“My grace is sufficient for you..."

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  -2 Corinthians 12:9

Workers, here is your first lesson: learn to be nothing, learn to be helpless. The man who has got something is not absolutely dependent; but the man who has got nothing is absolutely dependent. Absolute dependence upon God is the secret of all power in work. The branch has nothing but what it gets from the vine, and you and I can have nothing but what we get from Jesus.  -Andrew Murray

Canada Mass Shooter's Uncle Confirms He Was Trans According to Report - 10 Dead, at Least 25 Others Injured   If the report is accurate, Strang would be the third prominent transgender-identifying school shooter in North America in only three years.

"Everybody knows that the United States is the easiest game in town," says McClenahan.
   Some stolen funds go to alleged terrorists.
"We literally rang the dinner bell for the whole world, and they answered," he says.

Taxpayers have forked over hundreds of billions in federal and state tax dollars in subsidies that were designed to “kick start” the EV car market. They paid thousands toward the cost of each EV sold. They paid companies to build battery factories. They paid for charging stations.
   Fuel economy standards imposed another hidden subsidy for EVs. The only way automakers could meet increasingly stringent federal fuel economy standards, commonly known as CAFE standards, was to sell more EVs. For each EV sold, they’d get an oversized credit toward the miles-per-gallon average of all cars sold in any given year.

US Seizes 134 Acres in Texas Used by Mexican Cartel: ‘They Thought They Were Untouchable’  The Gulf Cartel is a drug trafficking organization from Mexico that moves arms and migrants into the United States, and has engaged in the kidnapping and murder of American citizens. Drug cartels have been known to use U.S. lands to grow marijuana, with such activities exploiting sanctuary state policies and the sovereignty of native tribal lands.
   In a message to the cartels, CBP said, “You think this is just about arrests? It’s not. We are dismantling your operations from the ground up. We’re cutting out your safe houses, your staging areas, your corridors. This is your warning.”

 What if the easiest way for AI to conquer the world isn’t through violence, but with cuteness, or sexiness, or simply friendliness?...
...All it takes to fool people is an ability to take advantage of basic characteristics of human personality and cognition — which machines of only moderate intelligence are well equipped to do.
Not brute-force brilliance, but merely superlative sneakiness.
Seduction, not raw domination. Conquest through cuteness.
We humans are suckers for cuteness and social connection, even the simulated kind. Image

If we are going to be used by God...

For thus says the One who is high and lifted up,
    who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
“I dwell in the high and holy place,
    and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly,
    and to revive the heart of the contrite.
               -Isaiah 57:15

A great many think because they have been filled once, they are going to be full for all time after; but O, my friends, we are leaky vessels, and have to be kept right under the fountain all the time in order to keep full. If we are going to be used by God we have to be very humble. A man that lives close to God will be the humblest of men. I heard a man say that God always chooses the vessel that is close at hand. Let us keep near Him.   -Dwight Lyman Moody

Why Minnesota Keeps Erupting in Anti-Government Chaos  It is especially noteworthy that the anti-government protests are well-organized and funded, which suggests the involvement of groups with substantial networks.

Mamdani Hires Slew of Anti-Israel Activists, Including Brooklyn Borough Director Who Praised 'Heroes' Ripping Down Israeli Hostage Posters and Adviser Who Led College Divestment Movement   The list also includes a policy analyst who accused Israel of terrorism and a 'Community Engagement Training Specialist' who said the Jewish state amounts to 'modern-day Nazi Germany.

New York Becomes 13th State to Legalize Assisted Suicide   The law expanding the state’s culture of death will go into effect in six months to allow the Department of Health to put regulations into place, making New York the 13th state, plus Washington, D.C. to legalize physician-assisted suicide. Hochul released a statement equating assisted suicide with “freedoms” and a “right to bodily autonomy” — a similar argument used by pro-abortion and pro-transgender activists who promote mutilation and the killing of unborn babies.

Drug traffickers are increasingly adding medetomidine, a powerful animal tranquilizer, to illicit fentanyl supplies in the United States, according to public health officials and law enforcement agencies. The drug, which is approved only for veterinary use, has been detected in seized samples in cities including New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago, raising new concerns about the growing unpredictability of the illicit opioid market.

