"For as the heavens are higher than the earth..."

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

For you shall go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and the hills before you
shall break forth into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands."
-Isaiah 55:9-12

The Left’s socialist revolt did not come from nowhere—it was the inevitable offspring of years of Democratic radicalization, now turning against the party that created it. Image

DSA Assault on Prisons Is Rooted in Third World-ist Lust for Barbarism  There is only one coherent explanation for the DSA's anti-cop, anti-prison obsession: naked, raw ideology.
    And there is a name for that ideology: Third World-ism. It's a dystopian zeal for barbarism over civilization. And these days, it's the name of the game for the activist left. We see it everywhere.

They Never Stop Lying:  Democratic Socialists of America-Our Program  At least these people are stupid enough to say these things out loud.

Mamdani Just Handed The Internet Thousands Of Names And Addresses Indeed, Mamdani’s move to doxx some of his wealthiest constituents comes just days after an anti-ICE extremist allegedly firebombed 26 Federal Plaza.

Treasury Sec Lauds Screening to Stop Paying Dead People, but Reagan’s ‘Junkyard Dogs’ Did It First  Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says a new computer matching process being used for the first time ever exposed “more than 4,900 federal payments worth approximately $99 million that were associated with deceased payees” and stopped payment on them.

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

Even the left is now flagging the gross bias at America’s universities  This huge political imbalance in the professoriate affects student learning directly. 
   A recent study by Forest Romm and Kevin Waldman involving confidential interviews with 1,452 students at Northwestern University and the University of Michigan found that a whopping 88% of students said they had pretended to hold more “progressive” views than they really did to get ahead.
   More than 80% said they submitted classwork that misrepresented their views in order to align with those of professors.

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

What started as a Christian work of mercy has morphed into a $31 billion-a-year industry that’s attracting fraudsters and private-equity profit hunters. As legalized assisted suicide gains a foothold in the U.S., some pro-life advocates fear worse problems lie in store.

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

It is ironic that those attempting to destroy this country because of its history of slavery, white supremacy, racism, sexism, and colonization will see it replaced by Islam, which, since its beginning, has forcibly colonized and enslaved large parts of the world.  Islam also murders those with sexual identities it doesn’t like and considers women little more than a sexual apparatus.  And in place of white supremacy or white privilege, there is Muslim supremacy and privilege.

Crazed Jihadist Stabs Pregnant Woman and Two Others in Paris: ‘Allah Commanded Me’  Another jihadist attack in Europe… this time in Paris, France as a Muslim man with two large kitchen knives attacked a pregnant woman and two others in broad daylight before an off-duty cop subdued him. Authorities and the media immediately cried that he’s insane and Islam had nothing to do with it.

Trust in the Lord, and do good...

Trust in the Lord, and do good;
    dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord;
    trust in him, and he will act.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,
    and your justice as the noonday.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
    fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,
    over the man who carries out evil devices!
 -Psalm 37:3-7

CIA Whistleblower Confirms Shadow Government Is Running the Intel Community—and Blocking Trump   The President has presented evidence that is being confirmed by the CIA whistleblower. The shadow government is no longer theoretical—it is documented, admitted, and, if left unchecked, a direct threat to the idea that the American people, not the bureaucracy, decide who leads the country.

When the enemy is seen as the wealthy and the middle class, there can be some solution short of genocide, but when the enemy is ‘white people’, Jews, Asians, a clan or religion, and it is depicted as the epitome of oppression and evil, and academics teach that no social progress, no peace or justice are possible until it is ‘decolonized’ or ceases to exist, genocide follows.

Minnesota to put transgender dolls with swappable genitals in schools for kids as young as 4  An actual thing that is happening in Tampon Tim Walz's Minnesota.
   MyGenderDolls, the "first-of-their-kind" therapeutic paper dolls complete with removable internal and external genitalia, and over 100 interchangeable outfits, hairstyles, and accessories.

Newly Released Fauci Diary Exposes a Major Deception … and a Striking Obsession  Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul’s relentless campaign to prove that former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci misled the public throughout the COVID pandemic made him Fauci’s greatest nemesis.
   Although more than six years have passed since the deadly virus reached U.S. shores, most Americans still remember Fauci’s daily briefings and seemingly nonstop appearances on cable news. He quickly emerged as the “face” of the pandemic.

Miranda Devine: Anthony Fauci was the ‘big head’ of COVID response   As the global death toll mounted, Fauci’s diary shows he was increasingly preoccupied with his rising media profile and reveling in the admiration, especially the praise from celebrities, all of which he meticulously ­recorded.

People were regularly encouraged by Jewish leaders to “never forget” the Holocaust, a plea that’s becoming a faint echo nowadays. In similar fashion, we should resist the desire to forget the price paid for Dr. Fauci’s dream of creating novel vaccines for yet-to-appear superviruses -- a toll that includes not only millions of deaths but also the enduring aftereffects of the fear he stoked and the tyrannical lockdowns he promoted.

