THIRTY-THIRD WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME LUKE 19:45-48 Friends, in today’s Gospel, we see Jesus cleansing the temple. What did it mean for a provincial prophet to come into the holy city of Jerusalem and make a ruckus in the temple? Well, you can probably imagine. To make matters worse, Jesus says something that is as shocking as his actions. He says, “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.” No wonder that it was precisely this act that led to his crucifixion. So what was he doing and why? First, in showing his lordship over even...

I am dying here laughing at some of the reactions to the Rittenhouse verdict, filled with hyperbole, outright lies, and delicious tears. I’d like to document the best ones. Keeping in mind that Mr. Rittenhouse shot three white guys in self defense, I’ll start with the Rev. Al Sharpton, who seems to be living in an alternate universe: "These continue to be dark days for black people killed at the hands of people that believe our lives do not matter. This verdict was not only outrageous and dangerous, it was also an obvious signal that encourages and notifies 'vigilantes' that...

"I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with, and actually have journalists," claimed John Malone, the top shareholder of Discovery, which is poised to take over the network. pic.twitter.com/QnNhQwgBY0 — Mediaite (@Mediaite) November 19, 2021 John Malone is not jacking around.

Predictions that American higher education is on the verge of great change have been heard for quite a few years, but so far the system doesn’t look much different than it did twenty years ago. Perhaps the prognostications were wrong. I have never doubted that higher education was on an unsustainable path and after reading The Great Upheaval by Arthur Levine and Scott Van Pelt, I’m more sure of that than ever. They present a convincing case that our higher education system will undergo a disruption that is “needed and inevitable.” Levine and Van Pelt begin by examining three industries...

Christie is trying to walk the line between Trump critic and Trump supporter — but (almost) nobody cares

NIH research highlights importance of data-driven approach to identify novel drug targets. Existing and emerging cancer drugs could be repurposed as therapies to be tested in clinical trials for people at genetic risk of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study published in Science Advances. Research combining analysis of brain protein alterations in these individuals as well as laboratory experiments in animal models and cell cultures could help scientists identify existing drugs to test for their potential as Alzheimer’s interventions more quickly. The findings represent efforts from researchers at the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes...

YouTube and its parent company Google targeted a video about the suspicious disappearance of Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai by journalists Saagar Enjeti and Krystal Ball on Thursday, in a continuation of the tech company’s running interference for communist China. Concerns mount over Chinese tennis star who accused a former top government official of sexual assaultIn a 10-minute “Breaking Points” video titled “Chinese Tennis Star VANISHES After Rape Accusation,” Enjeti and Ball discuss Shuai’s allegations that China’s former Vice-Premier Zhang Gaoli sexually assaulted her. “After she posted that, overnight, she was disappeared from the Chinese social media,” Enjeti says in...

(CNN)President Joe Biden said Friday he stands by the not-guilty verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, saying the jury system of trial in the United States works and must be respected.

The Biden administration recently turned nearly every community in America into an illegal alien sanctuary.Under a new policy, federal immigration law enforcement is now largely prohibited from arresting criminal aliens in your neighborhood if you live near a playground, a recreation center, a school, a place of worship or religious study, a location that offers vaccinations (such as a pharmacy), a community-based organization, any location that hosts weddings (such as a civic center, hotel, or park), any location with a school bus stop, any place “where children gather,” and many more places that are common to most towns.What used to...

Matthew 24:3-31, Mark 13:3-27, Luke 21:7-30,1 Thessalonians 4:13-18,1 Corinthians 15:51-58 Summary: Mark 13, Matthew 24, and Luke 21 are all dedicated to the prophetic warning given by the Lord Jesus to His disciples as to what to expect regarding the spread of the Gospel and the increasing evil of the world. Apostate Judaism has had its last chance. Jesus had finished with the Pharisees, Sadducees, and others who had challenged His authority, teachings, and miracles. He will again face them on the day of His crucifixion. He had shed tears over Jerusalem and had pronounced judgment upon it. The apostles...

