Lift up your heads, O gates!

Lift up your heads, O gates!
    And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
    that the King of glory may come in.
 Who is this King of glory?
    The Lord, strong and mighty,
    the Lord, mighty in battle!
 Lift up your heads, O gates!
    And lift them up, O ancient doors,
    that the King of glory may come in.
 Who is this King of glory?
    The Lord of hosts,
    he is the King of glory!
      -Psalm 24:7-12 Image

Chinese Spy Bragged Hochul Was ‘Obedient,’ Coached Her on Pro-CCP Talking Points for Post-COVID Video  China unleashes the pandemic. They infiltrate Hochul's office and get contracts to sell masks and ventilators. Then they get her to talk about them in a positive light. This should be a far greater scandal than it has been thus far.

Ilhan Omar's Tight Connections to Minnesota Fraudsters Who Stole Hundreds of Millions in Welfare Racket   [Rep. Omar] knew who these people were. People she personally knew were making tens of millions of dollars in this program.
   She had been inside the [Safari] facility on numerous occasions and couldn't put two and two together? Either she's terminally naive, or knew and didn't care.

Starmer, Reeves, Lammy et al are the people ruining Britain. They have already taken us a good way into the Great Reset. Britain is heading for bankruptcy. There is no real health care. The transport system has collapsed. The justice system has been destroyed. Farming is finished. Our seas and rivers are full of sewage. Britain’s absurd and cruel energy crisis has been deliberately created by the sanctions on Russia, the closure of North Sea exploration and the utterly wicked net zero policy. Most old people on the British State pension receive £176.45 per week and NOT the much higher figure quoted by politicians and journalists. That’s the full State Pension for people who have worked all their lives: £176.45 per week. It is actually impossible to live on that, and yet millions are forced to try. Our streets and parks are full of rats. Our hotels are full of asylum seekers. Our skies are Gatesian grey with the stuff they are spraying into the stratosphere to dim the sun. Nothing works any more. Image


When Canada first instituted MAiD, the practice was supposed to be "a freedom for terminally ill competent adults who are suffering," said Schadenberg. "It is now being sold to people who are not dying, who have questionable competence, and whose suffering is related to disability and the lack of supports they receive."

The Welcome Demise of Climate Change Catastrophism   Is the American Left finally waking up from its decades-long climate catastrophism stupor? For years, climate alarmism has reigned as political catechism: The planet is burning, and only drastic action -- deindustrialization, draconian regulation, even ceasing childbearing -- could forestall a certain apocalypse. Now, at least some signs are emerging that both the broader public and leading liberal voices may be recoiling from the doom and gloom.

CDC Child Death Records Reveal CATASTROPHIC Transgenerational Harm of Mass mRNA "Vaccination"   “We are just now identifying signals of transgenerational harm…So what’s happened now is, according to CDC data if you look at it starting right after the mass vaccination of childbearing age women in early 2021, there is a statistically significant inflection point.
   So infant mortality rates are steadily going down for 30 years. 2021 hits, mass vaccination. Boom, it shoots right up. It has not gone down since.
   It’s 2025…Babies in 2025 are now dying at 77% excess.

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden...

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” -Matthew 11:28-30

When he says to your disturbed, distracted, restless soul or mind, "Come into me," he is saying, come out of the strife and doubt and struggle of what is at the moment where you stand, into that which was and is and is to be-the eternal, the essential, the absolute.  -Phillips Brooks Image

ICE "Strike Teams" Deployed To Minneapolis After Bombshell Somali Welfare-Fraud Report Linked To Overseas Terror    Meanwhile, hundreds of employees at the Minnesota Department of Human Services blasted far-left Gov. Tim Walz for ignoring repeated warnings about massive Somali welfare-fraud schemes and for retaliating against whistleblowers. Even the NYT called out Walz for this epic mess. 
   Earlier this week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that his agency would investigate whether Minnesota tax dollars had been funneled to al-Shabaab.

The Democrats Always Take Sides Against Normal People Like You  There’s one thing you can be sure of about Democrats, the regime media, and left-wing degenerates in general – they’re always going to take somebody else’s side in a fight. They’re never going to take your side. They’re never going to take the side of decent, patriotic, and normal Americans – in fact, they hate decent, patriotic, and normal Americans. Hate them. And not just a little. They cultivate a burning hatred of us, a loathing that exceeds all reason and understanding. Maybe it’s because they realize they’re freakish perverts. Maybe they recognize that they’re greedy mediocrities and desperately resent that normal people refuse to recognize them as their betters. Or maybe it’s simply that normal people are an obstacle to their power.

