And if you call on him as Father...

And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.  -1 Peter 1:17-21 Image

How Moral Relativism Ushers in Moral Repression...Pro-abortion feminists who vote militant Muslims into power shoot themselves in the foot Unable to see beyond the huge dunce caps balanced on their heads, liberal women and moral relativists, in the name of tolerance, diversity, and religious freedom, have chosen to catapult Islamist politicians into seats of power.  Someone, please make it make sense...
...Or maybe the plan is for the pink pussy hat parade to finally march to Mecca, pledge allegiance to Allah, and adopt the tenets of that faith.  They can don a designer hijab, submit to the patriarchy, and relegate equal rights to the ash heap of history.



Are there Muslims in the U.S. and Europe who want to assimilate and wish no harm to their hosts? Of course. But who are they? It’s almost impossible to know because it’s too easy to hide behind taqiyya, an Islamic legal doctrine that allows Muslims to conceal their internal beliefs. Or, as Dictionary.com explains, it’s “the practice of denying one’s religion, permissible when one is faced with persecution.”

“Campaign planning", "fundraising" and "endorsements" all covered.

Philly ‘Kristallnacht’ protests at Jewish-owned businesses drowned out, shouted down by huge crowds  Protests of Jewish-owned businesses in Philadelphia by dozens of masked bikers on the eve of the Kristallnacht anniversary were drowned out by a massive crowd of heckling counter-protesters on Sunday.
   The boycott, which targeted restaurants run by Jewish Americans in Philly’s ritzy Rittenhouse Square neighborhood, came face-to-face with a large counterprotest aimed at supporting the businesses.

Colleges are teaching generations of students to distrust America’s history and institutions without first understanding what made them worth defending.

The War For Freedom Is Just Beginning...The midterms were one battle of a much bigger war  Because, make no mistake — we are in an information war, and in all such wars, the enemy seeks first and foremost to intimidate, demoralize, and defeat you.  The propaganda press and their globalist masters wish to sap you of your strength by weakening your convictions.  They attack your mind, so that you give up and refuse to stand.  These people and institutions are parasites; you are their intended victims.

The UK government is growing ever bolder in its suppression of inconvenient speech.

A new caravan of as many as 500 migrants has crossed into Mexico and is heading toward the U.S. border, just days after Democrats won control of the House, the Senate and the Texas governor's office, Breitbart Texas reported.


Seems “U.S.A.” now stands for “United States of Ass-hattery” …  on the way to becoming the “United States of Arabia.”   
Hide your bacon, beer, and puppies. 
Or don’t. And choose to fight back. No matter the cost. Cheers!

A Contrarian View on Election 2026: Trump Was Right, GOP Was OK, Voters Were Wrong  The fallout falls fully on the voters. They are wrong, and they foolishly voted against their own interests out of short-term outrage.

Fraudulent Transfer of $26 Million Kept Secret in a New Jersey Township Until After the Election Several residents slammed the announcement on the township’s Facebook page, questioning why the crime was kept secret.

And get this:
   It's take two more YEARS to phase out floppy disks at air traffic control.

The Internet’s Hidden Weakness Detected by AI...The next cyberattack against an American company may not begin with a suspicious email, a stolen password, or a hacker manually probing a network.  It may begin with artificial intelligence finding a flaw buried in software that has been running for years, then helping an adversary turn that discovery into a weapon.
   The recent global scramble over critical vulnerabilities in PHP, a programming language used across the internet, offers a glimpse of what that future could look like. Researchers used AI to help uncover vulnerabilities that had escaped notice for years. The flaws could potentially allow attackers to execute malicious code remotely and take control of vulnerable servers. Governments and organizations scrambled to patch systems, while some websites were temporarily taken offline.

Jesus Paid it All

 
Jesus Paid it All 
Hymns of Grace

1 I hear the Savior say,
"Thy strength indeed is small,
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all."

Refrain:
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

2 Lord, now indeed I find
Thy pow'r and Thine alone,
Can change the leper's spots
And melt the heart of stone. 
Refrain

3 For nothing good have I
Where-by Thy grace to claim;
I'll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv'ry's Lamb. 
Refrain

4 And when, before the throne,
I stand in Him complete,
"Jesus died my soul to save,"
My lips shall still repeat.
 Refrain

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness...

