Gavin Newsom spent $189 million to give every state prison inmate a free iPad. Child predator Nathaniel Diaz allegedly used it to stalk, control, and exploit a minor on the outside. In the name of "digital equity," Newsom gave convicted pedophiles a new way to commit crimes.

It's Medicare and Medicaid. It's been going on for decades. NONE of this is new because fraudsters learn from the successes of past fraudsters. That which is not stopped is emulated. The US is the a fraudster's Nirvana -- they come from all over the world to rip off US social welfare programs because we have deep pockets of money and we give it away so freely. There are only 2 solutions: 1. Give away FAR LESS money; 2. Put far more time and resources into stopping the fraud in real-time -- not months/years after it happens. Posts on "X" don't accomplish either.

@RealTheoWold What?!?😣😣🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

The OPT program is one of the biggest scams that we have in our immigration laws. It allows foreign students on F-1 visas to work entry level jobs in the U.S. for 1-3 years after they graduate and they are exempt from payroll taxes, which means corporations get a large tax break when they hire one over an American citizen. It was also was never authorized by Congress, but created in 1992 by the DOJ and is maintained by nameless, faceless bureaucrats within the executive branch. It's long past time for it to end.

@wrong_speak Wow praise the Lord!🙏🙏🙏 blessings to you both! Thx for sharing this amazing answer to prayer!

Since I was baptized in 2024, I would have candid discussions with my wife about her beliefs and if she had any interest in getting baptized. And recently, a string of events has brought my wife to genuinely want Jesus in her life. It all started with a prayer following a conversation with other Christians who are in my life. They’re familiar with my wife and asked me where she stood on her journey. I explained to them that I’m not worried, but there is this mental hurdle that she has where she believes she’s either not worthy or she needs to do something to have Jesus in her life. So it’s understood, I’ve never compelled my wife or pushed her into wanting Jesus Christ as her savior. All I do is talk to her and ask her questions. I figure with information and testimony, she can make up her own mind. Part of the reason I wasn’t worried is because I can see the many ways that God was reaching out to her already. She’s not entirely familiar with the Bible and when she was in a difficult situation, she received scripture that she wasn’t familiar with and it directly related to what she was going through; I don’t believe in coincidences. After that call with friends, I vividly remember walking my dog outside with the sun shining and I started talking to God. I prayed that He would help to bring my wife closer to Him. It was a silent prayer that came from the heart. Later that day, my wife came home from work and asked if I wanted to go to the gym in our complex, to which I agreed. I was wearing a t-shirt that has a Christian phrase on it while walking on the treadmill. When we entered the gym, there was a woman that we’ve never interacted with there who was also on the treadmill next to me. If my memory serves me, I might have seen her once before but my wife has never seen her before. We had small talk and then continued with our workouts. I finished early and left my wife to continue her routine. When my wife came home, she began telling me how this mysterious woman engaged in a conversation with her based on the shirt I was wearing. Then the words came out of her mouth: “She invited us to her church. Do you want to go?” Immediately, I knew it was the Lord working through people to reach out to my wife. Of course, I agreed. A couple of weeks later, we went to the church and immediately felt comfortable, like we were supposed to be there. I had been struggling to find a church and completely overlooked this place. I’ve been to several churches when I was young. It just felt like a place that was empty, not entirely alive; kind of hard to explain. But this place felt different. It had a spirit about it and moments of love and beauty that would force me to hold back tears. Even better, Michele felt the same exact way. We walked out and she expressed how she felt renewed, as did I. The following week, we went back and part of me was wondering if this was an emotional fluke on my part; it wasn’t. The second time attending was even stronger than before. When the pastor began his sermon, it directly shot at my wife’s biggest struggle and I could hear her gasp. I don’t believe in coincidences anymore and I knew it was a sign. After coming home, we talked about what we thought of the service and then after a pause in our conversation she said the words: “I am ready to get baptized.” I always had faith that she would want this because I could see how He was reaching out to her, even when she couldn’t see it. Oddly enough, we’ve yet to see this woman since she invited us to the church. I prayed for my wife to completely open her heart to Jesus because I know how much doing this has transformed my life for the better and given me clarity about life that I didn’t possess prior; I wanted the same for her. I wanted her to find salvation through Jesus Christ because I love her with all my heart. So, next time someone says that prayer doesn’t work and it’s just wishful thinking, tell them about this story.

