Kind of an interesting set Read more
IG Dismissed Teichert Complaint without Investigating
Most know by now, but for those who don’t, US Air Force BGen John Teichert has been cleared following Michael “Mikey” Weinstein’s 22-page complaint about his religious beliefs.
It turns out the Inspector General didn’t even investigate. It did the required first step — analyze the complaint — and determined Weinstein’s complaint was so frivolous it didn’t even warrant an investigation.
Mikey Weinstein’s reaction was typical: Read more
AF Family Complains about Goodfellow AFB Catholic Chaplain’s Sermon
Gina Harkins at Military.com says the Air Force is “looking into” a complaint about the content of a Catholic chaplain’s sermon last month [emphasis added]:
Capt. Antonio Rigonan, an Air Force chaplain at Goodfellow Air Force Base in San Angelo, Texas, said during an Aug. 19 service that many priests who’ve abused children were “homosexuals” and “effeminate,” according to a military officer’s spouse who attended that morning.
In context, “looking into” appears to mean nothing more than “find out about,” since the Air Force had no idea there was a complaint until the press asked: Read more
USAFA General Now Admits Being in the Tank for Mikey Weinstein
Until this summer, Col Martin “Marty” France was the Head of the Department of Astronautics at the US Air Force Academy, and he had been for some years. As a permanent professor he was allowed to maintain his rank and his position — and then retire with a promotion, as a Brigadier General.
Nine days after he retired, one of BGen (retired) France’s first acts as a civilian was publicly joining Michael “Mikey” Weinstein’s MRFF.
In fact, it seems he isn’t ashamed of admitting he was in the tank for Mikey all along, even while he served on the USAFA faculty Read more
VP Mike Pence on Being Called Christian Supremacist
From USA Today, as repeated in the Stars and Stripes:
Vice President Mike Pence turned to the Bible when asked recently what he makes of a new critical biography that calls him a “Christian supremacist.”
“The Bible says count it all joy when you endure trials of many kinds,” Pence told the Christian Broadcasting Network in an interview excerpt released Friday. “Any time I’m criticized for my belief in Jesus Christ, I just breath a prayer of praise.”
For those familiar, of course, the “Christian supremacist” label (more accurately, pejorative) is Read more
Upcoming Christian Movies Share Military Theme

Prayer at Lunchtime: Pray for Your Enemies
From the PLUS website, posted yesterday:
Because we are Christians in America in 2018, there are those who will oppose us. They will curse us. They will hate us. They will despitefully use us. They will persecute us.
In reality, this isn’t unique to American Christians in 2018. It has happened to believers throughout history.
As we stand strong and unwavering in our beliefs, Jesus Read more
Mikey Weinstein Attacks Christians while Muslims Plot Attacks on US Troops
Last week US Army SFC Ikaika Kang pled guilty to trying to help ISIS. He was motivated by his Islamic faith so much that he considered being a suicide bomber against his fellow troops at Hawaii’s Schofield Barracks.
Yet, Michael “Mikey” Weinstein and Christine “Chris” Rodda seem convinced US military Christians are the “clear and present danger” to the United States of America.
Nearly two dozen Islam-motivated plots or attacks have occurred either against or within the US military over the past few years.
Exactly zero Christian-motivated plots and attacks have occurred against or within the US military over that same time period (or prior).
Yet Mikey Weinstein and Chris Rodda have awkwardly tried to maintain their focus on Christians — even as Mikey Weinstein became entangled with some of those same Muslim troops.
Remember, after Read more
