WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 2026
It has now come to this: We'd planned to speak today about the recent murder of Stephanie Minter, age 41, in Fairfax County, Virginia. Also, about the recent murder of Sheridan Gorman, age 18, on the Chicago lakefront.
Last night, on the Fox News Channel, Trace Gallagher alleged that CNN and MSNOW have refused to report or discuss these recent killings. We had planned to cite the tribal siftings—the tribal evasions—involved in this state of affairs.
We Blues! As the "democratization of media" has helped split this nation into warring tribes, we Blues have disappeared important news topics too! We had planned to go there today—but thanks to Michael Luciano's report at Mediaite, we can tell you instead that it has now come to this:
Hegseth’s Pastor Agrees With Interviewer Who Says ‘I Pray That God Kills’ Democratic Candidate
The pastor and spiritual adviser to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth agreed with a podcaster’s wish that God kill state Rep. James Talarico (D-TX).
Brooks Potteiger is a pastor at Pilgrim Hill Reformed Fellowship, a church in the Nashville area that Hegseth attends. In August, Hegseth held a Christian religious service at the Pentagon, where Potteiger was invited to say a prayer.
Last Tuesday, Potteiger appeared on the Reformation Red Pill podcast, where host Joshua Haymes, who is also a member of Pilgrim Hill, made some astonishing remarks about Talarico. This month, Talarico won the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate after having spoken openly about his Christian faith while also opposing Christian nationalism, to which Hegseth subscribes.
Just to be clear, we're speaking here about Secretary Hegseth's pastor, not about Secretary Hegseth himself. According to Luciano, that pastor agreed, on a recent podcast, with some "astonishing" remarks.
With respect to those remarks, How astonishing were they? We'll offer a fuller transcript below, but here's what Luciano reported next:
[continuing directly from above]
“I pray that God kills him,” Haymes said. “Ultimately, that means killing his heart and raising him up to new life in Christ.”
“Right,” Potteiger agreed. “We want him crucified with Christ.”
It gets worse, as you can see below. But that's what Luciano reported.
Luciano's report continues from there. We'll suggest that you read his report and look at the videotape it includes.
In our view, it's an important report—a report which helps capture what Plato once called "the [difficulty] of the time."
At this site, we've been puzzled by Hegseth's demeanor ever since 2023. During that year, we started watching him on Fox & Friends Weekend.
Again, it isn't Secretary Hegseth who made the remarks in question. But can a large, highly "diverse" modern nation expect to survive the "democratization" to which we've referred?
In our view, the answer isn't clear. That said, here's a fuller chunk of the conversation which now sits out there on the web for anyone to be influenced by.
The Christian pastors are talking about James Talarico, age 36, the Texas Senate nominee of whom they disapprove:
HAYMES (3/17/26): This is the kind of guy you pray imprecatory psalms against, and I mean that actually. First and foremost, we pray that a man like this will be cut to the heart. My wife and I were talking about this in the car the other day...
Public enemies—these are the orcs at the gate. You are not called to love the barbarian horde that is planning to break into your city and, you know, pillage, plunder, rape and mutilate you and your people. You don't love that horde. That is your enemy, and this is where you have imprecatory psalms. This is where you pray, strongly.
The Psalmist is not shy. "God, destroy them. Make them as dung on the ground," right? Madison and I were talking about that...
I pray that God kills him. Ultimately, that means killing his heart and raising him up to new life in Christ. That's the first thing.
POTTEIGER: Right. We want him crucified with Christ.
HAYMES: That's exactly right.
POTTEIGER: I want him to be—Saul of Tarsus? Talarico of Tarsus! That's what I want. Who would say, "I was holding the garments while they stoned Stephen and now I'm the —" Yeah! That's what we want.
HAYMES: Yes. We want death and new life, right? And if it would not be within God’s will to do so, stop him by any means necessary, O God! That’s why we pray imprecatory psalms, even in our Lord’s Day service. We're Whole Bible Christians, after all.
Haymes and his wife had been talking about making the others as dung! At any rate, what's a "Whole Bible Christian?"
With no disrespect intended, you'll have to Google that up.
What did those Whole Bible believers literally mean by the various things they said? Each person can puzzle that out. But whatever these two Christians actually meant, we regard what they said as dangerous.
At any rate, that's a slightly larger chunk of what the two Christians said. It's now floating around on the web for everyone in the country to hear.
Regarding what we've transcribed, we'll note that it's Haymes who does most of the talking. But it's Potteiger, the DefSec's pastor, who provides some of the more colorful talk.
Does Potteiger want the candidate killed, or does he want the candidate converted? We can't tell you how to read that. We can tell you this:
On that same day—on Tuesday, March 17—Greg Gutfeld and Emily Compagno engaged in dangerous secular talk concerning Talarico. They did so on our nation's most-watched "cable news" program, The Five.