We've filed the first lawsuit following the Louisiana Callais SCOTUS case. Our client alleges the Illinois Voting Rights Act of 2011's redistricting mandates violate the 15th Amendment and Section 2a of the national Voting Rights Act of 1965. @JBPritzker explicitly adopted racial purposes behind redistricting guidelines, namely sorting and allocating political power based on race. 🧵

Being single is not the same as being lonely. Loneliness is not about your relationship status, it’s about your sense of connection. Jesus Himself was unmarried, yet He was never defined by loneliness. He often stepped away from the crowds to be alone, and was fully satisfied in His relationship with the Father. You were created for relationship: with God and with others. Your identity and worth are not incomplete because you’re single. When have you felt the difference between being alone and being lonely? Share this reel with someone who needs a deeper perspective on singleness. Our teens are being discipled every day by culture, screens, and social media. The Holy Sexuality Project exists to help parents disciple their teens intentionally and biblically, starting with what it actually means to follow Jesus. THSP is a gospel-centered video series for teens and preteens, designed for real conversations at home, and it’s available now for $20.

Pope Leo XIV bestowed the Vatican’s highest diplomatic honor upon the Islamic Republic’s Ambassador, Ayatollah Mohammad Hossein Mokhtari. The man is part of a regime that slaughtered 42,000 of its own people and imposes the death penalty on Muslims who convert to Christianity.

Great article. Public-sector unions are one of the worst scourges on the body politic in America. Profoundly anti-democratic, they run a sort of legalized graft as follows: 1. Public employees get paid via taxpayer dollars. 2. But a portion of those dollars are skimmed off as union dues. 3. The union dues are then contributed to Democrat politicians. 4. Democrat politicians then make sure there are more public sector union jobs with more benefits and better pay than anything in the private sector. 5. Wash, rinse, repeat. Basically, taxpayers are paying for their own demise. ***Legalized graft***

Muslim Independents Take over 100 Councillor Seats in England | Márton Losonczi, Hungarian Conservative Last week’s local elections in the United Kingdom resulted in the unequivocal triumph of Nigel Farage’s right-wing populist Reform UK Party, which picked up 1,451 councillor seats across England, and fared well in elections in left-wing strongholds Scotland and Wales as well.. However, some far-left and Islamist candidates have also gained support, which should give some caution to the right-wingers celebrating the results on the British Isles. We have reported on the transgender non-UK citizen candidate named Q Manivannan, who was elected to the Scottish Parliament. Furthermore, a number of independent Muslim candidates have also secured over 100 seats for themselves in local councils across England. ‘One of the under-reported stories of the local elections is the steady growth of Muslim independents. Including Lutfur Rahman’s Aspire in Tower Hamlets, east London, at least 100 such councillors were elected last week, adding to the dozens already in place and the four independent Muslim MPs elected in 2024. What links has this new “Islamopopulist” movement to Islamism and other ideologies hostile to democracy?,’ the British paper The Spectator writes in an online piece about the phenomenon. Around 6.5 per cent of the total British population is Muslim, according to the latest estimates. England has the highest concentration of Muslims. By comparison, in Scotland and Wales, only about two per cent of the population is that religious minority. In Northern Ireland, that number is just 0.6 per cent, according to the 2021 census. The Muslim population has been on a steady upward trend in the United Kingdom. In the 2001 census, only 2.7 per cent of the population were self-identified Muslims; while in the 2011 census, 4.8 per cent of the residents identified as followers of Islam. As we wrote above, today, the size of the Muslim population in the UK is around 6.5 per cent. In the capital city of London, it is even higher, around 16 per cent.