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 
-Romans 8:26-27

To strive in prayer means to struggle through those hindrances which would restrain or even prevent us entirely from continuing in persevering prayer. It means to be so watchful at all times that we can notice when we become slothful in prayer and [that we] go to the Spirit of prayer to have this remedied. In this struggle, too, the decisive factor is the Spirit of prayer.  -O. Hallesby Image

Cash App Severs Ties with Leftist Podcaster Jennifer Welch After She Fantasizes About Someone Digging Up Charlie Kirk and Shooting Him Again Leftist darling Jennifer Welch and co-host Angie Sullivan laugh uncontrollably for 30 seconds at the thought of someone digging up Charlie Kirk and shooting him again.

88 Years After Kristallnacht, Philadelphia Activists Ride on Sunday to Mark Jewish Shops for Removal  “Marking businesses for removal from Philadelphia is an attempt to intimidate, marginalize and exclude members of the Jewish community from the economic and civic life of our city,” the statement continued. “No business should be targeted because of the identity, heritage or perceived political beliefs of its owners.” Image

Are You Part of the Resistance? Barth, the Church, the Jews, and the Nazis...  With the West descending into a new barbarism with a growing and diabolical anti-Semitism, European cities on fire, and America now lurching to a socialist/Islamic future (especially following the midterms), we need the same sort of brave voices of resistance today...
...But now more than ever, America, Australia and the rest of the West need courageous and unflinching Christians who will speak out against tyranny, growing Jew-hatred, the loss of freedom, the war on faith, and the erosion of democracy. Barth did this as great cost. Will you be another Barth today?

Claudia Leal Luna criticized the Vatican's 2021 ruling against blessings for gay unions, arguing that Catholic sexual morality needs to take 'some steps.'

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

The great irony of our time is that the Western church has never had more money and never done less with it for the people who need it most. We have built beautiful buildings for ourselves and called it faithfulness. We have restored the bell towers. But the bell was never meant to call us in. It was meant to send us out.
  If we do not hear it, God will not stop His mission. He will simply give the lampstand to someone who will carry it. He is doing so already.
  The only question left is whether we will repent before the light goes out — or explain the darkness afterward. Image

"Yes” and “Amen” in Christ...

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. -2 Corinthians 1:20-22

If the anointing which we bear come not from the Lord of hosts we are deceivers, and since only in prayer can we obtain it, let us continue instant, constant, fervent in supplication... Think not to be a messenger of grace to others till you have seen the God of grace for yourselves, and had the word from his mouth.   
-Charles Haddon Spurgeon Image

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

Evangelicals' absence at the polls could carry a steep price for Christians – and Israel  National Exit Polls showed that white Evangelical or born-again Christians accounted for just 17% of the national electorate, compared to 24% in the 2022 midterms and approximately 23% in 2024.

Here's How One Republican Defied the Blue Wave and Won in Deep-Blue Vermont  He is perhaps best described as a principled conservative, known for supporting economic growth, keeping government small, and adhering to the limits of government power.

Abdul El-Sayed Supporter Calls for Mass Executions of Republicans  "Nuremberg Trials, Democrats," says influencer Nick Pringle. "Nuremberg Trials for all these people. You have not been hired to come in and do your best. You have been hired to come in and do your worst. And understand, this is the last vote you get until we see Epstein file convictions, alright?" Image

The Coming Persecution...The midterm “mandate” is all about revenge  As Donald Trump has said before, “They’re not after me, they’re after you, and I just happen to be standing in the way.” Rest assured, whatever power the Left can grab from the midterm elections, they will use to persecute their political opponents, and they will not stop at Trump and his administration; they will never stop until every one of us is either behind bars or consigned to re-education camps, because this is the leftist way. This is the totalitarian way, and as the late David Horowitz was fond of noting, scratch a liberal and you will find a totalitarian just beneath the surface.

