“We are Republicans, and don’t propose to leave our party and identify ourselves with the party whose antecedents have been rum, Romanism, and rebellion. We are loyal to our flag.”
It would be hard to find a single statement from this evil man that would better summarize his entire administration than this. You may even say it’s his Marie Antoinette moment, the queen of France who is said to have responded “let them eat cake” when told the peasants had no bread.
As her statement was a callous dismissal of the suffering of the poor people of France, the very people for whom she had a responsibility as a member of France’s royal family, so too does Biden’s brusque comment to the reporter show his callous disregard for the suffering his irresponsible immigration policies have caused the American people and will cause them in the future.
But what if Biden’s border disaster is not a failure at all, but rather a roaring success? Even before he took office, Biden and the Democrats generally signaled their intention to reverse the Trump administration’s border enforcement policies that had done a great deal to cut down on illegal immigration. According to this article, on day one of his administration Biden signed seven, seven!, executive orders essentially gutting all the progress Trump had made on immigration during his four years in office. Did Biden not know what he was doing? Some people think he’s so senile that he was clueless. I’m not so sure. But whether it was Biden himself doing this or whether he was just carrying out the order of his handlers, whoever was responsible for these executive orders had to know full well that they would create chaos at our southern border and were willing to accept that chaos as the price of doing business. Put differently, these policy changes, and the resulting massive influx of illegal aliens, were not bumbling mistakes on the part of the Biden regime, but the clear intention of the policymakers who drafted these executive orders and, in my opinion, of the president himself.

Matthew 20:15
A few weeks back, I received a text message from Tim Shaughnessy, a friend and Reformed brother who lives in El Paso Texas, about an emergency with a church he pastors. El Paso sits in the far west of Texas, right across the US-Mexico border from the large Mexican city of Juarez. The Rio Grande forms the border between both cities and both countries. Knowing El Paso’s location, and if you follow the news at all, you won’t be surprised when you hear what the emergency was.
Tim’s church had been meeting at the Rescue Mission of El Paso, and the chaplain of the mission called up Tim on a Saturday and told him that his church would not be able to use the mission’s building for services on Sunday. The city had been dropping off migrants at the mission and the entire facility was packed with people and full of cots. Given the vast scale of the current flood of illegal aliens pouring across America’s southern border, doubtless the loss suffered by Tim’s church could be multiplied many times over.
The current immigration disaster started with the inauguration of America’s second Roman Catholic president, Joe Biden, in January 2021 and shows no signs of letting up. Indeed, by some reports, the flood of illegal aliens, far from subsiding, is getting worse.
Since I mentioned El Paso earlier, let’s look at a few immigration-related headlines from just this one Texas city.
These stories all paint a picture of one American city being overwhelmed by illegal aliens with little hope of relief. Indeed, migrant numbers historically are higher as we move into fall and cooler weather comes to the region making passage safer for those seeking to enter the United States illegally. As Tim said in his message to me, “Our city is overwhelmed right now.”
That, one could say, is an understatement.
But while America is being overwhelmed with a flood of illegal aliens, it’s important to keep in mind that this flood is not some force of nature, but the result of deliberate policies put in place by the current president and his government. On his first day in office, Joe Biden signed an executive order pausing the construction of the border wall. And this was not the only action taken by the president and by other Democratic government officials across the nation to make it easier for migrants illegally to cross America’s southern border, to make it harder to deport them, and indeed, even to reward them once in the United States.
To give you some idea of how Biden has encouraged illegal immigration to America, a quote from the article “The Border Crisis Comes to a Once-Quite part of West Texas” will suffice. In this piece, journalist Todd Bensman interviewed a “human smuggling guide” whose name was given as Jose Antonio. Antonio referred to Biden’s immigration policies as la invitación, the invitation.
Indeed, one would have a hard time coming up with a better name than la invitación to describe the immigration policies of Joe Biden in particular and the Democrats in general. To show just how committed the Democrats are as a party to forcing American taxpayers to support illegal aliens, consider the response of the field of democratic presidential candidates in 2019 to a show of hands question about whether their health plan would cover “undocumented immigrants” – the proper term for “undocumented immigrants” is “illegal aliens.” The response of all ten of the Democrats present was to raise their hands “yes.” You can see the video here.
