I wait for the Lord, my soul waits...

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
    and in his word I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord
    more than watchmen for the morning,
    more than watchmen for the morning.
-Psalm 130:5-6 Image

The Bible, Science, and Other Sources of Uncomfortable Truth Are Now Crimes in Canada and the UK   Canada’s new bill to restrict hate speech would remove protections for the Bible, meaning that posting or carrying a placard quoting Leviticus or other scriptures condemning LGBTQ behavior, or possibly even claiming there are only two genders, could be considered hate speech, a jailable offense. Since the existence of only two genders and the fact that a baby is a living, breathing human life inside its mother’s womb are scientific facts, ostensibly citing scientific textbooks could also be jailable if those facts hurt someone’s feelings.
   Over the past decade, the UK and Canada, previously two of the freest countries on earth, have shifted so far left that they have become some of the most restrictive in terms of freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

Socialist ‘Red Rabbits’ are training for national uprising against cops  As its national influence has risen, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has simultaneously grown more extreme. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the group’s “Red Rabbits” initiative.
   The Red Rabbits Security Commission, a subgroup within the DSA focused on “community defense” efforts, is, according to its authorizing resolution, preparing for a “national uprising against federal agents and police brutality.”
   In practice, that means training cadres in tactics like armed and unarmed self-defense, blocking intersections, and fighting “fascists” with umbrellas. Image

The Left’s favorite moral crusades always end the same way: manufactured hysteria, institutional damage, and a quiet retreat from the wreckage.

The Same Bad Data Feeds the Climate Cult and the Prophecy Hucksters  Bible prophecy is real. Science is real. Both can be telling of the world around us. Both can also be used to mislead the masses.

Even ‘Trust the Election’ Pundits Are Suspicious   In many Democrat-controlled jurisdictions, multiple ballots arrive at every home, apartment, post office box, chicken coop, doghouse, street corner, vacant field, Walmart, convenience store, parking lot, and homeless encampment.  American citizens don’t control election outcomes through their votes.  Campaign operatives control election outcomes through ballot “harvesting” — whereby blank ballots are mailed out, filled out, and collected without ever involving the “voters” whose “votes” are cast in their names.
   Once the vote counts are officially posted, most jurisdictions are incapable of verifying the legality of each vote cast or replicating the results with matched ballots and voter records.  The local and state election commissions instead defer to the “Trust us, bro” standard of government accountability.

Skid Row Vagrants Reveal How They Were Paid for Their Votes by LA Democrats   In the shadows of downtown Los Angeles, where human suffering piles up in tents and despair, a disturbing pattern has emerged. Homeless residents on Skid Row are coming forward with claims that they were paid small sums of cash to cast ballots for Mayor Karen Bass and Councilwoman Nithya Raman. These allegations, captured in videos and shared with federal authorities, strike at the heart of election integrity in a city already reeling from policy failures that have turned streets into open-air encampments.

Witnesses Horrified as Sudanese Migrant Allegedly Attempts Beheading on Belfast Street  A Sudanese migrant was arrested in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Monday night after allegedly attempting to behead a local man during a brutal knife attack. Disturbing video footage circulating online appears to show the suspect pinning the victim to the ground and repeatedly stabbing him in the head and neck as horrified bystanders pleaded for him to stop.

City Erupts After Migrant Charged With Attempted Beheading  Protests in Belfast, Northern Ireland, escalated into violence on Tuesday as demonstrators set a bus on fire and blocked roads following an attempted beheading. The unrest was part of an anti-immigration demonstration sparked by the attack, which involved a Sudanese refugee who has now been charged with attempted murder.

There lurks in the background of this abomination a whole regime of complicity. The wilfully oblivious technocrats who have overseen the withering of our borders. The spineless legal system that refuses to remove people who should not be here. The virtue-hoarding activist class that agitates for the right of every ‘asylum seeker’ to stay, because they cherish the spotlight of self-righteousness far more than they do the safety of working-class men and women. None of them wielded the knife, no; but all helped to pave the way for that reprobate’s presence in Belfast.
   Isn’t there now a case against officialdom of reckless endangerment?

