He is risen, He is risen!

He is risen, He is risen!
Tell it out with joyful voice:
He has burst his three days' prison;
Let the whole wide earth rejoice:
Death is conquered, man is free,
Christ has won the victory.

Come, with high and holy hymning,
Chant our Lord's triumphant day;
Not one darksome cloud is dimming
Yonder glorious morning ray,
Breaking o’er the purple east,
Symbol of our Easter feast.

He is risen, He is risen!
He hath opened heaven's gate:
We are free from sin's dark prison,
Risen to a holier state;
And a brighter Easter beam
On our longing eyes shall stream.

On That Day....

On That Day/CityAlight

I believe in Christ, risen from the dead
   He now reigns victorious, His kingdom knows no end
   Through His resurrection death has lost its hold
   I know on that final day I’ll rise as Jesus rose

CHORUS
On that day we will see you shining brighter than the sun
On that day we will know you as we lift our voice as one
Till that day we will praise you for your never ending grace
And we will keep on singing on that glorious day

2. What a blessed hope, though now tired and worn
   We will spend eternity around our Saviour’s throne
   Though we grieve our losses we grieve not in vain
   For we know our crown of glory waits beyond the grave

BRIDGE
Hallelujah what a day it will be
For at home with you my joy is complete
As I run into your arms open wide I will see
My father who is waiting for me

Holy Saturday: Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
     O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
    to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
    O Lord, who could stand?
 But with you there is forgiveness,
    that you may be feared.

 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
    and in his word I hope;
 my soul waits for the Lord
    more than watchmen for the morning,
    more than watchmen for the morning.

 O Israel, hope in the Lord!
    For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
    and with him is plentiful redemption.
 And he will redeem Israel
    from all his iniquities.
-Psalm 130

Jerusalem...Praise the One Who saved us!

 
Jerusalem/CityAlight

See Him in Jerusalem
Walking where the crowds are
Once these streets had sung to Him
Now they cry for murder
Such a frail and lonely Man
Holding up the heavy cross
See Him walking in Jerusalem
On the road to save us

2. See Him there upon the hill
Hear the scorn and laughter
Silent as a lamb He waits
Praying to the Father
See the King who made the sun
And the moon and shining stars
Let the soldiers hold and nail Him down
So that He could save them

3. See Him there upon the cross
Now no longer breathing
Dust that formed the watching crowds
Takes the blood of Jesus
Feel the earth is shaking now
See the veil is split in two
And He stood before the wrath of God
Shielding sinners with His blood

4. See the empty tomb today
Death could not contain Him
Once the Servant of the world
Now in vict'ry reigning
Lift your voices to the One
Who is seated on the throne
See Him in the New Jerusalem
Praise the One who saved us

Holy Thursday: Is It So?

Then He poureth water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith He was girded. -John 13:5
 
The Lord Jesus loves his people so much, that every day he is still doing for them much that is analogous to washing their soiled feet. Their poorest actions he accepts; their deepest sorrow he feels; their slenderest wish he hears, and their every transgression he forgives. He is still their servant as well as their Friend and Master....humbly, patiently, he yet goes about among his people with the basin and the towel. He does this when he puts away from us day by day our constant infirmities and sins....It is a great act of eternal love when Christ once for all absolves the sinner, and puts him into the family of God; but what condescending patience there is when the Saviour with much long-suffering bears the oft recurring follies of his wayward disciple; day by day, and hour by hour, washing away the multiplied transgressions of his erring but yet beloved child!....While we find comfort and peace in our Lord’s daily cleansing, its legitimate influence upon us will be to increase our watchfulness, and quicken our desire for holiness. Is it so? 
...CH Spurgeon Image

We Failed the Freedom Test; The Third Fall of Rome...more

What is the way forward for Christian political witness? There are increasing conversations about classical liberalism’s viability.

The Invasion of Secularism and the Loss of Shame in Society   In the escalating conflict between religion, biblical Christianity in particular, and the ever-evolving tides of Secularism, the distinction has never been more profound or more critical. Biblical Christianity, which is anchored in the sovereignty and lordship of Jesus Christ, commands us to surrender our lives to His will, promising peace and eternal salvation. Secularism, conversely, entices us into believing that this temporal world is our ultimate reality and that our desires and achievements within it are all that matter.

