Fear not the storm...

And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?”   -Matthew 8:23-27 Image

Fear not the storm, it brings healing in its wings, and when Jesus is with you in the vessel, the tempest only hastens the ship to its desired haven.   -CH Spurgeon

Migrants Who Invaded Spanish City Are Snatching Girls, Gang Raping Them in the Mountains: Police  Spanish police officers are raising concerns about reported sexual assaults involving migrant in Ceuta, saying some victims have been targeted near the Temporary Stay Center for Immigrants and dragged to surrounding settlements in the hills and mountains and gang raped. Police and residents have alleged that groups of women and minors avoid straying from areas around police vehicles because they fear being attacked in isolated terrain. Screenshot

If we’re not careful, Islamic extremists threaten to turn us into ‘Americastan’   Several states are trying to ban or restrict Sharia law. In Texas, state leaders are opening investigations into Muslim institutions and attempting to block the development of huge Muslim enclaves. But much more needs to be done.
   Britain offers the starkest possible warning of the frog being slowly boiled in the Islamist pot. Time is ticking.
   Wake up, America.

The Democrats’ deranged hatred of Trump has driven them to reveal their true, socialist selves, and they’ll happily destroy America if it means destroying Trump.

In Our Modern Dystopia, We Treat Animals Like Children And Children Like Animals  Of course, the less abstract explanation is that a growing number of Americans view pets and children as different versions of the same product: an adult accessory that exists to improve the life of its “owner” without causing too much inconvenience or making too many demands of the individual who actually matters. With God and the reality that humans are made in his image kicked to the curb, it’s a Peter Singer world where babies are less than human and animals get promoted to take their place, but what’s truly important is adults getting whatever adults want, regardless of the body count.

Regardless of whether a Satanist actually believes in Satan, honoring even what Satan stands for opens a door to the darkest spiritual power. You may recall that back in November of 2023, the Satanic Temple of Iowa had received permission to erect a statue of the occult idol Baphomet near a Nativity display at the Iowa State Capitol building. Baphomet was surrounded by candles and holding a pentacle – an occult talisman containing the inverted pentagram associated with Satanism and that is the logo for the Satanic Temple. Image

The U.S. Faces A "Historic" Cattle Shortage As The Size Of The U.S. Herd Shrinks To The Smallest Since 1951 “The biggest thing has been drought,” Eric Belasco, head of the agricultural economics department at Montana State University, previously told Fox News Digital.
   He said years of dry weather have depleted grasslands across the West and Plains, leaving ranchers without enough feed or water to sustain their herds. Many have been forced to sell cattle early, including cows needed to produce the next generation of calves, making the road to recovery even longer.

Let's take a look at the top three technological bogeymen and whether the fear and loathing is justifiable.

Americans Stop Paying the World’s Pharmacy Tab as Prices Fall Hardest Since 1963   TrumpRx has already generated $700 million in patient savings. GLP-1 drugs that previously exceeded $1,000 monthly now start at $149; many other high-cost medications (insulin, inhalers, fertility drugs, cholesterol treatments) have fallen 50–90%. Prescription prices are down 3.9% since Trump took office and have declined every month of 2026.

And this is the confidence that we have toward him...

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him. -1 John 5:14-15

God will either give you what you ask, or something far better.

A Call to Power: Islamic Leaders See Ballot Box as Path to Paradise  Critics say electing Muslims to public office is freighted with other concerns. Many come from Islamic nations where corruption is the norm, and those ways have carried over to places like Hamtramck, where the majority of the city council is under active investigation for election fraud; and to Minneapolis, where Muslim lawmakers and the Muslim attorney general have been accused of protecting, even enabling, Somali immigrants who stole hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars from state and federal welfare agencies as part of a massive fraud ring, according to the Justice Department. The 2026 Directory of Elected Muslim Officials reports that  there are currently 228 American Muslim elected officials serving across 26 states.

Dem Cities Offer Interest-Free Loans to Comply with Islamic Sharia Law   A growing number of Democrat cities are offering interest-free loans to comply with Sharia law – just the latest example of how the radical religious and moral code of Islam is supplanting American law without any input from voters.

Fake News ‘Journalists’ Love the Deep State...The Fourth Estate is constitutionally illiterate  From the point of view of corporate news propagandists, a Democrat-controlled White House is permitted to use the FBI and DOJ to target political enemies.  When a Republican sits in the Oval Office, the White House’s authority over the DOJ must be severed and the attorney general must be made to swear a loyalty oath to the permanent bureaucracy.  According to our dumb and ideologically partisan corporate “journalists,” there is a special Fourth Branch of government entitled to ignore the Constitution and the president’s inherent Executive authority while protecting the Deep State and the Democrat Party’s interests.