Unfortunately, the monstrosity that is the Obama Presidential Library is akin to an alien concrete cyborg spaceship that has crash landed into Jackson Park on the South Side of Chicago. An eyesore that speaks volumes about America’s rejection of beauty and of our great cultural past. For a former President to approve such a brutalist style of “art” is a national embarrassment. But that isn’t the worst outcome of this ugly disaster. Image

Ron Johnson’s COVID Report Reopens the Question They Buried: Healthy Athletes Dying on the Field  The people who asked hard questions about COVID vaccine safety were mocked, censored, and treated like cranks. Now Sen. Ron Johnson’s interim report says federal officials knew safety signals were being missed while the public was told to stop asking.

How precious is your steadfast love, O God!

How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
    The children of mankind take refuge 
in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house,
    and you give them drink
 from the river of your delights.
For with you is the fountain of life;
    in your light do we see light.
   -Psalm 36:7-9

The Last Straw: They’re Stealing Elections in Real Time and Pretending It’s Normal  It’s become clear that California voting is designed to give Democrats the ability to cheat.  Aside from Ranked Choice Voting scam and a universal mail-out of ballots, the state allows 30 days for votes to be counted, a fraud facilitator if ever there was one.


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

New Jersey church under Cardinal Tobin celebrates ‘Pride Mass’ for eighth straight year  This is the eighth year that the parish, under the jurisdiction of Cardinal Joseph Tobin, has hosted the blasphemous event. In other years, the “Pride Mass” included rainbow flags hung in the church, women sitting in the sanctuary wearing pro-LGBT “love is love” shirts, and a gender-confused woman sharing her reflections from the pulpit. Image

Mass migration is making Europe more Islamic, and otherwise secular left-wing parties are encouraging this transformation.
   Does the pope really want to side with atheism and Islam against populism?
   What do conscientious Catholics do when the Holy Father signals they're wrong if they vote for socially conservative parties that also favor reducing immigration?

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

The California Dream Ends in Empty Reservoirs and Homeless Tents  Even as California-based tech companies have reached market capitalization of $1 trillion, its state and local governments have sunk to levels of incompetence associated with underdeveloped countries.
   California today “has the nation’s highest cost-of-living adjusted poverty rate, the highest levels of functioning illiteracy, and the worst housing affordability in the continental US,” writes Joel Kotkin, who has been chronicling California’s highs and lows for more than 40 years. “California increasingly resembles a neo-feudal state, where a handful of large companies drive the economy while the vast majority of workers endure high energy and housing costs, high taxes, and diminishing opportunity.” Image

Low birth rates, chronic absenteeism, parental choice, homeschooling, and microschooling are driving rapid student losses in public schools.

Supreme Court Tosses Biden-Era ‘Energy Efficiency’ Standards For Gas Appliances  The U.S. Supreme Court vacated and remanded a standing lower court ruling Monday regarding energy efficiency regulations on gas furnaces and water heaters from former President Joe Biden’s administration.

The deeper agenda behind Trump’s Reflecting Pool glow-up   And that’s just one part of Trump’s ongoing “Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful” program, which has been methodically cleaning and repairing ornamental fountains throughout DC, some of which had been inoperative for decades.

   The formerly graffiti-covered and trash-filled Columbus Plaza fountain outside Union Station is now gleaming and functioning, as are fountains in Lafayette Park, Meridian Hill Park and more.  

   Well, Trump is a developer, and he likes things pretty — but there’s more to it than that. 
   By beautifying America’s capital city, Trump wants to encourage us to be proud of America itself.

You who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ...

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near.  -Ephesians 2:13-17

As Christians, we must maintain day in and day out that peace is not something to be achieved by our power. Rather peace is a gift of God that comes only by our being a community formed around a crucified savior—a savior who teaches us how to be peaceful in a world in rebellion against its true Lord.  -Stanley Hauerwas

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

alifornia is notoriously slow at counting its ballots. In 2024, it took California until November 8 (three days after Election Day) to get just 70 percent of its ballots counted. Across all 50 states, the average share of the vote counted by that date was more than 95 percent, putting California squarely in last place. Rest assured, The Golden State did eventually hit that 95 percent mark … a full 10 days later. Image

All the craziness in the California election is drawing the attention of the U.S. Department of Justice. Multiple investigations have been launched. Bill Essayli, First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, said: “We will follow the evidence wherever it leads.” He promised to prosecute “any violations of federal election law to the fullest extent.”


How does the third place candidate win the majority of late arriving ballots?