Russian Warships Enter Red Sea As Rival US-Led Coalition Patrols  But a Russian warship presence in the Red Sea certainly makes the waters a bit more 'crowded' given that the US and UK are currently leading 22-country naval coalition known as 'Operation Prosperity Guardian'.  Other countries include Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, and a number of additional nations have reportedly sent ships as anonymous participants. There have been no indicators that Moscow intends to cooperate with its rivals and enemies in the Western naval coalition.

--------------Power corrupts-------------

Everything I have warned about for years—government overreach, invasive surveillance, martial law, abuse of powers, militarized police, weaponized technology used to track and control the citizenry, and so on—has become part of the government’s arsenal of terrifying lockdown powers should the need arise.
      What we should be bracing for is: what comes next?

Even though we have ourselves formulated the cardinal virtues and lived by them for so long, taking them for granted as the basis of social cohesion, we may also lose them, suddenly challenged in numbers by non-West (and anti-West) foreigners with a culture of their own. That menacing prospect, spelling the conditions of complete alienation and civilizational dissolution, we ultimately owe to our own decadence and imprudence. We have slept on our watch.

‘Deplorable’: Reps. Say Veterans Homeless as Illegals Get Freebies  I live in Arizona, and my local airport — Tucson International — is perpetually filled with a never-ending flood of illegal immigrants, who are being flown around the country with bulging bags of stuff at taxpayer expense, exempted from the same security measures we citizens have to endure to fly. Then there’s the free housing, prepaid debit cards, schooling for kids, medical care… the list of government financial expenditures for illegals is endless. Your tax dollars at work, my fellow Americans!

Your Will Be Done...

 
Your Will Be Done/CityAlight

1. As Jesus walked, so I shall walk
Held by Your same unchanging love
Be still my soul
Oh, lift your voice and pray
Father not my will but Yours be done

2. How in that garden he persisted
     I may never fully know
     The fearful weight of true obedience
     It was held by him alone

CHORUS
What wondrous faith, to bear that cross
To bear my sin, what wondrous love
My hope was sure
When there my Saviour prayed
Father not my will but Yours be done

3. When I am lost, when I am broken
     In the night of fear and doubt
     Still I will trust in my good Father
     Yes, to one great King I bow!

CHORUS
As Jesus rose, so I shall rise
In ransomed glory at the throne
My heart restored
With all your saints I sing
Father, not my will but Yours be done

4. As we go forth, our God and Father
     Lead us daily in the fight
     That all the world might see Your glory
     And Your Name be lifted high

CHORUS
And in this Name we overcome
For You shall see us safely home
Now as your church
We lift our voice and pray
Father, not my will but Yours be done

Baltimore Bridge Collapse; America’s Stunning Embrace Of Paganism ...more

Pray for the missing, and the survivors of the FSK Bridge collapse. The immediate is a thankfully small human tragedy. What is to come will be much worse.
   Baltimore is about the 12th or 13th busiest port in the United States. For all intents and purposes, consider it offline for at least a year. For the next few months, the ships that are there are likely to stay there, and no new ships will arrive. This is going to have several major impacts.

The Baltimore Bridge Collapse Is Going to Have an Enormous Impact on U.S. Supply Chains   The Port of Baltimore — the biggest handler of US imports and exports of cars and light trucks — looks to be out of commission indefinitely. The resulting bottleneck could accelerate a shift of goods through West Coast ports.

