This is an excellent video that is over three hours long. I don't agree with him on everything based on my own experiences, but this interview is still excellent. Worth watching for anyone who has an interest in the subject.

Vander Plaats, CEO of the Iowa-based Christian conservative group The Family Leader, told the Blaze’s Steve Deace this week that he’s never supported Trump, after the former president went on the attack. “Iowa will rise up,” he continued. “This is not leadership our country needs.” “Bob Vander Plaats, the former High School Accountant from Iowa, will do anything to win, something which he hasn’t done in many years,” Trump wrote over the weekend. “He’s more known for scamming Candidates than he is for Victory, but now he’s going around using Disinformation from the Champions of that Art, the Democrats,” he...

Matthew 18:21-35, Matthew 19:1 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus teaches the necessity of constant forgiveness. Forgiveness is an act and not an attitude. It is the active repairing of a broken relationship, even in the face of opposition, violence, or indifference. When a relationship is severed, each party should, in justice, do his part to reestablish the bond.Forgiveness is the bearing of the other person’s burden, moving toward him even when he refuses to move an inch toward you. There is something relentless, even aggressive, about forgiveness, since it amounts to a refusal ever to give up on a relationship....

Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time Matthew 17:22–27Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus prophesies his Crucifixion and Resurrection: “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men, and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day.”What enabled the first Christians to hold up the cross, to sing its praises, to wear it as a decoration is the fact that God raised up and ratified precisely this crucified Jesus.“The author of life you put to death, but God raised him from the dead.” Therefore, God was involved in this terrible thing; God was there, working out...

Today's Homily explains the depth of the Gospel of Christ "Walking on Stormy Water"- And as he invites us to do the same with him.

Matthew 17:14-20 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus exhorts his disciples and us to exercise our faith. St. Paul tells us that “we walk by faith, not by sight.” We see the world around us. And we can learn to understand it according to conventional categories—political, cultural, economic, etc. Christians don’t turn from the world that reason delivers.But our primary orientation is not given by reason; it’s given by faith. This has nothing to do with irrationality or credulity. It has to do with an appreciation of God and the movement of God—in and through all of the conventional events perceived...

Memorial of Saint Clare, Virgin Matthew 16:24–28 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus says, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.” Even a cursory reading of the Gospels reveals that Jesus’ death is the center and goal of the narrative, that which animates and gives verve to the story.How can we make sense of this stubborn cruciformity of Christianity? We can do so only if we remember that God is love. In our pride, our rebellion, our cruelty, and above all our fear, we human beings had changed ourselves into a dysfunctional...

A mother of three is making international headlines for her ‘ability’ to communicate with the dead relatives of her now-famous clientele.Chloe Smith, 25, claims to be able to see angels and talk to the spirits of the dead.

A reporter from a national news network recently asked me: “Where do you see America today?”

The phenomenon, speech pathologist Nancy Polow says, is part of a concerning trend in kids born during or shortly before the pandemic Compounding the crisis, when parents sought help, they were met with lockdown-related roadblocks, such as mask restrictions and telehealth meetings Now the restrictions have lessened, Polow says, parents are scrambling to address these failures, signing up for pricey speech therapy sessions A growing body of academic research also supports Polow's claim that children born over the past three or so years possessing weaker verbal skills

Standard disclaimer: I am not a “Putin Apologist” or “Russian Disinformation Agent.” I do not support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, though I do recognize they had some justification. With that said, I’ve always considered Vladimir Putin and Russia to be enemies of the United States, and I can argue that contrary to some beliefs that he’s fighting the Liberal World Order, in reality he’s just doing what he thinks is best for Russia. If the WEF and others stand in his way, he will attack them as well, though not out of some righteous goal of ending globalism.With that said,...

The war in Ukraine is in its sixth month, and there’s no end in sight. Here’s what we know… Almost everything you heard about the war in Ukraine from U.S. media over the course of March, April and May was a lie. You heard that Putin was losing the war. You heard that Russians had poor training and low morale and were deserting in droves. You heard that Ukrainians were destroying Russian armor in large numbers to blunt the Russian advance. None of this was true. In fact, Russian troops have achieved major victories in Mariupol, Kherson, Severodonetsk, Lysychansk and...

If you think your social media experience is unimpeded, we have proof to the contrary. Just before the Fourth of July, Military Miniature Press announced the reveal of The Russia-Ukraine War Factbook, a comprehensive and unobstructed guide to the ongoing conflict. As we describe it, the book is an "objective look" at the war, geared not by propaganda or political influence, but by facts. Yet when we tried to advertise the book on Facebook and Twitter, we received the same response — it fell under a blanket ban merely for being about the Russia-Ukraine War. We're not ignorant of the...

**SNIP** English footballers still 'take the knee' before games in deference to BLM and even Sir Keir Starmer was photographed doing the same in his office at the height of the protests. With those who didn't fall into line risking accusations of racism, few wanted to be thought out of step. So no wonder three co-founders of the movement might have felt they deserved to celebrate a little as their cause gained widespread attention. In a video they released on YouTube last year to mark the first anniversary of George Floyd's death at the hands of a white police officer...

The Communists at YouTube deleted a viral video of Dr. Cole explaining the dangers of the Covid vaccine. Dr. Ryan Cole, owner and operator of Cole Diagnostics, has been very outspoken against the Covid lockdowns/quarantine and has warned about the mRNA vaccine. The Idaho doctor on Wednesday said he is not anti-vaccine but he warned against the experimental Covid jabs. “We’ve seen more deaths from this shot than all vaccines in the last 20 years combined — and that’s just in the first 4 to 5 months,” he said during an appearance on Rose Unplugged 1320 WJAS. Dr. Cole said...

RUSH: This guy, you know, he’s a joke. He’s a charlatan. He’s been sending out phony data as part of his models, and that data has been used by American health experts and officials to dictate American behavior. Now, we’re learning a lot more about this guy as the days go on. “The scientist whose advice prompted Boris Johnson to lock down Britain resigned from his Government advisory position on Tuesday night as The Telegraph can reveal he broke social distancing rules to meet his married lover.” The guy was having an affair! And he broke his own social distancing...

[T]here will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.” 2 Peter 2:1–3I’m surprised when I hear people say that we shouldn’t judge preachers. “That’s not loving” or “The Bible says not to judge” are often responses.My gut reaction is, “Have you...
