“Present-day central planners seek to rule over more than 8 billion people. Only now, instead of justifying empire-building under the guise of “spreading Christianity,” “Manifest Destiny” or “making the world safe for democracy,” they’re importing millions upon millions of people from poor nations to remediate “systemic racism,” produce “decolonization” or challenge the “patriarchy.” In the name of “climate change,” they demand control over agriculture, industry, transportation and finance. Nor are their powers limited to economics; they censor, silence, prosecute and even imprison those who question their motives, their data, their conclusions, their methods.”
(Laura Hollis – The Patriot Post) Years ago, I read a book by the historian Barbara Tuchman called “Bible and Sword: England and Palestine from the Bronze Age to Balfour.” It’s worth a read for anyone wondering about the origins of the present-day conflicts in the Middle East. Continue reading
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may approve what the will of God is, that which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2 (LSB) 
“Over the years, Lindsey has been a controversial figure, with some critics challenging his interpretations and predictions.” 
(Brooke Singman – Fox News) Nearly a dozen of President-elect Donald 
“It replaces the gospel with a false religion that offers no salvation, no forgiveness, and no hope. It exchanges the eternal truth of God’s Word for cultural zeitgeist. It preaches a false christ who doesn’t demand repentance, a God who doesn’t judge sin, and a gospel that doesn’t save. And the worst part? It does all of this in the name of love, as if leading people further into darkness could ever be loving.”
(Ed Morrissey – Hot Air) Three weeks ago, Donald Trump recorded a smashing victory over Kamala Harris, who ran mainly on two arguments. Mainly, she claimed that Trump had disqualified himself in the aftermath of the 2020 election and that everyone owed her their vote as a result. Secondly, Harris and Democrats pushed the idea that America needed its first woman-of-color president on the basis of identity alone — because Harris certainly never made any other case for herself during the campaign. 
(Sean McGowen – TruthScript) When most Americans think of the “First Thanksgiving,” they think of the Pilgrims in Plymouth who sat down for a Harvest Festival meal with the Wampanoag Indians in 1621. The Pilgrims had arrived on the Mayflower in November of 1620 and nearly a year later celebrated the abundance of provisions that God had provided. The Thanksgiving tradition recalls to memory Indians like Squanto (1580–1622) and Englishmen like William Bradford (1590–1657), who was elected governor in early 1621. Many American Christians love to quote the words of Governor Bradford in his “Thanksgiving Proclamation” made three years after the Pilgrims settled in Plymouth, where he proclaimed that all Pilgrim families were to gather on November 29, 1623, to hear from their minister and give thanks to Almighty God. Thus, when Americans think of Thanksgiving, they think of Massachusetts and the Pilgrims. 
(Newsmax) As President-elect Donald Trump nears inauguration for his second administration, he has announced several individuals for key positions. Among them are:
“You are now starting to see spots of messaging of how they plan to challenge the agenda of President-elect Trump. Last week, one-term House Member Wiley Nickel (D-NC-13), in what can only be described as a Democrat fever dream, proposed a “shadow cabinet” which appears to be either a desperate attempt to retain power or secure his place as a talking head on whatever is left of mainstream media.” 
“President Trump is willing and ready to deal a crushing blow to these two disloyal “allies” on our borders. Make no mistake, this move will crush both of their economies…”
(Sarah Anderson – PJ Media) Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have been making lots of new friends and enemies lately, as President-elect Donald Trump tapped the two businessmen to head the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). To the delight of conservatives and pro-life people around the country, the latest on that enemies list is none other than Planned Parenthood.
“Nearly four years hence, the FBI’s failure to identify the person who planted those pipe bombs at both the Democrat and Republican Party headquarters in one of the most heavily surveilled areas in the entire world, even though the bureau released video footage of the suspect sitting on a bench in front of the DNC while using his cellphone, is, shall we say, deeply mysterious.”
“If you have a pet, be reminded that your pet is a gift, and worship the Giver of that gift. If you have recently lost a pet… not only did God take your pet at His appointed time, but He did so for a particular reason. Praise the Lord for His kindness, in giving you an undeserved gift.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The Angel Studios distributed film, Bonhoeffer: Pastor Spy Assassin is being marketed as a faith-based film by several figures in rightwing media and Evangelicalism. Similar to Sound of Freedom, Angel Studios is trying to sell movie tickets that will not be realized to inflate the box office performance. But where Sound of Freedom tells a story highlighting the disgusting underbelly of human trafficking, Bonhoeffer is yet another WWII movie, but one that celebrates a teacher who lacked sound doctrine and practice. The movie is a romanticized version of the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and every clip Angel Studios has promoted features horrendous acting, cartoon villains, and cheesy inspirational dialog. This is a faith-based film more than a war film, like the Tom Cruise Valkyrie movie. But it’s worth noting including “assassin” in the title of the Bonhoeffer movie completely overstates his contribution to attempts on Adolf Hitler’s life. 
“Since its founding, Daystar has platformed the who’s who of prosperity heretics and false teachers, including Joyce Meyer, Sid Roth, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Jentezen Franklin, TD Jakes, Andrew Womack, Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Jim Bakker, and Paula White.”
1 Therefore I exhort you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a sacrifice—living, holy, and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may approve what the will of God is, that which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:1-2 (LSB) 
“The heavily redacted plan stated that the project would harvest fetuses from four weeks up until six months old from patients undergoing “elective surgical pregnancy termination” who are carrying viable, non-anomalous fetuses at Planned Parenthood.” 
(Mary Dowling) This is amazing testimony from Dr. Marty Makary, a surgeon and researcher at Johns Hopkins. He is a highly respected Johns Hopkins surgical Oncologist and Health Policy Expert. It confirms what Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been saying for years. He might become one of your favorites among Donald Trump’s nominees. He will make you a believer.
“MSNBC is in free fall, and to be honest, the best thing that could happen is for the network to be fire-sold with its denizens scattered to the four winds and forced to seek honest work. Either the reporters and writers have become such dead-eyed, slack-jawed, drool-faced acolytes of progressivism that they are hopelessly mired in their hatred for all things that lean right in any way that they cannot summon one ounce of compassion for Laken, her family, or anyone else who has suffered from crimes at the hands of illegals — or they are evil.” 
(Wendell Husebo – Breitbart) Perhaps the biggest losers of Matt Gaetz’s confirmation defeat are cabinet nominees Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard.
“…Christians may do well to remember that although we trust a sovereign God with every outcome in such times, we are still called to love the things that God loves and hate those things which God hates. This is not denying God’s sovereignty, it is the enthusiastic affirmation of that sovereignty.” 
“Given Pam Bondi’s close personal and professional relationship with Donald Trump, why wasn’t she his first choice? Since we’re having fun with the 4-D chess idea, we have to wonder if the plan always was to eventually have her be the nominee.” 
“Word on the street is that massive layoffs are looming over at CNN. But the real shocker is what’s happening behind the scenes at MSNBC and The View. According to Bill O’Reilly, there are some very sneaky moves underway to pull these shows off the air, as they continue to drag down NBC News and ABC News like anchors on a sinking ship.”
