“‘“The fear of the Lord, that is wisdom”’” (Job 28:28). Being wise begins with knowing God. The fear of the Lord is the most basic idea related to wisdom and is the key to understanding it. The Book of Proverbs especially teaches us that the fear of the Lord is inextricably linked to wisdom: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Prov. 1:7). Knowledge, wisdom, instruction, and understanding are often used as synonyms in Proverbs. The link between fear of the Lord and wisdom is also evident in Proverbs 9:10: “The fear...

I’ve been told I’m a bigmouth, a crass know-it-all who enjoys kicking people while they’re down — people like all the imbeciles who voted a demented grifter into the White House in 2020 and then tried to replace the old fart with a brainless, cackling DIE hire. To that I say, guilty as charged! So, without further ado, let me offer free life-coaching to all the fey losers on the left, crying into their/zey/zem’s decaf, gluten-free, free-range frappucchino. To Stephen King, whose many scary books I bought, read, and enjoyed: Write about what you know. You clearly don’t know jack...

Officers were out in force Wednesday evening to make sure Philadelphia remained safe after social media posts surfaced regarding looting and protests. "We're being very, very cautious," said Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel. "Make sure we protect our communities across the entire city, not just here in Center City." Authorities say they were prepared for possible disruptions as Election Day came and went.

Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu said on Thursday, a day after Donald Trump became U.S. president-elect, that the West should accept Russia was winning the Ukraine war and negotiate an end to it. -snip- The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump’s transition team had proposed that Kyiv could promise not to join NATO for 20 years in exchange for Washington agreeing to arm it heavily to deter a Russian attack. Russia says it will not comment on media reports, and that it would need to see the details of any plan before commenting. The Kremlin reacted cautiously on Wednesday...

While the details of this potential change to the U.S. electoral process are thin, the suggestion of the RNC co-chair seems to confirm many experts' fears that Donald Trump's return to the White House might significantly transform American democracy. A "blanket federal election process" is likely referring to a desire to standardize procedures at the national level instead of letting every state choose its own process; this might include the homogenization of the deadlines for mail-in ballots, absentee ballots, and when votes are counted across the country. Talking to Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday after her father-in-law's historic...

If Democrats had any brains, they’d listen to this guy.Reasonable Democrats such as Bill Maher and Ana Kasparian (a former Democrat, actually) have been talking about these kinds of voters for a long time. But the more leftist, so-called “progressive” Democrats have ignored voters like this, and will probably continue to ignore them in the future.Anyway, this is an awesome video:https://www.tiktok.com/@_ajtsanchez/video/7433898832137669918

The president-elect's team plans to force Kiev to suspend its NATO aspirations, sources have told the outlet Donald Trump's team is considering several potential plans to end the Ukraine conflict, which would require Kiev to drop its plans to join NATO in the foreseeable future and freeze hostilities along the current front line, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing sources. According to officials and aides familiar with the situation, the Trump team does not yet have a detailed plan, with different factions "set to compete to influence the Republican's foreign policy." Such "traditionally minded" Trump allies as Mike...

Here’s a sampling of some of the emails received by AT from lefty outfits in the wake of Tuesday night’s Restoration: From the Amalgamated Transit Union: Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) International President John Costa released the following statement on the election of Donald Trump as the 47th U.S. President, expressing deep concerns about our country's future. “This election has been one of the most divisive and contentious in modern American history. The stark contrast between the values championed by Kamala Harris and those espoused by Donald Trump was clear throughout the campaign. While we fought for unity, inclusivity, and progress,...

Below is my column in the New York Post on the developments in the pending Trump cases. I previously wrote that, if Trump prevailed in this election, it was likely that Special Counsel Jack Smith would “not see a jury in either of his cases.” This morning, Smith is reportedly in discussions on the possible dropping of his two federal cases against the president-elect. The prosecutorial campaigns appear to be collapsing with the political campaigns against Trump. Here is the column: After years of thrill-kill prosecutions, the thrill is gone for lawfare warriors. Election Day’s greatest losers may be special...

