“In our sin and sorrow, we default to wishlist thinking, but Jesus never did. We question our Father’s character and work—but Jesus trusted his Father unto death. We are weak, but Jesus obeyed in perfect strength. And those who look to him in faith are united with him in his righteousness. This is good news!…”
(Amy Tyson) I love Christmas. Glowing tree lights illuminate sentimental ornaments, candlelight glints on red berries—everything gauche and shiny and celebratory. Christmas books adorn the coffee table. My long-suffering family endures endless repetitions of “Carols from St. Paul’s Cathedral.” There’s meal planning, card sending, and gifts. Continue reading
“Eventually, even elite schools will lose their current veneer of prestige. Their costly cattle brands will be synonymous with equality-of-result, overpriced indoctrination echo chambers, where therapy replaced singular rigor and their tarnished degrees become irrelevant.” 
(Natalia Mittelstadt – Just the News) Election modeling expert Richard Baris said Thursday in the Kari Lake election lawsuit that his projections showed as many as 40,000 voters were disenfranchised over Election Day chaos in Arizona’s Maricopa County, causing him to “have no doubt” that she would’ve won the gubernatorial election had there been no problems at polling centers.
“Even ABC reporters are now risking being labelled “anti-vax” by speaking the truth. Of course, the ABC itself is wilfully ignoring it, even when one of its own staff is a victim.”
“So long as Mitch McConnell is the top elected Republican in D.C., eagerly trashing Republican voters, vociferously advocating for Democrat policy goals, pushing $1.7 trillion Democrat spending packages, and weakly fighting for whatever Republican goals he can be bothered to pursue, Republicans have a major problem. This is beyond obvious,” 
She implied that “those afflicted with homosexual urges should not feel any kind of conviction to repent and turn from their sin so long as they believe that they are ‘loved.’”
“The Republican senators who betrayed their own party include…”
“Mind you, left-wing sources can call conservatives racists and Nazis all day long. But if a dissident offers information that might “harm” Democrats or “manipulate” voters into not voting in the manner approved by the FBI, then the government needs to act to “protect” the election. This is exactly why the Hunter Biden laptop story was censored.”
(Justin Huffman) I was thinking this past week about cases where a person who has been a professed believer, maybe even a well-known Christian leader, falls into public sin or even apostasy, walking away from the Christian faith. Sadly, there have been many such cases in the news lately.
“After extensive historical analysis, here’s my conclusion: the country is changing fast, spurred on by personal division. We are back to the 1850s; there are two Americas now.”
“…just as extraordinary has been the decision by many major media organizations that what is happening on the border is no big deal. In particular, major television news networks, with the notable exception of Fox News, have virtually pretended that the crisis was not happening.” 
House Appropriations Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., bragged that the omnibus “fulfills 98% of Democratic member requests in the House, with $5.4 billion for 3,213 Democratic projects.”
“Customs and Border Patrol reported encountering a record number of 2.4 million migrants last fiscal year.”
“The public school system has been overtaken by and is used by progressive activists as a platform to promote liberal ideologies and viewpoints, which conflict with the values and beliefs we should be teaching our children at home.”
“The FBI worked relentlessly to influence journalists and social media executives.” 
“Fentanyl overdoses in Escambia County increased by 80% in 2021, killing nearly 300 people.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The mainstream media certainly won’t want to talk about this, but according to the FDA, Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine has been linked to blood clots in older people.
Such slanted coverage is clearly losing its hold on the public or its view of Twitter. Indeed, the media continues to write off a large percentage of readers and viewers with openly biased coverage. The public is not buying it. It is buying Twitter. Not only are users signing up in record numbers, but a recent poll shows a majority of Americans “support Elon Musk’s ongoing efforts to change Twitter to a more free and transparent platform.”
(The Dissenter) As many times as we’ve written about this circus in South Florida that calls itself a church for its lavish displays of secular paganism, nothing should surprise us anymore. But the fact that this entertainment venue continues to associate with the Southern Baptist Convention and the Southern Baptist Convention continues to fellowship with them, it’s worth pointing out that they are continuing to decline into absolute apostasy. 
(Anders Hangstrom – Fox News) Father Frank Pavone, a firebrand 
Taibbi revealed that former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth exchanged “over 150 emails” with the FBI between January 2020 to November 2022. Further, Taibbi noted that a “surprisingly high number” of the FBI’s correspondence with Twitter were “requests by the FBI for Twitter to take action on election misinformation, even involving joke tweets from low-follower accounts.”
