The Garrett Ashley Mullet Show

Casey DeSantis starred in a heartwarming campaign ad during the run-up to the Florida governor’s race several weeks ago, and it really was an excellent thing. There's just something to the look in her eyes, and the expression on her face, that seems very genuinely admiring of her husband, Ron DeSantis, as she describes how she knows him as her husband, and the father of their children. And so I sa...

Trump announces he’s running for president again in 2024, pointing out the economy was good and strong for everyone when he was in the White House. There was also peace through strength then, despite predictions we'd have nuclear war on his watch. Rivals and enemies abroad were kept in check. He kept his promises, and that made America strong, free, and glorious. Now he promises we will be a great...

Agur son of Jakeh, described in Proverbs 30 as simply "the oracle," says there are three or four things that really blow his mind.  "Three things are too wonderful for me; four I do not understand: the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a virgin." In watching The Joe Rogan Experience #1895 - Matt Walsh , it...

The Affair of the Sausages in 1522 was the event that launched the Protestant Reformation in Zurich, Switzerland, when Huldrych Zwingli preached a sermon arguing in favor of Christian liberty where eating meat during Lent was concerned. This has me thinking Reformation Day needs to emphasize more the eating of meat in celebration. Drinking beer would also be appropriate, since Luther's wife was a...

From what I’m reading, Republican control of the U.S. Senate may be decided in the Georgia run-off next month between incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock and his Republican challenger, Herschel Walker. Curious to know more about how that could go, either way, I watched the debate between Warnock and Walker, and was struck by one exchange in particular. Warnock, who pastors at Ebeneezer Baptist Chur...

For the past several months leading up to the 2022 midterm election here in the U.S., a red wave has been predicted. Now, the day after Election Day, the actual results are looking rather underwhelming. Though we're told it may take days or weeks for final counts, the initial press is that Republicans may have to settle for retaking the U.S. House of Representatives. Republicans were banking on hi...

It seems like the only commercials playing on Amazon Prime and Hulu right now, if they’re not for car insurance or other shows you could watch on those platforms, are pushing HIV meds, contraceptives, and heart conditions. Is it just us? Is it just my household? Please tell me America feels other needs besides for pharmaceutical solutions to sexually transmitted diseases, avoiding pregnancy, and n...

Michigan’s largest newspaper fact-checked Stephen Colbert over false attack on Republican candidate for Michigan Governor, Tudor Dixon , according to reporting by Ryan Saavedra for The Daily Wire. Despite Colbert claiming Dixon made up the story, a certain former Democrat voter and candidate from Dearborn has indeed recently left the party in favor of Republicans over concerns about curriculum pro...

Jonathan Leeman, Editorial Director at 9Marks, published an article at that website on October 31st. Titled '“Christian Nationalism” Misrepresents Jesus, So We Should Reject It,' and his piece was subsequently sent to me by JP Chavez, my neighbor two houses down. What do I find in reading it? Only that Leeman argues for dropping the label ‘Christian Nationalism’ on the grounds that many people can...

Yesterday was Reformation Day , and those of you unfamiliar may be interested to take note of some of the visuals of Martin Luther's various diatribes against Rome from five centuries ago. Be warned, several are both shocking and disturbing. Yet, on some level, I note that we forgive the reformer because of what his objections produced in the revival of Christian faith and life by way of Protestan...

'No Shave November' starts this coming Tuesday, which I take to mean we should talk about the science of facial hair. But first, to speak to what's been in the news the past couple of days, let's do a quick recap. According to Commodore Vanderbilt at Not the Bee, GM is suspending advertising on Twitter until it sees the "direction of the platform under their new ownership." As a direct competitor...

The floors in our rental house are getting redone Wednesday, which means everything on the main floor of the house has to be packed up and moved out of the way. Yes, this is disruptive, but not to no purpose. After three years here, and now with Biblical Training Group meeting here on Friday nights every week, we reckon as glad tidings even the moving of furniture, books, fabric, and computers for...

Ben Zeisloft, reporting for The Daily Wire, starts off his October 24th article: “The United States has less than one month’s supply of diesel fuel, according to data from the Energy Information Administration.” This is the lowest level since 2008 even as, by one metric, the four-week average of distillates supplied, demand is the highest it’s been since 2007 Is it just me, or does Joe Biden seem...

