Psalm 94:1-15 O Lord, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth! Rise up, O judge of the earth; repay to the proud what they deserve!O Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult? They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast. They crush your people, O Lord, and afflict your heritage. They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless; and they say, “The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive.”Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise? He who planted the...

2 Cor. 4:17,18 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

It is fair to say that until Kamala Harris chose her running mate in 2024, the vast majority of Americans had never heard of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Known during the campaign for little more than his weak-kneed response to the George Floyd riots of 2020 and for exaggerations about his National Guard service and military rank, he was an ever-grinning, ever-clapping cheerleader for Kamala’s word salads. However, in light of Minnesota’s “industrial-scale” social services fraud, likely involving billions in tax dollars funneled away from those most in need to those lining their pockets for vacations, jewelry, property, and luxury...

...Brewer blasted the state’s Democrats for fomenting an insurrection and insisted that the reason they are mad is because ICE is “deporting their voters.”“We’re deporting their voters. That’s part of what’s happening and it’s blowing up their whole plan,” the former NFL player told Fox News......“I hope President Trump sends in the National Guard. We need curfews.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) called on Senate Republicans on Sunday to move a government funding package without funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in order to avoid a partial government shutdown at the end of the week. Schumer urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) and House GOP leaders to drop the Homeland Security appropriations bill, which would fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), from the six-bill funding package that is due to come to the Senate floor this week. “Senate Democrats will not allow the current DHS funding bill to move forward,” Schumer said in...

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz again invoked Nazi-era comparisons when speaking about ICE operations in the state, suggesting that events unfolding in Minnesota will one day be written about in a manner similar to Anne Frank’s diary. “We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside,” Walz said at a news conference. “ Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is gonna write that story about Minnesota, and there’s one person who can end this now,” Walz added, referring to President Donald Trump. Walz has repeatedly used Nazi-related metaphors when criticizing...

🚨 This woman nails it while Legacy media ignores it. “Did you guys hear about the illegal immigrant that was arrested in Georgia yesterday for brutally raping an 11-year-old girl at knifepoint and forcing her ten year old little sister to watch after breaking into their bedroom? Hmm, probably not, because you dumbasses have been so stuck on the five year old that was supposedly detained by ICE that with a 30 second Google search, you would have figured out that his dad actually ran and abandoned him and ICE wasn't going to leave a five-year-old by himself. You guys...

President Donald Trump admitted 'I don't like any shooting' when asked about the fatal Border Patrol confrontation with Minnesota nurse Alex Pretti as he gave state officials an ultimatum to turn over all criminal migrants. In a lengthy Truth Social post on Sunday, the president said he was calling on Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and 'EVERY Democrat Governor and Mayor in the US to formally cooperate with the Trump Administration to enforce our Nation's Laws, rather than resist and stoke the flames of Division, Chaos and Violence. He then ordered Walz and Frey to 'turn over all Criminal Illegal...

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara warned on Face the Nation Sunday that public anger over a string of federal‑involved shootings has reached a breaking point, saying the city is so overwhelmed that even a finding of legal justification in the latest incident “does not matter at this point.” Host Margaret Brennan asked the Minneapolis police chief his opinion about the facts of Saturday’s shooting of a protester in the city.

During an appearance on FOX News’s The Sunday Briefing this week, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stressed that concealed carry in Minnesota is illegal “without an ID on you.” Her statement came after host Peter Doocy pointed out that the armed man who was shot and killed by a federal agent Saturday in Minneapolis “was legally a concealed carry permit holder.” Doocy then asked, “Is your message to people who [have] concealed carry permits, that if they’re going to go to a protest, they should leave their gun in the car?” Noem responded, “No, my message to individuals is don’t go...