There is no provision in the Constitution, the Supreme Court’s ruling notwithstanding, for the federal government to fund anyone’s “health plan,” not even health plans for the American people. And if it is unconstitutional, and more to the point, immoral for the federal government to use tax dollars to pay Americans’ doctor bills, how much more is it unconstitutional and immoral for the federal government to use tax dollars taken from the American people to pay medical bills for foreigners who have violated America’s immigration laws?
So, ask yourself this question: If you tell people to go ahead and break America’s immigration laws and we’ll reward you with fabulous cash and prizes, do you think you will get more immigration law-breaking or less immigration law-breaking? If you said, “more immigration law-breaking,” go to the head of the class.
The creepy optics of Joe Biden’s “Soul of America” speech at Independence Hall, Philadelphia, PA, September 1, 2022.
“We are Republicans, and don’t propose to leave our party and identify ourselves with the party whose antecedents have been rum, Romanism, and rebellion. We are loyal to our flag.”

This week, I was going to continue with my series on likening living under the Biden Regime to living under Queen Athaliah of Judah, another example of a usurper of power, and the lessons Christians can take from that Biblical account.
I say, I was going to continue with it this week, until Joe Biden came along and gave what is, in my opinion, probably the most disturbing and tyrannical speech ever given by an American President. Certainly, it’s the most disturbing and tyrannical speech I personally have ever heard from a man in that office.
In some ways, this piece really is a part of the series on Athaliah. But in my mind, the content of Biden’s speech is that I think it falls more naturally under the heading of another, recurring series of posts I’ve been writing called Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion (RR&R). The RR&R series attempts to link the socialist, authoritarian, anti-Constitutional, globalist ideas and corruption found so prevalently in the Democratic party with the fact that this same party is, and has been since well back into the 19th century, the political home of the papal Antichrist in the United States of America.
The fact that the Democrats were the party of Antichrist was recognized by writers in the 19th century, and most famously expressed by Presbyterian minister and Union Civil War veteran Dr. Samuel D. Burchard, who in 1884 uttered the line at the top of this post, calling the Democrats, “the party whose antecedents have been rum, Romanism, and rebellion.”

II Kings 11:1
Last week I wrote about America and how our nation, conceived in liberty with a government of, by, and for the people, has devolved to the point where we now live under an occupation government with a son of Antichrist seated in the Oval Office.
Of course, the Regime press will never tell you this. Their job is to curry favor with the powers that shouldn’t be. In fact, about the only good reason I can think of for reading the legacy media is the same one I’m told the people of the Soviet Union followed Pravda: to know what official lies the government expected them to believe. If you know a narrative is a lie, it’s easier to dismiss it as the propaganda it is.
On Friday, The New York Times ran an absurd hit piece of an editorial titled “Donald Trump Is Not Above the Law.” Of course, we would agree with that statement. But the Times isn’t interested in impartial justice. You see, the writers at the Times and other outlets that worship and serve the Beast, while Donald Trump is not above the law, Barak Obama (spied on the Trump campaign), Hillary Clinton (server gate and other crimes too numerous to mention), Hunter Biden (laptop from hell), Joe Biden (grand theft election) are above the law. So too are the alphabet agencies such as the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and the DOJ. The Times is asking you to forget about the massive, treasonous activities of these individuals and organizations while focusing on a supposed “crime” of Donald Trump which appears not to be a crime at all. Indeed, given the consistent, outrageous lying on the part of the Democrats and the Deep State about Trump since at least 2015, Americans have every right to dismiss this latest dust-up over Trump’s stealing of classified documents as the latest and most desperate hate hoax against the former President, who is hated and feared by the party of rum, Romanism, and rebellion to a degree that I have not personally witnessed before in the world of politics.
