The ‘Unified Reich’ Scandal is a Feature Not a Bug of Trump’s Brand of American Fascism

By Annika Brockschmidt

…that gets missed in much of the media coverage and debates around Trump in 2024, especially because so much of the focus has been on the question of is there a nascent multiracial coalition that’s going to be backing Trump? Certainly, it does appear to be that Trump is drawing from a more diverse voter base than he did in 2016 or 2020. But I don’t necessarily think that changes this other dynamic; it might get him elected, but it’s the Groypers w…

Dispelling the Zombie Myth of White Evangelical Support for Trump

By Robert P. Jones

…Trump committed serious federal crimes (69% vs. 66%); and Disagree that the 2024 election of Trump to the White House poses a threat to American democracy and way of life (72% vs. 67%). Stated most conservatively and plainly: church attendance levels make no difference in support for Trump among White evangelical Protestants today. The data also indicates that Trump’s nostalgic appeal to protecting the ideal of a White Christian America resonates…

By Peter Montgomery

…ther setback in the struggle for gay rights on the continent. Chad’s penal code is more than half a century old and does not explicitly mention homosexuality. But section 361 of a draft new code states the punishment for anyone who has sexual intercourse with someone of the same sex is 15 to 20 years in jail and a fine of 50,000-500,000 Central African francs (£60-£600), according to a document seen by Agence France-Presse.

Capricology: Tattoos, Blood, Cyber-Dating

By Anthea Butler

…ke away that free will, except for those who have the capacity to hack the code and reprogram the car. We normally think of robots as almost pure code, yet the scene last week when Graystone orders the Zoebot to rip off her arm raises some interesting stakes in this. It seems to me that people may be treating the Cylons differently depending on what mix of code and law they believe governs their behavior. And of course, those of you who study reli…

Egyptian Da Vinci Code Author Angers Coptic Christians

By Joseph Mayton

…ene, as the Egyptian authorities did in 2007 when they banned The Da Vinci Code. The Coptic community—which accounts for roughly 10 percent of the nation’s 80 million citizens—had raised alarm and demanded that both the book and movie be banned. Now, three years on, Zeidan’s bestselling novel is is prompting angry demands from that same community. In early May a group of Coptic lawyers demanded that the government imprison the author for five year…

The Biblical Money Code!

By Gordon Haber

…we find an investment advisor named Sean Hyman pushing “The Biblical Money Code,” which claims that advice “woven” into Scripture has helped him go from earning $15,000 to giving away up to $50,000 a year. Unlike Hovind, Hyman is giving away his system for free. All you have to do is sit through an hour-long video, during which Hyman explains how “to unlock vast amounts of wealth safely and ethically.” Fancy explanations are provided, but it’s act…

“Muslim Gospel” Revealing the “Christian Truth” Excites the Da Vinci Code Set

By Annette Yoshiko Reed

…e GBarn undermines Christianity. Such claims soon attracted attention from Western journalists. The Daily Mail addressed the claim that this gospel might “cause Christianity’s collapse,” while the Vatican Insider dismissed it as a “hoax,” charging that the Gospel of Barnabas was a forgery. The dating of the manuscript was questioned by scholars like T. Michael Law, and Christian blogs offered point-by-point refutations countering the notion that t…

Trump’s Pathological Devotion to Border Walls Isn’t Political, It’s Theological

By Alana Massey

…une meeting with Trump, he had suggested building a wall across the entire Sahara to cull immigration to Europe. As border detentions continue climbing—and with far less visibility—Trump has threatened a government shutdown ahead of the midterms if the border wall isn’t funded, tweeting “’When will Republican leadership learn that they are being played like a fiddle by the Democrats on Border Security and Building the Wall? Without Borders, we don…

The Right’s Satanic-Grammy-Panic Isn’t About the Devil or Pfizer or Even Scantily-Clad Women — It’s All About the Transphobia

By Mary Rambaran-Olm

…nother woman whose special grown-up time zone he can’t make drier than the Sahara. Maybe I don’t really understand what “evil” means after all. I think men walking into schools and murdering children is evil. Forcing rape victims to endure unwanted pregnancies is evil. Forcing people to choose between poverty or death because of a monetized and profit-driven healthcare system is evil. Leaving your constituents to freeze to death while running away…
