The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous...

The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous
    and his ears toward their cry.
 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
    to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears
    and delivers them out of all their troubles.
 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
    and saves the crushed in spirit.

 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
    but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
 He keeps all his bones;
    not one of them is broken.
 Affliction will slay the wicked,
    and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
 The Lord redeems the life of his servants;
    none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
-Psalm 34:15-22

My Jesus, I Love Thee...

 
My Jesus, I Love Thee 
Darlene Zschech

My Jesus I love Thee I know Thou art mine
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign
My gracious Redeemer my Saviour art Thou
If ever I loved Thee my Jesus 'tis now

I love Thee because Thou has first loved me
And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow
If ever I loved Thee my Jesus 'tis now

I'll love Thee in life I will love Thee in death
And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath
And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow
If ever I loved Thee my Jesus 'tis now

I love You Jesus
I'll always love You
Now and forever
I belong to You

In mansions of glory and endless delight
I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow
If ever I loved Thee my Jesus 'tis now

I lift up my eyes to the hills...

I lift up my eyes to the hills.
  From where does my help come?
 My help comes from the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth.

 He will not let your foot be moved;
    he who keeps you will not slumber.
 Behold, he who keeps Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.

 The Lord is your keeper;
    the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
 The sun shall not strike you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

 The Lord will keep you from all evil;
    he will keep your life.
 The Lord will keep
    your going out and your coming in
    from this time forth and forevermore.
-Psalm 121

Suspect in Charlie Kirk shooting identified as Tyler Robinson  Authorities identified the suspect as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who was arrested in southern Utah.
   The governor said a family member of the suspect reached out to a family friend, who then contacted authorities with information indicating Robinson had “confessed to them or had implied that he had committed the incident.”

Utah Governor Spencer Cox said that a family member of Robinson's reached out to a family friend who contacted the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

Spicer Compares Charlie Kirk Assassination to Attempts on Trump: 'They're Going After the Movement'   ...“when you go after Donald Trump and try to kill him twice — they’re not just going after people who are activists, they’re going after leaders of movements and trying to stop them”


  • Build — Create strong families, faith, and parallel institutions.
  • Live — Speak boldly, show courage, model real tolerance.
  • Engage — Vote, run locally, tell better stories, use joy.
  • Starve — Cut off money and attention to corrupt institutions.
  • Strike — Expose hypocrisy, boycott rot, refuse cooperation.
Everyone can do something; it is up to you to find your thing and make it count.

   Let’s roll.

What's Going On With Teachers Celebrating Charlie Kirk's Death?  Remember: these are the people educating your children in public school and in the universities, and they're celebrating the murder of someone who traveled to college campuses to engage in good-faith debates about politics.

Charlie Kirk is dead because 1 in 3 students support violence against opposing speakers.

Colorado High School Shooter ‘Radicalized by Some Extremist Network,’ Sheriff’s Office Says    The teenage boy who shot two schoolmates and then himself at a high school in Evergreen, Colorado, Wednesday,  was “radicalized by some extremist network” before the attack, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

America's educational system is failing because it no longer teaches students how to think  To really fix our education system will require a major shift in basic teaching philosophy. Right now it appears the goal of universities is to force feed ideas and facts into the minds of students, most often from a leftist perspective.
    That isn’t education, it’s indoctrination. It is also counter to the very principles of western civilization that founded these universities in the first place.

Schools Are in Hooky Hell...American children are skipping school in staggering numbers  States vary significantly in the number of student absences. While Alabama, New Jersey, and Virginia have a 15% rate, Alaska’s is 43%, Oregon’s is 34%, and Michigan’s is 30%.
   The problem is particularly egregious in our big cities. According to a recent report, in Los Angeles, where over 32% of students were chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year, 34 elementary schools have fewer than 200 students, and 29 use less than half of the building.

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress...

God is our refuge and strength,
    a very present help in trouble.
 Therefore we will not fear though the earth give way,
    though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
 though its waters roar and foam,
    though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah

 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
    the holy habitation of the Most High.
 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
    God will help her when morning dawns.
 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
    he utters his voice, the earth melts.
 The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

 Come, behold the works of the Lord,
    how he has brought desolations on the earth.
 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
    he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
    he burns the chariots with fire.
 “Be still, and know that I am God.
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth!”
 The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
-Psalm 46

Mohler: A most tragic turning point...The assassination of Charlie Kirk and the call of a generation  Not long thereafter, Charlie embraced two things that had been missing from his earlier approach. He openly and boldly claimed the gospel of Christ and courageously identified himself as a Christian believer. He also began to argue with consistency that a recovery of Christian truth was essential for a lasting conservatism. He was right.

