We are seeing Biden’s destruction of America

Eleven ways Biden and his handlers are hell-bent on destroying America

The following article at Fox News posted by Victor Davis Hanson outlines the eleven fronts of desctruction accomplished by the Biden regime against America.  I take up the first six.

Why are those controlling President Biden using him to advance so much of a destructive agenda that it will likely end America as we know it?

If someone wished to destroy America, could he do anything more catastrophic than what we currently see and hear each day?

What would an existential enemy do that we have not already done to ourselves?

Here are 11 now familiar steps to civilizational destruction:

  1. Wipe out a 2,000-mile border.

Allow 10 million foreign nationals to enter unlawfully. Have no audit of any; nullify all federal immigration laws. Let in toxic drugs that kill 100,000 Americans a year. Give free support to those millions who broke the law. Smear any objectors as racists and xenophobes.

  1. Run up $35 trillion in national debt.

Keep adding $1 trillion to it each 100 days. Defame anyone wishing to cut wild spending as cruel and inhumane.

  1. Appease or subsidize enemies like Iran and China.

Demonize allies like Israel. Allow terrorists to attack Americans without adequate response. See Islam as either similar or superior to Christianity. Make amends to leftist governments for supposedly past toxic American international behavior. Follow the lead of international agencies like the U.N., ICC and WHO to atone for past American neocolonial and imperialist behavior. Recede to second-tier international status, befitting American decline.

  1. In a multiracial democracy, redefine identity only as one’s tribal affiliation.

Ensure each identity group rivals the other for victimhood and the state spoils it confers. Reboot all political issues by race and sex oppressors and oppressed. Destroy all meritocratic standards of admission, retention, promotion and commendation.

  1. Recalibrate violent crime as understandable, cry-of-the-heart expressions of social justice.

Ensure no bail and same-day release for arrested, repeat violent felons. Empathize with the violent killer and rapist; ignore their victims, especially if they are slain police officers.

  1. Emasculate the military by using non-meritocratic standards of race, gender, and sexual orientation to determine promotion and commendation.

Deliberately impugn as racists and insurrectionists the largest demographic in the military who in recent wars died at twice their numbers in the population — so that they leave or never join the military. Encourage retired high officers to slander their commander-in-chief. Cut the defense budget. Stop producing sufficient weapons, but leave billions of dollars’ worth of arms to terrorists.

The thing is that this is not only seen from the vantage point of America. One Brazilian also sees it.

Oddly, at least as allowed by Google searches, nobody reported on the words of a young Brazilian politician Nikolas Ferreira who expressed his concerns of the influence of liberal trends in Brazil and the United States before the United Nations. Following is my transcription of the first half of his speech:

I was born in a poor neighborhood in my city, Bizon, Brazil. I am married. I am Christian. And we are expecting a daughter, Aura, who will be born in three months.

I became the most voted federal congressman in Brazil and I am here to warn you about what is happening in my country.

I apologize if I make any mistakes in my speech. I am still learning English.

The Left returned to power in the presidencies of Brazil ths year, but it has had the power of the universities, media, and culture for decades.

America is like a body and its health is like a tripod: patriotism, morality, and spirituality. If someone undermines these three areas, America will collapse from within. Stalin said this. They have known the secret for a long time and have used all possible means to achieve their goal of the destruction of the family. But you may wonder “Wouldn’t that be too radical of an idea? Does anyone really want to do this? And, after all, how would they do that?”

First, they destroy the sense of reality. There is no wrong. There is no right and wrong, no good or bad. Everything is relative. Why then, say that men exist? Why say women aren’t? Concepts get abolished.

Then they move to stage number two: the destruction of identity. If you are nothing, then everything can be everything. Therefore, they will destroy your identity as a person. Young people no longer know what or who they are and are carried away by any wind of doctrine and cling to what is fashionable. They tell you to dress like this and use this type of language and, finally, live like this. It is the generation most lacking in good references that have ever existed. (After all, the Left replaced Jesus with a Black Lives Matter activist and exchanged the Cross — which represents injustice against an innocent — for symbols that represent nothing other than the selfishness of activism itself.)

By the way, the rainbow is not yours, but ours. Read the Bible and you will find out.

Also, beauty no longer exists. The focus is on shocking — whether in fashion, music, films, and TV series — the important thing is to sell a culture that delivers everything you want (except meaning of life).

Slaves to their own will, a generation that cannot handle pain or confrontation (much less being told what is wrong), who exchange their parents advices for teachers who never carried them in their arms (who commit the strange actions of those who are dominating them) — these are too foolish to know they are being used and who uses them. Like those who campaign for abortion, but ignore that (75 years ago) the universal Declaration of Human Rights was published — which, in its third article states “everyone has the right to life.”

(Holding up a two-inch model of a unborn human.) This is a 12-week-old baby. His or her heart is already beating. It has a fingerprint. There is no one in the world like this baby.

We are additionally seeingthis destruction through the stories not reported by the main stream press

Michigan Democrats fail to condemn “Death to America” chants in their borders

The Daily Caller points out both the silence of the press along with the silence of Governor Gretchen “the Wretch” Whitmer and Representative Rashida Tlaib.

A number of Democratic elected officials in Michigan failed to condemn “Death to America” chants made at an Al Quds Day Rally in Dearborn, Michigan, late last week.

An activist named Tarek Bazzi spoke to the crowd at the rally calling for “all of” the crowd’s chants and shouts to be directed at America. The protesters can be heard chanting, “Death to America” in a video posted on social media.

“The death to Israel is the most logical chant heard across the world, today,” said Bazzi in the video. After Bazir’s remarks, Michigan Imam Usama Abdhulagani said to the crowd, “Israel is an evil settler-colonial State.”

“Israel is ISIS,” continued Abdhulagani.

The Daily Caller contacted Democrats from Michigan’s Congressional delegation, along with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, to ask if they condemned the chant. A number of them responded with condemnations, but several did not, including Whitmer and Rep. Rashida Tlaib.

We will see ice storms in July for Houston, Texas before Joe Biden, Gretchen Whitmer, or Rashida Tlaib criticizes an Islamic extremist

There are a number of hot places that would first freeze over before that set (Joe Biden, Gretchen Whitmer, or Rashida Tlaib) would chance say something against Islam.

When on the road in Michigan, Biden said “The most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy.”

Michigan CBS affiliate WWMT reported in a 15 March 2023 article how Joe Biden estimated White supremacy to be the greatest threat to America.

President Joe Biden over the weekend addressed what he calls the biggest threat to the United States: white supremacy.

So, how worried is the government about that threat and what, if anything, does it mean in the 2024 race for the White House?

“The most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy.,” Biden said while addressing a graduation ceremony at Howard University. “I’m not saying this because I’m at a black HBCU. I say it wherever I go.”

Just as Joe maintains President Trump threatens democracy, he also has not stepped back from calling “White supremacy” a threat to America

In fact, just this week, Biden called Trump the “primary threat to freedom and democracy at home” (all while Joe’s White House has met with every prosecutor working cases against President Trump).

Teen arrested by the FBI for allegedly plotting to attack churches in name of ISIS

CBS News reports in a 9 April 2024 article on the arrest of 18-year-old Alexander Mercurio who planned to kill churchgoers in his town in the name of ISIS.

An 18-year-old from Idaho was arrested Saturday and accused of plotting to kill churchgoers in his town in the name of ISIS, according to court documents unsealed Monday.

Alexander Mercurio was charged in a criminal complaint with providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization. He remains in custody and has not entered a plea, according to court records.

Investigators alleged Mercurio was about to attack at least one church in his area on April 7 — a Sunday — with guns, knives, and flammable chemicals, but they said they foiled his plans before he could carry out his plan.

Mercurio is accused of writing to an unnamed FBI source that he was set to “stop close by the church, equip the weapon(s) and storm the temple, killing as many people as possible.” His goal, according to investigators, was to carry out an act of martyrdom before the end of Ramadan — the holy month observed peacefully by Islam practitioners across the globe that emphasizes prayer and fasting — and pledge his allegiance to the leader of ISIS.

“I am going to perform a martyrdom operation very soon,” he allegedly wrote in one recent message. “The targets will be the various churches in my town.”

In the newly-released court documents, prosecutors described an evolution of beliefs beginning in 2022 when messages and posts allegedly revealed the teenager’s interest in ISIS and his parents’ apparent dissatisfaction with his religious beliefs. He stored media on his electronic devices including a jihadi chant, investigators said, and posted pro-ISIS material online.

Court documents revealed Mercurio also allegedly told members of a terror-affiliated group chat that he had previously been in contact with an individual who was later arrested for providing financial support to the terrorist group.

Luckily, the FBI caught this guy before he joined Black Lives Matter or Antifa

If Mercurio had joined either BLM or Antifa, the FBI likely would never had caught him. Instead, the Biden staff would have contributed to his cause.

Biden and Islam: where is the attraction


Biden’s border crisis exposed America’s dirty foreign agent secret

The Daily Caller starts us out by shining a light on the Somalian spy imbedded in Biden’s regime.

The Biden Administration’s open border policies give Americans a small window to see into the minds of the people running the country.

