Another church service featuring Toby Doeden suddenly appears.

Some new PAC that no one can find identifying information for is suddenly announcing a Charlie Kirk remembrance via text blast today in the Aberdeen area.

Hm. That’s sudden and I haven’t seen a lot of churches announce services via text blast. Who else uses that text blast method almost weekly? 

And what’s this service all about?    Well, I was sent the program from a source. And it appears that the reflection is coming from Toby Doeden, and no other elected officials or politicians seems to be participating?  Imagine that.

Maybe it’s just cynical me, but why do I think there the church photographer will be there to document Doeden at the podium/pulpit (again)?  What was that quote I used last time?

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

– Matthew 6:5

  1. This is from a report on the real service just a short time ago…

    Minutes after Mr. Kirk’s widow, Erika, urged the crowd to love their enemies as her husband did, Mr. Trump said he could not agree. “I hate my opponent and I don’t want the best for them,” he said, adding “Sorry Erika.” (NY Times)

    This is NOT what a US President says at a funeral. It’s certainly not what a Christian says. It’s repulsive. And it’s purposefully incendiary.

    1. it was a humorous break in the eulogy. It’s about 20 minutes in, at the halfway mark. If you watch it, it was a moment of levity and the crowd liked it..Tucker Carlson was even funnier, describing how 2000 years ago some people didn’t like what Jesus was saying about them, wanted to make Him shut up and came up with the bright idea of killing Him.

      1. What you guys find “humorous” is actually more like a different “h” word – “horrifying.” Trump freely indulging his petty vendettas while his faithful believe all his crimes are fake news – that’s humorous.

    2. It’s amazing how much Leftist discourse is just pretending not to understand things, thus making discourse impossible.

      Watch the whole speech in its entirety and pay special attention to how he framed his comments about the differences between Charlie and him. Trump’s primary point that should not be lost is that he knows it takes work to be like Charlie. It takes unusual commitment and faith. He knows that Charlie was a better man than most, including him. And maybe we should all try to be more like Charlie. It’s all there in the speech.

      This is the most Christian part of Trump’s speech. It deeply underscores Paul’s message about the sinner-saint tension that exists within us, the same as Erika is dealing with in re her forgiveness of Tyler Robinson. Trump, in his own way, is repeating Paul: “The good that I should, I do not, the evil I should not, that I do.” Paul’s summation, “Wretched man that I am, who shall free me from this body of sin and death,” points straight to Christ Jesus—just like Charlie did.

      1. Not even Trump would touch Tubby with a 10-foot pole.
        Tubby wants to be Trump – but everything he claims to believe in so staunchly goes directly against the Trump agenda (anti-pipeline, anti-data center, anti-economic development)

      2. There are strong common indications among Doeden’s support base regarding the election integrity movement, which is driven by Lindell. Church communities seem wise to the survey hustle, and perhaps they’ve adopted some technology to help them coordinate to produce more reliable results, or some other means? At the same time, are they providing false information to pseudo-trad surveys? I hope they’re not just using FaceBook’s intelligentsia industrial complex. :\

        Good luck to all the candidates.

        I look forward to helping ensure a secure election, and to working with whomever (really truly really really) wins on the issues that my family and community and I care about.

        Sincerely,

        John

  2. South Dakota, because of its low population, is integrated from top-to-bottom through curches, lodges, associations, orgs. Information traveled fastest here for a long time. That playing field has leveled, however, with information transport latency being asymptotic toward zero, toward the speed of light. Is the venue really an issue? More to the point, organizing political intentions around such a horrific event is a questionable tactic. That said, is it Doeden’s fault that he’s being asked a Kirk question 1000 times/day as a litmus test for suitability for office? The pendulum is swinging wildly and forcefully back, and it’s momentum threatens to pull us off of our proved practical idea and fact set bases. As many warned about this moment, I’ll venture now to caution anyone considering support for a purely Theocratic regime, forcing people to live only in the religious sphere, to deny and neglect humanity, to drive a huge machine in an unknown direction, to live in a world where good serious questions are met with the slow moving violence of communistic social credit score driven public and private life. There are various ways to create the control panel for such a regime. After careful planning for a century, the plan to attack the US was enacted after a series of global wars weakened the country’s cohesion. Meanwhile, enclaves of unintegrated migrant communities create incompatible, dubious, incongruent proposals within government process (on purpose?). The first undeniable and devastating direct attack came on 9/11. Since then, a series of dumb decisions by a desperate global leadership created the world’s present set of affairs .. can you smell the panic? Panic, emotion, drama.

    To test where we are in the process, in addition to pinching myself to know if it’s for real, I pose the following question periodically.

    2+2=?