Washington Post Mocked for Calling Bad Bunny‘s Vulgar Halftime Show ‘Wholesome‘  Perhaps explaining why the Washington Post is failing so badly, the paper has declared that Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show was “wholesome” entertainment with “family values” despite that the rapper’s songs were filled with drug references, and had explicit sexual content including both gay and straight sex.

Tucker Carlson’s and Candace Owens’s Terrifying Descent Into Madness Careers that began as critiques of establishment politics have devolved into outlandish conspiracy theories that blend New Age spirituality, esoteric metaphysics, and elaborate claims about the hidden masters of reality and society.

Zuckerberg Follows Billionaire Exodus To Florida As California Pushes New Wealth Tax Chamath Palihapitiya wrote on X: "With Zuck’s move to Florida, California’s total taxable wealth from billionaires has plummeted to well under $1T from over $2T just a few weeks ago. The loss of this tax revenue was totally avoidable but is now forever. All because Gavin Newsom stood motionless as this stupidly written bill, from a fringe union and a handful of socialist academics with an axe to grind, meandered its way into the public conversation without any action from him and freaked everyone out."

High School Wrestler Says She Was Sexually Assaulted By Trans-Identifying Male Opponent   A high school wrestler in Washington says she was sexually violated during a match by a trans-identifying male athlete. Even more disturbingly, school officials failed to report the alleged assault to law enforcement for nearly two months after she came forward.

Cast your burden on the Lord...

Cast your burden on the Lord,
    and he will sustain you;
He will never permit
    the righteous to be moved.
-Psalm 55:22

Give me a stout heart to bear my own burdens. Give me a willing heart to bear the burdens of others. Give me a believing heart to cast all burdens upon Thee, O Lord. -John Baillie

Wait, That's Why Dems Are Scared About ICE Agents Wearing Body Cams First it was, “We want body cameras.” Then it became, “We want them with restrictions.” Which turned into, “We want them with restrictions because insane white liberals say so.” And now we’re at, “These body cameras are mass surveillance.” Image

Inside ‘Shangri-La’ homeless scam as taxpayer millions bankroll jets, mansions and luxury excess — and Newsom won’t cut ties “The state has facilitated the spending of billions of dollars to combat homelessness, with little to show for it and almost no oversight.”
   “Thankfully, the federal government has begun auditing California’s spending and today’s is just one example of how fraudsters have swindled millions of dollars from taxpayers,” he added. “This money should have gone to those in need, instead it lines the pockets of individuals subsidizing their lavish lifestyle.”

------------------Change-----------------

The fact is that men and women are different, something there’s been a concerted effort to not merely ignore but to overthrow by informal social coercion and the force of law. Oddly, it’s the feminine side that propels this campaign. If you track back the roots of the worst cultural trends of the last century, they all originate in a perversion of the feminine. For example, the greatest advocates of bizarre transsexual deviance are not men, though a significant number of men go along either passively or actively – they probably think they’re going to score if they show their tolerance bona fides. It’s women who are driving this big rig, the only kind of big rig women drive as a rule. It’s the women who decide that young Billy is really Susie and schlep over to the local butcher in her minivan. The invertebrate dad just sort of nods along. It’s the women pushing for men in women’s locker rooms, ironically. Imagine it getting traction if men had been at the forefront of the “Let us leer at you in the shower” movement. It would have never started, and if women right now said, “No,” this would end overnight. But for some reason that real men can’t fathom – maybe it’s the Chardonnay, maybe it’s the SSRIs, maybe it’s the dissatisfaction that comes with having leftist partners who can’t satisfy them –women as a whole refuse to reject this nonsense. And so it persists.

As I steeped myself in this type of feminism: the type that emanates from online Tumblr echo chambers and the ideological enclaves of Women’s studies departments, it taught me a number of ideas and values I was eager to apply to my own life.
   For example, feminist ideology taught me that any opinions that were conservative, or just didn’t align with the party line were violence. It also taught me that the best way to fight opposition is to try to silence it.

