Fear Not 2.O — The Church When the Nation Become Idolatrous (part 2)
When someone talks about moving abroad to get away from Trump’s America, I think of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was studying at Union Seminary in New York City in 1930-31, and could have remained in the U.S. In fact, Union professors and other church leaders implored him to stay. But he knew he needed to return because of the gathering storm […]
The Justice Paradox: Asking Power to Follow Its Own Rules
Journalists just asked Pam Bondi of The Justice Dept whether she intends to follow the law. Imagine that— the nation pausing to wonder whether the Attorney General,the very steward of justice,the keeper of statutes and truth,will honor the rules she’s sworn to defend. It’s almost poetic…if it weren’t so painfully absurd. Well, the pragmatist would say, the law is not […]
Fear Not 2.0 — The Uplift of Fellow Travelers
Last Tuesday was a good day for those opposing this Administration – people who cannot stomach MAGA policies, actions and goals… neighbors who reject President Trump’s leadership team and methods. The election made something important visible: it turns out we are not alone (even though this stretch of political history often leave us feeling we are). In the face of […]

Hurricane Melissa In Jamaica As Of October 27, 2025
The Neoliberal is not predicting or reporting devastation as many American journalists are reporting. More than ever before, Jamaicans seem very prepared and are just waiting for the storm/hurricane to pass. As as today, there are flooding but no major impact. Many still have electricity and many business and some shops are open while essential services are still in operation. […]
Fear Not 2.0—March With The Church!
Desperation sets in when we are hoping for, but not seeing ANYONE or ANYTHING that can prevent the President from grabbing power that isn’t his. No one can convince Trump not to break the norms or the laws that get in his way. And the most obvious centers of power to hold Trump in check – Congress and the Supreme […]

Abria Jackson: Acting in Faith, Storytelling in Truth By Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie
When Abria Jackson walked into a London theater this summer to see Night of Violence—the opening film of the UK’s FrightFest—she wasn’t alone. Sitting next to her was her mother, beaming with pride. “It was very emotional,” Jackson recalled. “My father passed away a couple of years ago, and he was so supportive of my dream. Knowing that my mom […]
A Great America is Destroyed from Within Not Without
Dear Mr. President, Five years ago I blogged: A Great Civilization Is Not Conquered From Without Until It Has Destroyed Itself From Within (W. Durant). This was while watching Apocalypto. If Trump the GOP, and MAGA want “America to be Great Again”, 1st stop the bleeding within… https://renaldocmckenzie.blogspot.com/2020/09/a-great-civilization-is-not-conquered.html “A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed […]
