The Garrett Ashley Mullet Show

As another year draws to a close, and my household ponders afresh our habit of reviewing the major events of the last 12 months before considering our plans for the next, it occurs to me that planning boils down in the end to a series of Yes and No answers to various and multitudinous questions. Andrew Matthias, for instance. Lauren's and my seventh son, and eighth child, was born to us in the fir...

After several weeks of intensive enjoyment from when it was first released in February of last year, my sons and I mostly gave up on Valheim , the best game of 2021 according to PC Gamer, after having some issues with the reliability of our private server. With a few brief, scattered exceptions, we haven't played it since.  Yesterday, we returned, to the wonderful world of Viking survival, to...

In the lead-in to the part of Proverbs 31 concerning the woman who fears the Lord, not as often remarked on in my experience is how the mother of King Lemuel asks him three times in a row what he is doing. Always in Scripture, when you see a word or phrase repeated two times in a row, it's veracity and importance are being greatly emphasized. If you see it repeated thrice, you best listen up and p...

Lauren asked for a handgun this Christmas. Initially, we eyed the Kimber Micro 9, and the Sig P365, and both made a favorable impression on us, when we looked at the selection Scheels had while out celebrating our 16th anniversary. When it came time to buy, however, in the week before Christmas, I ended up getting her the Springfield Hellcat instead. At 11+1 capacity, the Hellcat holds plenty of r...

'White Christmas,' the title track from the 1953 film by the same name, communicates such a simple sentiment. To my way of thinking, if we would sing it, we have everything else we need to celebrate Christmas. The only thing left is a fresh blanket of snow. But how else might we have a white Christmas?  "Come now, let us reason together, says Yahweh: though your sins are like scarlet, they sh...

- This film critic says there's a problem with white actors playing giant blue aliens because of racism or something – Holly Ash, Not the Bee o Wanting to avoid being as annoying as the folks who see racism under every rock, or around every corner, we won’t spend too much time on this. o But that is to say that this is just plain silly, and we all need to know that. - James Cameron Already Shot ‘A...

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.  Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.  In the same way, let yo...

Historical Context of the Nativity - God’s covenant with Israel o The Promised Land was given to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; the Jews would be Yahweh’s people, and Yahweh would be their God. o However, Israel was disobedient, and worshipped other gods, and did many other wicked things besides, so God then handed Judah and Israel over to their enemies. - Babylonian Captivity o The...

Nursing homes in Montana are closing this year, and I keep hearing about it from Billings Gazette . The latest one in Miles City makes eleven so far in 2022. And presumably the elderly and otherwise incapable of caring for themselves cannot be taken in by family, or else they wouldn't be in nursing homes. Right? Of course right. Don't ask such triggering questions. You should know better. Also, yo...

Standup comedian Yannis Papa says young men should probably marry a Republican woman. And I agree, particularly given his stated reasons regarding the rearing of any children you might have. On a related note, WLWT in Cincinnati reports on after-school 'Satan club' in Ohio public schools. Have I mentioned my book recently?  And This Is Why We Homeschool. By the way, speaking of kids who can't...

For some reason or other, my kids have been singing the 2010 FIFA World Cup song around the house as of late. They say it has something to do with memes. In any event, this fact, regardless its causes, led me to look up the song and listen to it in full.  Shakira's "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" gets its name from Pigeon Cameroonian for "Do It," as well as the host country and continent f...

When I talk about how good it would be if God's Word informed our government on a more meaningful level, it feels as though what certain people are really hearing is the "Right to Jail" guy from Parks and Recreation. Every minor infraction of good morals should be met with jailtime or the death penalty, if I get my way.  Only that's not what I'm arguing for. On the contrary, something along t...

With the cancel culture of recent years, plus the #MeToo movement, plus all the talk of Woke ESG investing, and Chinese-style Social Credit Scores potentially going global, or coming to the U.S., and Big Tech dialing down the democratization of information on behalf of repressive regimes, there is no question that we have some work to do on thinking rightly about reputation.  How important ou...

Kanye West has been kicked off Twitter again for expressing increasingly anti-Jewish, pro-Nazi sentiments. Before that, he stormed off the set of Tim Pool’s podcast, and also answered a question from Alex Jones on his show in a pretty crazy way. This has me thinking. What do we mean by comparing opinions, beliefs, arguments, behavior, and lifestyles to "normal"? What do we mean by that term? At a...

Home prices may soon plunge by 15-20% , and the number of Americans making a habit of concealed carrying handguns doubled between 2015-2019. That is, we are fast entering a circumstance and condition here in the U.S. which sees not just more sin, but also more temptation to sin, as economic trouble combines with social strife to produce conflict and consternation. For instance, we may be tempted t...

Mark David Hall, invited to speak recently to The Institute on Religion & Democracy by Mark Tooley on The "Threat" of Christian Nationalism , takes the position that, as defined by the critics, so-called "Christian nationalism" is largely a bogeyman term designed to shame conservative American Christians into not trying to influence politics and the public debate in the U.S. No one was calling...

Carl Trueman, in his response to David French's recent call for compromise with the Left on The Respect for Marriage Act, and his subsequent further explanation of why his position on gay marriage has evolved like Barrack Obama's, shares an especially astute observation: "It is now clear that orthodox Protestants, specifically evangelicals, do not own the country. Whether they ever did is a matter...

It's Thanksgiving Day in the U.S., and that has me wondering how our attitude toward thanking God for what we have relates to several sundry items which have had my attention the last week or so. First, Paul writes in the New Testament, in his letter to the church at Philippi, that we ought to make our reasonableness conspicuously public. He also tells us not to be anxious. Instead, we should thin...

Klaus Schwab recently delivered a keynote address at the 2022 G20 and B20 shindig in Indonesia on the transition into a multi-polar world, as opposed to the world we've been living in where the United States has been the pre-eminent superpower.  Starting right around the 2:00 mark, Schwab talks about the fundamental restructuring of the world which needs to be embraced to the end of engineering a...
