Again, the commentary is presented from an Amero-centric perspective because, indeed, at this particular time in history, America is at the heart of the geopolitical milieu. Much of what has been happening has been influenced by the actions of those in control of the government of the United States. For example, when Donald Trump was president, Russian leader Vladimir Putin held in check his aggressive nature—or at least the Restrainer, the Holy Spirit, did so. At any rate, Putin threatened Ukraine because of its leaders talking about joining NATO on occasion. Mr. Trump is said to have let it be...

It is blatantly apparent that the world is embracing the sexual immorality down-slide. It is said that we must keep up with the trends of history, so many major corporations are eager to recognize claims of transgender activists and promoters. It has established the greatest confusion among people that the world has ever seen. The demands of the so-called LBGTQ+ movement are put in first place as if any other response would be worse than death itself. Yet, that part of our population is less than ten percent. Why is this happening? One of the major happenings that signal the...

As I understand the future sequence of events, there will be the Rapture of the Church (I Thess. 4:13-18), the 7-year Tribulation Period (Dan. 9:24-27), the Second Coming of Jesus (Jn. 14:1-6; Acts 1:10-11), the 1,000-year reign of Jesus on earth (Dan. 2:35; Zech. 14:9; Matt. 25:31; Rev. 5:10; Rev. 20:1-6), Satan will be released on earth for an unspecified length of time (Rev. 20:7-8), and eventually there will be a new heaven and new earth (Psa. 102:25-26; Isa. 65:17; 66:22; Matt. 24:35; II Per. 3:13; Rev. 20:11; Rev. 21:1-2).

Is it time to rethink the census and other surveys that measure changes in the U.S. population? Policymakers and demographers have been asking that question since results released by the U.S. Census Bureau this month showed Black, Hispanic, American Indian and other minority residents were undercounted at greater rates in 2020 than in the previous decade. On the top of that, results from a version of its most comprehensive survey that compares year-to-year changes in U.S. life had to be scrapped because disruptions caused by the pandemic produced fewer responses in 2020. “The current model of coming up with a...

Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Proverbs 31:30 Women are like regular people only smaller and more insane. Oh, now do not go screaming you sexist misogynist when everyone knows a misogynist is just a man who hates women as much as women hate women. If the truth were known you would have to suspect feminism was invented by a misogynist. Women gave up all their honor and dignity so they could let men have sex whenever and with whoever they wanted and she was left to raise...

Massachusetts.In the Rhode Island opinion, written by District Judge William E. Smith, there are several interesting observations. Judge Smith observes it is the burden of the...

To understand current events, you need to understand history, and to understand history, you need to study the maps. I've been doing this for a while, and now I have enough of them to make a Ukraine map study thread. Naturally, your opinion may differ, but maps are history frozen in time. In an important way, maps are the historical record. . Russia purchased Crimea from the Ottoman Empire in the same manner that the USA purchased Alaska from Russia. (In gold, FWIW.) If Russian Crimea has to be handed over to Ukraine, again, then for sure we have to...

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki had her feet held to the fire by New York Post reporter Steven Nelson over Hunter Biden’s business dealings in China and Russia and she did not like it. “I’ve got a quick clarification and two questions about presidential conflicts of interest in foreign affairs. The first brief clarification is: The New York Times reported this week that the First Son remains under criminal investigation. Does the President still intend to stay out of that case?” the reporter said to begin his questioning. Psaki was able to stealthily avoid directly answering the question by...

Hunter Biden. Anthony Fauci. Afghanistan. The border. As Senate Republicans feel increasingly bullish about November, where they are fighting to regain control of Congress, they are floating using a new majority to dig into President Biden and his administration starting in 2023. The potential probes underscore both the headaches awaiting Democrats if the House or Senate flip heading into 2024, but also the shifting power dynamics within the Senate GOP conference where a stream of retirements of more pragmatic-minded senators is elevating newer, more combative Republicans. “I’m sure there will be plenty of ingenious individuals thinking about what to do...
