King of Kings

 
  King of Kings 
 Hillsong Worship

VERSE 1
In the darkness we were waiting
Without hope without light
Till from heaven You came running
There was mercy in Your eyes

To fulfil the law and prophets
To a virgin came the Word
From a throne of endless glory
To a cradle in the dirt

CHORUS:
Praise the Father
Praise the Son
Praise the Spirit three in one
God of glory
Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings

VERSE 2
To reveal the kingdom coming
And to reconcile the lost
To redeem the whole creation
You did not despise the cross

For even in Your suffering
You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation
Jesus for our sake You died

VERSE 3
And the morning that You rose
All of heaven held its breath
Till that stone was moved for good
For the Lamb had conquered death

And the dead rose from their tombs
And the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who’d come
To the Father are restored

VERSE 4
And the Church of Christ was born
Then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this gospel truth of old
Shall not kneel shall not faint

By His blood and in His Name
In His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ
Who has resurrected me

Report: 87% of Terror Suspects Stopped by U.S. Border Agents in 2024 Came from Canada  The consistent high percentage of TSDS-listed individuals stopped at the Canadian border nonetheless brings attention to national security concerns in the north that are often eclipsed by calls to secure the more crowded and chaotic southern border with Mexico.  The Canadian newspaper highlighted the data in the context of President-elect Donald Trump announcing on Monday that he is considering imposing a 25-percent tariff on Canadian goods, and Mexican goods, until both countries help contain what he described as out-of-control mass migration, human trafficking, drug trafficking, and other transnational crime.

UK votes to legalize assisted suicide; final approval of bill pending  A recent survey of over 5,000 British adults carried out by Focaldata on behalf of the Care Not Killing coalition found that a majority (59%) believe it is "impossible to create safeguards that would always prevent people from being coerced into assisted dying." About 24% disagreed with that assessment. The survey also found general confusion among the public about what "assisted dying" means, with around half (52%) believing it involved "life-prolonging treatment."

“I believe the moral case for the Bill fails if a single human were to be killed through spurious arguments about ‘burden of care'”

What had left the tech billionaire so spooked? Andreessen explained:
The AI thing was very alarming. We had meetings this spring that were the most alarming meetings I’ve ever been in. Where they were taking us through their plans, and it was – basically just full government – full government control – like this sort of thing, there will be a small number of large companies that will be completely regulated and controlled by the government, they told us. They said don’t even start startups – there’s just no way that they can succeed – there’s no way that we’re going to permit that to happen.

Colleges in crisis thanks to high costs and intolerant extremism  Universities have suffered a cataclysmic decline in public approval and support.

Biden-Harris admin weaponized DOE, targeted Christian, career colleges with nearly 70% of enforcement: report  The Biden-Harris administration's Department of Education issued 70 percent of its enforcement actions on Christian universities and career schools, despite the fact that these faith-based institutions account for less than 10 percent of the US student population, a new report shows. 
   The report from the American Principles Project (APP) found that "at least 12 Christian colleges have been the target of excessive penalties or banned from receiving federal student aid; by comparison, no Ivy League school has been the recipient of punitive action by the Office of Enforcement." Among the colleges most heavily targeted include Grand Canyon University (GCU) and Liberty University (LU).

As time has passed, we’ve learned more about what actually happened that day. Donald Trump really did authorize 10,000 troops. Nancy Pelosi and DC’s Mayor refused them. They were afraid of the “optics” of armed troops at the Capitol building, though those optics were no longer disturbing when armed troops and fences ringed the Capitol for months thereafter. And now we’re learning the Pentagon purposely delayed sending the National Guard to the Capitol that day.

Parents Keep Filling Up Schools Where Children Learn To Love Western Civilization  The growth of classical education schools is astonishing. The numbers keep rising; there is no sign that the movement is beginning to plateau. Schools open, networks are created, charters are authorized, and kids fill the seats. One would think that as more spaces are available the (supposedly) small number of parents who favor the classical way would be satisfied and demand would diminish.

