When interracial marriage became a hot topic on the tip of Christian nationalists' tongues this week, the controversial pastor Joel Webbon chimed in — sparking even more debate.“Interracial marriage, while biblically permissible, generally/ordinarily goes against God’s normative design for humanity, nations, and cultures,” Webbon said in a post on X.Dale Partridge, another minister, responded to Webbon’s post, writing: “As a Christian man happily married to a Mexican/Spanish/American woman, I actually agree with Joel Webbon. Interracial marriage is not the ‘ideal.’ Now, like Joel, I do not believe it is sinful, and if providence positions two Christians from different ethnic backgrounds to unite in marriage, it can be a glorious thing (which it has been for us).”=Partridge went on to caveat that interracial marriage “does create a variety of additional hurdles in marriage and family life.”BlazeTV contributor Virgil Walker doesn't quite align with their beliefs, but he also doesn’t feel the need to disparage them for it.“There’s a branch, there’s a segment of the Christian nationalist movement that I’ve warned about years ago, that I wrote about, regarding this ethnocentrism that would take shape and take place. And there’s nothing wrong with ethnic centrality, with thinking about your ethnicity,” Walker tells BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”“The problem is when we start pushing these morality ideas, these moral issues, these moral ideas, into the context of ethnicity to say, ‘Hey, marriage outside of this is not ideal and here’s why.’ You’re adding to what God has already stated about who we are, about how we’re to function, and even about who we’re to marry,” Walker explains.“What these men are doing are they’re signaling where they stand, and I’m not mad at that. I’m not angry at that at all. I think it’s actually a good thing for them to signal where they stand for those who operate and agree with them to align themselves with that kind of thinking,” he continues.“I do think it is incumbent upon us, as ministers of the gospel, as Christians, as thought leaders, to be clear about what the Bible actually says and not allow anyone to say what God has not said,” he adds.Want more from Jason Whitlock?To enjoy more fearless conversations at the crossroads of culture, faith, sports, and comedy with Jason Whitlock, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

President Donald Trump issued a warning to the Islamic regime of Iran over lethal state brutality against dissidents, and some say that signs are indicating a strike is imminent.The totalitarian regime has been cracking down on massive political protests from the Iranian people against the despotic state as well as devastating shortages of water and other basic living supplies, reports claim.'May the Death to America crowd meet their 72 virgins tonight.' The president warned on New Year's Day that the U.S. would respond to Iran killing peaceful protesters."If Iran shots [sic] and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go," he wrote on social media.Since then, hundreds of protesters have reportedly been killed by the regime, with some estimates reaching over a thousand.On Wednesday, some social media sleuths speculated that the U.S. is getting ready for an attack."The U.S. Air Force’s evacuation of military aircraft from Al Udeid Air Base has begun in preparation of strikes against Iran, with a steady stream of at least 6 KC-135R/T 'Stratotanker' Aerial-Refueling Tankers seen departing the base in Qatar," said one account that posted a screenshot of the military maneuvers from Qatar.The Washington Post noted that a similar evacuation preceded U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear capabilities in June.Some have found users risking large amounts of money on betting markets that the U.S. will strike Iran soon, suspecting that these are people with insider knowledge about the administration's intentions.Others pointed to mass outages at Verizon Wireless as another sign of a possible attack. The outage-tracking site Downdetector documented more than 113,000 reports of customers losing service at the height of the outages at about 9 a.m. ET. "We are aware of an issue impacting wireless voice and data services for some customers," said a Verizon spokesperson to the New York Post. "Our engineers are engaged and are working to identify and solve the issue quickly. We understand how important reliable connectivity is and apologize for the inconvenience."The celebrated Pentagon Pizza Index, however, indicated there was only a small bump in the chances of a U.S. strike. The index measures the activity of pizza delivery locations around the Pentagon based on previous strikes that were accompanied by a measurable increase in pizzas being delivered to the headquarters of the U.S. military.On Wednesday afternoon, the index showed high levels of orders at two pizzerias but lower levels at four others in the area.Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) reiterated the U.S. threat to Iran in his own statement on social media on Saturday."If the Iranian people overthrow the Ayatollah, America — and the entire world — will be much, much safer," wrote Cruz. "May the Death to America crowd meet their 72 virgins tonight."RELATED: Man arrested for driving U-Haul into Iran protesters in Los Angeles was released on $0 bail Major General Mohammad Pakpour, the leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, reportedly warned that the nation was ready and eager to respond to any provocation from the U.S. as well as Israel."With reliance on Almighty God, under the leadership of the Leader, and through the sacred unity of the Iranian nation, we will nullify the schemes of the rulers in the White House and Tel Aviv against a 'Strong Iran,'" Pakpour said, according to Press TV.Like Blaze News?

Bill Maher's first-ever Golden Globes nomination didn't exactly leave him giddy with excitement. Days before losing to fellow Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television nominee Ricky Gervais, the caustic comic seemed resigned to defeat. 'I speak freely, and this woke town f**king hates that.'Speech impedimentIn a conversation with his "Club Random" podcast guest Joel Edgerton, Maher said he knows exactly why he's always ignored when Hollywood hands out the hardware. "Obviously, it's something I said. Well, it's everything I said." "I speak freely, and this woke town f**king hates that," Maher continued. "And that's OK. I've made my peace with that. So I know how this goes."Maher noted that he's never won an Emmy either, despite a combined 33 nominations (a figure Variety later corrected to 41) for his shows "Politically Incorrect" and "Club Random."Thanks to the Globes' new Best Podcast category, the pot-addled pundit has a whole new way to get snubbed. This year the award went to "Good Hang with Amy Poehler." "Club Random" failed to secure a nomination.RELATED: Democrat INFIGHTING: Progressives blast congresswoman for opposing leftist’s apparent rigged succession scam I'm with stupidAs Maher's rant built up steam, he rejected Edgerton's gentle suggestion that as "two white dudes," they should be careful with their critiques."The epicenter of woke stupid is this town. It really is," Maher said, referring to accusations of "cultural appropriation," which he said has been levied against everyone from Elvis Presley to Bradley Cooper."[Elvis] sang the way he sang. He grew up in the South. I mean, the cultures mixed, you know. I don't — I think it's just pointless to hate him for it," Maher said.RELATED: Socialism 'will f**k you': Bill Maher warns Democrats the radical left is leading party to ruin Photo by Kevork Djansezian/CBS via Getty Images Nose woesAs for Cooper, Maher mocked those who accused him of "Jewface" for wearing a prosthetic nose to play Leonard Bernstein."The 'Jew nose' they called it. ... I mean, 'Jew nose?' Do they even know how stupid they sound?" Maher asked."I mean, to use that word. They made up this horrible word and then were like, 'Oh, but we're the good people. We're saying, whoa, no Jew nose.' It's just so silly."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
