Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life...

Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? -Matthew 6:25-27

In laying off your burdens, therefore, the first one you must get rid of is yourself. You must hand yourself and all your inward experience, your temptations, your temperament, your frames and feelings, all over into the care and keeping of your God, and leave them there. He made you and therefore He understands you and knows how to manage you, and you must trust Him to do it. -Hannah Whitall Smith

US Space Force Confirms It Has Weapons in Orbit. Here's What They Could Include The United States has publicly acknowledged for the first time that it has weapons orbiting Earth, ending years of official caution about describing American satellites as weapons and raising new questions about how a conflict in space would be fought and constrained.

Veterans of the GWOT “saw things with our own eyes that are hard for others to believe”  Have you noticed that the community that is most vocal in warning about the Islamification of the USA is the GWOT veterans’ community?
   That’s because we saw things with our own eyes that are hard for others to believe...

Mamdani Taps ‘Gay Communist’ for Senior Government Role: New Adviser Called for ‘Abolition of Police’ and ‘Undoing Capitalism,’ Condemned Gandhi as ‘Anti-Black Misogynist’  Afridi is only the latest in a string of oddballs, cranks, antisemites, and Lulu Lenins named into Mamdani’s orbit during his time as mayor.
   Mamdani's chief lawyer, Ramzi Kassem, previously represented al Qaeda. Mamdani's Brooklyn borough director, Álvaro López, called people ripping down flyers of Israeli hostages "heroes." Another hire, Drashti Brahmbhatt, has made extensive social media commentary over her hatred of white women. Mamdani's political guru, Morris Katz, attempted to include pictures of his own penis in a children's book about puberty. Mamdani's advance man, Mathis E. Roy Vigne, has made a name for himself by complaining about the quality of first-class airline travel on social media.

Karen Bass Feels Heat From Feds Over Millions in Stolen and Laundered ‘Homeless’ Funds  The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) laundered more than $75 million for charlatans, cheaters, and thieves, at least one of whom used more than $1 million of the more than $110 million in homeless funds he received to open a nightclub.
   And it's no wonder that Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who's running for reelection, smelled trouble and quit her membership in and control over LAHSA before the feds announced indictments on Wednesday.

Texas police department shut down for failing to provide ‘public benefit’ after arresting mom over dirty water Facebook post  The investigation into the department was triggered after Jennifer Combs was arrested for felony false alarm or report and tossed in jail for a night in May following a Facebook post alleging that bacteria in Trinidad’s water pipes had hospitalized residents.

Village Votes to Secede from Britain in Protest of Migrant Camp 10x Bigger than Local Population   The symbolic vote — self-called independence referenda have no legal weight in the United Kingdom — is in response to the government’s revived plan to convert a former British Army garrison next to the village, Ordnance Depot Bicester, into a camp for newly-arrived self-professed refugees and other migrants. Officially, the camp would be for 1,256 male arrivals, but recently unearthed government planning documents state that capacity has at times been considered as high as 3,500, ten times the population of Piddington. Image

If someone who objects to the alleged gang rape of minors must reveal their faces, why should people who object to these objections be allowed to cover theirs? Why should ‘pro-Palestine’ marchers, or indeed Muslim women in the UK, be allowed to disguise themselves? It used to be that either the law applies to everybody or it applies to nobody. But so far as I can work out, our laws are now contingent on a person’s identity.

Feminism is Imploding...The collapse of the most corrosive ideology known to man–and woman–has begun For more than half a century – or more than a full century, depending on where one marks it – feminism was the tip of the spear of the cultural Marxist assault on Western civilization. In pursuit of Karl Marx’s explicit aim of the abolition of the family, feminism has wrought: the emasculation of our culture; the breakdown of the nuclear family, which has exacerbated and accelerated a breakdown of social order; and the genocide of untold millions of the unborn. It has put women in political power who have facilitated anti-white racism and the Islamization of the West. It has severed the sacred bond of mother and child, and driven the plunge of birth rates that is threatening the future of our civilization. It has poisoned, arguably irrevocably, male-female relationships and driven a generation or two of young men into a precariously reactionary resistance to committed relationships. It has created a literal psychosis among generations of women who have rejected their own nature and filled the baby-shaped holes in their lives with a hollow careerism and fanatical activism.

How sweet are your words to my taste...

