A song of the glorious fullfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles in the Kingdom Age under Messiah! Zech. 14!

“My body my choice!” What incredible control we have over our own bodies! Teenage girls can walk into an (obscenely named) Planned Parenthood clinic and get an abortion without parental consent. Young kids can give in to peer pressure and/or decide on a whim that they want to change sexes, even though that is, scientifically speaking, an impossibility. They can do this, too, without consent, parental or otherwise. Yet, somehow, we are not afforded the right to say what can or can’t be forcibly injected into our bodies by way of the COVID-19(84) vaccines. In direct contravention of natural law,...

The FBI has a history of sending in provocateurs. Saturday, Sept. 18 was the date for the “J6 Rally,” organized by a political advocacy group called Look Ahead America. It was billed as: A rally in support of those who have been charged with nonviolent offences to protest of their disparate treatment at the hands of the Department of Justice and the Judiciary. Our event on Saturday, like all of our other events, is a 100% peaceful First Amendment exercise. We have had dozen successful protest events around the country, including two in the District of Columbia, and we have...

It is human to err, and journalists, being but human, err routinely. Some errors are just minor slips that do not alter the overall picture, but others offer a wide window into the total lack of understanding on the part of a reporter, and will fundamentally corrupt the reader's perception of the issue. One such is the insertion of a number 54 into the New York Times report of Israel's capture in Jenin of the last pair of the escapees from what was considered a maximum security prison: "for many Palestinians, who see the fugitives as resistance fighters against a...

The truth behind the Texas bridge migrants While the president took a long weekend relaxing at the beach in Delaware, another self-imposed crisis blew up in his face. The migrant shantytown under a concrete overpass in Del Rio, Texas, had ballooned to 15,000 souls, mainly Haitians. They were running out of food and water amid dangerously unsanitary conditions. With a pipeline of hundreds more flooding across the Rio Grande from Mexico every day, a humanitarian disaster was unfolding and the media were starting to pay attention. On Wednesday, 9,000 had arrived. By Saturday, 6,000 more had crossed the river with...

Sunday on New York WABC 770 AM radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” former Bill Clinton adviser Dick Morris reacted to John Durham indicting former Hillary Clinton attorney Michael Sussmann for allegedly lying to the FBI in 2016. Morris predicted that the indictment would lead to Hillary Clinton’s indictment. “[I]t might be that we’ve finally caught up with Hillary,” Morris proclaimed. “We don’t know yet, but I’m going to probe it, and I think that there’s some chance now.” “Durham just indicted a guy named [Michael] Sussmann … for lying to the FBI. Sussmann worked for the law firm of Perkins Cole....

One of the most heinous aspects of America’s now-pathological fear of COVID is that leftists have turned into child abusers. Despite strong evidence that children are not COVID spreaders, that COVID affects them only lightly, and that their mortality rate from COVID is infinitesimally small, leftists with power in society have terrorized them with lockdowns and masks, destroying along the way their ability to get educated or learn important social skills and even their will to live. One of the worst things about this child abuse is the mandates putting masks on toddlers. Anybody who has ever been with a...

The major U.S. stock index futures are trading sharply lower early Monday following last week’s dismal performance. The sell-off looks like investor liquidation with a slew of reasons likely fueling the move. Investors are definitely climbing the wall of worry ahead of the two-day Fed meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday. However, there are other factors weighing on the trade including China, supply chain issues, debt ceiling negotiations and the infrastructure/tax bill to name a few. Investors are no doubt reacting to the continuing weakness in Hong Kong and shares of China’s Evergrande Group. At 03:31 GMT, the benchmark S&P 500...

The Biden administration’s shift from denying to imposing a vaccine mandate may be a historic blunder with profound consequences. Done in haste, it jeopardizes the stratospheric levels of support for Democrats among African Americans. In the wake of the shameful surrender of Afghanistan a vaccination mandate might have seemed the perfect vehicle to divert attention to a new subject and assert tribal loyalties against stereotypes of Republicans and Trump fans. Biden’s controllers apparently concluded that demonization of the vaccine hesitant would work to drive support its way because (in their minds) it is mainly deplorable Trump supporters that are reluctant....

