"God is going to deliver us, but He is going to do it in such a way as that He gets the glory. And by “He,” I am not referring to the pasty, enervated, etiolated, and anemic god of American civic religion. I am referring to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."

"And he who is not sufficiently courageous even to defend his soul—don't let him be proud of his “progressive” views, don't let him boast that he is an academician or a people's artist, a merited figure, or a general—let him say to himself: I am in the herd, and a coward. It's all the same to me as long as I'm fed and warm." - Alexander Solzhenitsyn (https://www.orthodoxytoday.org/articles/SolhenitsynLies.php)

First time on the range with a handgun. Not too shabby. #OldDogNewTrick #PewPew

I guess sacrificing women's sports is a small price to pay for getting rid of Trump's mean tweets, right? 🙄

Really good stuff in this report. None of it is really new, but it's helpful to have it all explained in a single, relatively short document (45 pages).

Be sure to download it before Kamala and her crew scrub it off the WH web site tomorrow!

You can't separate religion from politics. The only question is, which God(s) will our government honor? The God who sent His Son to set us free? Or the gods who demands we offer our sons and daughters to them?

I'm about as pro-vax as a person can be. I get a flu shot every year, and my daughter has received all the recommended childhood vaccinations. And I'm not endorsing any other views on the web site which posted this article. But there's an important fact here that hasn't gotten much attention in the legacy media.

While the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine reduced confirmed infections by 95%, it only reduced "suspected cases" by 12%. Combine that with a higher than usual incidence of side effects, and I would be hesitant to recommend this vaccine to any healthy, low-risk person. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/peter-doshi-pfizer-moderna-vaccines-need-more-details-raw-data/

Thought for the day...

All those "fact check" warnings that other social media sites put on your posts are not intended to change your mind. They are intended to keep the people who already accept their narrative blissfully asleep.

The only such foundation I'm aware of is the Bible.

Here's something I've learned from the Trump years. There's an important difference between being respectable and seeking respect.

Certain conservative/Republican leaders have long been desperate for respect from the elites (in the news media, entertainment, etc.) Same goes for some Christian leaders who idolize respect from the world. But as Ferris Bueller put it, "[Y]ou can't respect somebody who kisses your ass. It just doesn't work."

Trump showed us what can be accomplished by someone who doesn't care what his adversaries think of him. But ultimately, he still lacked respectability (largely because he lacked integrity).

What we desperately need are leaders who are full of integrity, *and* don't care what other people think of them. For this, you need a foundation to stand on which is outside yourself, and which is not under the control of your enemies. You must submit to be judged by that foundation, but refuse to be judged by someone else's arbitrary standard.

1. Facebook and Twitter have banned President Trump.
2. Google has banned alternative social media app Parler from their app store, and Apple is likely to follow.
3. It's a historical fact that one of the first things tyrannical regimes do after a coup is seize the means of communication. 👀
