But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray...

But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray. 

-Luke 5:16

Prayer has everything to do with moulding the soul into the image of God, and has everything to do with enhancing and enlarging the measure of Divine grace. It has everything to do with enriching, broadening and maturing the soul’s experience of God. That man cannot possibly be called a Christian, who does not pray.  -E.M. Bounds Image

How did it come to this? How is it our nation's voters are allowing it to be turned over to its socialist enemies  In summation, when did so many of us become timid, disengaged, deluded little amoral fools? The relatively few folks who do seem very engaged, activated, and angry … are engaged, activated, and angry at the even fewer folks who are trying to stop or limit the crime, fraud, and corruption. This is truly hard for a rational and moral person to comprehend.

   Did we somehow get placed in a bizarre parallel universe? Is this Dante's Inferno? It appears that we haven't slouched toward Gomorrah as much as we have raced towards it. Image

How Barack Obama’s Islamic Socialism Spawned Abdul El-Sayed And Zohran Mamdani  Obama’s Kenyan father and his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, were both Muslims. Obama spent much of his childhood in Indonesia, attended a mosque, and, at an impressionable age, was reportedly educated in a school that exposed him to Islamic teachings and traditions.

   Abdul El-Sayed was raised as a Muslim with Egyptian roots. Zohran Mamdani grew up in an interfaith household. His father, Mahmood Mamdani, was a Muslim. Mamdani has said that his Muslim identity was “politicized” after 9/11.

Hailing Satan at City Council Meetings 

Why would a community give center stage to an apostle of destruction? And yet, on an autumn night in Iowa, in the name of free speech, a man was permitted to stand in front of city council to pray to the chief agent of destruction -- whether you regard Satan as real or mythical.

   It reveals how unbuckled we are from time-honored American societal norms and, in the bigger picture, Western civilizational values and beliefs. Undergirding those norms are deeper Judeo-Christian convictions -- convictions that are directed at protecting and raising up life; prospering, not withering; building, not destroying.

Millions Are Fleeing Blue States, and It’s Not for the Sunshine 

It's the taxes, stupid. Florida, Tennessee, and Texas don’t tax wage income at the state level. California and New York, meanwhile, are near the top of the list of highest state income tax rates...

-It's the poor education and high crime, stupid...

-It's the inequality and uneven law enforcement, stupid...

-It's the affordability, stupid...

Blakeman’s blast: Here’s why upstate New York could send Hochul packing  Blakeman cited the depressing fact that New York ranks 50th out of the 50 states in economic outlook, per the “Rich States, Poor States” report: dead last. 

   Blame high taxes, over-regulation — and the governor’s distinctly hostile attitude toward business. 

   Hochul is crisscrossing the state with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the socialist jobs-killer who put the kibosh on an Amazon headquarters in Long Island City.

We Followed The World's Deadliest Migration Route-FULL DOCUMENTARY

Escape From Rotherham... It’s too late for Europeans to save their culture. But it’s not yet too late here There’s more.  As it turns out, it wasn’t just in Rotherham, or one area of Britain.  This was actually happening in most British towns everywhere at the same time.  The same M.O.  Gangs of mostly Pakistani men drugging, raping, and grooming an entire generation of underage British girls.  It’s hard to comprehend how widespread this was.  We learned recently that there were at least 250,000 young girls experiencing this horror show.  Jordan Peterson claimed it was likely greater than half a million and possibly as many as a million girls.  This is possibly the most horrific rape scandal of all time, anywhere.  And we’re now learning about similar happenings in most European countries.
