God is our refuge and strength..."Psalm 46"

"Psalm 46" 
The Corner Room 

 God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
Though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains tremble at its swelling.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy habitation of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
He utters his voice, the earth melts.

The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our fortress.

Come, behold the works of the Lord,
How he has brought desolations on the earth.
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
He burns the chariots with fire.

“Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”

The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our fortress.

Humble yourselves, therefore...

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.   -1 Peter 5:6-11

If you think to build a high house of virtues, lay first a deep foundation of humility.  -Augustine

Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven...

Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,
    whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,
    and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away
    through my groaning all day long.
For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;
    my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. 

I acknowledged my sin to you,
    and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
    and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. 
           -Psalm 32:1-5

The grandest fact under heaven is this—that Christ by his precious blood does actually put away sin, and that God, for Christ’s sake, dealing with men on terms of divine mercy, forgives the guilty and justifies them, not according to anything that he sees in them or foresees will be in them, but according to the riches of his mercy which lie in his own heart.  -CH Spurgeon

Nepal-Tibet flood live updates: Rescue efforts resume after being halted over fears of renewed flooding   At least 579 people have been killed and nearly 2,000 are missing, Nepal police said. The State Department says 90 Americans are unaccounted for in Nepal and China.

Even in not very holy societies, religious values can permeate the people. One does not have to be a religiously observant person to know not to steal, not to lie, not to mistreat others. But as we move generation after generation away from religious foundations and into some type of moral relativism, society loses its trust and becomes reactive. Some professors asked college students a while back about morality, and most said that it was each to his own.

A Top FBI Official's Remarks About Running a Secret Government Are Now More Chilling  Piece it all together, and the FBI was turned into a political police force for liberal America. It started in 2015, accelerated during the 2016 election, and progressed like a cancer since then. It shielded the Clinton and Biden families, let Swalwell’s peculiar intersects with Fang Fang slide, and then went all-out to destroy Donald Trump.

FBI Followed Catholic Priests, Continued Richmond Memo Work After Removal Order: DOJ Report Finds   A new Justice Department report reveals that FBI personnel opened investigations into two Catholic priests, conducted surveillance tied to the Richmond Catholic Memo, and continued revising the memo after headquarters ordered it deleted.

 Satanic Planet, a “band” of the co-founder of The Satanic Temple, released Wednesday a “music” video featuring a woman performing a satanic ritual abortion inside a Hobby Lobby bathroom.

Trump Called It: X Uncovers Massive Chinese Bot Farm Targeting U.S. Data Centers  According to X, about 200 accounts within the bot farm network were posting claims that data centers drive up household electricity prices and put excessive strain on the power grid. Some of the accounts, ironically, posted AI-generated cartoons depicting data center operators getting rich while ordinary American citizens were stuck paying the bill.

If Sharia were simply benign religious law, these Sharia courts would be no problem. But to take just one of the many ways in which Sharia and Western law contradict one another, the Qur’an directs men to “beat” women “from whom you fear disobedience.” (4:34)

OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, revealed last month that a rogue bot had broken out of its IT system to gain internet access as it attempted to steal the answers to a test it was asked to complete.

Former inmate says male prisoners are getting ‘bottom surgery’ to stay in women’s prison     As Warmbo explained, once biological male inmates have sex-change surgeries, they’ll likely remain at Shakopee.
   “They’re doing this because they’re afraid that when these new laws go into effect that they’re gonna get sent back to men’s prison. So they’re doing this so that they can guarantee that they can stay in a women’s prison,” Warmbo said, referring to the federal push to protect women’s spaces.

In this you rejoice...

In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. -1 Peter 1:6-7

Faith always means helplessness. In many cases it means: I can do it with a great deal of trouble, but another can do it better. But in most cases it is utter helplessness; another must do it for me. And that is the secret of the spiritual life.  -Andrew Murray Image

President Trump Declares National Emergency to Protect U.S. Power Grid  The Executive Order highlights the risks of foreign interference in critical infrastructure, including sabotage, unauthorized access, and potential catastrophic effects on the U.S. economy and defense systems. It empowers the Secretary of Energy to set conditions for the continued operation of existing equipment and to identify equipment posing national security risks.