It seems like a no-brainer that the men and women elected to lead the U.S. would put America’s interest above all else, and yet, there are daily reminders that not only are they not doing that, but their allegiances are to foreign nations wanting to destroy the country.

The Daily Caller News Foundation reported exclusively Monday that federal authorities caught a Somali terrorist from the al-Shabaab terror group at the California border and released him into the interior United States, where he stayed for almost a year before eventually being arrested again in Minnesota.

The internal memo identified an unnamed individual picked up by federal authorities on March 13, 2023. The man’s name was run through the terror watchlist by the Terrorist Screening Center (TSC), which determined he was safe to enter the U.S. He was allowed to travel freely throughout the country until Jan. 18, 2024, when the TSC re-ran the man’s name and confirmed he was a Somali terrorist “involved in the use, manufacture or transport of explosives or firearms, ” according to the report.

It’s hard to explain what it does to the psyche of a country’s citizens when they realize national safety is a myth and even worse when one of its elected officials is telling crowds of people in a foreign language that her allegiances lie with Somalia first.

Democrat Minn. Rep. Ilhan Omar told Somalis at a recent event that although there are “areas of friction” among their people, Somalis know “they are Somalians first, Muslims second.”

“Many Somalians have personally called me to encourage me to speak to the U.S. government and help Somalia. They wanted to know what the U.S. government could do for Somalia to ensure the MoU [Memorandum of Agreement] never turns into a full bilateral agreement. My answer to Somalians was that the U.S. government will only do what Somalians in the U.S. tell them to do. They will do what we want and nothing else,” Omar told the crowd according to a translation on X, formally Twitter. “They must follow our orders, and that is how we will safeguard the interest of Somalia. We Somalians must have that confidence in ourselves that we call for the shots in the U.S.”

Add to that, there is the issue of the support for Palestinian terrorists by Dementia Joe

As most who pay any attention know, President Trump cut off U.S. support to UNWRA (the UN organization providing support to Palestinian terrorists).

Since Joe has a love affair with all things Iranian and Islamic, Joe reversed this decision and resumed the funding until it became evident to the whole world that this indeed was a terrorist organization that the rest of the world felt the need to drop.

From the above turn of events regarding the Somalian spy, it seems that those that we admitted as refugees have no allegiance to America (only to Somalia and Islam). Therefore, it would be in the best interests of America to wholesale eject these traitors.

Additionally, if we were to review the Palestinians that have been admitted, I would wonder whether we might find the same lack of allegiance and lack of assimulation. If so, all sides might be best served through repatriation.

As the election year nears, Biden gets worse


Biden has screwed up the US economy, but it could (and may) be worse

Biden’s security policies raise fears of global economic meltdown as commerce halts with unrest

Just The News shows us how Biden’s security policies have raised fears of a global economic meltdown.

The Biden administration’s security policies are raising the risk of a global economic crisis as Iran’s backing of the Houthi rebels threatens to shut down international shipping while closures at the U.S.-Mexico border prompted by illegal immigration are costing billions of dollars in trade.

The Biden administration “continues to try to make nice with this regime that has been chanting ‘Death to America’ and ‘Death to Israel’ for more than 40 years,” former Deputy National Security Adviser Victoria Coates, currently a Heritage Foundation national security expert, told the Just the News, No Noise television show last week about the White House’s relationship with Iran.

Both of the anti-U.S. and anti-Israel phrases are commonly chanted in Iran. “God is great, death to the U.S., death to Israel, curse the Jews, and victory for Islam,” is even the slogan of the Yemen-based Houthis, who call themselves Ansar Allah, the Arabic for supporters of God.

One of former President Donald Trump’s last acts before leaving office in January 2021 was designating the Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Less than a month later, the Biden administration delisted the group, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the time citing how such a designation “could have a devastating impact on Yemenis’ access to basic commodities like food and fuel.”

Ever since being delisted, the Houthis have been launching attacks in the region, with a particular increase since Oct. 7, when Hamas invaded Israel and killed about 1,200 people and kidnapped approximately 240 others. The Houthis pledged to support Hamas and began targeting ships in the Red Sea. The group said it is targeting ships belonging to Israel and its allies, but it is also attacking Norwegian and Liberian vessels, according to Coates.

About 12% of global trade passes through the Red Sea and Egypt’s Suez Canal, according to the New Zealand Foreign Affairs Ministry. The only other alternative to this passageway is going around the southern tip of Africa through the Cape of Good Hope, which takes significantly more time.

So, Biden’s bowing to the Iranian interests has effects on more than just Israel

Not only has Biden been allowing the Chinese to enrich the Iranians with tens of billions of oil dollars without sanctioning either, he has also just responded a handful of times to the over-ninety attacks on American military installations (including 3 responses to 23 attacks in the past two months).

Therefore, since this endangers the flow of commerce around the world, Biden has found a way to make his bumbling policies to cripple more than just the American economy. Now, we could almost ensure a world-wide catastrophy because of the Obama/Biden bowing to the Iranians.

Nonetheless, any of us will probably not read of this connection between Biden’s bumbling and world economics in the American press or on Google-controlled searches. Those two Democrat coverings are working overtime for Dementia Joe and the other Democrats.

Even with the complicit press that we have, Biden finds that to be not enough

Biden scolds media for negative coverage of economy: “Start reporting it the right way”

Fox News shines a light on how Joe Biden has tried to put a dictatorial strangle-hold on the press.

President Biden took a swipe at the media for negative coverage of the economy ahead of his holiday vacation.

Upon leaving the White House on Saturday before spending his Christmas at Camp David, Biden was asked by a reporter about his “outlook” of the economy going into 2024.

“All good. Take a look,” Biden responded.

“Start reporting it the right way,” he added with a smirk.

Biden has repeatedly been critical of the press, which he accuses of focusing more on negative news than positive things that come from his administration.

But his approval among Americans continues reaching historic lows and his handling of the economy is a heavy factor in his unpopularity.

If they were reporting the right way, we would have a clearer picture of our economy

If the press would stop reporting a reduction of the rate of increase in inflation as a “pay increase” (rather than reporting the almost 19% inflation America has experienced, excluding fuel, dwelling, and food costs), then we might have a clearer picture.

Still, this is not enough for Joe. He wants the “news” bent more in his favor. But what should we expect from the guy whose regime came up with a Disinformation Governance Board (which probably still operates behind the scenes).

…

On the good side, the American people see through the press

Biden’s approval near record low

The Daily Wire reports a short piece on the polling data for Joe Biden.

President Biden’s approval numbers have slipped to near their lowest levels. The president’s approval hit 38% this month — that’s down from 45% in February. The AP NORC poll says respondents are unhappy with high gas and food prices. Biden reached his lowest approval of 36% last July.

So, America doesn’t take the lies from Joe

Or at least, they don’t seem to reflect it, right now.

…

Now let us consider how Biden has treated countries that treated its candidates for office as Joe and Colorado treat President Trump

Here’s how the Biden regime treated countries that kicked candidates off the ballot

The Daily Caller lists out some of the countries that Joe Biden has taken part in efforts to sanction and otherwise punish for actions like using lawfare to remove candidates from the ballot (like Joe and Colorado just did).

The Biden administration has enacted or threatened sanctions against foreign nations who have kicked opposition candidates off the ballot, leading some lawmakers to question the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling this week to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 election ballot.

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled in a 4-3 decision on Tuesday to remove Trump from the state 2024 election ballots, having decided he is disqualified to run for office under the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban,” despite the former president not being criminally convicted of such an offense. The Biden administration has previously used sanctions in retaliation against foreign nations who engaged in stifling political competition and removing opponents from election ballots, as several lawmakers have pointed out this week.

“The U.S. has put sanctions on other countries for doing exactly what the Colorado Supreme Court has done today,” Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said on Tuesday.

“We’d threaten sanctions against countries that had their courts exclude a challenger to protect the incumbent,” Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee said Tuesday.

(continued)

The Biden administration continues to push Venezuela toward holding free elections next year. The administration maintains its warning that it will take measures, including reimposing sanctions, if Maduro’s government does not hold to its word.

However, no sanctions have thus far been reimposed.

Nicaragua, a nation under dictatorship in Central America, had its government hit with sanctions from the Biden administration in 2021, according to the Treasury Department. The Biden administration explained they were imposing sanctions against Nicaragua because of its 2021 “sham election,” as the country’s government removed most of incumbent President Daniel Ortega‘s political opponents from the ballot.

Only five of Ortega’s political opponents were on the ballot in 2021, all of whom were not well known and had little chance of winning, according to CNN. Seven of Ortega’s other political opponents were not allowed to appear on the ballot after being “unjustly arrested” prior to elections, ensuring a “rigged outcome well before election day,” according to the Treasury Department and USA Today.

The Biden administration pointed to the government’s “groundless” misuse of Nicaragua’s Law 1055, which bans anyone deemed as a “traitor” by the country’s government from running for public office.

“The Ortega regime is using laws and institutions to detain members of the political opposition and deprive Nicaraguans from the right to vote,” Office of Foreign Assets Control Director Andrea M. Gacki said in a November 2021 statement. “We stand with the Nicaraguan people in their calls for reform and a return to democracy.”