Reporting for The Daily Wire October 21, 2022, Charlotte Pence Bond quotes Justin Trudeau at a press conference in Surrey, British Columbia: “We have frozen the market for handguns in this country.” “Canadians have the right to feel safe in their homes, in their schools, and in their places of worship. With handgun violence increasing across Canada, it is our duty to take urgent action to remove t...

In the November issue of First Things Magazine, Evangelicals and Catholics Together , an ecumenical movement for political and social change founded in 1994 by the cosigners Charles Colson and Richard John Neuhaus, has released a statement. Titled 'Fear God, Honor the Emperor,' it represents a fairly robust primer on Christian political philosophy in the 21st century takes shape and is laid out ac...

In ‘Rising Fuel Prices Spark Mass Protests in More Than 90 Countries,’ by Michael Whittaker, The Daily Wire, October 19, we learn that a third of the countries in which street protests about fuel occurred in 2022 no demonstrations of that kind in occurred 2021. Another interesting takeaway is that the United States ranked 13 in a survey of the 44 mostly developed nations in terms of high year-over...

Carl Trueman writes for First Things that romance is dead, and the sexual revolutionaries killed it. Romance depends on virtue and morality, and cannot exist in an environment where these things are abolished and scoffed at. This makes a lot of sense, and it is encouraging to hear a counter to the smear that everyone is obligated to watch a movie about gay men flirting with and seducing one anothe...

First off, we have an entry from a YouTube channel called ‘truly.’ At 10 million subscribers, they are so edgy that they don’t even capitalize their name. But we are presented with James, a young black man who needs to tell us he is straight, yet says at one point that he realized in high school that "it was just easier" to be gay and present as feminine. And by that, he apparently means largely c...

Our Biblical Training Group met again last night, and went through Lecture 2 of ‘A Guide to Christian Theology’ with Gary Breshears; the topic was General Revelation. Of special interest to me was something Breshears pointed out about Psalm 19, and the transition in it from the generic term for God used at the beginning – ‘Elohim’ – to the specific name of God – ‘Yahweh’ – beginning in verse 7, as...

‘What Is a Woman?’ made me both extremely sad and angry for what has been lost, squandered, and even systematically made war against in America and the West over the past century. But Matt Walsh and the folks at The Daily Wire did an excellent job on the documentary, and Walsh comes across as genuine, while they come across as lunatics if they don’t agree that women are real, known, and objective....

Yesterday morning my wife asked why there were so many kids on our street who weren’t in school. The reason was Columbus Day, and we apparently missed it. Of course our kids were home, since we homeschool. But it turns out Columbus Day is still a federal holiday in the U.S., and I’m okay with that.  In light of the fact that Christians are told to think on what is praiseworthy, and given that...

What does the word ‘reconcile’ mean in the context of ‘all things,' when Colossians 1:20 says the fullness of God was pleased to reconcile all things to himself in Christ? For starters, the context indicates they are really and truly things – that is, the impersonal portion of the general Creation of which mankind is only a part. Moreover, 'reconcile' has a certain semantic range which is not so n...

Last night I watched the 1994 film Maverick, starring Mel Gibson, with our youngest son, 8-month-old Andrew. It had been a long time since I'd seen it - long enough to forget precisely how Maverick is not moral in the sense that fine, upstanding Christian folk expect and demand. Yet he is moral in an Old Testament book of Judges sort of way. He admits to being a coward, and is sexually loose. But...

The irony which seems lost on Democrats in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade this past summer is that they are now in the position of being conservatives, after a fashion. Or at least their arguments for why legalized abortion should continue to be the "law of the land" nearly five decades on - these are essentially conservative arguments.  That is, they say we should not...

Maybe it was a factor of exhaustion with everything going on – trying to orchestrate my mother’s rescue from Florida, plus navigating a forthcoming job change – but I have not recorded but one podcast episode since last Wednesday when I found out my mother was in the midst of Hurricane Ian. However, I have just listened to five audiobooks over this past weekend. And now that I am feeling a bit mor...