So, what does the Bible say about living under an occupation government, a usurping, corrupt, and illegitimate government? As was mentioned last week, there is a surprising and little discussed example of that very thing in Scripture, the reign of Queen Athaliah of Judah.
One supposes that there are many who attend nominally Protestant churches these days who would be surprised to hear that Judah had a queen for six years. But such was the case. And her reign can be instructive to us as to how to live as God’s people under an occupation government and not give up hope.

II Kings 11:1
The United States of America is under an occupation government.
At the present, we have a government that is not of, by, or for the people. Rather, we have one that is of, by, and for the Deep Staters, the bansksters, the crony capitalists, the globalists, and the Vaticanites.
That Joe Biden is an illegitimate president ought to be clear to all. There are any number of ways to know that Biden was not legitimately elected by the American people and the Electoral College. Perhaps the easiest way to know the fix was in is to look at what happened when the Hunter Biden laptop story broke shortly before the 2020 vote.
The New York Post broke the story in October 2020, and immediately the Democratic/Deep State machine went to work to discredit it. The Deep State intelligence agencies went to work with a letter signed by 51 intelligence professionals saying that the story smacked of Russian disinformation. The New York Post had its Twitter account suspended and no reference to the “laptop from hell” was permitted on Facebook and probably any other major social media platform.
A year and a half later, whaddya know, all the major propaganda outlets – by this I mean the New York Times, The Washington Post, and others of their ilk – came out and finally acknowledged that the laptop is real.
Of course, it was real. That was obvious at the time. And we don’t need the lying mainstream news outlets to confirm this for us. But the fact that the Times and others lied to the public about the laptop until well after the election shows that the fix was in.

Last week brought with it a couple of major events, neither one of them good for America. In the first place, there was the passage of the comically, propagandistically names Inflation Reduction Act, an Act guaranteed to increase, not decrease inflation. Not to mention an Act that sics 87,000 new IRS agents on the American people – more specifically, it sics them on the middle class and small businesses that don’t have the legions of tax lawyers and accountants to fight back against the IRS – an Act that implements parts of the liberty destroying, World Economic Forum, Vatican approved Green New Deal, and an Act that manages to extend Obamacare subsidies passed as part of Covid relief.
In short, it’s another unconstitutional boondoggle that will do exactly the opposite of what it claims it will do.
Then there’s the FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Florida home, Mar-a-Lago. Many writers have rightly compared this raid to the sort of thing one would expect in a banana republic. Given the disturbing trend of both the Democrats generally, and the Biden Regime in particular, to politicize justice, this raid must be seen as a continuation of their attempts to outlaw their political opponents.
One can find many articles in the mainstream and even alternate conservative and libertarian press denouncing both the Inflation Reduction Act and the raid on Mar-a-Lago. But none of them, in this writer’s opinion, get to the heart of the matter.
“We are Republicans, and don’t propose to leave our party and identify ourselves with the party whose antecedents have been rum, Romanism, and rebellion. We are loyal to our flag.”
It’s very late on a Friday night, or more accurately, very early on a Saturday morning, and I seriously should be in bed right now. But for all that, I just can’t sleep after something I just read on Twitter. It’s this article here, “Border bishops honor dead migrants at Mass Juarez.”
It’s funny how the bishops can go out of their way to honor those who willfully, knowingly break American immigration law but have nothing to say when Americans are harmed or killed by these same people. Take for example the case in Florida where Yery Noel Medina Ulloa stands accused of murdering Francisco Javier Cuellar. As it turns out, Ulloa lied to get into the US earlier this year, claiming to be a teenager named Reynel Alexander Hernandez. And since the Biden regime is not deporting unaccompanied minors, but instead is releasing them into the nation, uniting them with sponsors, Ulloa was given the opportunity to murder a man. Apparently, the man he murdered was his sponsor.
Or how about this case. Do you think the cardinals, bishops, priests, and nuns of the Roman Catholic Church-State are concerned about the man Jose Omar Bello Reyes murdered? Reyes, twice detained by ICE and bailed out by two NFL players is facing other felony charges as well.

