Though Spain’s last execution is often misremembered as that of handsome anarchist Salvador Puig Antich in 1974, that milestone actually occurred with the shooting of five anti-Franco terrorists in three different cities on September 27, 1975. It was an ugly coda to an ugly regime and a 40-year history of political killings. Gen. Francisco Franco had the previous year been forced by his failing health to hand over power, raising hopes for a democratic transition. But after surprisingly recovering, Franco surprisingly took back his strongman role — and anti-Franco revolutionary movements that had been biding their time greeted the return...

September 27 2020 Sunday of the Twenty-sixth Week in Ordinary Time Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 136 Reading 1 EZ 18:25-28 Thus says the LORD: You say, "The LORD's way is not fair!" Hear now, house of Israel: Is it my way that is unfair, or rather, are not your ways unfair? When someone virtuous turns away from virtue to commit iniquity, and dies, it is because of the iniquity he committed that he must die. But if he turns from the wickedness he has committed, he does what is right and just, he shall preserve his life; since...

Last year, students at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Virginia, one of the nation’s most prestigious public schools, marked a map hanging in a hallway with their families’ far-flung places of origin: from Seoul to Beijing to Hyderabad. Twenty years ago, 70 percent of TJ students were white; today, 79 percent are minority, most from Asian immigrant families. TJ is a testament to American meritocracy’s melting pot—but last week, Fairfax County Public Schools Superintendent Scott Brabrand announced a plan to reduce the number of Asian students at this selective high school. In a four-hour online...

"With all prayer and petition pray at all times" (Eph. 6:18). Make prayer an ongoing part of your day. As important as prayer is to your Christian life, you might expect Paul to list it as another piece of spiritual armor, but he doesn't. Instead, he makes it all-pervasive by instructing us to pray at all times. That's our spiritual lifeline—the air our spirits breathe. The effectiveness of each piece of armor is directly related to the quality of our prayers. We see the importance of prayer throughout the New Testament. Jesus instructed His disciples to be on the alert...

Well, well, well, will we see this Tuesday night?

[Note: This piece is heavy on video content.] The Democrats are in a real quandary. They spent so much time and energy telegraphing their plans to steal the election via voter fraud after Election Day that the GOP has now geared up to effectively police and challenge those operations. As we have seen this past week, the Department of Justice is already discovering and intercepting those efforts. What happened here is that the Democrats had assumed they would be able to replicate the “vote harvesting” fraud that allowed them to flip 7 Republican congressional seats in California in 2018 all...

Biden made the comment comparing Trump to Goebbels in an interview on MSNBC with Stephanie Ruhle that aired Saturday in which Ruhle served up a softball question on Trump accusing Biden of socialism. Biden said, “He’s sort of like Goebbels. You say the lie long enough, keep repeating it, repeating it, repeating it, it becomes common knowledge, they think.” Biden followed that foul insult by saying Trump is “more Castro than Churchill.” Ruhle tried hard to suppress a smile as Biden was smearing Trump, but finally gave in and flashed a broad grin.

As we have always told you, everything in bible prophecy relates to Israel in general and to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount in particular. Jerusalem in the crown jewel because it is the place where God has placed His Name, so naturally, it is also the place that Satan wants to take for his own. Luke 21 shows us the time when he will indeed get his hands on it for a little while, and the Abraham Accords is what’s going to make all that possible. “But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I...

So now billboards are going up in Canada and in places like Colorado and Minnesota in the United States from a group called ‘One Planet One Child’, a radical Leftist group if there ever was one. Interesting thing, when you go to their About Us section on the web site, the first link you see is for something called ‘You Had Me At Childfree’. Their real agenda comes flooding to the forefront, these people are anti-child not simply one child, as all dictators are. The Liberal Left is always crying about ‘human rights’ and ‘reproductive freedom’, but nothing could be...

