What’s Ahead for 2026: Polarization
What Ever Happened to Wade Ewart Cox?
Some of you have been following the career of 80 year old Wade Ewart Cox for some time and may wonder what he’s up to these days. We can assure you without any reservations that he is now absolutely a public figure without any doubt.
In 2025, Wade Cox ran for Edin-Monaro for the House of Representatives in Australia for the Trumpets of Patriots — publicizing themselves as being for common sense policies for Australia. Here’s what his party divulged about Mr. Cox:
Mr Cox, a decorated veteran, former local government leader, and Coordinator General of the Christian Churches of God, brings a lifetime of service and leadership to his candidacy.
“Australians are being let down by a government that is out of control and a law unto itself,” Mr Cox said.
“We need strong, common-sense leadership to rebuild our communities and restore our nation’s prosperity.
“Australia needs many of the policies of the Trump Administration which will be effective in bringing Australia back on track,’’ he said.
With experience spanning military service, government, and community advocacy, Mr Cox is committed to policies that protect Australian values and put the nation’s interests first.
We have a video here from Rumble:
Those who frequent this site may remember that we have made posts in the past concerning the illustrious Mr. Cox.
And now to the important part: Just how did Mr. Cox fare in the election?
This is the link for the results.
As you can see in the link, the winner is Kristy McBain of the Labor Party with 43% of the vote. Sadly, Mr. Cox came in at at 5th place with 2.4% of the vote.
This is the profile of the district:
Eden-Monaro covers 31,913 square kilometres in the south-east corner of NSW [New South Wales], lying east of the ACT and extending north to Goulburn. The largest concentration of voters live in the Canberra overflow around Queanbeyan, but the electorate also includes the fishing, holiday and retirement towns of Merimbula, Narooma and Bermagui on the NSW far south coast, the agricultural and forestry districts around Bega and Eden. On the new boundaries, the electorate also includes the major regional centre of Goulburn in the north. The electorate also includes Cooma and the NSW snowfields.
We note that originally in the charter of the Christian Churches of God, the position of Coordinator General ended when the Coordinator reached 70 years of age. It isn’t clear how Wade Cox is still coordinator 10 years past that point. Perhaps something has changed in the charter.
The Christian Churches of God embraces both the Bible and the Koran, with the Koran being the latest (and last) of the Word of God. This poses some interesting… scenarios. If we have this correctly, it embraces a form of Arianism. We have difficulties with this because of Hebrews 2, but some how the CCoG has transcended them.
We end with the observation that often losing is winning. While we admire the spirit of public service, we recognize that it can be demanding and stressful. It is often a sacrifice. With that, we hope those who have reached the age of retirement can enjoy it.
And not be bothered with what the Australian Legal Database has to say about them.
Herbert Armstrong’s Father’s Day
Herbert Armstrong certainly honored his mother — he mentioned her often in sermons — but when it came to his father… not so much.
In fact we can only remember 4 times that Herbert Armstrong’s father came up (in the Autobiography):
- His ancestry and how he pronounced certain words;
- That he worked on furnaces (and apparently Herb worked for him at some point briefly) [and also apparently had some sort of patent];
- Opposition to Herb running off to teach high school even though Herb had never been;
- Helping Herb when he was destitute and how his father managed to be stable and provide for his family [when Herb couldn’t].
That’s about it. Feel free to comment if there are other references.
Reading between the lines, Herbert Armstrong’s father seemed to have innate mechanical and engineering aptitudes that Herb didn’t. If that were true, Herb absolutely could not understand his father at all.
We seem to live in a world where Father’s Day is some twisted joke. Sure, maybe a necktie? Who wears those any more? Cake maybe? Certainly a Hallmark Card? It isn’t as if it’s like Mother’s Day, going out to celebrate, gifts, cards, flowers…. No. Dad’s just there… until he isn’t. Serves some sort of purpose. Walking ATM, we think.
And the Armstrongist Churches of God? Oh, Mother’s Day! Sermons. Sermonettes. Often flowers. Snacks in foyer. Cards. Celebrations. You’d think they were goddesses.
Father’s Day? Might mention it in passing.
Men were the backbone of the church. Well, maybe the backbroken servant slaves to provide work for the Work as well as an inexhaustible supply of filthy lucre. Setups. Take downs. Moving crew. You name it, the men provided the muscle. And the women were secure in telling the men, “You need to take care of me”. In fact, the men needed to take care of everything — without much in the way of appreciation: It’s a man’s job… just do it and be silent. It’s no wonder so many of them just faded away….
And there’s nothing like being a stepfather in your own home.
It’s apparent that Herbert Armstrong didn’t think much of his father. No surprise, he didn’t think much of the men in the church either. To him, Father’s Day was just another Sunday.
Of course, Herbert Armstrong was quite the example of fatherhood himself:
Perhaps you’d like to up your game. To do that, we’re providing a quick overview of the 5 love languages:
Yes, dads, that brain child of Gary Chapman set to improve your relationships, based on who people are and how to communicate with them, inspired by wishful thinking, positing insane ideas that simply don’t work, will get you into lots of trouble because… they aren’t languages, they are transactions:
What could go wrong?
1. Words of Affirmation: If you are interacting with someone who is borderline, you’d better let them know that they are THE only one! If you don’t, they will ruin you. If you feel like you are walking on eggshells, beware.
2. Physical Touch: What? You want to end up in prison?
3. Receiving gifts: The province of gold diggers everywhere — you are the walking ATM.
4. Quality time: You aren’t going to walk away from this… some children are so very very needy.
5. Acts of service: “You have to care for me.” It’s endless. You have to serve. You are the servant, the slave. They want power over you.
There is a cautionary tale of “Acts of Service” supposedly a horror film based on science fiction, but if you watch it and note what the woman is doing, you know very well what it’s really about:
In the end, 4 men are killed, 2 of them FBI agents, and like the man said, “It’s all your fault”. Note the horrifying ending where the son is named after the victim: She’s grooming the son. It’s truly a horror movie.
The love languages are transactional. You are only as good as the last transaction. It’s endless. And that’s especially true if you are a dad.
So you fathers out there… happy Father’s Day. Best case scenario… maybe you’ll have some peace and quiet for one day, but don’t count on it. Look at that: The lawn needs mowing, need to take out the trash, balance what’s left of that laughable budget — be sure to have your will updated: People are waiting. And if you’re in an Armstrongist church, maybe this the day you’ll be on a moving crew. They need the muscle.