Federal Refugee Contractor Admits Entire Resettlement Scheme on Camera (Video)   A 2021 video from Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM) has surfaced, and it is one of the most revealing pieces of evidence ever documented about the refugee-resettlement racket. EMM is one of the nine federally funded refugee contractors that quietly reshape American communities using your tax dollars. In this footage, recorded at All Saints Church in Pasadena, EMM officials speak with total confidence, assuming no one outside their activist circles would ever hear their admissions.
   What they confess is devastating.
   This was not a sermon and not a charitable talk. It was a political strategy briefing taking place inside a church. They explained in detail how religious institutions and the federal government coordinate to expand migration pipelines, pressure Congress, mobilize congregations, redefine what “refugee” means, and embed long-term demographic change at the community level.

Portland Christmas Tree Lighting Turns Into ‘Free Palestine’ Rally   Portland officials avoided saying the word “Christmas” throughout the program, referring to the Christmas tree only as “the tree.” In addition to stripping Christmas of its name, traditional Christmas songs were renamed “holiday songs,” and the ceremony made no effort to acknowledge Hanukkah, Chag HaUrim, or any other winter holiday. Instead, the event opened with the Strong Woman Song, performed by a representative of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. She introduced a speaker who immediately launched into commentary on the Israel–Hamas war, calling the ceremony “the perfect time to bring this up.” Image

UK Government on Verge of Making it Illegal to Tell the Truth...Britain's last days as a free society? In fact, for decades, British officials passed up numerous opportunities to do something to stop the rape gangs and protect British girls. They did so precisely because they feared the professional and even personal ruin that would almost certainly follow being accused of “Islamophobia” and “racism.”
    Instead of correcting this suicidal myopia and acting to save the British nation before it’s too late, the Labour government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer is working to codify this massive cowardice into law. The Telegraph states that “‘prejudicial’ stereotyping or racialization of Muslims which is designed to stir up racial hatred is said to be one strand of a definition [of Islamophobia] drawn up by a working group for ministers.” Image

Nine in ten college students think ‘words can be violence’: survey   At the same time, moderate and conservative students have become more open to allowing controversial speakers, while liberal students have maintained or increased their opposition to those speakers.

Owning a Smartphone at Age 12 Is Linked to These Health Issues in Kids Researchers in the US have found that owning a phone at the age of 12 was associated with an increased risk of depression, obesity, and insufficient sleep, compared to not having one.

In one way or another, we can build a biblical case for Satan influencing us from within. We probably need to stop short of being too confident in suggesting the means through which he does this. Is it by directly inserting thoughts into our brains or somehow twisting our affections? Does he use a kind of neurological process similar to how we think and remember? We don’t know. But while we can be confident that he cannot make us sin, it seems clear enough that he can tempt us toward it through some inward means.

And you show that you are a letter from Christ...

And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.  -2 Corinthians 3:3-6 Image

Quebec is set to ban prayer in public — with a fine of over C$1,000 for those who dare invoke the deity outside. This strengthens an existing ban on public officials like teachers from wearing the kippah or turbans at work, and follows a number of pro-Palestine events that included Islamic prayers as a part of the demonstrations. Opponents of the bill argue that this will make the Canadian province one of the most hostile places for religion anywhere in the world, especially when it comes to Muslim women. Supporters, for their part, argue that freedom of religion is maintained insofar as everyone is allowed to practice their religion, just not in public.

Is Ireland About to Erupt Into a Civil War Over ‘Illegal Immigration’?  Official details surrounding the alleged rape of a 10-year-old Irish girl by a 26-year-old “asylum seeker” are murky due to a system that protects not only the victim, but also the alleged predator.

DHS Docs Reveal National Guard Shooter Just the Tip of the Iceberg for Afghan Refugee Jihadis  After the Biden regime’s catastrophically botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, regime wonks flooded the U.S. with thousands of Afghan refugees, without paying any particular attention to whether or not they were Islamic jihadis. Now those particular chickens have begun to come home to roost.

Useless U...U.S. colleges are rapidly losing relevance, and students need to examine their options  It’s time for students and their parents to reconsider whether a college degree is necessary. Unless a student is pursuing a career that requires higher education, it would be better for them, their families, and taxpayers to skip college and explore other options. They can acquire skills that will enrich their lives and, at the same time, help them become productive members of society.

U. of Oklahoma Student Says Transgender Instructor Failed Her for Quoting Bible in Essay on Gender   A University of Oklahoma student said her psychology instructor gave her a failing grade on an essay in which she cited the Bible, in violation of her First Amendment rights. The school now says it has placed the instructor, a man who claims to be a woman, on administrative leave while it investigates the matter.

Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

O Lord our God, Who has called us to serve You...

