There was a palpable sense of crisis in the Gaza Strip today. Thousands of residents raced to flee their homes in the hours after Israeli officials called for more than a million civilians to evacuate south in just 24 hours, ahead of a potential ground invasion. And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel took the unusual step of delivering a televised address on the Jewish Sabbath to say that the campaign against Hamas, which over the weekend carried out the worst terrorist attack in the country in 50 years, is just beginning. The Health Ministry in Gaza said that airstrikes...

"The law of the Lord is perfect. . . . The commandment of the Lord is pure. . . . The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether" (Ps. 19:7-9). God’s Word is infallible. Infallibility refers to the truth of Scripture as a whole, whereas inerrancy focuses on the accuracy of every single word. Like inerrancy, infallibility is grounded in the character of God. God cannot lie and does not change (1 Sam. 15:29). He is thoroughly consistent in everything He does, and His Word reflects those characteristics. The psalmist wrote, "The sum of Thy word is...

Alternate media never gets the credit it deserves. Elon Musk has taken over Twitter (now “X”) and allowed free speech. In the process wokesters -- particularly in the intellectual and moral cesspool absurdly continued to be called “higher education” -- and media have exposed themselves as ignorant embracers of bestiality. Hamas’s snuff films posted there establish what they are. The compromised and partisan reporters on the ground never did this, and sentient readers have every reason to view mainstream media as pap for imbeciles. What exactly do I mean by “wokesters” -- what do they believe and why? Richard Samuelson...

on October 9, 2023. (Miriam Alster/Flash90) The Defense Ministry says it has authorized the donations of thousands of items for personal protection to IDF soldiers. The move comes amid complaints from many soldiers during the mobilization of more than 300,000 reservists that they lack proper equipment. There have been similar complaints from the standing army. The ministry says it has approved offers to donate more than 50,000 ceramic vests, 20,000 helmets and tens of thousands of other items...

Here, Vanguard, et al are doing for real what Stalin and the USSR were accused of doing. Except it is all of Ukraine that is being "liquidated" - physically, and before the eyes of the world.When people talk about "Ukrainian grain" they're actually talking about grain that is now owned by US and EU mega-corporations such as Vanguard Group, Kopernik Global Investors, BNP Asset Management Holding, Goldman Sachs-owned NN Investment Partners Holdings, and Norges Bank Investment Management, which manages Norway’s sovereign wealth fund.Several large US pension funds, foundations, and university endowments are also invested in Ukrainian land through NCH Capital...

New York CNN — A billboard truck drove near Harvard’s campus Wednesday displaying the names and photos of Harvard students whose organizations signed a statement blaming solely Israel for the deadly attacks by Hamas. The “doxxing truck” appeared days after the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups, a coalition of Harvard student groups, earlier this week released a statement that held “the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” following the attacks by Hamas that have killed more than 1,200 Israelis and more than 25 American citizens. More than 1,400 in Gaza have also been killed since Israel started strikes on...

Arras, France – A horrific act of Islamic terrorism unfolded on the grounds of the Gambetta-Carnot school complex in Arras, France, leaving one literature teacher dead and three others injured at his former High School. The assailant, identified as Mohammed Mogouchkov, a 20-year-old illegal Chechen Muslim migrant who had already been considered a potential threat to national security (S File) but was never deported, launched a brutal attack while shouting the Islamic battle cry, “Allahu Akbar,” sending shockwaves throughout the nation once again.Islamic attacks in France are part of a new normal in a country struggling with mass illegal migration...

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban says the European Union (EU) has “legally raped Poland and Hungary” by “forcing through” a new Migration Pact which requires all EU member-states to make so-called “solidarity contributions” during times of high illegal immigration. Despite opposing EU border states’ policy of allowing boat migrants to land in Europe in large numbers, often facilitated by nonprofits funded by the German government, Poland and Hungary will now be required to take a share of the migrants, take over examining their asylum claims, or make “financial contributions” to provide for them.Orban has vowed to fight back against the...

Wood from three different trees cut by Vikings found at L'Anse aux Meadows been precisely dated to 1021 CE - 1,000 years ago this year. The Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows, located at the tip of Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula, was discovered in the 1960s, but has never been precisely dated. Previous estimates about when the Viking crossed the Atlantic and made their way to present day Newfoundland and Labrador have been based on Norse sagas and radiocarbon dating that typically has an error margin of about 50 years. The best estimates put their arrival at around 990 at...

