Benham Brothers: Only Jesus Can Stop Mass Shootings

The Benham brothers write on Facebook:

There’s not enough “gun laws” on earth to turn a young man from a predator to a protector. But there is a King, whose name is Jesus, that can step into the heart of a man and change him from the inside out. Unfortunately, we don’t want this King.

Our nation glorifies everything that stands against King Jesus and His Kingdom fruit – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, and self-control. As a result, we’re losing our young men and have lost the soul of our nation.

The radical Left says it’s all about the guns – but it’s the heart that holds the gun! A gun in the hand of a good man brings peace and protection, but a gun in the hand of a bad man brings pain and destruction. Our nation has a heart problem – not a gun problem.

Exalt Jesus once again. Teach our young men to deny themselves, become men of God, and fight against evil instead of perpetrate it. Our boys need to be called up to something much higher than video games, binge shows, and porn! There’s so much more…in Christ.

Let’s do our part as we grieve with the families in TX today. Let’s look at our own kids, our sphere of influence, our churches and schools…and let’s call these young men to lay down their lives, bow to Jesus, and pick up His cross and follow Him. Until then, this path of destruction will never stop.

Longtime JMG readers will recall that the Benham brothers were once regulars here, starting in 2014 when they lost their planned HGTV show after activists informed the network about their history of anti-Muslim and anti-LGBTQ activism, which included annual attempts to force the cancellation of Charlotte Pride.

The pair last appeared here in 2017 when they declared that God murders people with hurricanes in order to force America to repent for “satanic” same-sex marriage (and homosexuality in general).

Their father is notorious anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ activist Flip Benham, who has been convicted multiple times for stalking and threats.

When his sons lost their HGTV show, he declared that the network’s acronym stands for “Homosexual Garbage Television” and that gays are the “most violent community” in the nation and that they want all Christians dead.

Senate Skips Town Without Taking Action | 100+ GOP Midterm Ads Feature Guns

Senators McConnell and Schumer opted not to consider any gun violence solutions before letting the Senate leave for a two week break, and Republicans who are concerned with violence on TV need look no further than their own campaign ads.

U.S. Gun Culture Wasn’t Always Like This | The Mehdi Hasan Show

In today’s America, everyone carrying guns everywhere is seen as a hallmark of our exceptional liberty. But it wasn’t always like this, even for conservatives. Author and law professor Adam Winkler joins Mehdi to discuss how we fight this hardline, far-right gun culture that’s left generations of schoolchildren in America traumatized and unsafe.

Lara Trump Blames School Shootings On Lack Of Jesus

“It’s a horrific situation, but yes, they always jump to gun control. But 50 years ago, we had much more lax gun laws than we have now. We had actually more guns per family than we do now per household. And so what changed? Why all of a sudden, Sean, in the past couple decades have we seen a rise in this? And you have to ask yourself that, that’s what any rational person would do.

“And you look across the board at things like the fact that, you know, we have the dissolution of the family in so many respects. We have fatherless children on the rise in America. We have the loss of religion in so many aspects of our country, where it was a foundation of our country at one time. You can’t discount the rise of social media and the role that that has played in things like this.” – Lara Trump.

This is why many people reject organized religion.
No one in the Trump family is remotely religious – and they are as far away from Xtian values as you can get. Babies in cages? Stealing from charities! Hello! But here they are, wrapping themselves in their religious cloaks to tell the rest of use how to live. Abominable hypocrites! So slappable! 😡

More simply, if these assholes honestly believed that our society is chock full of evil, atheistic, violent, game-addicted psychos, why do they also insist that these psychos must be able to legally carry assault weapons?

As usual, taking their nonsense at face value actually makes their argument look even dumber.

So many lies. Families and households are not statistically interchangeable; we’ve always had more guns per family than per household and we always will. The guns we have available have changed over 50 years. Out of wedlock births have been dropping for the last 30 years; fatherless children are not “on the rise”. And religion was nowhere a foundation of this country.

Frank McCormick clay • a day ago

And gun control was not more lax 50 years ago. In fact, after the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations it increased. Reagan signed a new gun control law in California for fear of the Black Panther movement.

After last year’s Texas Lege session, I’m not sure you can characterize Texas, the location of the latest mass shooting, as having ANY gun control.

It looks like the gun fetishers have realized that their usual mantras (like Jesus will save us) aren’t working and have moved on to blatantly lying about recent history as well as implementing more than a dash of whataboutism.

Tacticly, she made a grave mistake in using a 50 year time frame as quite a few of us from that era are still alive, coherent, and not rabid rightwingers. OK Boomer this one assholes!

Lack of Jesus? Seriously? In a mostly Hispanic area, a lack of Jesus? The very definition of your deity says He just sat back and let this happen to innocent children, you stupid cunt.

