At the beginning of 2022, a photo of a chained woman found in China’s Xuzhou city, a victim of human trafficking, went viral on social media. Recently, two women were tied up and shamed by COVID-19 policy enforcers in southern China’s Guangzhou city for violating strict pandemic rules, sparking a public outcry on Chinese social media. U.S.-based China expert Tang Jingyuan pointed out that when the local authorities have the power to punish individuals without a trial, it indicates the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has incited various groups to struggle against each other under its “modern governance” model. According to...

Again, I want to set up a thread for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! I do not see any, so here goes.

Net migration into Britain is 170,000 higher than the country's previous annual record Prominent conservatives have expressed their outrage at Britain's governing Conservative party that has overseen a record-high level of net migration at a staggering 504,000 in the year to June. Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed the total numbe of long-term arrivals into the U.K. for the reporting period was 1.1 million, with 560,000 emigrating out of the country long term... Prominent conservatives have been quick to leap on the figures as an example of a supposedly-conservative government losing control of its borders. "These net...

Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” Luke 17:17-18Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Day presents us with the perfect opportunity to look at this particular aspect of our faith. We are called to be eternally and deeply grateful. How grateful to God are you?Perhaps we all...

Republicans appear to have defended every U.S. House seat they won in California in 2020, despite determined Democratic efforts to take them back. The last undecided race in the nation, the contest in the newly-created 13th district in the Central Valley, Republican farmer John Duarte appeared to hold a narrow lead of several hundred votes over Assemblyman Adam Gray (D-Merced), such that some analysts were ready to call the race.

Each year at this time, schoolchildren all over America are taught the official Thanksgiving story, and newspapers, radio, TV, and magazines devote vast amounts of time and space to it. It is all very colorful and fascinating. It is also very deceiving. This official story is nothing like what really happened. It is a fairy tale, a whitewashed and sanitized collection of half-truths which divert attention away from Thanksgiving's real meaning. The official story has the Pilgrims boarding the Mayflower, coming to America, and establishing the Plymouth colony in the winter of 1620–21. This first winter is hard, and half...

The Colorado Springs shooting suspect’s gender identity will not stop the authorities from bringing in hate crime charges against them, legal experts claim. … The suspect’s gender identity is “not relevant," Neama Rahmani, president of West Coast Trial Lawyers and a former federal prosecutor, told Insider. "Obviously the defense will want to get it in, but it’s not a defense." "It’s certainly something that the defense would try to use, but it’s not in and of itself a bar from hate crime charges depending on what the other evidence is," Brian Levin, professor of criminal justice at California State University,...

Liberals still want to pretend, or pretend to pretend, that the “Great Replacement Theory” isn’t real or happening, even when it plays out right in front of them. That includes the Democratic leader in the U.S. Senate arguing that America needs open borders and amnesty for illegal immigrants because Americans aren’t “reproducing” enough, as well as the dismissal of the top election official in left-wing San Francisco getting booted to advance “racial equity.”

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov argued on Thursday that Russia's latest attacks against Ukraine's power grid weren't aimed at the civilian population, urging Kiev to "end the suffering" of its people by accepting Moscow's terms to end the war. Russia's requests for ending the attacks include Ukraine proclaiming political and military neutrality, recognizing Crimea as Russian territory and granting independence to Donetsk and Lugansk.Despite millions of Ukrainians currently without power across the country, Peskov told reporters that Russia's military pays "special attention to avoid striking social targets... As for targets that are directly or indirectly related to military potential, they are...

As noted yesterday in Loose Ends, the Washington Post thinks the most salient thing about Thanksgiving is its climate footprint, because that’s how cultists always think about everything. As a famous Twitter account holder might say, “Sad!” So let’s have some enjoyable fun with the day.

The Bible In Paintings ~ Encouragement for Appreciating and Applying God's Word ~ JESUS AND THE WOMAN AT THE WELL ֎ Featuring 31 Paintings ֎ J O H N CHAPTER 4 The Pharisees heard that Jesus was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John, although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples.

So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his...

… Ahead of the epic downfall of his cryptocurrency exchange this month, the 30-year-old disgraced entrepreneur was associated with the purchase of a tony townhouse in the nation’s capital. The D.C. dwelling was bought by his brother Gabe Bankman-Fried’s nonprofit, Guarding Against Pandemics, which Sam partly funded, Realtor reported. The April purchase of the $3.289 million townhouse was meant to show that “S.B.F. and his network were in D.C. to stay,” according to a piece by Puck. Shortly before FTX’s epic exposure and resulting collapse, the pandemic-preventing nonprofit reportedly hosted two back-to-back parties at the address, one for Democratic dignitaries...
