The Mueller Responsibility

Posted on by beautybeyondbones

Well, the mainstream media has officially been caught with their pants down.

Yep – after two years of reporting on rumors and hearsay, the Mueller report was finally released, and what do you know…there was no evidence of collusion with Russia!

Yes sir. The investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in an effort to influence the election.

Bam. Take that, MSNBC.

This news comes much to the left’s dismay, of course. Rachel Maddow practically broke down in tears on national television. Many are saying Barr and Mueller were paid off. But mainly, there’s just a lot of crow eating.

I’m just glad it’s over. Frankly, the mainstream news media’s maliciousnarrative of villainizing Trump over some uncorroborated rumors — it was tired and desperate.

But it’s hard not to look at this whole debacle, and see a giant elephant. And it may be different than what you might be thinking.

It’s that, as Christians, we have a huge responsibility when it comes to how we see the world, and what news we take in.

There’s one camp of believers, who avoid the news all together. They put their ear muffs on, and turn a blind eye to the “corruption” outside of their safe bubble. And if that sounds harsh, well — it is.

I am unabashedly opposed to that type of Christian living.

We have a responsibility to be informed about what is going on in the world.

A responsibility.

We can’t just shut our doors, shut out the world, and bury our noses in the Bible and pretend like we’re not living in 2019. We need to know what’s going on out there, if we have any hope of doing any good or being a positive influence.

Which leads me to the crisis at hand: where can one find truth? And I’m not talking about the “Capital T” truth – because, we all know…there’s only one source, and it’s five letters, starts with B, was God-breathed, and contains commentary by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

I’m talking…where do we go to find out what is going on in the world, without being bamboozled by political agendas and biases. Or, as we just witnessed this past weekend — being lied to and presented an arrogant narrative from talking heads who just want to see this President go down in flames.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” – Romans 12:2

We need to be citizens of this world with eyes wide open, grounded in the foundation of Christ. There’s going to be so much garbage flung at us from all directions. Snares and falsities and evil that is going to try to make us stumble in our walk, and be led astray. But we need to persevere.

We have the responsibility of seeing the world through the lens of the Gospel, but don’t misread that: we need to see the world.

We need to know what is going on. We need to be informed, up to date, aware of the state of the world in which we live. Because we are called to live differently. It is our mission to be that beacon of light, beacon of hope, of justice, of truth, of love – in this society that is literally crumbling around us.

The mainstream news media has demonstrated to us over and over and over again that they cannot be our outlet of truth, or even the straight story: Jussie Mullet, the Covington Catholic Scandal, Judge Kavanaugh — the list goes on and on. This is just another notch on the belt of their blatant agenda-pushing dogma. (Mixed metaphor, just go with it.)

There has never been anything more obvious to me, than the fact that as followers of Christ, we need a jolt to the system. We simply cannot be passive consumers of news and information anymore. We cannot drink their agenda’d Koolaid. We need to seek accurate, unbiased news outlets, so that we can make informed decisions when it comes to our politics, and social justice movements.

That is our responsibility.

Saying that “Jesus wouldn’t watch the news” just won’t cut it anymore. Jesus would absolutely know what is going on in the world, because it was His mission to save it. So you’d better believe He’d have an accurate picture of the state of society.

We should too.

Now more than ever.

  1. Great post! Yes, there’s a political circus going on before our eyes but it’s so much deeper and quite spiritual at the core. So glad you use your voice and call a spade a spade when it comes to the media agenda.

  2. I am struggling with my desire to stay true to myself and my political outlook on life. The second term of the Obama Administration did me in. However, I realize that the country is on a precipice and if I don’t speak out now, when? That said, how do I speak out so people will actually listen? For Christmas, I asked for Glenn Beck’s book Addicted To Outrage. I haven’t gotten around to reading it yet, but I think it’s time. It’s about how to engage our misguided brothers and sisters in a way that won’t have them on a chair, screaming back at us across the Thanksgiving table. As for the Left and the Media, this verdict won’t slow them down one bit. As a matter of fact, I expect it to get worse. Oh goody.