O Brave New World...How Aldous Huxley anticipated Governor Kathy Hochul   A bill passed by the New York House and Senate just made it to the governor’s desk. She has ten days to sign it into law. The bill would require proceedings in state family court, child custody cases, and other domestic concerns scrap the words “mother” with the phrase “gestating parent” and “father” with “non-gestating parent.”
   This little piece of linguistic insanity is a sop to the pathetic coven of woke sexual exotics who place biology high up on their list of impermissible intrusions into their narcissistic claims of unfettered autonomy. The whole machinery of reproduction, with its tiresome “binaries” and static gender roles, is something they regard with a mixture of resentment and horror. Image

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

The Needless Death of Henry Nowak – and Britain’s Shame  Examples of “two-tier policing” have been innumerable in recent years: the mass rape of English children by gangs of Muslim men over a period of decades has been ignored while decent citizens who have dared to discuss those monstrous offenses have been prosecuted for hate crimes; mobs of aggressive Muslims waving seas of Palestinian flags have been left alone by police even as individuals bearing a single Union Jack have been arrested; armies of Muslims have been allowed to block major thoroughfares with prayer rugs – an act of sheer aggression, not faith – while a single woman praying silently near an abortion clinic is taken into custody. And perhaps the most egregious instance of Britain’s two-tier policing has been the endless persecution of Tommy Robinson for daring to expose the long-term failure of authorities to properly deal with the so-called “grooming gangs.”

Nigeria: Christians Are Being Hunted Like Sport   There is nothing covert about what is happening to Christians in Nigeria. The men carrying out these attacks are not hiding their intentions. They are broadcasting them.
   Survivors report that Islamist Fulani militants tell them directly, as they burn their homes and cut down their neighbors: “We will destroy all Christians.”
   That is not the language of a land dispute or a tribal conflict, no matter how many times the Nigerian government has tried to frame it that way. That is a religious extermination campaign, and it is being carried out in the open, with near-total impunity, while most of the Western world looks the other way.

As the Largest Supply of Groundwater in the United States Vanishes, Farmers Are Deeply Concerned About What Is Next   Gigantic underground aquifers are being rapidly depleted all over the world, and once that water is gone it will take a very long time for it to come back. In fact, in some areas of the United States the recharge rate is less than an inch per year. That is a major problem, because more than half of the water that U.S. farmers use for irrigation comes from underground aquifers. What in the world are our farmers going to do once that water is gone?

The Colorado River’s largest reservoirs are heading toward a ‘system crash,’ experts warn The warning comes as seven Western states and the federal government struggle to agree on new rules for managing the shrinking river.

Parents, Not Silicon Valley, Must Control What Enters Our Children’s Phones  Somewhere in America tonight, another parent will stumble upon something disturbing on their child’s smartphone—an unauthorized app, a questionable chat, or content no family would invite into their home. This scene plays out millions of times daily because Big Tech designed it that way: seamless access, endless engagement, and minimal friction for the youngest users.

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

A COVID memoir... Americans are older, wiser, and still very, very angry   I was recently reminiscing about the COVID hoax. Not the virus; that was real. The hysteria surrounding it, which we now know to have been lies, and a power grab. Public health officials like Dr. Anthony Fauci and politicians got to see how many Americans would put up with near-total infringement on their rights, and really, really didn’t want to give up their power. What they eventually discovered was: Americans hate them, won’t ever be fooled like that again, and absolutely distrust public health bureaucrats. They’ve always distrusted government.

If Our God Is for Us

 
If Our God Is for Us 
 Jordan Kauflin and Laura Story

Verse 1
If our God is for us, who can be against us?
His mighty power holds us firm
There is no one like Him, there is none before Him
If we are His, our way is sure

Verse 2
If our God is for us, He will always lead us
To paths of righteousness and hope
If it brings us goodness, He will not withhold it
For from His hand all blessings flow

Chorus
What shall we say, but “Hallelujah!”
For none can take us from His love
He won’t forsake the ones He died to save
Yes, our God is for us

Verse 3
If our God is for us, will He not defend us?
When Satan’s accusations roar
For the blood of Jesus has brought us freedom
He is our confidence alone

Bridge
No tribulation, trial or pain
Persecution, loss or gain
Struggle, battle, lie or shame
Can take us from His love

We know that neither death nor life
Nor angels, rulers, place or time
No pow’r of hell, no depth nor height
Can take us from His love

Henry Nowak’s death is a sign of civilisational collapse   A dying teenager lay on the ground telling officers he had been stabbed and could not breathe. Yet according to the subsequent reports and bodycam footage, police initially treated him not as the victim but as the likely aggressor because his killer alleged that he had uttered a racial slur. The accusation itself appeared sufficient to shape the officers’ assumptions before they had established the most elementary facts of the scene.
   The horror of the case lies not only in the murder but in the sequence of priorities it revealed. In that moment, the possibility of verbal impropriety seemed to carry greater institutional weight than the visible collapse of a human being.