Belarus, a country in eastern Europe with close ties to Russia, was hit with sanctions by the former Trump administration in 2020 over concerns the country held “fraudulent” elections that year by barring political opponents from the ballot and falsifying voting records, according to the Treasury Department. The Biden administration upheld these sanctions and castigated Belarus in a June 2021 statement for holding illegitimate elections by preventing “multiple opposition candidates from appearing on the ballot and restrictions on the ability of the opposition to campaign,” according to the Treasury.

“The United States and its partners will not tolerate continued attacks on democracy and the ceaseless repression of independent voices in Belarus,” Gacki said in a June 2021 statement. “Today’s actions, taken on both sides of the Atlantic, hold accountable those who continue to suppress the democratic aspirations of the Belarusian people.”

How can Biden call these real sanctions?

How is it that Biden can call these sanctions while he does not enforce them and then enriches those communist countries? In the case of Venezuela, he has sent many of the petro-dollars that should have bouyed our economy into a communist regime.

What can I say? Birds of a feather.

If Jesus were really born today


John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute

John Whitehead asks “How Would the Baby in a Manger Fare in the American Police State?”

In a 19 December 2016 post at the Rutherford Institute website, John Whitehead took the message of the religious left that reduces Christ to being only a man who is subject to the forces within this world. However, he does make good points about the over-reach of government in today’s “free society.”

Jesus is too much for us. The church’s later treatment of the gospels is one long effort to rescue Jesus from ‘extremism.’’—author Gary Wills, What Jesus Meant

Jesus was good. He was caring. He had powerful, profound things to say—things that would change how we view people, alter government policies and change the world. He went around helping the poor. And when confronted by those in authority, he did not shy away from speaking truth to power.

Jesus was born into a police state not unlike the growing menace of the American police state.

But what if Jesus, the revered preacher, teacher, radical and prophet, had been born 2,000 years later? How would Jesus’ life have been different had he be born and raised in the American police state?

Consider the following if you will.

The Christmas narrative of a baby born in a manger is a familiar one.

The Roman Empire, a police state in its own right, had ordered that a census be conducted. Joseph and his pregnant wife Mary traveled to the little town of Bethlehem so that they could be counted. There being no room for the couple at any of the inns, they stayed in a stable, where Mary gave birth to a baby boy. That boy, Jesus, would grow up to undermine the political and religious establishment of his day and was eventually crucified as a warning to others not to challenge the powers-that-be.

However, had Jesus been born in the year 2016…

Rather than traveling to Bethlehem for a census, Jesus’ parents would have been mailed a 28-page American Community Survey, a mandatory government questionnaire documenting their habits, household inhabitants, work schedule, how many toilets are in your home, etc. The penalty for not responding to this invasive survey can go as high as $5,000.

Instead of being born in a manger, Jesus might have been born at home. Rather than wise men and shepherds bringing gifts, however, the baby’s parents might have been forced to ward off visits from state social workers intent on prosecuting them for the home birth. One couple in Washington had all three of their children removed after social services objected to the two youngest being birthed in an unassisted home delivery.

Had Jesus been born in a hospital, his blood and DNA would have been taken without his parents’ knowledge or consent and entered into a government biobank. While most states require newborn screening, a growing number are holding onto that genetic material long-term for research, analysis and purposes yet to be disclosed.

Then again, had his parents been undocumented immigrants, they and the newborn baby might have been shuffled to a profit-driven, private prison for illegals where they would have been turned into cheap, forced laborers for corporations such as Starbucks, Microsoft, Walmart, and Victoria’s Secret. There’s quite a lot of money to be made from imprisoning immigrants, especially when taxpayers are footing the bill.

From the time he was old enough to attend school, Jesus would have been drilled in lessons of compliance and obedience to government authorities, while learning little about his own rights. Had he been daring enough to speak out against injustice while still in school, he might have found himself tasered or beaten by a school resource officer, or at the very least suspended under a school zero tolerance policy that punishes minor infractions as harshly as more serious offenses.

Had Jesus disappeared for a few hours let alone days as a 12-year-old, his parents would have been handcuffed, arrested and jailed for parental negligence. Parents across the country have been arrested for far less “offenses’ such as allowing their children to walk to the park unaccompanied and play in their front yard alone.

Rather than disappearing from the history books from his early teenaged years to adulthood, Jesus’ movements and personal data—including his biometrics—would have been documented, tracked, monitored and filed by governmental agencies and corporations such as Google and Microsoft. Incredibly, 95 percent of school districts share their student records with outside companies that are contracted to manage data, which they then use to market products to us.

From the moment Jesus made contact with an “extremist’ such as John the Baptist, he would have been flagged for surveillance because of his association with a prominent activist, peaceful or otherwise. Since 9/11, the FBI has actively carried out surveillance and intelligence-gathering operations on a broad range of activist groups, from animal rights groups to poverty relief, anti-war groups and other such ‘extremist’ organizations.

Jesus’ anti-government views would certainly have resulted in him being labeled a domestic extremist. Law enforcement agencies are being trained to recognize signs of anti-government extremism during interactions with potential extremists who share a ‘belief in the approaching collapse of government and the economy.’ ”

Yes, I have to agree that the people in our government are self-interested, power-seeking people (as all of people have been known to be even before the writing of Romans 3:23).

Furthermore, the expansion of our government into areas far outside of the scope originally set forward by the founding fathers has set up opportunities for that government to practice power that it should not possess.

However, I have a problem with the assumption that God can be constrained.  More to the point, I don’t believe that God would be effected to change his promised birthplace (Micah 5:2) or the refuge where he would flee (Hosea 11:1).

First consider that Jesus was not just a man

When Christ made his 7 “I am” statements (refer to John 6:35-51; 8:12; 8:58; 9:5; 10:9; 10:11; and 11:25), he was taking on the name of the self-existent God of the Jews.

Additionally, each of the “I am” statements provide a window showing how God’s presence works centrally to each of us (if we will allow such a relationship to happen).  Naturally, this ties in with the considerations central to what a modern-day Christ would have faced.

  1. By using “I am” instead of his commonly-used reference to himself as the “Son of Man,” Christ took on the name God used to identify himself to Moses (Exodus 13:13-14).  Because God’s name reflects his power, the third commandment protects that name (Exodus 20:7). On that foundation, God’s law punished those who take his name in vain (Leviticus 24:16) — including the following means of taking the Lord’s name in vain: offering children to Molech (Leviticus 18:21), swearing falsely (19:12), and priests cutting the edge of their beards (21:5–6).Therefore, we cannot be surprised that the observant Jews around Jesus grumbled (John 6:43) and took up stones to kill him (John 8:59).
  2. When Christ said, “I am the bread of life” — he equated His presence to a commonly-accepted food — a staff of life.  Without food, you naturally get hungry. Without Christ, you will spiritually hunger. But with our daily (and in many ways, continual) meal of Christ, we can be energized to live and seek God.For God to put this central hunger for him within our being, God’s plan that made him central to our working lives becomes evident.  Therefore, it does not make sense to suggest that God would do anything to not be true to his holy, just, and loving self (as Mr. Whitehead’s article implies that God could abandon the prophecies on Christ’s birth in Bethlehem, his death on a cross, and many other topics would imply).
  3. Christ’s words “I am the light of the world” show our need for his input to see the world as it exists.  Without Christ, our spiritual eyes have no use because of the darkness that engulfs us.  With Christ, we can both see and seek more knowledge of him.
  4. By saying “I am the door,” Jesus likened himself to a shepherd who puts his sheep into a totally-enclosed fold and then puts himself at the entrance to protect the sheep from wolves and thieves.
  5. When Christ said “I am the true vine,” he emphasized his connection to the people of Israel (who are called a vine in Isaiah 5:1-2; Jeremiah 2:21; Ezekiel 15:6 and who are depicted as a vine on the temple).
  6. Through the words “I am the good shepherd,” Christ emphasizes the dedication he has to us and the utter stupidity of humans.  A bad shepherd might steal sheep or abandon them when danger wolves attack.  A bad shepherd might just ignore the sheep when they wander near a cliff. A bad shepherd might not lead the sheep to good pasture or still water.  In contrast, Jesus provides true safety and an environment for spiritual growth.
  7. By proclaiming “I am the resurrection and the life,” Jesus not only foreshadowed the miracle he prepared to do with Lazarus, he also pointed toward the final resurrection of those given to him by the Father.
  8. Finally, by stating “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me,” he pointed out four things.  He pointed out that his way involved the long journey.  He pointed out that he held no falseness in that journey.  He pointed out that his was a way that supported the follower in every living way.  Finally, he pointed out that this eternal journey was exclusive to him: not him and works, not him and another prophet, and not him and a new message.

Therefore, having established that Jesus has fully claimed the title of God, let’s explore the what a Christ born in our day might entail.

If Christ were born today

If Christ were born today, he would be born in Bethlehem Ephrathah (Micah 5:2).  That means he would live among the citizens of the Palestinian Authority.  As a decedent of David and a Jew, he would likely be subject to attacks (as currently are both Jews and Christians in that area).  Therefore, like the young family of Jesus did before, he might flee to Egypt to hide.