  3. Never believed the Russiagate stuff from the beginning. IMO, it was a deflection and a way to hide the cheating and voter purging done by the DNC/Clinton in the 2016 primary election (evidence of it in the emails and in the book on the Clinton campaign journey in the book Shattered). But I get snapped at for thinking such things because no one is allowed to speak negatively about Clinton or even the Democrats to a certain extent (and I don’t care for the Republicans, either. They’re all corrupt and bought but for a small handful). Truth = Jesus Christ. Have a blessed day. 🙂

    I do agree that we should be well informed on what’s happening in this world so we’re not caught off guard. I know the enemy is hard at work to stay on top of things, so should we.

    But we can’t forget that certain people are called to do certain things. And maybe that has to do with less paying attention to all that is going on in the world and more of what’s going on in the worlds of the people they are directly influencing.

    I certainly don’t watch the news as I used to, mostly because it’s usually negativity being broadcasted. I know that’s what catches ratings, but it gets old. I usually go and search out things and read only what seems important.

    Great post!

  10. “While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”
    Only Trump and his supporters could read this as complete and total vindication. Even if there was no collusion, Russian hackers and government officials did interfere with the 2016 elections. Barr himself admitted as much. I kept waiting for Trump to say, “I did not collude with Russia. But if foreign interests interfered with our elections, we need to investigate and stop them from doing it in the future.” If he had, I would give him some benefit of the doubt.
    Before 2016, I never would have thought that conservatives wouldn’t care that Russia, of all nations, interfered with our elections. O brave new world!
    Bam? No. Sorry, no room for gloating here. No room for blaming the “mainstream media” while Russia and any foreign country is free to attack our democracy with impunity.

No one has seen “The Mueller Report” except Mueller, Barr and possibly Rosenstein. We don’t even known how many pages long The REAL Mueller Report is. The ONLY thing we know is that Barr wrote a four page (4 page) puff piece, and itn it Barr even said The Mueller Report DOES NOT EXONERATE TRUMP. Thus, TRUMP LIED. Trump is a LIAR. How can YOU PEOPLE not see that. “THOU SHALT NOT LIE!” Does that ring a bell for any of you who claim to be Christians? Well, TRUMP IS A LIAR. So now what is your excuse?

  14. Ok, so, to be more concise with my criticism of your conclusions:

    Richard Nixon resigned over less evidence than this. It has never actually been definitively proven that Richard Nixon ordered the Watergate break in, but for the political purposes of impeachment there was overwhelming evidence to conclude he had.

    Impeachment is a political process, not a criminal process. The standard of evidence to sustain impeachment is therefore much less than that of a traditional, non-political court of law. In this case there is overwhelming evidence–even more than had been assembled against Nixon when he resigned–that Donald J. Trump conspired with the Russian government to gain the Presidency, and at the very least–if not that–he was used by the Russian government. Both are flatly impeachable.

    Unfortunately, the Republican party learned well from the Watergate scandal, that such a catastrophic failure of executive ethics does in fact carry over onto the entire party. That’s why they’ve circled the wagons and aren’t willing to release the entire report.

  15. I am of two minds about your thesis here, that we need to seek accurate news to make informed decisions about affairs in the political realm. On the one hand, I agree with you: We need to be aware of what is going on in the world, and no man is an island. Shoot, even biased news tells us something. But on the other hand, I disagree with you on the grounds that getting sucked into an ideological struggle can have deleterious effects on us, spiritually, and those around us.

    Ideology wants us to take positions and protest this, that, or the other. Ideology demands rivalry. Morality, contrariwise, wants us to do what is right. Said another way: we should inform ourselves insofar as it helps us determine the good, true, and moral decisions to make.

    So the Mueller nonsense, to me, is not a call to consume MORE news, but actually to be more discerning about it, and maybe even consume less. Mass hysteria would not have happened on this if people were sensible and were cultivating virtues of Justice, Temperance, Fortitude, and Prudence. The lie-peddlers of the world win if we continue to get ourselves wrapped up in their games. It might sound cliche, but in this particular game the only winning move is not to play.

    Lets avoid misunderstanding, also, about what I am advocating. What I am not saying, is “don’t watch news”. I myself still consume a lot of news. What I am saying is, “don’t get emotionally wrapped up in the news”. Don’t define yourself ideologically. I am a Catholic before I am a Republican. Catholic isn’t an ideological statement, there is no rivalry. It is Truth. Republicans are not the guardians of morality, the Church is. Republicans are hopefully informed by morality. But every ideology will disappoint us if we invest our hopes in them.

    God should be the center of all things. If the news and our ideological struggles are not bringing us Joy, Peace, and Life; are not bringing us closer to God; are preventing us from being charitable to our neighbors: it means something in our lives is out of proportion.