“We are Republicans, and don’t propose to leave our party and identify ourselves with the party whose antecedents have been rum, Romanism, and rebellion. We are loyal to our flag.”
– Dr. Samuel D. Burchard, Presbyterian Minister and Union Civil War Veteran
The account of David’s fight with Goliath is, doubtless, the most famous case of singly combat ever. Many people, even if they have never so much as opened a Bible have heard of their duel.
But while the history of what took place is justifiably famous, there is at least one important detail that is often overlooked. We read how Goliath was wont to come out and taunt Israel and how he, in so many words, double dog dared anyone from Israel’s army to come out and have a go at him one on one.
Now among those present in Israel’s army was King Saul. But even he would not dare to challenge Goliath.
If you stop and think about it, that must have been very demoralizing to the Israelites. After all, a few years prior the Israelites had demanded a king to fight their battles for them like all the other nations. Well, Israel had its king, but the king wasn’t doing his job. He wasn’t leading Israel to victory in battle. Quite the opposite. He was cowering behind the lines at Goliath’s words just like everyone else.
And it got worse.
It wasn’t as if Goliath came out once or twice, got bored with disrespecting Israel, and gave up. No, not at all. If you’ve ever been picked on by a playground bully as a kid, you probably received advice such as, “Just ignore him and he’ll go away.” Sometimes maybe that’s true. But what if the bully doesn’t go away? What if the bully comes back day after day to torment you?
The Apostle Paul in writing to the Romans notes, “If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.” By saying “as much as it depends on you,” Paul acknowledges that living peaceably with others does not depend solely on you. Sometimes there are men who want to have a go at you for one reason or another, those who like to pick fights.
Goliath was one such man. And he wasn’t the sort of fellow to just go away.
No. The Scriptures tell us that Goliath would come out and say, “I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.” And this, Scripture tells us, he did for forty days both in the morning and in the evening.
So twice a day for forty days, Goliath “defied” the armies of Israel. And no one did anything. Not Saul. Not David’s elder brothers. No one.
Rather, we read, “When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.”
Not very inspiring, that.
Into this courage, leadership, and ultimately faith gap strode David, who famously, by God’s grace, won the day.
Today’s American Protestants More Like Saul than Like David
Now you may wonder why I started a column on the Babylonian Harlot’s – the Babylonian Harlot or Mystery, Babylon the Great as the Apostle John called the Roman Catholic Church-State (RCCS) in Revelation 17 – attack on the United States of America by talking about David and Goliath.
My point is this, that when I look at the reaction of today’s American Protestant church to the obvious, in-your-face predations of the RCCS, I am reminded more of Saul’s reaction to the giant than David’s.
It seems that the more Antichrist – the office of the papacy is the Antichrist and Son of Perdition we read about in the new testament – and his Harlot Church attack America, the more God’s people cower in fear.
Goliath loved getting in Israel’s face. He loved playing the bully. And it all was going great for him until one day it suddenly didn’t. But it took a man of faith and courage to put an end to Goliath’s proud defiance of God’s people.
In like fashion, the RCCS and its Antichrist pope love getting in the face of American Protestants. Since it’s football season, I’ll use a football metaphor. It’s as if Rome is spiking the football in our face and doing a touchdown dance, and no one does anything to put a stop to it.
The pope and his bishops, cardinals, priests, and nuns lecture American Christians constantly about their (supposed) moral duty to destroy their own nation through mass welfare migration, immigration, and refugee resettlement of people, many of whom are difficult if not impossible to assimilate. And not only is there a moral duty, these liars tell us, for Americans to take in the people, but we have an obligation to pay for our own dispossession as well.
And what do we hear from Protestant pulpits about this shameful, daily dissing of our faith of the nation our forefathers built?
Crickets for the most part.
But it gets even worse.
In some cases, putatively Protestant teachers actually internalize Rome’s immigration lies and begin spouting the same socialist, nation-destroying immigration nonsense as do the popes, cardinals, bishops, priests, and nuns of Rome.