The DSA’s Energy Policy Will Annihilate America’s Workers  The DSA’s energy policy can be summarized in three words: Green New Deal (GND).

US Sanctions Foreign Tech Group For Providing Infrastructure For Left-Wing Domestic Terror The A/I Collective website is open about its desire for unrest and the destruction of Western civilization.

Cloward, Piven, And Zinn Told Us They Wanted To Bankrupt America    At some point, the bill comes due. America has third-world levels of debt, and the reality is, it can’t go on forever. This year alone, the federal government will spend in the ballpark of 25% more than it brings in, and it’s been going on like that for almost a decade.
   Make no mistake, communists like Mamdani, AOC, and El-Sayed are simply executing the Cloward, Piven, and Zinn playbook. The mistake they make is that they think it will lead to some “socialist” nirvana. It won’t. It will lead to Armageddon. And the sad part of it is, Cloward, Piven, and Zinn told us what they were doing for decades. We should have listened.

Live updates: Massive flash flood on Nepal-Tibet border leaves nearly 1,000 missing, including U.S. tourists    At least 359 people have been killed and nearly 1,000 more are missing after catastrophic floods swept through towns and valleys along the border between Nepal and China's Tibet region. Officials say the death toll is expected to rise.
    More than 500 foreigners from 32 countries are among those still unaccounted for in the rugged mountainous region, which is popular with pilgrims and trekkers. Screenshot

What Lindsey Clancy’s defenders have revealed about American women Once upon a time, this nation cherished its nuclear families, its teaching of our actual history and its reverence for life and the liberty we took for granted.  No one “took a knee” when the Star Spangled Banner was played. Mobs of juveniles were not raiding small grocery or liquor stores every night in cities like Los Angeles, Chicago or New York City. Innocent citizens were not being murdered on subways.  But with the invasion of 12 million to 20 million migrants from third world failed states our American culture has been polluted, the obvious consequence is the disruption of what was once a relatively ideologically cohesive country.  
   And now we have mothers defending a mother who murdered her own three babies.

‘Feminist’ Palestinian Org on Campuses Fueling Virulent Jew-Hate  The dangerous and harmful propaganda that the Palestinian Feminist Collective and Progressive International promotes fuels the Globalize the Intifada jihadist movement as it aggressively plants, nurtures and advances virulent antisemitism and the hatred of Zionists, and damages American interests under a faux banner of “feminism” and “social justice.”

Over the past five decades, participation in protests and demonstrations advocating policies that destroy America’s culture and society has evolved into a full-time white liberal female occupation. Most of these protestors are 50+-year-old white women augmented by a vast number of vacuous, college-educated white women of all age groups who, together with their race-obsessed, college-educated black female counterparts, are mindlessly and, for many, unknowingly destroying American civilization.

New Study Shows What We've Already Known About Left-Wing Violence and Transgender Ideology “One of our study’s most interesting and perhaps shocking findings was that accepting gender ideology appeared to augment authoritarian attitudes on support for political violence,” Colin Wright, one of the researchers, told The Post.

The transgender movement continues to cause significant harm to many children, but there is now some pushback at the national level   It’s time for those of us who live in the real world to acknowledge the obvious fact that there are natural, physical differences between boys and girls and to demand an end to the chemical alteration of young people. Also, when girls compete in sports, they must compete against other girls. Anyone who says otherwise has a perverse and dangerous agenda that must be exposed, opposed, and quashed.

The New Religion of Anti-Speciesism Values Animals Above Humans  Species egalitarianism assigns the same moral weight to animals’ interests as to those of humans. The implications are that meat eating is morally wrong; saving animals is equal to saving humans; and ecosystems must be protected from human activity.

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

The UK Is Finished: ‘Please do not rape and kill us’   Now the enlightened fools in the UK government are spending taxpayers’ money on printing pamphlets to give to these hordes from the third world, telling them if they don’t mind, maybe they can try to refrain from raping women and sexually assaulting children. Please. Pretty please.

USAID report finds more than 100 UNRWA employees participated in Hamas atrocities on Oct. 7  The agency referred a former United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees school teacher and Hamas operative for debarment for allegedly receiving and holding civilian hostages beginning on October 7, 2023.