When they emitted some truly remarkable statements, no major figure in Blue America deigned to say a word. Over here in Blue America, our major news orgs have decided that the Fox News Channel doesn't even exist.
Rather plainly, The Five is a "news show" in name only. In reality, it's a propaganda / entertainment entity—a dim-witted corporate messaging vehicle whose co-hosts may or may not be qualified to participate in an actual TV "news" program.
We Blues! The people we've been trained to trust won't report or discuss this ongoing situation. We'll guess that it's safer and easier to look away—to refuse to discuss the real world.
Tomorrow morning, bright and early, we'll show you what our cowardly kittens are choosing to enable. We'll transcribe the remarkable comments emitted by Gutfeld and Compagno.
We'll transcribe what the messengers said. All in all, the game works like this:
Silo Red cranks it out. Silo Blue runs off and hides!
Tomorrow: What the two messengers said
Iran thinks Trump & Hic'seth are idiots too:
ReplyDelete"Lt. Col. Ebrahim Zolfaghari, a spokesperson for the Iranian military’s Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, made the statement in a prerecorded video aired on state television.
“The strategic power you used to talk about has turned into a strategic failure,” he said. “The one claiming to be a global superpower would have already gotten out of this mess if it could. Don’t dress up your defeat as an agreement. Your era of empty promises has come to an end.”
He added: “Have your internal conflicts reached the point where you are negotiating with yourselves?”
We are ruled by idiots who have demonstrated how weak the world's greatest military really is. Sad.
Shame on you, @10:19. You know that statements made during a negotiation are intentionally slanted to achieve certain goals. Zolfaghari is trying to sound strong in order to gain a better negotiating position. By supporting his statement, you are taking the side a truly evil Administration -- a group that rules by murdering tens of thousands of its own people, not to mention all the other civilians they murder.
Deletei>The enemy of my enemy is my friend is aphorism that should not be followed when your enemy's enemy reaches too high a level of evilness.
BTW Zolfaghari's statement is ludicrous. It's comparable to the Black Knight.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmInkxbvlCs
On Sunday, the president posted, “Now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democrat Party!”
DeleteGo fuck yourself, dickhead in cal
Yes, it's horrifying that Paster Potteiger publicly says he wants the death of a public servant. It a million times more horrifying when a million Americans publicly say they want President Trump dead.
ReplyDeleteNegotiations Going Well?
ReplyDeleteIranian military spokesman: “The strategic power you used to talk about has turned into strategic failure. Anyone claiming to be a global superpower would have already gotten out of this mess if it could. Don’t dress up your defeat as an agreement. Your era of empty promises has come to an end.
Have your internal conflicts reached the point where you’re negotiating with yourselves? We state this clearly: until it is our will, nothing will go back to the way it was.
That will only come about when the very thought of acting against the Iranian nation is completely wiped from your corrupt minds."
Hector - It's noteworthy that our Iranian enemies are essentially quoting American anti-Trumpers. The anti-Trumpers are trying to make Trump look bad for political reasons. But, their misrepresentation of the Iranian defeat also encourages the Iranian regime to keep fighting, to keep hanging and shooting their own people and to keep killing civilians throughout the middle east. Also, these words help to put the Iranian régime in a stronger negotiating position, to help them develop nuclear weapons that might be used to blow up an American city.
DeleteWell, Trump started the war without getting the backing of the country, so it’s hardly surprising that some citizens disagree with his decision. You think they should not speak up about matters of war and peace?
DeleteDickhead in Cal is the free speech monitor for the current fascist regime. He is just making sure everyone is properly wearing their Nazi armbands.
Delete"to help them develop nuclear weapons that might be used to blow up an American city."
DeleteDo you really think our foreign policy should be built on paranoid deulsions?
DG - should people who disagreed with the Iran war stop speaking out in opposition to the war? The traditional answer is "Yes." Traditionally, once the nation is at war, citizens were expected not to publicly oppose that war.
DeleteI think that principle make sense in today's situation. Now that the war has started, would you not agree that Americans will be better off if the US wins than if Iran wins?
Traditionally we debate in democracy before we sneak attack a country during negotiations, you fucking fascist freak
DeleteHector - please explain why it's entirely inconceivably under any circumstances that an Iran with nuclear weapons would use them against the US. I can imagine circumstances whereby any country's nuclear weapons might be used. Here are three
Delete-- A government breaks down and terrorist acquire nuclear weapons
-- Nuclear weapons are stolen by terrorists
-- An insane leader facing death and defeat decides to take an American city of the world with him.
Of course, these risks apply to any country that has nuclear weapons. But, we can't stop NK from being a nuclear power. We can stop Iran.
