SATIRE; noun
Satire; make fun of or ridicule a person or persons, or an institution or institutions but…
- Its purpose is not just to entertain, but also to inform or make people think.
And it exists as part of reality. If no reality were present to create something satirical, satire would cease to exist.
Something may appear far-fetched, bizarre, incomprehensible, and could never happen — because it never happened before. Ever hear anyone say that? Doubt the possibility of something occurring because it never has before?
…but countless generations in various places, many people through the ages have come to learn, some learn [the hard way by remaining blind, oblivious, deluded, otherwise occupied, and so on] that what once seemed impossible; “How could this happen!?” “How was it possible this happened here, now!?”
Happens. There are a lot of first-time events. Even though, in reality, there is nothing new under the sun as Solomon declared. If pausing to think about this a bit it does make sense. Really, it does.
At best, giving some people the benefit of our opinion though they may not deserve it [or fear of judging, expressing an opinion, etc.], failures occur due to negligence. Not being up for the job. Not paying attention. Being unfit to serve even though they may outwardly appear qualified. Ever hired or worked with someone who fits those words? Been in a relationship that fits those words?
Due to the massive incompetence, lying, greed, downright stupidity, arrogance, nepotism, and favors — you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours when it gets itchy — the evil within people every so-called unimaginable failure, disaster, chaos, and calamity beyond comprehension, something that never may have happened before is doable. All possible.
Oh, and worse. Even a lot worse than a person’s wildest imagination. All possible. The unimaginable is going to occur.
While the following article is satire from The Babylon Bee please don’t brush it off as nothing but nonsense and a waste of time. Each day history unfolds and TELLS us plainly — clearly, if only we would decide to truly see, truly hear, truly remember, and truly do something about those things we see, hear, and become a thread in our history.
If only…people too often say.
Here’s an example;
When Gavin Newsome announces that he’s running for President of the United States of America, which is very likely considering the level of his arrogance, delusion, and ego, as well as his standing as one member within the ministers of Satan doing his master’s bidding, when he announces his candidacy, if ACP is still up and operating, if I’m still in this fleshly life by the will of God, if the Lord Jesus Christ has not come to gather His people to Him thus revealing the appearance of the Antichrist and his false prophet to the world, and the start of the Great Seven Year Tribulation bringing about woes, travails, and troubles on this earth never before seen, and which will never be known ever again — Mr. Newsom will likely run for president counting on the short memories of folks, on people being otherwise occupied, and so easily seduced and deceived by smooth-talking slick liars. A Serpent in the Garden. That has merely bitten, infected, and gone throughout the world. Nothing has changed since that encounter in the Garden. Just a lot more people seduced by the father of lies, choosing to rebel against God and seek their own pleasures and ways thinking they know better than God, they don’t need God, and in our age, so many are deluded that they are gods.
It is horrific, tragic on myriad levels what was allowed to happen in California due to massive incompetence and misplaced ideologies and money.
But what has happened, and is happening in Southern California is truly a sign of what can happen, what is coming to the world. Due to their turning from God. Due to the people believing, following the wrong people, following people period rather than the Lord.
To the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David.
I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
I will be glad and rejoice in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
When my enemies turn back,
They shall fall and perish at Your presence.
For You have maintained my right and my cause;
You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.
You have rebuked the nations,
You have destroyed the wicked;
You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
O enemy, destructions are finished forever!
And you have destroyed cities;
Even their memory has perished.
But the Lord shall endure forever;
He has prepared His throne for judgment.
He shall judge the world in righteousness,
And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.
The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,
A refuge in times of trouble.
And those who know Your name will put their trust in You;
For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.
Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion!
Declare His deeds among the people.
When He avenges blood, He remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the humble.
Have mercy on me, O Lord!
Consider my trouble from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,
That I may tell of all Your praise
In the gates of the daughter of Zion.
I will rejoice in Your salvation.
The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.
The Lord is known by the judgment He executes;
The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
Meditation. Selah
The wicked shall be turned into hell,
And all the nations that forget God.
For the needy shall not always be forgotten;
The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.
Arise, O Lord,
Do not let man prevail;
Let the nations be judged in Your sight.
Put them in fear, O Lord,
That the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah
Psalm 9

Nation Gets Preview Of Gavin Newsom Presidency
January 10, 2025
By The Babylon Bee
Reprinted from The Babylon Bee
U.S. — As the entire nation watched in horror at the devastation being unleashed on California by multiple wildfires, the American people were treated to a preview of what a Gavin Newsom presidency might look like.
As fires raged throughout Los Angeles and surrounding hills this week and forced hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate their homes. Gavin Newsom surveyed the fires as Americans saw firsthand what a Newsom presidency might look like.
“A flaming hellscape? Ok, good to know that’s what we’d have to look forward to,” North Dakota resident Mark Larsen said. “Add in rampant taxes, thousands of illegal aliens pouring across the border, and no prosecution for criminals? The country’s future has never looked brighter. Brighter because of fire.”
Many critics have linked the wildfires to Newsom’s governance, or lack thereof, and are grateful to know now what the entire country would look like if he were president. The governor was quick to defend his record.
“My results speak for themselves,” Newsom said to reporters. “And when I am president, I can assure every American that the United States will look exactly like California.”
At publishing time, Newsom promised that if elected president he would immediately raise taxes, increase regulations to oppressive levels, and add an unprecedented amount to the national debt to give every American the opportunity to know what it feels like to experience the dream of living in California.

Newsom Reassures Fire Victims He’ll Be Prepared Next Time, Now That He Knows Water Is Useful In Fighting Fires
January 10, 2025
By The Babylon Bee
Reprinted from The Babylon Bee
SACRAMENTO, CA — As wildfires continued to spread destruction across large swathes of California, Governor Gavin Newsom reassured victims of the fires that he’ll be more prepared next time now that he knows water is useful in fighting fires.
In a meeting with a crowd of people whose homes, cars, and belongings had been incinerated by the fires, Newsom reiterated that he won’t dump all of the state’s water into the ocean next time, as it could come in handy battling the blazes.
“I’ll be the first to admit — having some water available would have been beneficial,” Newsom said. “But now that we’ve been informed that water is helpful for extinguishing fire, we’ll make sure not to put all of it back into the ocean. This time was an unavoidable mistake — we just didn’t know. I plead ignorance. Now that we’ve learned our lesson, next wildfire season should go a bit more smoothly.”
Newsom’s statement came after several days of intense research into fires and how to put them out, in which his staff discovered that water was the oldest and most effective substance used by human beings to extinguish flames.
At publishing time, Newsom further reassured fire victims that the state would be even better prepared for the next wildfire season by asking the delta smelt fish if California could borrow back some of the water it gave them.
