     Sad news. Mike Nesmith died yesterday. I always thought he was the most talented of the four Monkees. Great song writer and musician. The only Monkee still alive now is Micky Dolenz.

   Oh no, the Trumpist Christians have decided that various NT prohibitions of “pharmakeia” is a secret code of warning against vaccines.“
There was an increase in search engine searches for "sorceries" which is related to heightened interest in the Greek word pharmakeia, which, according to a Greek-English Dictionary of the New Testament means ‘employment of drugs for any purpose; sorcery, magic, enchantment’” Some Christians have brought up the term when claiming that Scripture prophetically warns against the vaccine and vaccine mandates, since it shares a root with the word pharmaceuticals.
     For the record..I dont believe that ANY of that is true. But I am very aware of a host of Bible interpretations that the Right Wing is misusing to push their ideas as being Christian...and it began with Romans 15 at the beginning of the pandemic
The Bible would call that "holding truth in error" and has a bad spiritual end. (See Roman 1 beginning at verse 18)​


Republican candidate Nick Huey has launched a somewhat unorthodox campaign in Utah’s 4th Congressional District. Here is Huey’s list of Republican wrongs that he says need to be righted:

1. 1. We’ve sacrificed unity at the altar of political gain.
2. 2. We’ve weakened faith in the election process without solid evidence of fraud. We rushed to deny the veracity of our own loss in the 2020 election, but said nothing about fraud when we won subsequent elections.
3. 3.We’ve used tools like the debt ceiling as political blackmail to achieve our aims, rather than focus on being a party with compelling solutions.
4. 4.We’ve vilified you for “out of control spending” when you had power, and then immediately gone on extravagant spending sprees of our own.
5. 5. We’ve stalled Supreme Court appointments in the name of fairness, and then rushed them forward when it favored us.
6. 6. We’ve gerrymandered our way to influence, letting politicians choose their voters, instead of respecting that — in a republic — the voters ought to choose who represents them.
7. 7. We’ve too often used “both sides do it” as an excuse to not hold ourselves and our allies accountable.
8. 8. We regularly accept campaign money from special interests, then cry “foul” when you do the same.
9. 9. We’ve been slow to the table in civil rights.
10. 10. We have voted against increased transparency and allowed leadership to be compromised by special interests and outside money.
11. 11. We have rejected good ideas, simply because they came from the wrong mouth.
12. 12. We have left the enormous task of addressing climate change and other issues to you, rather than come to the table with solutions of our own. In fact, our go-to answer to the world’s greatest problems has been to say that Democrats’ solutions are terrible, while half-heartedly advocating for our own.
13. 13. We’ve used past actions to justify ever worsening behavior, lowering the bar for civil discourse and ethical governance year after year.
14. 14. We’ve focused more on your weaknesses than your strengths, and more on our strengths than our weaknesses.
15. 15. We have not been the fiscal conservative partners we’ve promised to be.
