I was born a Muslim in Somalia. Then I became an atheist. But secular tools alone can’t equip us for civilizational war. In 2002, I discovered a 1927 lecture by Bertrand Russell entitled “Why I Am Not a Christian.” It did not cross my mind as I read it that one day, nearly a century after he delivered it to the South London branch of the National Secular Society, I would be compelled to write an essay with precisely the opposite title. The year before, I had publicly condemned the terrorist attacks of the 19 men who had hijacked passenger...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemActs 14In Iconium 14 At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue. There they spoke so effectively that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed. 2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the other Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers. 3 So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders. 4 The people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of NPR’s “All Things Considered,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated that she and President Joe Biden “think greater income and growth in China is good for the globe and good for the United States as well.” And that while the U.S. will take actions to protect its national security, “we will try to target them narrowly so that we’re not imposing broad harm on China’s economy.”

"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." ☰ Matthew 28 1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see...

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey first lady Tammy Murphy on Wednesday launched a bid for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in next year’s contest. Her candidacy, announced Wednesday, puts her in the running to become the first woman elected to the Senate from New Jersey. The Democratic primary already features Rep. Andy Kim and could include Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, who has lost significant party support amid federal bribery charges but has not ruled out a run in 2024. “We need a senator who will work every single day to lower the cost of living, protect abortion...

the LEFT'S plans to control state elections.It's PUT OUT THERE for all to see..wonder if RINO McDaniel's knows this?

There is a new law in New York State that allows tenants to stay in the home they are renting even if they do not pay. If you know anyone who owns a rental property, hopefully, things are going well. New York State has put a ton of new laws in place that makes things more clear in a ton of different aspects of the landlord-tenant relationship. If you have someone who is a horrible tenant, look how long they can LEGALLY and technically live in your rental unit! An entire year! The new Attorney General, Letitia James, has a...

Wednesday, November 15th is Z-Day for the War in Ukraine. CIA Chief William Burns will arrive in Kiev for urgent, secret meetings with Zelensky. It is worth asking: How come Burns is on an urgent mission to Ukraine?The answer to the question is that Ukraine is imploding. The crumbling of the Zelensky regime is unsurprising: Ukraine has been sustaining far too many casualties to survive for much longer. Ukraine either must find a way to make a deal with Russia or face an internal rebellion.

President Biden’s initiated bilateral summit with Xi Jinping this week in San Francisco, as both attend the 30th Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders’ meeting, provides considerable risks for the United States’ national security. Ironically, the risks should be all on Xi’s side as his increasing paranoia and purging of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has warped the Party and government, coupled with the collapse of the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) economy and other major social, demographic problems that place Xi in a uniquely vulnerable position. In reality, Xi should be treated as the supplicant in dire need of...

Iran does not recognize Israel's existence, while Israel has long threatened military action against Iran if diplomacy fails to curb its disputed nuclear activity. Iran's supreme leader delivered a clear message to the head of Hamas when they met in Tehran in early November, according to three senior officials: You gave us no warning of your Oct. 7 attack on Israel and we will not enter the war on your behalf. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told Ismail Haniyeh that Iran - a longtime backer of Hamas - would continue to lend the group its political and moral support, but wouldn't intervene...

Marina Medvin @MarinaMedvin: What he said. All of it. Link

Last week, over at “Just the News,” the headline blared: “Trump leads Biden in 5 battleground states in New York Times poll.” Other than a feelgood rush, so what? The official date for the ‘24 elections is November 5, though Election Day has become a nugget surrounded by gobs of ballot-stuffing and electronic hijinks. November 5 is now less than a year hence. Whatever the polls report today won’t necessarily reflect outcomes then, even if they’re honestly tallied. Let’s venture that next year’s elections are held (yes, you read that right). The results, either way, will inevitably be disputed --...

Brigitte Gabriel @ACTBrigitte: WATCH THIS.

On Nov. 10, The Federalist Society invited journalist and founder of The Free Press Bari Weiss to deliver the Barbara K. Olsen Memorial Address at their national convention. Weiss, by her own admission, was taken aback by the invitation as she is not a lawyer and she considers herself a liberal. But Barbara Olsen was a political commentator whom Weiss respected. She was also a passenger aboard American Airlines Flight 77, which was flown into the Pentagon by terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001.

With the Grey Cup, the Montreal Alouettes and the reigning champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers now in Hamilton, the Canadian Football League’s championship week is taking shape. Hamilton’s manager of tourism and events says the first of several Grey Cup activities got underway Monday and more are coming “at every price point” for football fans including the festival. “In addition … to big concerts like Carrie Underwood at the FirstOntario Centre on Friday, there are also 40 other musical performances at the Built in the Hammer Street Festival,” Ryan McHugh said. “So just tons of stuff to do — the Santa...

Eight suspects between the ages of 13 and 17 are in custody after the fatal beating of a student outside his Las Vegas high school earlier this month, local authorities said Tuesday. The teenagers will be charged with murder in connection with the death of Jonathan Lewis, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Lewis, 17, died on Nov. 7 of injuries sustained in a “physical altercation” with more than a dozen other individuals six days earlier, police previously said. On Tuesday, a department spokesman said that 10 individuals were believed to be involved in the assault, with two...

Pictured below are a dozen of the firearms purchased by private buyers at the Dallas event on October 21, 2023.Private buyers at the Dallas gun turn-in event, also known by the Orwellian term “buyback,” were able to purchase numerous firearms at bargain prices. The gift cards ran out in the first hour, and the first ten vehicles in line. Before then, prices tended to be a bit higher than the value of gift cards offered. After the cards ran out, prices tended to drop. There were about a dozen private buyers at the event. Some purchased items other than guns....
