On Aug. 30, 2016, he held the grand opening of Kahr Arms\u2019 Tommy Gun Warehouse showroom-store, the place to go for rifles, pistols, knives and the Brooklyn Smasher steel baseball bat that in an emergency can be used to club an intruder or a deer to death. The grand-opening guest of honor was Eric Trump. \u201cThat came about because God made it happen,\u201d Justin told me. Somebody from the Trump campaign had called him out of the blue and said, \u201cEric wants to come.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So Eric came, and Sean introduced him by saying: \u201cIt\u2019s my opinion that we must elect a president that will protect and expand the right to bear arms. \u2026 I hope we can all agree that Hillary Clinton should never be the president of the United States. \u2026 God bless the U.S.A., and please buy some guns and ammo!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Eric, in an open-collar shirt and dark sports jacket, stood in front of a wall of rifles and next to a U.S. flag. \u201cThis election for every gun owner is a huge thing. It will be the difference between adding to our Second Amendment freedoms or not adding to our Second Amendment freedoms,\u201d he said, then switched to the topic of America hemorrhaging jobs. \u201cWe don\u2019t make anything here anymore. That\u2019s why Justin deserves a tremendous, tremendous round of applause. \u2026 Our government does not make it easy on you, either from a shooting perspective or from a manufacturing perspective.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6804\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6804\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6804\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/GOP-Gun-Control.jpg\" alt=\"GOP Gun Control, by Nancy Ohanian\" width=\"480\" height=\"726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/GOP-Gun-Control.jpg 480w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/GOP-Gun-Control-198x300.jpg 198w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6804\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">GOP Gun Control, by Nancy Ohanian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The elder Moon\u2019s creation,\u00a0the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity, has long illustrated just how strange politics\u2019 bedfellows can be. For many years Moon hemorrhaged many millions sustaining the Washington Times as the conservative\/Republican press organ in the nation\u2019s capital. Throughout much of its existence the paper included many capable journalists, and arguably had better metro coverage than the Washington Post. Those writers not affiliated with the church seemed able to ignore the paper\u2019s bizarre underpinnings. As could the politicians who let its editorial page be their voice, proving once again that the bedrock of Washington psyche survival is compartmentalization. Shrinks do a land-office business in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>The church creations by the Moons continue to illustrate a seamless web of odd bedfellows and distortions, incorporating President Trump, the NRA, the Gun Owners of America, FOX News, and who knows how many tangential players behind the scenes, abetted by bipartisan sellouts. The End of Days figures in.<\/p>\n<p>Just as it has in Middle East horrors, with some evangelicals and Netanyahu confederates manipulating such myths to mutual advantage and\/or ruin. President Trump is viewed by some as an instrument of God. If Trump\u2019s imperfections overwhelm him and he slips up, so what, the fallback position is End Times, so it\u2019s win-win.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile ignore the cruelties to Gaza.