      How sweet are your words to my taste,
    sweeter than honey to my mouth!
    Through your precepts I get understanding;
    therefore I hate every false way.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
    and a light to my path.
  -Psalm 119:103-105

There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful than that of a continual walk with God. Those only can comprehend it who practice and experience it; yet I do not advise you to do it from that motive.  -Brother Lawrence

In Massachusetts, Triple Murder Becomes a Women’s Rights Cause Depression is not a license. Exhaustion is not a license. Childbirth is not a license. Being a woman is not a license. A defendant who can send her husband out of the house, complete the act three times in succession, and later offer a diagnosis is not automatically a person who could not tell right from wrong. Juries are allowed to tell the difference between a break with reality and a theory offered after the bodies are found.

Leftists’ masks are coming all the way off — revealing the ugly truth   Nowhere in America is open racial hate as common as among the far leftists who dominate the Democratic Party.
  And sometimes the hate is purely political —  the type that leads people like Shelly Headen, a Democratic candidate for North Carolina’s state legislature, to post a picture of herself in front of the ovens at the Dachau concentration camp and caption it, “This is where Trump supporters belong.”

Dem Governor Hochul Pardons Migrant Felon to Stop His Deportation Mariano was convicted of second-degree assault in 2015 and detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in 2020 for his criminal record. He served time in prison and was marked for deportation. However, the Democrat governor’s pardon erased Mariano’s criminal record, nullifying the Supreme Court case and potentially protecting him from deportation.

Settlement prompts change at CA school district: allows opting out of LGBTQ+ related material  In May 2024, a fifth-grade teacher at La Costa Heights Elementary School in Encinitas, California, read a book titled My Shadow is Pink, which is about a little boy’s gender identity. The book talks about how the boy sees his shadow as pink. The boy then wears a dress to school, and his father then changes his own beliefs and also puts on a dress.

Sharia Ruling Would Put Islamic Clerics in Charge of U.S. Government  And shows the contempt Islamic groups have for the politicians they bribe.

Feds Arrest Would-Be ISIS Mass Shooter in Butler County, Pa.  In a statement, the DOJ said, “FBI agents interdicted Kramer this weekend as he returned to a hotel in possession of three 30-round capacity rifle magazines and five boxes of rifle ammunition. The FBI then executed search warrants, seized a semiautomatic rifle and ammunition from his hotel room, and arrested him.”

Canadian Christian doctor fined $28k for refusing to give ‘trans’ teen a puberty blocker  The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal ordered a Christian family doctor to pay $28,100 after declining to inject a trans-identifying 14-year-old with a hormone blocker because “doing so would go against his religious beliefs.”
   “Dr. Henry Ajaero, who has run a family practice in Delta since 2014, was ordered to pay the compensation in a Sept. 1 B.C. Human Rights decision, which found his conduct was discriminatory,” the CBC reported. In March 2021, he was asked to inject Lupron and stated that “he did not feel comfortable administering it” due to his religious beliefs and “because it is outside the scope of his practice.”

Who’s Orchestrating The AI-Hysteria Campaign?  We’re not conspiracy mongers here, but it sure looks as though big AI companies have teamed up with Democrats and the mainstream media, probably with an assist from Chinese interests, to embark on a textbook anti-competitive regulatory push.
   And they didn’t need AI to dream up this plan.

The redeemed soul possesses all things in Christ...

God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.  And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”    -1 Corinthians 1:28-31 Image

The redeemed soul possesses all things in Christ. He is a complete Savior. He lacks nothing. Having Him we are saved to the uttermost; without Him we are utterly lost and undone.  -Abraham Kuyper

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

We have fallen into the bad and unquestioned habit of thinking that our educational system is broken, but it is working on all cylinders. What our educational system aims to produce is cultural amnesia, a wholesale lack of curiosity, history-less free agents, and educational goals composed of content-free processes and unexamined buzz-words like “critical thinking,” “diversity,” “ways of knowing,” “social justice,” and “cultural competence.”
   Our students are the achievement of a systemic commitment to producing individuals without a past for whom the future is a foreign country, cultureless ciphers who can live anywhere and perform any kind of work without inquiring about its purposes or ends, perfected tools for an economic system that prizes “flexibility” (geographic, interpersonal, ethical). Excellent!

Vance: Over 870,000 Alleged COVID Fraudsters Banned From Federal Loans  “People who decided to steal from the American taxpayer, stole money that was supposed to go to small businesses and American workers. Well, we think it makes sense that if you were caught stealing from the American taxpayer, you shouldn’t be able to benefit from these loans anymore.”

