This is one of the main reasons The Warning has such a devoted following: It’s not just who they are on stage, which is a perfectly-rehearsed band with a commanding presence exuding expertise and confidence, it’s their offstage personae. In their more everyday life videos, they are just a bunch of humble, self-effacing, surprisingly ordinary…[Read more]

We Americans give lip service to supporting certain internationally-accepted basic rules of conduct in conflicts. Avoiding civilian casualties, no retributive or terroristic acts (no raping the enemy’s women, for example), no summary field executions, no kangaroo courts, no genocide, and no torture being among them. We expect each side to adhere…[Read more]

Many Christians lead exemplary lives. My own parents, for example. Kind, unprejudiced, compassionate, altruistic. If it weren’t for the obvious fact that there is no God, I might well be a Christian myself, following in their footsteps.

Billy Graham’s wife Ruth was very nice apparently, she took the writer Patricia Cornwell under her wing and saved her bacon, when she was a troubled little girl, showcasing the best of Christianity.  That’s why Cornwell wrote her biography.

The Warning released a lyric video of another song from their upcoming Keep Me Fed album:

Tortured. Shackles and handcuffs kept on too tight for so long (weeks, months) until limbs had to be amputated. Told to raise their hands over their head longer than they were capable of doing, so their hands were ziptied to the wire fence. Blindfolded for days and weeks at a time.

Things people get wrong about The Warning that I have to straighten them out on.

Now and then I’ll hear a reactor say something like “I’d like to hear Dany take more solos.” I explain that Dany simply doesn’t take guitar solos, if what you mean is an on-the-fly original solo like Eric Clapton took on the song Crossroads or that Jimmy Page did on…[Read more]

Freeze the Fall is a Canadian rock trio showing a lot of promise and getting a fair amount of interest from The Warning fans. However, despite doing at least two covers of TW songs, they might want to emulate TW in various ways. First, drop the fussy fiddly wardrobe, girls. It’s a distraction. Drummer guy…the mask? come on! And get a new audio…[Read more]

If history decides that the American student protests are on the wrong side of history, it will be the first time. They were right about civil rights in the 60’s and about the war in Vietnam. They tend to have a keener perception of what’s right than their elders, when they become a mass movement.

The Iranian Shiitehead Mullahs are supplying Hamas and working on their nukes, meanwhile their own people are fed up with them. I’m sure the women especially miss their freedoms, education, music, and dance and are sick of wearing black tents. Hamas would be long gone without the Mullahs and Ayatollahs. I’m sure the Ayatollahs wou…

One of the related issues i have been thinking about is tackled by Sam Harris in the vid that follows. So i am thinking either you are a run of the mill Jew hater and or you have been persuaded by the far left that Israel is Satan and is actually an apartheid, colonialist, genocidal nightmare to such an outstanding degree that…

The image is confusing. This is a two-parter and the first half is germane to this topic if the video’s “thumbnail” isn’t.

Someone didn’t give these punks the memo that the criticism is not meant against (((the Jews))):

I’m not claiming there’s no antisemitism in the world. Duh!

Criticizing the Israeli government’s genocidal tendencies in Gaza is humanism, not antisemitism.