There are generally three types of politicians. The first is the AOC type, always saying outrageous things that generate attention by riling up the base, but they never get much accomplished other than raising money for themselves. The second consists of those who get into office and then proceed to compromise with the other side, the John Kasich types. The third group is those who actually get a lot done in line with their principles, usually quietly so they can get more done without being noticed. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich is the third type. For the first six years...

Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 34,939 Ford F-350 Super Duty vehicles with 6.7L engine and single rear wheel axle for a rear axle housing spring seat interface weld issue. Affected vehicles may experience rear driveline disconnection. Customers may experience vibration and/or shaking while driving at highway speeds, and/or shuddering upon acceleration. In the event of a disconnected driveshaft, customers may experience loss of motive power while driving or loss of transmission park function if the parking brake is not applied, increasing the risk of a crash. This action affects 34,855 vehicles in North America, with the remaining...

Exactly 233 COVID cases? Proof of international collusion in the news media? Or just search the internet typing 233 new cases. LOL Excerpt from a Sydney Newspaper

For a Christian, whether or not to do, abstain from, or believe something typically revolves around one basic question: What would Jesus do? Loving God and our neighbor, treating others as we would want to be treated, helping the poor, the widowed, and the sick - these are all key principles taught by the Son of God as laid out in the four Gospels that begin the New Testament, and typically forms the foundation of Christian thought and belief no matter how politically liberal or conservative an adherent is. A more liberal Christian might focus on those more positive aspects...

There’s one thing you can always be sure of – no one in our garbage elites sucks so much that they will ever have to pay for it. Sure, you might get cancelled if you inadvertently address some non-binary two-spirit femme-leaning otherkin as a non-binary two-spirit femme-curious otherkin or, if you become un-useful to the liberal machine, you might get hounded into resignation for cavorting with liberal gals who understood exactly the kind of Dem men they were cozying up to. But if you wreck a state, let kids get molested or killed, or preside over America’s greatest strategic loss...

Let’s get one thing clear, right from the front. I’m not the big expert. That’s because there’s waaaay too much information for any one person to understand. I’m just the “splainer,” since I’m the nut who has taken waaaay too much time away from his golf game to study the experts and learn what’s actually going on so I can ‘splain it for you. Don’t try this at home. I am a professional. I spent 36 years practicing medicine, with a huge chunk of that time wearing masks, both in the operating room and the expensive – oops – Intensive...

When you're the author of a book titled The Deep State Revolution, and you live in lovely little town located much too close to New York City, you constantly run into the judgmental politics of the left. When they will actually have a conversation — hardly a given with the woke — they say, if not with words, then with their expressions: "There is no Deep State." Not long ago, I would cite examples, but as neither The New York Times nor NPR nor CNN has not told those on the left about such things, their response was typically to...

Imagine a doctor standing at a patient’s bedside. The patient is deathly ill, and will likely die without the aid of that life-support device resting by his bed. “Thank God for these devices, and thank God we don’t have any supply issues in getting large quantities of them,” the doctor thinks to himself. He leans over to administer the life-saving treatment, but then pauses. “Wait a minute… is this Joe Smith? The same Joe Smith who called me a dirtbag at the country club last month and argued with me about mask mandates in our kids’ school?” Now, the question....

NBA Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas criticized the NFL’s decision to play the Black national anthem before the 2021 season-opening and radio host Jason Whitlock told "Fox & Friends Weekend" that he agrees there’s a conversation to be had. Whitlock spoke with Thomas in an interview Thursday, as part of the "Fearless with Jason Whitlock" podcast, where the former basketball star suggested that playing both national anthems is only dividing the country instead of unifying it. "He was pointing out the obvious that I think we all agree on," Whitlock said. "You can’t have two national anthems if you want...

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — He crossed the Mexican border into Texas only two weeks ago, joyous at the prospect of building anew in the United States. Now part of the first wave of deportees rapidly ejected by the Biden administration amid a fresh surge at the border, Johnson Bordes, 23, stepped off a Boeing 737 on Sunday and into the Haitian capital... ...He mingled with other confused deportees, many of whom hadn’t seen Haiti in years and now spoke Spanish or Portuguese better than Haitian Creole. Several families told The Washington Post that they were never told they were being deported...
