Michael Rapaport Says Media Lied About Trump’s Charlottesville Statement
Actor Michael Rapaport has admitted that he helped spread the left’s Trump Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax, saying he was “wrong” to have promoted the lie.
- “One thing about the Charlottesville — that I ranted about, and I was wrong. When you see the full quote, that wasn’t what he said.” (BREITBART | RIGHT SCOOP | DAILY CALLER)
And so I combine that with more — below, this should be married to my larger post:
LANGUAGE WARNING!
CNN is fact checking Biden? Woah
TWITCHY has more on this:
DOJ Says Biden Too Senile To Stand Trial, WH Objects
AN UPDATED EXAMPLE:
- Biden denied mental incompetence. “I know what the hell I’m doing,” he proclaimed at the event. His memory is fine. The windmills of his mind are spinning in good order. His confusion of the president of Egypt with the president of Mexico tended to belie his assertion. (POWERLINE | RED STATE | TWITCHY [Techno-Fog])
It’s not conspiracy to ask questions about Biden’s “mistakes” (more at RIGHT SCOOP):
Here is a challenge regarding this video from a comment on my site’s Facebook Page:
SUE F. SAID
- Like Trump is any better, Trump has days where he believes that he beat Obama in 2016. They’re both old & mentally declining…check yourself!
I respond (with an EXTRA addition here, at the end). For those unaware, POST MILLENNIAL’s headline and sub-title explain:
BREAKING: Biden’s DOJ says evidence shows President ‘willfully’ withheld classified docs—but he will not be prosecuted: The special counsel’s report said Biden’s memory “was significantly limited” during the 2023 interviews with Hur
SUE F. COUNTERS:
- I’m not part of your brainwashed propaganda group here, the weak minded grasp on to leaders like you & Trump. Trumps mind has been mentally declining due to the stress of losing his trials & millions, but he thanks people like you for paying his legal fees. A billionaire panhandling the weak for jingle… you just gotta love it! Be sure to donate to him…
I RESPOND:
- Perfect ad hominem attack. I would expect no different from either an atheist activist or a progressive one.
EXTRA!
Just a little leaven to deflate SUE F.’S argument:
Well, at least President Biden is “a president for everybody, whether you live in a red state or a green state.” (POST MILL X)

Here is a quick 101 on the history of the Word Faith via GOT QUESTIONS:
Here is an example of one verse striped of context via the Word Faith movement:
What a healthy view of this Joshua verse is this:
Or s the NET BIBLE rewords a bit:
A decent extended commentary can be found here to help separate the wheat from the Chaff, as competing theologies fight over interpreting verses:
This from CROSS WISE (2011) explaining a bit about the above:
Of Thermostats and Salt n Light | RPT’s Musings
An early morning Bible study and a question from the presenter got me thinking though the idea presented. The question was this:
- if someone had never heard of a thermometer and a thermostat, how would you explain each and differentiate between them? When it comes to us living out our faith, do you think we’re called to be a thermometer or a thermostat?
So I gave my thinking on this question and expand a bit in the video. Enjoy… it is for the strengthening of my fellow believers. Or as Steven Lawson says, it is to get you into an offense mode.

What Is Fascism? Biden Admin and Amazon Explain
The NATIONAL REVIEW article Dennis Prager is reading from can be found here: “Biden White House Pressured Amazon to Censor Vaccine-Skeptical Books, Internal Emails Reveal” The PRAGER U video mentioned (and the excerpt I included) can be found here: “Big Business & Big Brother”. And the other THOMAS SOWELL video is via this YouTube Channel. Must read JIM JORDAN’S Twitter thread as well.
How biased are these pushes? Mollie Hemingway and Laura Ingraham explain:
‘The Federalist’ editor-in-chief Mollie Hemingway discusses NewsGuard’s global disinformation index categorizing right-leading media outlets as ‘risky’ and left-leaning outlets as ‘least risky’ for disinformation on ‘The Ingraham Angle.’
Teaching Kids How To Think Through The Headlines (Transphobic?)
TWITCHY is all in:
Twitter media account Discussing Film called Harry Potter author a ‘known transphobe’ when reporting on her being made an executive producer on the Harry Potter reboot series. Some people will NEVER stop hating this woman… unless they get sued for defamation, probably.

Archaeological Evidences for the Bible

CRI’s EQUIP post has a short list to make the point:
Bible Reliability 3: Archeological Discoveries
Here are some older posts/conversations:
This story has an important facet for us apologists, but first, let us enjoy this finds belated attribution:
This last part is key, let me explain. Archaeology has served as one of the great evidences for the skeptical person to have many of their doubts answered. I wish to display the above in some past debates I have had. Since many of these past debates are about a decade old or older, referencing isn’t up to my current par… but you will get the main point of the discussions at hand. Also keep in mind these are portions of larger responses… so you may feel like you just stepped into the middle of a conversation – you would be right.
The first presentation is a discussion between myself and Rocket Girl, the second between myself a Nightmyre.
Discussion with Rocket Girl
Rocket Girl made reference to where the evidence for Noah’s Flood is, Sodom and Gomorrah (here is an article, see video as well), and the like. I respond:

Millian vs Marxian Educational Goals | Jon Haidt
Rapid change… is the goal:
“Two incompatible sacred values in American universities” Jon Haidt, Hayek Lecture Series
On October 6, 2016, Professor Jonathan Haidt gave a Hayek Lecture at Duke. The event was co-sponsored by the programs in the History of Political Economy (HOPE), Philosophy, Politics, & Economics (PPE), and American Values and Institutions (AVI). The event was open to the public, but also served as a guest lecture in Professor Jonathan Anomaly’s PPE course.
Professor Haidt argues that conflicts arise at many American universities today because they are pursuing two potentially incompatible goals: truth and social justice. While Haidt thinks both goals are important, he maintains that they can come into conflict.
According to some versions of social justice, whenever we observe a disparity of outcomes between races, genders, or other groups, we should infer that injustice has been done. Haidt challenges this view of social justice and shows how it sometimes leads to violations of truth, and even justice.
Haidt concludes that universities should be free to pursue whatever goals – truth or social justice – they want, but that they should make it clear which of these two goals is their “telos” – their highest purpose. He ends with a discussion of his initiative, HeterodoxAcademy.org, to bring more viewpoint diversity to universities in order to improve research and learning.