Upon returning to Israel and settling in Nazareth, Jesus would be in one of the largest Arab communities in Israel.  As when the Romans had a garrison there, he would be among some of his fellow Jews.  However, due to the large number of Arabs, he might feel like a stranger in his own land (considering the celebrations some of those Arabs hold for the murderers of Jews).

As Jesus wandered about the Judean hills, he would find a marked hostility to non-Muslim thought. Most dangerous to any followers of his might be the knife intifada, the fire intifada, the lie intifada raging across other lands, and other popular methods of attack (cars, trucks, and more). Within Israel proper, he might also face some resistance to non-Jewish customs. However, the receptive ears among the alternative lifestyles (prostitutes and today’s version of tax collectors) of Israel would likely be as open to Jesus as they were during the Roman occupation.

In the event that the modern Jesus might wander throughout the lands that comprised Israel at its height, he would see genocide among his followers. Millions would be killed, many taken as sex slaves, have their belongings stolen, and would otherwise become completely disenfranchised.

However, the problem throughout the world would be the exclusive message of Christ.  As before, he would preach that he is the “way, the truth, and the life.”  Again, he would say “nobody comes to the Father except through me.” He would insist that we love our enemies, that we accept God’s free gift of salvation, and that we accept the atoning power of his death.  And, true to the prophecies of his death on a cross, he would become our sacrifice.

To tell the Truth, Jesus did come today

Jesus came today.  For the past 2,000 years, Christ has been arriving, living among us, loving, establishing hospitals, feeding the poor, and going to the ends of the earth.  He has been providing needs among refugees.  More often than the press wants you to know, he has been dying on a cross or otherwise spilling his blood.

Furthermore, he is calling to you with love, forgiveness, and hope for an eternal future with him.  All you need to do is believe and accept his gift.

We are choosing our future now


Is this the “equity” we can look forward to?

Israel releases 200 prisoners convicted of terrorist acts,

Hamas releases 100 Israeli citizens captured and then has their gunman kill three and injure eight at a Israeli bus stop

Breitbart illustrates the inequity of the left by shining a light on one of the elements that soft-headed “progressive” Republicans and Democrats Socialists have foisted on America in droves over the past 50 years.

Terrorist gunmen killed three people and wounded eight more in Jerusalem on Thursday, Israeli police said, just minutes after a six-day truce between Israel and Hamas was extended to a seventh day, and just hours after an American hostage was freed.

Both attackers were shot dead at the scene, near a bus stop on the western side of Jerusalem, where there are no checkpoints guarding the city entrance.

“Two terrorists arrived in a car, one of them armed with an M-16 and the other with a pistol,” and opened fire during the morning rush hour, Jerusalem police chief Doron Torgeman told reporters at the scene, AFP reports.

The two gunmen were shot dead “after the attack by two off-duty IDF soldiers and another civilian who fired at them”, police said in a statement.

A security search of the vehicle found large amounts of ammunition.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog, at a meeting with visiting U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, called the attack an example of the “endless war that we are fighting against terror organisations, especially Hamas”.

Blinken similarly said the shooting is another reminder of the threat “Israelis face every single day.”

According to police, the attackers were two brothers in their 30s affiliated with the Hamas terrorist group who had been jailed by Israel in the past.

There are a number of things to learn from this attack

Among the things we can learn:

  • Releasing terrorists doesn’t always produce the result that duplicitous liberals would have you think they expect
  • You cannot hold a scorpion to your chest and not expect to be stung
  • If Israel, with its tight border, still gets stung by terrorists — What can America expect since Mayorkas yesterday admitted that 12 million “undocumented” aliens have passed our borders (including who knows how many from terrorist nations)?
  • America has long been known by Iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorism, as the “Big Satan” while Israel has been known by them as the “Little Satan.” If these attacks and wars occur against Israel, is there any wonder why so many “Palestinians” flood our streets protesting our government? Is this a prelude to war?
  • However, by the barbed wire, fenses, National Guard at the Inauguration, maybe Biden did expect a response like this
  • By the multiple arrests of Biden’s primary opponent, maybe Joe does expect a response like this
  • Since Biden’s presidency has widely been called Obama’s third term, let us notice:
    • During Obama’s first term, Barack presented himself as a centrist and even campaigned in a few somewhat-conservative churches (as Saddleback Church seeemed at the time).
    • During his second term, somehow gay marriage, transgenderism, and other tangential views started to appear.
    • Now, with a majority of Obama’s staff in Biden’s crew, this third term for Barack seems to be taking us toward the path of the Islamic attacks that occurred on American soil in his first two terms.

It’s been a cover-up: MTG comments on 6 January 2021 footage

Just The News covers the comments by Marjorie Taylor Greene regarding what seems to have been a large-scale cover-up.

The Georgia Congresswoman says, “America deserves the truth, and the real big lie was the lie that was told about January 6th being an insurrection.” Additional interviews with former Congressman Rodney Davis on whether the previous January 6 Select Committee should be investigated for possibility of purposely spreading mistruths or misinformation and North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Michael Whatley on the gear up to picking the Republican Party’s nominee for President in 2024.

The degree to which only God and Biden know. I would guess that the Devil might also have a number of hints about the events, as he may have been in on the planning.

The Border Patrol president lambasts Biden for forcing CBP to police pronouns

Just The News quotes Border agent union president Brandon Judd on his opinion of Joe Biden directing CBP agents to police pronouns.

The Biden Homeland Security Department’s new pronoun rules for illegal immigrants is getting lambasted by the union for border patrol agents as an unnecessary distraction during the nation’s border and fentanyl crises.

A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) memo obtained by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project and made public last week imposed new requirements on an already stretched thin team of border patrol agents.

“DO NOT use ‘he, him, she, her’ pronouns until you have more information about, or provided by, the individual,” the memo instructed agents.

Brandon Judd, the president of the National Border Patrol Council, confirmed to Just the News that the memo was sent to agents and he considered the requirement to be an unnecessary distraction for an agency swamped by millions of illegal immigrants under President Joe Biden.

“We can’t be worrying about whether we’re going to hurt somebody’s feelings,” Judd told the Just the News, No Noise television show.

“Now we have to be cognizant of their civil rights. But this is not a civil rights issue. This is simply a matter of preference. And, and, you know, again, taking the time to deal with that rather than deal with the actual laws that were supposed to be enforcing. This is the woke mob.”

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has defended the department’s new gender identity policies, insisting they are aimed at “ensuring that everyone, regardless of gender identity, is treated with respect” and are part of a “whole-of-government effort to promote equity and inclusion” in government.

If Joe can get you to look at a 250 or 300 pound guy with a beard and say that you will call that guy “her,” “she,” “ze,” or anything but the truth, then they can bend your mind to do anything.

On the economic front where terrorists get funded by Biden tax dollars

Biden approves a fresh $10 billion for Iran

The New York Post gives us a mirror to show us the knife Biden planted in our collective backs.

The Biden administration has extended a sanctions waiver that will grant Iran access to roughly $10 billion from Iraq in exchange for electricity purchases.

The 120-day waiver, signed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday, is identical to one issued in July, but comes amid increased attacks against US forces by Iranian proxies and just over a month after Iran-backed terror group Hamas slaughtered 1,200 people in Israel on Oct. 7.

Under the conditions of the waiver, Iran will receive nearly $10 billion being held in escrow accounts in Iraq that may only be used for humanitarian trade, US officials told the Associated Press.

The waiver extension will also allow the Iranian regime to transfer the electricity payments to accounts in Oman, which can then be converted to other currencies for the Islamic Republic to purchase non-sanctioned products, according to the outlet.

US officials noted that Blinken signed the waiver primarily because the Biden administration doesn’t want Iraq to be cut off from a critical source of energy.

We don’t have all kidnapped Americans back. Likewise, not all Israelis are back.

If not all hostages have been released, why is Biden giving money to the largest state sponsor of terrorism and the country that trained Hamas?

Might it be for the same reason that we are approaching 70 attacks on our troops while Biden has only ordered three attacks against enemy equipment? Might it be that Biden is the embodiment of weakness?

Or is it just that Barack Obama, who runs things from the background, does not want to attack his fellow Muslim leaders?

Don’t believe the media trying to separate the support of Palestinian population from Hamas

The overwhelming majority of Palestinians support terrorism against Jews and America

The Daily Wire points to a poll showing overshelming support of Palestinians for terrorism against Jews and America.

A newly released poll that was conducted at the start of the month by the Arab World for Research and Development found that the overwhelming majority of Palestinians supported the October 7 terrorist attacks against Israel and hate the United States.

The survey comes after Palestinian terrorists with Hamas invaded Israel in an unprecedented terrorist attack last month. Palestinian women and children engaged in the attacks as approximately 3,000 terrorists slaughtered 1,200 innocent Israelis, wounding 5,300 more, and kidnapping more than 240.

