"ARISE, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is RISEN upon you. For, behold, the darkness covers the earth [Amen], and gross darkness the people [Amen and Amen]: but the Lord ARISES upon you, and his glory is seen upon you." Isaiah 60:1-2. May the Lord and his light and glory RISE upon you today and every day. Let's remember to keep our hearts, minds, and eyes on the glory and presence of the Lord aware we are surrounded by darkness but keeping our eyes and expectations on Jesus, knowing as Elisha, the forces of...

When Joe Biden unveiled his $3 trillion infrastructure bill, he told the American people that no one making less than $400,000 a year would have their taxes raised. He said, “No one making under $400,000 will see their federal taxes go up, period.”In the immortal words of Independence Day Defense Secretary Albert Nimziki, “That’s not entirely accurate.”On Friday, the president said that a two-partner family would be impacted if their combined income crosses $400,000. He also claimed that jacking up corporate and business taxes right at the beginning of the recovery from the pandemic “will not slow the economy at...

A Canadian pastor stood up to police who disrupted his service and shamed them into leaving. Nazis are not welcome here! Do not come back you Nazi psychopaths. Unbelievable sick, evil people. Intimidating people in a church during the Passover! You Gestapo, Nazi, communist fascists! Don’t you dare come back here!” “Can you imagine those psychopaths? Passover. The holiest Christian festival of the year and they’re coming to intimidate Christians during the holiest festival? Unbelievable. What is wrong with those sick psychopaths. It’s beyond me. How dare they,” he continued. The police appear completely cowed by the force of his...

You could tell that the Major League Baseball (MLB) decision to pull its All-Star game out of Atlanta was a deeply unpopular one, based on the ambivalent reaction of far-left failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. Here's the money quote from her Twitter statement:After all, isn't she the one who pushed through most of the fraud-enabling laws on the books in Georgia which triggered the recent legislative action? The blacks-are-too-dumb-to-have-voter-ID idiotic notion, so by extension, nobody should have to show voter ID to vote, even though everyone needs to show ID to buy a beer at an MLB game, or buy...

As we’ve previously documented, President Biden and members of his administration including White House press secretary Jen Psaki are straight-up lying about Georgia’s new voting law, so much so that even fact-checkers who are typically friendly to Democrats are calling them out on it.

The Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) has issued its response to those demanding that they pull their Tour Championship from Georgia due to the state’s recently passed voter reform bill. And their response is, they aren’t going anywhere. In their statement, the PGA emphasized its commitment to the local businesses and charities that will benefit from the Tour Championship being played in Atlanta. “The Tour Championship’s commitment to East Lake has helped our partners transform distressed neighborhoods into healthy and thriving ones, which is a key to ending the cycle of intergenerational poverty,” the statement read. “The charitable and economic benefits...

One of Jesus’s last acts before his crucifixion was the incident we know as “the cleansing of the temple,” when he thew the money changers out of the Temple in Jerusalem for defiling God’s house. That image came inexorably to my mind when I saw the video of a Canadian pastor, through sheer force of will, sending eight COVID cops, many of them armed, out of the church. Visually, the video is simple but compelling. The church is on the second story of a building with a stairway leading directly from the front door up to the place where the...

Major League Baseball had extended and expanded its contract with a Chinese telecommunications giant shortly before boycotting the state of Georgia over the league’s disagreement with the election reforms recently enacted by the Peach State’s democratically elected governor and legislature.Chinese state media reported on April 1 that the MLB will continue to be aired on the streaming platform operated by Chinese tech giant Tencent, which has significant ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Tencent is of the Chinese companies that had temporarily dropped NBA games as a form of censorship after former Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey spoke...

(If this was posted the search didn't turn it up. Worth the watch. Need more pastors like him.) Calgary police were met with resistance when they attempted to shut down a Good Friday church service for violating COVID restrictions. Artur Pawlowski, the pastor at The Cave of Adullam, told police to leave and not return until they have a search warrant in hand. "You come back with a warrant," Pawlowski said. "Out! Out! Out!" Police were hesitant to leave but the pastor wasn't backing down. "Out of this property, you Nazis!" Pawlowski shouted. "Gestapo is not allowed here!" As police...

BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. - It's not unusual for some kinds of aquatic creatures to wash up on Florida beaches, but what about a naval mine? Law enforcement officials said Sunday a possible military explosive training device washed ashore in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Florida. Officials said, though the object has the word "inert" written on it, the Broward Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad investigated. Officials said the U.S. Air Force also responded. Officials said the bomb squad and Air Force determined that the sea mine was safe and removed it from the beach.

...Once upon a time, the far-left used to decry "giant corporations." Today, the giant corporations are all woke, and therefore, according to Axios, our rulers. Never mind elections. Apparently, we can't even boycott them, presumably because they are too big and ominiscent. One thing is for sure right now, yes, they now seem to have power. And it's quite possibly becoming the state. ...Both Allen and VandeHei are very smart guys, and Allen, whom I once shared a panel with, is very nice. But this analysis I see about this being a good thing, or maybe just a trend, has...

Some people take the term "fast-food" a little too literally. Authorities in Tennessee are searching for a woman who allegedly fired a gun through a Burger King’s drive-thru window. Fortunately, employees in the restaurant were reportedly able to escape through a rear doorway and no injuries were reported. The Memphis Police Department posted about the incident on Facebook, which occurred at a Burger King in Memphis on Tuesday, March 30th. According to the post, no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing. Witnesses reportedly said that the woman was upset at how long she the wait at the...

The American education system is producing adults with more degrees that are infinitely dumber — and that’s not just an opinion. In recent years, students are graduating at higher rates, yet they are scoring lower and lower on standardized tests. How is that possible? It’s possible because our education system is being effectively rinsed of hard academics and objective metrics, in favor of woke, emotional, psychological conditioning. In essence, students today are being taught that it’s not what you know, it’s how you feel. How you feel is the goal of education initiatives like critical race theory, and “anti-racism”— initiatives...

Flowers are springing up, birds are singing, and all around us, we sense that we’re finally crawling out of the gloom of the deadly global pandemic. We have lost loved ones, income, businesses, and education. What seems certain is that we will never truly recover. But is it actually certain? Or is that just today’s headline, and there’s more to the story? The power of Easter is the power of resurrection. Resurrection means the triumph of life over death. Because of the miracle of Easter, we have a promise, and the power, of resurrection life. No headline was gloomier 2000...

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — In what can only be described as a victory for religion in America, a Google image search for the word “Easter” included a result associated with the death and resurrection of Jesus, the true and most important reason for the holiday. The surprise visual, which shows the three crosses of Golgotha and a nearby illuminated tomb, followed 18 bright and cheerful images of bunnies, colored eggs, baskets with candy, adorable chicks and more bunnies.

Twitter temporarily suspended Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s account on Sunday after she tweeted an Easter message. Rep. Greene tweeted a message on Easter morning: “He is Risen – Death could not hold him. Rejoice in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.” .... Snip.... No specific reason was given for the suspension. “We have determined that you have violated the Twitter rules, so we’ve temporarily limited some of your account features,” Twitter said.

NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” chose Pete Davidson to portray embattled Rep. Matt Gaetz — despite the cast member dating an 18-year-old last year. Davidson, 27, appeared as Gaetz (R-Fl.) in the show’s cold open, in which the 38-year-old lawmaker was featured as a guest on a Britney Spears-hosted talk show for “the social pariahs of the week.” During the appearance, Davidson, as Gaetz, quoted Glenn Quagmire, the hyper-sexualized character from “Family Guy,” saying “giggity giggity goo” repeatedly. Davidson dated Kaia Gerber, the 19-year-old supermodel and daughter of Cindy Crawford, until February 2020. She was 18 at the time. Many...

The government of Jordan on Sunday alleged that former crown prince Hamzeh bin Hussein and others had engaged with foreign entities in an effort to destabilize the kingdom. "These were efforts that threatened Jordan's security and stability and these efforts were foiled," Deputy Prime Minister Ayman al-Safadi said on Sunday, according to the Washington Post. Parliament head Faysal al-Fayez declared that "the king is a red line" and the nation will oppose "any trembling traitorous hand that aims to mess with out security and stability." A number of people were arrested on Saturday. Jordan's army Chief of Staff Maj. Gen....
