Come, O children, listen to me...

Come, O children, listen to me;
    I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
What man is there who desires life
    and loves many days, that he may see good?
Keep your tongue from evil
    and your lips from speaking deceit.
Turn away from evil and do good;
    seek peace and pursue it.
-Psalm 34:11-14

European Author Of Banned Book: ‘It Is Christianity They Are Trying To Censor’  Hostility to free speech and Christianity is growing dramatically across Europe, slowly shifting restrictions on these fundamental human rights closer to those of repressive regimes such as Russia and China. A former U.S. ambassador estimated England alone now jails more citizens over speech crimes than Vladimir Putin’s Russia, including numerous prosecutions of people for admitting to silent prayer on public property. The systemic repression of speech has fueled citizen unrest, massive recent opposition party wins in local U.K. elections, and calls for Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s resignation.

The DNC’s 2024 Autopsy Is Here, and Oh Boy, It’s a Dumpster Fire Of course, most of what the autopsy actually concludes isn't exactly earth-shattering. Democrats didn't just lose because of Donald Trump. They lost because they've spent years drifting away from working-class voters, men, rural America, and irregular voters, while banking everything on anti-Trump messaging and demographic assumptions that turned out to be dead wrong.

Illegals Are Killing America...Another horrific murder shows what we’re up against — not just the illegal aliens, but the judges who keep releasing them   What’s actually happening is that Democrat politicians are knowingly allowing the murder of thousands of innocent American citizens, and when the murders take place, all too often, they urge leniency for the killer — as federal prosecutors suspect they will in the case of Gorman’s accused killer — or somehow blame the killing on Trump.  We need to recognize that illegal alien crime is not a small problem; it is a cancer that has been growing and that will continue to grow until ICE roots it out.

Trump Moves to Remove Illegal Aliens From Banking System, Protecting American Finances   President Donald Trump has issued an executive order taking action against the Biden-era phenomenon of banks lending or facilitating payments to illegal aliens.

California Medicaid Program Under Fire for Covering Exorcisms, Tribal Prayers  Kennedy also questioned why Medicaid funds were being used for nontraditional benefits such as housing support, gym memberships, scooters, bicycles, and in-home meal preparation.

NYC teachers say phone ban in classrooms has caused ‘jaw dropping’ change in students’ attention  “They’re talking with each other instead of just looking down at their phones,” he marveled. “Now they have to communicate, they have to socialize. They have to talk, find out how their day is going, what’s going on, what class do you have next, did you do last night’s homework?”

Therefore, preparing your minds for action...

Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”   -1 Peter 1:13-16

Spencer Pratt and the Dem Destruction of Los Angeles The guy is a patriot. The guy isn’t giving up. He’s staying in the fight. And even if he doesn’t win this battle, and he’s not going to win this battle, he’s doing something for the rest of us. He’s shining the spotlight on the complete failure that the Democrat Party has embraced as it has invited the socialists and communists into the highest echelons of its ranks. Los Angeles won’t save itself, but the cautionary example that Los Angeles provides may help other places save themselves.
   Thank you, Spencer, for sounding the alarm, and good luck to you even though you don’t have a chance in hell.

Biden’s DOJ Protected SPLC From Scrutiny, Dropped DOJ Investigation   According to Jordan, as far as the Biden administration was concerned, the political necessity of keeping the SPLC in good standing outweighed any interest in accountability.

Fiscal burden of illegal aliens gradually disappearing due to Trump border crackdown The Trump administration has taken drastic measures to reduce illegal immigration, fortify the border, and restrict illegal aliens' access to taxpayer-funded social programs and banking products that burden American taxpayers.

For you have delivered my soul from death...

 For you have delivered my soul from death, 
yes, my feet from falling, 
that I may walk before God 
 in the light of life. 
-Psalm 56:13

JB Pritzker Admin Depicts White People, Cops as Mosquitoes in Microaggression Training That Rails Against 'Color Blindness'  Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker's (D.) administration offers a taxpayer-funded training on "microaggressions" and other "exclusionary behaviors" that depicts white people and police officers as mosquitoes who suck blood from people of color.

Sex therapist Dem candidate blasted over vile call to convert ICE facilities into camps for ‘American Zionists’ with castration center   The top Democrat in a southern Texas House race, sex therapist Maureen Galindo, has called for transforming an immigration facility into a “prison for American Zionists” equipped with a castration center.
   Galindo’s campaign made a vile pledge that she will introduce legislation to that effect if she gets elected to Congress after baselessly alleging her Dem runoff foe was “being paid to put Jews and Mexicans in concentration camps via Zionist trafficking networks.”