Republican Jeff Landry won a landslide election on Saturday to flip the Louisiana governor’s mansion red in one of three main gubernatorial elections this year, shocking political observers with a victory that saves him the trouble of having to face a Democrat in a November runoff. Landry defeated Democrat Shawn Wilson and the rest of the field in Louisiana’s gubernatorial election, winning about 52 percent of the vote. In Louisiana, governor elections are first open to a full field of all candidates from either party in what is known as a jungle primary—and then the two top vote-getters generally advance...

Israel is on the verge of launching a major invasion. Over the last three days, the government has called up over 300,000 military reservists. It is massing forces near the Gaza Strip, and it has started bombarding the territory. In the early morning of October 13, it asked the United Nations to evacuate 1.1 million people from the north of Gaza, and later that day, it dropped leaflets in the territory telling people to move south. The question is no longer whether Israel will send its military into Gaza but rather how deep Israeli forces will go into the enclave...

Iconic actress Piper Laurie has died aged 91. Laurie - best-known for her star turn in Carrie as the title character's demented mother, passed away at her Los Angeles home on Saturday. The star, who began her career as a contract player during the golden age of Hollywood, had been ill for some time. Manager Marion Rosenberg called the star 'a beautiful human being and one of the great talents of our time.' In Carrie, Laurie played Margaret White, the fanatically religious and abusive mother of the title character, in a 1976 film adaptation of Stephen King's novel by Brian...

A transgender student has shed tears of happiness after a judge dismissed a lawsuit that contested her admission into a sorority at the University of Wyoming. Wyoming U.S. District Court Judge Alan Johnson, 84, ruled that he could not override how the private, voluntary organization defined a woman and the order that she not belong. In the lawsuit, six members of the 40-strong Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority chapter challenged 21-year-old Artemis Langford's admission by casting doubt on whether sorority rules allowed a transgender woman. The sorority sisters who sued said Langford's presence in their sorority house made them uncomfortable -...

"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." "Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise." "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness." --- Revelation 20 1 And...

A group of gas and construction trade groups filed a federal lawsuit Thursday challenging the legality of New York’s ban on gas stoves and furnaces in new residential buildings in a move to challenge Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul's push for green energy. The case was filed by the National Association of Home Builders and the National Propane Gas Association, among others and names the New York Department of State as a defendant on the lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that New York does not have the legal ability to enforce the gas stove ban because a preexisting federal law, called the...

Many people hear Revelation and, like a word association test, their minds immediately go to their position on the millennial reign of Christ. Most recently when a congregant heard that I was there to speak on Revelation, he felt compelled to identify himself as a premillennialist, as though that settled the matter and satisfied the book’s purpose. On another occasion, a member of the congregation lingered to inform me that he was a staunch partial preterist. He went so far as to say that Revelation cannot be understood apart from an early date for its writing. While hermeneutical approaches and...

Documents that were labeled “top secret” in Arabic were discovered on the bodies of dead Hamas terrorists this week after they launched an unprecedented terrorist attack against Israel.The documents showed that the detailed plans Palestinian terrorists were given ordered them to “target elementary schools and a youth center” in Kfar Sa’ad, a kibbutz in Israel, and to “kill as many people as possible.”The documents also ordered the soldiers to take hostages and return back to Gaza as fast as possible. More than 1,300 Israelis were murdered, 3,000+ more were injured, and well over 100 hostages were taken.

I need a Higher Power G-d if you will right now more than ever as I consider the "Fort Apache Israel Horror Show" that played out last Saturday. I was in tears for a multitude of reasons as I listened to Glenn Beck and Megyn Kelly, both of whom were hostile to President Trump back in 2016, discuss the horrible videos of this evil and the notion of putting them out...

Nearly a year after the American public was informed that Joe Biden had classified documents at his home and think tank office, lawmakers in Congress have a pressing question: Was there anything in those memos valuable to his son Hunter’s overseas business clients? The issue catapulted to prominence recently when House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, R-Ohio, showed up at the House Oversight Committee’s first impeachment inquiry hearing and said there was real reason to fear that Hunter Biden’s clients had an interest in the memos that Joe Biden improperly secreted away at his home and office. “Obviously, his son...

Hamas’ obsession with the evil [sic] of Jews down the centuries is more or less indistinguishable from the Nazis, writes James Campbell. ...So while Hamas might be an Islamist organisation, aside from the local twist about the Caliphate and the Balfour Declaration, its obsession with the evil of Jews down the centuries is more or less indistinguishable from the Nazis. People will say that Hamas’s views aren’t necessarily the view of the people they rule. But it’s also the case that although the last Palestinian elections were held as long ago as 2006, Hamas got 44 per cent of the...