The Obama era is still too new to put in a historical context but as a person and a true family man, his personal conduct appeared impeccable.

  24. Hi, beautybeyondbones, wow, I am still amazed at the level of disrespect some of God’s people have for Him and his plan to save America and we, the people from the hands of Satan’s human minions who have worked hard for over sixty-years to paint the canvas we have today called: America! But, the thing is – its a brush of lies, deceit and corruption at the very highest level. Father, had finally answered our prayers for peace, justice and to stop the devil in his tracks from destroying America any further – He gave us Trump, who is at this present moment draining the swamp of what was Washington, DC and the White House from demons and devils that had full range there. To a place where angels and Mother Mary can dwell. Here is the disrespect, in stead of dropping to our knees and say, Thank you, God. We slander the answer to our prayers and arm of God with lie after lie after lie. So much harsh judgement have been passed on the man God put in office to help protect this country from the horrible wickedness of the past administrations before 2016. This is one of the reasons Father is heartbroken that even His beloved Church does not recognize Him in the man He chose to do a work no other (man) could do. The truth, this is a sad, sad day – when believer’s side with the devil and enemy of their soul. While I am not a fan MSM, I do stay informed, but through what Jesus tells trusted and verified ministries and Still Small Voice’s Clare and Ezekiel. It is important to be informed on his I agree, but we are not to follow, listen or take advice from world. Scripture says: 1 John 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. as we move closer and closer to the approach of our Lord, Jesus in his Second Coming. Please, let us not forget how tricky, wicked, crafty and evil our enemy, Satan is and his demons, minions and human counterparts are. We should steer clear of them especially those in the MSM they are not for God nor do they speak for Him. All we can do for they (MSM) is pray their eyes be open to the truth and they stop slandering the president. They will nor anyone else who slanders Trump will go unpunished in the judgement because Trump is God’s hand of mercy for America at this present moment and if you don’t like him – you should pray harder for Him and not speak evil of him or touch him with your words. Scripture says: “Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm (Psalms 105:15, KJV). Our responsibility should be to pray, for MSM, our nation and the president. You may ask: Why do I steer clear of MSM and all news? The answer is simple, because late last year Jesus told us to. Since then the days, weeks, and months passed have proved Jesus’ advise to be very useful and I’ve come to understand first -hand se I have come to understand why. For our very souls sake and for our salvation. Not everyone can go to the fire and remain unshined. That’s why Jesus told us to steer clear of any kind of news, good, bad or indifferent – news taints. As the bribe of Christ we are to remain pure unsullied by the world in any fashion or form. This in of our itself is near impossible for any human, but with God all things are possible. I learned first hand how news taints – when I continued to post Q’s post and how angry and upset I became of the media’s attitude toward our beloved president trump. I knew right than and there that I was in trouble if I kept listening and posting Q’s Anon Post. Now I steer clear and only listen when it involves what I am writing for my books sake. Jesus is coming back for a bride with spot, wrinkle or blemish. I want to be one of those that are alive and remain – faithful in spirit, soul and mind to the God of my heart-Heavenly Father. As for putting the Jussie Smottett case into prospective – while surfing YouTube yesterday searching for Julie True’s songs – I saw a headline explaining why the Jussie story is resurfacing in the Headlines News again from ‘conviction to all charges dropped’ is to bury Muller’s report of “No Collusion” with Russia which means exoneration of our president – Donald J. Trump. As for me, no matter what the news or any other man says about Donald J. Trump – one day the (whole) story will be told, one day when Father God, Jesus and Holy Spirit (The immortal three-in-one) all join voices before the holy angels in heaven to declare, Donald’s My Son! Perhaps, I should be quiet and not speak on this subject, but as some may know – At one time, I had an active blog – Trump in action. But since Jesus told us not to listen to the news of any kind. Saying, he will let us know what is important for us to know. Which essentially put the brakes on my Trump blog so lately I’ve posted very little to not at all on that blog. I feel because of my blog (and beliefs) – Trump is God’s man. I must therefore speak out just as I would if someone spoke negatively about Jesus. We should defend the truth of God whenever possible. And I believe it is my responsibility, honor and privilege to defend him as God’s man and America hope at the close of this generation to wake up those still sleep and in darkness to this fact. Its time to put augments and disagreements aside and sincerely prepare our hearts for the Lord’s return. At this point, it really doesn’t matters whose right or whose wrong – one day very soon we will face the Master’s judgment seat to give account for what, why and how we believed…and that day is coming sooner than anyone could image – Scripture says, Revelation 16:15 (KJV)
    Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. Our concern should be will we be ready when Jesus comes to meet him in the air and enter the joy of the Lord or will we spend eternity regretfully? As Christians, sometimes we need to be reminded of what needs to be done and of the important things to the Lord. I hope, my words here are such ‘reminders’ of what pleases the Lord and to exhort, not judge, or condemn as I have tried to do with my blogs. May God’s mercy, love and grace guide our every step until he comes for us.
    And on that note, I’d like to say a thousand thanks, to BeautyBeyondBones, for always, always liking and following my blogs and post. I am most thankful and appreciative.