With America no longer playing the fool, public and private entities are withdrawing from or reducing their climate commitments and reembracing fossil fuels. Of course, this would not happen if they really believed the hype that the world faces a pending climate catastrophe that can be stopped exclusively by eschewing fossil fuels. They are tacitly admitting Trump is right and climate change is a scam/hoax.

The “Pipeline” Problem That Medical Schools Don’t Want to Discuss Demographic disparities in medical and scientific knowledge show up long before admissions time. DEI manipulation at the end of the process doesn’t solve the problem.

For to this you have been called...

For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. -1 Peter 2:21-24

‘Emergency In The Church’: Catholic Leaders Decry Vatican Report That Pushes Homosexuality   While originally tasked with examining issues considered to be “controversial” within the church, the group apparently decided on its own to switch “paradigms” by framing these issues as “emerging.” That move, explained early on in the report, set the stage for suggesting a shift from sound Catholic doctrine about marriage and sexuality to what canon lawyer and pastor Father Gerald Murray called a “full-fledged endorsement of the homosexual lifestyle.”
   The authors of the jargon-infused report employed the linguistic tactics so common among those attempting to lead people to question their closely held beliefs.

The Long Dark Shadow Cast by October 7th...A massacre streamed live to an approving international audience  The long dark shadow cast by October 7th will not recede. It will follow the perpetrators, but also those who celebrated them, rationalized them, apologized on behalf of them, or hid their crimes beneath the language of politics. Those who supported these atrocities, or apologized on behalf of their monstrous perpetrators, can never walk back what they chose to excuse. That choice will remain a stain on their very souls – an indelible mark of Cain.
   Somehow, the entire world has been drawn into the dark vortex of October 7, unable to escape its moral gravity.

Left’s election fraud denials crumble as DOJ exposes two-decade-long California cheating scheme  Despite evidence to the contrary, liberal voting activists have spent years minimizing cheating concerns and portraying those who want to investigate such problems as “election deniers.” But the Justice Department, FBI and Homeland Security are now systematically exposing electoral fraud from noncitizen voting to ballot-box-stuffing schemes that are turning the table in epic fashion.

Virginia Officers Suspended After Reporting ‘Trans’ Recruit in Female Locker Room Two police officers in Virginia, one male and one female, were understandably extremely uncomfortable after a biological male wearing makeup kept invading the women’s locker room. Their superiors first told the female officer to take a gun with her into the shower area, and then suspended both her and her male colleague for being "bigots."

Transgender Indian migrant without work visa who got elected to Scottish Parliament wants locals to pay reparations to Palestinians   The trans Indian was allowed to run for office based on a recent rule change that lets foreigners on short-term visas run for office (why even pretend to have a country anymore?).

Seattle: Dem who welcomed socialist mayor's 'change' now sounding alarm over billionaire exodus: 'Gravely concerned'   Wilson, a self-proclaimed socialist, recently went viral for laughing off the exodus of billionaires and business leaders from her city, saying, "I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave our state are super overblown," and adding, "the ones that leave? Like, bye."

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

The Nigerian government has responded to decades of this violence with promises, investigations, military deployments which arrive after one massacre and leave before the next, and periodic statements expressing concern. The pattern is identical in village after village. Militants arrive at night. They know the community is unarmed. They kill men, women and children. They burn homes and churches. They steal cattle and land. The army shows up days later. Nothing changes. The militants move on to the next village.

When doctors spend more time serving systems than serving patients, medicine changes. When physicians are afraid to speak honestly, medicine changes. When throughput quietly shapes bedside decisions, medicine changes. When documentation matters more than human presence, medicine changes. And when physicians slowly begin feeling emotionally trapped inside giant institutional systems that they no longer control, we should probably stop calling that burnout because burnout does not adequately describe what many doctors now feel. It feels more like captivity.

"Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth!"

“Turn to me and be saved,
    all the ends of the earth!
    For I am God, and there is no other.
By myself I have sworn;
    from my mouth has gone out in righteousness
    a word that shall not return:
‘To me every knee shall bow,
    every tongue shall swear allegiance.
   -Isaiah 45:22-

New York Islamists Call for ‘Intifada’ at Ground Zero and UK Arrests, Threatens Nationalists  In a sense, 9/11 was part of globalizing the intifada, and that is precisely why the bloodthirsty Islamists chose that site for their protest. Their message is blindingly clear, which is that they want more terrorist attacks like the one that cost nearly 3000 lives back in 2001.

Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.
This synthesis brings observant Muslims into direct conflict with the United States Constitution’s Amendment I, Amendment VI, Amendment XIV, Amendment XIX, and several other clauses.

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

Party of Lies and Murder: 85% of Democrats don’t believe the Democrat attempts to murder Trump were real  Democrats lie about President Trump’s assassination attempts for the same reason Muslims claim that they don’t believe that Al Qaeda carried out the attacks of September 11 and at the same time celebrate and take pride in those very same attacks. They want the end result, but they also want to evade the blame for it and claim that the attacks were made up by the victims.

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

Justice is coming for victims of dangerous illegal-migrant truckers  The court’s unanimous 9-0 decision in Montgomery vs. Caribe Transport II, issued Thursday, cleared the way for victims to sue freight brokers for alleged “negligent hiring.”

Another Terrorist Attack By a Cultural Enricher in Italy  Islam is the religion of peace, but apparently an awful lot of Muslims didn't get the memo. Ramming incidents are becoming more common in Europe and serve as an easier version of the IED, allowing people to commit random mayhem without all the fuss of building a bomb.

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

UK: Why do we accept this Muslim assault on our faith?  Certainly there could be nothing worse than to see those churches taken over and adapted to the requirements of Islam; for bodies prostrated before a deity who demands constant demonstrations of submission to take the place of knees and heads freely bowed in adoration of the one true loving God.

UK pastor says he was arrested for preaching the gospel, speaking out against Islam   "A peaceful, Christian preacher was treated like a serious criminal for expressing his Christian beliefs and that Islam is a false religion in a public place," said Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre. "The footage raises fundamental questions about whether policing in this country is now criminalizing Christianity while failing to apply the law equally and consistently."

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

Hochul Blames Trump While Long Island Loses Its Trains  The pattern has become painfully familiar; when problems arise under Democratic governance, the explanation somehow wanders toward Trump. Crime, prices, border chaos, campus unrest, foreign policy, the Mets can't buy a hit, and now a New York rail strike all get shoved into the same blame blanket.
   Hochul didn't inherit a one-day labor dispute from Washington; she watched a three-year contract fight roll toward the cliff and then complained about who stood nearby when it went over. Image

As Student Scores Plummet, Teachers’ Union Head Rants Against Trump While student scores continued to hit horrifying lows across America’s public schools, American Federation of Teachers (AFT) union boss Randi Weingarten is prioritizing anti-Trump and pro-illegal alien propaganda.

Google's AI Overviews: Stealing Content, Starving Independent Media, and Supercharging Leftist Disinformation Ahead of Midterms  Google’s AI Overviews take these already-orchestrated campaigns and give them the sheen of neutral, authoritative truth. Trained heavily on legacy media sources, the summaries naturally reflect that echo chamber. Selective sourcing and omission of dissenting facts tilt the scales. Even worse, the AI sometimes simply hallucinates.

The Lord is my light and my salvation...

 
Psalm 27 (The Lord Is My Light)

You lift me above the raging storm
You conquer my enemies

I wait, wait for the Lord
In faith, trusting Your Word
2x

Chorus

You did not choose me, but I chose you...

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. These things I command you, so that you will love one another.  -John 15:16-17

How can we love a holy God? The simplest answer I can give to this vital question is that we can’t. Loving a holy God is beyond our moral power. The only kind of God we can love by our sinful nature is an unholy god, an idol made by our own hands. Unless we are born of the Spirit of God, unless God sheds his holy love into our hearts, unless He stoops in His grace to change our hearts, we will not love Him. He is the One who takes the initiative to restore our souls. Without Him we can do nothing of righteousness. Without Him we would be doomed to everlasting alienation from His holiness. We can only love Him because He first loved us. -R.C. Sproul

Canada's Assisted Suicide Program Could Include Children And The Mentally Ill   It's truly a nightmare, but it's a fantastic dream for globalists seeking population reduction.  While legitimate arguments could be made for people already close to death and in severe pain, the problem comes from opening the door and setting a precedent.  It starts with the sick and dying, and ends with publicly authorized suicide mills for any impressionable person that thinks life is not supposed to include struggle or suffering.

