Bee Nguyen called immigration enforcement agency 'rogue,' 'cruel' A Georgia Democratic nominee repeatedly called to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and argued that carrying out the country's immigration laws is rooted in "white supremacy" and "xenophobia." Bee Nguyen, Georgia Democrats' nominee for secretary of state, has a long history of anti-ICE rhetoric. Nguyen's statewide run in Georgia comes roughly five years after the Democrat joined the state legislature, replacing Stacey Abrams, who resigned in favor of a failed gubernatorial campaign. Nguyen won a primary runoff by 54 points in late June and will face Republican incumbent Brad Raffensperger...

One writer describes how air travel industry insiders warned him this was happening. n America, Pete Buttigieg is proving to be the most incompetent Secretary of Transportation in American history. Confronted with thousands of canceled flights, he offers tips about how to value cash refunds compared to refunds in the form of miles. That’s bad. What’s worse is that a writer for a trend site claims to have talked with European insiders and learned that the problem with flights is not limited to America; it’s worldwide and deliberate. SNIP And that’s where we get to an article by Alex Krainer,...

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemGenesis 31Jacob Flees From Laban 31 Jacob heard that Laban’s sons were saying, “Jacob has taken everything our father owned and has gained all this wealth from what belonged to our father.” 2 And Jacob noticed that Laban’s attitude toward him was not what it had been. 3 Then the Lord said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you.” 4 So Jacob sent word to Rachel and Leah to come out to the fields where his flocks were. 5 He said to...

In the months ahead, Jane’s Revenge will serve as combative tip of the progressive spear. une 24, 2022 was a momentous day for both life and democracy. The SCOTUS decision in Dobbs, hardly a cliffhanger by standards of the Roberts court, sent the issue of abortion back to the states where it belonged and put the endemic malevolence and selective outrage of the Democrat party on full display. Before that anticipated decision, Democrats were already circling the wagons, huddling into a troop of see-no-evil monkeys and averting the glare of political violence in plain sight. Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi,...

How twisted is Chief Justice John Roberts? Let us count the ways. The conservative movement worked unceasingly for almost a half-century to undo Roe v. Wade, the 7-2 Supreme Court ruling that shocked the world by abruptly legalizing abortion from coast to coast in 1973. Yet Roberts, who was nominated by a conservative president, chose not to take part in overturning the precedent that provided the angry Left with a power base and endless fundraising opportunities as it poisoned American politics for generations. Roe seeped into everything and the abortion establishment vilified anyone seeking even the slightest rollback. Out of...

Forcing people to embrace ideologies that go against the deepest tenets of their faith is about as un-American as it gets. On May 31, 2022, President Biden delivered to the American people "A Proclamation on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, And Intersex Pride Month 2022." A presidential proclamation is a directive that grants to the chief executive of the United States certain powers of mandatory ceremony and observance. The power of presidential proclamations is especially operative in enforcing mandatory observances in the federal military and civilian workplaces, as those are the domains over which the president holds direct constitutional authority....

The toll the labor shortage is taking on the U.S. economy isn't getting better. There's a partial solution that's got bipartisan support but hardly any momentum behind it: allow more migrants into the country. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are about twice as many open jobs as there are people looking for work. This has employers competing for staff, often with higher wages. Higher labor costs often get passed onto customers, contributing to the highest inflation in four decades.

Jews have been fleeing Russia in droves | Natalia Kolesnikova/AFP via Getty Images As Vladimir Putin’s war rages on for the fifth month in Ukraine and repression suffocates civil liberties back home, Russian Jews are worried they’ll soon become the Kremlin’s targets. Jews have been fleeing Russia in droves; those who’ve stayed behind are terrified of directly criticizing the war, which Putin has cynically claimed he launched to “de-Nazify” Ukraine. “In our congregation, we don’t talk about any political issues,” said a Moscow rabbi who asked not to be named. He added that after a 2011 crackdown on protests linked...

Channel Nine have apologised after a television news reporters was photographed at a protest against the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe vs Wade decision holding a sign mocking Christianity. Lana Murphy was covering the protest in Melbourne when she was pictured holding a sign that said: 'Mary (the virgin) should've had an abortion.' The poster was then uploaded to her personal Instagram account. The photo was widely shared on social media, with Catholic writer and Twitter user Joel Agius describing it as a 'disgusting message of Christian hate'. Following the backlash from religious groups and community members, the network issues a...

VIDEO Respect and thanks to America This is a war of darkness against light, not a conflict. Ukraine is on the side of light and truth. Russia lies and promotes goals of Communism. Scripture tells us to call black black and white white. Russia is an aggressor that created a propaganda system of its own lies, slandered the Ukrainians, and treacherously attacked a peaceful state. Ukraine is defending its national territory. Thousands of civilians and soldiers are dying from the aggressive actions of Russia. Please understand for us praying for peace between Ukraine and Russia is like: - pray for...

On Friday’s broadcast of “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks argued that the 2022 midterm elections are ultimately going to be about the state of the economy and not abortion. Brooks stated that the lasting electoral impact of the court’s ruling and the subsequent debate on abortion will be “Limited. I mean, it’ll mobilize some voters clearly in some places.” He added, “My feel is, the election’s going to be about inflation, about the economy. 83% of the country thinks the economy’s in bad shape. That’s an unprecedented number. And so, that’s just, I think, going to be...

The Texas Supreme Court reversed a lower court on Friday evening and allowed a pre-Roe 1925 law prohibiting abortions to go into effect. The state supreme court’s order is the latest addition in an ongoing feud between Texas government officials and abortion providers following the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Although the 1925 law prohibiting abortions was not enforced after Roe was decided in 1973, the law remained on the books. A Harris County judge temporarily blocked the abortion ban after abortion clinics sued. The abortion clinics argued the law was effectively repealed when the...

“‘Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits’” (Matthew 7:19–20). We can spot false prophets by the kind of people they attract. Their converts will have the same kind of superficial, self-centered, unbiblical orientation as they do. Of this sort of attraction Peter says, “Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned” (2 Peter 2:2). Many folks gravitate to false teachers because those men propagate what the majority of people want to hear and...

Actress Jessica Chastain took to social media on the Fourth of July to proclaim, “Happy ‘Independence’ Day from me and my reproductive rights,” and shared a photo of herself holding up two middle fingers. The Zero Dark Thirty star was commenting on the U.S. Supreme Court recently overruling Roe v. Wade, holding in the Dobbs case that the Constitution does not include a right to abortion and returning abortion laws to state legislatures.
