But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake...

But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil. -1 Peter 3:14-17

He has great tranquility of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men. He will easily be content and pacified, whose conscience is pure. You are not holier if you are praised, nor the more worthless if you are found fault with. What you are, that you are; neither by word can you be made greater than what you are in the sight of God.  -Thomas à Kempis

Major banks closed accounts of MAGA, pro-life and other conservative groups disfavored by Biden admin: bombshell report  Major banks closed accounts and refused credit to MAGA merchants, pro-life causes, religious groups, conservative organizations and sectors disfavored by the Biden administration, such as firearms, oil and gas, and private prisons, a bombshell report from the federal banking regulator has found.
   The Debanking Review by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) investigated 100,000 complaints and scrutinized 50,000 internal bank records to reveal how customers were “debanked” based purely on their political, social, or religious beliefs.

DOJ Uncovers North Korean Network Stealing Jobs and Money From Americans  The Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged a dozen people involved in schemes to obtain remote IT positions in America using falsified identities in order to funnel revenue to the tyrannical Communist dictatorship in North Korea (DPRK).

Socialism And Islam Are Both Religions Based On Pillaging The West  This is why today’s communists are joining forces with today’s Islamists, and why Muslim socialist politicians like Zohran Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayed exist. Both ideologies hate the West, yes, but they also hate working. Their idea of democracy is that the mob can “vote” for stealing money from wealthy people, and their idea of justice is to do whatever they want while living off others in perpetuity.

By subsidizing Western educational institutions, our enemies have influenced and changed curriculum, administrators, and teaching staff. Revisionist history is replacing truth as the method of brainwashing the younger generations into believing blatant lies. Students are being “taught” with a curriculum of self-hate, hate of country, and shame. The Islamists and Socialists refer to this generation as “useful idiots.”

How did it come to this? How is it our nation's voters are allowing it to be turned over to its socialist enemies? Today’s Democrat party is doing nothing to stop itself from being infiltrated and captured by far-left (admitted) socialists and Marxists. Furthermore, it does not appear that American voters will do much to prevent the Democrat-socialists from taking over their government.

The Palestinians have played the West, and here’s the awful proof  Ever so occasionally, the utopian Palestine of the liberal imagination and the Palestine that actually exists are forced to come into conflict. One such moment came last weekend when the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, 20 years into his four-year term, once again cancelled democratic elections across the territories.
   The presidential and legislative elections were due to be held at the end of November, and they have been pushed back by almost a year. For some countries – including France, Canada and Australia – the whole illusion of the “state of Palestine” rested not only on that state embracing democracy, but on a supposed Palestinian commitment to holding elections within a year of a ceasefire in Gaza.

Feds Have ‘Probable Cause‘ Ilhan Omar Committed Immigration Crimes  “The big picture here is a federal judge in Washington, DC, signed off on a search warrant. That means there’s probable cause that a federal crime was committed, and there would be evidence of that crime in the area to be searched, which in this case was Representative Omar’s home,” Fahey told the New York Post‘s Chadwick Moore.

Pastor Removed by Police from School Board Meeting After Reading from Library Book in North Carolina   Pastor John K. Amanchukwu Sr. was removed by police from the Iredell-Statesville Schools Board of Education meeting on October 12, 2026, after he began reading excerpts from the novel *Push* by Sapphire, also known as Ramona Lofton. The book is available to students at Lake Norman High School in the district.

To Combat 'Racism,' New York's City Council Plans to Punish White and Asian Students  The soft bigotry of low expectations strikes again. In New York, the City Council is moving to get rid of tests for specialized schools because whites and Asians outperform blacks and Latinos. Remember, not too terribly long ago, we learned that Nikole Hannah-Jones sent her daughter to a failing public school that spent $52,000 a year per student, only for Hannah-Jones' daughter to be unable to write or do math.