Now it may well be, and I’m of a mind to believe that it is the case this day in America, that there are 7,000 in Israel who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
But I think we need to look in the mirror and ask ourselves, what are we going to do now that the Harlot Church and her pope are in our face? Are we going to be as Saul and his men and be dismayed and greatly afraid?
Now there are reasons, ultimately not good ones, but reasons nonetheless, to be afraid.
First, there is a lack of knowledge. God said, “My people perish for lack of knowledge.” And we see this every day here in America. If not literally perishing, many Christians, perhaps even people who sense that there’s something seriously wrong with an immigration system that threatens to replace the historic majority population of this county, lack the ideas to adequately express their concerns.
Even in Bible-believing churches, it’s a rare day that you will ever hear any overt criticism of the RCCS or its false gospel. It’s a rare day indeed that you’ll hear the pope identified as the Antichrist of the New Testament in plain language of the sort used in the original Westminster Confession of Faith.
At a Bible study, I once brought up that Rome teaches the real presence of Christ in the mass. Now this being one of the most important doctrines of Rome, I would have thought that this would be a non-controversial statement. But it wasn’t. There were some people in my Bible study who actually defended Rome, denying that Rome teaches this doctrine that it very clearly does teach. I got the distinct sense that some were embarrassed that I had even brought up the point. And it wasn’t even as if I’d called the pope Antichrist! He is. But I simply brought up what Rome herself teaches in her own words and found myself met with resistance in a Protestant Bible study.
If Protestants won’t teach and believe the Reformation doctrine of Antichrist and refuse to criticize Rome for its many soul-destroying and blasphemous teachings, how can we possibly expect anyone else to do so? This is our fight. We’re it. If we don’t get the job done, who will?
Second, speaking out against Rome feels strange. We don’t see others doing it, so maybe we start to think calling out Antichrist and his Harlot Church is a sort of social “no go” zone. We’re told as children that you don’t talk about religion and politics. And talking about the evil of political Romanism is both of those things at once. It’s easier to pretend not to notice what’s going on and talk instead about the weather or sports or something like that.
Third, we can’t handle the truth. One suspects that there are Protestants who have a sense that there is something extraordinarily, preternaturally evil about Rome, but they don’t want to go there. They prefer willful blindness to the evil of the RCCS rather than doing a little research and reading on their own. It’s easier for us to play hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil rather than look at the situation as it is. Because if we know what Rome in truth is, how can we not speak out against it? And that’s dangerous. And we don’t want to go there.
I once had a Protestant minister say to me that he knew Rome was the Babylonian Harlot with a false gospel sending that sent people to hell, but he said he couldn’t speak out against it. The implication seemed to be that it would cause so much controversy in his ministry that he would lose his job.
The minister may well have been right. But that’s not a good reason to avoid criticizing Rome.
Where Has Our Cowardice Gotten Us?
So, just where has our cowardice gotten us Protestants? Has playing nice with Rome and calling the pope “Our Brother in Christ” mollified the pope or caused the Babylonian Harlot Church to stop kicking sand in our faces?
No, it has not.
If nothing else, our cowardice and unwillingness to speak out against the unbiblical, unchristian, unholy evil of Rome’s philosophy, theology, politics, and economics have simply invited more blatant attacks.
What’s going on with the migrant hordes assaulting our southern border is one of the most flagrant and in-your-face attacks by Rome this author has ever seen.
To use another comparison, Protestants today are acting much more like Neville Chamberlain than Winston Churchill, begging Rome for “peach in our time” while the Pope and his henchmen in the church and his dutiful servant in the White House assault our southern border with what is probably the single largest wave of mass, illegal immigration in our nation’s history.
Christian, do you think Rome is going to feel sorry for you? Do you think the Antichrist Jesuit Pope will have mercy on you? Do you think the US Conference of Catholic Bishops will call off their attack dogs?
No.
The more we remain silent, the more we will be attacked until all is consumed and we find ourselves strangers in the land built by our forefathers.