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

Modern Irish history is a cautionary tale for Western nations that take the incessant attack on faith and freedoms lightly.   Last week, the Irish government released a St. Brigid’s Day video that mocks the Catholic saint while celebrating abortion and gay marriage. The video shows a cloaked figure—a pagan witch—carrying fire from one feminist milestone to the next, boasting images from when Ireland redefined marriage and created a constitutional right to abortion. The Irish government elite confused (or conflated) the Catholic saint with an old Gaelic goddess of the same name. This was not merely a mistake. It is the latest example of the elite’s contempt for Ireland’s Catholic heritage.

God Leads Us Along...

 
God Leads Us Along

Verse 1 
In shady, green pastures, 
so rich and so sweet,
  God leads His dear children along;
  where the water’s cool flow 
bathes the weary one’s feet,
  God leads His dear children along.

Refrain:
Some through the waters, 
Some through the flood,
Some through the fire, 
but all through the blood;
Some through great sorrow, 
but God gives a song,
in the night season 
and all the day long.

Verse 2 
Sometimes on the mount 
where the sun shines so bright,
  God leads His dear children along;
  sometimes in the valley, 
in darkest of night,
  God leads His dear children along.

Verse 3 
Though sorrows befall us
 and evils oppose,
  God leads His dear children along;
  through grace we can conquer, 
defeat all our foes,
  God leads His dear children along.

"That they may all be one..."

“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me."  -John 17:20-23

This Awful Thing That the Super Bowl Has Become Belongs on the Hallmark Channel  In the 1980s, the Super Bowl went from being the most important football game of the year to being the most important television event of the year. There was a decided shift in focus, with the party taking precedence over the Super Bowl itself. The beginning of the end, in other words...
...Real sports fans loathe commercials. In fact, if there were an Olympic event that involved racing to grab a remote and mute an ad while we're watching a game, we would all be contending for gold medals. Heaven help the person who gets between me and the remote as a football broadcast goes to a commercial about medication for leaping chlamydia. Image

AP Ridiculed Over Article on Lack of Ethnic Diversity at Winter Olympics  The purported news outlet thoroughly embarrassed itself with a piece that centered around the lack of ethnic diversity at the winter games, presenting it as a problematic and discriminatory issue that needed to be addressed by society and the people in power (aka government)...

Peaceful Protesters, or Fifth Column Insurrectionists? A sobering analysis of Chinese ties to progressive politicians. If foreign enemies were attempting to start an insurrection in the U.S., agitating the public into anarchy, they would probably start where the most unhinged of the American population lives. Well, what do you know, we’re having riots/protests in New York, Minneapolis, and Los Angeles.
  What evidence is there that these “peaceful protests” are coordinated efforts? Read it all...

Fifth Circuit upholds Trump administration's mandatory detention policy  A panel of judges ruled 2-1 that the government can lawfully require detention for all noncitizens in removal proceedings who entered the U.S. without being legally admitted.

A globalist utopia? No, a European caliphate under Islamic mob rule  A proselytising religion cannot stand still. It can either expand or contract. Islam endeavours to expand in Britain . . . It aims at bringing its message to all corners of the earth. It hopes that one day the whole of humanity will be one Muslim community, the umma. Image

EU Censorship Threatens Free Speech Beyond Europe, Warns US  On 5 February, the battle over online free speech took a decisive international turn. In a warning aimed squarely at European regulators, US lawmakers accused the EU of exporting censorship to American citizens through pressure placed on US-based technology companies.
   What began as a regulatory disagreement has evolved into a broader confrontation over sovereignty and constitutional values. At issue is whether foreign governments, operating through regulatory frameworks such as the EU’s Digital Services Act, can shape what Americans are allowed to say, read, or publish online, even when that speech is lawful under United States law.

There’s a new study claiming that Gen Z is the first generation to score lower on IQ tests than the millennials before them. For decades, rising IQ scores have become the norm, and they’ve been linked to formal education, complex problem solving, literacy, and abstract reasoning. Across many generations, those skills were trained consistently, but for some reason today, the education looks entirely different. Suddenly attention is fragmented, information can’t be absorbed, memory is treated like cloud storage, and reading is practically nonexistent.