  26. I remember when I was a boy in Catholic school and they taught us how Jesus made fun of the disabled people and I thought, “When will our country have a great leader that truly models Jesus’ teachings?” Then I saw Trump make fun of a disabled reporter on national TV and I thought, “Finally!” But then Trump denied it and said he didn’t do it and I thought, “There’s another false prophet to my savior’s teachings”…
    I’m sure that at some point after Trump leaves office, we will discover something that he did has accidentally turned out to be a good thing. I’m optimistic.
    But for the life of me, I cannot understand how people watch him do these terrible, terrible things that he does – making fun of disabled people, openly bragging about grabbing women by the p**y, calling poor countries shth*les, bragging that he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and his base would still support him! – and still not only support him, but repeat his lies for him.
    In all seriousness, I enjoy reading your posts. I am happy for your triumphs and often excited to take a stab at your recipes.

    But supporting this Trump guy?
    To me, it absolutely defies reason.
    Mueller’s report did not exonerate the president. It simply (sadly) did not condemn him. There’s a lot of possibility between those two statements, Barr released a 4 page summary of a 300 page report. Anyone want to read the whole thing? I’d challenge anyone who accepts a 4 page summary of shady, backdoor behaviors and dealings as gospel to be someone who is simply looking for a way to validate their acceptance of the things they saw and ignored with their own eyes.

  27. I agree we have a responsibility to be informed of the world outside our bubble. I agree we have a responsibility to use our Christian “critical thinking lens” when we are informed by any media outlet. And that we also have to do something when that lens shows us we need to be concerned. Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s “responsible action” is a Call To Respond…or at least To Question when our lens says “Something’s not right here.” And lest we fall faint of the task, let us remember Pastor Martin Niemoeller’s poem: First they came for the communists….then for the trade unionists…then for the Jews…then for me and there was no one there left to speak for me.

  29. I agree that everyone needs to be careful when it comes to what news you read and listen to no matter your political affiliation. I know for me I don’t have one particular site of news I go to. I tend to try and avoid Fox News and CNN whenever I can because they both are very biased when it comes to news. But most of the time I check out my local news to see what’s going on close to where I live.

    I also don’t believe the very first story I read about a particular subject unless other news sites also talk about that subject and it’s clear that there’s no bias when addressing it. I also think what helps me is that I studied journalism in school so I feel like I have a good understanding of the way the news works and can spot when I read a story whether the journalist writing is reporting or stating their opinion on a subject because that definitely makes a difference. But I also know I’m not perfect when it comes to investigating what I read too and can easily fall into the trap of reading a story and not checking it out, whether it’s due to time constraints or something else entirely. Because I feel like we all have our own biases when it comes to the news with what we believe is true even when we try and look at things objectively.

    Either way, I enjoyed reading your post though I’m personally not a fan of our current President. He reminds me too much of a bully and I can’t get behind people like that.

  33. Thank you for addressing this; you’re a brave young woman. 😉 Twitter is a great source of information. There are many individuals and independent investigative journalists who use open source documents and information and have known much more than what is in this ridiculous Mueller report for a very long time (start with TheLastRefuge2 [who also has a website The Conservative Treehouse] and TracyBeanz and you’ll find others from there). Our “journalists” in the mainstream media have much explaining to do for not also doing this, but they have their biases and agendas. The Federalist is a good publication. I don’t trust NRO; their anti-Trump bias has blinded them, except Andrew McCarthy is knowledgeable about Spygate and Alexandra DeSanctis has great coverage of the abortion issue.
