REAL CHRISTIAN INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM: THE WISE WOLF MANIFESTO
Who We Are, What We Stand For, and Why We Will Not Compromise
We are The Wise Wolf News Team And It Is Time You Understood What That MeansâŠ
WE FOLLOW JESUS, NOT POLITICIANS:
We follow Yeshua ben Yosef. The carpenter who hung out with prostitutes, tax collectors, and outcasts. The one who said âBlessed are the poorâ and âWoe to you who are rich.â The one who flipped tables when religious leaders turned His Fatherâs house into a marketplace. The one who told us to love our enemies, care for the sick, feed the hungry, and visit prisoners.
Not âMillionaire Jesusâ. That false idol who apparently loves guns, hates immigrants, worships wealth, and thinks the gospel is about personal prosperity and political power. Thatâs not Jesus. Thatâs Santa Claus with a cross. Thatâs a golden calf wrapped in a flag.
We follow the Sermon on the Mount, not the gospel of nationalism. We follow the Christ who said âYou cannot serve both God and money,â not the one invented by televangelists in three-thousand-dollar suits flying private jets.
WE ARE NON-PARTISAN, BUT WE ARE NOT NEUTRAL
The Wise Wolf is a non-partisan Christian publication. We donât pledge allegiance to Democrats or Republicans. We pledge allegiance to truth, justice, and the teachings of Christ.
But letâs be real about what that means.
Two of our editors are lifelong conservative Republicans. Not MAGA Republicans. Not whatever the GOP has morphed into. Real Republicans. The kind that existed when Lincoln freed the slaves. The kind that believed in fiscal responsibility, limited government power, personal freedom, and keeping billionaires and monopolies from destroying the country.
The kind that stormed the beaches of Normandy screaming hellfire and brimstone at fascists who wanted to enslave the world.
That Republican Party is dead. It was murdered by the very forces it was supposed to oppose: unchecked corporate power, billionaire oligarchs, and authoritarian demagogues wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.
We donât care if youâre Republican, Democrat, Independent, or politically homeless. We care if youâre willing to follow Jesus instead of political idols.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We Believe in Helping the Poor. Period.
No qualifications. No means-testing their worthiness. No hand-wringing about âfree handoutsâ or âpersonal responsibility.â
Jesus didnât say âFeed the hungry, but only if theyâre trying hard enough.â He said FEED THE HUNGRY. Full stop. End of discussion.
If you think cutting SNAP benefits and starving 16 million American children is good policy, you are not welcome here. Cancel your subscription. Leave. We donât want your money, and we donât want your excuses.
You want to talk about work requirements and âwelfare dependencyâ? Take it somewhere else. Weâre too busy actually following Christâs commands to entertain your Ayn Rand fan fiction disguised as Christianity.
We Believe in Truth Over Comfort
We will tell you hard truths. We will show you receipts. We will cite our sources. We will follow the money. We will call out hypocrisy, corruption, and evil, especially when itâs hiding behind the cross.
We are anti-Freemasonry. We are anti-witchcraft. We are against ANY secret society, occult practice, or shadow organization that seeks power through deception. We believe in transparency, accountability, and the light of truth.
If you want a publication that makes you feel good and never challenges you, leave now. There are ten thousand mega-churches and âChristianâ media outlets that will tell you exactly what you want to hear while avoiding anything that might convict you. We are not that.
We Believe in Freedom. Real Freedom.
Our ancestors fought and died so we could be free. Free to think. Free to speak. Free to question authority. Free to worship God without the state telling us how.
We will not hand that freedom over to billionaires in gilded towers. We will not accept a digital ID police state. We will not bow to corporate oligarchs who think they can buy our government and turn it into their personal piggy bank.
We will not trade our liberty for the false promise of security, prosperity, or âmaking America great again.â
If thereâs another civil war, and God help us there might be, we will be on the front lines. Not fighting for red or blue, but fighting for freedom, justice, and the inherent dignity of every human being regardless of race, class, gender, or creed.
