He is Risen! Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone. While today is a fun day for little kids on Easter Egg hunts, Easter remains all about Jesus' resurrection. My favorite Bible account of Christ's crucifixion, death and resurrection is from Luke's Gospel. The Repentant Sinner's Crucifixion : Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, [j]“If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us." But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong." Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise." Jesus Dies on the Cross Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was t...

He is RESCUED!

Image
It took a little time. I'm betting that there were lots of tense moments. When it was over, though, I'm betting that the people involved in the rescue mission experienced the adrenaline rush of a lifetime . Jennifer Griffin broke the story that "The CIA launched a 'deception campaign' inside Iran before the Pentagon initiated its rescue mission for a missing U.S. weapons systems officer, Fox News has learned. Before the service member was found, the CIA spread word inside Iran that U.S. forces had already located the missing colonel and were moving him on the ground for exfiltration, Fox News' Jennifer Griffin reported, citing a senior administration official." The article continues, saying "Griffin reported that while Iranian forces were confused and uncertain about what was happening, the CIA used its “unique, exquisite capabilities” to locate the American service member. She described the effort as 'like looking for a needle in a haystack,'...

Trump warns Iran: 'Time's running out'

Image
The clock is ticking on Iran's existence. So says Donald Trump in the Hill via his Truth Social Post. Specifically, he said "Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out - 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD! President DONALD J. TRUMP". I'm betting that Iran will ignore President Trump's warning. That's Iran's problem. They think that if they die as a martyr for Allah, they'll be rewarded with 72 virgins in Heaven. On that, they are wrong. They're worshiping the wrong god. If Iran thinks that Presiddent Trump is bluffing, that's a terrible bet. Haven't they learned from Operation Midnight Hammer? Apparently, Iran didn't learn from Trump's bombing of Qassim Soleimani. That's their crisis. “IT IS TIME FOR IRAN TO MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF WHAT STILL COULD BECOME A GREAT COUNTRY!” Trump wrote on Truth Social ...

The Democratic Socialists of America hostile takeover of the DFL

Image
It isn't a secret that communists want to take over the U.S. They've been planning a hostile takeover for years. They've seen the U.S. as the personification of evil since the Russian people rejected Soviet oppression in exchange for American rights and liberties in the early 1990s. It's historical fact that President Putin thinks that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a tragedy . He's quoted as saying "It was a disintegration of historical Russia under the name of the Soviet Union. We turned into a completely different country. And what had been built up over 1,000 years was largely lost." The DSA is in the midst of a hostile takeover of the DFL right now. That's the report from Marjorie Simon , a lifelong Democrat. Ms. Simon is quoted as saying "When Aisha Chughtai became the council member, I noticed a disaster. She is a bona fide member of the Democratic Socialists of America. She doesn’t like to respond to emails or calls or voicemails or ...

Is this the end of Schumer's Shutdown?

Image
It looks like Schumer's Shutdown will soon come to its finish line. That means Democrats will take credit for a bill that Senate Democrats initially proposed. Democrats will break their arms praising themselves about that. First, Thune and Johnson will follow a 2-track process to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security. Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune issued this blistering joint statement through Speaker Johnson's Twitter account. The key part said "In the coming days, Republicans in the Senate and House will be following through on the President’s directive by fully funding the entire Department of Homeland Security on two parallel tracks: through the appropriations process and through the reconciliation process." If I understand this correctly, the House will accept the Senate Democrats' bill that will fund most of the Department of Homeland Security. The exceptions are that the Democrats' bill wouldn't fund "ICE and Customs and Border P...

Anti-ICE activists highlight the fact that they're activists first

Image
Just when I thought I could move on from the Cities Church Invasion , Alpha News runs an article like this that start the negative emotions flowing again. According to the article, "Attendees of Cities Church in St. Paul continue to be harassed by anti-ICE protesters every Sunday when they attend worship services, a churchgoer recently told Crime Watch Minneapolis." Then it continues, saying "Cities Church was invaded by an anti-ICE mob on Jan. 18 when individuals halted the service and encircled churchgoers and pastors, screaming chants and recording." I'm thankful that these Cities Church parishioners have taken the turn-the-other-cheek approach in dealing with these low-lifes. Who are these low-lifes with no integrity? I'm thankful you asked that. Again, according to the article, "The mob, led by activist Nekima Levy Armstrong and St. Paul school board member Chauntyll Allen, entered the sanctuary after the sermon began and interrupted lead pastor J...

President Trump's Iran update filled with good news

Image
While I wish I could say that President Trump's address to the nation about the status of the Iran War was all positivity, I can't do that without crippling my integrity. My reputation and integrity would still be higher than CNN's, but it would still take hit. According to the transcript of President Trump's speech , he opened by saying "As we speak this evening, it’s been just one month since the United States military began Operation Epic Fury, targeting the world’s No. 1 state sponsor of terror, Iran. In these past four weeks, our armed forces have delivered swift, decisive, overwhelming victories on the battlefield. Victories like few people have ever seen before. Tonight, Iran’s navy is gone. Their air force is in ruins. Their leaders, most of them, terrorist regime, they led, are now dead. Their command and control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is being decimated as we speak. Their ability to launch missiles and drones is dramatically curtailed. A...