Two weeks ago Republicans were screaming, “WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE INNOCENT CHILDREN” when the Supreme Court protected blastocysts. This week, after 19 children were slaughtered, they’re screaming, “WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE INNOCENT GUNS!”

CHURCH SEX SCANDALS!

Texas Pastor To City Council: Gays Should Be Executed

Newsweek reports:

A week after saying that he wouldn’t apologize for using homophobic slurs in sermons, Texas pastor Jonathan Shelley, the leader of the anti-gay Stedfast Baptist Church, said in a city council meeting that Pride Month is an “abomination” that shouldn’t be promoted. Shelley addressed the Arlington City Council, where a meeting was being held about acknowledging Pride month, telling them that he’s “horrified and ashamed” that the city decided to “promote and solicit Pride.”

“I don’t understand why we celebrate what used to be a crime not long ago. God has already ruled that murder, adultery, witchcraft, rape, bestiality and homosexuality are crimes worthy of capital punishment.” In March, Shelley’s church got evicted from its building after the pastor said gay people were “worthy of death,” which violated the terms of the lease that said the church should not promote or threaten violence.

Read the full article.

The second clip below was retweeted by Shelley’s church, which somehow still has a Twitter account. Of note, Pastor Shelley only has the gig because his fellow “death to gays” predecessor, Pastor Donnie Romero, was fired by the congregation after he was caught hiring hookers and smoking weed. Which is what Jesus would want. Romero first appeared on JMG when he preached that God should “finish the job” and “kill those queers” hospitalized after the Pulse massacre.

So now they’ve said the quiet part out loud and the cat is out of the bag. Let’s not be under any illusion about the true motive of our enemies – they want us dead.

When will we stop pretending that what he is saying isn’t a Christian teaching that has been a Christian teaching as long as there have been Christians? If you’re in the cult you’re part of the problem. You give cover to those who follow the teachings of the textbook of the cult.

And yet, gluttony is one of the so-called “7 Deadly Sins” that every Christian ought to be aware of even if they can’t recite verses from the Bible. They all give themselves “Mulligans” while casting aspersions on everyone else, like the true hypocrites they are.

Walker Proposes “Department That Can Look At Young Men That’s Looking At Women On Their Social Media”

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports:

Twice in recent days Walker has fumbled questions on gun control: In one interview he seemed to suggest monitoring young people’s social media activity, and in another he dodged the question altogether. The topic is sensitive for Walker. Like many Republicans, he is an ardent champion of gun rights. But firearms have also played a big role in his own turbulent personal history.

Walker’s ex-wife, Cindy Grossman, said he repeatedly held a gun to her head and threatened to blow her “brains out.” A Dallas County judge was worried enough about the possibility of violence that in 2005 he temporarily took away Walker’s guns when he granted Grossman a restraining order. Walker has chalked up the violent episodes to a mental illness he said has now been treated.

The Insider reports:

Walker said the focus should be on the shooters, not guns, and decried “people that’s trying to score political points” by pushing for gun control legislation. “We need to get into what happened to him, why, by putting money in mental health. Have people thought about that?” Walker said.

“People see that it’s a person wielding that weapon, you know, Cain killed Abel,” Walker said. “And that’s the problem that we have. And I said, what we need to do is look into how we can stop those things.”

“You talk about doing a disinformation,” Walker continued, “what about getting a department that can look at young men that’s looking at women, that’s looking at their social media? What about doing that, looking into things like that, and we can stop that that way?”

Arizona Senate Candidate Is A Fan Of The Unabomber

Politico Magazine does a deep dive into Blake Masters:

Masters’ views, while hard right, are not quite fringe in today’s Republican Party. He’s a harsh critic of Big Tech and says Trump was robbed in 2020. He traffics in the “replacement theory” that Democrats want to change the electorate through a wave of undocumented immigrants.

He opposes aid to Ukraine and the right to an abortion. (He recently faced controversy for criticizing Griswold v. Connecticut, which legalized contraceptives nationally.) Masters also clearly likes to get a rise out of people.

He counts Ted Kaczynski as among his intellectual influencers — pointing to the Unabomber’s manifesto as a source of inspiration for his own message of the dystopian techno-present. He told one conservative interviewer that left-wing ideology makes “a pretty good candidate for the Antichrist.”

Read the full article. Masters is a former employee of homocon billionaire Peter Thiel, who has dumped over $13 million into his campaign. There’s a lot more about their history at the link.

 

Bob’s Your Uncle – BYU • 4 hours ago

There’s no denying that the inmates are running the asylum. The USA has become a gigantic mental institution when large numbers of voters and politicians look up to psychopaths. It makes me sick to my stomach.

Why do i assume theyre saying:

“We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”
