God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong...

For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 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 1:26-31

Most Christians are affected far more than they know by the standards and methods of the surrounding world. In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the “weakness,” the “smallness of entry,” and the “slowness” of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.   -J.B.

Why John Stott’s ‘Christian Counter-Culture’ still challenges the church  The Message of the Sermon on the Mount by the evangelical pastor and scholar John Stott was fresh and challenging to re-read more than forty years after I first read it in 1984. This is despite the drastic changes in Western society since then and the triumph of wokery.  Image

-In this article published in American Thinker, I explained how a political scientist could run a simulation of an election to achieve a desired outcome.
-The political scientist could then throw away the actual votes in the election, run the simulation as the actual results, and the public would not know the difference.
-The only way the election fraud could be determined with certainty is if some genius figured out the algorithm the political scientist created to run the simulation.


Texas Flipped With Voter Turnout in Illegal Alien Counties  The numbers show that voter registrations went up sharply in some of the most foreign and illegal alien filled counties in Texas. How many of those voters, especially the ones sending in mail ballots, were legal? How many were American and how many were recent arrivals?

Scott Bessent Bans Migrants on Welfare from Sending Cash Back Home   The secretary is making his move as part of a crackdown on ⁠federal social benefits abuses in Minnesota, which includes audits by the Internal Revenue Service on some banks under suspicion of money laundering.
   Bessent has been concerned that money sent back to Somalia by the Somali community in Minnesota has ended up in the hands of the Muslim terror group al-Shabaab. Bessent has now suggested these funds — called remittances — should come under closer scrutiny.

Nation’s First Muslim Senator Abdul El-Sayed Vows to be Sworn In on Qur’an - Laughs at the 'Delicious Irony' that Vice President JD Vance Will Swear Him In   We will now basically have the Muslim Brotherhood in the US Senate. We already have Muslims in the House of Representatives. They are systematically invading every facet of American society and are morphing the country into an Islamic civilization by the process of pushing and bullying their way into power.

CAIR Lies. Islam Definitely Insists Its Religion Should Control Politics  A civilization serious about its liberty must understand the theocracy that seeks to govern it.

144 Nations Back Iran at the UN. Kick the UN Out of America The Trump administration should kick the United Nations out of America. They never end wars or prevent tragedies, all the UN members seem to do is bash Jews and Americans, reward terrorists and dictators, and justify egregious crimes.

Today we take on United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, who continues to make wild pronouncements about climate.

Greta Thunberg just exposed the fraud of her ‘moral authority’  Greta Thunberg just gave away what a fraud she’s always been, though her devoted fans may be too drunk on the Kool-Aid to see it.
   “Really!” she exclaimed of activists still engaged in the weekly protests that launched her fame — “They still do that?” before dissolving into uncontrolled giggles.

Generation Piker: One in Five College Students Think America Deserved 9/11  According to a new survey, 22 percent of American undergraduates believe the United States deserved the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and 42 percent prefer socialism over capitalism. The findings suggest the emergence of what might be called Generation Piker, a leftist cohort whose political attitudes increasingly overlap with those promoted by socialist streamer Hasan Piker and organizations such as the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

Microsoft Outlook returns for some as millions of users face second day of outages  Microsoft's suite of workplace products — including its Outlook email service and Copilot AI assistant — returned for some users Friday morning as a global outage dragged into its second day, hampering everyday operations for major businesses and millions of users worldwide.

Back To The Fax Machine: Microsoft's Meltdown Exposes The Agentic Economy's Weakest Link    Traders reached for fax machines, Japan's finance ministry pinned paper notices to the wall, and the AI assistants meant to automate the office went dark right along with the inbox.
