My dear friends, the greatest Victory in all of FOREVER was wrought when Jesus Christ, the Messiah of Israel, Almighty God's PERFECT ETERNAL Son, our PERFECT Lamb, and propitiation, rose victorious from Death's inescapable prison hold and dealt Death its fatal death blow (Psalm 110:1, Phil 2:6-11, Heb. 1:2-3, 2:14-15, Heb. 7, Rev. 1:17-18, Rev. 5)! The power of Death has been crushed (Rev. 1:17-18)! The god of this world has been crushed (John 16:11, Rev. 20:10)! and ALL who place their trust in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior WILL find complete deliverance from sin's bondage and fatal wound...

As they battle a pandemic that has no regard for borders, the leaders of many of the world’s largest economies are in the thrall of unabashedly nationalist principles, undermining collective efforts to tame the novel coronavirus. The United States, an unrivaled scientific power, is led by a president who openly scoffs at international cooperation while pursuing a global trade war. India, which produces staggering amounts of drugs, is ruled by a Hindu nationalist who has ratcheted up confrontation with neighbors. China, a dominant source of protective gear and medicines, is bent on a mission to restore its former imperial glory....

What seems like many pandemic moons ago, my liberal son called me on the night of Super Tuesday to express his surprise. Somehow, he pondered, Joe Biden — all but left for dead after the three initial Democrat primaries — had miraculously been resurrected. Once again, the old veep was astride his party's donkey as its "presumptive" nominee. But Sleepy Joe was not among those registering surprise over his political comeback, except perhaps that he wasn't expecting it until Super Thursday. Indeed, he looked plenty smug as he mounted the victory dais and introduced his sister as his wife. The...

WASHINGTON - By the time President Donald Trump first spoke publicly about the coronavirus, it may already have been too late. Interviewed at Davos, a gathering of global elites in the Swiss Alps, the president on Jan. 22 played down the threat posed by the respiratory virus from China, which had just reached American shores in the form of a solitary patient in Washington state. “We have it totally under control,” Trump said on CNBC. “It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.” In the 11 weeks since that...

The Army of Northern Virginia passes into the History of our Country. From an account by General Joshua Chamberlain "The arrangement of the soldiery was as follows: The Third Brigade on one side of the street in line of battle; the Second, known as Gregory's, in the rear, and across the street, facing the Third; the First Brigade also in line of battle. "Having thus formed, the brigades standing at 'order arms,' the head of the Confederate column, General Gordon in command, and the old 'Stonewall' Jackson Brigade leading, started down into the valley which lay between us, and approached...

The Burning Man 2020 festival has been canceled -- the latest large-scale event to fall victim to the coronavirus pandemic. Organizers of the Burning Man Project, the group that brings the annual arts and music festival to northern Nevada's Black Rock Desert, made the announcement on its website and social media accounts. The week-long event was scheduled for Aug. 30 through Sept. 7. It will now move online only, organizers said.

It’s just the flu, bro. Happy Easter! Something different today - a video of a confrontation between a jogger and police on a Corona- restricted California beach. Apologies to those who don’t have twitter - you can read the spoiler below. Turn the SOUND ON. https://twitter.com/iamisjp/status/1248697625991397376?s=12 : : : SPOILER The slow jogger is approached by police to the tune of the pink panther. The jogger, not wanting to get arrested, sprints away from police to the tune of Rocky. Is this jogger the Flubros’ Rosa Parks? Our Tienmneman Square guy who stood in front of a tank? Maybe I...

LEWES, Del.- The Lewes Police Department is using new technology in this new normal. The police department has a drone that flies over bike trails and the beach. If it sees people walking too close, it broadcasts a message reminding them of the state of emergency and social distancing guidelines.[snip]

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a name frequently floated as a potential running mate for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, has extended her stay-at-home order in response to the coronavirus pandemic to include a ban on individuals traveling between two residences. Starting Saturday, Michigan residents will no longer be permitted to visit friends or relatives or their second homes or vacation rentals inside the state, with few exceptions such as caring for a relative, an elderly friend or pet, visiting a nursing home, attending a funeral with no more than 10 people, or complying with a court order related to...

The incident happened late in the evening when the hiker encountered a sow with a cub at close range according to Fish Wildlife and Parks. The hiker shot the grizzly with a pistol after it attacked and bit him in the thigh. After the injured bear moved off, the hiker walked back to his house in Dupuyer. FWP says the grizzly’s behavior indicated it attacked to protect her cub from a perceived threat posed by the hiker. The injured grizzly was found the next morning and euthanized by FWP personnel.

Democrat governors and mayors are starting to become drunk on power. – In Kentucky, the Democrat governor has police recording the license plate numbers of church parishioners and issuing them $500 tickets for being parked in the church parking lot. In Philadelphia, the Democrat governor has police arrest a man for attempting to board an empty subway car without his mask on. In California, the Democrat governor has police arresting a lone Santa Monica man on an empty beach for the crime of attempting to swim in the ocean. In New York City, the Democrat Mayor not only orders churches...

THIS is the sinister truth behind Wuhan's research labs - Wuhan Institute of Virology and the Wuhan Centre for Disease Control - which created man-made coronaviruses and where scientists were sprayed with bad blood. Last week, it emerged that the British government is "no longer discounting" theories Covid-19 was leaked from a laboratory in China - and the killer bug's former epicentre has two obvious candidates. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11340023/wuhan-labs-coronavirus-outbreak/

Mr. President, I'm one of your biggest supporters. Few have worked harder or longer to elect, support and reelect you. Every day I praise you in speaking to my large and growing audience on national radio and TV, and through my nationally syndicated newspaper column. My audience loves and supports you. We have your back! Do you know who doesn't have your back? The Ivy League eggheads; the Washington, D.C., swamp-dwelling politicians and bureaucrats; and the deep-state doctors surrounding you. No one elected Dr. Anthony Fauci president. No one elected Dr. Deborah Birx, Surgeon General Jerome Adams or hapless...

A Chinese scientist who is the one of the world's leading experts on coronaviruses was 'muzzled' after unravelling the genetic composition of the new disease, which is crucial for developing diagnostic tests and vaccines. The revelation will fuel fresh concerns over China's cover-up of the pandemic after it erupted in the city of Wuhan. Critics argue that Communist Party chiefs frustrated efforts to contain the outbreak before it exploded around the world. At the centre of the new claims is Shi Zhengli, known as China's 'Bat Woman' after years spent on difficult virus-hunting expeditions in dank caves that have led...