Expect an aggressive mutation of every policy from the first wave, and then some. This is the Hydra: cut off one head and two grow back. Already, the Left is advertising the gayest Congress in history; throuples and foursomes legally registering as partners; sickos promising to “trans your kids so bad”; Christians branded bigots and fed heretical lies about their own faith; Muslim electeds praised by foreign terror organizations; American AI innovation threatened and thwarted, to the chagrin of America and the delight of China; and Democrats threatening not just prosecutions of Republicans, but persecutions. They are begging for blood.

DSA Wave Swallows LA as Democratic Socialist Nithya Raman Thumps Karen Bass in Battle to Become Mayor – Spencer Pratt Eviscerates Both Leftists  We now have the Red/Green Alliance in control coast to coast. Americans will get what they voted for this time around, and by the time buyer’s remorse sets in, it may be too late. Nothing is really free – everything ever worth having takes work, something communists can’t comprehend.
   Los Angeles will now go from bad to worse and fast, and there will be little sympathy for the leftist city. It will continue to burn.

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

Legalizing Weed Created A Health Disaster That’s Only Going To Get Worse  Emergency departments have seen an increase in cases of chronic, debilitating abdominal pain accompanied by severe, intractable retching. Patients are repeatedly admitted for profound dehydration, electrolyte disturbances, and acute kidney injury, driven entirely by downregulation from chronic, high-potency use.
   The link between high-concentration THC and psychiatric disorders has shifted from a hypothesis to a documented risk. Psychiatric admissions alone show that adolescents and young adults who use cannabis are twice as likely to be diagnosed with a bipolar or psychotic disorder. Emergency departments are now the frontline triage for severe depressive crises, paranoid ideation, and acute suicidality tied directly to rising potency and use.

You guide me with your counsel...

You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will receive me to glory.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
-Psalm 73:24-26

Prayer is the expression of a good desire. The human heart is full of restless desires, and the prayers of men consist for the most part of the unsifted petitions which are urged by their varying passions... To desire what is right, and to desire it consistently, and passionately, is the first condition of true living. The desires can be corrected only by truth, the mind must apprehend God, and then it will say, “There is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee.”   
-James Hastings Image

Dread and Circuses: Jonathan Turley and Byron Donalds Agree Dems Will Clown Out on Impeachment Democrats have always had one goal on their dark minds and black hearts: retribution. Yes, they’re going to use the next two years to go after President Donald Trump with pointless impeachment hearings and endless investigations. Image



11 Facts About the Midterms That Show That America Is in Far More Trouble Than Most People Realize  And just look at how virtually all of our largest cities have degenerated under the leadership of Democrats.
   Nearly every major system and every major institution in this country is broken.
   Our society is literally in the process of collapsing all around us, and American voters are counting on the Democratic Party to come up with some sort of a miracle.   Good luck with all that.

Abdul El-Sayed Gave His Victory Speech. He Said Something Absolutely Chilling. During his victory speech, the Democrat senator-elect made it clear whom he thought won the election.
His people.
   He used Arabic religious expressions, including Inshallah, meaning "God willing," and Alhamdulillah, meaning "Praise be to God." The crowd applauded enthusiastically.
   El-Sayed grinned smugly throughout the speech. And why not? He has successfully infiltrated the “liberal” Democrat Party and brought his Islamist extremism with him.



What The Midterms Reveal About The Faith Vote  The 2026 midterm elections delivered a significant political setback for Republicans and President Donald Trump, with Democrats making massive gains in Congress and several key gubernatorial races. Beyond the familiar story of political dissatisfaction, economic anxiety and voter backlash, this election revealed another important development: The growing influence of faith, religious identity and moral conviction in American political life.

But here’s a cautionary note. Just a few election cycles ago, Mohammed Abdulrahman El-Sayed and James Talarico would have been utterly unelectable. Now they’re winning candidates. In this world, much conventional wisdom based on politics in the old world is no lo.nger valid.
   That’s life in Late Democracy. Be well.

