1/ One of Jesus’ slyest remarks: “Beware the yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod.” (Mark 8:15) Yeast inflates the dough; it’s an expander.
2/ What expands the Pharisees? What inflates the religious? That’s pretty easy -- it’s on display all the time. It’s the air of superiority, the stance towards everyone who doesn’t measure up that says, “I’m ok; you’re not so hot.” Lot of that going around.
3/ But what is “the yeast of Herod”? What expanded Herod?...
4/ Herod is the New Testament’s portrait of corruption. (I know, I know, there are two New Testament Herods, but for this thread I’ll smush them together into one glob of governmental ick.) What makes Herod seem big, seem great? What makes his image rise?...
5/ Mostly it’s Herod's great show of wealth: the regal garments, the gold palaces throughout the land, the wonderful chariots, the endless horses, his own 737 -- wow, what a man!
6/ The problem with Mammon worship is that your soul dies; you can’t trust anybody; every relationship gets reduced to a transaction.
7/ You can do terrible things to defend your wealth. Herod had not just caged little children; he had slaughtered them.
8/ Herod had seemed so free! He was a party boy. There’s a famous scene of his birthday party, when, having invited in all the lesser nobles and kept the commoners out...
9/ Herod got wasted. Then a girl came dancing before him. He was aroused. The girl had been his niece, until Herod married her mother (his brother’s wife). Wonderful family, those Herods - the nicest people. Now, of course, the girl was the king’s own stepdaughter. And so hot!
10/ Herod offered her half the kingdom in exchange for some fun. “I took her furniture shopping.” So the girl ran out and asked mom what to ask for...
11/..Now Herod had already imprisoned John the Baptist after John criticized Herod for seizing his brother’s wife for himself...
12/ Mom wanted John executed for challenging her right to be queen.
So the step-daughter came back to the party demanding the head of John the Baptist. (A truth-teller who was clearly the enemy of the state.)
13/ What’s a king to do? He orders John’s murder.
14/ Oh, and there’s this: Unlike our ruler, Herod didn’t profess to be “such a strong Christian” while defying everything Jesus taught. Instead, the original Herod handed Jesus himself over to be murdered.
15/ What did it all come to? What did God think of Herod? One day Herod got all dolled up and went to a rally and gave a speech and the crowd was going wild, saying, “The voice of a god and not a man!..…
16/ [And Scripture adds]... “Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last.” (Acts 12: 22 - 23) Very cool.
17/ When the first actual and honest biography of this president gets written, I have a title to suggest:
"American Herod"

Just a minor detail lol
This bears strong echoes of the racist screeds of the 1910s and 1920s that paved the way for the rise of the Second Ku Klux Klan and immigration restriction at home, and much worse abroad.
Laura Ingraham: "The America we know and love doesn't exist anymore. Massive demographic changes have been foisted on the American people, and they are changes that none of us ever voted for, and most of us don't like ... this is related to both illegal and legal immigration"
The gap between Gov. Jeff Colyer and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach narrowed to roughly 100 votes on Thursday as the rival Republicans began to show signs that the election may ultimately be decided in a courthouse.
Colyer released a letter at 5 p.m. Thursday calling on Kobach to recuse himself from providing advice to local election officials. The letter comes after multiple counties reported that the election night totals on the secretary of state’s website were inaccurate, further clouding the results of a historically close election.
“It has come to my attention that your office is giving advice to county election officials — as recently as a conference call yesterday — and you are making public statements on national television which are inconsistent with Kansas law and may serve to suppress the vote in the ongoing primary election process,” Colyer said in a letter.
Colyer’s campaign spokesman, Kendall Marr, explained in a phone call that the campaign has heard that Kobach’s office has told county clerks to disregard ballots with a smudged postmark. Marr said that ballots received before a Friday deadline need to be counted.
The call for recusal was Colyer’s biggest shot at Kobach since Tuesday’s primary ended without a clear result. Neither Kobach’s campaign, nor office immediately responded to Colyer’s letter.
Around the same time news broke that Colyer received 100 more votes in a western Kansas county than previously reported, the governor’s campaign announced the establishment of a voter integrity hotline. Hours later, additional counties reported that votes had been incorrectly reported on Tuesday.