The Day the Masks Came Off: What Charlie Kirk’s Murder Reveals About the Left  For years, conservatives have described liberals as misguided, wrong, or naïve. We thought they were mistaken but basically well-intentioned. Liberals, on the other hand, increasingly painted conservatives as evil — racist, fascist, subhuman. That imbalance shaped our politics: one side wanted to persuade, the other side wanted to destroy.
   But with Charlie Kirk’s murder, that asymmetry collapsed. Conservatives watched in real time as prominent voices on the Left celebrated the death of a man they despised. The mask of “tolerance” slipped, and underneath was malice. Today, conservatives are saying what we once resisted: they are not just wrong. They are evil.

Ramifications of Charlie Kirk Assassination Could Be Huge: Martin Luther King Size What do you suppose is the number one topic on campus right now? (Well, except for the usual sports, dating, etc.) Think how many millions of students are now hearing about Charlie Kirk and his organization for the first time, about what happened to him and why? How do you think they will react when their professors start to recite the same old “progressive” palaver?



The Left Has Never Been Held Accountable For Political Violence — And That Must Change If that seems like a bleak future for American politics, well, that’s because watching one of America’s most promising young leaders die in front of our eyes is pretty damn bleak. We survived a civil war, and I pray for everyone involved in American politics that understanding and forgiveness will once again be this country’s guiding lights. But I am also reminded that there are times when vengeance is necessary and just, and millions of Americans will not stand for Kirk’s death to be in vain.

We are up against people who want to kill us. Not just Trump or Charlie Kirk. All of us.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble”...



BREAKING: Suspect Taken Into Custody in Charlie Kirk Assassination Has been Released After Interrogation: KASH PATEL  FBI Director Kash Patel revealed that the subject taken into custody in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk just a couple of hours ago has been released.
    Charlie Kirk’s assassin is still on the loose.
 
Remembering Charlie Kirk, Founder of Turning Point USA...He challenged a generation to seek Christ, love America, and speak boldly. Kirk emerged as a leading conservative activist when, at only 18, he launched Turning Point USA, a group dedicated to spreading conservative and biblical principles on high school and college campuses. Over the next decade, he grew the organization into a national force and became a familiar voice in political debates. He also authored several books and was willing to dialogue with those with whom he disagreed, such as in March when he interviewed California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, and two months later when he appeared on the podcast of Bill Maher, a skeptic of Christianity. 
   He was open about his Christian faith, tweeting over the weekend, "Jesus defeated death so you can live." Image

“I am the true vine..."

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.  Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.  Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.  I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.  -John 15:1-5

A Tragedy Worse Than Epstein’s Island, But With Less Paperwork   The comparison to Epstein isn't just spicy rhetoric; it's excruciatingly apt. Epstein ran a secret operation, while Biden's team built a public pipeline that delivered kids to predators on an industrial scale. Epstein's crimes were vile, but they were limited to his creepy island and a few mansions. Biden's policies turned the entire U.S. border into a child-trafficking superhighway.

Screens and social media are not all bad and don't seem to impact top achieving students very much. But I think the evidence is in that doom scrolling through TikTok for hours a day is not good for students near the bottom who do this in place of learning to read and do math.

-----------------"We have sinned"------------------

Christians often will do individual confession of sin, or will pray for the sins of others, asking God to judge their evil. But a third scenario is when a godly person asks God to forgive a sinful people or nation, but he also includes himself in the mix.
   I just read another example of this today with the prayer of Daniel for his people as found in Daniel 9:3-19. The first three verses go like this:
Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting and sackcloth and ashes. I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession, saying, “O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules. We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
   Of interest is how often we find Daniel using the words “us” and “we” and “our” in these 17 verses. He is not pointing the finger at ‘them’ but at everyone, himself included. That is real humility. That is real identification with the people. That is having a godly heart and a willingness to fully relate to the people.  Read it all...  Image

Call to me and I will answer you...

Call to me and I will answer you, 
and will tell you great and hidden things
that you have not known. -Jeremiah 33:3

-----------------------------

It’s sad, but what happens to Britain is not up to us. It’s up to the British. But what is up to us is what we do here in our own country. And what we must do now is double down on being citizens instead of subjects. Speak freely and forthrightly. Demand every single right to which you were endowed by our Creator. Reject the dual-track justice system and anarcho-tyranny that the Democrats would impose. But, most of all, make sure you have laid the foundation requirement for freedom – buy guns and ammunition.

The Left-RIght Divide on Family Creation Matches the Divide on Mental Health  So, again, it seems like progressivism, depression and having fewer children are all correlated together in some way. One way to put this is that progressives are more likely to be depressed and depressed people are less likely to have kids. By contrast, conservatism, better mental health and wanting a family also seem correlated. Given that these factors seem to be significantly impacting the life-choices of teens and young people, it probably ought to generate more discussion than it does.

