Gen. Caine and Adm. Cooper should put a statement now making clear the U.S. military will not follow orders that would mean committing war crimes, including military actions whose purpose would be to destroy a country or a civilization.
🚨 JUST IN: An absolutely TERRIFYING fire has erupted at a California warehouse in Ontario
Firefighters are actively responding right now to the six-alarm fire
"It is all hands on deck as they try to contain the blaze."
Real problem in hospitals, staff putting up with abusive visitors who think their patient isn’t getting enough attention, or staff is hiding info from the family (visitors).
I’m amazed to see security being called to remove people.
May be a bigger city problem, however medical folks I know say that it’s far more frequent about everywhere, and yes, more so since COVID.
Good Morning,
Let’s pause for a daily scripture break.
I Corinthians 10:13,
“ No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”
Sometimes, as I’m reading other posts or comments to my posts I sense people are tired of resisting the relentless onslaught and pervasiveness of demonic activity in our culture. It sometimes feels like we are overwhelmed and surrounded by evil. I’ve found this particularly true since COVID. There's a palpable decline in the civility and cordiality of the American public. People act as if they can just dump their ill ire in your lap and the receiving person just had to take it. Have you observed businesses posting reminders to customers poor behavior towards the business’ staff will not be tolerated? I’ve also unfortunately noted a marked uptick in narcissistic behavior in people - people are rude, abusive, entitled, and dismissive of the consequences of their objectionable behavior.
When I'm frustrated with being on the receiving end of poor behavior by others and I’m tempted to return the favor, and I often struggle with it - but I try to remind myself of this verse, I Cor 10:13. Please read the verse again. What is this verse telling us?
First, I’m not the only person experiencing unjustified abusive behavior by others - it is “common to mankind”. On some conscious level, when you remind yourself this is simply a common occurrence then mentally you can compartmentalize the frustration which is paramount in maintaining your inner peace.
Secondly, the next phrase of the scripture gives us hope by outlining how we can rely on God to help us through situations such as these. God is “faithful", He won’t allow us to "be tempted beyond our breaking point", and He will also "provide an avenue of escape" from the traps Satan sets in our lives so we can “endure it”. This verse is much more than a pacifying verse to quiet us and allow others to behave poorly.
Some may question, why do we as Christians have to “endure” these temptations? I Peter 1:7 reveals the answer - it says,” these trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold - though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world."
I Cor 10:13 prompts us to reinforce some of the topics we’ve reviewed in past posts such as relying on your inner circle for strength when circumstances become so toxic you want to throw in the towel; allow the Holy Spirit to “bring appropriate biblical verses to your remembrance” (John 14: 26). When I am feeling emotionally down about difficult challenges in my life, I know that’s a sign I need refueling. Renew your mind in the scriptures daily (Romans 12:2), put on the full Armor of God (Ephesians 6:13-17), daily prayer and reflection with the Lord (Mark 1:5) are powerful tools to sustain us.
All of us know, the attacks won’t stop until we leave this planet. Avail yourself and cultivate the fruits of the Holy Spirit which arm you to successfully navigate the trials of life. (Gal 5:22-23, Eph 6:16, James 4:7, John 16:33)
God will never abandon us. Rest in His love.
Peace and be prepared.
BREAKING: The Bank of France says it has pulled the remaining gold held in New York and replaced it with a similar amount of gold bars in its vaults in Paris.
My youngest son, 6, has started doing one of those things that's so special you just know you'll remember it until you die.
He grabs my hand, drags me to his bedroom, closes the door and then pulls out a notepad.
"Daddy, will you write 'loving notes' with me."
He will then write his message. It's usually like, "I love daddy so much" — except imagine it in 6 year old handwriting.
Then it's my turn: "Austin is strong and brave and I love him to the moon and back."
He'll want to repeat this process about 10 times before I call it. Ngl, "loving notes" is me new favorite thing.
One day, God-willing, I'll be an old man laying in a bed reminiscing about doing "loving notes" with my little son. I'm in the good old days.
A court just rejected Activist Judge Hannah Dugan’s appeal.
Her felony conviction for helping an illegal alien dodge DHS agents and skip deportation has been officially upheld.
Lock her up!
No one is above the law.
🚨 BOOM: Katie Miller says it, Trump and Sec. Rubio are revoking visas for nearly 4,000 Iranian elites living in the US.
No more double standards. These regime favorites don’t get to enjoy our safety and prosperity anymore.
Send them home!
🔥🚨JUST IN: A 100-year-old World War II veteran performs a chin-up on a tank barrel.
The event is part of an honor trip.
It marks the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.
Look, I get it, Dems.
You think buying Greenland is dumb.
You think trash-talking NATO is dumb.
You think Hegseth firing generals is dumb.
You think bombing Iran is dumb.
Fine. Maybe you’re right. Maybe you’re wrong. I’ll buy you a beer and we can argue about it.
But that’s not the point.
Every administration in American history has done dumb things.
Jefferson had an embargo that tanked his own economy.
LBJ had Vietnam.
Carter sold the Panama Canal for $1.
W. had “Mission Accomplished.”
Obama had…. where do I even begin?
Dumb is bipartisan. Dumb is American. Dumb is fine. DC runs on dumb decisions.
What NONE of them ever did, what is truly, mind-melting, pants-on-head, clown-car-fire, galaxy-brained, lead-paint-chip-eating, 50-IQ-Neanderthal-ripping-a-bong dumb, was pay NGOs by the busload to smuggle tens of millions of people, including actual convicted criminals, across a border we spent trillions pretending to defend, then hand them free four-star hotels, free cell phones, free ATM cards, and a court date in 2031 they were never going to show up for.
That is not a policy. That is a SNL cold open someone forgot to write a punchline for.
A five-year-old with a juice box could tell you that was Bozo-the-Clown-on-crack, Weekend-at-Bernie’s-running-DHS, “hold-my-beer-I’m-gonna-try-something” levels of stupid. My golden retriever could have run a tighter border. A Magic 8-Ball would have outperformed the entire Biden interagency.
That’s the new threshold, Democrats.
That’s the low-water mark. That’s the floor. That is the Mariana Trench of public policy and you personally rented the Titan submersible.
Argue all you want about the Strait of Hormuz. Write your op-eds. Go on cable TV with Tom Nichols. Clutch your pearls about Greenland.
But until Trump proposes something even half as mind-bendingly, bone-crushingly, civilization-forfeitingly brain-dead as what Biden and Kamala did with our borders, I genuinely do not care.
Zero F’s given by me.
