Weekly Roundup: They Want to Rule, Not Govern: Live-Streamed Executions, “Enemy Combatants,” and the Midterm Panic (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)
They want to rule, not govern.
This week on the Weekly Roundup, Brad Onishi and Dan Miller break down Trump’s “bomb LA” comments, the “enemy combatant” rhetoric aimed at Somalis in Minnesota, Hegseth’s plan to live-stream a firing squad execution, and Tucker Carlson and Curtis Yarvin’s Hitler comments. Then they close with some reasons for hope: Ossoff in the Georgia debate and a Satanic invocation in Ottumwa, Iowa.
With the midterms less than a month away, Brad and Dan argue the GOP is ramping up fear-mongering, race-baiting, and empty promises because it has little else left to offer.

Republicans say they hate communists. So why do they like Donald Trump?
Though Trump may fail, Americans’ acquiescence as he grabs for power raises a question for those who freak out over Mamdani’s city-run bodegas: why is Trump’s lurch to take over the American economy any better than what they hear from the Democratic Socialists of America?…

Can You Be a Bible-Believing Christian and a Socialist? (Dan McClellan and Dan Beecher; Data Over Dogma podcast on YouTube)
Pastor Mark Driscoll says you can't be a Bible-believing Christian and a socialist, and that "thou shalt not steal" settles the question.
This week, we take that argument apart: what the Ten Commandments actually presuppose, what the eighth-century prophets had to say about creditors and land consolidation, and why the economics of the New Testament look nothing like Driscoll's. Ancient Israel and Judah weren't running a capitalist economy or a socialist one, but the text has a great deal to say about who gets protected and who gets ground down.

History Minute (087): KKK, Marxism, anti-Semitism and conspiracy theories
The Ku Klux Klan views White supremacy not merely as an ideal, but as a necessity to survival, with White Americans facing extinction on their own soil due to immigration. Big cities that attract foreign workers are especially threatening to American institutions.
The KKK promotes anti-Semitism and conspiracy theories about Jewish immigrants who were (are) considered especially suspicious of spreading Russian pro-Bolshevist propaganda (i.e., Marxism and socialism) by encouraging workers and Blacks to initiate a revolution through labor unions, promoting civil rights, the teaching of evolutionary biology, and the granting of voting rights to the great mass of "incompetent" voters.
Moreover, the KKK claims that White Protestant Americans -- not Jews -- are the actual "chosen people".