Today in America, there is no shortage of individuals who love "the lie" (2 Thess. 2:10-12). Whether one is conservative, progressive, liberal or a moderate (political or spiritual) all are quite receptive to a godless delusion and are willingly oblivious to the ETERNAL REALITIES of time and ETERNITY (John 3:16-17, Acts 4:12, Rom. 10:2-4, 3:23, 6:23, 1 John 4:10, Rev 20:11-15, Rev. 21, 22:1-5). Whether one is conservative, progressive, liberal, or moderate (political or spiritual) all are quite receptive to a godless delusion and are willingly oblivious to the ETERNAL REALITIES of time and ETERNITY. There is no shortage of...

DONALD Trump's reported plan to end the Ukraine war has emerged after Zelensky held a call congratulating the president-elect. -snip- Trump would freeze the conflict in place and establish a demilitarised zone down the locked front line, the Wall Street Journal now reports. Kyiv would not join Nato for 20 years, but the US would continue to arm Ukraine to the teeth to prevent Putin from invading again. Who would police the demilitarised zone remains unclear, according to the sources, but it wouldn't involve American troops or an international body. -snip- "We are not sending American men and women to...

Not the best way to drum up business. An ambulance slammed into a cyclist in Oregon — breaking his nose and smashing his bike — then billed him more than $1,800 for a ride to the hospital, according to a new lawsuit. William Hoesch, 71, is suing Columbia River Fire & Rescue for nearly $1 million, claiming an ambulance driver for the company left him with the outrageous bill along with permanent injuries and roughly $100,000 in medical expenses, oregonlive.com reported. Hoesch was pedaling through the tiny town of Rainier, near the Columbia River, in October 2022 when the big...

A senior Hamas official has called for an immediate end to Israel's war against the group in the Gaza Strip and a plan to achieve Palestinian statehood in remarks shared with Newsweek in the wake of former President Donald Trump's election victory. "The election of Trump as the 47th president of the USA is a private matter for the Americans," Hamas Political Bureau member and spokesperson Basem Naim told Newsweek, "but Palestinians look forward to an immediate cessation of the aggression against our people, especially in Gaza, and look for assistance in achieving their legitimate rights of freedom, independence, and...

With Kamala Harris having conceded the election to Donald Trump, and with Trump having won the popular vote, will Democrats stop their assault on Trump and the American people? Not likely. While there are a few close states not officially yet called, Trump is on his way to what we called several weeks ago, something close to a 312 – 226 Electoral College vote victory. He’s swept all seven swing states. He made New Hampshire and Virginia competitive, expanding his electoral map and forcing Democrats to spend resources in the race’s waning days. Best of all, he won a resounding...

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - A peaceful anti-Donald Trump rally was held in downtown Cleveland Wednesday night. The protest started off at the Free Stamp at East 9th and Lakeside headed South on East 9th and marched through the streets of downtown for about an hour. There were no known arrests.

Harris’s campaign was crippled by her ties to unpopular policies, Biden administration failures, authenticity issues, and a contentious nomination process. The presidential race was not unpredictable, as the now once again discredited polls swore to us. Instead, the great Trump comeback victory was clear by the last weeks of the campaign. The Republicans had made massive gains in voter registrations since 2020, when Trump had lost the Electoral College by only a few thousand strategically placed votes. Republicans began to master the transition to non-Election Day balloting—first engineered by the left in 2020 under the pretext of COVID. They not...

The pattern is clear, though the numbers may be slightly different when the final results are available. The state with the biggest Trump percentage increase was his native New York (6.9%), followed by California (5.6%), New Jersey (5.3%), Maryland (5.1%), Florida (5.0%), Illinois (4.9%), Connecticut (4.6%), and Texas (4.3%). They include the four highest-population states. All eight of them have large immigrant and Hispanic populations. The CNN exit poll reported that Trump lost Latino voters to Harris by only a 53 to 45% margin, a historic high percentage for a Republican and one that lays to rest Democratic analysts’ hopes...
