Pray For the Peace of JerusalemLambs, Sheep, and Shepherds.Psalm 77For the director of music. For Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm. 1 I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. 2 When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I would not be comforted. 3 I remembered you, God, and I groaned; I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.[b] 4 You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak. 5 I thought about the former days, the years of long ago; 6...

On Sept. 12, President Trump signed Executive Order 13848, titled “Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election.” Reporting in early August suggested that such an order was being drafted, though—as will be discussed below—it appears to have changed in some meaningful ways. The document opens by finding that foreign persons’ “ability … to interfere in or undermine public confidence in [U.S.] elections … constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the [U.S.],” thus triggering the president’s authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), codified...

This means they can exceed capacity restrictions.. COLORADO SPRINGS — Worship leaders across the state are preparing to be able to do things a bit differently after a new public health order from the governor will allow places of worship to exceed mandated capacity limits. The order redefines worship services as essential, meaning they’re allowed to go over mandated capacity limits if they can’t perform their essential service without doing so. “I grew up in church and sensed that this is what I wanted to do,” said Vista Grande Baptist Church Pastor Chris Moore. “After college I felt that seminary...

SCOTUS...is time for all nine of you to show we, the American People, your profiles in courage, honesty & 100% loyalty to the American Constitution!!! Show us, we are all watching!!!

The Democrats are so emboldened by the appearance of a Biden win that they are directly and without fear threatening Trump and anyone who supports him. Others started, but This Cynthia Johnson of Michigan REALLY said it directly...we are just about at war. They have cheated to win this election, the know it and we know it and there is no turning back. They (but not many of us) realize they have to finish the job if they can pull it off. They MUST destroy any resistance now and in the future to their plans to take over government and...

At the withered old age of 87, Dianne Feinstein has evidently served her purpose to an increasingly ruthless Democratic-activist complex in search of younger and shinier new toys.

Recently entertainer Seth MacFarlane made a quiet announcement that his sci-fi space satire television show ‘’The Orville’’ was going back into production. This is a somewhat unsettling announcement for a couple of reasons. For one, over the past months Seth had been a loud proponent of shutdowns, quarantines, and basically any limitations done in the name of safety. We can guess that the virus has been scientifically shown to avoid television productions.The other issue is that as Seth’s show ramps back up California’s Governor Gavin Newsom has imposed tougher lockdown standards on citizens and businesses, as well as instilling a...

The most shocking thing about the recent news story that flatulent Russiagate hoaxer and American-nuking enthusiast Rep. Eric Swalwell was caught intertwined with a Chinese honey pot is...well, actually nothing about it is shocking. This is totally on-brand for the Dems and especially this particular clown. It’s not clear how far he got with this Democrat-diddling doxie, but the best case for Swalwell is that he was a fool who couldn’t see how unlikely it was for a DC 8 (and real world 5) to want anything to do with him other than as a mark. The worst case is...

[Note: This piece contains heavy video content.] So, CNN admits that the New York Post’s stories on Hunter Biden’s laptop were 100% accurate, then? – Sure seems like it, anyway. You all remember the New York Post having its original reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop and the contents thereon, correct? Remember how the story was spiked by every major corrupt media outlet in the country? Remember how users at Twitter and all of the other big social media platforms were denied the ability to share it? Remember how the Post’s accounts on Twitter and Facebook were shut down for weeks...

On his radio program yesterday, Rush Limbaugh indicated his belief that our country may be trending towards secession by some states. From the story at Mediaite: Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show Wednesday that the U.S. may be “trending toward secession.” As Limbaugh talked about liberal cities like New York and San Francisco, he took up a question of whether “we can win the culture.” “I actually think — and I’ve referenced this, I’ve alluded to this a couple of times because I’ve seen others allude to this — I actually think that we’re trending toward secession,” he said....

WASHINGTON - Progressive lawmakers in the "Squad" want to see President-Elect Joe Biden use executive actions to cancel student loan debt, raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour for federal contractors, declare climate change a national emergency and more. Biden will likely have a tough time passing major legislation, even if Democrats win next month's Georgia runoffs and narrowly retake the Senate, so liberals are urging him to make use of the power of the office without involving Congress. "We've all seen what it’s like trying to get meaningful legislation past Republicans in the Senate," Rep. Ilhan Omar told...

Do you think the Democrats regret talking about packing the Supreme Court? A lot of people were shocked when the Supreme Court agreed to hear the lawsuit by the State of Texas against Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania for allegedly exploiting "the COVID-19 pandemic to justify ignoring federal and state election laws and unlawfully enacting last-minute changes, thus skewing the results of the 2020 General Election." According to media reports, Louisiana and Alabama A.G.s, and possibly six other states, have expressed interest in joining Texas in the lawsuit. Many legal scholars dismiss the chances of success for the lawsuit, and...

As a writer, I get a lot of pitches and stories sent to me. Somehow or another, writers end up on email lists for any number of candidates, fundraisers, causes, activist groups, etc. All those press releases and pitches can clutter up your inbox pretty quickly. And when you’ve been involved in politics for more than a couple of years, you get pitches from friends too. Not all of them work in the PR world, some just find an interesting story and have no outlet themselves to do anything with it. These aren’t scoops in the traditional sense, they’re just...

Another George Soros-funded District Attorney announces he’ll no longer criminalizing quality of life offenses or ask for cash bail. Los Angeles’s new District Attorney, George Gascón, who ran his campaign with a healthy heaping of George Soros funding, has announced that henceforth he will no longer prosecute quality of life offenses or ask for cash bail. Like leftists all over 2020 America, he’s reimagining criminal justice as a world without police, without laws, and without jails. While he tries to sell a Garden of Eden, I’m imagining Mad Max rules, while being grateful, very grateful, that my friends in L.A....

Texas claims that the presidential elections as held (and as directed by government officials outside the legislature) in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan all flagrantly violated their own election laws by materially weakening or doing away with security measures. Further, according to the U.S. Constitution, the legislature (representing the citizens) of each state has absolute authority and responsibility for how presidential electors are chosen; the will of legislature being expressed through state law. Texas claims that the violations of election law in these states created an environment where ballot fraud was enabled and likely to occur. The lawsuit lists the...

MINNEAPOLIS - The Minneapolis City Council unanimously approved a budget early Thursday that will shift about $8 million from the police department toward violence prevention and other programs - but will keep the mayor’s targeted staffing levels for sworn officers intact, averting a possible veto. Mayor Jacob Frey, who had threatened to veto the entire budget if the council went ahead with its plan to cap police staffing, said the vote was a defining moment for the city, which has experienced soaring crime rates amid calls to defund the police since the May 25 death of George Floyd. “We all...

This isn't an "equal protection" issue for voting integrity. It's a bit messier than that. Much of the election controversy in PA had to do with guidance that PA secretary of state Kathy Boockvar gave election officials on the night before the election: "At issue is guidance Boockvar's office gave to counties on the night before the election. Counties were told that as they began to process ballots on Election Day, they could share information with political parties about ballots that contained deficiencies, such as a missing signature or date, or a missing secrecy envelope." (See also here ) Has...
