“The U.S. Air Force then set up a landing strip near the city. There, two U.S. transport planes became stuck and were demolished in place so as not to fall into Iranian hands. But those on the Left who are inclined to caterwaul about the expense of the operation might want to shut their lousy soup coolers — lest we remind them that Joe Biden abandoned some $7 billion worth of American military equipment and the superbly strategic Bagram Air Base when he high-tailed it out of Afghanistan.”
(Douglas Andrews – Patriot Post)
What no one knew was the Taliban had some sort of bunker back there, and as the MH-47 tilted back for the insert and the ropes fell away for the climb-down, the Taliban fired a rocket-propelled grenade straight through the open ramp.
It shot clean past the heads of the lead group and blew with a shattering blast against the fuel tanks, turning the helo into an inferno, stern and midships. Several of the guys were blown out and fell, some of them burning, to their deaths, from around 30 feet. …
The helicopter pilot fought for control, unaware of the carnage behind him but certainly aware of the raging fires around and above him. Of course, there was nothing he could do. The big MH-47 just fell out of the sky and crashed with thunderous impact onto the mountainside, swayed, and then rolled with brutal force over and over, smashing itself to pieces on a long 200-yard downward trail to extinction.

(Rusty Rabon – The Fellowship of Ailbe) Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which was brought upon me, which the Lord inflicted on the day of his fierce anger.
“God always had a plan. On the third day, He rose, He defeated evil, He conquered death, Hell and the grave. And because He rose, we all know that we can rise. And, sir, because of His resurrection, you rose up. Because He was victorious, you were victorious.”
(Jeff Charles – Townhall) Attorney General Pam Bondi has reportedly been fired.
Mike Riccardi of The Cripplegate lays out some of the problems that can result from trying to mix oil with water, as you will see in the case of trying to mix liberalism and historic orthodox Christianity. The result is that the Person and work of Jesus Christ has been compromised for the sake of unity. And what we now have is a liberal/progressive “
(Don & Joy Veinot – Midwest Christian Outreach) The celebration of the resurrection of Jesus will take place for many this Sunday. For most people these days, it is more-or-less a cultural event. I don’t necessarily mean they deny that the resurrection happened, but that they believe it based on their family and church affiliations, rather than as a result of their own serious consideration of the issue. Sometimes those who do contemplate and ask the hard questions are simply told to accept the claims of the celebration “by faith.” Faith then becomes little more than a blind leap of faith or a wistful hope. But faith is not supposed to be a “blind leap.” It really is a step taken based on what we know from the past to be true. We have faith the “sun will rise” tomorrow, based on it having done so every day in the past…. 
“The argument proceeds as follows: The greatest good is knowing God through Christ (
“The people at the top built a culture of non-stop political hate, creative slop, and audience disrespect, and now the people underneath are paying for all that. And the reality now is that we could be watching the end of Hollywood.”
(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) Easter evokes images of decorative baskets filled with all sorts of goodies, cool new clothes, church services, the annual Easter egg hunt, families and friends gathering together to enjoy a sumptuous meal. Doesn’t it seem a bit odd that people will spend an entire day celebrating a make-believe rabbit?
UPDATE to the story that the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk may not have come from the Robinson rifle. Tyler Robinson is the man accused of murdering Charlie Kirk. He has admitted to killing him. Click on the link below to read Mary Dowling’s report. The new information seeks to debunk the claim that the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk doesn’t match the alleged murder weapon. The truth appears to be that the bullet was so fragmented it couldn’t be tested.
“When it comes to treating gender dysphoria, so-called conversion therapy simply means helping a person — particularly a child — accept the body that God gave him rather than attempting the impossible feat of altering biological sex.” 
(John MacArthur – Sermon topic, What Is Sin) We alone…as Christians who understand the Bible and believe the Bible, we get it. We got all these people trying — all the politicians, and all the moralists, and all the educators and all the university people and all the sociologists and everybody — trying to fix society. And it can’t ever be done by these people, because they don’t ever deal with the reality of what is in the heart. All humanity, all humanity — nobody escapes — has a vile, rebellious, corrupt nature. The thought life is corrupt; the emotions are corrupt; the will is corrupt; and the behavior is corrupt. And Genesis 3 is crucial to understanding that…
“Republicans have consistently slammed Sen. Thune for failing to advance President Trump’s legislative priorities. That includes not only his inability to secure funding for immigration authorities, but also his failure to pass the SAVE Act, which proponents say is a necessary step to protect elections in the United States.”
“He then suggested that the concept of aliens was a human attempt to explain the unexplainable, saying that he believes it’s a different force behind the phenomena. “I don’t think they’re aliens, I think they’re demons anyway, but that’s a longer discussion,” Vance said, prompting Johnson to seek clarification.”
(Jonathan Landry Cruse – Beautiful Christian Life) To understand the importance of the statement “faith alone,” we need to remember why the Reformers sought to recover the doctrine of God’s grace. They wanted to emphasize the fact that we are made right with God not through any merit of our own but rather through God’s own free grace. In Christ, we receive unmerited favor from God.
“Even just in the last 10 yrs, I see ministries like Ligonier retreating into the background. In my own denominations we have a variety of ministries, like Theopolis and Canon Press, as well as a variety of podcasts. All these things can be a great supplement to local ministries. We need theological and cultural commentary, we need conversation between pastors.”
(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) Sadly, “Christian” book sellers line their shelves with books that are clearly unbiblical. Books that put a positive spin on 
“On X, Feucht tagged Christian apologist Mike Winger and journalist Julie Roys, accusing them of being complicit in his being targeted by Hindu extremists and Muslim radicals because of their criticism of him.”
“Blame secular humanism, blame feminism; whatever the cause, if we want to see our nation return to its Christian heritage, we need to address how we educate our future citizens….”

“Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” —
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Tucker Carlson is one of the most controversial men in America and also one of the most influential. Few individuals have driven as many news cycles and conversations as he has. But with all of these things established, there is a pressing concern that Tucker Carlson, in waking up to Jewish influence in American politics, has softened his opposition to Islam. There is an ongoing debate as to whether Christians and Muslims can or should form a political alliance, and Carlson has certainly interviewed people who believe its possible. But where does Tucker Carlson stand on the issue?