Lead Us To Repentance

You know every heart, You’ve seen the depths of who we are 
But when our shame says “run,” Your mercy calls us home

Even when we fall, You are never far    
Draw us with your kindness, with You there’s forgiveness
Condemnation’s gone, all the work is done,

There’s no greater love, our Savior bled and died for us  
Guilty ones are dressed in Jesus’ perfect righteousness 
So when we go astray, Lord, give us grace to pray

“Seek the Lord while he may be found..."

“Seek the Lord while he may be found;
    call upon him while he is near;
 let the wicked forsake his way,
    and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, 
that he may have compassion on him,
    and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
 For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.

 “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
    and do not return there but water the earth,
  making it bring forth and sprout,
    giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
    it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
    and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
     -Isaiah 55:6-11

Gross: Mamdani Mocks New Yorkers With Post About Dropping New Tax on Them “If you have a second home in New York City worth more than $5M, check your mailbox when you’re back in the five boroughs — because you've got mail.
   Today, we sent notification letters to property owners, letting them know that our new pied-a-terre tax is coming soon. 
   The best city in the world deserves the best parks, libraries, and schools in the world. That's only possible when we all pay our fair share.”
So not only is he dropping more taxes on people, but he's mocking the people in the process. Image

With Mayor Mamdani leading the demagogue parade, the promise not to repeat the Holocaust is being swept away in a rising tide of antisemitism.

Receive therefore every day as a resurrection from death...

O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
    to still the enemy and the avenger.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
    the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
    and the son of man that you care for him?

Yet you have made him a little lower 
than the heavenly beings
    and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him dominion 
over the works of your hands;
    you have put all things under his feet,
all sheep and oxen,
    and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
    whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!
-Psalm 8 Image

Receive therefore every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life; meet every rising sun with such sentiments of God’s goodness, as if you had seen it, and all things, new-created upon your account: and under the sense of so great a blessing, let your joyful heart praise and magnify so good and glorious a Creator.   -William Law

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

The Democratic Socialists of America vs. the United States of America  Today, the mainstream media and institutions like academia lack the moral clarity to simply state that the political rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is an existential threat to the United States of America.
   I’ll go one step further. A few weeks after the United States celebrated its monumental 250th anniversary, there is a strong effort to whitewash the DSA, mischaracterize their aims, and obscure their odious policy agenda. Image

Democrats who don't want to see their party in ruins had best step up and vocally, without hesitation or qualification, disavow the platform and dissociate themselves from the rabid America-haters. Accepting them as Democrats is not about a "big tent." It's a funeral bier for Democrats.


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

Peter Schweizer: Homeland Security Found 278,000 Noncitizens on the Voter Rolls  Election security has unfortunately become embroiled in partisan politics, Schweizer says, but Democrats who are opposing efforts to harden America’s election security, as the SAVE America Act purports to do, must explain their hesitation.
   “So, if the Chinese are gathering this data, and they’re hacking into our election systems, and you’ve got people that are illegally registered to vote, we should get rid of those vulnerabilities,” Schweizer says. “My point to the Democrats would be — why not do this? Either they are opposing it because some of them [Democrats] want those people voting, and they want the fraud because it helps them win,” he says.


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

The Mullahs Have Dropped the Mask—The Gulf Must Unite to End Tehran’s Reign of Terror  For more than four decades, Iran's ruling theocracy has perfected the art of plausible deniability. Murder, sabotage, hostage-taking, and terrorism have been carried out through a web of proxies stretching from Lebanon to Yemen, from Iraq to Gaza. Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and an array of Shi’ite militias served as expendable instruments, allowing Tehran's clerical rulers to wage war while pretending innocence. That pretense has finally collapsed. Image

Trump: Iran Will Pay for Ship Damage With Its Own Frozen Funds  The comment follows after the U.S. has pounded Iran for about 12 days straight. Iran and the U.S. tore up a memorandum of understanding that sought peace after Iran repeatedly fired upon ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

When Islamic supremacists openly celebrate 9/11 while enjoying all the benefits of living inside the United States, Americans know the enemy walks among them.  When British authorities cover up the atrocities of Muslim rape gangs, Brits know Whitehall can’t be trusted.  The cost of government betrayal is high and will only continue to rise.


Historic Buffalo Church TORCHED TWICE In Four Days Following Sale To ISLAMIC Group  A 140-year-old Catholic church in Buffalo has been deliberately set on fire for the second time in four days, the third blaze to hit the site this year. Investigators confirmed arson.
   The property was sold years earlier by the Diocese of Buffalo to a company affiliated with the Downtown Islamic Center, which planned to turn the historic complex into a mosque.
   Christian heritage keeps vanishing while officials scramble over “securing” the site they already allowed to fall into the wrong hands.

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

So here is the unfashionable thought. The question is not whether the Crusades were good. Serious history doesn't grade in gold stars. The question is whether we are still allowed to understand what they were for, and whether a civilization that has criminalized its own memory of self-defense can mount any defense at all.