America’s Stunning Embrace Of Paganism Signals The End Of This Country As We Know It  There is no secular utopia waiting for us in the post-Christian, neopagan world now coming into being — no future in which we get to retain the advantages and benefits of Christendom without the faith from which they sprang. Western civilization and its accoutrements depend on Christianity, not just in the abstract but in practice. Liberalism relies on a source of vitality that does not originate from it and that it cannot replenish. That source is the Christian faith, in the absence of which we will revert to an older form of civilization, one in which power alone matters and the weak and the vulnerable count for nothing.
    What awaits us on the other side of Christendom, in other words, is a pagan dark age. Here, in the second decade of the 21st century, we can say with some confidence that this dark age has begun. [Read it all]

Legal issues aside, it's worth noting that squatters' rights laws end up harming the very people they are supposed to help: low-income tenants. If property owners have reason to fear that squatters can occupy their land without their consent, they will be less willing to rent property to begin with, charge higher rents, screen potential tenants more carefully (thereby potentially excluding those with low income, few or nor references, and the like), or some combination of all of these measures. They may also be incentivized to impose more costly and elaborate security restrictions on access to land (which in turn is likely to raise rents). All of this predictably reduces the availability of housing and increases its costs.

------------------------------

Whether it is appointments to boards, medical care, college admissions, jobs or other benefits, unfair considerations of race now predominate.  Policies discriminating against whites and other groups — Asians, for example — are falsely hailed as reparative for targeted minorities.
  The process began in the 1960s, with the slow abandonment of the constitutional ideal forbidding any form of racial distinction.  Then, DEI and social justice, and later, sexual orientation (in 1998) and gender identity (in 2014), became pervasive.  This new racism violates the basic tenets of our constitutional republic.  It should not be allowed to stand.

Biden's Pro-Hamas Betrayal at the UN; Trump's Net Worth Surges on a Day That Was Expected to Bring Financial Doom ...more

Legal Insurrection: 'what's going on in New York State with the weaponization of prosecutors' offices both criminally and civilly is really troubling'   Well, I think that the overall impact of this is, it is a broad attempt to take down the leading Republican candidate, to either ruin him financially or to tie him up financially or to put him in prison, or to get him convicted. And I don’t think it’s any coincidence that this is all happening in an election year. Image

Sen Ted Cruz: “Today's resolution is a capitulation to and victory for Hamas. It reverses what the Biden administration said was its policy linking a ceasefire to the release of hostages, even while Hamas is still holding hostages, including American hostages. It does not acknowledge let alone condemn the atrocities of October 7, the worst one-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. It includes vague pro forma language calling for a release of hostages, which is designed to be ignored by Hamas and will be ignored. Indeed, today’s resolution will further entrench Hamas: the terrorist group and its Iranian backers committed the atrocities of October 7 precisely because they counted on the Biden administration to pressure Israel to let Hamas win, and today the Biden administration shamefully confirmed their calculation.

Trump's Net Worth Surges on a Day That Was Expected to Bring Financial Doom  A New York appeals court lowered his bond by 62 percent in the civil suit from $464 million to $175 million. In a press conference, Trump said he would abide by the New York appellate ruling, expecting to post the bond within the 10-day deadline. 

Not only did Trump secure financial relief in court on Monday, he also had his highest-earning day on record. Trump Media & Technology Group concluded a lengthy merger process with Digital World Acquisition Corp., officially transferring shares valued at billions of dollars into Trump's ownership.

Witchcraft, a Multi-Billion-Dollar Industry, Is Rapidly Evangelizing  Nevertheless, in an age defined by comfort and convenience, Christianity finds itself at a disadvantage. Its calls for self-sacrifice, humility, and obedience to God contrast sharply with witchcraft, which offers what appears to be a shortcut to godlike power. Consider the case of the Etsy witch Freya, who promises that if you purchase her “Powerful Death Spell,” then “the spell will work within 1 to 60 days and you will achieve your goal”: the death of an enemy or revenge on someone you hate. In addition, Christianity — with its emphasis on detachment from material possessions, coupled with low compensation for clergy and lay employees — stands in juxtaposition to a religion that serves as a profit machine for its adherents.
    Witches’ perceived powers and monetary profits will eventually be recognized as fleeting gains before inevitable, deadly defeat. “For the wages of sin is death,” said Saint Paul, “but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
    But before this truth is ultimately made clear, Christianity will have to face off against a religion that seemingly offers endless temporal promises. It will be a difficult battle.