Virginia’s governor-elect Glenn Youngkin says he won’t take action to prevent localities in the state from mandating the COVID jab or masks for their constituents.“Localities are going to have to make decisions the way the law works and that is going to be up to individual decisions but, again, from the governor’s office, you won’t see mandates from me,” he said during an interview over the weekend.The comments from Youngkin aren’t the first time the Virginia Republican has seemingly shied away from going on offense against vaccine coercion efforts. When twice asked by the moderator during the first gubernatorial debate...

White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that the Biden administration has been in communication with local law enforcement in Kenosha, Wisconsin, of possible unrest following the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse case. A jury of seven women and five men declared Rittenhouse, who was accused in the shooting deaths of two men on a night of riots and protests last year, not guilty on all five charges on Friday afternoon. The most serious charge would have carried a maximum sentence of life in prison. Psaki on Friday said that the White House “has been in close touch with...

Fox News host Tucker Carlson joined my radio program this week, and he had a lot to say on an array of subjects. We discussed the ratings success of his show and his methodology for preparing each episode (he shuts out social media, but is in touch with a large network of friends and sources via text). The topic of Carlson's self-identified flaws arose in the context of how he feels about his haters, especially those who toil endlessly to get him fired or forced off the air. In response to an outrageous anti-Fox smear from a progressive MSNBC opinion...

The verdict is in and the trial is over. Kyle Rittenhouse has been judged not guilty on all counts in connection to the shooting in Kenosha, WI. As you might have expected, the left wasn’t too happy about the jury’s decision. At this very moment, the Twitterverse is full of hot takes from aggrieved, virtue-signaling leftists whining about how America is such a racist nation because it did not convict a man who clearly defended himself from three aggressors. Here are some gems for your viewing pleasure. Voto Latino, a left-wing activist organization ostensibly dedicated to “empowering a new generation...

President Biden's Build Back Better plan is somewhat in flux, but as of this writing it looks as though it is likely to include a loophole which would be highly beneficial to wealthy people in high tax states. What light can the Bible shed on policies like this? First, let's deal with the problem of hyper-spirituality among some Christians. This problem limits God's authority in advance, telling Him which topics He's allowed to talk about in the Bible. In this view, salvation, personal devotion, evangelism, church life, family life, sexual morality are Christian topics. But budgeting, taxation, finance, wealth, poverty,...

... police departments are preparing behind the scenes for what could be a weekend of chaos Sergeant Betsy Brantner Smith, a retired 20 year veteran, said violence is 'likely' and it may start tonight The fact the verdict came in on a Friday means more people are likely to protest because they aren't at work It also came in late so it will be darker sooner in much of the country than it was in August last year She said forces must use a zero tolerance policy but that local, state and federal leaders need to urge calm too

↑Chuck Schumer, back in January, 2017, gave the game away as to who or what actually runs this country. It is in fact, per Schumer, the intelligence agencies; why? Because, “they have six ways from Sunday to get back at you.” For context, he was referring to some perceived slight from a comment President-elect Trump had made about the IC. Let’s recall that, under the perverse penguin, John Brennan, the CIA actively spied on the Senate committee charged with its oversight. To date, if anything of consequence was done as a response, it has not been made public. What Schumer...

Today’s verdict is a stain on the soul of America, & sends a dangerous message about who & what values our justice system was designed to protectWe must stand unified in rejecting supremacist vigilantism & with one voice say: this is not who we are

The Eric Clapton we loved, whose new album is as good as anything he’s ever done, is dead to us, basically. Clapton has doubled down on his anti-vaccine madness and thrown in with Robert K. Kennedy, Jr. Kennedy, a misery to his family– they’ve all criticized him– maintains a loud anti-vaccine campaign himself. Despite suffering from Parkinson’s Disease, Kennedy is anti-public health. His dead uncle, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, who fought for decades for universal health insurance, must be throwing up in heaven. Clapton has now allowed himself to be interviewed by Kennedy and featured on his website. Clapton tells...