The people who know nothing know everything...At an insufferable anti-Israel dinner party, a masterclass in dealing with pro-Palestinian idiocyI have no doubt that this is the finest post-October 7th piece published on Substack (originally on Moral Clarity). The substantive arguments speak for themselves, but what is so special about the piece is how it is written. Far more than a mere polemic or an academic thesis, it is a bona fide work of literature that gets to the beating absurdity of Andy Burnham thought. It speaks of argument in a world of slogans. It promotes truth in a world of ignorance. It elevates fact in a world of fiction. And it does so with a humour, humanity and exasperation that AI would never be capable of. It is Nachum Kaplan’s authentic voice, and the voice of all those that despair along with him.
   Put simply, it’s a masterpiece deserving of a prize that the luvvies will never give him —-and it’s a powerful testament to the continuing force of the writer to preserve our humanity. (Don't miss this!)

Massachusetts House Passes Bill That Would Allow Late-Term Abortions  “It’s a very sad day in the commonwealth of Massachusetts. The precedent that we’re setting is that a mother can get an abortion up until the moment of birth for a healthy, viable baby,” state Rep. Alyson Sullivan-Almeida said. 
   “This is a significant change to the law to expand what is already an extremely progressive abortion policy in Massachusetts,” state Rep. Joseph McKenna added.

Washington should keep pressure on the southern border while expanding northern intelligence, cargo screening, anti-corruption work, and joint investigations.

The wonder of the life of Jesus is this...

The wonder of the life of Jesus is this—and you will find it so and you have found it so if you have ever taken your New Testament and tried to make it the rule of your daily life—that there is not a single action that you are called upon to do of which you need be, of which you will be, in any serious doubt for ten minutes as to what Jesus Christ, if He were here, Jesus Christ being here, would have you do under those circumstances and with the materials upon which you are called to act.  
-Phillips Brooks

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

At least since New York passed its Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) back in 2019, it has been clear that trouble has been coming for New York’s electrical grid.  The CLCPA effectively prohibits construction of new fossil fuel power plants, even natural gas plants; and the old ones are aging and are forbidden to be replaced or upgraded.  Supposedly, lots of wind and solar generators were going to be added to the system.  But those have been slow to come and, more importantly, can’t be counted on to generate anything when you need them.

Massive disconnect of power roils largest US electric grid  The epicenter of the event was in northern Virginia, home to the largest collection of data centers in the world. When an area transmission line went out of service Wednesday morning, the data centers' own control systems unplugged from the electric grid and transferred to backup power, Dominion Energy, the electric utility for the region, said in a statement.
   "Within minutes of the incident occurring, our system operations team was able to stabilize the situation and return to normal operating conditions," Dominion said.
   The Virginia event underscores why federal and state regulators are studying measures to better manage sudden drops in demand from data centers and crypto miners that can destabilize grids.

Zero Sympathy for the Democrats’ Political Death March  After years of empowering the fringe, Democrat insiders are discovering that the monsters they cultivated are now consuming them.

JONATHAN TURLEY: Democratic Socialists want to remake America in their image. That’s terrifying   "Imagine the end of capitalism." Those words in the Democratic Socialists of America manifesto offer Americans a world without landlords, debt, mandatory work hours, and "food, education, energy, medicine, and transportation... are common goods and utilities."
   The left often refers to radical changes as "reimagining" everything from police to the Supreme Court to prisons to borders. However, the rise of socialists in the Democratic Party has moved such claims from the merely rhetorical to the outright revolutionary.

Democrats have a poison called DSA—Democrat Socialists of America—a communist organization that made Mamdani mayor of New York, New York. If communism can make it there, it will make it anywhere, right?
   But Democrat officials know voters are rejecting it—for now.


Far-left, extremist ideology prevents an honest interpretation of crime and incarceration data.

DOJ: UCSD med school favored black, Hispanic applicants over more qualified white, Asian ones  The University of California San Diego School of Medicine illegally used race in its admissions process to favor black and Hispanic applicants over more qualified white and Asian candidates, the Justice Department announced Monday.
   The med school continued affirmative action in violation of civil rights laws and even after the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2023 decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, which banned race discrimination in higher education.

Elite universities face federal cash squeeze over millions tied to China-linked entities Donors include firms tied to the Chinese military and a Beijing research institute appearing on two government watchlists...

Miranda Devine: The Smithsonian reeks of communist ideologies that our Founding Fathers would be ashamed of The Smithsonian teaches that “politeness,” “punctuality,” “objectivity” and “hard work” is white supremacy, and that Mickey Mouse is a form of blackface, while devoting not one major exhibit to ­George Washington or any of the Founding Fathers.

However, Spalding said, there is a way to teach accurate American history without teaching self-loathing. The ideologically motivated “history” pushed by the Smithsonian is not history at all, Spalding told The Federalist. “History has been driven out by a postmodern idea about systemic oppression, and as a result, they’ve kind of dropped the whole story.”

Watch: Brandon Gill's Razor-Sharp Questioning Leaves the ABA President Flailing  The Smithsonian's "MASS Action Toolkit" said that politeness is a "defining aspect of white supremacy culture."
   I asked the Director of the National Museum of American History if that means she's a white supremacist.

   He claims that National Health Service (NHS) protocols in the UK allow and encourage the removal of organs from patients who are still showing biological signs of life, including movement, heartbeat, and reflex response.

Because you have kept my word about patient endurance...

Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