We Believe in Unity, Not Division
The color of your skin doesnât determine your worth. Your bank account doesnât determine your value. Your political party doesnât determine your righteousness.
What determines your worth is that you are made in the image of God. Thatâs it. Thatâs the whole thing.
We stand with the poor against the rich who exploit them. We stand with the powerless against the powerful who oppress them. We stand with the truth-tellers against the liars who manipulate them.
We donât care if youâre Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Native, or anything else. We donât care if youâre male, female, young, old, educated, or working-class. If you love truth and follow Jesus, youâre our brother or sister.
We Believe in Education, Science, and Reason
Faith is not the absence of thought. Faith is trust in God WHILE you think, question, and seek truth.
We are pro-education. We believe God gave us brains and expects us to use them.
We are pro-science. We believe studying Godâs creation is an act of worship.
We are pro-reason. We believe Christianity stands up to scrutiny, questions, and intellectual rigor.
If your faith requires you to be stupid, uneducated, or willfully ignorant, thatâs not faith. Thatâs a cult.
WHAT WE WILL NOT TOLERATE
Do not call us socialists. Caring for the poor is not socialism. Itâs Christianity. Jesusâs actual words. If you think the Sermon on the Mount is socialist propaganda, you donât know Jesus.
Do not call us Democrats. Weâre not. Half our editorial team are Republicans. But we will absolutely call out the modern GOP for abandoning every principle it once claimed to hold.
Do not call us fascists. We oppose authoritarianism in all its forms, whether it comes wrapped in a hammer and sickle or draped in a flag carrying a cross.
Do not call us unAmerican. We love this country enough to tell it the truth. Real patriotism is loving your country enough to call out its sins and fight to make it better.
Do not come here expecting us to worship your political party, your candidate, or your ideology. We worship God. Everything else is subject to scrutiny.
OUR MISSION
We are trying to wake people up.
Wake them up to how billionaires bought our democracy. Wake them up to how movements get hijacked and manipulated. Wake them up to how Christian language gets weaponized to justify un-Christian policies. Wake them up to how good people get duped into supporting evil.
We do this because we love you. We love the church. We love this country. We love the truth.
And we cannot stand by silently while wolves in sheepâs clothing devour the flock.
THE BOTTOM LINE
This all comes down to one simple question that should guide every Christianâs life:
WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?
Not âWhat would my political party do?â Not âWhat would benefit me financially?â Not âWhat would my favorite pundit say?â
What would JESUS do?
Would Jesus cut food stamps to hungry children to fund tax cuts for billionaires?
Would Jesus worship wealth and power?
Would Jesus tell the poor they deserve their suffering?
Would Jesus build walls to keep out refugees?
Would Jesus call for violence against His enemies?
You know the answer. Youâve always known the answer.
The question is: Are you brave enough to follow Him even when it costs you something? Even when it means admitting you were wrong? Even when your friends, your family, your political tribe abandons you for it?
IF YOUâRE STILL HERE
If youâve read this far and youâre still here, welcome. Youâre our kind of person.
You might not agree with everything we say. Thatâs fine. We donât demand agreement. We demand honesty, integrity, and a genuine desire to follow Jesus even when itâs hard.
If youâre tired of being lied to, youâre in the right place.
If youâre exhausted from defending the indefensible, youâre in the right place.
If youâre ready to follow Jesus instead of political idols, youâre in the right place.
Weâre not here to make you comfortable. Weâre here to tell the truth. Weâre here to challenge you. Weâre here to equip you to think critically, love radically, and stand firm when the world tells you to compromise.
We are The Wise Wolf. We follow the Good Shepherd. And we will not be silenced.
If that offends you? Good. Jesus offended people too. Thatâs how you know youâre doing it right.
Welcome to the pack.
âBehold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.â - Matthew 10:16






If you weren't my grandpa's age jay I'd probably date you after reading this... wow.
We need a whole nation of table flippers.
