Flipping the Tables? What?

I just read the responses on Facebook to a Christianity Today article on the protesters against ICE who invaded a church in Minneapolis. The article in CT is balanced. One of the elders of the church is an ICE director, so the church was targeted for that reason. Don Lemon, who seems like a clown to me, showed up conveniently and filmed interviews with the pastor, acting very self-righteous. 

In the comments on the story, which I figure are more from people trolling the sight than anything, they keep saying "Jesus flipped tables."

This comment is from ignorant people who don't know Jesus. Disturbing a Sunday morning service has nothing to do with the cleansing of the temple. The moneychangers were directly exploiting the poor. The church members were not doing that. People who write that have no concept about the New Testament. 

Added 1/21: They are using this as a talking point someone made up. Note how often it appears in these comments. 

All that said, two things can be true. The invasion of a church service did nothing to make the leftists look good except to their own tribe. It was pure intimidation. 

But, ICE has not crowned themselves with glory and honor. I expect their leaders are expecting and allowing excessive behavior and shows of force, and yes, people have been pulled out of church services themselves for being either undocumented or "looking undocumented." 

But again, two things can be true at once. Or three or four or ten.  

A lot of criminals came into the country during the Biden immigration free-for-all and need to be deported. 

Being here illegally is a crime. I can't go live in the Netherlands or England without the permission of those governments. Why should it be allowed here? I'm sorry, but deportations are needed. Cruelty is not.

We need immigrants, although we as a nation tend to think of them as members of the lower class who will do the dirty jobs: agriculture, janitorial, building, landscaping, domestic work. God forbid an American do those. 

Illegal aliens do have some civil rights and some of them are being violated. 

Renee Goode was in the wrong place at the wrong time and made a series of bad choices. The man who killed her, which he did, should not have been on duty after his own trauma and clearly was ill-trained. That does not make it murder. He should be punished, though, at some level because he is a public threat. 

The left is well-organized and has a lot of money to train people to protest and make it look like crowds are anti-ICE when there are paid activists. 

This all goes back to Congress never creating the kind of legislation that was needed--and we're talking about a 40-year period since Reagan's amnesty, and the election of a man who clearly is losing his mind. 

But Don Lemon and those protesters were not on par with Jesus "flipping" tables.

Why to Read Fiction, Idea #27: Empathy, anyone?

The Idea #27 is tongue in cheek.  But these are some ideas about writing fiction, which I have done in ten novels (and counting), a dozen short stories, and two produced plays (I know, not exactly the same).  Background: In 2015 a colleague and I wrote an open educational resource public speaking textbook for a grant provided by our University System. We didn't realize at the time that it would go viral and be used all over the world within a few years. There are two reasons for that: it is good (as good as anything on the market) and it is free, although only in digital form. Check out www.exploringpublicspeaking.com for it. We also didn't know at the time that my co-author would die at 39 in 2016. I still miss him. Back to the point, I receive requests for the test banks every other day, and this morning I received one from Pennsylvania. The writer had a signature line: "Reading fiction is important. It is a vital means of imagining a life other than our own, which in t...

Books I Have Read Lately

 Retirement means more time to read.  One Blood , by Denene Millner. This book and author won the Townsend Prize for Fiction 2025 and therefore beat me as one of the other nine finalists. She deserved it for her dramatic and exotic style; mine feels pale in comparison. I have to admit, I have timed out on it when I got to the third main character's story. It starts with a Black midwife in 1950s/1960s Virginia, who is imprisoned for not lying on a birth certificate about a "white" baby's racial identity. The baby is clearly part Black, meaning either the family had Black ancestors or the mother had a lover (I'm not entirely sure about that). The midwife's daughter is brutally murdered by her lover and in this chaos, the granddaughter is spirited away to New York in a wooden box. (Why I am not sure--New York makes sense, because a relation lives there, but why she couldn't just be put on a train, I'm not sure. I imagine Black people could ride trains in ...

Keeping Up Appearances? David's Surprise Anointing to Be King

  Have you ever watched the show, Keeping Up Appearances? What it is. A comedy about a British woman who wants to be thought of as very high class even though her family is low class. Her name is Hyacinth Bucket but she pronounces it Bouquet. She wants everything perfect but her family works against her, and her neighbors run from her. We all know someone who wants to keep up appearances, and sometimes we do. In our everyday life, we depend on our eyes and we automatically trust them, at least at first, and we often don’t look closely or below the surface. Like puzzles. But we know that appearances can be deceiving, even though they catch us. So I wanted to show this video I saw recently because it’s disturbing but informative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FERa1AI2EK8 AI has gotten far better on making these deep fakes—videos that are not of anyone but totally generated by the software. Even though they look like someone, they are not. Of course, it is stealing fro...
