Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Philippians 4.8). With incredible acrobatics, Evangelicals, pseudo-Christians that they are, accept, support, sustain, and enable Caligula in his private and public wickedness through such stupid, abstract, extrapolated interpretations as “the Cyrus principle”—about as absurd a theory as was ever invented by the twisted mind of man. It is a certainty that this cockamamie theory is built on far, far less evidence than, say, Darwin’s theory of evolution, which evangelicals so vociferously lambast and reject.
Their resort to such obvious bullshit theories as that of “the Cyrus principle” to support a devil is all the more damning when they need not resort to acrobatics, abstractions, and extrapolations to know who and what the little orange man is. How much theorizing and extrapolation is necessary, for example, to understand and apply Paul’s clear and unambiguous admonition found in Philippians 4.8. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. No, indeed. No need for acrobatics here. No need to extrapolate or theorize. There isn’t a “true,” “honest,” “just,” or “pure” cell in Caligula’s body, perverted brain, or puny heart. There is nothing “lovely” about him, heart or soul. He has never received a “good report” from any honest or virtuous person in his too-long a life. And speaking of “virtue,” well, he, himself, has made it abundantly clear, on camera, on any number of occasions what a bunch of phooey such an antiquated and restricting idea as virtue is to his way of thinking and living. Of course, these psedo-Christians know all of this. It is precisely why they resort to such absurdities as the Cyrus tomfoolery. Such "revelation" is as ridiculous as any they ever complained of among the Mormons--not that the latter are exactly immune from flights of fantastical revelation.

Democrats and the media may be trying to pile the bogus attacks on Trump over the United States' response to the coronavirus epidemic, but Trump should be getting credit for acting decisively and taking action that likely saved lives, even though it was a politically unpopular move to make. New York Times science reporter Donald G. McNeil Jr. noted that the Trump administration took "aggressive measures like barring entry to non-Americans who were recently in China and advising Americans not to go to China or South Korea," and that this strategy worked, despite the fact that the World Health Organization officially opposes travel and trade restrictions, and "reiterated that even as it declared the epidemic a global emergency on Jan. 30."