The poll surveyed 668 Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip as Israel conducted military operations to root out the terrorists responsible for the attacks.
Key findings from the poll:

  • 86.7% now have a “decreased” “conviction” of wanting a “peaceful solution” with Israel.
    • Only 9.1% have an “increased” conviction.
  • 68% said that their support for a two-state solution has “decreased.”
    • Only 22.9% said that it increased.
  • 89.5% say that their “conviction” for wanting to coexist with Israelis has “decreased.”
    • Only 7.2% say that it has increased.
  • 98% say that their “sense of pride as a Palestinian” has increased since the terrorist attacks, including 94.3% who said that they felt that way to a “great extent.”
  • 75% of Palestinians directly said that they supported the brutal October 7 terrorist attacks — in which babies were beheaded or burned alive in ovens, entire families were massacred, women and young girls were violently raped, soldiers beheaded, and more — against Israel.
    • 59.3% said that they “extremely support[ed]” the attacks.

Americans: are you really that dull that you don’t remember Palestinians dancing in the street on 11 September 2001?

Since the Gaza strip seems to stand as a small country run by terrorists, the fear of the people not expressing support for their oppressors may be the reason behind this strong support. However, this strong support may also be rooted in an Islamic culture that looks up to strong dictators and has a trained hatred for Jews and Christians.

Unlike “Apology Tour” Obama, we need to consider who we are dealing with (as Biden sends $10 billion to Iran and $100 million to Palestine).

Another poll proves Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank strongly support Hamas and the 7 October attack

The Jerusalem Post likewise points to a poll where Palestinians strongly support the terror that occurred on 7 October 2023.

After Hamas’ devastating October 7 massacre in which some 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals were murdered, the globe was divided into people able to condemn the attack and people perceiving the terrorists as “freedom fighters.”

Palestinian society seems much less divided on the issue compared to the rest of the world, according to a November 14 poll by the Arab World for Research and Development. When asked the leading question “How much do you support the military operation carried out by the Palestinian resistance led by Hamas on October 7?” Palestinian responses showed support for the attack.

Palestinians living in the West Bank overwhelmingly answered that they supported the attack to either an extreme or “somewhat” extent (83.1%.) Only 6.9% answered that they were “extremely” or “somewhat” against the attack, and 8.4% expressed that they had no opinion either way.

Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip show a little less consensus but the overall majority supported the attack. A mass of 63.6% said that they supported the attack “extremely” or to a “somewhat” extent. A further 14.4% answered that they did not oppose or support the attack. Showing a greater rift than that of the West Bank, 20.9% of Palestinians living in Gaza opposed the attack to some degree.

A total of 75% of respondents agreed with the October 7 attack to any extent.

On the front of a government weaponized against conservatives

The Department of “Justice” asked the Supreme Court to hide surveillance of congressional investigators for five years

Just The News points to the words of an ex-aide who claimed that the DOJ asked SCOTUS to hide surveillance of congressional investigators for five years.

ne of the Senate investigators whose personal phone and emails records were seized by the Justice Department as he was conducting congressional oversight of the agency tells Just the News he has confirmed that the government successfully asked a federal court to hide its spying on Congress for five consecutive years.

Jason Foster is now the head of the Empower Oversight whistleblower center. In 2017 at the time of the secret surveillance, he was the chief investigative counsel for Sen. Chuck Grassley on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Foster on Tuesday told Just the News that lawyers for Google have now provided him documents showing that DOJ asked a federal magistrate for five consecutive years to delay notifying him that his data had been subpoenaed in an apparent federal leaks investigation.

The seizure of his personal data occurred in 2017 while he worked for the Senate, and ordinarily under the original court order, Foster would have been notified a year later. But because the DOJ sought court approval ex parte to keep its surveillance secret, he wasn’t alerted until earlier this fall, six years after the initial subpoena. Ex parte actions are motions, hearings or orders granted on the request of and for the benefit of one party only, without notice to the other party, in this case, Foster.

This is an exception to the basic rule of court procedure that both parties must be present at any argument before a judge.

At least a dozen Republican or Democrat members of Congress or their staff, including former House Intelligence Committee lawyer Kash Patel, also have been notified in recent months that DOJ spied on their activities.

Suddenly, the quote from Pastor Martin Niemöller comes to mind again

Now these representatives feel the pinch that Biden has put on:

  • Those who stood up at school board meetings,
  • Those who spoke out on 6 January 2021,
  • Those who attended Latin mass, or
  • Now, those who don’t chant “From the river to the sea” to the detriment of Jews

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out — because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out — because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out — because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me.

Nature or nurture of hate and terror in America

Again, let’s review the story:

There was a woman who found an iridescently-colored, but near-black, scorpion in the early-morning frost.

The scorpion reflected the rays of sunlight in ways that made it seem to have hues of dark green and blue. As she looked tat it, it barely moved.

“Warm me” it entoned.

“But you are a scorpion. You will sting me and, with my allergies, I will die” she replied.

Still, the scorpion repeated, “Warm me.”

Looking at the beautiful display of light glancing off of the arachnid, she took pity and lifted it to her breasts.

After a moment, she felt a sting.

“Why did you sting me? I befriended you and warmed you.”

“I know, but I am a scorpion.”

Indianapolis police arrest “terrorist” for purposely driving her car into what she thought was a Jewish school

Indianapolis Fox affiliate WXIN tells us about a terrorist woman who decided to ram her car into what she thought was a Jewish school.

IMPD officers arrested a woman, who they labeled a “terrorist,” after she drove her car into a building that she thought was a Jewish school.

However, the building is used by the Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge which has been labeled and anti-semitic hate group.

Ruba Almaghtheh, 34, was arrested on a preliminary charge of criminal recklessness.

According to a police report obtained by FOX59/CBS4, police were called to the building around 11:30 Friday night to investigate a hate crime. Officers said Almaghtheh backed her car into the building while several adults and children were inside.

Almaghtheh told officers she was watching news coverage of the Israel-Hamas war on television and decided to plan an attack on the building because she was offended by the “Hebrew Israelite” symbol on the front of the building.

Police said Almaghtheh passed by the building a couple times and called it the “Israel school.”

IMPD said she made reference to “her people back in Palestine” and told officers, “Yes. I did it on purpose.”

However, the Anti-Defamation League defines the Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge as an “extreme and antisemitic” sect of the Black Hebrew Israelites.

While this woman seems to have acted in ignorance, her actions were spurred by an identification with hate-filled groups.

In this case, a woman projected anti-semitism against an anti-semitic group (the same group that was shouting down Nicholas Sandmann and the rest of the Covington Catholic High School kids who were in DC to support pro-life issues).

Still, this emphasizes the overall spin that seems to go into the conversation through the media. Instead of building peace among our fellow citizens (or at least showing a true picture of the scene), a large part of the media has found a way to demonize one segment of our society and turn another several segments of our society into their victims.

It is almost as if the media has bought into the socialist framework that demands the world be split into classes of the oppressed and the oppressors.

Hmmm. I have to wonder what the headline at NBC might have been had an old Palestinian has his or her head crushed by a Jewish protester in Los Angeles.

It seems the pro-Palestinians won’t even allow Jewish people to testify before Congress on attacks against them

Anti-Israel protesters interrupt Jewish students testifying before Congress on college antisemitism

Fox News notes how pro-Hamas students continually interrupted hearings on how Jewish students have endured harrassment in American colleges.

Anti-Israel protesters interrupted Jewish students and other witnesses testifying before Congress about the rise of antisemitism and anti-conservative bias on college campuses Wednesday.

Right as Connor Ogrydziak, recent graduate of the University of Buffalo, began his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee hearing slated to discuss “freedom of speech on college campuses,” a protester stood up in the gallery with sign saying pro Palestine does not equal antisemitism. “Silencing anti-Zionist Jewish and Arab students is not about battling antisemitism,” the protester shouted, as Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, gaveled for the committee to remain in order.

Accusing politicians of “genocide,” the protester cited the estimated 10,000 people Hamas claims have died in Gaza. Police officers escorted the protester out, while another demonstrator began shouting about the censure of far-left Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Michigan, over her use of the antisemitic chant “from the river to the sea” that promises to erase Israel from the map. Jordan promised those who interrupted the hearing would be ousted, as more demonstrators, donning red hands, accused Israel of “apartheid.”

“Cease-fire, now. Cease-fire, now,” a protester shouted while being removed by police.

Later during a line of questioning, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-California., said “the protesters who have all been escorted out probably don’t understand, but they are playing into the hands of Iran.”

Ogrydziak, who has faced threats and protests from fellow students over speakers like Lt. Cornell West and conservative commentator Michael Knowles who his organization Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) invited to speak on Buffalo University’s campus, attempted to begin again several times while protesters shouted “Free Gaza,” “Free Palestine,” and “Palestinians deserve to speak about the genocide of their families.”  Police warned the demonstrators to sit down or they would be arrested.

Demonstrators continued to interrupt other witnesses and be escorted out of the hearing, which Jordan opened the hearing by citing the Anti-Defamation League has tracked a 400% increase in Anti-Semitic incidents, including harassment, vandalism and assault, in the two weeks after Hamas terrorists’ Oct. 7 attack on Israeli citizens.

