Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Character Studies From The Bible Paul (Paul's Letter to The Romans) 13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in...

To win the White House, you must make all four bases in the game of political baseball. The Republican National Committee is trying to win by skipping the bases altogether—a recipe for striking out. Winning the White House in 2016 is so close you can taste it. The problem is, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus and his chummy club of elites have been secretly brooding over what to do if—gasp!—Sen. Ted Cruz or Donald Trump wins the most delegates at this summer’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland. By Priebus' own admission to TIME, as well as insider leaks to the Washington...

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) took a page from his "good friend" Donald Trump on Sunday by taunting his chief competitor about her flagging poll numbers. "Let me talk about polling. As Secretary Clinton well knows, when this campaign began she was 50 points ahead of me," Sanders said at the Democratic debate in South Carolina. "Guess what? In Iowa, New Hampshire, the race is [now] very, very close," Sanders said. In recent weeks, Sanders has seen a surge of support from left-wing Democrats disaffected with Hillary Clinton and the Democratic establishment. The socialist senator is polling ahead of Clinton...

A lot of us complain that our elite betters are ignoring our concerns, but nothing could be further from the truth. They have heard us all right. They have gotten together to come up with a solution to the many problems we have brought to their attention. And that solution is for us to shut up and keep sucking up whatever abuse they choose to heap upon us. It's all about empowering the elite to feel smug. And about sticking us normal with the check. Upset about establishment virtue signaling that requires us to take limitless numbers of Third World...

Pointing to the effects of "horrible" super-PACs, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Sunday said America needs to come up with a solution to keep big money out of politics. "Well, I think you need it, because I think PACs are a horrible thing," Trump said on CNN's "State of the Union" when asked if he would pursue campaign finance reform. The billionaire businessman, who said he is self-financing his campaign, said the wall separating super-PACs and candidates running for public office is illusory. "First of all, everyone's dealing with their PAC. You know, it's supposed to be like this...

Congratulations, catatonic America, Hillary knows you'll be going along just fine in your media-induced stupor, you'll be swallowing your daily dose of Obamacare castor oil when she's in charge! So, Bernie Sanders imagines he can introduce into the debate, the fact that Big Insurance & Big Pharma weren't going to be taken behind the woodshed after all, it was BI & BP who were the ones dragging America out back there, to be paddled black & blue. SANDERS: "We need someone with the guts to stand up the private insurance companies and all of their money, and the pharmaceutical industry....

FAIRFIELD, Conn. - General Electric will leave its mark on this town beyond more than four decades of supplying hundreds of steady, high-paying jobs, and millions of dollars in property tax revenue. But it also leaves residents with many tough questions. The giant industrial conglomerate has made significant donations to local nonprofits, while its employees shop at local businesses and volunteer their time coaching youth sports teams and working at local charities. Workers, raising families near the company's 68-acre campus in the town's Stratfield neighborhood, are active members of civic and community organizations. The company "has always been a part...

When Democratic presidential candidates get together to debate, it really is like watching the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks, as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) once joked.

"A time of trouble and distress" is a description of the Tribulation period (Zeph. 1:14-18). The information below appears to indicate its approach. Economic Collapse Sept. 25, 2014 through Sept. 13, 2015 was a Shemitah year. Jonathan Cahn caused quite a stir when he warned that there could be economic problems as the end of the year approached. Many questioned his theology, but in late June and early July of 2015 China's stock markets lost about 35-40%. A few weeks later (mid-Aug. of 2015), China devalued its currency three days in a row. Less than five months later (early Jan....

During Sunday’s Democratic presidential debate on NBC, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) argued he would be the best candidate of he and his opponent Hillary Clinton to take on Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump.

This has been the most dramatic week in US/Iranian relations since 1979. Last weekend ten US Navy personnel were caught in Iranian waters, as the Pentagon kept changing its story on how they got there. It could have been a disaster for President Obama's big gamble on diplomacy over conflict with Iran. But after several rounds of telephone diplomacy between Secretary of State John Kerry and his Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif, the Iranian leadership - which we are told by the neocons is too irrational to even talk to - did a most rational thing: weighing the costs and...

The controversy surrounding e-cigarettes was previously muted by the promise that, despite their flaws, they do help smokers quit smoking. But now, even that silver lining has been disproven. As per a new study, not only do e-cigarettes not help you kick the habit, they may have the exact opposite effect — as it turns out, e-cigarette smokers are 28 percent less likely to quit than individuals whove never used these devices at all. ~snip

He stressed that Donald Trump was never to be trusted,  for the man operates utterly devoid of principle What happened is the NY attorney I know -and his lawyer sister- had done business with Trump, and in fact had all but won a case for him that resulted in a substantial cash settlement, to which the attorneys where contractually entitled to their % cut once the lawsuit was done. In this particular circumstance, the fee was to be over a million dollars, and it wasn't the first time they had worked with The Donald. So when it all fell...

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee on Thursday urged his Republican presidential rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to go to court to settle questions about whether he is eligible to run for President. Appearing on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" after Fox Business Network's Republican undercard presidential debate, Huckabee said that the Canadian-born Cruz should seek a summary judgment from a court in order to prove that he can serve as commander-in-chief. "I didn't think it was an issue until I started seeing extensive and thoroughly detailed articles from constitutional law professors with strong credibility saying that this is an issue," Huckabee...
