don'ts" (Absolutely Forbidden) Profanity, including "God," "Jesus," or "hell" used irreverently. Nudity, in any form (including silhouettes). Illegal drug use. Sexual perversion (code word for homosexuality, fetishism, etc.). White slavery (human trafficking, especially of white women). Miscegenation (interracial romantic or sexual relationships). Scenes of childbirth, in fact or in silhouette Ridicule of clergy. Willful offense to any nation, race, or creed. The "Be Carefuls" (Sensitive Topics Requiring Caution) Use of firearms. Theft, robbery, and safe-cracking. Brutality and gruesomeness. Techniques of murder. Sympathy for criminals or crime success Adultery, if presented sympathetically or explicitly. Seduction. Sexual relationships outside of marriage. Excessive kissing or lustful embraces. Drunkenness, especially if humorous or sympathetic. Use of liquor in the presence of children. Mocking the law or law enforcement. Revenge in modern times as a moral justification. Surgical operations, unless essential to the plot. Cruelty to animals. Apparent cruelty to children.

Rachel Maddow looks at a string of bizarre headlines about Donald Trump's secretary of defense, Fox News personality Pete Hegseth, whose insistence on surrounding himself with close family while acting in his official capacity speaks poorly of his professionalism.

[EP 25-102] When all is said and done, DOGE will prove what many Americans have long suspected: a majority of Congress, both House and Senate, are on the take and have been for decades. They've enriched themselves off taxpayers through kickbacks, pay-for-play schemes, and outright theft funneled through federal agencies. So, the Left's full-court press against DOGE continues. Now, they're targeting Tesla dealerships in a coordinated effort to demonize Elon Musk. Clearly, this is an organized political attack, and the latest in their playbook to destroy anyone who dares challenge the regime.Just recently, MSNBC hosts laughed when a SpaceX rocket exploded ([reference needed]). What's so funny about that? Think about it. This wasn't some North Korean missile test failure. It was a historic attempt by one of the greatest minds of our time, a man who might be the Da Vinci of our era. Laughing at his setbacks is like mocking a scientist searching for a cure for cancer. The Left ridicules Musk because they can't control him. Ridicule is their last resort when all else fails. But how do you ridicule success?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.