Prayer for Thanksgiving Day

Prayer for Thanksgiving Day
Almighty God, most merciful Father,
you open your hand 
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
We give you most humble and hearty thanks
that you have crowned the fields with your blessing,
and have permitted us once more
to gather in the fruits of the earth.

Bless and protect the living seed 
of your Word sown in our hearts,
that in the abundant fruits of righteousness
we may always present to you an acceptable thank-offering;
through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one true God, now and forever. Amen.

The collective mental breakdown among self-styled progressives since Donald Trump’s re-election has been quite the sight to behold. The subsequent declaration by many that they will leave X, in protest of that platform’s supposed descent into fascism, has made matters all the more entertaining. What a glorious outpouring of self-importance and self-righteousness, combined with an utter lack of self-awareness. 

TDS represents the professional-managerial class refusing to get the message, to instead take refuge in the stupidity of arrogance. Then again, elites displaying the stupidity of arrogance has been a hardy perennial across history. The wailing, and the febrile sneering, are manifestations of a wounded arrogance.
   Rather than looking in the mirror, they can remain fixated on how awful Donald Trump is and—by extension—how awful everyone who voted for him is. Hence, nothing to see here.
    Certainly, never to see themselves. Above all, never to see themselves.

Open borders advocates always claim that they are the compassionate ones who truly care, but the human toll of their false compassion are the dead and raped children whom they neglected.

None of the activists who brought illegal aliens across the border, who protested outside detention centers and filed lawsuits ever found the time to check on any of the abused children. It was not their love for the migrants that motivated them to fight for open borders, but their hatred for America. For them and for the cartel members, the children were a means to an end.

Trump Threatens Mexico, Canada, and China With Massive Punishments for Enabling the Border Invasion    President-elect Donald Trump announced Monday evening one of the first major actions he will take on his first day in office: “Charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States” due to their “ridiculous Open Borders.”
   “As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing Crime and Drugs at levels never seen before,” Trump said on Truth Social.

Dropping the Trump Cases Shows They Were Election Interference  The tell was always there when Democrats, their media and their prosecutors kept on arguing that Trump represented a “threat to democracy”. The various cases against President-elect Trump were not serious methodically argued products of an objective legal process, but successors to Russiagate whose original and final purpose had always been election interference.
   The rule of thumb is that current and future candidates are targeted with personal legal cases aimed at wearing them down and disqualifying them as presidential candidates, while sitting presidents have their administrations targeted in order to inhibit their functioning.
   The abandonment of the Trump cases simply signals that the ‘resistance’ is moving from the former to the latter.

VD Hanson: The Trump Counterrevolution: A Return to Sanity  The country no longer must apologize incessantly for its past or present but can move on—content that it need not be perfect to be better than all the alternatives.
   The age of flashing pronouns, renaming iconic landmarks, statue toppling, trashing the dead, vandalizing with impunity the campus library, or spouting anti-Semitic venom is passing.
   So, another name for the Trump counterrevolution is a simple return to sanity.

Muslim rioters rampage with police blessing: Today Amsterdam, tomorrow Britain?  Around the same time as the Amsterdam attacks, Belgian police arrested six suspects who were allegedly planning an Amsterdam-inspired ‘Jew hunt’ in Antwerp, and teenagers in a Jewish youth football team were attacked by a knife-wielding pro-Palestine mob in Berlin – ‘hunted down’ by Arab youths. The Berlin police chief has admitted Berlin is not safe for ‘openly gay’ or Jewish people: ‘Unfortunately, there are certain neighbourhoods where the majority of people are of Arab descent, who also have sympathies for terrorist groups.’ 
   How many police chiefs in the UK would openly admit to such ‘no-go’ zones here, or that dozens of Sharia courts are allowed to operate freely and give out ‘Islamic’ judgments to Muslims living in UK communities?

We Can’t Get Hurricane Victims In North Carolina The Help They Need, But We Have $174 Billion For The War In Ukraine?   Just follow the money, and that will tell you a lot about our federal government’s priorities.  It has been about two months since Hurricane Helene absolutely devastated vast stretches of North Carolina, Tennessee and other states, and many victims have still not gotten any help from the government at all.  Meanwhile, our government seems to have plenty of money for the war in Ukraine.