God is love...

So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.   -1 John 4:16-18

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

Talarico has made a name for himself with his brand of progressive Christianity, a belief system that says God is non-binary, that the Bible permits abortion, and that the Ten Commandments are an act of violence, especially when displayed publicly.
   That whole 'Thou shalt not kill' thing must strike a nerve, given how radical Talarico is on abortion — he wants federally funded abortion clinics on public land — and that his church pays to take women out of state to obtain abortions.
   This is also why Talarico has to dehumanize the unborn, comparing them to tapeworms instead of human beings made in the image and likeness of God.


I used to be very careful to differentiate between the corrupt Democrat pols who lied their way into office, and the merely gullible and/or greedy Democrat voters who put them there.
   But in one election cycle, Democrat primary voters have (or likely soon will) choose a Nazi, a heretic, a sex freak, and yet another Islamist, over much more palatable candidates.
   That's on you, Dems — and I don't know who the hell you even are anymore.

Pure, Cold Rage: What Henry Nowak’s Murder Says about the State of Britain in 2026...Britain’s elites built a system obsessed with policing bias; Henry Nowak’s death shows what happens when that obsession eclipses justice   Instead of taking the victim’s anguished cries seriously as he lay bleeding to death—“I’ve been stabbed”: “I don’t think you have, mate” (an actual exchange)—the police dragged him across the ground like a sack of garbage, handcuffed him, and paid more attention to a mark on the killer’s face and a dislodged turban.
   And then it was too late.

When Apostate Pastors Make Disciples: The Dangerous Legacy of Progressives  During a Sunday service at Rigby's church, congregants were asked what came to mind when they heard the name of the Apostle Paul. The responses included "villain," "homophobic," and "he's a jerk."
   Imagine that for a moment.
   The Apostle Paul was not merely an influential Christian thinker. He was chosen by Christ, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and responsible for much of the New Testament. Through his writings, God gave the church foundational doctrines concerning salvation, grace, sanctification, marriage, church leadership, and Christian living.
   Yet in this congregation, one of Christianity's greatest apostles is openly ridiculed. Image

The Media Wants To Know Why Men Are Walking Away From Liberal Society?    The idea of "toxic masculinity" is a woke feminist fallacy; a creation meant to shame men for their natural behaviors, their normal biological roles and the inherent ways they deal with the world.  The important thing to remember is that feminism has not been about equality for decades.  Women have had social equality and legal superiority over men in the west for some time now. 
   Rather, feminism is about keeping men in line and under control to prevent any rebellion against the liberal epoch.  After all, women have no inherent power.  They gain power by convincing men to give their power away through government.  By convincing men to behave in the name of modern civility.

Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes...

Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes;
    and I will keep it to the end.
Give me understanding, that I may keep your law
    and observe it with my whole heart.
Lead me in the path of your commandments,
    for I delight in it.
Incline my heart to your testimonies,
    and not to selfish gain!
   -Psalm 119:33-36

From Grooming to Honor Killing: The Euphemisms Protecting Sharia Violence Against Women  Western authorities and media have perfected many linguistic shields to protect Islam, but two of the favourites are:
-“Grooming” for the systematic rape and trafficking of perhaps hundreds of thousands of British girls by Muslim gangs.
-“Honour killing” for the premeditated murder of wives, daughters, and sisters who violate some component of sharia or Islamic culture.
   Both terms do the same job: they sound vaguely cultural, vaguely tribal, and comfortably pre-Islamic. They deliberately drain the violence of its religious and doctrinal content. They protect the ideology.

Mamdani Goes Full Communist with Plans to Seize Private Property  New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled a housing plan last week that would make Karl Marx blush. Undoubtedly the most outrageous part of the self-avowed socialist’s scheme is a pledge to confiscate private buildings and “transfer ownership” to whomever Mamdani pleases, including “community land trusts, nonprofits, or even the tenants themselves.” It’s communism, plain and simple.


Islamic State Killing Christians Across DR Congo: More Than 1,100 Dead and No End in Sight  While Christians are being slaughtered and kidnapped on a daily basis in Nigeria, Christians are also being massacred in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Like in Nigeria, the perpetrators are not Mennonites. They are Islamic extremists.