Indeed, the concern over LED light is mainstream and growing. Dr. Glen Jeffery at UCL’s Institute of Ophthalmology has found that the blue-heavy light from typical LEDs lowers the membrane potential in our mitochondria, thus impacting the electrical charge that lets our mitochondria produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell. Along with that, blue light in the evening suppresses melatonin and disrupts circadian rhythms, which in turn affects sleep, hormone balance, and overnight cellular repair. And studies on animals reveal that blue light causes retinal damage. Eye damage is significant because half of the human brain is wired, either directly or indirectly, to process what it receives through the eyes. Stare too long at a device and, yes, your eyes are wrecked. Think about it. The notion that it was safe to rewire the light—swap out the bulb—in every home, school, office, street, and so on, and see absolutely no biological cost is absurd.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above...

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. -James 1:17

All of God’s acts are consistent with all of His attributes. No attribute contradicts the other, but all harmonize and blend into each other in the infinite abyss of the Godhead. All that God does agrees with all that God is, and being and doing are one in Him.   
-A.W. Tozer
-----------------------------------

The Republic Stands Only as Long as Its Christian Foundation Holds The United States is a Christian nation that has always allowed the free practice of any religion. History is clear to anyone without an agenda. The people who wrote the founding documents, the state constitutions, and the early laws were overwhelmingly Christian. They built a system that refused to establish a national church while protecting the free exercise of faith. This was to protect the church from the state, not the state from the church.
   The moment that Christian character is stripped away, the liberty that came with it does not remain as a free-floating secular gift. It erodes. Our adversaries understand this. That is why they work so hard to rewrite the founding, empty the public square of any Christian reference, and treat the original arrangement as an accident they have finally corrected.

Their latest effort comes from Colorado, which has become notorious for torturing religious communities by narrowing the practice of religion. Now, pre-schools are being targeted as the state attacks St. Mary Catholic Parish for including conventional Catholic teachings in its preschool classrooms and refusing to offer curriculum that includes irreligious content on marriage and sexuality. The $6,000 per child payment was stopped because the school maintained that if a non-Catholic child attended, he or she would be expected to participate in religious activities. Losing that benefit has likely caused a hardship for many families.

The Subtle Chemical Castration of the Western Male and Mass Migration   The West should proceed carefully here. If we are simultaneously weakening the biological health of men and women, dismantling the cultural institutions that encourage family formation and then using mass immigration to compensate for the resulting demographic vacuum, we may be creating a feedback loop that eventually becomes impossible to reverse.

New Left Is Funded By Millions From Unknown Muslim Donors  Previously little-known political donors pour millions into progressive, anti-Israel candidates.

New York Rejects More Than 16,000 ICE Detainers Involving Migrants Linked to 52,000 Criminal Charges   According to DHS, the individuals associated with those requests have accumulated 52,503 criminal charges or convictions, including 131 homicides, 132 kidnappings and 1,017 sexual offenses.
   The figures have renewed scrutiny of New York’s sanctuary policies, which restrict cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.

A 6-Year-Old Black Boy Shot His Teacher—The Bodycam Video Is Worse  This six-year-old should be a wakeup call.  When we see a little boy who, through either instruction or osmosis, has such anti-social behavior problems, we need to recognize that he wasn’t born that way.  He was indoctrinated by a culture that no longer even pretends to conform to the norms that made America so successful.  That’s a problem.  Not only for the child, his family and his community, but for America as well.  Until that is dealt with, we’ll likely end up seeing more heartbreakingly maddening bodycam videos….

What Democratic Party apparatchiks have promised for decades, she will deliver: votes for non-citizens, single-payer healthcare, abolition of law enforcement, etc.

The Muslim Student Association is Taking Over Texas Public High Schools  Prayer rooms. Special accommodations. Invitations into Islam inside public buildings paid for by Texas taxpayers. And nothing is being done to stop it. Your children are the target. They are being invited to Islam inside your public schools. Imagine if Christians had the same dedicated rooms, the same scheduled prayer time, and the same institutional cover. It would be wall-to-wall national outrage. Instead, silence.

Chicago Public Schools Pays Teachers to Attend Antisemitic “Palestine” Workshops  The ultimate goal of these workshops, of course, is not merely to indoctrinate teachers with radical pro-Hamas, anti-Israel ideology, but to encourage those teachers to bring these slanted perspectives into their own classrooms.

