Since then we have a great high priest...

Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.  For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. 
-Hebrews 4:14-16 Image

Our Lord Jesus Christ, the word of God, of his boundless love, became what we are that he might make us what he himself is.  -Irenaeus

After Trump took office for his second term last year, he issued an executive order establishing a federal "Religious Liberty Commission."
   "President Trump is addressing emerging threats to religious liberty to ensure Americans can freely practice their faith without government interference," said a White House fact sheet about this commission.

This Democrat Threatened to Sic Police on Easter Churchgoers. Now She Wants to Be in Congress   “Don’t be going out,” Cognetti warned constituents during a 2020 virtual town hall, just two days before Easter. “Don’t be congregating at the park. Don’t have a church service this weekend. Don’t make my police have to go out and tell you guys to stop.”
   At the time, Pennsylvania had a state-wide religious exemption to its stay-at-home order. 11 days after issuing her threat, Cognetti acknowledged that she had no authority to order faith-based institutions to cease operations at another town hall.

Canada: School Bans Kids From Eating To Not Offend Muslims During Ramadan  A Canadian school has sparked outrage after it designated ‘No Food’ zones at certain times inside its cafeteria in order to be inclusive to Muslim children who are fasting for Ramadan.
   Lunch areas at Fairview School in Calgary have been named ‘food free’ to support students undertaking the religious fast, according to an email sent by administrators.
   The email informed parents that the cafeteria was a ‘No Food Space’ during the first half of lunch for younger pupils in grades 4 to 6.
   Children in grades 7 to 9 would be banned from eating food inside their lunch room for the full hour-long break, according to the email.

If anti-Muslim hostility is a crime, how about hating Christians?  If a Christian preacher says that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation and that therefore there is no salvation in Islam, and that Allah is not the God whom Christians worship, and if he publicly questions the character of Muhammad or denounces the doctrine of jihad, will he be accused of stirring up anti-Muslim hostility? Will he be guilty of treating Muslims ‘as a collective group defined by negative characteristics’?

California: Lawyer Among Three Arrested in Violent Restaurant Attack on Hebrew-Speaking Diners  The victims were waiting for a table and speaking to each other in Hebrew when three young men approached and began punching them repeatedly, knocking one of them unconscious.

It's a dangerous time, and given events around the globe and the degree to which the United States, through its immigration policy, has imported some ancient grievances and conflicts, Americans can probably expect further acts of terrorism in the U.S. So what have Capitol Hill lawmakers, and particularly Democratic lawmakers, done? They have decided to stretch and demoralize security forces at the nation's airports at a moment when security should be increased, not burdened.

Biden Buried China’s Voter File Breach While Britain Fought Back  The data taken included names, addresses, and driver's license numbers, giving foreign actors a detailed look at American voters. That kind of access doesn't just sit in a database; it allows a foreign government to build digital identities, test messaging, and refine influence operations with precision.

It's Always Been Telling That Dems Won't Even Acknowledge the Possibility of Election Fraud  Fair, secure, and transparent elections should be a priority for all of us who vote here in this glorious Republic of ours. The 21st century Democrats are opposed to virtually everything that safeguards election integrity, though.

'Some of Them Voted': DOJ Exposes Thousands of Ineligible Ballots Nationwide   On Tuesday, United States Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon, speaking with the Newsmax network's Bianca de la Garza, described the results of a review of 50-60 million voter records. She claims that there are hundreds of thousands of ineligible and outdated records still being held as active, and that some of the people the records belong to may have illegally voted.

The Election Fraud Debate:  How Are Votes Really Stolen?   The ways to steal votes in America are as varied as there are states, perhaps as varied as there are cities. As soon as people build in a defense against one method, they come up with another.

AI Insiders Warn of Dangers of ‘Emergent Strategic Behavior’ They found that when an AI agent was given incentives such as self-preservation or conflicting goal metrics, it proved itself capable of misaligned and malicious behaviors.
   Some of the behaviors the team observed included lying, unauthorized compliance with nonowners, data breaches, destructive system-level actions, identity “spoofing,” and partial system takeover. They also observed cross-AI agent propagation of “unsafe practices.” Image

What Fresh Hell Is This? New York Mag Lionizes Shoplifter and Gives Tips on How to Steal  But these days, many liberals have decided that tolerance for crime is not enough. Now the criminals have to be celebrated, and it doesn't even matter whether they are somehow victims. Upper-middle-class "dine and dashers" are now a hot thing. People who stop into a grocery store and wander the aisles, eating things and then leaving without paying is just smart, not stealing.