BREAKING: A new report compiled by over 430 witnesses, survivors, experts and medical staff of October 7th reveal new never before told horrors. Women were stripped, bound, stabbed, shot, and burned. They were executed both during and after rape. Heads were decapitated. Pelvic bones shattered. Even after death, sexual assault continued. At Kibbutz Be'eri, nails, sharp objects, and pieces of metal and plastic were similarly embedded in a woman whose body was discovered naked and bound. On another victim, grenades were used. Men were also sexually assaulted, with at least one case of gang rape occurring. The horrors are truly barbaric.

What's going on across New York tonight is a disgrace. A sickening display that should embarrass every 'leader' in our city government. A phalanx of 500 police officers should not be needed to protect a synagogue from a violent mob of masked jihadis carrying the flags of designated terror organizations. Make no mistake -- this is exactly what Mamdani was elected to facilitate. It had nothing to do with free busses or public services or the 'working class' or anything else lied about during his campaign. It was always about a revolutionary vanguard led by the Islamist-Marxist alliance to bring chaos to their political enemies in naked power plays that are meant to clearly announce who's now in charge here. When they say 'every issue is Palestine' this is what they mean. When they say 'globalize the intifada' this is what they mean. This is it. This is what New York now has to look forward to. And it's going to get much worse. For Jews, for homeowners, for businesses, for executives and banks and restaurants and everyone who isn't part of their radical nexus. Nobody is safe. Everyone will be targeted. And they will continue to escalate, likely until they start killing people. All as the mayor looks on and smiles. Our City Council should now call for a massive investigation into who organizes and funds these groups with the exact same vigor they used to futilely investigate 'islamophobia' on social media. But they won't, because they already know the answer and don't have any real interest in stopping any of it. Fact is your tax dollars fund a great deal of this illegal activity through New York's multibillion dollar nonprofit-industrial complex, and a great many staffers and appointees of both the Mamdani administration and the City Council have close ties to these people. You get exactly the government you vote for, and the fact is a shocking number of New Yorkers want exactly this kind of terror to permeate our streets. And for that, they elected exactly the man for the job. Be prepared for what comes next. Because it's not going to get any better.