Trump Admin Invokes Law to Boot Welfare-Reliant Foreigners. Mamdani Is Furious  The Feds are trying to deny or revoke visas and green cards for aliens who are on welfare, because if the aliens can’t support themselves and just expect us citizens to support them, why the heck should we have them here? Immigrants like my ancestors used to come to America looking for jobs and better work opportunities, but now it seems as if many of them come just for freebies. And Democrats rely on foreigners for cheap labor and election fraud, plus they also hate any restriction on the redistribution of wealth because that is how they keep people dependent on the government.

Trump DOJ completes nationwide crackdown on in-state tuition for illegal immigrants  “This is a simple matter of federal law: colleges cannot provide benefits to illegal aliens that they do not provide to U.S. citizens,” Shumate said. “This Department of Justice will not tolerate American students being treated like second-class citizens in their own country.”

Democrats now insist that importing welfare recipients is the American dream  Mayor Zohran Mamdani and state Attorney General Tish James are fighting to let noncitizen immigrants soak up every possible dime of welfare with no risk to their visa status because . . . well, because.
   The deranged duo is joining 21 other state AGs in suing the Trump administration for tightening up the “public charge” rules that require new Americans to stand on their own two feet.

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

U.S. Supreme Court to rule on home Bible studies, as local officials weaponize against gatherings  The American Center for Law and Justice has fought this battle several times: Can a government forbid a home-based Bible study because it is in a home, or because of the number of people attending, or another reason?
   And when a government successfully defeats a plan to have in-home worship, can it escape liability simply by claiming it never, really, finally, issued a rejection notice?
   That's the question pending now before the U.S. Supreme Court. Image

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

State Seizes Girl After Catholic Parents Refuse To Call Her A Boy   The Kutzkos are still in court. A school started a secret social transition. The state took the girl, isolated her from her faith, and now wants to inject testosterone. That is not safeguarding. It is the state substituting itself for the family.
   Any district that hides name and pronoun changes from parents should lose federal dollars until the policy is reversed. Parents - not counselors, not DCF, not activist charities - direct the upbringing of their children.

Talarico Called NOT ‘Gender Transitioning’ Kids ‘Abusive,’ Possible Grounds to Lose Custody  He even suggested authorities could officially label it child abuse, which would mean depriving parents of custody.

Another Male Inmate Is Abusing Women in Minnesota Prisons. Will Authorities Do Anything About It?  Now in Minnesota, another man named Daniel Benz is abusing women in prison, including exposing himself and writing "poetry" about rape. Those women fear reporting him because they worry prison staff will retaliate against them.

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

A disabled 2-year-old child has been euthanized in the Netherlands, even though the toddler was not dying. But that didn’t stop Dutch officials from confirming that everything was done legally.
   A Dutch review committee has concluded that a doctor acted with due care in the country’s first euthanasia of a child under 12: a nearly 2-year-old with severe disabilities whose life was ended late last year.
   The child was almost 24 months old and could not communicate. The child did not — and could not — ask to die.

Do not be conformed to this world...

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. -Romans 12:1-2 Image

Faith is a work of God in us, which changes us and brings us to birth anew from God. It kills the old Adam, makes us completely different people in heart, mind, senses, and all our powers, and brings the Holy Spirit with it.   -Martin Luther

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

From Homeland computer breaches to pathogen smuggling, the China threat is blinking red  After years of muted response under former President Joe Biden, China’s aggressive and malign activities against the United States are being exposed at a rapid pace by the Trump administration, even as Beijing’s Communist leader prepares to visit Washington.



------------------Demoncrats-----------------

Bring back the ovens, says Democrat candidate Shelly Headen Shelly Headen is running for North Carolina House of Representatives District 62. She believes that Trump supporters belong in Dachau’s crematoria, like Jews during WWII. She posed in front of a backdrop of the actual ovens. Shelly was smiling. Image
...and...

Democrat Compares Herself To Jesus, MLK After Wishing Death On Trump Supporters  Headen, who is running to unseat Republican John Blust, then compared herself to Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King Jr., and Abraham Lincoln, suggesting that she was a martyr for the Democratic cause.
   “I’ve sacrificed myself just like Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross, and Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln and all the people that put themselves out there to sacrifice for our country,” she said. “If a few angry moments on social media are the end, then so be it. MAGA will keep winning if we continue with not standing up for what’s right.”

What Happens When We Elect People Who Hate America to Congress? This.  Yeah, elections sure do have consequences. Given the moribund state of the Republican Party in New York City, two socialists, Darializa Avila-Chevalier and Claire Valdez, are virtually certain to enter the House of Representatives next January, and they’re already excitedly making plans for the damage they’re going to do to the nation’s largest city, and the nation as a whole, once they get there.