As Israel Evicts UNRWA, U.S. Confirms That a Corpse-Dragging October 7 Jihadi Was UNRWA  America has stopped funding UNRWA, but we should stop funding the UN altogether. It is an active sponsor of the most heinous terrorism.

“Rather than narrowly target criminals, [automated license plate readers] collect troves of data on ordinary people’s movements and compile them in a database officers can freely access on demand.

Dolly Parton’s faith was hard to measure. But it was at the heart of her immeasurable legacy  Seeking assurance, Dolly started visiting an abandoned church with broken windows on a hill near her home. Graffiti covered the walls. A damaged piano remained inside. People used it for drinking and other activities that would have scandalized the congregation that once worshiped there. Dolly liked to go there anyway.
   One day she began praying Psalm 23. “The Lord is my shepherd…” She recited the psalm as a prayer, and then something happened that she would remember for the rest of her life. Dolly described sensing God’s presence with a force that finally settled the question for her. Telling the story decades later, she said she’d found God there . . . and she’d also found Dolly Parton.

Barbara Walters did Dolly Parton a big favor that people in the 21st century just don’t understand.

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial...

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. -James 1:12

God never strikes but in love, nor takes away save to give again. I pray Him to comfort you, to preserve your health, and to turn your heart wholly to Himself. Blessed is he who lives in faith, trusts to none save God, and uses this world as though he were already beyond it.    -François Fénelon

A Disturbing New Poll — and Dennis Prager’s Warning for America  "Now, I told you that socialism is responsible for 100 million people being murdered—60 million alone in China. Oh, and by the way, Hasan, who campaigns with Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, Hasan, who is a popular podcaster, says that Mao is one of the greatest figures in human history. I am at a loss for words. The man was a monster. He was a barbaric, torturing tyrant monster who mass-murdered on a level unseen elsewhere."

Invasions, enslavement, and jihad are being rewritten as celebrations of diversity.

James Talarico Says He Hates Christianity. Why Do We Keep Calling Him Christian?   But the aspiring senator, who once called God nonbinary, previously explained in a 2021 podcast that “I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity,” though he also noted that despite his misgivings at times, “I always get drawn back into it.”
   Those remarks were made during an interview with self-described “TransQueer, Latinx” activist theologian Roberto Henderson-Espinoza, whom Talarico described as a model for his faith.

AI can help us in many ways, and used wisely it could bring great benefits. But it cannot kneel. It cannot yearn for God as the deer pants for the water; it cannot repent; it cannot commit; it cannot sacrifice. Those are the prerogatives of creatures who commune, weep, share, and hope. In the gospel, God commits to costly mutuality. By contrast, AI offers costless reciprocity.
   In view of these differences, how should Christians face the uncertain future of AI? With poise, hope, and realism. We seize the moment while imagination is still liquid. We resist the reduction of humanity to productivity. We count the sacrificial cost that makes our daily choices meaningful. And we cherish the mutuality that lies at the heart of our relationships with each other and with our Lord Jesus Christ.

America Goes to Pot: More Americans Smoking Marijuana Than Tobacco   In the survey, 17 percent of Americans said they use marijuana, a record matched from 2023. The number of Americans who said they smoke cigarettes was estimated to be around 11 percent. Other portions of the survey showed that 9 percent of those polled said they vape, and 4 percent use nicotine pouches. The number of people who smoke pot more than doubled from just 7 percent in 2013 to the current 17 percent.

Parton was also an incredible philanthropist, donating millions to various causes, especially in the South. Her Imagination Library put books in the hands of countless kids, and she most recently donated to help Southeasterners recover from hurricanes in 2024. She was such a positive force for simply treating people well that she was a beloved figure on the right and the left.

Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord...

Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.  See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. -Colossians 2:6-10

Let us therefore without ceasing hold fast by our hope and by the earnest of our righteousness, which is Jesus Christ who took up our sins in His own body upon the tree, who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth, but for our sakes He endured all things, that we might live in Him. Let us therefore become imitators of His endurance; and if we should suffer for His name’s sake, let us glorify Him. For He gave this example to us in His own person, and we believed this.   -Polycarp

Trump signed the executive order, called "Ensuring Citizenship Verification And Integrity In Federal Elections," in March 2026. It directs his administration to build lists of eligible voters and orders the U.S. Postal Service to deliver mail ballots only to people on those lists. The Postal Service laid out its implementation plan last week, but the clock is ticking. Some states start sending mail ballots in just a few weeks, leaving the administration little time to get this right before the midterms. More court challenges remain possible.

Let ‘Em All In? If borders don’t matter, why have them?  Every society has limits. Governments exist first to safeguard their citizens' interests while extending immigration opportunities in ways that remain sustainable. A nation unwilling to distinguish between citizens and everyone else ultimately ceases to function as a nation.
   Perhaps that’s why every sovereign nation on Earth — including those most critical of American immigration policy — still maintains its own borders.
   Every country has a front door with a lock and a doorbell. Why not America? Image

Byron Donalds: ‘Rampant Illegal Immigration‘ from Biden Administration to Blame for Measles Outbreak   "So, the key thing is you, number one, you’ve got to control immigration into your country. You can’t have an entire segment of people, more than 10 million, come into your country without that vaccination schedule. That’s how you end up having some of these outbreaks."

American Hamas...The sadistic Left will kill you - and laugh about it   Today’s Left is the American Hamas. It is the Chinese Red Guard. It is the mob of the French Revolution. Consumed by revolutionary zeal and ideological bloodlust, they hate everyone who stands in the way of their vision of an equitable, totalitarian utopia, and would giddily kill conservatives like you and me to achieve it. As journalist Laura Loomer put it, the Democrats are the party of “assassination culture.” They are the party that roared in frustration when Donald Trump shooter Thomas Crooks only nicked his target, the President, at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally in 2024.
   In the two years since, they have only redoubled their longing to see Trump not simply voted out of office – which is how sane people express their political dissatisfaction in a representative democracy – but brutally murdered.

We don’t know the exact pathway that they followed, but both women seemed to spend significant amounts of time on social media, both began communicating with Islamic terrorists over social media and both eventually agreed to be involved in advancing Islamic terrorism.
   And both women appeared to have been recruited in the aftermath of the social media wave of activism in support of Islamic terrorism after the Oct 7 attacks. Jessica described going ‘from a little girl waving an American flag after 9/11 to now having stickers of the falling towers’ while Catherine assured her terrorist friend, “I hate the Jews very much.”

Last year, FDA and federal cybersecurity officials issued a warning about a patient monitor called the Contec CMS8000, a medical device used routinely in American hospitals to track heart rate, blood pressure, and electrocardiograms. Investigators found a back door built into the software. Not a simple glitch, but a highly technological avenue to siphon patient data out of our health care facilities and into outside remote servers. The company that manufactures the Contec monitor is based in China. 
   A machine designed to help doctors and hospitals make life or death decisions conveniently was capable of sending sensitive patient data straight home to Beijing.

Florida Overhauls Welfare Program to Ban ‘Inappropriate, Luxury’ Purchases  The governor added that he has directed the Florida Department of Children and Families “to amend Florida’s TANF State Plan so that these benefits cannot also be used for tobacco, vaping products, adult content, video games, theme park tickets, tattoos, spa services, tanning, or psychic readings. Taxpayer-funded assistance should help families put food on the table, keep the lights on, purchase clothing, provide for their children and overcome barriers on the path toward independence.”

Antifa Mob Storms Church, Attacks Conservative Activist During Anti-Islam Rally, Chasing Him into Starbucks and Dousing Him with Blue Paint While Screaming ‘Nazi!’  So, Christians and those against Islam wound up being attacked while Muslims played the victims again.

Right now, Lindsay Clancy is on trial for murdering her three little children. She and her creepy coterie of pink-clad supporters — almost all salty-looking white women with a smattering of hen-pecked femboy allies — blame postpartum depression, her husband, and the patriarchy. The rest of us — almost all men and many morally literate women — blame the woman who strangled her little children to death after plotting to send her husband away so he wouldn’t be there to stop her.

