Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Psalm 90BOOK IV Psalms 90–106 Psalm 90 A prayer of Moses the man of God. 1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. 2 Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. 3 You turn people back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.” 4 A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. 5 Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death— they...

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent a letter to Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg today, demanding answers on the nature of his collusion with NIAID director Anthony Fauci, following the recent publication of email conversations between the two men as part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Rep. Jordan noted that Zuckerberg’s decision to work closely with Fauci may amount to government involvement in content moderation, an act that would raise First Amendment issues.

There is one takeaway from watching Vice President Kamala Harris' horrifying interview on NBC about whether she'll visit our southern border to see the crisis with her own eyes: resident Joe Biden must endure until 2024. Please God, please. And I'm asking every American, even Democrats, to pray that Biden endures. He must endure, even if it means we have to suffer through his fading and increasingly creaky Uncle Joe act, a role better suited for a '60s sitcom ("Petticoat Junction") than his upcoming one-on-one meeting with Russia strongman Vladimir Putin. Old Uncle Joe, he's a-moving kinda slow, we can...

PORTLAND, Ore. - When Oregon’s most populous city had a rampant gang problem 30 years ago, Portland detectives were stunned if they found more than a few dozen bullet casings after a shooting. Now, police are recording multiple shootings a week with 50 to 70 shots fired, and in one case more than 150, as gang attacks and retaliatory shootings again spiral into a vicious cycle. With more bullets comes more bloodshed. There have been 37 homicides in Oregon’s largest city so far this year, more than six times the number recorded in the same period last year. The violence...

If it is indeed proven that Biden’s inauguration was the product of fraud, the states can combine to push a civil, unifying, and legal way to avoid future problems. Earlier in the week, I asked the question: What if Proof of 2020 Presidential Election Fraud Develops? I mentioned several remedies that have been widely talked about from impeachment to a Pentagon coup to rioting in the streets. None is an ideal solution. The first wouldn’t correct the problem, the second would turn the United States into a third-world banana republic and the last would bring about a modern version of...

Unvaccinated students attending the Exeter, New Hampshire, high school prom were “numbered” with a sharpie pen and then tracked throughout the evening, a New Hampshire parental rights advocate reported. Ann Marie Banfield, who writes at the blog Granite Grok, reported New Hampshire Rep. Melissa Litchfield, who represents the Brentwood district, posted to Facebook Tuesday that some constituents informed her their unvaccinated students who attended the Exeter High School prom Monday night “had a number written on them in Sharpie” and were tracked throughout the evening. Litchfield continued with some quotes from “angry” constituents: If they were on the dance floor...

The Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino, released findings in March that showed a rise of 149% in reported anti-Asian American hate crimes from 2019 to 2020. PolitiFact wrote: "The report doesn't mention former President Donald Trump. However, it does show that Google searches found spikes for racist terms such as 'China virus' and 'Kung Flu' spiked throughout 2020." As to Trump calling the coronavirus the "Chinese virus" or the "Kung Flu," Asian American Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., said: "It did not help the situation. And frankly, it's appalling that it's been...

This pathological anti-White racism is where Critical Race Theory is leading all of America. Critical Race Theory reared its ugly head in the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association when Donald Ross, a San Francisco-based psychoanalyst (and teacher) shared with the world the fact that “whiteness” is a “malignant, parasitic-like condition.” One of his colleagues was also good enough to offer an approving review in the same issue. The American Psychoanalytic Association is a real organization, founded in 1911 and has over 3,000 members. It also publishes the peer-reviewed Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association (“JAPA”). In its most recent...

The economic opportunities offered to the People's Republic over recent decades were unduly optimistic. Towards the end of March of this year, delegations from the People's Republic of China and the U.S. Dept. of State convened in Anchorage, Alaska to discuss various issues related to trade between the two countries. Although the press described the meetings as contentious, the Chinese opening remarks expressed what they called "common values." They stated, "Our values are the same as the common values of humanity. Those are: peace, development, fairness, justice, freedom and democracy." Many would not agree. Although the Chinese claim to be...

The number of people waiting a year to start treatment is 35 times higher than in 2020, NHS England data shows.

