A headline on Newsweek’s web site grabbed my attention in early May: “Wokeness Has Come for Adoption. It’s the Children Who Will Suffer.” This is a subject I know well: My wife and I have fostered three child refugees—from Zimbabwe, Guatemala, and Honduras respectively. These foster children are functionally adopted, and have become full-fledged members of our family. The article noted that a vice-president at Bethany Christian Services, the largest Christian adoption agency in the country, had told a reporter that allowing white families to adopt black children from the foster care system “can cause a lot of harm to...

Here’s what Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito looked like on some of their cross-country road trip stops. These photos might be the last ones Brian and Gabby have taken together during their final road trip stops.

Large migrant caravan has left Tapachula, Mexico for the US. The migrants, mostly from Central America, carry banners that read such as "We come in peace" and "Joe Biden is for everyone" (Politico MX)

[Catholic Caucus] Louisiana bishop defends Latin Mass, says restricting it would be ‘grossly negligent’Bishop Glen Provost of Lake Charles issued his official response to the Pope’s July motu proprio against the Latin Mass.LAKE CHARLES, Louisiana (LifeSiteNews) — Bishop Glen Provost of the Diocese of Lake Charles said it would be “grossly negligent if not callous” to impose any “restrictive law” on the Latin Mass.Pope Francis’ July 16 motu proprio Traditionis Custodes implemented sweeping restrictions on the celebration of the traditional liturgy, or Latin Mass, and declared the novus ordo to be “the unique expression of the lex orandi of the...

He recently uploaded a video on his channel, Munro Live, where he shares on his side of the story when it comes to the recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (the NTHSA) versus Tesla situation. In case you don’t know what that’s about, the NHTSA is about to get a new senior adviser for safety, Missy Cummings, who has voiced criticism against Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving systems in a paper she published in August. He makes an analogy to football, saying this situation is like saying to the leading team to back off in order for others to have...

“Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.“ 1 Corinthians 6:18 I remember… years ago, when corruption had taken hold of my mind and body. I was working “graveyard” shift in a medical lab. Just about every morning I’d come home to my seedy apartment. I’d gotten into the habit of smoking weed through a bong (water pipe) in order to relax enough to go to sleep, and be able to sleep through the ever-loud country and Western music coming though the wall of...

Finally, our work, allegedly a fed contractor, has given us forms for the exemptions from the COVID jab. There is one question: Are there any reasonable accommodations of which you are aware that would enable you to perform your job duties on-site, if required, without posing a direct threat to the health or safety of the employee or others? If so,please specify the reasonable accommodation and why you believe it will be effective: I said I could * wear mask * social distance * stay inside my office with door closed * take zoom calls for meetings and not be...

Democratic Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin are dominating Capitol Hill. Given the 50-50 split in the Senate, Democrats can't afford to lose a single vote on the budget reconciliation bill -- and Sinema and Manchin are using that leverage to force huge concessions from the Biden administration.

Production issues at two of the largest U.S. liquefied natural gas export terminals threaten to reduce shipments just as an energy crisis hits Europe and Asia, where buyers are desperately trying to rebuild depleted inventories ahead of winter. Freeport LNG is experiencing a wax buildup in its pipelines due to impurities in the gas it receives, said people with direct knowledge who asked not to be identified. As a result, LNG shipments from the Texas export terminal will be reduced for the remainder of October through November, the people said. Freeport officials declined to comment. ... Meanwhile, a production unit...

It is Saturday morning and light rain is falling. I am sitting at my computer drinking coffee. My desk is set up by the bay windows at the front of the apartment because that is the best natural light. My apartment faces another building across the parking lot. There is a man standing under the overhang smoking a cigarette. There is nobody else around. He finishes his cigarette and puts it out. He puts on a face mask, picks up his plastic garbage bag, and walks out into the rain to dispose of it in the dumpster. He is not...

Anyone seen the new Dune? Is it Woke or otherwise polluted with leftism? Worth the money to see it in a theater?

VIDEOThis video of the Democratic Socialists of America Convention in 2019 explains why that party has quickly faded into the No Labels level of obscurity. Basically, as you can see it was laughed out of existence so it is today no more relevant than the Coffee Party.

In recent weeks, 6,000 Afghan evacuees have left temporary housing sites at U.S. military installations to start new lives in America with the help of nonprofit refugee resettlement agencies, according to Department of Homeland Security data. Another 3,000 U.S. citizens, green card holders and Afghans with close ties in America have left the facilities on their own. Nearly 4,000 Afghan evacuees were resettled in U.S. communities during the past week alone. In addition, the Biden administration has now flown nearly 67,000 Afghans to the U.S. since mid-August with plans to bring thousands more from the Air Force base in Ramstein,...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemIsaiah 38Hezekiah’s Illness 38 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.” 2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, 3 “Remember, Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. 4 Then the word of the...

The city is Satan's demonic concentration camps where He through his godless and lawless minions seek to destroy, indoctrinate and corrupt the nations (Eph. 2:1-2). History testifies to this reality! As we see our cities today here in America super abounding in growing EXPONENTIAL lawlessness and godlessness we know that it cannot be too long for our nation. This Moody Science video called “Empty Cities” is a power testimony to the world in which we live in today. Done in the early 60’s before prayer was removed from school; look how far we have fallen as a nation since then!...

There is an Atlantic article this month that chronicles author Emma Green’s interview with Kyle Mann, the managing editor of the Babylon Bee. The title, The Christians Who Mock Wokeness for a Living, explains to Ms. Green’s audience what the article is intended to do: chastise America’s new newspaper of record for being rather un-Christian. What it actually does is prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that the left has absolutely no sense of humor… “Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see.” – Martin Luther King…at least when the joke is...

It seems more than apropos to assess the legacy and words of President Ronald Reagan at this juncture in our history; it is an absolute necessity. Reagan not only understood the political reality of the world in front of him, he had a prescience of the political world that might be coming if Americans did not demonstrate the same resolve that won the revolution. The insouciance of the Biden administration is unrelenting as it watches inflation rise, spends trillions on phony infrastructure bills and blithely observes the southern border evaporate. What would Reagan have done? And what would Reagan have...

The unchecked unbridled passions of man are an appetite NEVER satisfied and unfulfilled by the gratification of the flesh (Rom. 7, Rom. 8:5, Gal. 5:17). Like an addict, the unbridled passions of sexually driven men and women create a tsunami of psychological and social discord and physiological disorders that spillover from the individual into our societies and communities. The number one addiction in America today is not cocaine, it is not alcohol, it is not marijuana, it is not heroin, it is not Oxycontin, etc. The number one American addition is this unbridled beast of Eros-erotic love, i.e., sexual addiction...