The researchers found that cannabis users “may place themselves in risky situations,” which could help explain the “increased vulnerability” to violence. Users may also be exposed to “peers who engage in substance use or criminal activities.”
  The risk of violence was also more pronounced among psychiatric patients. Previous resarch has found that people who already suffer from pre-existing mental conditions such as psychosis may experience “poorer clinical outcomes” through continued cannabis use.

‘Compassionate’ drug policy is anything but — woke Canada shows us why  In June, a group of academics with close links to Canada’s public-school systems created an agitprop document for kids as young as kindergartners emphasizing “anti-stigma” drug education (in other words, that it’s not OK to say using drugs is not OK).  
   In February, Health Minister Marjorie Michel dodged when asked if Canadian 16-year-olds are allowed to shoot up in a government-approved “safe injection” site; another official soon confirmed that yes, they certainly are.

The Messiah came as a Servant...

And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”  -Mark 10:42-45

The Servant Messiah carries out his ministry in the lives of his ministers. His life is reproduced in their lives, so they also are servants. But this ministry is exercised in and towards the Church, so as to enable the Church itself to carry out the ministry of the Servant. The Messiah came as a Servant; his ministers are servants; and the Church he created is a Servant-Church.   -Anthony T. Hanson

Iran has quietly resumed operations at a nuclear facility that was battered by Israel in March, with new satellite imagery showing “significant renewed activity” and even new construction.
   The high-resolution images, released by the Institute for Science and International Security, show “unusually heavy” vehicle traffic and excavation work at the Minzadayi compound, a nuclear weapons site northeast of Tehran.

‘Privileged ingrates’ like Zohran Mamdani need to quit the genocide hypocrisy  What was most surreal about the charges of “genocide” against Israel — along with all the other slurs of “settler-colonialism,” “apartheid,” “occupation,” “war crimes” — was that they so often came from elite first- and second-generation Middle Eastern immigrants to America.
   Yet these prominent American accusers have remained silent about whether their lurid charges might far better reflect the sordid histories of their own homelands.
   Take the Turkish-American anchor baby Hasan Piker, the millionaire podcaster who has dual citizenship and grew up in Turkey. -VD Hanson

When a genocidal terrorist group responsible for some of the worst atrocities in modern history celebrates the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, you know that the committee made the wrong choice.

We are, as Rubio warned, at a crossroads. Do we pursue excellence and take justified pride in the great things our civilization has accomplished? Or do we retreat to the tenebrous mediocrity and querulous ressentiment of the Last Man? C. S. Lewis drew a frightening portrait of “men without chests,” spiritually timid creatures who lack gumption (a plausible English equivalent of the Greek word θυμός). Marco Rubio, continuing in the president’s rhetorical footsteps, has called us to reaffirm the better, more spirited angels of our nature. I like to think that this rousing tocsin will help awaken a salutary and clear-eyed spiritual revival.

In France And Britain, Multiculturalism Is Leading To Authoritarianism  The leaders of France and Britain are calling for censorship regimes because enforcing multiculturalism requires suppressing freedom.

Court Stops Illinois From Penalizing Catholic Hospitals That Refuse Assisted Suicide  Peter Breen, litigation head at the Thomas More Society, which represents Paprocki and others, said the firm would “keep fighting until that protection is permanent.”
    “Catholic and Christian health care providers, from hospitals and nursing homes to physicians, nurses, and therapists, strive to heal, not harm, and for generations, have cared for the sick and dying in keeping with their faith,” Breen said. He said the state has “no right or authority” to coerce them into helping patients kill themselves.

Proponents of MAID use words like “dignity” and “compassion” in its defense. But what about dignity in life? And true compassion for the living, via genuine care and treatment? In truth, MAID sounds like a cost-saving solution for the government, not care for its citizens.

A Christian teacher at a state school was fired after telling students that she was pro-life.
   Anita Meston, a 63-year-old history teacher at Biddick Academy in Sunderland, was dismissed in March after a pupil asked her for her opinion on the abortion debate.
   Hours later, Ms Meston was summoned to a meeting with the school’s headteacher, who admonished her for expressing personal views in the classroom and said that her contract would be terminated.

Those who believed were of one heart and soul...

Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common. And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold and laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need. -Acts 4:32-35 Image

Love—and the unity it attests to—is the mark Christ gave Christians to wear before the world. Only with this mark may the world know that Christians are indeed Christians and that Jesus was sent by the Father.  -Francis A. Schaeffer

Hatred of the Jews is nothing new.
Hatred of the Jews by American political candidates for major positions is new.
For example, ABC4 News of Washington, D.C. reported last week: “Chants of ‘From the river to the sea’ were heard at recent Cornell University Young Democratic Socialists of America events featuring Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) and left-wing Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, as new polling shows most registered voters view the Democratic Socialists of America unfavorably.” Image

While introducing the resolution, Williams explained how Sharia is practiced in various Muslim-majority countries. 
   "Sharia, as practiced by governments around the world, is more than a private devotion. It operates as a complete political and legal order," he said. "Where states enforce it, the record speaks for itself. In Iran, women have been beaten in jail for uncovering their hair. In Pakistan, blasphemy laws have sent people to prison and stirred mobs against them on a single person's accusation."
   Williams also discussed the treatment of women under some interpretations and applications of Sharia, saying a woman's testimony is worth half that of a man's, her inheritance is half that of her brothers, and her ability to work, marry or travel can depend on a male guardian.
   "It's not American," Williams said. "Compare that with what we hold as Americans and Texans. Every person stands equal before the law."

Conservative student says he was threatened after pressing El-Sayed on Iran  A conservative student at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor says he received threats and harassment after questioning Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed about his refusal to directly condemn Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
   Iman Dashti, a Persian American student and member of College Republicans, described the threats in an Instagram video following a Sept. 23 town hall confrontation with El-Sayed.

Whistleblower Mass Email Exposing Alleged Letitia James Corruption Acquired by ACLJ  Letitia James made it clear all along that targeting President Trump was her goal, no matter what, apparently even if it meant fabricating mortgage fraud charges, which is ironic given that AG James herself has been accused of mortgage fraud.
   As we’ve said repeatedly, Letitia James must be held accountable for her corrupt behavior. Image

The Nobel Peace Prize: An Exercise In Moral Depravity  Nearly twenty years on, nothing has changed. The Nobel Committee just awarded this year’s prize to former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, an antisemitic, anti-American globalist and terrorist apologist.

Enlighten us, O God, by your Spirit...

Enlighten us, O God, by your Spirit, in the understanding of your Word, and grant us the grace to receive it in true fear and humility, that we may learn to put our trust in you, to fear and honor you, by glorifying your Holy Name in all our life, and to yield you the love and obedience which faithful servants owe to their master and children to their fathers, seeing it has led you to call us to the number of your servants and children. -John Calvin Image

Hurricane Isaias live tracker: Major Category 3 storm strengthening before making landfall along Gulf Coast; evacuations ordered in Alabama and Florida   Hurricane Isaias is expected to bring heavy rain, damaging winds and life-threatening storm surge to the northern Gulf Coast when it makes landfall late Friday or early Saturday.
   According to the National Hurricane Center, Isaias is now Category 3 storm with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph, which forecasters consider a "major hurricane."

What was most surreal about the charges of "genocide" against Israel — along with all the other slurs of "settler-colonialism," "apartheid," "occupation," "war crimes" — was that they so often came from elite first- and second-generation Middle Eastern immigrants to America. Yet these prominent American accusers have remained silent about whether their lurid accusations might far better reflect the sordid histories of their own homelands.
   Take the Turkish-American anchor baby Hasan Piker, the millionaire podcaster who has dual citizenship and grew up in Turkey. Piker has gained celebrity as the socialist heartthrob who is the brain of the new Democratic/Socialist/Islamist alliance. Besides his antisemitic rants, he has declared that "America deserved 9/11" and "Oh God, I f-ing hate America so much."

In sum: 1) the number of deaths says there was no genocide; 2) there was no intent to commit genocide (quite the contrary); 3) the charge of genocide was used as a propaganda weapon before the war even began, not to mention in previous decades; and 4) much of the reporting from within Gaza was extremely biased, if not completely propagandistic.