Ranking member Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., also cited how in the year prior to the October 7 assault, the ADL also recorded antisemitic activity rising by 41%. Nadler apologized directly to one of the witnesses, Cornell student Amanda Silberstein, after law enforcement at the Ivy League school in New York arrested a student for allegedly making violent threats against Jews on an Internal message board, including to shoot, slit the throats of and rape Jewish students on campus.

“Palestinian students should not be censured. You want to talk about putting money where your mouth is? There are 10,000, over 10,000 Gazans dead,” another demonstrator shouted.

So blinded by their ideology, these mentally-arrested children lash out at people

Without considering the actions of Hamas, these children lash out. Not thinking of the anguish already experienced by the families, these babes scream. Ignoring the fear created by the mobs of Islamists among us, these infants do as infants do.

Like the wails of a baby in the middle of the night, these voices will convince nobody of anything. Only the baby might feel better having wailed, but certainly all of the adults only lost some time (and possibly sleep).

Elderly Jewish man dies after confrontation with pro-Palestinian protester at California rally

Fox News reports on the death of a Jewish man killed by a Palestinian protester in California.

An elderly Jewish man attending a pro-Israel rally in California has died after a “physical altercation” with a pro-Palestinian protester, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department announced on Monday evening.

Deputies responded to reports of a battery at a demonstration on Westlake and Thousand Oaks Boulevards after a verbal altercation broke out between 69-year-old Paul Kessler and an unnamed protester on Sunday afternoon, per a department press release.

“Witness accounts indicated that Kessler was involved in a physical altercation with [pro-Palestinian] counterprotesters,” the release continued. “During the altercation, Kessler fell backwards and struck his head on the ground.”

The department said it is continuing to investigate the incident and the “possibility of a hate crime” has not been ruled out.

Kessler’s autopsy at the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office determined the cause of death to be blunt force head injury and the manner of death to be homicide, per the release.

The department is requesting that anyone who witnessed or captured footage of the incident call Detective Stump at (805) 384-4745.

Video posted online shows Kessler on the ground bleeding and holding his head. A protester holding a “Free Palestine” sign and wearing a Palestinian flag embroidered on her jacket could be seen leaning over him.

A local man who was at the protest met Kessler minutes before he died, though he did not witness the altercation. The man, who did not want to be named, shared with Fox News Digital that he left to get something from his car and, when he returned, he saw Kessler “lying on the ground with blood everywhere.”

Here, I hope to be proven wrong, but I still wait for the proof of an ally and not an attacker.

While the first piece of this post was nothing but a story, the next article detailed the denial of free speech to an individual and then the denial of that person’s right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

While crimes are committed by individuals and the crimes of individuals cannot be laid at the feet of those who did not commit those crimes, a collective view of the crimes of a group can indicate the wisdom of whether or not America should have opened its doors to that group.

Prove to me that it was a wise move to open the doors to large groups of Islamists.

Christian beaten by “pro-Hamas” protesters

American Military News provides proof of a Christian man beaten by pro-Hamas protesters as that Christian escorted Jews.

A mob of pro-Palestinian supporters attacked two Turning Point USA workers and violently beat a Christian man who was escorting an elderly Jewish couple in Skokie, Illinois, on Sunday.

According to The Jerusalem Post, the violent attacks against the Turning Point USA workers occurred as pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli rallies took place at the same time on Sunday near Chicago.

Peter Christos, a Turning Point USA employee, posted a video on X, formerly Twitter, that identified him as the man being violently attacked by pro-Palestinian supporters.

“Yesterday in Skokie, myself & @TPUSA coworker were violently attacked by Pro-Hamas protestors while trying to escort a lost, elderly Jewish couple to the Pro-Israel event,” he said. “I was punched repeatedly, kicked in the head, and hit with a flagpole. This is being Pro-Israel in 2023.”

The state of free speech and tolerance in America

The Cato Institute wraps up (in a 31 October 2017 report) their assessment of how Americans view free speech for themselves and for others.

Nearly three‐​fourths (71%) of Americans believe that political correctness has done more to silence important discussions our society needs to have. A little more than a quarter (28%) instead believe that political correctness has done more to help people avoid offending others.

Overview

Americans Say Political Correctness Has Silenced Discussions Society Needs to Have; Most Have Views They’re Afraid to Share

The consequences are personal—58% of Americans believe the political climate today prevents them from saying things they believe. Democrats are unique, however, in that a slim majority (53%) do not feel the need to self‐​censor. Conversely, strong majorities of Republicans (73%) and independents (58%) say they keep some political beliefs to themselves.

Americans Oppose Hate Speech Bans but Say Hate Speech Is Morally Unacceptable

Most Americans (59%) think people should be allowed to express unpopular opinions in public, even those deeply offensive to other people. Forty percent (40%) think government should prevent hate speech in public. Nonetheless, an overwhelming majority (79%) agree that it is “morally unacceptable” to engage in hate speech against racial or religious groups. Thus, the public appears to distinguish between allowing offensive speech and endorsing it.

Despite this, the survey also found Americans willing to censor, regulate, or punish a wide variety of speech and expression they personally find offensive:

  • 51% of strong liberals say it’s “morally acceptable” to punch Nazis.
  • 53% of Republicans favor stripping U.S. citizenship from people who burn the American flag.
  • 51% of Democrats support a law that requires Americans use transgender people’s preferred gender pronouns.
  • 47% of Republicans favor bans on building new mosques.
  • 58% of Democrats say employers should punish employees for offensive Facebook posts.
  • 65% of Republicans say NFL players should be fired if they refuse to stand for the national anthem.

Reading this 2017 report makes you wonder whether the ensuing importation of Islamists and other factors has sent our handbasket to Helena, Wisconsin

Maybe our mass importation of Islamic “allies” has had an effect. Maybe our “education” (endoctrination) system has failed us (but rewarded the socialist overlords).

Still, when it comes to the things listed by Cato where Republicans wanted to limit free speech: don’t go there. Go another route. For example, if you don’t like NFL players kneeling for the anthem, go to the USFL games or any college games where players don’t kneel.

If you don’t want more mosques, join an evangelism team or figure some way to get your message (that counters the Islamic message) into the arena.

If you don’t like people who burn the flag, then fly your flag higher and do things to make people associate that high flag with their good feelings. In other words, invest in other peoples’ lives to the point that they see the good in that flag.

Obama links Hamas attacks with “unbearable” Israeli occupation

Newsmax informs us of an Obama speech where (even in the light of the evil shown recently by Hamas) he let slip his baseless socialist theory of oppressors and the oppressed.

Former President Barack Obama is coming under scrutiny for his recent remarks on Israel’s war on Hamas, giving moral equivalence to the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks by linking them with Israel’s “occupation” of Palestinian lands.

“What Hamas did was horrific, and there’s no justification for it,” Obama said, following that statement immediately by saying, “And, what is also true is that the occupation and what’s happening to Palestinians is unbearable.”

Obama made the remarks Friday at his Foundation’s “Democracy Forum.” Video excerpts of Obama’s comments were posted Pod Save America’s X page.

Critics were quick to note the former president’s moral equivalency of the brutal Hamas attacks that killed over 1400 Israelis, with the Daily Mail headlining that “Barack REFUSES to Pick a Side.”

(Read more at Newsmax)

In opposition to the Daily Mail assessment, I say Barack has picked a side (but the actions of that side are too horrific to justify just now).

From the beginning of his regime, Barack picked the side of the Islamists. No matter how many attacks we saw on American soil, he always sought ways to excuse them. No matter how horrific thos attacks were, he sought ways to continue the soft-headed programs of George W. Bush where America emulated Britain and imported “allies” from the Islamic lands where they respected strong men and had no tradition of Democracy.

Furthermore, from the beginning, Barack painted anything American or capitalist as imperialist (never mind that Islam and socialism are two of the quickest routes to proverty of the masses). Hence, in Barack’s little mind, the best way to improve things was to bring down capitalist states, bring down Democracies, and bring down Western-influenced states.

Never mind that Israel had been on the books as being in that area since before 10,000 B.C. Never mind that the term “Palestine” was invented by the Romans by manipulating the name “Philistine” (a barbaric seafaring people who had plagued the Israelites before the Romans). In Barack’s mind, the Israelites (become Israelis) were supposed “occupiers” (just like George Washington occupied the presidency before the “noble” Barack).

Fox News gives us the words of the Islamist member of the House, Rashida Tlaib as she tries to dig herself out of another hole by digging deeper.

Greene included something Tlaib wrote on X Friday that said, “From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate. My work and advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people no matter faith or ethnicity.”

“From the river to the sea” is a call for murder. Nothing less. Anyone who supports the lives of anyone (especially Jews) needs to stand up against this hate.

All of the Islamists chanting that phrase know what they mean; therefore, this is not an attempt to explain the truth to them. This constitutes Tlaib trying to foist a lie on anyone dumb enough to accept her lie.

The one way to get out of this lie comes by just stopping the use of that phrase.

This constitutes a government that has gone beyond serious reputational damage

CNBC tries to make the story about a billing mistake of $108,895 on a student loan payment assessment by the Department of Education. However, the real story centers on a government that has gone well beyond its mandate.

As student loan bills restarted in October for tens of millions of Americans, the companies that service those loans made errors that potentially violate federal and state consumer protection laws.

