I have a dream! O’Biden has decided to not only destroy the Southern Border but to also allow hundreds of thousands of holier than thou Illegal immigrants into the US.

The golf course crime spree is relieving men of their expensive Rolexes. A pair of female thieves posing as reps for a charity have been prowling upscale golf courses in southern England, swiping Rolexes from the wrists of wealthy older men. Police say the thieves are dark-haired women in their 20s or 30s with "Eastern European accents" who have reportedly robbed 14 golfers at posh UK golf courses.

I have always been a strong supporter of Israel. This is not because I always agree with its secular leadership, which is often as corrupt as America's on seminal biblical issues like child-killing and sodomy, but because the Bible makes clear that Israel is an intact nation-state at the time of Christ's return. Jesus said in the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21) that we would know the season of His return by the revival of the fig tree – the primary biblical symbol of the House of Judah per Jeremiah 24 and many other passages. It is...

The left continues to capture more of the institutions with the manipulation of gender dysphoria. LinkedIn has decided to join the Woke Movement. Recently, when I clicked on my profile, I was invited to identify my preferred pronouns. LinkedIn could not resist being excluded by the Big Tech family. For the most part, on the surface, they have maintained a presence without politics. Every so often, someone posts something political, but until the last year or so, people have stayed away from this arena, sticking to professional endeavors. Over the last few months, however, there has been an increase in...

As best I recall, the sequence of statements coming from the government and "experts" since the beginning of COVID-19 has gone something like this: You don't need to wear a mask and it's no more serious than the flu; you do need to wear a mask, though the virus is so small it can penetrate all but the N95 brand, so you should wear two masks; a vaccine will protect you from catching the virus and, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you won't have to wear a mask if fully vaccinated; you must still wear a...

In an almost unprecedented move, Germany has joined the US and UK in bolstering its military presence in the South China Sea, on Monday sending a warship to contested waters to counter China’s expanding territorial ambitions for the first time in two decades. Reuters cited defense officials in Berlin who said “the German navy will stick to common trade routes,” who further described that “The frigate is not expected to sail through the Taiwan Strait either, another regular U.S. activity condemned by Beijing.”German Navy’s F 217 FGS Bayern“Nevertheless, Berlin has made it clear the mission serves to stress the fact...

The 9/11 attacks changed the Nation's dynamic, a newfound sense of patriotism not felt since World War 2 began. On September 20, 2001, George W. Bush stood before the Nation proclaiming, "Our war on terror begins with al-Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped, and defeated." So, the long war began, with an entire generation growing up knowing nothing but war. Millions deployed to combat zones worldwide for this new form of warfare termed the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). Podcasting flourished during the GWOT...

It was a quiet and rainy Saturday afternoon, and the weather prevented getting outside of the house and doing much of anything constructive. The kind of day to slouch down onto the sofa with a blanket, some popcorn and soda pop, and just vegetate. I had by now overdosed on watching the Olympic Games and found myself mindlessly flipping through the channels on my TV, looking for something, anything to pass the time. I landed on a channel showing the movie Apollo 13, the film about NASA’s 1970 ill-fated lunar landing mission. I started watching the movie, probably for the...

“For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). There are specific indicators that warn us if we are loving money. Today’s verse is a classic reference and contains the overarching scriptural principle concerning our attitude toward money. In referring to the love of money, Paul is essentially talking about the sin of greed. That sin is a serious offense in God’s eyes, which means we ought to desire with all our hearts to have victory over it. And we can begin to achieve such victory by recognizing the major warning signs of...

Eight members of the 1919 Chicago White Sox, also known as The Black Sox, were banned from Major League Baseball, for life; on August 3, 1921. Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis. (He was known as Judge Landis. Prior to becoming Baseball Commissioner, he served 17 years as a Federal judge.) issued this statement: “Regardless of the verdict of juries, no player who throws a ballgame, no player that undertakes or promises to throw a ballgame, no player that sits in conference with a bunch of crooked players and gamblers where the ways and means of throwing a game are discussed...

Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-CA), a survivor of the Jonestown massacre, went all the way out there as she compared Donald Trump to the infamous cult leader, Jim Jones. CNN’s Brian Stelter held a Reliable Sources segment on Sunday that focused on the international perspectives on the former president’s political movement, including the view from critics that his following is a “cult.” Speier was shot while she was on an investigative mission to Jonestown decades ago, so Stelter asked for her thoughts, and she said “there is no question that you could compare” Jones and Trump as “merchants of deceit.” You...

If you’re going to Home Depot, you will have to wear a mask once again, regardless of your vaccination status. With the spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19, the national home-improvement chain announced Monday they are requiring all associates, contractors and vendors to wear masks while indoors at all U.S. Home Depot stores, distribution centers, and offices, as well as in customers’ homes and businesses. Home Depot is also asking customers to wear masks while in their stores, and the company will continue to offer masks to those who don’t have one. “Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, our number one...

We sure went from “love, is love, regardless of your gender” to “gender doesn’t exist” pretty quickly. For those who think that the “slippery slope” argument is always fallacious, this could serve as a useful example of when it is not.It seems like only yesterday that we were still living in First-Term-Obama’s colonial-imperialist-patriarchal America. Then suddenly, but expectedly, The Won “evolved” completely and came out in support of same-sex marriage, chastising anyone who hadn’t manage to “circle back” quite as quickly as he had.Now look at us: just 8 years later and we have fully transformed!“Designating sex on birth certificates...

resident Joe Biden's first six months in office have been devoted to destroying every successful policy from the previous administration. In fact, Biden has managed to do what many of us thought impossible: make Jimmy Carter look good. In foreign affairs, the president has appeared feckless and weak, emboldening our adversaries and frightening our allies. In domestic affairs, his policies have created a catastrophe on our southern border and caused huge spikes in inflation, violent crime and upheaval over COVID-19 issues. Biden and his controllers now have a chance to save his presidency from complete failure. It's a cry for...
