How has the computer age aided or hindered religion?

You can use search engines and search terms to locate biblical passages on any subject you’re looking for, rather than relying on the encyclopedic memory of ol’ Uncle Pete down the road. That’s got to be a positive.

On the other hand, Democrats will definitely put you on a terrorist watch list if you do.

Zohran Mamdani backs down on cornerstone campaign promise of free NYC buses
NY Post | 4/08/26 | Emily Crane, Craig McCarthy

Mayor Zohran Mamdani conceded he won’t be able to deliver his promise of free buses this year — making a U-turn on one of the cornerstones of his campaign.

Mamdani’s highly-touted demands for free MTA buses have fallen by the wayside in both state and city budget proposals. …

Still, he insisted he was still “absolutely committed to making buses fast and free” — eventually.

He already pussed out on his free grocery stores.

And free child care:

NYC Mayor Mamdani: Uh, Never Mind That Property Tax Hike
Hotair | 03/25/2026 | John Sexton

In January, Mamdani got a big win when he and Hochul publicly committed to a plan for more free child care statewide.

… But creating one new unfunded mandate wasn’t enough for Mamdani. He continued to push for more taxes statewide. His plan for doing this was to threaten a massive property tax hike in the city if Gov. Hochul refused to raise taxes. So in mid-February that’s what he threatened to do.

… Suddenly, all of the would-be socialists who voted this guy into office to raise taxes on other people realized the money for all of his big plans wasn’t going to come from “the rich,” it was going to come from them. And just like that, they decided it was a terrible idea. The backlash was so fierce that Mamdani has now all but abandoned his threat.

Democrat Candidate Calls For Banning MAGA From Internet As ‘Punishment’ For Trump Votes
The Daily Caller | April 7, 2026 | Harold Hutchison

A Democratic candidate for a seat in the Georgia House of Representatives said supporters of President Donald Trump should not be allowed to post anything online for four years.

Suzanna Karatassos is running for a Georgia House seat currently held by Republican state Rep. Houston Gaines . . . . Karatassos, who calls herself a “progressive fighter” on her Instagram page, said in a since-deleted video that when Democrats begin “rebuilding” America, Trump supporters should face “punishment” for their votes.

“When this is all over and Trump’s gone and Democrats are back in charge and we’re rebuilding everything, the punishment for MAGA for voting for Trump three times needs to be they remove their internet access for four years,” Karatassos said. “That they cannot post videos or comments on social media for four straight years, so that none of us are subjected to their lies and misinformation while we are rebuilding the chaos that they caused the whole world and America gets to be without their BS online for 4 straight years.”

“Can we all agree to this?” she concluded in the video, which was shared on social media by other users after the candidate deleted the original.

Liberal Group Warns That Trump Could Have Two More Supreme Court Picks
The New York Times | April 3, 2026 | Reid Epstein

For now, none of the nine Supreme Court justices have announced plans to retire . . .

That isn’t stopping Demand Justice from preparing a multimillion-dollar effort to oppose potential Trump Supreme Court appointees before they happen — with a warning that Mr. Trump could be replacing two justices this year.

…

Josh Orton, the president of Demand Justice, said the project would cost $3 million to start and $15 million more if vacancies occurred and Mr. Trump nominated a successor to the court.

Either the $18 million would be ineffective, or it would be used to bribe senators effectively.