'We Need To Stop Giving Birth to Them': Maryland Special Ed Teacher Called To Abort Boys, Overthrow US Government Zentgraf was even more explicit in an Oct. 24 post, writing, "If I was in my reproduction era, I would have one of those early blood tests to see if the fetus is a boy or a girl and I would abort it if it was a boy. I don't want to give birth to my own oppressor and I feel like the only way out of this patriarchal hell is for there to be less men on this earth. I think we should start aborting male fetuses (or not having kids at all right now) and put an end to female oppression once and for all."

That I may know him and the power of his resurrection...

Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.  -Philippians 3:8-11

Once you become aware that the main business that you are here for is to know God, most of life’s problems fall into place of their own accord.   -James I. Packer

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

Politics can restrain evil. It cannot redeem it. Culture can be influenced. It cannot be saved by legislation or court appointments. The obliteration of the GOP majority is painful. It is also clarifying. The work that actually endures is not another cycle of fundraising and messaging. It is doing the will of God, spreading the Gospel, and refusing to be absorbed by the world that is passing away.

The Unholy Alliance: Immigration, Socialism, and Political Islam in America  Politics makes strange bedfellows. It always has and always will. 
   Nevertheless, even Machiavelli might have struggled to explain today’s increasingly visible alliance between immigration activists, Democratic Socialists, and Islamic political activism in America.

 
Mamdani's Massive Real Estate Swindle Just Took a Huge Step Forward  AEI's Howard Husock warned last summer that the "endgame" of Mamdani's war on landlords "could well be what Mamdani promised in his campaign: housing socialism for thousands of apartments, which would move into city ownership or nonprofit ownership enabled by the city taking and disposing of apartments."

Virginia voters said yes to allowing abortion throughout a pregnancy Tuesday night, while Missourians defeated a proposed amendment that would have repealed a right to abortion until viability.

Heavenly Father, we ask you today to be with us and our country...

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. 1 Timothy 2:1-6

**********************************

    Heavenly Father, we ask you today to be with us and our country now as you have been since our first days as a nation. Help us to listen less to harsh rhetoric and more to the Holy Spirit. Help us to feel how Your Spirit will guide us, no matter the election’s outcome. We pray for peace, love and hope, in Your name. Amen.

    Christ, our King, we pray today that we can look beyond the current political landscape, in a moment when it seems like it’s the only thing everyone is talking about, and remember that we are builders of Your kingdom here on earth. Prince of Peace, help peace flourish amid division, and strengthen us to live generously and charitably in Your name. Amen.

    God, may Your Spirit unify us. May we recognize that we are all created in Your image, regardless of which political candidate we vote for. As we approach this election, open our eyes to recognize that people we may disagree with are still our brothers and sisters, Your children. In Jesus’s name we pray. Amen. Prayer here

Billionaire tax puts California’s economic future before midterm voters  The ballot measure, known as Proposition 40, would impose a one-time 5% wealth tax on taxpayers and trusts with assets in excess of $1 billion and use the revenue to fund state healthcare programs, public education and food assistance.
  The tax would be payable over five years and covered assets would include businesses, securities, art, collectibles and intellectual property – though real property, pensions and certain retirement accounts would be exempt.

For you were called to freedom...

For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Galatians 5:13-14

Let a man set his heart only on doing the will of God and he is instantly free. No one can hinder him. If we understand our first and sole duty to consist of loving God supremely and loving everyone, even our enemies, for God’s dear sake, then we can enjoy spiritual tranquility under every circumstance.   -A.W.

What we are witnessing is a literal Communist-Islamist revolution launched to take over Europe. Make no mistake: America has millions of people who agree with European revolutionaries. From the Muslim fundamentalists whom the Biden administration brought in, to the pro-Hamas students brainwashed at universities, to the politicians who believe it is in their interest to destroy the American Republic and rebuild it as an oligarchy, we have our own existential crisis with the Red-Green Alliance.