Left-wing author Ibram Kendi, author of the book "How to Be An Antiracist," triggered a tsunami of backlash on Saturday after suggesting that Amy Coney Barrett adopted to Haitian children to shield herself from accusations of racism. What did Kendi say? Kendi responded to a purported picture of Barrett with her two adopted Haitian children. The photo, however, was not of Barrett. Some White colonizers "adopted" Black children. They "civilized" these "savage" children in the "superior" ways of White people, while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out...

---SNIP--- I actually consider it a point of personal pride that I’m recognized for being among the first Republicans to reject Donald Trump. It was way back in December 2015. I told NBC’s Chuck Todd that day that I could never support Trump. I said then that he was an embarrassment to the Republican Party and our country. I said he belittles, demeans, and ridicules people who disagree with him, and that I’ve never thought that loud, obnoxious, and simpleminded solutions to complex problems are the kind of qualities we want in a president. I believe that earned me my...

Let me see if I’ve got this right: the party that has spent the past 12 years haranguing everyone about race and “a woman’s right to choose”  is about to embark on the arduous task of disqualifying a woman nominated to the Supreme Court…for choosing life and adopting 2 black children from Haitian orphanages? Yes, it appears I have it exactly right.    It’s both odd and concerning how “free speech” and “tolerance” have devolved in America to the point where only certain viewpoints are deemed worthy of protection and then only if held by the “right” people.  Mixed race...

It’s just the flu, bro. Saw this description of a new political system posted on Twitter by @PlumRemson: “Faucism: A system of public health crony capitalism marked by centralization of authority under a dictatorial bureaucracy subject to stringent pharma industry controls, media suppression of opposition & typically a policy of enforcing definitions of "problem" and "solution".” There are definitely too many Faucists in the US right now. - Fear porn: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/09/26/health/us-coronavirus-saturday/index.html CNN says that experts are warning of a coming surge in Covid cases. This is pure trash. Only way they will get what they want is to make the...

There could not have been a more perfect illustration of the suffocating awfulness of leftist culture than one moment in this year’s Emmy’s award show. “Black-ish” actor Anthony Anderson delivered a painfully unfunny rant about black victimhood and then demanded that a clearly uncomfortable host Jimmy Kimmel shout the name of Marxist terrorist organization Black Lives Matter, “Louder, Jimmy, louder!” Which Kimmel obediently did. This is the same Kimmel who used to host “The Man Show,” a rollicking, politically incorrect display of mock-macho goofiness featuring large-breasted girls jumping on trampolines, and jokes like, “We have a serious problem in this...

Assuming Joe actually comes out of his basement to the debate, does anyone know where you will be able to legally watch it without cable? Will it be available on Fox News’ youtube stream? Thanks

Source: LightFieldStudiosWith a third Trump Supreme Court nominee, leftist ‘peaceful protesters’ are kicking up their heels. Given the gargantuan number of crimes that have occurred in Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Minneapolis, Kenosha, Chicago, Milwaukee, Miami, New York, Atlanta, Louisville, and scores of other cities, maybe the criminals, rioters, looters, ‘peaceful protesters,’ Marxists, and outright thugs find strength in numbers. As long as they commit a series of crimes en masse, then perhaps the police, state troopers, National Guard, FBI, Department of Justice, and all other agencies and organizations involved in maintaining law and order will not be able to...

Philadelphia’s treasurer was fired Friday after federal authorities charged him with embezzlement and entering into a sham marriage to obtain US citizenship. Although the allegations against Christian Dunbar did not involve his work with the city, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said that he had asked the city’s inspector general to review the treasurer’s office during Dunbar’s tenure beginning in 2016, the Associated Press reported. “This review can help resolve any concerns about the office´s conduct and transactions during this period,” Kenney said. Federal prosecutors said that Dunbar, 40, stole $15,000 from two of his clients while working at Wells Fargo...

President Trump’s nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court not only ads another wrinkle into an already unusual election cycle, but renews the debate over the appropriateness of the deliberation. Lindsey Graham was against confirming Supreme Court nominees before an election before he was for it. On the other hand, Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama were in favor of it before they were against it. Still, despite the attempts to appear outraged, no one should be surprised that this is happening the way it is. Though the timing of Ginsburg’s death is fitting for the chaos of...
