“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). Christ paid a debt He did not owe to free us from a debt we could not pay. In the scientific realm there are universal laws, such as the law of gravity. These laws are built into the creation by its all-wise Creator and keep it functioning normally. Just as God has made inexorable laws to govern the physical dimension, so also has He decreed universal spiritual principles. The most significant of those spiritual laws is that...

If you are a preacher, missionary or teacher, you have some questions to consider. What are you teaching? Is it what a person taught you? Is it a rehashing of some great teacher’s revelation? Or have you experienced your own personal revelation of Jesus Christ? If you have, is it ever-increasing? Paul said of God, “In him we live and move and have our being” (Acts17:28, NKJV). True men and women of God live within this very small yet vast circle. Their every move, their entire existence, is wrapped up only in the interests of Christ. To preach Christ, we...

The Virginia State Police confirmed on Wednesday they are investigating a death threat made Tuesday against gubernatorial candidate and former Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D). "The Virginia State Police is in receipt of the threat and has forwarded it to our Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management Team, as is done with any email of an alarming/threatening nature that is received by a candidate running for elected office. No arrest or charges have been placed at this time," Corinne Geller, public relations director for the Virginia State Police, said in a statement.

“Don’t worry kid, we’re coming back.”They wanted him dead, some metaphorically but most literally. Yet he remains undead. Damnit!So if he will not be dead, then they would have him silenced…and repentant.Yet he remains un-dead, un-silent and unrepentant, damnit, damnit, damnit!!All right then, if he will not be dead, silent and repentant then at least he must be humiliated.But as Rush always said, “if the media didn’t make you, they can’t break you,” and thus he remains wildly popular…and un-humiliated.Possibly even more popular than ever. So, un-dead, un-silent, unrepentant and un-humiliated. Damnit, damnit, damnit, damnit!!!!Fine then: but he must adhere...

The FBI under former director Robert Mueller stands accused of staging a hoax in Madisonville, Tennessee in 2010 to falsely entrap a man on a rare gun charge — and that case is now used as precedent to prosecute a January 6 protester on the same rare gun charge. Evidence provided to National File suggests that Mueller’s FBI completely invented the details of a supposed militia attempt to take over a courthouse, framing a man named Darren Wesley Huff. One of Mueller’s top deputies is alleged to have provided a false statement that contradicts numerous other sworn statements and evidence...

Former President Clinton gave an update on his condition on Wednesday, saying in a video posted to Twitter that he is "on the road to recovery." In the video, Clinton thanked his well-wishers and health care providers for their support while he was hospitalized at the University of California, Irvine Medical Center for sepsis. "I'm really glad to be back home. I'm doing great, enjoying this beautiful fall weather. I'm on the road to recovery, but I want to remind everyone out there [to] take the time to listen to your bodies and care for yourselves," Clinton said.

Molecular biologist Richard H. Ebright on Wednesday posted a letter from the National Institute of Health (NIH) showing that an NIH grant did fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, contrary to what Dr. Anthony Fauci had testified to the Senate.

The leaders of California and China have at least one thing in common: fear of blackouts. In late September, following widespread and economically debilitating losses of power, China’s vice premier Han Zheng ordered the country’s energy companies to ensure sufficient supplies before winter “at all costs” and added, ominously, that blackouts “won’t be tolerated.” A month earlier, California governor Gavin Newsom issued emergency orders to procure more natural gas-fired electrical capacity to avoid blackouts. And in a possible sign of more such moves to come, earlier in the summer, California’s electric grid operator “stole” electricity that Arizona utilities had purchased...

Thank God for Becky Quick because if Sorkin runs this show alone, it’s Hello Trotsky

“The ‘probability is strong’ that the human remains found in a Florida park on Wednesday belong to Brian Laundrie, a representative for the family said Wednesday night,” the New York Post reports. “Laundrie family attorney Steven Bertolino made the shocking statement in an interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo, but added ‘we are going to wait for the forensic results to come in to verify that,’” the paper relates. “A backpack and a notebook belonging to Laundrie were also discovered in the park Wednesday on the same day Laundrie’s parents, Chris and Roberta, showed up to help search for their fugitive...

A plurality of Britons would have preferred former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to have handled the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, a poll found. YouGov asked 5,511 adults in Great Britain in a poll published on Wednesday: “Regardless of how you view them otherwise, if you had to choose one British Prime Minister from the last forty years to have handled the Covid-19 outbreak, who would it have been?”

President Donald J. Trump, the Chairman of TMTG, stated, “I created TRUTH Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech. We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced. This is unacceptable. I am excited to send out my first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon. TMTG was founded with a mission to give a voice to all. I’m excited to soon begin sharing my thoughts on TRUTH Social and to fight back against Big Tech. Everyone asks me why doesn’t someone stand...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemIsaiah 26A Song of Praise 26 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; God makes salvation its walls and ramparts. 2 Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps faith. 3 You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. 4 Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal. 5 He humbles those who dwell on high, he lays the lofty city low; he levels...

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot had originally ordered that all city employees must be vaccinated by October 15, but has faced tremendous pushback from the police union. On Sunday, officers were once again warned that failure to comply will be met with disciplinary action — up to termination.

“The rights of free speech and free exercise, so precious to this nation since its founding, are not limited to soft murmurings behind the doors of a person’s home or church, or private conversations with like–minded friends and family. These guarantees protect the right of every American to express their beliefs in public. This includes the right to create and sell words, paintings, and art that express a person’s sincere religious beliefs.” That opinion, issued in fall 2019 by the Arizona State Supreme Court, assumed an art form all its own – it was music in the ears of the...

Patriot militias are rising and standing in the gap of Bumblin’ Biden’s border crisis. Hundreds of militiamen are coming to the rescue at our nation’s southern border. One Texas sheriff has plans to build a fence around his entire county.

History is the guidepost to the future. Everything that happens has happened before and so, the study of history is what one does to interpret the present to be ready for the future. The ability to predict the future is of little use, because people don’t listen. No matter how accurately one predicts the future, or how loudly they speak, the ability to force others to act on that prediction is an impossible task. They retreat into what they can prove, what exists physically in front of them. Normally, that’s all right. It’d be nice to stop the worst from...

Politicians have no business trying to run the American economy. Businesses have to persuade people to part with their hard-earned money. When private companies make poor decisions, they suffer the consequences. If they charge too much or the quality of their goods is poor, customers go elsewhere. If they spend more than they bring in, they go under. A 10-year-old operating a lemonade stand gets these basic economic principles -- or learns them quickly. But most politicians are economic idiots. Nearly none has any personal experience with running a business, nor even the most basic understanding of costs, prices, profit...

How is it possible for leftists to advocate socialism when the objective truth is that socialism leads always and everywhere to misery and tyranny? In our country today chaos is on the rise. Everywhere we look we see craziness and absurdity. We’re dumbstruck. Our southern border has been erased, shoplifting has been decriminalized, parents are domestic terrorists, the police should be defunded, most college campuses are mini-North Koreas, merit and excellence have no value, our children are taught to despise their own country, Joe Biden is president, and the most important thing in the world is a vaccination. The cause...
