God is always speaking...

Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,

 for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints;

   but let them not turn back to folly.

-Psalm 85:8

God is always speaking; He is never still. Just as in prayer it is not we who momentarily catch His attention but He ours, so when we fail to hear His voice it is not because He is not speaking so much as that we are not listening.  -Charles H. Brent

Nigeria's Jihad: Only a problem if you try to take action to stop it? Really?   Now that you have a serious administration taking the problem seriously, the snakes are coming out of the woodwork who want to downplay what is happening. Some for nationalistic reasons, some because they are scared of action on anything, some because Orange Man Bad, and others because, well, we can’t make Muslims look bad, even if they are slaughtering Christians.

   Oh, and don’t forget the kidnapping. On Friday, the latest horror took place that we are reliably told is not taking place.

It really is that simple: Christians are being killed for being Christians  Never mind that Nigerian Christians are crying out for help, insisting ethnic cleansing is taking place even as journalists verify that it isn’t. When woke Westerners said we must “respect people’s lived experience”, it seems they referred exclusively to themselves, not to Congolese whose throats were slit in a clinic by Islamists on November 14. Nor clerics being locked up in Armenia. Nor the hundreds in Pakistan’s jails for blasphemy. They have somehow slid down the list of concern, even though their cause ought to be our own, for the West is what it is because of Christianity.

How the UK Police Criminalised Christian Speech  Forget terror plots, knife crime, or rampant theft, Britain’s police have bigger things to worry about—Christian street preachers. Shaun O’Sullivan, a 36-year-old preacher at the evangelical Awaken church in Swindon, was acquitted unanimously by a jury last week at Crown Court. He faced charges of racial and religious harassment against Muslims for saying the words: “Pray for the Jews and pray for the Palestinians.” This culminated in a six-day trial, costing an estimated £20,000.

The Democratic Party's 'Illegal Orders' Narrative Is Falling Apart at the Seams  But the fact of the matter remains: if President Trump had issued actual illegal orders, Democrats would be able to name them. They have not.

   Their narrative is falling apart in real time, and it's incredible to watch. Screenshot

Democrats Calling for Mutiny Must Be Punished 

By now everyone is aware that six Democrats in Congress created videos in which they openly encourage members of the U.S. military and Intelligence Community to mutiny against the commander in chief.  They couched their seditious statements in the pretense that they are interested only in protecting the Constitution, but their message is unmistakable: Resist President Trump’s lawful orders, and we’ll have your backs.

Massive fraud by Somali immigrants in Minnesota hands GOP political hammer against liberal programs Federal authorities say the fraud across multiple programs in Minnesota alone now totals in the billions of dollars and continues to grow. And last week officials told City Journal that some of the money siphoned away by Somali immigrants made its way to Somalia to the Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group Al-Shabaab.

The Jobs Americans Won’t Do? Try: The Skills Young Americans Weren’t Taught To understand why “Americans won’t do these jobs,” you have to start with the fact that millions of Americans never learned how to work in the first place. Not because they’re lazy, but because the culture that used to teach work simply vanished.

    For decades, teens worked bagging groceries, bussing tables, mowing lawns, babysitting, or stocking shelves at the IGA. They gained skills and moved up into more responsible positions, all before college, and they saved money to go to college instead of taking out horrifyingly expensive college loans. Screenshot

Shock Report: Locking Up Criminals Reduces Crime  "Violent crime is overwhelmingly the work of a small group of repeat offenders," Fortgang reported, "that is, it is highly concentrated." But even I was shocked by just how concentrated it really is.

   In New York City in 2022, just 327 people accounted for a third of all shoplifting, with more than 6,000 arrests between them.

COVID Vaccines: 5 Years After World’s Largest Medical Experiment, There’s Still No Mandatory System for Tracking Millions of Injuries   Today, untold millions of patients with mysterious or debilitating new conditions are said to be routinely told their symptoms are due to anxiety, depression, unexplained “long COVID” or simply treated without regard to what could be the cause, without any effort to collect the data that could prove or disprove a vaccine connection.

Canada’s healthcare system collapses while Carney gives a billion dollars to healthcare in other nations   Canada’s healthcare system is broken – inefficient, expensive, and leaving tens of thousands of Canadians to die waiting for care every year. Yet the silence is deafening, and any attempt to discuss alternatives is shouted down by defenders of a failing socialised model.