“All previously published polling releases have been withdrawn and should not be cited or treated as genuine polling data,” the message read. “Median Strategies was created as a short-term social experiment examining how purported polling information could enter and spread through the political information ecosystem without independent verification.”

Critics Say Moderna’s New FDA-Approved mRNA Flu Shot Does More Harm Than Good   Vaccine critics say that among other “egregious subterfuges, cheats and poor design practices” in Moderna’s clinical trial, the company didn’t use a true placebo, but instead compared the mRNA shot to a traditional flu vaccine, in other words they compared “one bad vaccine with another.”

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice...

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;

It is unfortunate that we welcome into our country people who want to destroy it. Islam is out to erase our way of life. Muslims have told us that our values are evil and must be obliterated. This is an inversion of the truth. Islam breeds fanaticism and intolerance, as Robert Spencer, author and director of Jihad Watch, has explained in detail. He argues that if the “failure and tragedy of Islam is not faced honestly, the same pattern of societal destruction and decay that swept over much of the Islamic world will bring down Western civilization as well.”


Imam Banned From UK and Canada for Defending Rape of Non-Muslim Women Still Allowed in the US  How did we get to the point where the UK and Canada take a tougher line on these horrifying Islamic Supremacist views than we do?

More Clarity on the West’s Civilisational Battle with Islam  This idea that the West is in a life-or-death civilisational battle with Islam certainly seems to have been correct. Every day we read about how Islamists are wreaking havoc around the world, especially in the West. Every day we see sharia law and the universal caliphate expanding, with Western freedoms and democracies shrinking.
   And every day we read about woke wonders in the West who are aiding and abetting all this. Simply think of Mamdani in NYC, or Khan in London, or Sanchez in Spain, or Macron in France, or Albanese in Australia – to name but a few. It really is a battle of civilisations. Either the Islamic worldview will prevail, or the Judeo-Christian one will triumph.

Sayed needs to be asked some pertinent questions. For example, were it up to him, what fate should a Muslim suffer for converting to Christianity? Does he personally consider all women to be equal to all men? Does he intend, if elected, to leave his religion at the door, contrary to Islam’s demand?
   For the record, El-Sayed could well give false testimony in response. Such is permissible under Islam. While honesty is supposedly honored, three situations allow Muslims to lie. These include lying to resolve a situation between two individuals, to a spouse in order to please her, and to be deceptive about an ongoing war. Clearly, as Islam’s ultimate goal is the submission of all religions to it, such a war between Islam and all other religions is in progress.

UAlbany's 'Inclusive Excellence' staffers received more than $461K in 2025 The University at Albany, a State University of New York (SUNY) institution, paid four employees in its Division of Inclusive Excellence a combined $461,630 in 2025, according to available payroll information.
   The Division of Inclusive Excellence aims to 'ensure that diversity in our people and ideas drives excellence in everything we do,' according to its website. Image

Pennsylvania Awards $5 MILLION To Terrorist-Linked Islamic School Working To ‘Impose Islam On The World’ That Called America ‘Toxic’  The taxpayer-backed academy calls for an “Islamic world-view,” preparing students to spread Islam to fellow Americans, and currently advertises instruction in fiqh, the jurisprudence used to elaborate Sharia.
   Pennsylvania awarded $5 million in taxpayer-backed funding to expand a private Islamic school whose own handbook declared “Our Culture Is Toxic To Muslims,” warned families against outside cultural influences, and explicitly instructed students to develop an Islamic worldview and spread Islam’s message to other Americans, according to state records and school materials reviewed for this investigation.

Nearly half of measles cases in the US are among MMR-vaccinated people  44% of diagnosed measles cases are among people who received the MMR vaccine. School mandates rely on the argument that the immunocompromised will be exposed unilaterally by the unvaccinated; this is clearly not the case, James Lyons-Weiler writes.
   Additionally, vaccinated people can transmit the measles virus to others – and the vaccine-induced infection is not the same as the wild-type virus.

There is something spiritually wrong with liberal women. I’m not suggesting that liberalism is evil. Only that it has become the portal for the demonic possession of women. It has perverted their inherent compassion, femininity, and maternal instinct into a counterforce of darkness. So that they act and talk like demons. And seeing them do it is akin to witnessing a Witches Sabbath.