Ship sent 'mayday' warning before Baltimore bridge disaster as officials scrambled to halt traffic: 'Saved lots of lives' The container ship that smashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore sent a “mayday” warning that it had lost power before the disaster, officials said Tuesday.
   Quick-thinking authorities at the bridge were able to stop cars from crossing the 1.6-mile span, an act that “saved lots of lives,” Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said.
   “The ship issued a mayday loss of power. The workers on the bridge halted traffic right before impact. They saved lots of lives,” Moore said at a press conference. Image

Major Baltimore bridge collapses after container ship collision, 6 people missing   Completed in 1977, the bridge took the name of Francis Scott Key, whose poem was the foundation of the U.S. national anthem.

The Democrats Have Crossed the Bridge into Unabashed Nazism   While the current iteration of the American Left and the Democrat Party does not have a military uniform fetish or goose step up Pennsylvania Avenue, they are little different than the Nazi Party of 1927-1934 in their pursuit of one-party control of Germany.  There is no tactic out-of-bounds, no limit to the lives to be sacrificed, no constraint on lawlessness, no acknowledgment of the rule of law, no deference to a written Constitution, and no respect for the dignity of mankind -- just a raw unbridled determination to seize power in perpetuity.

In the foolish belief that it could not happen here, the vast majority of Americans live in blissful obliviousness.  The Republican Party wallows in the same mindset and following in the footsteps of the opposition parties in Germany circa 1929-33; they engage in never-ending internal schoolyard squabbles, a near-religious belief in compromise regardless of long-term consequences, and deferentiality to the leadership of the Democrat party.  Far too many have not figured out that they are not dealing with the Democrat party of forty-years ago but the Nazi Party of ninety-four-years ago.

The reality is that the overthrow of this nation is happening apace.  The process of defeating these tyrannizers will not begin until the tables are turned, and they are exposed and called out for who they are: Nazis.

Biden Covers Up China’s War on America...Why is Biden lying to Americans but telling the truth to China?   The Biden administration has misleadingly denied reports for no purpose other than to conceal information about enemy activities from Americans. China knew it was spying on the United States from Cuba. And they certainly knew that we knew it. Russia knew it was building a space weapon and was talking about it with the Biden administration. But Biden didn’t want us to know.

Biden’s Border Blowup...Alienating from the Democratic Party its once most loyal voters The combination of mass illegal immigration, without audit, into a country beset with $35 trillion in national debt, an existing 50 million residents not born in the United States, and without confidence in rapid assimilation certainly explains the disaster of illegal immigration that now manifests daily.

Pushback: Smithsonian to pay Catholic students $50K and publicly apologize for ejecting them from Air & Space for wearing pro-life hats   Once in the museum, they were accosted several times and told they would be forced to leave unless they removed their pro-life hats. The group all wore the same blue hat that simply said, “Rosary PRO-LIFE.” Other individuals in the museum were wearing hats of all kinds without issue.

The museum staff mocked the students, called them expletives, and made comments that the museum was a “neutral zone” where they could not express such statements. The employee who ultimately forced the students to leave the museum was rubbing his hands together in glee as they exited the building.

School district wants administrator who can ‘examine’ the presence of ‘Whiteness’   The school district continues its summary of the position by saying the assistant superintendent must be “unwaveringly committed to anti-racist actions and use data to adapt and sustain their efforts towards racial equity to plan, direct, and coordinate action to achieve the mission and strategic objectives.”
   As a matter of fact, words such as “anti-racist,” “racial equity,” and other related phrases appear in the job description over a dozen times.
   The job description continues by saying the school district is seeking an assistant superintendent who can “examine the presence and role of ‘Whiteness’ in systems and structures,” and is “open to feedback regarding their own racial blind spots.”

Never in history has a less efficient “prime mover” displaced a more efficient one. We believe this time will be no different. While governments may try to coerce drivers into buying EVs or even ban ICE altogether, these policies will ultimately fail as consumers insist on keeping their more efficient vehicles. A new battery breakthrough would help make EVs more energy efficient, and we are studying the space very closely. In particular, we are impressed with the work being done by the team at PureLithium, in which we have made a small private investment. However, we cannot identify any battery technology that would materially change this analysis. Until then, we expect internal combustion engines will continue to dominate, and EV penetration will disappoint.

