A Savanta ComRes poll was published just over a week ago on the political affiliation of Church leaders, and it hasn’t had much coverage. In fact, it doesn’t appear to have any media coverage at all, which is a little odd given the nuggets of insight it offers, not least of which being the fact that ‘Church leaders’ mental health takes a knock during lockdown’. The number of church leaders who said they had poor mental health doubled during 2020, apparently jumped from 7% to 15%. This is very concerning in the Body of Christ: if the mind is sick,...

On Tuesday, February 9, His Eminence Metropolitan Eugene of Ekaterinburg headed the annual meeting of the Ekaterinburg branch of the World Russian People’s Council at the Royal Cultural and Educational Center, which discussed the issue of street names bearing the names of Bolsheviks. The Council resolved to continue its informational and educational activities for the renaming of the region and the revival of historical names of streets that today bear the names of terrorists, including those involved in the murder of the Royal Family, reports the Ekaterinburg Diocese. Public activists have raised the possibility of a system of street signs...

Dr. Peter Navarro joined Steve Bannon and The War Room on Saturday morning. During their discussion on voter fraud, Navarro brought up the actions of Mike Pence. Navarro, along with millions of Trump voters, believe what Mike Pence did will go down in history as one of the greatest betrayals of a president and the country. Mike Pence did not have the courage to confront the obvious election fraud. He sided with the enemies of America. Dr. Peter Navarro: Look, what Mike Pence did to Donald J. Trump I think will go down in history as one of the biggest...

Watching the first weeks of Joe Biden’s presidency unfold on TV from her Bronx apartment, Natalia Imperatori-Lee saw a bit of herself in America’s new leader.Like her, a mom of two Catholic school kids, Biden was a regular at Sunday Mass. In clips of him in the Oval Office, she glimpsed the rosary peeking out from his sleeve — reminding her of the prayer beads in the Cuban American home where she grew up. Reading reports of the president’s push to offer legal residency to millions of immigrants, she sensed the church’s teaching to “welcome the stranger among us.”“I’m just...

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemLambs, Sheep, and Shepherds.Genesis 21The Treaty at Beersheba 22 At that time Abimelek and Phicol the commander of his forces said to Abraham, “God is with you in everything you do. 23 Now swear to me here before God that you will not deal falsely with me or my children or my descendants. Show to me and the country where you now reside as a foreigner the same kindness I have shown to you.” 24 Abraham said, “I swear it.” 25 Then Abraham complained to Abimelek about a well of water that Abimelek’s servants had...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who allegedly used the threat of a Senate conviction to blackmail President Donald Trump during his final days in office, seemed to call for a criminal trial against the former President only moments after voting to acquit him.“January 6th was a disgrace. American citizens attacked their own government,” said McConnell, before claiming that President Trump inspired his supporters to use “terrorism” “to try to stop a specific piece of domestic business they did not like.”They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the vice president,” said McConnell, without providing evidence. “They did this because they...

As the United States prepares to open back up after the unnecessarily long COVID lockdowns, the mainstream media is shaping the narrative that “vaccination passports” will not only be required for travel, but that they will arrive as a necessity by this summer.CBS News travel editor, Peter Greenberg, almost appeared gleeful when he predicted two things: that travel – both domestic and international – would most likely return this summer, and that there would be a prerequisite to being able to travel.Greenberg stated bluntly that in order to travel you will most likely need proof that you’ve been vaccinated for...

McConnell also argued, “In recent weeks, our ex-president’s associates have tried to use the 74 million Americans who voted to re-elect him as a kind of human shield against criticism, using the 74 million who voted for him as kind of a human shield against criticism. Anyone who decries his awful behavior is accused of insulting millions of voters. That’s absurd deflection. 74 million Americans did not invade the Capitol, hundreds of rioters did. 74 million Americans did not engineer the campaign of disinformation and rage that provoked it, one person did.”

One of the stars of the Disney-Plus Star Wars series The Mandalorian, has been canceled by Hollywood’s cancel culture elitists after a series of brutally honest and accurate social media posts addressing both Black Lives Matter protests and today’s current political climate.Gina Carano, who played Cara Dune, a recurring character in the Star Wars spinoff series produced by Lucasfilm and Disney, was abruptly canceled (read: terminated) from her contract after a tweet explaining the verifiable correlations between the genesis of the Holocaust and how Trump supporters, conservatives and Republicans are being treated in the political arena today.A Lucasfilm spokesperson issued...

India has become the second country to outrightly ban Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This is coming after the Central Bank of Nigeria instructed all financial institutions in the country to block the accounts of all individuals and entities linked to cryptocurrency transactions. There has been a lot of drama surrounding India’s cryptocurrency stance. In 2018, the Reserve Bank of India issued a ban on all cryptocurrency transactions. The ban was lifted by the country’s Supreme Court in March 2020. In December 2020, government officials hinted that they were considering taxing Bitcoin transactions by up to 18%. Barely a month later...

I don’t think President Donald Trump handled the Coronavirus perfectly. But neither has anybody else. IMHO telling his people not to let it dominate them was magnificent. How close were Trump’s actions as President in a pandemic to the sort of conduct taught in a technologically very different era in Exodus 7-11?

TITLES AND POWER Now I see why powerful people often wear sunglasses--the spotlight blinds them to reality. They suffer from a delusion that power means something. They suffer from the misconception that titles make a difference. They are under the impression that earthly authority will make a heavenly difference. Can I prove my point? Take this quiz: * Name the last ten Heisman trophy winners. * Name the last ten winners of the Miss America contest. * Name eight people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize. * How about the last ten Academy Award winners for best...

Two Republican senators — Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Mitt Romney of Utah — got into a confrontation on the Senate floor Saturday after Romney voted with Democrats to allow witnesses in the impeachment trial of former President Trump. Reporters sitting in the Senate gallery said they saw a “visibly upset” Johnson turn to Romney and point at him after the vote. The two men then got into a back-and-forth, with Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) trying to play referee. Voices were raised, and at one point Johnson was overheard saying he blamed Romney. Johnson is a staunch Trump ally who...

I’ve always been a proponent of supporting the Republican candidate in a general over any Democrat, but this was the last straw. Every single Republican in the House or Senate who voted for impeachment or to convict today must be defeated, preferably by their primary opponent or, failing that, the official Democrat in November. They must be made to learn that our votes aren’t automatic and that we can cast unpopular votes too. We simply cannot stand by and watch Democrats openly steal an election and then illegally impeach a president for a riot which he in no way instigated...
