Reports from Thursday's newswire suggest the weight of the evidence against a couple of very high-profile Democrats is finally swinging the discussion of their corrupt actions, even in the media, to the side of the righteous.

Recently, while working on the third novel, MESSIAH, following the first, REVELATIONS, and the second, MICHAEL, I was caught up in thinking how near the Rapture must be. I tried to get my mind around how near we might be to the time Israel will fall for the False Messiah, Antichrist. The words of Winston Churchill came to mind in his 1942 speech at Mansion House in London. England had just survived Hitler’s Blitz and the horrific bombing. Rommel’s tank onslaught in Egypt had just been routed by the forces of Great Britain and others at Alamein. People wanted to...

Paris (AFP) – A loosely federated network of scientists in more than two dozen countries plan acts of civil disobedience starting this week to highlight the climate crisis, members of Scientist Rebellion told AFP. Their non-violent actions are timed to the release Monday of a landmark report from the UN's climate science advisory panel laying out options for slashing carbon pollution and controversial schemes for extracting CO2 from the air, they said in interviews. Scientist Rebellion targets universities, research institutes and major scientific journals, prodding them and their staff to speak out more forcefully on what they describe as the...

“‘For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished’” (Matthew 5:18). To be a follower of Jesus Christ is to accept what He says about Scripture and to wholeheartedly echo Peter’s sentiment: “You have words of eternal life” (John 6:68). The privilege of knowing Christ and His Word also carries with it certain essential obligations. First, we must receive God’s Word exactly for what it is, “the word implanted, which is able to save your souls” (James 1:21). We should be completely...

In 2 Timothy 4:10, Paul writes, “For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica.” Demas used to travel with Paul. How would you travel with Paul and see the miracles and hear that man preach and then forsake him? The Bible clearly says, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15). There is no holding pattern with God. You may start the race, but you still have to finish too. That’s not legalism;...

An embattled foreign country is providing lessons to learn for an America stuck in a rising tide of crime. Last week, following a wave of terror attacks and murder of Israelis, Prime Minister Bennett publicly encouraged Israel’s private gun-owners to have their weapons with them at all times. In addition, the government added emergency funding to boost the law enforcement budget, and law enforcement is actively pursuing all terror elements with alacrity. Further, many among Israeli’s military, which includes most 19- to 22-year-olds, are carrying their weapons off-base. The terrorists have been eliminated in a couple of cases by private...

With Russia’s central bank having just profoundly altered the international trade and monetary system by linking the Russian ruble to both gold and commodities, journalists in Moscow asked me to write a Q and A article on what these developments mean, and the ramifications of these changes on the Russian ruble, the US dollar, the gold price and the global system of currencies. This article has been published on the RT.com website here.Since RT.com is now blocked and censored in many Western locations such as the EU, UK, US and Canada, and since many readers may not be able to...

How Will I Teach My Grandchildren What Is Right When I Was Wrong So Often? By Cory Franklin “Everything I was sure, or was taught to be sure, was impossible has happened” — Winston Churchill Looking back now, I ask myself: How could I have been so wrong about so many things? I was wrong about: Patriotism and love for your country, no matter what its faults. In grade school, I learned the famous quotation, “My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.” That was the appropriate quote, not the...

We are increasingly seeing a new term being used by thinking writers when it comes to both global and national politics. What is it, and how should we look at it? The term The Big Picture basically answers the question: “If we continue to follow this societal, economical, and cultural path, where do we end up as a society?” In reverse, you can use the concept to define the desired end state and work backward to see the necessary steps to attain it. There are two Big Pictures at play in America today, and they are totally incompatible. I call...

Odessa (Ukraine) (AFP) – Air strikes rocked Ukraine's strategic Black Sea port of Odessa early Sunday, AFP reporters said, but there were no casualties, according to the army. The Russian defence ministry confirmed the strike. "This morning, high-precision sea and air-based missiles destroyed an oil refinery and three storage facilities for fuel and lubricants near the city of Odessa, from which fuel was supplied to a group of Ukrainian troops in the direction of Mykolaiv," it said. At least three huge columns of black smoke and flames rose into the sky over an industrial zone. The rocket attacks came as...

The sixth stage of aligning NASA's James Webb Space Telescope's mirrors to its scientific instruments so they will create the most accurate and focused images possible has concluded. While the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) continues its cool down, optics teams have successfully aligned the rest of the observatory's onboard instruments to Webb's mirrors.

It was an optimistic Marine Le Pen campaigning in the Alsace region of France on Friday. Le Pen, the National Rally candidate for President, saying there is a "great dynamic" on the ground in her favor.

Obamacare costs have more than tripled since its passage, according to a market observer. That's Joe Biden's 'big f---ing deal.' This wouldn't exactly be news to anyone who has to buy Obamacare health care insurance... But for perspective, here's the latest on the 2010 government health care takeover that had been so vaunted in the press as Your-Government-Here-To-Help: (tweet at link) Tripled? We've got 7.9% inflation at last count, so this 'tripling,' even over the course of 12 years, with compounding increments, tops that. So much for President Obama's claim that his signature health care bill would cut insurance costs...

,/A>I first heard the phrase “Great Reset” way back in 2014. Christine Lagarde, who was head of the IMF at the time, was suddenly becoming very vocal about global centralization. It was an agenda that was generally only whispered about in the dark corners of institutional white papers and the secretive meetings of banking elites, but now these people were becoming rather loud about it. Lagarde was doing a Q&A at the World Economic Forum and the notion of the “Reset” was very deliberately brought up; what the project entailed was vague, but the basic root of it was a...

What hath Brandon wrought? It has been unseasonably cold in Washington D.C. this spring. The blossoms on the cherry tree on my front lawn had barely bloomed when a cold snap and heavy wind-driven rain scattered the petals all over my front lawn. I stepped out front to pick up a box of herbs left there to be planted when a neighbor passed by. I don’t know him very well, but his virtue signaling was a rather good clue as to where his sympathies lay. His lawn was peppered with signs: ”Biden-Harris,” “Hate has no Home Here,” “Build Bridges not...

New requirement comes as border agents are bracing for historic surges of illegal migrants Battered by COVID-19, waves of illegal immigrants and fears of even larger surges ahead, Customs and Border Protection officers have a new burden: they must now be sure to use proper pronouns for LGBTQI+ migrants. The new requirement was included Thursday at the bottom of a much larger announcement by the Homeland Security Department concerning changes instituted on International Trans Day of Visibility. “Facilitating effective communication at U.S. ports of entry and beyond: CBP has provided a job aid and memorandum to all staff that will...

In California, the first reparations panel in the nation has spent two years trying to decide which African-Americans are eligible for reparations. According to the Associated Press, the state’s panel on reparations, which was first created following a law signed by Governor Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) in 2020, has been plagued with internal divisions over how many black Americans should receive financial compensation for alleged “racism.” Since it was first fomed in June, some of the panel’s nine members have argued that only direct descendants of actual slaves prior to the Civil War should receive handouts, while others call for a...