Protester Carrying Palestinian Flag Disrupts 9/11 Memorial Game at Yankee Stadium, Tackled on Field  Ran onto field at 9:11 p.m. on 9/11. “Fans tossed drinks at the protester, who was kicking at the security guards as they carried him off the field.”

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

Why is the display of our national flags on lamp posts ‘intimidating’, but the hoisting of the Pakistan standard over an ancient fortress not so?

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

What This Clancy Juror Admitted to Is the Worst Revelation Yet  There's no dressing that up. Devlin just admitted she came into the Clancy trial with an agenda, and that's far worse than anything she's accused the holdout of doing.

Colleges reject Christian, GOP clubs despite First Amendment obligations, free speech promises  State University of New York campus sued for requiring student ministries to make leadership eligible to non-Christians. Whitman College faces legal threat for student government's ideological demands on GOP club.

California high school grads score 4.0 GPAs but can’t do basic math, professors say  The number of college applicants reporting flawless GPAs of 4.0 or higher has doubled over the past decade even as state testing shows a post-pandemic plunge in reading and math comprehension — revealing a grade-inflation crisis that’s sending students who can’t even do fractions into top universities.

You crown the year with your bounty...

You crown the year with your bounty;
    your wagon tracks overflow with abundance.
The pastures of the wilderness overflow,
    the hills gird themselves with joy,
the meadows clothe themselves with flocks,
    the valleys deck themselves with grain,
    they shout and sing together for joy.
   -Psalm 65:11-13

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

The attack that morning was fueled by hate — hatred of this country and of Americans and of the way we live, by men who had fed on a hateful ideology until it festered in them. They spent their final seconds loving their hate. Almost everybody else spent their final seconds loving something real. They loved the people they were about to leave and said so on the phone. They loved the people they were carrying down the stairs. They loved the strangers blinded by debris and lost in the stairwells whose names they would never learn. Hate started the day. Love won the day. And time renders that to memory and history. Image


Kathy Hochul Ditches Ground Zero Ceremony for Pow-Wow With CNN and Wolf Blitzer  Not to be outdone, New York Governor Kathy Hochul also had to disgrace the memorials at Ground Zero. She attended for the photo op, of course, but as those victims' names were being read, she suddenly remembered that she had better things to do. 
   In her case, that meant a CNN interview with Wolf Blitzer.

Rising Anxiety Over Sharia Law’s Growing Influence in America, Echoing 9/11 Concerns and Skepticisms In recent discussions surrounding national security and the implications of Islamic law, one voice stands out with a troubling observation: the United States may be in a precarious position reminiscent of the days leading up to September 11, 2001.

Ex-Muslim Warns Islam’s Threat Is Much More Than Terrorism  Dan Burmawi remembers being a teenager in Jordan back when he was still a Muslim, excitedly celebrating the 9/11 attacks with his family. Muslims around the world did the same. After all, Islam is not just a religion; it is essentially a political state with ever-shifting borders, and while the different nations and factions of Islam will fight with each other, they still perceive any successful Muslim attack on Western civilization as a victory for all of them. Now Burmawi is Christian, but he is watching the same ideology from which he broke free take over Western nations.

Virginia School Bans Teachers From Blaming Islamists for 9/11  A prominent Virginia school district is facing criticism for guidance instructing teachers not to associate the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks with Islam or Muslims — prompting a retired Navy vice admiral who survived the attack on the Pentagon to accuse educators of watering down history.

Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God...

Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. -2 Corinthian 3:4-6

A satisfying prayer life...elevates and purifies every act of body and mind and integrates the entire personality into a single spiritual unit. Such prayer can only be the result of a life lived in the Spirit...
In the long pull we pray only as well as we live.  -A.W. Tozer

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

The terrorists did not strike America merely because of particular buildings or policies. They attacked a civilization built around principles rooted in Christian teachings that they despised: individual liberty, religious freedom, freedom of expression, self-government, and the right of ordinary people to determine the course of their own lives.
   The final answer to September 11, then, cannot be a memorial alone. It must be a country that still believes those principles are worth defending. It must be a people confident enough in their civilization to still distinguish good from evil.
   Twenty-five years later, never forget those we lost. Never forget the evil that took them from us. And never forget the enduring duty to seek out and destroy that evil wherever it may appear.