O Lord our God,
Who has called us to serve You,
In the midst of the world’s affairs,
When we stumble, hold us;
When we fall, lift us up;
When we are hard pressed with evil, deliver us;
When we turn from what is good, turn us back;
And bring us at last to Your glory.
-St. Alcuin

The Insurrectionist Democrats Endanger the Troops with Their Incompetent and Dangerous Legal Advice The vast majority of service members hearing this call to mutiny are not constitutional scholars. Some of them probably believe the tripe that they are being fed. To act upon these elected charlatans’ subornation of mutiny and sedition, however, would destroy their family, personal, and professional lives.

A coordinated bid to tell troops to distrust their Commander-in-Chief reveals how far some lawmakers will go to erode military discipline and destabilize the constitutional order.

Pregnancy Center Lawfare: Will the Supremes End This? Tuesday, Dec. 2, will determine whether America’s crisis pregnancy centers can operate freely or whether politicians in pro-abortion states can continue to harass them with lawfare. Tuesday the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, Inc. v. Platkin.

“As we see time and again in Canada and other jurisdictions that record the reasons that people opt for euthanasia and assisted suicide, the end-of-life concerns are predominantly non-medical. ‘Isolation and loneliness’, ‘existential suffering’, being a burden – none of these are medical. Rather, they are psychological, emotional, familial and even spiritual in nature, and the state should not be assisting such people to end their lives to escape this normal part of the human condition”.
   “Instead, people experiencing these hardships need support and love, not despair and an early grave.

DHS: Nearly 7000 Predatory Migrants Set Free From NYC Jails Since January “Attorney General James and her fellow New York Sanctuary politicians are releasing murderers, terrorists, and sexual predators back into our neighborhoods and putting American lives at risk,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “We are calling on Letitia James to stop this dangerous derangement and commit to honoring the ICE arrest detainers of the more than 7,000 criminal illegal aliens in New York’s custody. It is common sense. Criminal illegal aliens should not be released back onto our streets to terrorize more innocent Americans.”
  The stupidity of open borders activism becomes apparent when examining the real world consequences of unrestricted and unvetted immigration. Image

Under the despotic autopen administration (AKA bilious Biden) the U.S. had a policy called “Operation Allies Welcome.” It might as well have been called Operation Everyone Welcome. Estimates are that about 190,000 Afghan aliens were admitted since 2021, but the vetting was so ineffectually Bidenesque that nobody really knows what we don’t know.


The fraud involved a massive, complex network of nonprofits and affiliates, largely run through the Somali community. Nonprofits tied to the Somali community claimed to have fed tens of thousands of non-existent hungry children, claimed to have provided services to non-existent homeless, and claimed to have provided therapy for non-existent autistic Somali children. Kickbacks were paid, lavish lifestyles were funded, and money was sent overseas — some of it even allegedly funneled to a terror group.

Reindustrializing America Without Retraining Americans Is Futile “We do not have trade schools,” he said. “We are not investing in training our next generation—people like my grandfather, who had nothing and built a middle-class life.
   But it’s not just at Ford where Farley sees a mismatch in jobs and workers.
   “We have over a million openings in critical jobs, emergency services, trucking, factory workers, plumbers, electricians, and tradesmen,” he said. “God forbid we ever get into a war. Google’s not going to be able to make the tanks and the planes. This is a self-defense for our country issue.” Image

‘Biggest Assault On Our Liberties in 800 Years’: UK Abolishing Trial by Jury Threatens Freedom of Speech The legal studies cited are said to have found that in cases over the past ten years, 16 per cent of defendants using freedom of speech as a defence were acquitted when brought before a magistrate’s court, where the bench both heard evidence and decides the guilt. In Crown Courts where there are juries, however, 28 per cent were cleared. Image

Church Nativity Display Includes Zip-Tied Baby Jesus, Roman Soldiers as ICE Agents   A left-wing church in Illinois put out a Nativity scene with a zip-tied baby Jesus, Roman soldiers depicted as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, and Mary and Joseph wearing gas masks.
   Lake Street Church of Evanston said in a post to Facebook last week that the display “reimagines the nativity as a scene of forced family separation, drawing direct parallels between the Holy Family’s refugee experience and contemporary immigration detention practices.”

Pfizer’s new flu jab is a turkey–that’s why they are keeping quiet   Luckily, vaccine sleuth Alex Berenson is more diligent and reported the outcome of the new Pfizer flu vaccine trials in his Substack in a post titled: ‘VERY URGENT: Pfizer’s mRNA flu shot failed its pivotal clinical trial in adults 65 and over’. Using the figures presented in the Pfizer results, Berenson calculates that over-65s were 6 per cent more likely to get flu, and 49 older recipients of the mRNA vaccine died compared with 46 who had the standard vaccine.

