Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name...
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him!
Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;
tremble before him, all the earth;
yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice,
and let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!”
MA Dem Lawmakers Launch DEI Program Prioritizing Muslims for State Employment According to the bill, the commission will “Identify and recommend qualified American Muslims for appointive positions at all levels of government, including boards and commissions, as the commission considers necessary and appropriate.” Critics argue that prioritizing a specific religious group for state government positions undermines the principle of equal treatment under the law.
Death of the Bodegas: NYC and Mamdani Get Smacked with Lawsuit Over Soviet-Style Grocery StoresNew York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is being sued by a coalition of business organizations fronted by an immigrant-led nonprofit over his opening of Soviet-style grocery stores. They claim it will put bodegas out of business and force New Yorkers to turn to the government-owned stores.
NIH Announces Policy to Prohibit Gain-of-Function ResearchOn the day before Anthony Fauci came to the Senate for a congressional hearing, the Trump-Bhattacharya National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a new policy to prohibit gain-of-function research like the kind that led to COVID-19.
In Ohio, poker night is fine, but praying with friends is forbiddenIf government can restrict religious observance in a man’s home with no accountability, then bureaucratic tentacles have slithered into the sacred space between man and God. In this nation, founded by pilgrims fleeing religious persecution, nothing could be more antithetical to our way of life than government officials policing private religious practice.

How are detransitioners faring in medical malpractice cases across the country?“Removing healthy body parts isn’t a proven cure for underlying trauma or the mental health problems our clients faced—autism, depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, psychosis,” Payne added. “Doctors and therapists deceive and mistreat their patients when they oversell the benefits and undersell the risks of such procedures.”

‘Absolute chaos’ as thousands of people breach Morocco’s border with Spain’s Ceuta“The situation is absolute chaos,” said Rachid Sbihi, head of the association that represents Spain’s Civil Guard officers in Ceuta, who police the border. “It’s not possible to give precise numbers, but there are thousands of migrants crossing,” he said, adding that the border had “totally collapsed.”
The INVASION of Spain is unfolding right before our eyes 🇪🇸🚨
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's government policies are actively encouraging massive waves of migration from Africa into Spain.

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. -2 Corinthians 4:16-18

The State Of American Elections: For The Left, 'The Worse, The Better'Americans long knew that their elections were in embarrassingly poor shape, but President Donald Trump’s address this month revealed just how extensive the problems had become. The Trump administration’s investigation revealed foreign interference and deep-state, treasonous subterfuge.
Sen. Rand Paul Releases Document Trove Detailing Pre-Pandemic Biosecurity BreachesNew document release shows Customs and Border Patrol intercepted undeclared biological materials tied to this network of American and Chinese coronavirus researchers in 2018, and the FBI stopped the agency from intercepting a key covid researcher in 2021.

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
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.
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.
CIA Whistleblower Confirms Shadow Government Is Running the Intel Community—and Blocking TrumpThe 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.

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.
10 States Checked Their Voter Rolls With a DHS Database to Find Startling Info So far, 25 states have cross-checked more than 68 million voter registration records through SAVE and found 28,000 noncitizens and 400,000 dead people registered to vote. As more states finalize the process, the number will likely grow.
And then the public weighed in, making it clear that even if Cunningham made WNBA execs weak-kneed, the Indiana Fever guard certainly connected with fans, because on Friday morning, her shoes sold out within hours of their debut. Screenshot

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 AmericaToday, 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 TerrorFor 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.
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. Project Bay exposed one network using legitimate commerce as cover. America can't afford to discover its northern gaps only after the drugs, guns, and brokers are already in place.