In a memo quietly published Wednesday night on the U.S. Department of Education’s website, senior officials in the department’s office of Federal Student Aid detail how some of its servicers botched the return to repayment, and possibly put the government at “substantial reputational risk.”

Admittedly, the chance to eliminate this liberal program has flown

Still, this illustrates the incompetency of government to handle things that should be in the private sphere.

The fine print of Democrats’ plan to turn migrants into voters. Right now.

Fox News expposes the Democrat plan to turn illegal aliens into today’s voters — not voters in the future.

If you think offering migrants luxury hotel rooms, free meals, laundry service, transportation, health care and immigration lawyers is excessive, just wait until they can vote. Democrats are pushing to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections in New York City, Boston and other municipalities, as well as statewide in Connecticut.

The number of migrants pouring across the southern border hit a record high, according to data released Saturday. Illegal immigrant crossings soared 21 percent over the previous month. On a yearly basis, the figure hit 2.48 million.

Democrats may feign shock and distress. Don’t be fooled. Dems see these newcomers as their guarantee of a permanent voting majority in local elections. Not years from now, after the newcomers become citizens. Right now.

New York Mayor Eric Adams’ rhetoric is typical. He warns that the overwhelming number of migrants arriving — currently 16,000 to 17,000 a month — “will destroy New York City,” but he’s also leading the legal effort to turn migrants into voters. Adams and other New York Democrats pushed President Joe Biden to expedite work authorizations for them. They said it’s about making migrants self-sufficient. Maybe, but Dems have another powerful motive.

If you read the fine print of New York City’s “Our City, Our Vote” law, enacted in December 2021, it says that anyone with a work authorization who has been in the city for a mere 30 days can vote, even if they entered the country illegally.

Biden’s recent action fast-tracking work authorizations for Venezuelan border crossers, who make up about 41 percent of recent arrivals in New York City, will make tens of thousands of them eligible to vote under New York City’s new law, as soon as they obtain their working papers.

That is, if New York City’s voting law is allowed to go into effect. A big “if.” The law is tied up in court.

If we thought the surges of votes xeroxed at 4 a.m. were bad, just wait for the surges of votes from masses of illegal aliens mixed in with our own ballots

If you thought that the cheating by Biden was bad in 2020 and his response with razor wire around Washington (along with the National Guard troops who had been screened to be loyal to the little dictator), then wait for this round.

What has Joe Biden’s open border and weak policy gotten us?


The Department of Homeland Security employs a pro-Hamas individual who posts to social media regularly. Unlike those supporting pro-life causes, that person has not been fired.

Here’s what Mayorkas had to say about that employee and other supporters of Hamas

Townhall comments on the exchange between Senator Josh Hawley and DHS Secretary Mayorkas over a Hamas-supporting employee on the DHS payroll.

Under questioning from Republican Senator Josh Hawley Tuesday during a hearing in front of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas refused to take a position on whether pro-Hamas individuals in the U.S. on a visa should be sent back to their home countries. Mayorkas repeatedly referred to the situation as a “legal matter” and would not give a moral opinion on the situation.

Hawley’s questioning comes as pro-Hamas, pro-Jew killing rallies have broken out on college campuses across the country.

Over the weekend Jewish students at New York University were forced to lock themselves in the library and were offered a place to hide in the attic as Hamas supporters — screaming and chanting — attempted to enter the facility.

I support free speech; however, I also defend my employer’s reputation by not associating my employer with any of my views.

Because I support the free speech of all, I support the right of people to say stupid and hurtful things. However, because I work for a company that obviously exists in the public square, I do not say things that could be traced back to my employer or would do them great harm.

I would like my government to try to maintain the same standard for its employees. Don’t squelch their free speech; however, as employees of the people, don’t promote messages of hate and killing.

If you haven’t noticed “from the river to the sea” is a call for the killing of all Jews in Israel (just as “intifada” also calls for the deaths of Jews and Christians).

Man arrested in Houston supports killing Jews and studied how to build bombs

Houston CBS affiliate KHOU tells of the arrest of Sohaib Abuayyash, a Jordanian who overstayed a student visa and bought a firearm (prohibited for aliens).

FBI Director Chris Wray told Congress on Tuesday about a man arrested in Houston after he allegedly studied “how to build bombs and posted online about his support for killing Jews.”

We first told you about Sohaib Abuayyash, a 20-year-old Jordanian, on Oct. 20. FBI agents arrested him and charged him with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. But Wray said it went far beyond possessing a weapon.

“He has viewed specific and detailed content posted by radical organizations on the internet including lessons on how to construct bombs or explosive devices,” Wray told Congress. “And that defendant has made statements to others that support the killing of individuals of particular religious faiths.”

Abuayyash has not been charged with building explosives.

A federal judge in Houston has ordered Abuayyash to remain in custody, saying “he has viewed specific and detailed content posted by radical organizations on the internet including lessons on how to construct bombs or explosive devices; and that Defendant has made statements to others that support the killing of individuals of particular religious faiths.”

Abuayyash claimed to be a citizen of Jordan when he entered the U.S. in 2016. In 2019, he applied for asylum status as a Palestinian.

So the FBI has taken a break from surveilling parents speaking out at school board meetings?

Somehow, I don’t think this means that the FBI has stopped watching Trump supporters, surveilling parents, or stalking pro-life protesters. I just don’t.

One arrest of one illegal alien does not make a trend for the Biden regime. Still, as something that happened in Houston, it seems odd that this primarily came out as a national story when Wray mentioned the arrest during a Congressional hearing. Otherwise, Biden’s FBI would have been happy to keep this quiet for those who could have been attacked in Houston (assuming that this is a lone wolf).

Journalists get a peek at the depravity of Hamas

The Daily Wire was there when journalists were exposed to video not released to the public due to its sensitive nature.

Fox News host Martha MacCallum and other select journalists were shown a 43-minute collection of video footage from Hamas terrorists, security cameras, and social media, taken during the attack in Israel on October 7. Some of the graphic video footage, shown by the IDF, has not been made public out of respect for the victims’ families.

News reports indicate that the footage shows the murder, torture, and maiming of innocent men, women, and children by Hamas.

“Today we were shown the Hamas bodycam and other videos of the attacks of October 7th,” MacCallum posted to X on Friday. “There are no words to explain. It is to witness the darkest evil that can exist.”

“Hamas terrorists laugh and call home to boast how many Jews they killed ‘with their hands,’” she described. “Asking if their parents are proud? Humans bloodied, charred, ripped apart.”

“But it is the cries of the children that I will hear forever,” MacCallum added. “I share this with you because the world needs to know what happened. And so that you can imagine it, because I hope you never have to see it.”

If main stream media reporters attended, they must have fallen asleep before the video started.

If ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, or CNN attended this, they must have fallen asleep before the video started. All these reporters drone on about only centers on their pro-Palestinian narrative.

Biden’s busted border is a giant red carpet for terrorists

The Daily Caller provides a timeline of increasing border apprehensions of terrorists caused by Biden’s open borders and the resulting invitation to terrorists that this weakness displays.

Is Joe Biden trying to get us killed? His Nagasaki-like destruction of the southern “border” is like a mating call that lures terrorists to have their way with us.

Customs and Border Protection reports, 269,735 illegal aliens invaded America in September, a one-month record. Border Patrol agents apprehended 1,912,663 illegals during President Donald J. Trump’s final 32 months in office.

In Biden’s first 32, CBP encountered 6,292,849 illegals — up a staggering 329%. Even worse, some 1.5 million Known Gotaways appeared in Border Patrol binoculars before disappearing into the homeland.

These illegals were detected and counted, albeit not stopped. Unknown Gotaways break into America invisibly and then vanish. How many? Where? Who knows?

Maddeningly, Biden’s murder of the U.S.-Mexico border (1848-2021) goes even deeper.

Since Trump departed, southern-frontier incursions have soared among illegals in the Terrorist Screening Dataset. Consider these fiscal year apprehensions:

2017 – 2

2018 – 6

2019 – 0

2020 – 3

2021 – 15

2022 – 98

2023 – 169

Border Patrol caught only 11 terrorists trying to penetrate America’s boundaries under Trump. Under Biden? 282 — up an alarming 2,464%.

Also nailed on the “border,” as Biden watched: 73,008 Special Interest Aliens from 12 terror-tainted countries. Between Oct. 1, 2021, and Oct. 4, 2023, these illegals hailed from:

Afghanistan – 6,386

Egypt – 3,153

Iran – 659

Iraq – 123

Jordan – 185

Lebanon – 164

Mauritania – 15,594

Pakistan – 1,613

Syria – 538

Turkey – 30,830

Uzbekistan – 13,624

Yemen – 139

This month alone, through Oct. 14, illegals have busted in from:

Afghanistan – 285

China – Nearly 2,000

Iran – 30+

Pakistan – 35

Russia – 100+

Syria – Nearly 60

These numbers mean potentially massive trouble, especially since Hamas’ unprovoked slaughter of innocent Israelis on Oct. 7 cranked the Middle Eastern cauldron to boil.