Does Canada Really Want to Kill Babies Outside the Womb?  Keep in mind that Canadian law currently allows parents to withhold life-sustaining treatment in cases of terminal illness or similar conditions in newborns.

When the government moved to ban 26 social media platforms, including Facebook and YouTube, protests erupted with thousands of young people storming parliament in the capital Kathmandu on Monday. Several districts are now under a curfew.

Blessed is the man...

Blessed is the man
    who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
    nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
 but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and on his law he meditates day and night.

 He is like a tree
    planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
    and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
 The wicked are not so,
    but are like chaff that the wind drives away.

 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
    nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked will perish.
-Psalm 1

---------------Iryna Zarutska-------------

The Unspeakable Evil Progressives Have Unleashed Strikes in Charlotte  Zarutska's was a real life that wasn't important enough, no matter how horrific her passing, because it would hurt the narrative, the carefully constructed narrative.
    If you weren't from the local area, did any of you hear about it?
    I never had until yesterday, and that is only because the security video from that fateful few minutes on the CATS light rail car came bursting into public consciousness. Shamefully, only after members of the Charlotte City Council intervened personally in an attempt to block release of the ghastly footage and were foiled.


The Image That Killed the Democrats in 2026 and Beyond It gets worse for Democrats: The victim was not only young, female, and stunning, but she was a refugee from Ukraine — one of their fetish victims.

Charlotte’s Mayor Vi Lyles’ response to this senseless killing revealed the disturbing direction of modern Democratic leadership. Instead of naming Zarutska or condemning the act outright, Lyles chose to focus on the suspect’s supposed mental health struggles and homelessness, cautioning against demonizing the homeless. She framed homelessness and mental illness as public health issues requiring "compassion and treatment," while asserting that the city’s transit system remains "mostly safe."
   This kind of gutless political correctness, where the needs of innocent victims are swept under the rug for the sake of compassion and empathy for the perpetrators is exactly why crime has soared in blue cities, and why Americans feel increasingly unsafe.


Journalists do whatever the narrative requires at the moment, but does it still work?

Earlier this year, medical researchers from the University of Texas published the results of a bombshell study documenting the mental health impact of so-called “gender-affirming” surgery.  The study included nearly 110,000 male and female patients who were eighteen or older and diagnosed with gender dysphoria.  Among those patients observed, some underwent surgery, and some did not.
   The results were clear: Two years after surgery, those who “transitioned” had “significantly higher” rates of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and suicidal ideation.  This was true for both males and females.

An Uproar Over Facts...Canadian experts reported accurate information about ‘gender-affirming’ therapies. Naturally, everyone is furious.  From 2021 to early 2025, Guyatt and his research collaborators systematically reviewed the evidence as to whether various “gender-affirming” interventions actually deliver psychological, psychiatric, or physical benefits to gender-distressed children and youth; and whether such benefits outweigh the attendant risks. It’s a classic application of the evidence-based methodology that Guyatt has championed for decades. Spoiler alert: As anyone who’s followed this issue in recent years might have predicted, Guyatt’s team, led by McMaster Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact scholar Romina Brignardello-Petersen, found that the available medical evidence supporting transition therapies is generally of low quality.

How Phonics Instruction Helped Indiana Kids Read Better Than Many Adults The dispute over these fundamentally different tactics is at the heart of the long-fought “reading wars.” On one side, the whole-language model assumes that learning to read is as natural a process as learning to talk, and prompts children to see and memorize words in context. Phonics-based education argues that reading is a skill to be learned, and that initially breaking words down into their parts and sounds will allow children to read proficiently.

----------------------------

Some believers have a fully separatist view of the world they live in, wanting nothing to do with it – at least things like politics, government and the like. Thankfully most of God’s faithful people did not share such a few. Three obvious Old Testament characters fully make this case.

-Moses served in pagan Egypt and thus served the purposes of God.
-Joseph served in pagan Egypt and thus served the purposes of God.
-And here we find the same with Daniel. He served in pagan Babylon, along with his three friends, and God used them mightily to bring about his purposes and plans.

All this is borne out by the instructions God had given to Jeremiah: “But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare” (Jer. 29:7). In this case it was also Babylon, and the prophet made this instruction to the exiles there in a letter he had sent them. Read it all...  Image   Daniel 4

How the police became the goon squad of trans activists   As a result of the hand-in-glove relationship between Stonewall and the College of Policing, every officer that has graduated in the past decade has been told that it is their duty to fight an alleged epidemic of transphobic hate crime. They’ve sat in classes lectured by trans activists, who’ve told them heart-wrenching tales of their personal suffering. Myths peddled by the trans lobby are presented as facts – such as that trans people, particularly children, are being driven to suicide by an atmosphere of bigotry.

