Whatever victories wokeism may be enjoying now, they're not going to last. In a recent article, N.S. Lyons takes a sardonic yet, in this writer's view, overly respectful assessment of the present and future success and prospects for wokeism in American culture. On the one hand, he perceives this woke subculture (which he perceives as the majority culture) as a most unsatisfactory historical development, but at the same time, he sees it as the culmination of over 50 years of dogged cultural Marxism having worked its way into positions of power in our culture. He posits that the cultural opposition...

Social media posts claim that a convoy heading to Canada's capital to protest Covid-19 vaccine mandates for truckers set a Guinness World Record for being the longest. This is false; the global authority on record-breaking said the honor is held by a parade that took place in Egypt in 2020, and specific conditions have to be met for an official record attempt to be registered by Guinness. **SNIP** But claiming that it "made the Guinness Book of World Records" for being the longest convoy is false. A spokeswoman for Guinness World Records told AFP in an email that the "the...

Will disbarment get their attention? As I write this, New York City is laying to rest a 22-year-old police officer killed in an ambush attack by a career criminal. New York Distict Attorney Alvin Bragg has doubled down on his written progressive policy stating that the U.S. Constitution gives him the right not to prosecute certain crimes, while Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon has recommended prosecuting a 26-year-old adult transgendered female as a juvenile for a sexual assault on a 10-year-old committed when the suspect was 17 years of age. If convicted in juvenile court under Gascon’s proposal, the...

...As of Saturday evening, police and city officials did not know when the protest would end. Mayor Jim Watson admitted there is a possibility there will be large crowds downtown again today. "My message, again, is clear - You’ve been here, you’ve made your point, you’ve protested, you’ve disrupted a lot of communities - the ByWard Market, Centretown and so on in our city - it’s time for you to go back to your home," said Watson on CTV News Channel. "Because we have to start rebuilding our economy because COVID-19 has been devastating to a lot of small businesses."

Thanks for joining us today. The prophecy “teased” in the headline is the prophetic prayer of Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist. In my NIV study Bible, the prayer’s subhead is “Zechariah’s Song” and notes, “This hymn is called Benedictus, (‘Praise be’) because the opening word in the Latin Vulgate translation is ‘Benedictus.’”This prophetic “song” — recorded in Luke 1: 68-74 — immediately follows the birth of John the Baptist. Let’s read it now and then discuss why Zechariah’s prayer is a great New Testament prophecy that I would argue does not receive enough attention: “‘Praise be to the...

Prophets are those who speak for God. They love Him and His people. They speak the often-painful truth to God’s people not to win an argument but because of their love and their conviction that only His undiluted truth can save us in the end.People-pleasing and other forms of human respect cannot supplant reverence for God and His truth. Prophets are willing to endure pain, suffering, and even death in order to proclaim God’s truth to an often-unappreciative audience.Today’s readings set forth a kind of “rule for life” for prophets. We who are baptized into the order of the prophet...

This week has been eye-opening. Even for me -- and I'm the guy who has warned for over a year, in commentary after commentary, and often for three hours a day on my nationally syndicated radio show, that the COVID-19 vaccine could be dangerous and deadly and could lead to catastrophe. I stuck my neck out like no other talk show host in America to warn the vaccine may not even prevent illness; in fact, it could damage the immune system, thereby causing more illness and death. And not just from COVID-19, but also injuries and death linked to the...

Are the world’s elite tone-deaf, willfully ignorant, or truly malicious? I must contemplate this question because, on a very human level, it points to where we’ve gone wrong, and what we must do to fix it before it’s too late. I think, honestly, it’s all three. It just depends on the person whom we’re talking about and what set of circumstances we’re contemplating. Let’s face it: There are a relative few who consider themselves “the chosen” in this world, the ones with the most money, the power-mad, the influencers. Nothing says that their ideas are any better than yours or...

We have to be honest with each other, and ourselves: Whoever Joe Biden nominates to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is probably going to be confirmed. Unless they are a secret serial killer who confesses during their confirmation hearing, or has a “I hate the USA!” neck tattoo, Democrats have the votes to put them on the court. When the conclusion is foregone, strategy matters even more than usual – how Republicans go about this process can and will have an impact in what matters even more: the 2022 elections. That’s why I suggest they simply let it...

Arguably the USSR crumbled because everybody was lying to everybody else, so that nothing could be believed, including (especially) economic transactions. With the Biden Administration, the US has entered this same territory. Anyone paying attention can see that the occupant of the White House lapses into dementia on a regular and accelerating basis. In moments of crisis, he is quietly sent out to have some ice cream and go shopping while the hidden hands that make the real decisions (and make them badly) take over. The propaganda efforts, a joint project of the media and the progressives in control of...

I have distinct and incredibly fond memories of eating frozen pizza as a kid. It was generally an "every now and then treat." And then, WHAM. College happened, and suddenly frozen pizza went from "cute tradition" to "literal lifestyle." I know I'm not the only one here. And the number of brands out there?! Staggering. Now that I'm a grown adult who actually cooks for a living, I'm usually too busy cooking up something not pizza-related...but TBH, I live for a frozen pizza every now and then. That said, the number of choices out there is overwhelming. Have I ever...

It's not just Justin Trudeau who's running away from a peaceful protest. Other Canadian leaders are doing so as well. For the past several days, the world’s longest convoy, made up of truckers, has been slowly traveling across Canada from Vancouver east to Ottawa, the country’s capital city. They are protesting a new Canadian policy that mandates that truckers must be vaccinated to cross into Canada, even if they are Canadian citizens. In response to this peaceful protest, Justin Trudeau has run away and hidden, while in Nova Scotia, the political class has already lined up the penalities for any...

Few exist in our nation who are better able -- and inexplicably willing -- than Keith Olbermann to afford us a portal through which we may view the mindset of your average left-wing digressive on the topic of what is necessary to heal America’s present cultural divide. Last week, Olbermann publicly condemned Biden -- and even called for his resignation -- due to his administration’s failure over the last year to defend the country from what he called -- by way of incredible hyperbole -- the “terrorists” who reside amongst us throughout this country, as exemplified by those who entered...

Turkey's Islamist government is set to complete a pair of construction projects in New York City that, among other uses, will house Turkish-American students and expose Muslim youth to Turkish propaganda and extremism. However, Turkey's indoctrination of Muslim youths isn't the only reason why New Yorkers should oppose the Islamist government's real estate plans. A notorious Turkish foundation involved in numerous cases of child abuse and rape will fund and administer one of these dormitories, exposing vulnerable immigrant youths to sexual exploitation. The U.S.-based Türken Foundation, an organization set up jointly by two other religious foundations, Ensar and Türgev, is...

This week the Democratic National Committee gave Justice Steven Breyer the hook, announcing that he was retiring before he’d firmly decided to do so. When he finally responded, he made clear his intention to remain on the bench until Biden’s nominee was confirmed, which at best likely will be sometime this summer if ever. As part of a deal he made with congressman and House majority whip Jim Clyburn when he was on the ropes in the primaries, President Biden promised to nominate to this significant position a black woman, and three candidates’ names -- a weak bench if the...