In total 5,122,017 million people were waiting to begin treatment at the end of April, 2021, NHS England figures show - the highest number since records began in August 2007.

Earlier this month, Texas teen Paxton Smith surprised the audience at her high school graduation and used her valedictory speech to criticize the state of Texas for protecting preborn children from abortion violence through the passage of the Texas Heartbeat Law. While no state has yet enacted protections for babies from the moment of conception, the Texas law is among the earliest protections nationwide, banning abortion violence on prenatal children whose heartbeats can be detected, three to four weeks after fertilization. Smith has a right to speak her mind about the law. Unlike members of the woke cancel culture, pro-life...

When Saturday Night Live made fun of Chelsea Clinton, the entire media went crazy and forced an apology. Jokes at the expense of the Obama daughters were met with similar outrage. The Bush daughters…not so much, but there was some “this is inappropriate” talk. The rule of thumb has been that children are off limits in the game of politics, and for good reason – just because their parent is in public office doesn’t mean it should be open season on them. Kids can’t pick their parents, and kids should be free to be kids. Adults, on the other hand,...

During the dark days of the Cold War, eastern Europeans were isolated from the rest of the world behind what was warmly referred to as the Iron Curtain. Everything behind the Iron Curtain was autocratically ruled by the Soviet Union. As part of its effort to control the populace, all regional news outlets (print and broadcast) were in fact, state-sponsored propaganda outlets. The only exception to the blackout of truthful news was a powerful network of transmitters in western Europe, known as Radio Free Europe. This network of transmitters broadcast news and entertainment deep into eastern Europe. In addition to...

Ohio Republican Bernie Moreno, a candidate for U.S. Senate, has released a video message telling those seeking to immigrate to America illegally to “wait in line.” “Everyone is angry when you’re waiting your turn and someone cuts in line, whether at a grocery store, an airline gate, or a public bathroom,” Moreno says in the video. “But when an illegal immigrant cuts the line, no one is angrier than the legal immigrant — I should know. My family came here when I was five years old.” YouTube LinkMoreno continued, noting in the video that he “achieved the American dream” and...

The mainstream media is under attack. Not from Donald Trump. Not from conservatives or Republicans. The truth is what threatens today’s mainstream media—and what little credibility to which it may cling—more than just about anything else. In the last few weeks, numerous revelations have broken through the suffocating pressure of “consensus” narratives repeated ad nauseam by the mainstream media, showing that the truth cannot be kept down forever. From the origins of the Wuhan coronavirus to the events surrounding last summer’s violence in American streets, the truth keeps overcoming the misinformation or outright lies of those who act as though...

JBS, the world’s biggest meat processor, has paid an $11m (£7.8m) ransom after a cyber attack shut down operations, including livestock slaughter plants in the US, Australia and Canada. While most of its operations have been restored, the Brazilian headquartered company said it hoped the payment would head off any further complications including data theft. JBS, which supplies more than a fifth of all beef in the US, reportedly made the payment in bitcoin. “This was a very difficult decision to make for our company and for me personally,” said JBS’s chief executive, Andre Nogueira. “However, we felt this decision...

That “President” Biden is an unmitigated disaster as our chief executive is so painfully apparent to everyone that it hardly seems necessary to point it out. Nonetheless, just briefly consider: Catastrophic GovernanceHis policies -- anti-energy, anti-business, anti-military, anti-America First -- have wrecked the economy, driven gas to over $3.00/gallon, given us the absolute worst illegal immigration crisis in our history and bankrupted the country. In a warped way, it’s kind of impressive that he’s done that in only a bit over four months. Leadership VacuumNo one believes Biden is calling the shots, He’s totally malleable to behind-the-scenes operatives, acting in...

...Some of the pages date back to 7/8AD-Islam's first 200yrs—fragments of the oldest Korans. These fragments revealed small but intriguing aberrations from the standard Koranic text. Such aberrations, though not surprising to textual historians, are at odds with the orthodox Muslim belief that the Koran is the perfect, timeless, and unchanging WordofAllah. .... "They don't want attention drawn to the fact that there are Germans and others working on the Korans. They don't want it made public that there is work being done at all, since the Muslim position is that everything that needs to be said about the Koran's...