Ten Years of Migration Crisis: The Fracture that Changed Europe  Ten years on, it has become clear that mass immigration did not solve Europe’s problems—it multiplied them. The open-door policy has left a continent more divided, more insecure, and more dependent on community structures incapable of protecting its people.
   Europe cannot afford another lost decade. The memory of 2015 should be warning enough: when governments abdicate their duty to protect, the citizens pay the price.

Look at the birds of the air...

Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 
-Matthew 6:26-27

It appears that more than a few of the best people now believe that the wrong sort of Irish people are putting up Irish flags in Ireland, and that this is being done as anti-migrant “hate speech” directed against fragile foreigners. As night follows day, there will soon be an investigation led by the Gardaí (the Irish police) and then debated by the Dublin City Council. And eventually, a proposal will be made to make it illegal for Irish people to put up Irish flags in Ireland. It is possible that such a proposal might be enacted, and it is also possible, perhaps likely, that such a policy will be upheld by the Irish courts.

------------------Pray without ceasing------------------

As a nation we are still reaping the consequences of a terrible string of Supreme Court decisions from the 1960s, and 80s. They ruled against school prayer, Bible reading at school (as devotional), creation being allowed to be taught, even the Ten Commandments (with its famous line: “Thou shalt not murder”) were disallowed at school. It’s as if the left, through their surrogates on the High Court went out of their way to build a firewall against the children in the schools learning anything about God. And now we’re reaping the consequences. 
   As Os Guinness, the great Christian thinker and author, postulates in his book, A Free People’s Suicide: “One cannot point to a free and lasting civilization anywhere in history that was built on atheistic foundations.” Ultimately, America’s only two true options are: Revival or Ruin. Read it all...

Prayer Works, According to Science...The Wider Implications for an Individual and Society  The role of prayer in civil society has emerged in the wake of the Annunciation Catholic School shooting, and this may be a blessing of sorts amidst the tragedy.
   This is because scientific research has shown time and again that religious faith and the practice of prayer check pathologies and improve quality of life on almost every level.

Transgender terrorism, spiritual sickness, and the Catholic school shooting Vice President JD Vance’s response summed it up best. “It is shocking to me that so many left wing politicians attack the idea of prayer in response to a tragedy,” he wrote. “Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action. We pray because our hearts are broken and we believe that God is listening.” Progressives, it seems, do not. As Christians across America mourned and the devastated parents of the Annunciation Catholic School buried their dead children, many progressives scorned their prayers, echoing the sentiments of the shooter: “Where is your God?”

The political classes not only of the United States, but of pretty much every Western nation, have been all-in in favor of immigration and have basically colluded to ignore what the “white trash” — to use British Labour politician Dennis Jones’s term for the working-class girls who were victims of the Pakistani rape gangs — thinks about things. Having decided, conveniently, that anyone opposed to their agenda is racist and evil, they’ve found it easy to ignore the public’s reluctance to be robbed and raped.

Hegseth Pulls Plug on Chinese Involvement in Pentagon Cloud Operations  Last month, ProPublica published the findings on an investigation that exposed Microsoft’s “digital escort” system. Their analysis revealed that U.S. personnel with security clearances were supervising foreign engineers, including those in China.

New York’s recently released Draft 2025 Energy Plan is rooted in fantasy. The plan asserts that the Empire State’s electrification and zero-emissions obsession will reduce energy costs, fight climate change, and create over 60,000 net new jobs by 2035. In reality, while the plan won’t meaningfully affect the climate, it will devastate consumers and New York’s economy.
   The plan asks New Yorkers to ignore the realities before their eyes—including surging energy costs.

Devaluing human life turns hashtags and deplatforming to bullets and bombs

It must stop now. America has a generation of young people struggling with identity, spiritual disturbances, and the deceptions of the digital world. Westman fell for one of those deceptions, ruined himself, and then, like a character in a Russian novel, sought revenge on society through an act of pure evil.
   Unless transgender ideology and its system of rewards and punishments is defeated, it will continue to catch troubled young men like Robin Westman in its web of delusion, and more innocent people will suffer. Now is the time to leave the ideology behind.

New Barna Data: Young Adults Lead a Resurgence in Church Attendance   The significant drop-off among older generations shows that the fabric of congregational life is changing. It’s more frayed and less gray than it was a decade ago,” notes David Kinnaman, CEO of Barna Group. “The influx of new generations represents a massive opportunity for congregational leaders, but this renewed interest must be stewarded well.”
   “Our research clearly shows that churchgoing alone does not in itself create devoted disciples. Even with the increasing participation of younger generations, there is still the challenge of shaping hearts and minds to live out their faith beyond church participation,” adds Kinnaman.