It is time to stop the lies about Israel and genocide...

Three Years After Hamas’s October 7 Massacre, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani Hijacks the Day to Attack Israel   On Wednesday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani sparked outrage with a statement that opened with a brief nod to those killed in the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack but devoted most of its length to accusing Israel of genocide.

The European Warning: Why America Must Choose Sovereignty Over Surrender  Across Britain and France, central governments abandoned the most basic duty of the nation-state: the defense of sovereign borders. Decades of unchecked entry, lax law enforcement, and ideological cowardice fractured their historic urban centers. Public services buckle. Radical factions defy common law. Street violence surges while state bureaucrats police the speech of citizens rather than the crimes of perpetrators.
   American voters face this identical crossroads. The midterm ballot contains one decisive question: Will the United States defend its heritage of constitutional law and borders, or will it follow Europe into irreversible decline?
   Europe offers a real-time post-mortem of a civilization that surrendered its will to govern.

------------------Thought police-----------------

UK: Beware the thought police...They’re coming to get you…but only if you’re Christian  In recent months, Muslims kneeling down to pray in public – on streets, in the road, at railway stations, and even on the hard shoulder of motorways – have become increasingly evident, and nothing is done to stop them or ask them not to obstruct passers-by (or passing cars) … even when they are posing a clear obstruction. Yet a Christian woman, standing quietly with head bowed and eyes shut outside a closed abortion facility is arrested … because she’s known to hold pro-life views, and MIGHT BE PRAYING! SILENTLY!
   Heaven defend us from such depravity! And well done to the police for their brave, prompt and pre-emptive action, that clearly prevented what might well have turned into a very nasty incident!

New California law forces churches to provide 'hate speech' training  Pro-family advocates in California are warning that Golden State churches have a little more than a year until they will be forced to conduct “hate speech” training for their employees, with the term’s meaning left up to unelected bureaucrats to determine.

Trump Admin Investigating Nine Universities for Alleged Visa Fraud  So something weird is going on at these universities. They’re using these visas way too much. They’re using them to undercut the wages of American grad students and American researchers, and it simply has to stop.

Perhaps the most revealing aspect of GLP-1 therapy appears when treatment ends. In the STEP 1 extension, participants who discontinued semaglutide regained approximately two-thirds of their previous weight loss during the following year, while many cardiometabolic improvements moved back toward baseline. SURMOUNT-4 demonstrated a similar phenomenon with tirzepatide. After an initial 36-week period during which participants lost an average of 20.9 percent of their body weight, those randomized to discontinue tirzepatide and receive placebo regained substantial weight, whereas those who continued therapy maintained and further increased their weight reduction.

Guard me, O Lord...

Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men;
preserve me from violent men,
who plan evil things in their heart
and stir up wars continually.
They make their tongue sharp as a serpent's,
and under their lips is the venom of asps. Selah
Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
preserve me from violent men,
who have planned to trip up my feet.
-Psalm 140:1-4
 
To relinquish any of the Psalms on the excuse that its sentiments are too violent for a Christian is a clear sign that a person has also given up the very battle that a Christian is summoned...to fight. The Psalms are prayers for those who are engaged in an ongoing spiritual conflict. No one else need bother even opening the book.

United Suspends Pilot Ibrahim Mossallam Who Praised Oct. 7 ‘Resistance’ After Fellow Pilots Give Up First-Class Seats and Spend Entire Flight in Cockpit Watching Him  United Airlines has just suspended pilot Ibrahim R. Mossallam for a second time in connection with his social media posts praising the Oct. 7 “Resistance,” where Hamas slaughtered over 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped over 250 to boot. He had returned to flying Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft after only a brief removal from service nearly three years ago, and United has now removed him from the airline’s flight schedule through at least the end of October. The head-scratching part is why this guy was allowed to fly after his initial suspension and why he isn’t being fired – the Jihadist is under an ongoing review. United, do better.

Mamdani’s October 7th Anniversary Message Sparks Fury on Left and Right: ‘Shame On You’    Reactions came in from across the political spectrum. Rep.

   Six additional children linked to the couple were later located at other homes, bringing the total number of affected children to 21.
