“Law Questions and the Good Samaritan Answer” (Luke 10:25-37) Our text today is one of the most well-known parables in the Bible. It’s the story of the Good Samaritan. And Jesus’ parable is prompted by a couple of questions that someone asks him. Law questions, questions about what we have to do to keep God’s Law. And so our theme this morning: “Law Questions and the Good Samaritan Answer.” What prompts Jesus to tell this story? It’s a little exchange he has with a lawyer in the crowd. Our text starts out: “And behold, a lawyer stood up to put...

It looks like Special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony before Congress will not take place on July 17 as originally planned. House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) is trying to get Mueller to appear before his committee on July 24. Nadler explained that “we were able to reach a bipartisan agreement with the Republicans on the questioning protocol, but Mueller balked at the use of water-boarding, contending that ‘it is inappropriate to employ this harsh technique to a person of my stature.’ My feeling is that any ‘stature’ he may have had at one time was canceled out by his investigation’s...

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin - Derco, a Lockheed Martin company, is planning to expand its plant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by up to 15% by the end of this year. The expansion is to auger in the development of parts for the F-35 Lighting II fighter jet. Derco has been around since 1979 and is highly regarded in ther defense contracting sector as around 20% of its workforce consists of veterans. U.S. President Donald J. Trump visited the plant on Friday and gave a 30-minute speech. "From here in Milwaukee, you are supporting magnificent aircraft, and soon you'll support the unstoppable, stealth F-35...

The Trump Administration's planned action to deport the one million illegal immigrants that the courts have already ruled should be deported met with strident objections from open-border advocates this week. Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, called the planned action "unfair. The individuals targeted have not had the opportunity to present their cases in court." Lieberman neglected to mention the fact that these individuals were "no shows" for their scheduled opportunity to argue their side in court, maintaining that "common criminals who skip their court appearances aren't sent directly to prison. They're given new court...

Texas father has been legally prohibited from raising his son as a boy because his ex-wife allegedly decided their son is a transgender girl and is preparing him for “chemical castration at age 8” and a future sex change surgery, which the father may be forced to help pay for. Jeff Younger, who is locked in a court battle with his ex-wife over whether their son should undergo transition to a girl, says a court order bans him from discussing things like religion or the need to be respectful to girls. Jeff and his former spouse Anne Georgulas are trying...

VIDEO Who could have believed even in the recent past that one day a major American city such as Los Angeles would be afflicted by the threat of typhus and bubonic plague? Those diseases, which were associated with medieval times, now threaten the people of Los Angeles. So what is the major concern of its mayor? To oppose Donald Trump by openly opposing enforcement of immigration laws via its "sanctuary city" policy. No wonder there is a recall petition for Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti who has FAILED in his most basic duty of protecting the citizens of that city.

Apparently, an unnamed senior Dem aide is texting around a photo of a Goomba puppet from the video game Mario Bros. to slam Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a “puppet” of “elitist white liberals”:

Let me posit this hypothesis, liberalism is the new secular Puritanism. Instead of believing in a just and almighty God they believe in government. Instead of basing their beliefs and religion on the Bible they base it on their own – ever expanding – belief system: the principles of government. The Puritan ideal of living a life of pious, consecrated actions translates for the new Puritans to insisting that YOU live a pious life, consecrated to THEIR principles. Because you were born too stupid to determine what’s best for you. Hence the need for social engineering; here’s an example of...

Historically, economic prosperity has carried incumbent presidents to reelection. After two-and-a-half years of the Trump Administration the US economy appears very prosperous. GDP is expanding at a rate that former President Obama insisted would never be seen again. Stock prices are reaching record highs. Unemployment is at historic lows. Wages are rising. The task of Democrats seeking to persuade voters to unseat Trump would seem to be daunting. Nevertheless, several of them are trying out arguments against the Trump economic gains. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass) played the envy card, pointing out that "a 3% gain on a billion dollar income...

The Trump administration on Friday asked the Supreme Court to lift a freeze on Pentagon money it wants to use to build sections of a border wall with Mexico. Two lower courts have ruled against the administration in a lawsuit over the funding. Last week, a divided three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco kept in place a lower court ruling preventing the government from tapping Defense Department counterdrug money to build high-priority sections of wall in Arizona, California and New Mexico. At stake in the case is billions of dollars that would allow...

Antifa is a violent group of domestic terrorists that like to assault people for their political beliefs. Many conservatives and notable journalists have been attacked during Antifa riots. The group believes they are fighting fascism in America. This is not the case, Antifa is fighting non-existent American fascism by turning themselves into fascists. Fascism is a political structure headed by a dictator, that puts race and nationality above individual behavior. Fascists also believe it is moral to suppress the opposition by using force. Along with that, they believe in controlling social structure and the economy. The most recent and notable...

Friday night entertainment BUMP. Classic from Metallica.

My dear friend's daughter was just crowned Miss Puerto Rico last month and she'll be participating in the Miss Universe Pageant in December. All we know is that the pageant is in December - we don't know the date nor the location. Some say it'll be in Las Vegas or South Korea. This is a total lack of planning and organization. When Trump was head of the Miss Universe Organization, a few Puerto Ricans won the crown under his watch, so we got to know him well in the beauty pageant world because he came down to the island with...

How about instead of giving D.C. statehood, we just allow them to annex Montgomery and PG Counties MD and Fairfax County VA. These three counties surround D.C.. D.C. gets some more power, which is all they want anyway, and the DPRM and VA get to shed some commie territory (though FFX is not as extreme as the other two, at least not yet).

We all know Facebook is anti-Conservative, and they are doing a variety of underhanded things to remove Conservative voices from their "unbiased" platform. Well, they got me a couple of weeks ago --- in a new and interesting way. One of my totally apolitical posts on my Business Facebook page "went viral" to my surprise. Yes, I post political messages all the time on my Political page, that started out as my Campaign page in 2012. The viral post was on a different Business page, and about a cat. So, I get this message from Facebook: "You can't publish as...

The democrat party has become the party of Hamas. Bill Clinton, as have all recent Presidents, tried to his best to negotiate a Middle East peace but failed. Nearly a year after he failed to achieve a deal at Camp David, former president Bill Clinton gave vent to his frustrations this week over the collapse of peace in the Mideast. And Clinton directed his ire at one man: Yasir Arafat. On Tuesday night, Clinton told guests at a party at the Manhattan apartment of former U.N. ambassador Richard Holbrooke and his wife, writer Kati Marton, that Arafat called to bid...

VIDEO This video reveals how YouTube is shadow banning vidos it wants to suppress by not allowing them to show up in their search engine. As you will see, even when the search is filtered according to UPLOAD DATE, an objective criteria, YouTube will often refuse to allow many videos to appear in the search. I provide the very specific example of a video I uploaded on July 11 about Hunter Biden yet when you do a search according to upload date, it DOES NOT APPEAR. Next week, the Senate Subcommittee on the Constitution, chaired by Senator Ted Cruz, is...
