For weeks, the Biden loving media hyped the June 16 meeting between the United States President and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. It was supposed to be a chance for the United States to act “tough” with Russia since the media claimed that President Donald Trump was a Putin “puppet.” Of course, this charge was absurd since the entire “Russian collusion” narrative, peddled by the Democrats and the media, was fiction. In reality, President Trump was much tougher on Russia than the Obama-Biden administration. For example, in 2012, former President Obama infamously told then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he...

Nice music for Sunday morning.

Jerusalem (CNN)The Palestinian Authority has canceled an agreement with Israel that was to have seen at least 1 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine for Covid-19 transferred to the West Bank and Gaza. The abrupt turnaround came after health officials in Ramallah inspected the first delivery of almost 90,000 doses Friday afternoon, the Palestinian Health Minister said. ''It was found that the doses did not conform to the technical specifications as previously agreed upon, and that their expiry date was close,'' minister Mai Alkaila said, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa. But they were criticized for failing to...

A shooting near a Juneteenth celebration in Northern California on Saturday evening left at least one person dead and several others wounded, police said. Shots rang out after around 1,000 people had gathered at Lake Merritt in Oakland for the holiday commemorating the historical end of slavery. Bullets struck six victims between ages 16 and 27, Oakland Police said in a statement. A 22-year-old victim died of his wounds at a hospital, the department confirmed. Two armed men seen running from the scene were arrested, the department said. Homicide investigators were determining if the men were the shooters. "Tonight a...

“Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the furnace of blazing fire; he responded and said, ‘Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, come out, you servants of the Most High God, and come here!’ Then Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego came out of the midst of the fire. And the satraps, the prefects, the governors and the king’s high officials gathered around and saw in regard to these men that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men nor was the hair of their head singed, nor were their trousers damaged, nor had the smell of fire even come...

The Father's Love For Me - Song and Video A beautiful song about God the Father's faithfulness to us throughout our entire life, until we are FOREVER with Him! Psalm 23 "Though the times have changed, You have always been the same!"

Song andMusic video Far Greater Than These (Matt. 19:27-30, 1 Cor. 2:9, 1 John 3:1-3, 1 Peter 1:18-19, Rev. 21; 22:1-5) If I possessed, all riches and lands And jewels that exceed all the grains of the sand But far greater than these, vaster than earth's vanities Is my Father's wondrous love for me As I ponder the glorious thought Of this world's wonders my Savior has wrought But far greater than these, vaster than the galaxies Is my Father's wondrous love for me Eyes have no seen, nor the glories been told His majestic ways, His children shall behold...

Growing up in Texas, Juneteenth has been a holiday for me all my life. A time to BBQ, a time to pray, and a time to celebrate freedom. A time to reflect on June 19, 1865, when Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas to take command of the more than 2,000 federal troops. This was two and half years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation had become law on January 1, 1863. Imagine Major General Granger walking through the streets of Galveston reading General Order No. 3 out loud in front of homes, courthouses, businesses, and churches....

Dear American friends, if this 4th of July George Washington, John Adams, Benjamin Rush and the rest of our Founding Fathers were to come back from the grave, they would rebuke and testify against America for her national departure from Almighty God, the laws of nature and of nature's God and our founding principles, The most astounding thing would be upon their return would be that the majority of American’s would NOT have an ear to hear them and would fully reject them outright. It is true that we live in another type of day today; one that abounds with...

The family unit (i.e., Father and Mother) is Almighty God’s design to protect and insulate mankind from the immoral ravishings, which manifest themselves by the violations of the moral absolutes instilled at the beginning of the creation (Gen. 1:1-31, Ex 20:1-17, Mark 10:19, Rom. 13:9, Heb. 13:4). It is a strong family unit that rests and abides on the moral absolutes of time that will keep and preserve society from decadence violence and social breakdown. When these moral absolutes are rejected, the horrific consequences that follow are devastating to the children and nation. In light of Father's Day, godly fathers...

A man who collapsed on a street when he had a stroke in London's West End has tracked down the "guardian angel" who saved his life. Mathew O'Toole, 47, had been sitting on a bench outside a coffee shop in Wigmore Street, Mayfair, on 10 June when he began vomiting and sweating. He said a nurse with a "kind face" called Dani or Danielle spotted the signs of a stroke and stopped to help. The family has since made contact with her after a BBC News story on Saturday. Appearing on BBC Breakfast on Sunday, Mr O'Toole's wife, Georgina, 44,...

In a letter to Boris Johnson, as well as Women and Equalities Minister Liz Truss, the Institute says the demand from Jayne Ozanne that even "gentle non-coercive prayer" on sexual subjects must be banned along with other "conversation therapy" components is a threat. ... In the United Kingdom, Ozanne, an LGBT activist, even has demanded that "prayer" by Christians be banned as talk that counsels against the LGBT lifestyle.

For years, many in the United States have been crying out to our past Presidents and Government (i.e., Washington D.C.) to do more and more to fix our national ills. The notion that Big Government has all our answers and the solutions we need in this very chaotic and unstable world is a fairy tale. Our Founding Fathers wisely understood that the less power government possessed the better off we as Americans would be. Our Foundering Fathers fully comprehend that with the abandonment of Judeo/ Christian foundations and principles that our government would be transformed into an ever controlling monster...

Most voters disagree with Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar's recent comparison of the United States to terrorist groups such as Hamas and the Taliban, according to a new poll. The poll, conducted by Rasmussen and released on Wednesday, shows that 61% of voters disagree with Omar's recent “anti-American rhetoric" that has sparked backlash on social media and on Capitol Hill. Conversely, only 24% agreed with the remark, and 15% did not indicate one way or the other. **SNIP** Lawmakers who make particularly controversial comments are sometimes censured and, in rare cases, are stripped of their committee assignments. A whopping 65% of...

Looking back at life as we once knew it — before any lockdowns and before the word ‘pandemic’ became an integral part of our vocabulary — feels like a distant memory. While many of the state and local government restrictions are waning, there are some things about our daily lives that may never go back to the way they were. Mask mandates still persist in many private businesses, the economy has yet to fully recover here in LA, and there remains a hesitancy by some to participate in heavily crowded events. Yet, not all of the radical changes we have...

A little boy was once asked to define Father’s Day. He thought for a moment and then said, “It is just like Mother’s Day, only you don’t spend as much on the present.”While that joke might earn a few laughs, it is easy to be “down” on fathers today. As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, another crisis remains: fatherlessness. The National Fatherhood Initiative writes, “There is a father absence crisis in America. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 18.3 million children, 1 in 4, live without a biological, step, or adoptive father in the home. Consequently, there is a...

Recently, at the G7 summit, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a Conservative and, allegedly, a “conservative,” declared that the main post-pandemic aim of world leaders must be “building back greener, building back fairer and building equally and – how should I put it? – in a more gender-neutral and perhaps a more feminine way.” He certainly did not realize it at the time, but his statement was a shining example of the moral and intellectual muddle that defines the ideology of the left-leaning global elite. His views and proposals are as senseless as they are destructive. Let's unpack his stupidity...

Remember that famous Hillary Clinton line about Benghazi? She asked, "What difference does it make?" She meant it's over; it's old news; why rehash it now? Nothing will change. Of course, that was convenient for Clinton and former President Barack Obama. They lied, and heroes died at Benghazi. The last thing Clinton or Obama wanted was an investigation. Democrats are saying the same thing now about the 2020 election. They say: "What difference does it make? Donald Trump lost. It's over. The election is certified. Joe Biden is the president. Nothing will change. You're all wasting your time." Again, that's...
