  • The peril of dehumanizing rhetoric

    American Thinker ^ | 26 Apr, 2026 | Kevin Finn
    While the left is politely voicing shock about last night’s attempted assassination, their rhetoric for the past ten years has inevitably encouraged the crazies. Prominent voices on the left have been branding their opponents as Nazis, “literally Hitler,” pedophiles, or “a threat to democracy.” This inflammatory language dehumanizes entire groups, paints targets on people’s backs, erodes civil discourse, and creates a climate where violence is viewed as justifiable. When rhetoric escalates to open calls for harm, the consequences are deadly: attempted assassinations of President Trump, the 2017 shooting of Republican congressmen at baseball practice, the murder of Charlie Kirk, and...

    When I was growing up, the Pres and VP were not in the same room together in case of assassination attempt. Then it seemed to become okay, as long as the Speaker of the House wasn't there at the same time as the Pres & VP.. Last night, all 3 were in the same room. That would have left a 92 yr old Sen. Grassley in charge. I wonder if he would have taken the oath & quickly passed the baton to Rubio, who is next in line? What ever happened to the line of succession rules (protocol) of the...

    theatlantic ^ | Apr 26 | By Russell Berman
    Rep. Thomas Massie, the renegade Kentucky Republican who fiercely guards his political independence, doesn’t love being on President Trump’s bad side. He would prefer not to have the president’s allies spend millions to defeat him in a primary. In fact, if Massie had his way, he’d be working for Trump right now. In his telling, in the weeks after the 2024 presidential election, the two men talked about Massie, a farmer who champions raw milk, becoming Trump’s agriculture secretary. Massie had formally endorsed Trump late in the campaign, offering to help him win over libertarians who might be tempted to...

    CBN.com - Addison Adamu grew up in a strict Muslim family in Ghana. “We were taught and trained that once born a Muslim, you are always a Muslim,” remembers Addison. “I used to follow my father to the mosque five times a day.”Addison never seriously questioned the rituals of his family’s faith until a friend at school showed him a Bible.“I didn’t want to read the Bible because if I’m caught, it will be another story,” says Addison. “It’s like the highest degree of crime to convert from Islam to Christianity. He told me that God is love. It’s not...

    Donald and Melania Trump entered the hall at 8:16 to cheers and applause. “Hail to the Chief” was followed by presentation of the colors and the National Anthem. We had a brief introduction from Weijia Jiang, this year’s president of the White House Correspondents Association, followed by dinner. Two questions hovered in the background. One, how would President Trump treat the press? And two, would he, as had many presidents in the past at this event, treat the audience to a little self-deprecating humor? “Donald Trump” and “self-deprecation” are not words you often hear together, but who knows? The President...

    You know that feeling when you scroll through your phone contacts and realize half the numbers belong to people you haven’t spoken to in years? Last week, I did exactly that while looking for an old colleague’s number. What struck me wasn’t just the silence between us – it was remembering how we used to grab lunch together three times a week, share weekend barbecue invites, and text about everything from work drama to our kids’ soccer games. Then I retired at 62, and within six months, we’d become strangers That’s when it hit me: we weren’t really friends. We...

    The suspect in the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting has been identified as a California teacher. Cole Tomas Allen, 31, from Torrance, California is the alleged shooter who opened fire at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night. The educator from the Los Angeles area faces firearms and assault charges after he allegedly breached a security checkpoint and exchanged gunfire with law enforcement. Police revealed the suspect had a number of weapons on him including a shotgun, handgun and multiple knives. President Trump shared a stunning image shortly after the shooting, showing the suspect shirtless and lying face down on the...

    Daily Readings from the USCCB“When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they recognize his voice. But they will not follow a stranger; they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers.” John 10:4–5Young children are often frightened by strangers. Infants, for example, form a strong bond with their mothers who feed them, hold them close, talk to them, and lavish love upon them. It often happens that when other family members, such as grandparents or even the father, attempt to hold the...
  • Paying the Price of Righteousness - Evangelical Caucus/Devotional

    Gracetoyou.org ^ | John MacArthur, Grace Community Church
    "Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness" (Matt. 5:10). There is a price to pay for being a Kingdom citizen. Unlike many today who try to make the gospel palatable for reluctant sinners, Jesus made it clear that following Him had its price. Rather than acceptance, fame, prestige, and prosperity, you can expect rejection and persecution. That's not a popular approach to evangelism, but it's honest. Also it insures that no one will try to enter the kingdom on the wrong basis. Jesus wanted His hearers to count the cost of discipleship. He knew that...

    A man taken into custody after gunfire rang out at the White House Correspondents’ Assn. dinner on Saturday was identified by law enforcement sources as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen, of Torrance. Allen was first identified by the Associated Press, which cited unnamed law enforcement sources. Another official not authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing investigation told The Times that Allen was the suspect and that authorities were in the process of obtaining warrants to search addresses associated with him in Torrance. U.S. Atty. for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro says the suspect is being charged with two counts...

    Dan Blaustein-Rejto is the director of food and agriculture at the Breakthrough Institute. For decades, farmers have relied on glyphosate — the active ingredient in Roundup and the most widely used herbicide in the United States — to protect their crops. But despite evidence that the herbicide is safer than alternatives, a lawsuit cheered on by the Make America Healthy Again movement could curtail access to it. If successful, the effort would leave farmers and the environment worse off.On Monday, the Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in Monsanto Company v. Durnell.

    Ukraine is commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster on Sunday amid lingering fears that Russia's 4-year-old war could spark a repeat of the world's worst nuclear disaster. "The Chernobyl disaster was the result of a reactor experiment ordered ⁠by Moscow, in violation of safety protocols, and followed by lies and cover-ups," Ukraine's foreign ministry said in a ⁠statement. "To this day, the world has to face consequences brought by a totalitarian system that subordinated truth and science to ideology and political power." Millions were exposed to radiation, hundreds ⁠of thousands forced to flee, and wide swaths of...

Jack of All Languages explores the surprising linguistic links between ancient Indo-Aryan terms found in Syrian horse training manuals and early Sanskrit. By analyzing archaeological tablets and royal treaties, this investigation sheds light on how a prestige language influenced elite cultures in the Middle East centuries before the oldest known Vedic texts were composed.