@MrsDrPublius Excellent 🙏🙏

Good Morning!! Welcome to our daily scripture break.  We will continue with our examination of our original scripture from yesterday. It's a long post but I think it's worth it. Ephesians 4:31-32: "Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Yesterday, I suggested each of you select one or two of the negative emotions/actions listed in verse 31 and perform a scripture search.  I shared with you my “thorn in the flesh” if you will - it's bitterness. We are expected to rid ourselves of these negative emotions/actions. It wasn’t a suggestion.  So, I have to ask myself, why am I carrying this burden around if God wants me to get rid of it?  To be honest, I’m still upset about something that happened to me in the past (because it’s an indicator of how certain family members view me now) and more importantly, I believe future injury is possible with them. In my mind, I know I should let it go - forgive and let God handle it.  Here’s the problem: every time I am forced to interact with these individuals I’m on guard because I know they aren’t remorseful for any past poor behavior and they'll find other ways to take advantage of me or injure me if I let my guard down.  They expect me to fall into the same dysfunctional roles and patterns we experienced growing up as kids (frozen in time) - but I'm not that person anymore.  God has saved me from that toxic circumstance and I won’t go back. And there's the rub - if you’ve been delivered out of a quagmire you shouldn't return to the same trough.  If you know someone will hurt you based on previous experience, how should you appropriately respond, especially if you're related to them? I believe that’s why I have bitterness towards them. They will injure me again and again if I allow them. So, where should I begin? First, it would be unwise not to recognize the negative behavior patterns that are clearly present in these individuals.  After prayerful consideration, HERE’S the key, I must ask for forgiveness for my own sin (the negative feelings I have toward them) and trust the Holy Spirit to guide me in these situations and follow the Word. Why? My first allegiance is to my Lord and Savior; I need to garner my attention on the Lord not protecting myself.  Bitterness keeps me focused on my hurt, my injury.  I must trust God to protect me from harm and I must not avenge any wrongdoing committed against me. Next, as an act of my will; forgive their past wrongs against me and cast them onto the Lord. Third, prayerfully accept that God’s grace and mercy are sufficient for any circumstance. (II Cor 12:7-10) And finally, anchor these steps in God’s Word. I encourage everyone to get quiet and closely peer into the secret part of your heart, be honest with yourself and DECIDE to follow God’s Word; get rid of your “thorn” as an act of obedience. Bitterness is quite dangerous because it can quickly grow like kudzu and invade other aspects of your life. The invasive tentacles of bitterness can infuse fear and anxiety into our hearts; curbing the joy and confidence in our Lord and thwarting our effort to love others. Let’s examine some of the exhortations to eliminate bitterness in our lives. In Psalm 37:8 it says, “ Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret - it leads only to evil.” I can’t overemphasize the importance of recognizing the real problem.  The injury inflicted upon you is for God to deal with not you.  The Word of God instructs us to properly dispose of OUR negative responses to the injury inflicted upon us.  I know this isn’t easy but when you examine why the Lord asks us to forgive - it really is for our benefit. Unresolved anger can progress into bitterness. Ephesians 4:26-27 is one of best defenses against bitterness, "In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.”  Anger is a powerful emotion. It’s unrealistic to believe you will never get angry but once again, it’s how you master your emotions so they don’t control you. If we don’t prayerfully control our response, we are giving the devil a foothold into our lives. That’s why Ephesians 4:31 instructs us to “get rid of ALL bitterness (which is rooted in anger) . . .” This isn’t an all inclusive list of scriptures addressing bitterness but here’s a framework for a basic understanding of how erosive bitterness is for us. 1. Hebrews 12:15 2. Romans 3:14 (read the full chapter for context) 3. Colossians 3:8 4. Proverbs 14:10 Forgiveness keeps us in communion with Jesus; so actively purge bitterness from your heart. Here are some scriptures encouraging us to keep our hearts repentant before the Lord. 5.   Romans 12:19 6.   Matthew 6:14-15 7.   Psalms 119:133 8.   Hebrews 4:16 9.   I John 1:9 10. Proverbs 20:22 11. Colossians 3:13 12. Psalm 55:22 13. Matthew 5:23-24 (As far as it is up to you reconcile - you repent of your wrongdoing and forgive the offender. It's not God’s Will to invite toxic people (including relatives) back inside your hedge of protection to harm you.  How will you know if they are repentant - you will know them by their fruits). I know this may be difficult especially with relatives. Be a light of encouragement to them. Continue to pray for them and let the Holy Spirit guide you on the who, what, when, where of properly engaging them. 14. Psalm 34:18 In light of these scriptures, any of the negative emotions/actions listed in our original verse Ephesians 4:31 are very poor reasons to ignore God’s call to get rid of them - expunge them from our lives. Remember the just nature of God; He doesn't allow any unabsolved sin to go unpunished including our sin. Prioritize your allegiance to the Lord over your own injury that is what God is asking in Ephesians 4:31. In Romans 8:18 it says, “I consider these present sufferings are not worth comparing to the glory that will be revealed in us.” Praise the Lord. This study has really benefitted me personally; I pray it was beneficial for you. Whatever you are struggling to purge yourself of, Romans 8:18 is your anchor. May God bless you. Peace and be prepared.

@LarryTaunton @nicksortor Awesome!!👏 👏

Proud papa here, @nicksortor. My son Michael was the lead attorney along with the AL AG’s office in this case. This SCOTUS ruling was a huge victory!

@robbystarbuck 😣😣

They separately found child sexual abuse on this illegal’s phone after the rape AND he tried to solicit a child for sex. All of that PLUS a violent rape and he only got 4 and a half years in jail. The health of our nation can be measured by the sentences we give to monsters like this. He should be in the electric chair. We’re a sick nation until people like him receive appropriate consequences. The next MAGA wave of politicians must make this a national priority.
