Before Angel Studios released the animated movie David late last year, it released an animated movie based on the life of Jesus Christ, called The King of Kings, around Easter. The movie did remarkably well at the box office, and it was a movie that sparked my curiosity due to the fact that its approach was different in the sense that it was framed by how Charles Dickens taught the account of Jesus Christ to his kids. The Story: The movie opens up during the part of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol, where the character of Ebenezer Scrooge, the self-absorbed...

It is estimated that at least one and a half million Americans took part in one of 3,000 events that took place this weekend. With a raspy and rather agitating voice, Bruce Springsteen seems to have resurrected the voice of Bob Dylan from the sixties. It’s hard to understand how you can make a folk song out of the resistance to a president. Up to now, we thought the most standard way was to vote against him. Springsteen has apparently found another way. Following that act, we see Reverend Al Sharpton and actor Robert De Niro walking in together holding...

The Death Of ROCK These are some points to consider about the death of Rock Music. 1. Neil Young was wrong in singing that rock and roll would never die in his song “Hey, Hey, My My.” 2. The four hotels in my small home town which hosted rock bands -- the Norfolk, the GUV. The Melbourne, the Village Pump -- also died as a result of rock's death. If nobody sees bands -- no liquor sales. 3. There are no new rock bands in the Top 40, no anticipation of newly released band material. 4. Only old bands exist...

“And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.” (Mt 17:1-2) When Jesus took Peter, James, and John to a high mountain to show them this amazing moment where he was transfigured and glowed with such brilliance that he outshined the sun, Peter’s reaction was very earthly. Peter wanted to build tabernacles in places where people could come and worship where this event took place. It’s almost...

On December 27, 2025, a 13-year-old boy named Terrel Byars Jr. was hit and killed by a driver in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, which is near Pittsburgh.This past Sunday, protestors and their children walked in the street and deliberately placed themselves in front of oncoming traffic, in the exact same spot, on the exact same road, where Byars was killed.So after a child was hit and killed by a car, parents are encouraging their own children to walk in the same street against oncoming traffic.This is the exact opposite of what these parents should be teaching their children.Shame on these parents.https://triblive.com/local/4-arrested-officer-hurt-when-confrontation-breaks-out-at-west-mifflin-protest/

We all have a life interest in a frank discussion of issues regarding the likelihood that Iran will get nuked. There is traction to be gained from learning about ancient Israel's singlemindedness during their ancestors' self-sacrifice at Masada, especially considering that if Israel nukes Iran … "that might not quite be the last word in the story." This is to say, that Israel's present-day singlemindedness in eliminating Iran, might have some characteristics similar to the history of Masada. This is because credible commentators have predicted that Iran may be announcing that they are nuclear weapon equipped within a matter of...

Iran has been at war with the United States and Israel for 47 years now. We didn’t start it; they did. But we are finally getting around to finishing it. In the first week of the 2026 action, we demolished over 3000 major targets in Iran, largely succeeding at the goal of decapitating the mullahs’ regime and eliminating their military capacity. Our airstrikes are rapidly wiping out their launch sites, their arms factories, their air force and naval vessels, while making a valiant effort to do all this without causing innocent civilian casualties. (As in any war, there are going...

We need to wakeup Senator John Thune. The Save America Act is America's last Chance. If he could get it passed he would become a hero. This bill is common sense. If the democrats win again, Filibuster is gone. If he loves America, he needs to make this his number one passion. Any ideas to wakeup him up. I mean not to say how bad he is but how to change his mind. Maybe a march for Thune. Real ideas, please. Please pray that God would change his mind.

Integrated Assessment of Iran’s Military and Strategic Collapse By ChatAI March 12, 2026 Overview This assessment evaluates Iran’s ability to sustain military operations and pose a strategic threat under the following conditions: • Decapitation of leadership on day one (Supreme Leader + ~40 top advisors killed) • Destruction of air force, navy, missile and drone launchers • Systematic strikes on nuclear research and weapons manufacturing facilities • Economic collapse due to blocked oil exports and currency devaluation • Massive domestic unrest prior to and during the conflict • Lopsided casualty dynamics (Iranian forces die; enemy virtually unharmed) • Global isolation...

Gemini AI: Here is the latest "Kurd Update": 1.

Prior to the 1979 Iranian Revolution, when American military bases were hosted by the Shah, there was a separate tier of justice, like the difference between Sharia and Rum courts, to which American military criminal justice cases were referred. [The "Rum" (Orthodox Christians) under eastern Muslim governments, were generally governed by their own religious laws in civil matters. They were considered a minority protected under the millet-like system that allowed communal, self-governing ecclesiastical courts, particularly in religious, matrimonial, and inheritance cases, rather than strict Islamic Sharia. A similar system under British occupation was the Irish "Breton Law" courts in which,...

As many of you know, the Pentagon is employing Palantir in Operation Epic Fury. And Palantir's AI platform, AIP, operates on a frontier AI foundation which is a military-adapted version of Claude.Ergo, I submitted all my prompts/questions to Claude.Here are my prompts and Claude's responses. I submitted Claude's responses to Grok for corroboration of accuracy and Grok said Claude was speculative and overly expansive.I thought some of you might enjoy this exchange so here it is (for what it's worth). I do not assume this is accurate. But it is interesting for a variety of reasons. Take it for what...

Genesis 12:1-3 King James Version 12 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Only God would have Israel save Iran from the false prophet’s cult...

The election of a new...

With Bill and Hillary Clinton giving their depositions to the US House Government Oversight Committee over Clinton ties to Jeffrey Epstein a man known as a 'financier' I am certainly reminded of those "Clinton Years" of the 1990's. Those years punctuated by financial questions about the Clinton's from the 'cattle futures' windfall for Hillary to the Whitewater project questions surrounding them and those infamous Rose Law Firm billing records. But in the end it was all for nought as a probe of the Clinton's centered on financial wrongdoing descended into the pit of Bill Clinton's illicit sexual relationships and his...

One of CNN’s most notorious TV egoists surprises viewers every once in awhile by displaying a modicum of common sense in the face of leftist politicians running economies into the mud. His recent repudiation of blue city spending is no exception. CNN host Fareed Zakaria actually ripped how Democrat strongholds like New York City were “out of control, promising more, spending more, delivering less and pushing off fiscal problems to some future day,” in an X post promoting a February 23 segment of Fareed Zakaria GPS. In a stunning display of red-pilling, Zakaria directly called out the newly minted communist...

A Gold Medal Speech Jeremiah 29:11-13 (King James Version) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Unlike the last five Presidents who gave a State of the Union address President Trump spoke his mind and gave a clear picture of what he has...