North Carolina dumps on hurricane survivors and the Amish  After the horrific hurricane damage that destroyed or damaged as many as 100,000 homes in Western North Carolina, one would think FEMA and local officials would move heaven and earth to get those affected out of flimsy tents and trailers and into solid dwellings as winter inexorably descends.

Biden-Harris admin’s NSF spent over $2 billion imposing DEI on scientific research: Senate report  The federal government has spent over $2 billion dollars over the last three years infusing and embedding diversity, equity and inclusion concepts into scientific research – tainting the efforts with ideology and diminishing discoveries — according to the recently published findings of a report commissioned by a Senate subcommittee.
   The National Science Foundation has awarded taxpayer dollars “to projects that divide Americans and support investigations or publications that are of questionable scientific value,” the 43-page report states.

Education research can and should address real problems—student discipline, teacher retention, and math instruction. But studies compromised by progressive activism only waste taxpayer dollars and leave us in the dark on how to improve education for all students.

Seventy percent of the campaign's known total spending flowed through four firms: Media Buying & Analytics, Gambit Strategies, Bully Pulpit Interactive, and Dupont Circle Strategies. Image

Multiple Migrants Arrested in 'Sanctuary States' for Attacking Women, Children, & Dogs   What do Massachusetts, New York, and Colorado have in common?  According to the nonprofit Global Refuge, they're all considered "sanctuary states." Unfortunately, something else they all have in common is that some of the migrants they're harboring have been arrested for attacking women, children, and dogs in recent weeks.

Donald Trump won the electoral college and the popular vote with a mandate to restore border security and immigration sanity. He received a near-record number of minority voters for a Republican candidate, given they believed that most often must deal with the realities of what elites have unleashed.
   In other words, the proverbial people are on to the no-borders elites. They suffer firsthand from their utopian bromides and are tired of being smeared as racists and xenophobes for simply wishing the United States to follow the law, restore secure borders, and end illegal immigration.
   And now they have the power and mandate to do all of that.

If Trump actually does any of this — that is, if he increases deportations with an emphasis on national security threats, criminal, and recent entrants — it will have a powerful deterrent effect on people in foreign nations considering illegal entry into the United States.

Biden Administration Rigging System to Protect Illegals From Trump A new exclusive report from the New York Post has exposed the Biden-Harris administration’s new ICE portal app that will allow migrants in NYC to skip in-person check-ins at ICE offices.

Crime of the Century? Naomi Wolf delivers the harrowing facts about the Pfizer jab  The FDA was aware to at least some extent of the jab’s adverse effects. But the researchers for The Pfizer Papers found no evidence that the FDA did anything about them. It certainly didn’t tell the public. Pfizer, for its part, appears to have hidden 97% of the jab’s negative outcomes, categorizing some deaths as “non-serious” and radically downplaying the mortality figures for fetuses and infants. Pfizer’s habitual delays in reporting on injection-related deaths, meanwhile, led the FDA to overstate the jab’s safety. In short, the FDA approval of the Pfizer shot was awarded partly in spite of things the FDA knew about its dangers and partly because it had been given “inaccurate data” by Pfizer.

Part 1: The sleeping giant of the American public has finally awakened  It seems however that the 2024 election signals a real cultural transition, far deeper and more significant than the mere shift of voting patterns to the right that most pundits are noting by all demographic groups.
No, what is happening is a shift in passion. The American public has awakened in a way I have never seen. I give you this news report as a clear sign, as the events it describes occurred last week, after the November election, when Americans in the past would gone back into slumber and stop paying attention. Watch and be amazed, not just by the outrage by hundreds of ordinary citizens, but by the fact that this outrage was reported correctly and sympathetically by a television news report.

Maybe instead of showing contempt for people who vote differently than you do, reach out and ask for a conversation and ask them why they do what they do so you can maybe understand them better. Then again, if you are a 49-year-old adult who needs a "safe space," you probably have bigger issues to address.

   He adds, “And this Bible was found on a pole open to Revelation.”