Reprove, Correct, and Instruct
Writing to the Ephesians, Paul said enjoined them, “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove (or expose) them.” In 2 Timothy we’re told by Paul that all scripture is profitable for reproof, correction, and instruction.
It is high time, and well past time, for us Christians to get about our job of applying the Scriptures to the evil deeds of the RCCS. And there are so many of them.
In the past, I have thought at times that I was being overly hard on Rome. I think to myself that I had gone overboard in my criticism of their doctrine and their evil deeds, only to find out that I didn’t understand half of how evil Rome truly is.
The flagrant, in your face evil of what’s being done to Texas with the flood of migrants, and the weak to nonexistent response from the American Protestant church is disgraceful. Paul ordered the Corinthians to “in understanding be men.” Yet far too often, we Protestants prefer to remain as children.
I realize I’ve been hard on my fellow believers in this post. But seriously, enough is enough.
It has come down to this. Either God’s people trust in him, believe his Word, and apply it to Rome’s evil economic and political philosophy and practices, or we lose our nation.
It’s really that simple.
May the Lord grant that we make the wise choice and follow him.

“Our patience is wearing thin
.” Thus did the imposter-in-chief and son of Antichrist Joe Biden bellow from the lectern on Thursday.
My message to unvaccinated Americas is this: what more is there to wait for, what more do you need to see? We’ve made vaccinations free, safe, and convenient. The Vaccine is FDA approved [it isn’t, but that’s another matter]. Over 200 million Americans have gotten at least one shot. We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost all of us. So please, do the right thing. But don’t just take it from me. Listen to the voices of unvaccinated Americans who are lying in hospital beds taking their final breath saying, “if only I’d gotten vaccinated! If only!” It’s a tragedy. Please don’t let it become yours.
With his words, this treasonous liar managed, in very short order, to declare war, not just on unvaccinated Americans, but on all the constitutionally guaranteed liberties of all Americans.
Quite apart from the fact that the Covid vaccines are unsafe and ineffective, Biden’s arrogant and threatening words are among the most disturbing, unconstitutional, and unchristian utterances made by any American politician ever. It’s that serious.
There is no provision in our Constitution that allows a president to dictate what medical treatments a person must have. There is no support for such a thing in Scripture.
It only he had stuck with plagiarizing Neil Kinnock.
Now, when speaking as President in 2021, it seems that Biden has raised his game, lifting his ideas from a higher source. In this case, Revelation 13 seems to be where Biden is stealing his ideas these days. There we read, “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
It is not my point here to argue that the Covid vaccine answers to the prophecy in John’s Revelation. With that said, Biden’s threat to the unvaccinated is certainly of that same spirit we find in Revelation. “Do what I tell you, or else!”
It’s also of the same spirit one finds in the Roman Catholic Church, the Great Babylonian Harlot of Revelation. In the middle ages, Rome was all about “do what we say, or else!” If you didn’t believe that Christ really, truly was present in the sacrifice of the mass, well, you were in a whole lot of trouble and would likely find yourself on the receiving end of some nasty business. This is what dogma is. “Believe, or else!” No matter how stupid, absurd, and unbiblical Rome’s pronouncements were. You had to accept what the pope and his henchmen said or suffer the consequences.
Back in 2006 in his essay “The Religious Wars of the 21st Century,” John Robbins wrote, “The Protestant Reformation is indeed over; the respite of peace, freedom, and prosperity it afforded the West from the long history of human brutality is drawing to a close; and the world is about to enter a new Dark Age of slavery, brutality, and war. Only the second coming of Christ or an extraordinary work of the Holy Spirit can prevent religious totalitarians from imposing their will on billions of people.”
Some may have thought Robbins a pessimist when he wrote that. But fifteen years later, his words seem downright prescient.
America is suffering under the government of its second Roman Catholic president. And unlike the first one, John F. Kennedy, Biden not only sees no need to hide his political and economic Romanism, but actually goes out of his way to embrace them.
By political and economic Romanism, I mean the application of the Roman Catholic Church-State’s (RCCS) theology and philosophy to those two disciplines.
