MTG's planned resignation announcement is nothing to celebrate. It is not sustsinable for minorities to be a homogenous and monolithic band tied to one political party. There must be a plan to make a change to have a voice in multiple political parties.

Racism, classism and sexism can be defeated. Parties can be opened by strategies and planned action. No one has to be a puppet. Tables and power opens up by organinzed action. Taking crumbs is a tired model.

Evil and Culture
Copyright 2025
Craig Kyle Hemphill

When we consider culture and the model of hate, do we or should we consider evil and culture? Bear in mind that Christ and culture is the intersection or intersections of understandings of religiosity and how we perform or live life in fidelity to God. Or at least one aspect of a guiding ethos of "being" Christian. If then that is the standard of American post-colonial through mid-1970s' religious and political thought, then evil and culture is the antithesis.

What we truly note is an anti-Christ culturalism masquerading as a moral and patriotic compass of light. If we as a certainty believe that there is not a duality with respect to God and an equal anti-God power. That is to say there is not a co-equal evil power that rivals God, then evil and culture is a subtext to a deficiency in American social guide.

What we have then when we observe the current cruelty and evil existing in this moment concerning American society is a spirit of bold disobedience to all things Holy.

Arguably, we exist in the present time in a vulgar hedonist performative agenda masquerading as a mandate toward righteousness.

This then is where we began our examination task of evil and culture by examining the evil of culture. Similar to Neibuhr's Christ and Culture with its points of intersection. We look to examine the evil of Culture to disect its influences on law, religion, politics, American democracy and its debasing/pervassive decay of Western morality.

Subsequently, as we have the evil of culture, we take examinations the evil in culture, the evil as culture, evil beneath or debasing culture and evil masquerading as transcending culture. All these demonstrating evil and culture to ask the question, what of God, humanity, sin and salvation?

Antisemitism and racism against blacks Jews are the same side of the coin.

Both blacks AND Jews must unite to LOUDLY confront the issues that both isms present. You CANNOT have silence from either side. Both must express in a unified voice what it means to be a Jew and what it means to be black. Both are religiously persecuted. The two are one in experiencing hatred, physical assaults, racial discrimination and indignity of inhuman treatmet; the Holocost and the Atlantic slave trade. C**n, K**e, watermelon people, jew boy, vermin and ni**er are one in the same racist words. Burning crosses and swatztikas are the same.

The Jew AND the black COLLECTIVELY must explain to their children what it means to be black and what it means to be Jewish. And BOTH must fiercely defend each other. Any racism by a Jew toward a black is the definition of stupidity. Any racism by a black toward a Jew is the archetype of ignorance.

There is one strong thread of united decency that should be the combinef cord between the black and the Jew in unification. Period.

Just a simple comment. The Nobel Peace Prize is not an award given by lobbying to receive it. Who would not want the Award?

Awards are earned by excellence and hard work. I have been a member of Kappa Alpha Psi for over 30+ years and have never received a direct Fraternal award. And THAT is a good thing because obviously I have not earned one.

When I received the 2009 B'nai B'rith International Distinguished Humanitarian Award when I walked across the graduation stage at Perkins School of Theology, SMU, I was floored the faculty nominated me and honored me with the Award. It was completely unexpected and I had NO CLUE it was coming until I heard my name called and I had to do a double take.

Nothing beats recognition based on hard work, temerity, grit and commitment. Popularity awards fade. Earned awards last!

STUPIDITY AND ECONOMIC PRAGMATISM

Professor Craig K. Hemphill
2025

“Class, if you learn your economics you can do what I do everyday. What is that? Read the Wall Street Journal and eat a ham and cheese sandwich!”

Late Dr. Tom Holland
Professor of Economics

“There are lies and then there are damn lies.”

Statistician Proverb

Free markets never do well with artificial price manipulations. Whether by price ceilings, floors or some tax scheme. Macro monetary policy works best when driven by market influences.

The recent US tariff policy is the archetype of stupidity in economic analyses and a damn lie in statistical probabilities.

One cannot cause an economic crisis say for US soybean farmers by causing a price increase in US goods and then suggest a circular bailout for the farmers. The path is not economic pragmatism. This is especially true when there is an ability for market participants to seek soybeans elsewhere.

A well-thought out monetary or fiscal/trade initiative would have taken into consideration the ability for trade participants to seek US product alternatives elsewhere. Instead, the shortsighted belief is that US goods are soo superior that there is no alternative. Lies and damn lies.

From an economic perspective market players will now need to start speaking with consumer power and votes if we have any hope of preserving the US capitalist system.

Learned economics certainly lead to ham sandwiches and Wall Street Journal insights. Tariff manipulations do not. Any other notion is a damn lie!

ENDORSEMENT OF RE-ELECTIOM OF LYNN CLOSURE FOR MISSOURI CITY CITY COUNCIL MEMBER AT LARGE POSITION #2

In every generation there is a time such as now where any particular country, the collective people of that country and varied communities existing in the country must forge a path to abolish under elements that threaten societal freedoms—especially in a capitalist system example concerning the ultimate ability of free enterprises to survive. This is so even when those who exist as one in a democratic republic and a free market system become gravely oblivious in baited slumber to real hidden dangers that erode and seek to erase conservative and social benevolent ideas engrained in a free culture.

Over the years, I witnessed Lynn Clouser work tirelessly to promote social awareness and programs to uplift special needs individuals, promote capitalist ideas and programs to help large corporations, small businesses and one-person sole proprietorships to thrive—no matter the ethnicity or political perspective of the business principals and decision makers.

Miss Clouser represents competence and intellectual sophistication to effectively create local government policies, ordinances and social/business initiatives to continue to uplift Missouri City in Fort Bend County, Texas. She is a true Texan and is a voice of pragmatic reason needed on the local government level to help ensure a high level of civic representation that epitomizes what it means to be a true and patriotic American woman. Lynn stands not only for Missouri City residents but also people outside of her constituents. Miss Clouser seeks to represent all Americans.

For the above reasons, I without reservation endorse the re-election of Miss Lynn Clouser for Missouri City City Council at Large Position # 2.

Always seek the better choice over the purely self choice.