Pharmacists sound alarm over popular drugs used for weight loss: Users ‘look like chemo patients’  Another, more serious potential side effect of taking such drugs, beyond muscle loss, is atrophy, or “muscle wasting.” Individuals taking GLP-1s typically lose 15 to 20 percent of their body weight – 25-to-40% of which includes lean mass.

“O Lord, Thou knowest.”

But, as it is written,
 “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
     nor the heart of man imagined,
 what God has prepared for those who love him”—
   these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.  -1 Corinthians 2:9-11

God will not hold us responsible to understand the mysteries of election, predestination, and the divine sovereignty. The best and safest way to deal with these truths is to raise our eyes to God and in deepest reverence say, “O Lord, Thou knowest.” Those things belong to the deep and mysterious Profound of God’s omniscience. Prying into them may make theologians, but it will never make saints.  -A.W. Tozer

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

The Mohammunist Manifesto—Control of Education and Formation of the Young  Islamic political systems and Marxist-Leninist communism both treat the education and formation of the young as a central political instrument, not a neutral transmission of skills. Both claim the authority, and the practical necessity, to shape the beliefs, loyalties, and habits of the next generation according to the doctrine, and both built dedicated institutions to guarantee it—the Bolsheviks from the founding moment of their state, and Islamic rulers the moment a doctrinal threat demanded it.


It’s an odd thing. My latest book, The Tragedy of Islam: it has an Amazon page, and that page seems to be in full working order. You can find it here.
   If, however, you didn't click on that link I just provided, but instead went to Amazon and tried to find the book yourself, if your experience is anything like mine just now, you will see that the book is impossible to find. Search for it every which way, and it does not come up. Is Amazon trying to suppress access to this book? It sure looks as if it is.

Hiding Much? Newsom Signs 'Stop Nick Shirley Act.'   Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) reportedly just signed legislation into law that critics say would criminalize certain forms of investigative journalism. In which case, I think we can safely say he definitely has a hell of a lot to hide.
   Presumably, the Stop Nick Shirley Act will face legal challenges, given that it could raise serious First Amendment concerns, but it is not clear how long it might take to resolve those challenges. The case might go all the way to the Supreme Court, and meanwhile, will Commifornia’s Dems be arresting reporters? Image

How the Transgender Movement Lost the Power to End Debate A decade ago, transgender activists sought to expand legal recognition into new areas of American life, from schools to workplaces, from sports to health care. It achieved this progress by dominating the heights of American culture and attempting to dictate what shall be orthodox for the rest of us.
   Today, however, disagreement with transgender ideology is no longer considered beyond the pale, and the court arguments prove it.

Did Canada Just Sign Its Own Economic Death Warrant?   In other words, Carney claims to be saving Canada from being dominated by the US, but he will end up selling his nation's sovereignty to China or the EU just to spite the Trump Administration.
   Carney's behavior in light of these negotiations might seem bizarre, but it makes perfect sense if we consider the possibility that his goal is to cripple the Canadian economy deliberately and make it a pawn in a greater war waged by the Davos elite to isolate conservative movements in the US.  The majority of anti-globalist and anti-multicultural movements around the world rely on American efforts to defeat the progressive agenda.

WHO Says Pandemic Determinations Can Be Made Without 'Evidence Of Illness'    The world saw what can follow a pandemic determination during COVID-19: lockdowns, business and school closures, masking and distancing mandates, travel restrictions, and vaccination requirements.
   WHO now says "Evidence of illness is not required" for certain "laboratory-confirmed" infections with pandemic potential to trigger international reporting.
   If nobody has to be sick, and "laboratory confirmation" can ultimately rest on a fluorescence reading, what evidence of actual disease must exist before governments begin exercising pandemic powers?

The condition, which can cause excessive vomiting with recurring bouts of severe stomach pain and nausea, was first detected in Australia two decades ago. Some have referred to a combination of CHS symptoms – screaming, due to the intense pain, and vomiting – as “scromiting.”

Jesus, keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain

Chorus
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river

Near the cross my trembling soul
Heard the Savior calling
There He died that I may know
Grace and peace abounding

Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow o’er me

Vs 4
Near the cross! My heart will stay
Hoping, trusting ever
Till my eyes shall see the face
Of my blessed Savior