New York Democratic Socialist Lawmaker Emily Gallagher Asserts Stealing for ‘Biological Need’ Should Not Be Illegal  New York State Assemblywoman Emily Gallagher, a community organizer and a Democratic Socialist, advocated for the rights of thieves this week by contending that shoplifters should be allowed to walk off with soap and toothpaste from local stores without getting busted because they have a “biological need” for the products. She wants to legalize theft and asserts that most crime is rooted in poverty. Image


How illegals plunder American billions, in broad daylight...And how Democrats enabled every dollar plundered   Around 30 million illegals (plus natural-born citizen children) milk the entire American economy, and every handout agency in Washington, for hundreds of billions annually. Much of it is remitted to their home countries, from Mexico to China to Somalia.
   Large parts of those remittances end up in the hands of:
     -Terrorist groups, and NGOs that supply them with cash; and
     -Cartels trafficking in illegals, drugs, prostitutes, and even children.

Nigerian court: Christian woman wrongly arrested for converting from Islam  A Federal High Court in Muslim-majority northern Nigeria has ruled that Islamic religious police have no authority to arrest a woman over her conversion from Islam to Christianity. The ruling curbs the reach of Hisbah, religious police units that enforce Sharia law.

English Villages In Fear Over 1,200 Male Migrants Moved Next To Schools  Up to 1,200 single adult male asylum seekers are earmarked for former military sites sitting within a mile of primary schools, nurseries and children's play areas, in direct tension with the Home Office's own recent guidance against housing near sensitive locations.
   The plan, revived and pressed forward under the current government, would drop large numbers of young men into high-trust, low-density rural communities that could not be more culturally distant from the backgrounds of many arrivals. The effect is to create maximum demographic shock and local fury in places least equipped to absorb it.

That is what made the cackling in Healey’s office so sinister. Those women were not celebrating “prioritizing the patient.” They are celebrating a procedure that is undeniably infanticide; a procedure that involves injecting babies with heart-stopping poison; grim stillbirths; crushed skulls; severed limbs. They are celebrating hard tools tearing through soft baby flesh; tiny heads separated from bodies; small hands opening and closing as small bodies are targeted with violence. As one nurse recalled after a late-term abortion: “That baby boy had the most perfect angelic face I have ever seen.”

Catholic Group Urges MA Governor Be Excommunicated for Signing Law Legalizing Abortions Up Until Birth  Healey, a self-proclaimed Catholic, signed “An Act Prioritizing Patient Access to Care” or H.5595, which eliminates the state’s 24-week limit and allows unborn babies to be killed in abortions throughout pregnancy. The governor was surrounded by a gaggle of grinning women who applauded ecstatically as she signed the radical bill.

Just as the government cannot favor the secular over the sacred, it also cannot favor one religious view over all others.”

Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God...

And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us. -1 John 3:23-24  Image

Was it the COVID vaccine? How did America come to this?  What the hell happened? We have moronic Marxists telling us that capitalism is bad, despite the fact that it made the U.S. the most successful, wealthy -- and generous -- nation in history. We have Muslims telling us that we shouldn’t eat bacon, drink beer, or own dogs. We have men claiming that they are women … if they but say they are. To hell with Genesis, I guess.
   Was there a stupid gene in the COVID vaccines? Did the Plandemic break us? Or did we do it to ourselves?

No matter how much deception, camouflage, or brainwashing is employed, statism, socialism, and communism can never sustain public support. Throughout history, the Left has therefore begun by changing the rules and altering the demography — if not initially through changes to election rules, bureaucratic fiat, and biased court orders, then eventually through sheer violence.

The closure of the Internet occurred in two distinct phases: 2015-2019 (associated with the 2015 migrant crisis, Brexit, Donald Trump’s election, and the so-called alt-right) and 2020-2022 (associated with the lockdowns and the 2020 election). Almost all of the technical and organizational infrastructure and conceptual justifications were built out in the first phase, which successfully decapitated and destroyed the previously-independent, but by definition fringe, online ecosystem of ideas. In the second phase, the same weapons that previously targeted heterodox online discourse were turned against opposition to the COVID measures du joure and mainstream conservatives. The scale of censorship has no precedent; tens of millions of accounts suppressed or banned, billions of posts removed.

Why are Muslim American Politicians Uniformly Democrats? The Unholy Alliance on full display.   They generally hold up their Muslim religion as a prominent part of their political identity, which presents somewhat of a conundrum.
   The principles and values of Islam, as far as I can tell, are in total contrast to the values and principles that define today’s Democratic Party.

Sore loser hysterics notwithstanding, there is truth to the allegation of meddlesome foreign interference in American politics. But that interference isn't coming from Israel. It's coming from terror-tied Islamic groups and Islamic governments.

The Islamization of Texas: Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport Installing Islamic Foot-Washing Stations Texas is being conquered by Islam from within, and it’s accelerating.