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

Henry Nowak’s Murder Is The Logical Conclusion Of Black Lives Matter The circumstances of Nowak’s murder almost defy belief. On their own, they would be enough to send Britain into a spiral of race riots and civil unrest — if Nowak had not been white, and if his killer had not been Indian. As it is, the murder of Henry Nowak will probably not trigger the kind of rioting that George Floyd’s death did in the United States. But it does perfectly illustrate the logic of Black Lives Matter: racial minorities are to be believed and preferred, white people are not — even in cases where whites are the victims of violent crimes. Image

Let us be clear about what this means. A man is facing criminal penalties for saying publicly that ‘God so loved the world’. Not as part of a protest or as a targeted intervention, but as an act of ordinary Christian witness – a common practice in Northern Ireland, which has some of the highest rates of Christian practice in Western Europe. If Randall’s case had been chilling, Johnston’s represents something far more definitive: the formal criminalisation of religious speech. The Bible, in effect, has been found guilty.

Republican Support for Same-Sex Marriage Collapses, Falling Almost 20% since 2022  It’s time to understand, she stressed, “Obergefell actually victimized children.” The moment “we made husbands and wives optional in marriage, mothers and fathers became optional in parenthood law. The problem is that, for children, their mother and father are never optional. It always leaves a lifelong wound. It always destabilizes their existence. It hampers their identity formation. It hinders their development,” she told Perkins recently. “We need to get back to the place where we are elevating and promoting the one family structure where children have their mother and father in the home, and we want to tell the court that they need to make a choice. They can either have gay marriage, or they can protect children’s rights to their mother and father. But they can’t do both.” Image

Dems replace ‘mother’ with ‘gestating parent’ in latest woke rewrite of NY law  “At a time when New Yorkers are being crushed by utility bills, rising costs, and public safety concerns, Albany Democrats have decided one of their final priorities in the last days of session should be replacing mothers and fathers in state law,” said Sen. Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick (R-Nassau). “That is not what families are asking for. I am a mother and proud to be called ‘mother.’

Look carefully then how you walk...

From Delaney Hall to ‘Freedom 250,’ lefty violence is what real insurrection looks like  Ten days and counting of anti-ICE riots outside New Jersey’s Delaney Hall.

New York’s 1.47 Million Voter Roll Fraud Unmasks The ‘Safe Blue State’ Myth A damning discovery of voter registration fraud in New York has flown under the national radar. Andrew Paquette, the research director of the New York Citizens Audit — a non-partisan group of New York citizens who use publicly available voter roll databases obtained directly from state and local boards of elections — discovered 1.47 million voter registrations that currently possess identical signatures. This is an impossibility among legitimate registrations and a clear violation of the law. A number this large is cause for concern no matter the margins of any given election.

Harvard Divinity School Launches Journal Devoted to ‘Queerness,’ ‘Palestinian Liberation’  So even for those of us who think universities should have wide latitude for free expression and not a lot of sacred cows, it’s more than a bit much for the Harvard Divinity School dean’s office—after all that has happened in recent years—to subsidize the production of an openly non-scholarly magazine devoted to redefining Judaism into something that will strike many Americans, justifiably, as a perversion or as insanity. If anti-Israel Harvard students want to produce a queer erotic poetry magazine named after a Canaanite idol, let them do it on their own without the university’s name or financial support. As for the professor who thinks it’s a worthwhile project, he’s subtracting from, rather than adding to, what remains of the university’s reputation.

I Watched an Evangelical College Die From the Inside   Christian higher education was never supposed to be sustained by memories of the good-ol’ days. It exists to form human beings who can live truthfully and faithfully in God’s world as image-bearers called to love their neighbors. They exist to form the Christian mind. That mission does not disappear because the financial model is broken. But it does require institutions to act with the kind of clarity and courage that sentimentality makes impossible.
   The institutions that survive will be the ones that face their actual situation honestly, make decisions that correspond to reality, and remain genuinely committed to the theological mission that is the only real reason for their existence.

Chief exorcist of DC archdiocese says demons disguise themselves as aliens, UFOsmHe has cited 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 as an indication that demons can deceive human beings with “wonders” such as that of apparent UFOs: The lawless one comes “with all power and with pretended signs and wonders … with all wicked deception”; God sends a “strong delusion” so that people “believe what is false.” O’Connor says we may understand this to include a great end-times deception involving aliens and UFOs.