The Lord your God is in your midst...

The Lord your God is in your midst,

Bombshell Report Links Rashida Tlaib to Terrorist Groups  "Through public endorsement, co-sponsorship, and amplification, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has consistently engaged with a range of organizations known to maintain operational or ideological ties to terrorist networks," the report details. "Tlaib has engaged with and disseminated the messaging of these groups and has shared related content on social media platforms, has participated in events organized by these groups, and has referenced their terminology and conceptual frameworks in official congressional communications."

'He Will Not Be the Last': CAIR Celebrates Judge Inside Florida Capitol   As outlined in a sermon by CAIR Leader Nihad Awad, the goal is not short-term activism. It is permanent placement. The stated target is a pipeline of thousands of mosques producing recruits, with a long-term goal of tens of thousands of lawyers, journalists, filmmakers, and professors, and even “a Supreme Court judge.”

Mamdani Turns NYC into Wasteland of Corpses and Trash The city hasn’t had trash pickup for a third of Mamdani’s term. It’s also had a homeless death against every other day he’s been in office. Zohran Mamdani did promise to transform New York City, but few expected him to make it a frozen wasteland full of corpses and trash in one month.

Democrats, lacking a positive agenda, bet on chaos, Trump hysteria, and media allies to spark a midterm backlash as Trump’s economic rebound gains steam.

Gutfeld Destroys the Democrats’ Voter ID Double Standard, and It’s Glorious   Gutfeld opened by zeroing in on the left’s most glaring contradiction. “You got to hand it to the Democrats,” he said. “On one hand, they think a child can handle the decision to lop off their genitals, but then on the other, they think black people can’t get a photo ID.”

So, what changed for the AMA and ASPS? The unstated answer is the verdict in New York. If there’s one thing that institutional organizations like the AMA are scared of more than being targeted by the woke mob, it’s lawsuits that will cost their members big money. Now that doctors have to worry about being sued for chopping body parts off healthy children and prescribing them drugs that will disfigure them for life, the “evidence” that we were all told supported child gender transitions has suddenly gone missing.

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob...

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
    whose hope is in the Lord his God,
who made heaven and earth,

who keeps faith forever;
    who executes justice for the oppressed,
    who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;
    the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
    the Lord loves the righteous.

Anti-ICE Agitators Targeting Parishioners Outside Cities Church for Second Straight Sunday Nevertheless, barred by a police presence from entering Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, after their grotesque January 18 storming of a worship service over the pastor’s alleged affiliation with ICE, agitators continue to harass parishioners from outside the building as they come and go.

Anti-ICE Activism Represents The Suicide Of Western Civilization  Left-wing agitators think they are saints (and future martyrs), but the prophetic Burnham could perceive what they truly were: men and women who, schooled in an ideology of self-hatred of their own culture and civilization, are deluded into hastening its demise. They are to be pitied, and prayed for.

Parents Beware…This Is How Islamization Infects Your Schools - Islamic Org Hands Out ‘Sharia’ Brochures, Qurans, Hijabs, And Candy To Students    Texas has a massive, growing Islamic problem, and kids are being targeted. On Monday, four Muslim women belonging to “Why Islam” were caught distributing brochures titled “Understanding Shariah,” Qurans, hijabs, and candy to students at Wylie East High in Wylie, Texas. It was all caught on video, and the high school immediately went into damage control mode, claiming they were investigating the unauthorized distribution of religious materials by an outside organization.

Virginia Begins Criminalizing Opposition to Islam   Why provide Islam with this privileged status? Because it makes Islam distinct, which is a step towards making it superior, and making Islam distinct and superior is the religious mission of all believing Muslims.
    This isn’t about making sure that attacks on Muslims are prosecuted, but about providing Islam with special privileges.

In addition to being consumed with left-wing politicking, the teachers’ unions inflict significant harm on the nation’s children.

AMA Now Says 'Evidence Is Insufficient' for Trans Surgeries  Reversing course does not exonerate any of these guys, of course.

   But reversing course will at least stop the madness.