Climate: The Movie...

 

The US’ Waning Naval Dominance; Cyber attacks against U.S. water infrastructure...more

 
Border Invasion Gets Violent as Illegal Aliens Overrun National Guard in El Paso

In a scene that looks more like the border of some war-torn third-world country, and after multiple months of record-setting illegal alien crossings on Biden's watch, a horde of illegal aliens have now stormed Texas authorities in an attempt to forcibly and unlawfully enter the U.S. To call it an "invasion" is anything but hyperbole. 

------------------------------

The US’ Waning Naval Dominance and China’s Surge Should Worry You   The numbers tell the story. The US Navy had nearly 7,000 ships in 1945. It stood at 529 vessels at Cold War’s end. Today, the Navy has just 292 ships, not so many more than the 245 it possessed before World War I. That fleet is being run ragged by a never-ceasing global mission set. Ships aren’t the only problem: America is pulling its punches against the Houthis because hitting harder would drain its already insufficient stocks of precision-guided munitions and cruise missiles.

Feds warn cyber attacks are being carried out against U.S. water infrastructure by China, Iran  “These attacks have the potential to disrupt the critical lifeline of clean and safe drinking water, as well as impose significant costs on affected communities,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said in a letter to all state governors.

---------------Long Tyranny---------------

Consequently, businesses, jobs and livelihoods were destroyed without mercy; education was wrecked; our health suffered as screenings and treatments were delayed and sometimes canceled altogether; powerful people silenced critics and dissenters. Government went $6 trillion deeper into debt as politicians thought spending could stop the spread, bankruptcies soared and alcohol-related deaths “increased during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic,” reaching 488 fatalities a day during the pandemic’s lost years.
   The results have been catastrophic, the carnage exceeding “by multiple times any health benefits from mandates and lockdowns,” says the CTUP. It can’t be allowed to happen again. To make sure it doesn’t, or to at least lay down a set of guidelines that, if followed would produce better outcomes, the Committee recently published a study that offers “10 key lessons that must be learned to avoid mistaken policy responses to future pandemics and other crises.” 

------------------------------

As with the firearms we possess, the words we speak and write matter most during times of emergency!  It is precisely when the government is certain in its point of view and committed to its plan of action that contradictory voices and public dissent are necessary.  If the First Amendment stands for anything, it is that the government’s speech is never more important than the people’s.  And the louder the government’s voice rises over any issue, the louder the people’s voice must be able to rise to help filter out truth from the mind-numbing spectacle of official propaganda.

‘Climate Protestors’ Are the Dangerous Know-Nothings of Our Time  When it comes to extreme environmental voices, reason and common sense long ago left the conversation. Instead of thanking the industries and its leaders that power our country, they accuse them of murder. As galling as it is, perhaps even worse is the unwillingness of those running our country to stand up and fight back.

Top Lawmakers Receive Classified Briefing On Spread Of Chinese-Backed Marijuana Farms In United States  In the last several years, Chinese-backed marijuana operations have cropped up across the United States, including major drug busts in New Mexico and Maine. In Maine alone, Border Patrol has reportedly identified at least 270 illegal marijuana grow operations throughout the state that are worth billions of dollars.

The West is being torn apart by the battle of the infinite sexes   The recent decision by the National Health Service to ban puberty blockers under prescription outside of upcoming clinical trials is a rare indication that common sense and biological reality are staging a comeback. However, this ruling is but a small victory against a growing trend that places ever less emphasis on family, marriage and children.

Women -- aren't we tired of this? Aren't we tired of the Left not being able to define what a woman is, lest they offend the trans community?
Aren't we tired of being 'egg producers' and people with 'front holes' and 'birthing persons'?