The night is far gone; the day is at hand...

 
Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. -Romans 13:11-14

 Over 5K Afghan migrants flagged on ‘national security’ grounds since 2021, document reveals The Justice Department’s IG, meanwhile, reported in June that 55 individuals who were on a terror watch list but still made it to a US port as of May 2023. Some of them had been added to the list while the evacuation was taking place.
   “According to the FBI, the need to immediately evacuate Afghans overtook the normal processes required to determine whether individuals attempting to enter the United States pose a threat to national security, which increased the risk that bad actors could try to exploit the expedited evacuation,” the IG found.

ANOTHER Afghan ‘Refugee’ Goes Jihad on Us One other problem remains, however: there is a large number of Afghans who are already here, courtesy of the Biden regime’s 2021 Operation Allies Welcome scheme. There’s no telling how many of them may end up following the example of Lakanwal and Alokozay, and embarking upon the path of jihad themselves. We can only hope that, like Alokozay, they’re  apprehended before they can murder any Americans, and deported back to their jihadi homeland, where they will no doubt be able to find plenty to do.

Bessent Moves to Completely Cut Off Illegals From U.S. Financial System  Bessent clarified, “@USTreasury announced that it will issue proposed regulations clarifying that the refunded portions of certain individual income tax benefits are no longer available to illegal and other non-qualified aliens, covering the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Additional Child Tax Credit, the American Opportunity Tax Credit, and the Saver’s Match Credit.”
   Illegal aliens have cost Americans literally billions of dollars. As of the beginning of 2024, the annual cost to American taxpayers for illegal aliens per Newsweek was $150.7 billion.

Aquinas insists that a nation must preserve its “mode of worship” and its constitution if it is to survive as a distinct people. He praised the Old Law’s refusal to admit historically hostile and religiously incompatible nations to Israelite citizenship. The Amalekites, who attacked Israel at every turn and shared neither kinship nor faith, were to be regarded as enduring enemies. The Ammonites and Moabites, whose history with Israel was one of treachery, were never to be admitted to the congregation. These hard measures, Aquinas says, were reasonable because they protected the people’s identity against groups whose orientation was fundamentally hostile.

Churchill: Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.

Nigerian president declares nationwide security emergency after repeated attacks on Christians  US President Donald Trump said he would be redesignating Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” due to persistent anti-Christian violence.
   Despite being around 50 per cent Christian, Nigeria is ranked by Open Doors as the 11th worst country in the world for anti-Christian persecution. Every year more Christians are killed or abducted for their faith than any other country in the world, usually by Islamic militants.


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

The public never hated Biden for aging; they hated the people who used him, wrote the lines, steered the decision, controlled access, hid the flaws, and attacked the truth tellers, while they propped up the performance because their agenda needed a quiet figurehead.

For years, people have been told certain problems simply don’t exist and that the “mountains” rising out of our national landscape are illusions.
   You know the list: The border isn’t wide open, crime is down, failing schools are fine, our cities are flourishing. Nothing is wrong with the country’s direction.
   Millions of people have accepted these claims not because they’ve verified them, but because they’ve heard them repeated endlessly by institutions they once trusted.
   And when the evidence becomes undeniable, their instinct isn’t to reconsider…

Male journalists, broadcasters and comedians have been the biggest cowards in the gender wars.

The military preserves the values that once defined the nation: humility, discipline, shared responsibility, practical competence, and respect for labor. These are not aesthetic preferences. They are survival virtues. They produce units that adapt, soldiers who act, teams that trust each other, and a fighting force that wins. They are the opposite of the prestige-class worldview that sees humble work as degrading and manual labor as a stain on one’s status.

Americans are rightly waking up — much of higher education is now a scam  Countless colleges have transformed into woke indoctrination factories that churn out grads with liberal arts degrees and zero specialized skills.
   A report last year found that two-thirds of colleges require DEI-related courses to graduate, offering classes like “Understanding Diversity in a Pluralistic Society” and “Abolition of Whiteness.”
   Why take on huge debt to be pummeled nonstop with identity politics?

UK: Why have we allowed our classrooms to turn so horrifically violent? Between 2013 and 2023, some 5,000 violent injuries were inflicted upon teachers by their pupils. This resulted in 1,011 teachers suffering fractures, 126 losing consciousness, 16 entirely or partially losing their sight, and four suffered amputations.

It’s finally becoming obvious that marijuana is addictive Thanks to activism from the left, marijuana, which was never part of Western culture, has changed America again. Young people have been told that, unlike cigarettes, marijuana is “safe.” That’s not true, of course. In fact, marijuana has myriad and very profound health risks. There’s also strong evidence that marijuana use can lead to serious, murderous psychopathy