The Islamization of the UK is proceeding rapidly. The Left invites Islamization, but in the end will be displaced because the only true politics of Islam is Islam. Eventually the pretenses of social justice, anti-war and other fig leaves under which Islamic politics operate disappear and all that’s left is Islam.


Ask the growing number of detransitioners. Many now live with deep regret, sterilization, physical scarring, and emotional devastation after making permanent decisions they were too young to fully understand. Some were misinformed. Some were rushed. Some were pressured. Too many were failed by a culture that prioritized ideology over caution. Their stories matter, even when activists would rather silence them.
   A civilized society does not ignore these warnings.
   This should not be about hate, cruelty, or denying anyone dignity. It should be about truth, responsibility, and protecting vulnerable people from irreversible damage. It should be about recognizing that public policy must be rooted in sanity, evidence, and stewardship of taxpayer resources—not ideological coercion.

I sought the Lord, and he answered me...

I sought the Lord, and he answered me
   and delivered me from all my fears. 
Those who look to him are radiant, 
   and their faces shall never be ashamed. 
This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him 
   and saved him out of all his troubles. 
The angel of the Lord encamps 
   around those who fear him, and delivers them. 
    -Psalm 34:4-7 Image

 O Lord our God, grant us grace to desire Thee with our whole heart; that, so desiring, we may seek, and seeking find Thee; and so finding Thee may love Thee; and loving Thee, may hate those sins from which Thou hast redeemed us. -St. Anselm

Mass Worship Event ‘Rededicate 250’ Happening This Sunday in D.C.  Coming this Sunday, May 17, the National Mall in Washington, D.C., will be hosting an event titled “Rededicate 250” — our nation’s largest and most expansive worship service in a long time, designed to help the country spiritually prepare for its semiquincentennial this July 4.
    The all-day event, which kicks off at 9 a.m. just in front of the U.S. Capitol, will feature representatives from all 50 states praying for America. The special program has been planned and organized around three main themes or “pillars”...

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

Not only are many American businesses deliberately offering job openings to foreign workers, but some companies are actually laying off their American employees in order to hire H-1B visa holders, according to Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.).
    “Programs like H-1B, L-1, F-1, and OPT are displacing U.S. workers, suppressing wages, and hollowing out our middle class. Fraud and abuse are rampant. American workers are losing, so who's winning? Answer: The ‘Visa Cartel’,” Schmitt declared in an X thread on May 13.

'Unprecedented Threat:' Routine Maintenance Found an IED at an Alabama Dam The FBI bomb squad had to detonate the device, in what authorities are calling an "unprecedented threat.

Kash Patel’s FBI Goes After the 764 Monsters Behind the Screens  Rothrock's warning pulls no punches: predators pose as friends, collect personal information, demand explicit images or videos, and use blackmail to force victims into worse acts. Some members livestream abuse, while others threaten swatting, doxxing, public humiliation, or harm to animals.

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

Why did the world look away when Israeli women were raped?  That Hamas terrorists raped and sexually assaulted women and girls in Israel on 7 October 2023 was plain for all to see. On the very day of the pogrom, images beamed around the world – filmed by those carrying out the abuse – showed young women being carted off as hostages, either stripped half-naked or with blood stains on the seat of their trousers. But many chose not to see.

EU Sanctions Israel, Welcomes Taliban If you fight Islamic terrorists, the EU will sanction you, but if you are the terrorists, it will welcome you over for a visit.

New York Following Cuba’s Strategy For Powering The Electrical Grid  If we keep up our current energy policies for long enough, we can also get to the point where our thermal (fossil fuel) power plants are too old to be maintained reliably. And then, if we are lucky, we can hope to achieve the energy utopia that has arrived in Cuba.

'A Slap in the Face:' Guess Where Zohran Mamdani Made Cuts to NYC's Budget Just yesterday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was bragging about closing the city's budget deficit without cutting services. It's a lie, of course. He "closed" the deficit by delaying the city's pension payments and taking a bailout from Albany, which means he did it off the backs of working New Yorkers and not by "taxing the rich."
But it turns out there are some cuts he made, specifically to services for veterans, including events like parades. Veterans are calling it a "slap in the face."

'They never told the public': Biden concealed fact FDA doctors linked child deaths to COVID shots  Details about pediatric fatalities following the government-ordered injections 'suppressed'

All that Leftist indoctrination takes time away from actual teaching, and — coupled with the massive learning loss from COVID-era lockdowns and remote learning — American students have seen a massive decline in their reading scores in the past decade.