Imagine if you had told someone on 11 September 2001 that in 25 years’ time the streets of New York City would ring out with sympathy for Islamofascism. Imagine if you had said to one of the startled souls watching American lives be incinerated by Islamist filth that one day the West would swarm with youths cosplaying as Islamist filth. Imagine if you had said that in a mere quarter of a century even our leafiest campuses would be awash with jihad chic, with silver-spoon students gushing over an Islamo-army (Hamas) every bit as hateful and medieval as the one that burnt New Yorkers alive.

If 9/11 happened today, How would the West respond?  Twenty-five years on, if the 9/11 terrorist attack by al-Qaeda happened today, the response in Australia and countries such as the United Kingdom would be a master-class in institutional cowardice. Through the mind-warping phenomenon of moral manoeuvrability, the attack would turn terrorists into victims and victims into oppressors, spawning a new generation of activists, sympathisers and supporters. We would be told it is us, not them.

On The 25th Anniversary Of 9/11 New York City Is A Completely Different Place  New York City is being radically transformed right in front of our eyes, and that is a national tragedy.
   25 years ago, it was such a great city.
   But now it is suffering the same fate that Paris, London and so many other once great western cities are suffering, and that is extremely unfortunate.

Mothers for Moloch:  Welcome to the Clancy death cult  This is a full-blown mass psychosis. Turning infanticide / filicide into a progressive cause célèbre is not advocacy; it is the ultimate devolution of human sanity. Far from being a forensic fandom driven by evidence, this movement is just another excuse for miserable women to bond over their shared contempt for reality. In any sane world, a mother who commits such a heinous crime would be locked away for life, where the general prison population would gladly handle her re-education. But in the upside-down, victim-obsessed world of modern liberal activism, evil is excused, accountability is erased, and a suburban mom child killer gets her very own fan club.

Lefty Michigan congressional hopeful called for redistributing ‘all the land and all the money’   Michigan Democratic congressional candidate William Lawrence said during a 2024 podcast appearance that it would be “just” to “redistribute all the land and all the money” as well as inaugurate a “world without borders”
   Lawrence, who recently ditched his Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) membership as he competes in a critical swing district, now insists he no longer believes in those radical objectives.

"How vast are the possibilities of prayer!

"How vast are the possibilities of prayer! How wide is its reach! What great things are accomplished by this divinely appointed means of grace! It lays its hand on Almighty God and moves Him to do what He would not otherwise do if prayer was not offered. It brings things to pass which would never otherwise occur. The story of prayer is the story of great achievements. Prayer is a wonderful power placed by Almighty God in the hands of His saints, which may be used to accomplish great purposes and to achieve unusual results. Prayer reaches to everything, takes in all things great and small which are promised by God to the children of men. The only limits to prayer are the promises of God and His ability to fulfill those promises. 'Open thy mouth wide and I will fill it.'"

A Death Wish Dressed as Progress...The West, the Churches, and the Faith Betrayed  Muggeridge saw it. Solzhenitsyn named it. Melanie Phillips is living it. Os Guinness traced it to the root. And the churches, God help us, have joined the demolition crew.

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

Although the mainstream media actively works to suppress stories of illegal alien violent crime, the numbers are horrific. Murders, assaults, rapes, and road carnage caused by illegals are devasting. The exact numbers are impossible to obtain, in large part because most Democratic Party-controlled states and municipalities put restrictions on collecting and/or disseminating such data. In addition, their sanctuary policies work against cooperation with the federal government.

Consequently, compassion achieves its highest purpose whenever it remembers who human beings actually are. We are bearers of the divine image and therefore worthy of profound love. Yet we are also sinners capable of profound folly. Christian faith embraces both realities with startling honesty. Public policy should learn the same lesson because every successful society must finally discover that grace perfects nature only when that society comes to understand human nature. Compassion guided by truth therefore accomplishes far more than compassion guided merely by emotive enthusiasm. Genuine love always seeks the lasting good of another rather than the comforting illusion that generous intentions and good feelings alone can save our fallen world.

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

There may be other forces at work in the brains of those who pity Lindsay Clancy, a child-killer without a political agenda. Yet it’s hard to avoid comparing her apologists with Luigi Mangione’s left-wing admirers. Mangione became a folk hero to anti-capitalist radicals after he killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024. Clancy’s case lacks the overt ideological angle, but emotions run deeper than ideas. Mangione and Clancy have both benefited from a warped sense of sympathy for the underdog and greater identification with the killers’ plight than with that of the victims. It’s been argued that this is a projection of “Main Character Syndrome,” the narcissistic belief of many people, in this age of social media, that the whole world is nothing but a film in which they are the star.
