There was a lot of oompah-oompah leading up to yesterday’s solar eclipse. Where I live the moon covered 92 percent of the sun, so our favorite star was a thin crescent and didn’t go completely dark.
Still, a solar eclipse produces a bit of a spooky atmosphere. The world is there, in color, and it’s clearly daylight, but it’s like looking through a screen door. Everything has sort of a gray hue to it.
One of the littles was present along the path of totality and experienced the mid-day darkness.
Some Christians speculated that this solar eclipse finished the “X” across America that was started by the last solar eclipse seven years ago and is a sign of impending judgment for our nation. Scripture does say that one of the purposes of the heavenly bodies is to provide “signs.”
And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years. Genesis 1:14
Of course, this is great fun for skeptics and CHINOs (CHristians In Name Only).
Hostin’s unhinged conspiracy theories may have been the wildest, but they were not the first during the episode. Faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin rhetorically scoffed at the idea that the Friday earthquake in New Jersey was a sign that Jesus was returning, but suggested former President Trump’s gold club had something to do with it:
So, what’s kind of crazy is with the earthquake on Friday and then the eclipse today, people are having all sorts of conspiracies about the end of the world. And then I read online that the earthquake epicenter was actually at Bedminster in New Jersey. Fun fact. So it originated with Trump.
Hostin, a self-proclaimed devout Catholic, laughed about how their studio makeup artist “put on her coat” and “ran down the hallway” during the earthquake saying “Jesus is coming” and “the rapture is here.”
She also bloviated about how it was the first time in 100 years that two different cicada broods were emerging for their mating seasons at the same time.
Apparently, all the pieces were on the table and only Hostin was smart enough to put them together, and “climate change” was the answer. “All those things together would maybe lead one to believe that either climate change exists, or something is really going on,” she proclaimed.
You knew things were bad when Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg were the voices of reason.
“Except earthquakes are not at the mercy of climate change. It’s underground. It can’t,” Behar pushed back. But Hostin wouldn’t listen to reason. “How about the warming of the planet?” she huffed in what she seemingly thought was a checkmate, without evidence of how it would cause earthquakes miles below the earth’s surface.
“No, it happens. And the eclipse, they’ve known about the eclipse coming because eclipses happen and they actually can say when these things are going to happen,” Goldberg argued.
“The View” is the last place to go to get an opinion or news (which are often the same thing with them). But the absolute lack of self-awareness in mocking believers for thinking Jesus is coming and then demonstrating your sheer ignorance of how the earth and the planets work is astonishing, even for “The View.”
The only explanation is that she’s an indoctrinated climate change cultist.
Nobody can be that … um, what’s the word … clueless? Although at this point, given the state of our world, I’m ready to believe that anything is possible.
Except any opinion coming out of the “think tank” called the View!
