What makes Babylon Bee not only funny but transcendent is their willingness to target people on their side viciously. President Trump isn’t immune from being made fun of and neither is Chick-Fil-A, the number one “Christian” brand. But this merger of corporate America with Christianity has dissipated over the last few years. After 2012, Chick-Fil-A divested its giving from politically incorrect Christian organizations, instead choosing the least offensive causes.
But this came to a halt in 2019 when Chick-Fil-A decided to end its relationships with Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the nominally Christian, Salvation Army. Instead they redirected funds to Covenant House International, a social justice embracing organization founded by a pedophile. Covenant House also sponsors drag queen story hour, promoting pedophilia. The Babylon Bee went hard on Chick-Fil-A accordingly.
But we later found out Chick-Fil-A donated to the anti-Christian organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center. This eliminates any reasonable doubt that Chick-Fil-A has abandoned its Christian values, while still maintaining the facade with contemporary worship instrumental playing in their stores. During this time, Dan Cathy maintained that the company he manages still believes in its values. Recently, Dan Cathy got down on video to shine the (supposedly) Christian rapper, Lecrae’s shoes, claiming he felt convicted to do it because of racism.
The Babylon Bee published this headline on Juneteenth: Chick-Fil-A Now Open On Sunday But Only For Black People.
Don’t get caught unprepared as things go south. Order a case of five life-saving antibiotics prescribed directly to you by board certified physicians. Use promo code “RUCKER10” for $10 off. Having an emergency supply of antibiotics is crucial before the crap hits the fan.
The Babylon Bee not only upset people who idolize Chick-Fil-A, they went after the biggest idol in our society: the Social Justice Gospel.
The proponents of said gospel voiced their frustrations:
This is terrible.

They are masking racism their racism with bad satire. It’s a common tactic used to provide cover for racist speech. Allows someone to say, “I was just joking” when confronted.

This is what you publish on Juneteenth?

This wasn't funny. Be better.

It’s worth noting that Darling is an ERLC alum.
You were never really funny. Now you are not only not funny, but racist too.

This is what happens when you have an all white staff that gets their sense of humor from Breitbart.

This is disgusting. Not funny at all. Was the writer drunk when they wrote this? Don’t use “satire” as a defense. This is so unhelpful and wrong.
— Clayton King (@Clayton_king) June 19, 2020
And STILL no apology from you.
— Caleb Kaltenbach (@calebwilds) June 20, 2020
This evangelical check mark feels entitled to an apology.
Seth Dillon over at Babylon Bee explained on Twitter:
Woke whites are actually doing this cringeworthy stuff. We’re simply highlighting the absurdity and offensiveness of racial pandering driven by white guilt. It’s the real world behavior this satire is based on — not our critical highlighting of it — that’s tasteless/racist.
This was not an apology as the Babylon Bee has no intentions of taking this article down. The Babylon Bee also posted the video of Cathy’s shoe shine to proved further context, but the shibboleth of the goats was is unmoved.
Satire is supposed to sting. And in this case, the satire both stings and contends for the faith. Well done, Babylon Bee.

American Conservative Movement
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