And these are just the ones dumb enough to get caught. Who (except Iran) knows how many jihadis got through?

Considering the bold threats Iran’s koran-waving president made against the United States, who but Iran knows how many jihadis they have installed in through the Democrat cheesecloth border?

Serving in Biden’s armed forces: twenty-five attacks endured in two weeks balanced by one response with a drone

Fox News seems to be the only news outlet reporting on the 25 attacks against American forces abroad or the one responding attack by the Biden regime.

U.S. forces in western Iraq were targeted in another drone attack early Tuesday morning, according to a report, marking the latest in a string of assaults on American troops in the Middle East as the Israel-Hamas war continues.

Two armed drones were used against Iraq’s Ain al-Asad airbase, Reuters reported, citing a security source and a government source. The base hosts international troops that assist Iraq in defeating a terror group called the Daesh, or the Islamic State. No casualties or damage were reported.

Tuesday’s attack would make the 25th on U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria since Oct. 17. The attacks have included a mix of one-way drones and rockets, resulting in the death of an American contractor and 24 injured troops, according to U.S. defense officials.

The attacks have increased in recent weeks as President Biden and other senior leaders continue to express support for Israel and its right to defend itself after one of the worst terror attacks in decades left more than 1,400 people dead, including 34 Americans.

(continued)

In response to earlier attacks, U.S. military forces last week conducted “self-defense strikes on two facilities in eastern Syria used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups,” Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin said Thursday.

Jake Sullivan: “We will respond”

CBS News carries the water for Jake Sullivan as he claims America will respond if attacked. What? Once every nineteen or twenty-five times?

MARGARET BRENNAN: Before I let you go, do you now believe Iran is deterred?

JAKE SULLIVAN: Well, what I believe is that the United States will follow through on what we say we’re going to do. We said that if our troops were attacked, we would respond, we responded. If they’re attacked again, we will respond again. And we are vigilant, because we are seeing elevated threats against our forces throughout the region, and an elevated risk of this conflict spreading to other parts of the region. We are doing everything in our power to deter and prevent that. But I’m not going to predict what the future brings, other than to say that if we are attacked, we will respond.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Jake Sullivan, thank you for your time. And Face the Nation. We’ll be back in one minute. Stay with us.

This is what pure propaganda looks like.

The reality: antisemitic attacks increase in America

Even left-wing oulets like PBS have started to admit that antisemitism has been driven to new highs by the importation of antisemitic crowds.

Antisemitism rose in the U.S. in 2022 and shows little sign of abating worldwide as political radicals have gained mainstream popularity, researchers said in a report released Monday.

(continued)

The researchers found that visibly identifiable Jews, particularly ultra-Orthodox Jews, who are also known as haredi Jews, are the primary targets of antisemitic violence in the West.

“Haredi Jews are the main victims not only because they are easily identifiable as Jews, but also because they are perceived as vulnerable and unlikely to fight back,” the report said.

The rise in Jew-hatred in the U.S. is not limited to white supremacists. It said that “the antisemitism of the far-right and far-left are pushing into the mainstream of American culture and politics from both sides.”

So — just like Biden doesn’t blame the criminal, but the victim — this liberal outlet blames the Jews

Just as Biden wants to ban the gun, but release the criminal — these liberals want to blame the orthodox Jews, but don’t seem to mention the anti-Jewish and anti-Christian actions of the hoards of Muslims that Biden and Obama have imported.

Maybe now might be a nice time to take a trip down memory road in Bunkerville, where we might see some attacks by Muslims on peoples of other faiths.

What we miss when we call the Oct. 7 massacre a “pogrom”

The Forward explains the October 7 attack and the following events from the perspective of those who find themselves at the center of the attacks.

Pogrom.

Rarely has just one word done so much to join together so many pundits and politicians. Since the events of Oct. 7, a term we associated with the mostly distant past, spanning the medieval Crusades and modern Czars, has become commonplace. In our country, liberals and conservatives, Jews and non-Jews, Republicans and Democrats have all invoked the word “pogrom” to describe Hamas’ massacre in Israel of more than 1,300 men, women and children.

There is little reason to wonder over the insistent iteration of this word, especially for American Jews of Russian ancestry. No single word better captures the searing reality of Jewish life in Russia from the late 19th to early 20th centuries than pogrom. It derives from verbpogromit’, the Russian verb for break or attack, and applies to the breaking and attacking of Russian Jews from 1881 and the assassination of Czar Alexander II to 1905 and the bloody events in Kishniev.

Maybe, like many things liberal, this article is trying to push the violent act against a people into the past.

Yes, it was an attack. And that, at the root of the Russian word, is what is meant.

However, unlike the old event, this is a current happening. Maybe people, including some in Israel referring to it as a pogrom, want to put it into the past.

Nonetheless, we would not be here without Biden’s and Obama’s theory that American interests (like Israel) need to be diminished and other powers (like Iran) need to be brought up in power to balance out our diminishment so that there exists a new balance without America.

Thanks to the policies of the Obama and Biden regimes, the new axis of rvil — Russia, China, North Korea, Iran — have come up to pose a worldwide existential threat

The Gatestone Institute observes the damage of the unproven theories put into practice by the Obama and Biden regimes.

  • The Biden administration… is also financing the ruling mullahs of Iran with billions of dollars to put the finishing touches on the country’s nuclear program and for delivering more weapons to Russia with which to attack Ukraine.
  • “We’re sitting still, and the Chinese, the Russians, Iran, North Korea, and several others, are moving to shore up their relations and threaten us in a lot of different places.” — Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton, The Hill, March 12, 2023.
  • Since Russia invaded Ukraine, the Biden administration seems to be allowing Iran’s ruling mullahs to prosper from the war and emerge as the winners.
  • “I have a question for you – how does Russia pay Iran for this, in your opinion? Is Iran just interested in money? Probably not money at all, but Russian assistance to the Iranian nuclear program. Probably, this is exactly the meaning of their alliance” — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Jerusalem Post, November 4, 2022.
  • “Today, China, Russia, North Korea and Iran continue to invest in technologies to expand their capabilities to hit the United States with nuclear weapons. All four countries have also escalated their threatening rhetoric, indicating their willingness to use nuclear weapons in a military conflict. By expanding their nuclear programs, each has made clear that our nuclear arsenal is no longer a deterrent to their potential use of nuclear weapons.” — U.S. Rep. Mike Turner, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, Fox News, May 4, 2023.
  • Thanks to the Obama and Biden administrations’ monumental capitulations to Iran’s regime — and the refusal of both administrations not only to stop Iran’s nuclear weapons program but also to prevent anyone else from stopping it — the Russian-Iranian-Chinese-North Korean alliance now poses a global existential threat.

Not only is the Biden administration turning a blind eye on the growing alliance between Iran, Russia, China and North Korea, and looking the other way on their evasions of sanctions, it is also financing the ruling mullahs of Iran with billions of dollars to put the finishing touches on the country’s nuclear program and for delivering more weapons to Russia with which to attack Ukraine.

“We’re sitting still, and the Chinese, the Russians, Iran, North Korea, and several others, are moving to shore up their relations and threaten us in a lot of different places,” former US National Security Advisor John Bolton recently warned.

“It’s an indication that the Saudis and others are trying to hedge their bets with China and Russia, because they don’t think the United States has the resolve and the fortitude necessary to do what they need to do to protect the world against Iran and its intentions. The Chinese have a strategy they’ve been following. We kind of wander around from day to day.”

Iran is currently producing more oil and selling it at levels close to the pre-sanctions era to countries such as China, which desperately needs more oil. China, North Korea and Russia have also been upgrading and expanding their nuclear arsenals. The Iranian regime, now that it is aligned with Putin’s Russia and the Chinese Communist Party, would probably be delighted to conquer the US and Israel.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine, the Biden administration seems to be allowing Iran’s ruling mullahs to prosper from the war and emerge as the winners. Iran has become a major weapons exporter to Russia – and not limited to exporting just drones. Iran’s arms exports to Russia are providing the mullahs with a great opportunity to perfect their military systems as well as to profit financially.

The Iranian regime, of course, needs something more in return from Russia than just putting the finishing touches on its nuclear weapons program. Militarily speaking, Russia is moving to provide advanced military equipment to Iran’s regime, such as air defense systems, helicopters and fighter jets. This can only make the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism — which chants “Death to America,” “Death to Israel,” and freely murders its own citizens – an even stronger expansionist state.

David Barnea, director of Israel’s Mossad, warned on September 11, 2023:

“I have a feeling that more deals will be interdicted soon. We are concerned that the Russians will meet Iran’s demands to supply it with weapons and raw materials that will put Israel at risk.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also previously warned:

“I have a question for you – how does Russia pay Iran for this, in your opinion? Is Iran just interested in money? Probably not money at all, but Russian assistance to the Iranian nuclear program. Probably, this is exactly the meaning of their alliance.”

If Russia succeeds in helping Iran acquire nuclear bombs, this is an existential threat not only to Israel, but also to the US and its allies.

After all, one of the core pillars of the Islamic Republic of Iran has been to destroy both the United States (“the Great Satan“) the Jewish state (“the Little Satan“).
