“He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross” (Philippians 2:8). In His suffering and death, Jesus is our supreme example of humility. We naturally react to injustice with deep hurt and an assertion of our rights. But Jesus’ response to His accusers did not include one word of angry defensiveness. Matthew 27:12-14 tells us: “And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He made no answer. Then Pilate said to Him, ‘Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?’ And He did not answer him...

On whom does Jesus bestow his peace? You may think, “I’m not worthy of living in Christ’s peace. I have too many struggles in my life. My faith is so weak.” You would do well to consider the men to whom Jesus first gave his peace. None of them was worthy, and none had a right to it. Think about Peter. Jesus was about to bestow his peace on a minister of the gospel who would soon be spewing out cursings. Peter was zealous in his love for Christ, but he was also going to deny him. The other disciples...

They use mindless fear to justify the seizures because they cannot possibly win their gun-grabbing arguments on substantive grounds. The Democrats, whipped into a frenzy by shootings in Atlanta and Boulder, are once again coming for the Second Amendment. The Constitution, the relative rarity of mass shootings, the overwhelmingly positive use to which people put guns – none of that matters. The Democrats want an unarmed population and they will use whatever opportunity presents itself to achieve that goal. Joe Biden freely professed his ignorance about events in Boulder but was certain that taking guns from law-abiding citizens was the...

Immediately following the news of the killings breaking, white leftwingers all across social media leapt to the assumption that the shooter was a white male despite literally zero evidence that that was the case. Prominent blue-check fake journalists on Twitter led that parade, mainly because they’re all a bunch of Democrat activists and not journalists at all. Thus, the initial narrative became that the shooter was a racist, because at that point no one knew that all of the victims were white. Hours later, when news broke – despite the best efforts of CNN/MSNBC/ABC/NBC/CBS to cover it up – that...

The News Fakery Never Ends at Politico. – Working off a report at Democrat media bullhorn Politico, the Daily Wire said yesterday that China Joe Biden, our National Sock Puppet-in-Chief, is “under investigation” by the Government Accountability Office for his refusal to spend funds allocated by congress to build the wall at the U.S. border with Mexico. This move, among other Biden reversals of the Trump policies that had tamed the situation at the border in recent years, has unsurprisingly led directly to the current mushrooming crisis in South Texas, as aliens from Central America smuggled by drug gangs flood...

If the DHS bureaucrats apply the label "domestic extremist" to you, kiss your right to travel good-bye. Now that the Department of Justice and FBI are using the 1/6/21 Capitol incursion to demonize all who attended the massive rally that day, imputing “insurrection,” “white supremacy,” and “extremism” to them, massive political repression may be coming. Consider this from Politico: The Department of Homeland Security is considering monitoring the travel of domestic extremists and expanding its use of the No Fly List, law enforcement sources told POLITICO. The discussions are part of the Biden administration’s strategy of treating domestic terror as...

A former Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent says he was fired simply for being present at former President Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 rally. Mark Ibrahim spoke with Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson about what happened to him after he attended the former president’s speech along with his brother, an FBI special agent. (RELATED: KRUTA: Tucker Was Right About The Military, And The Intentional Perversion Of His Point Endangers Americans) “There were thousands of Republicans, kind of garden variety Republicans, who went to hear Donald Trump speak near the White House on January 6th,” Carlson began. “Most...

He's only been in the business a matter of months, but already Laurence Fox's two sons want him to 'stop doing politics'. The 42-year-old ex-actor, who starred as the restrained James Hathaway in ITV's Lewis, barely has time to kick a ball around with Winston, 12, and eight-year-old Eugene since he recast himself as the fervent leader of the anti-woke party Reclaim back in November. 'I have to put time for my kids in my diary,' says Laurence, who shares custody of his sons with his ex-wife, actress Billie Piper. 'I don't stop. I can't.'

The narrative that the Atlanta shooting was motivated by anti-Asian racism, without evidence, is a sign that the left is usurping more power for itself. "In my mind...this was an anti-Asian hate crime." So declared Congresswoman Judy Chu regarding the Atlanta shooting, in which eight women died, six of whom happened to be Asian. It seems to be a popular opinion. Andrew Sullivan, writing on his Substack page, reported that (as of March 19) the New York Times had published nine pieces that presented the slaughter as motivated by anti-Asian racism, while the Washington Post had published sixteen stories in...

Investigators were seen searching the $800,000 Colorado home of the King Soopers gunman on Tuesday as more of his Facebook rants are revealed and a police report shows that he 'beat up a teen bully who called him a terrorist' in 2017. Agents of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrived at the residence of Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 21, who was named by police earlier in the day as the man who shot dead 10 people at the Boulder grocery store on Monday afternoon. The grocery store is about 30 miles from his Arvada home.

A few “super carriers” with off-the-charts viral loads are likely responsible for the bulk of COVID-19 transmissions, while about half of infected people aren’t contagious at all at the time of diagnosis, suggests a new CU Boulder analysis of more than 72,000 test samples. A second, related study lends further credence to the idea that viral load, or the amount of virus particles a person carries, drives contagion. It found that only one in five university students who tested positive while living in a residence hall infected their roommate. And their viral load was nearly seven times higher than those...

The oligarchs who want to run your life had to erode America's foundations somehow. The United States has always presented a roadblock to the ambitions of globalist oligarchs through its one-two punch of a Constitution that clearly constrains the powers of government while empowering the people and an American culture that prides itself on representing the last, best hope for freedom on the planet. So how do you "reset" America so that it becomes just another socialist country controlled by an elite few? You undermine America's freedoms by undermining her foundations. You go to war with the American people. "White...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Psalm 13Psalm 13[a] For the director of music. A psalm of David. 1 How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? 2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? 3 Look on me and answer, Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death, 4 and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall....

Joe Biden campaigned on being a “transition” president during a pivotal time in the nation’s history, saying he’d take the reins away from former President Trump and return the country to normal. But now more than ever, those around him say he’ll make another bid for the presidency. “I don’t think there’s any reason to say that he won’t,” said one longtime adviser to the president. Another Biden ally added that Biden hasn’t told associates that he wouldn’t be running again. “So we all assume that he is,” the ally said, “contrary to this sentiment that he’ll be a one-term...

Christian students have won a legal challenge against the University of Iowa after school administrators banned the Business Leaders in Christ (BLinC) student group from campus for requiring its student leaders to affirm the Christian faith. A federal appeals court has ruled that university officials who kicked BLinC off campus because of its faith can be held personally accountable for the harm they caused, according to a press release from Becket Law, a non-profit public interest law firm that defends religious expression. Becket Law says that the university had claimed the Christian student group was in violation of its nondiscrimination...

An Israeli-American pharmaceutical company is preparing to launch a Phase I clinical trial for what could become the world’s first oral COVID-19 vaccine. Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc., a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company based on technology developed by Hadassah-University Medical Center, announced over the weekend a joint venture with India-based Premas Biotech to develop a novel oral vaccine. Together they formed the company Oravax Medical Inc. The vaccine is based on Oramed’s “POD” oral delivery technology and Premas’s vaccine technology. Oramed’s technology can be used to orally administer a number of protein-based therapies, which would otherwise be delivered by injection. Oramed is in...
