“Many evangelicals now understand that power isn’t a dirty word. The question is merely who will wield it, in whose name, and to what purpose. If power is shifting in a direction more aligned with biblical justice and virtue, then the time to act is now. Pursuing power and influence should not be eschewed by the righteous, but rather encouraged (“When the righteous increases, the people rejoice”).”
(David Harris – TruthScript) In a predictable yet profoundly incriminating act, President Biden bookended his record-breaking number of presidential pardons by including General Mark Milley, Dr. Anthony Faucci, and the congressional members of the J6 committee [and many Biden family members]. More than any other bureaucratic figureheads, these men and women represent the absolute departure from justice, truth, common sense, and sanity that the last four years were. If the Biden presidency could be described in one scripture, it would be Proverbs 29:2, When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when a wicked man rules, people groan. Continue reading
“This is the rot at the heart of the so-called “pastorpreneur” phenomenon. These men—and, increasingly, women—have bartered their pulpits for stages, their organs for smoke machines and rock bands, and worst of all, their Bibles for TED Talks.”
TRUMP RESPONDS TO SERMON BY WOKE BISHOP: “Mr. President, what did you think of the sermon?” “What did you think? Did you find it exciting? Was not too exciting, was it?”
(Revolver) Promises made, promises kept. It’s a phrase MAGA is familiar with, thanks to President Trump’s first term, when he did everything in his power to deliver on the promises he made to his supporters. Compare that to the average politician, who lies through their teeth just to get elected and forgets their promises the moment they win. Both parties are famous for this, but Dems have made it an art form—especially when it comes to their black voters, who only seem to matter every four years or so.
“In this leaked email, Olasky is crowdsourcing sob stories about raids and deportations. The goal would be to make voters uncomfortable with what they voted for.”
“One of the recipients of the pardons — California Sen. Adam Schiff — is on record as saying that innocent people don’t need preemptive pardons…For the record, this is the first time I’ve ever agreed with Schiff.” 
(Rusty Weiss – Red State) President Donald Trump, as 
“I felt then, and believe even more so now, that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again.”
“They wouldn’t let me meet with him, and his staff kept giving me excuses. This went on for like eight or nine weeks, “I’m sorry Mr. Speaker, he doesn’t have time.” What are you talking about? I’m second in line to the presidency, he has time. I need to talk to him.”
(Chris Queen – PJ Media) In one of the most unprecedented moves in presidential history, Joe Biden pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, and others on Donald Trump’s alleged “enemies list” on his way out the door of the Oval Office.
One of the most beneficial things I learned from my professors during my seminary days was that ministers must continually preach the message of the cross to the people of God for their growth in grace. One professor in particular constantly exhorted us to preach Christ “for pardon and power.” The longer I am a Christian, the more clearly I see the wisdom of this counsel. The message of the cross meets our deepest need for pardon and power as we seek to overcome indwelling sin. 
“When you claim to represent the eternal and holy God, your failures carry a weight that no financial guru or celebrity influencer could ever fathom. A scandal in the church isn’t just a lapse in judgment, it’s a betrayal of office on a cosmic scale.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) A new bombshell report has exposed the intricate behind-the-scenes maneuvering that led to Joe Biden stepping down from the 2024 presidential race. While many assumed the tipping point was Biden’s poor performance during the June CNN debate against Donald Trump, it turns out that the groundwork to push Biden aside had been laid long before.
Bear in mind, I always find problems with the way Republicans do things; I’m just saying that the worst Republican in Congress is exponentially better than the best Democrat. Also, there is no “best Democrat.”
(Protestia) Jordan Peterson has finally said the words Christians have been clamoring for and praying for him for years to say, “Jesus is God,” but given how he understands such a phrase, it doesn’t mean anything.

Mannina further revealed that he was participating in a “huge meeting with military leaders; in a very secure room called ‘The Tank.’” The Tank is a nickname for the Joint Chiefs of Staff Conference room which is a (SCIF), a Compartmentalized Information Facility.
“Several former chiefs with deep experience in LAFD tactics said most of the more than 40 available engines could have been pre-deployed to fire zones before the Palisades blaze started, while others were kept at stations to help with the increase in 911 calls.”
(Breitbart) Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire deal, mediators announced Wednesday, pausing a devastating 15-month war in the Gaza Strip and raising the possibility of winding down the 
(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) A deeply antisemitic, pro-Hezbollah imam is set to give a benediction at Trump’s inauguration next Monday, and many Trump supporters who had been happy to see Trump’s repeated affirmations that he would support, not betray, America’s ally Israel are now scratching their heads. What’s going on? Was this just an oversight, a failure to vet the Dearborn Imam Husham al-Husainy properly? Or does it herald a real policy shift in the incoming Trump administration?
John Abatzoglou, a climatology professor from the University of California, has studied 30 years of wildfires in Los Angeles County. After examining the data, he was unequivocable: “More than 95% of these [California fires] are human-ignited fires.”
“Together with Obama’s red-line bluff on Syria’s chemical gas use, his backing down to Putin on the annexation of Crimea, Biden’s buffoonish Afghanistan withdrawal, and demonstrably counterproductive if not cynical efforts to undermine Israel’s successful campaign against the terrorists, has all left the Democrats looking weak and incompetent not just to voters but the world’s worst actors.”

“Newsom asked Biden, who was in the Oval Office sitting behind the Resolute Desk with Jill Biden and Kamala Harris in the room, to clamp down on the hard questions.”
‘The wildfires have laid bare a troubling mix of incompetence and corruption at both the state and local levels, with leaders more focused on self-preservation than addressing the crisis. Crowley’s fire department has faced sharp criticism for prioritizing DEI initiatives over essential readiness and preparedness, while Bass has been under fire for her leadership failures and controversial budget cuts.’