Plummeting birthrates to leave UK reliant on African mass migration until 2100: report  The UK has claimed one of the lowest fertility rates in Western Europe at the "replacement rate" of 1.49 children per woman in 2021. The study reports that to maintain the current population without immigration, that number must sit at 2.1.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Stands With Floridian Property Owners Over Squatters  The Florida Legislature unanimously passed a bill that would allow police to immediately remove squatters — a departure from the lengthy court cases required in most states.
   “It gives me a real feeling of positive hope that we still have the ability to discuss challenges in our society and work with our legislatures in a bipartisan way,” Patti Peeples, a Sunshine State property owner who was barred from her own home after squatters refused to leave, told News4Jax.
   The legislation, which passed both chambers earlier this month, would allow police to remove squatters without a lease authorized by the property owner and adds criminal penalties.

TikToker tells followers how to 'invade' American homes and invoke squatter's rights as provocative video is viewed almost 4million times  Moreno, alleging he has friends who 'have already taken about seven homes', argued the only way for migrants to not live in the streets or be a 'public burden' is to 'seize' and 'invade' abandoned properties.

DHS Failure to File Paperwork Results in 200,000 Immigration Court Cases Being Tossed  Approximately 200,000 deportation cases have been thrown out by Immigration Judges since the start of the Biden administration because the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) hadn’t filed the required Notice to Appear (NTA) with the Court by the time of the scheduled hearing. Without a proper filing, the Court lacks jurisdiction to hear the case and the immigrants, often asylum seekers, lack a way to move their case forward.

Michigan Imam: We Muslims Will Yet ‘Slaughter’ the Jews ‘Like Sheep’  In a sermon at the Islamic Center of Warren, Michigan, in January, Imam Abdou Zindani warned of the fate of Jews everywhere, pointing to a Palestinian businessman who told a Jewish New Yorker what Muslims have in store for the Jews.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry, Jewish man,” he said. “One day will come, and we will slaughter you like a sheep and the stone and the tree will work… undercover for us, [saying:] ‘Hey Muslim, come, there is somebody hiding here, get up and kill him. Image

Poll: 71% of Palestinians Still Approve of Hamas October 7 Terror Attack   A new poll of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza shows that 71% still approve of the terror attack by Hamas on October 7 — a result that is almost unchanged since the same poll was taken late last year, though there have been geographic changes.

Biden's America In Retreat: A Record 11 Embassies Evacuated Under Biden  It is no coincidence that America is increasingly under attack since Biden took office – from the 13 soldiers murdered during his bungled Afghan withdrawal to the deadly attacks against U.S. forces stationed in Iraq, to the increase in cyberattacks coming from China.
   Nor is it a coincidence that 21 armed conflicts have started since Biden took office, and the number of deaths from armed conflicts shot up by 176% from 2020 to 2022...

Schumer's Remarks on Israel Continue to Backfire  

This is the new narrative.
Fighting Hamas would be perpetuating the "cycle of bloodshed and revenge" while giving the terrorists who murdered over a thousand people their own state would be an act of peace.

AOC, progressives revive $234B ‘Green New Deal’ for housing, targeting gas stoves and CO2   It is rife with a handful of far-left wish list items such as an effort to electrify household appliances.

One little-known fact about students who write by hand: They are demonstrably better spellers. Studies suggest longhand note-takers demonstrate better information retention compared to their peers who use laptops. (Students using laptops tend to take more notes, not better ones.) The slow and deliberate attention handwriting requires plays a big part in that. For that reason alone, it should be promoted.

The real problem is not just the cost. It is the fact that electric ambulances have to spend hours every day recharging. It is estimated that they have a range of only about 70 miles, though VCS claim 105 to 110 miles. As we know, driving with a heater or air conditioning on full blast quickly reduces range, as will all the medical devices on board, such as oxygen supply. Recharging takes four hours, and West Midlands reckon their ambulances average about 120 miles a day, which suggest they will need to be recharged twice a day. In other words, they will be unavailable for eight hours out of 24. Tough luck if you need one in the middle of the night! Image

Heads in the sand over vaccine links to cancer and disabilities   One tiny glimmer of light: after three years, NHS chiefs have at last dropped the ‘safe and effective’ propaganda for the covid jabs. They now say it is ‘the safest way to protect yourself from Covid-19’, although this too is untrue. About a year after billions were vaccinated with the mRNA jabs, vaccine recipients began getting infected and reinfected a lot more than the unvaccinated, as referenced in this report.
