Hello could I please get someone to pray about my work. I’ve been struggling with bad mental health this past year and have taken unexcused time off work. My boss is getting mad and I genuinely could loose my job tomorrow. I only finally support myself and my finances are already messed up from taking the time off. I really don’t know what I would do if I got fired. I just want some grace and understanding as I’m trying my best to get better. Thank you for taking the time to read this

A British pastor was warned by a police officer that a Bible verse displayed on the back of his campervan could be considered “hate speech” if reported. The conversation occurred at a petrol station and was described as advisory.

Mick Fleming, 59, a former drug dealer-turned-pastor who now lives in his van, had John 3:16 prominently displayed on the vehicle. The verse reads, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.”

The incident took place late last month in Burnley, a town in Lancashire, where Fleming was approached by a police officer who tapped him on the shoulder and offered what the pastor described as a friendly warning, The Telegraphreported.

The officer reportedly told him, “A bit of advice — the writing could be seen as hate speech in the wrong context. I am just giving you a heads up.” Fleming said the officer emphasized that the warning was not part of an investigation or arrest but was intended to alert him that the display might lead to a police inquiry if someone filed a complaint.

Fleming recounted the exchange on his YouTube channel and posed the question to his audience about whether a Bible verse such as John 3:16 could reasonably be considered offensive.

In an age where comfort is idolized and suffering is to be avoided at all costs, the Catholic crucifix remains a bold proclamation: We preach Christ crucified(1 Cor. 1:23). For many Catholics, the choice to display and venerate a crucifix—rather than a plain cross or a resurrected Christ figure—is not merely a matter of preference. It is a theological statement rooted in the heart of the Church’s liturgical and devotional life.

While the Church emphasizes the crucifix in her liturgy, it’s important to acknowledge that some people are drawn to crosses that depict the Risen Lord in glory. This image can serve as a beautiful reminder that the story does not end at Calvary. Even so, I believe there is a compelling case to be made for crucifixes that portray Christ crucified.

DO NOT EMPTY THE CROSS OF ITS POWER.​

St. Paul powerfully exhorts the early Church in Corinth, “We preach Christ crucified…Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1 Cor. 1:23–24). Earlier in the same chapter, he warns, “Do not allow the cross to be emptied of its power” (v. 17). These words stand in stark contrast to more sanitized or sentimentalized versions of Christian imagery. The crucifix, with the suffering body of Christ nailed to the wood, refuses to let us forget the cost of our redemption.

With Millennials and Generation Z leading the way, particularly among men, Bible reading among U.S. adults in 2025 is at its highest level in the last 15 years, according to new data from the "State of the Church" initiative.

The initiative by Barna Group and Gloocollected data from 12,116 online interviews conducted between January and October of 2025. The research revealed that approximately 50% of self-identified Christians report reading the Bible weekly, the highest level of Bible reading among Christians in more than a decade.

Weekly Bible reading among all U.S. adults reached its lowest point in 15 years in 2024 when it hit 30%. In 2025, the figure rebounded 12 percentage points to 42%, according to the latest data.

"Bible reading is rising again across generations, marking a reset to faith engagement levels we haven't seen in a decade," David Kinnaman, CEO of Barna Group, said in a statement. "People aren't just curious about faith — they're opening Scripture for themselves. This trend aligns with other signs of renewal we've seen in our research, like growing commitments to Jesus and increased church attendance."

ABUJA, Nigeria — Fulani herdsmen on Thursday killed two Christians in Nigeria’s Nasarawa state and two others in Plateau state following the slaughter of 11 Christians in the latter earlier in the week, sources said.

In Nasarawa state’s predominantly Christian Sarkin Noma village, Keana County, herdsman invaded at about 11 p.m. while residents were sleeping in their homes, killed two Christians and abducted another, said area resident Dooshima Tse.

Musa Adamu, another resident, confirmed the killings and kidnapping.

What is the knowledge of God’s will? Well, there is his expressed and definite will for our all of our lives expressed in the Scriptures, which is for all of us who believe in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of our lives. And then there is God’s will for us individually, which is not expressed in the Scriptures, but which is discerned of the Holy Spirit as he calls us and directs us in the ways of the Lord in doing the specific will of God for our individual lives, but which must never contradict the written will of God in the Scriptures.

For God has assigned each of us specific body parts within the body of Christ, as a whole, and he has given us gifts of the Spirit individually which are to be used of God to minister to the body of Christ to encourage one another in our walks of faith in obedience to our Lord. For we are all necessary parts to the proper working of the body of Christ, his church, as each of us fulfills our God-given assignments under the direction of the Holy Spirit, and in the power of God, but never from our own flesh nature.

[Acts 2:14-18,42-47; Romans 12:1-8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31; 1 Corinthians 14:1-5; Galatians 6:1; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:1-16; Ephesians 5:15-21; Ephesians 6:10-20; Philippians 2:1-8; Colossians 3:12-16; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:13; Hebrews 10:23-25; James 5:19-20]

And this is not to be led of man, but of God. Certainly what we do within the body of Christ must be in line with the will of God, which is expressed in the Scriptures, and if done in a group setting, it should fall under the authority of the church elders (overseers) who should be men of God of great integrity and spiritual maturity. Or it should fall under the authority of whoever is leading a gathering of the church, the body of Christ, but still according to the will of God and according to the teachings of God and not of flesh.

But please note that not everyone who says “Lord, Lord,” is a child of God and a servant of the Lord and of his righteousness. There are many “wolves in sheep’s clothing” among us disguised as pastors and elders and ministers of the gospel who are not of God but are of human flesh. And so they are not under the authority of God and his Word, but they are under human authority, often being led by marketing literature on how to “grow their churches” and how to attract the world to their gatherings, so not of God.

So be wise and be discerning in who you listen to and who you get your direction from, and make sure what you are hearing and believing is truly of God. And we do this via prayer for spiritual discernment and by being serious students of the Scriptures who study them in their appropriate biblical context, comparing Scripture with Scripture to make certain that what we are believing is the truth of God’s word, and not the teachings of human wisdom and knowledge that is separate from the will of God.

And the purpose of us discovering the will of God, via the Scriptures, is so that we will walk in a manner worthy (proper, suitable, fitting) of the Lord, to please him all respects. And no, we are not pleasing to God merely because we once made a verbal profession of faith in him with our lips. But we are pleasing to God when we are obeying his commands, and when we are doing his will (both the collective and individual will of God), and when we are putting sin to death in our lives, by the Spirit, and we are living holy lives.

And if our faith in Jesus is genuine biblical faith, and we are walking (in conduct) in a manner worthy of God, to please him in ALL respects, it should be obvious by what we produce, by us bearing fruit (spiritual results) in every good work, which God prepared in advance that we should walk in them (see Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 2:11-14). But all of this is not of human flesh, but only as led by and empowered by God, as he teaches us steadfastness and patience, giving thanks to God for and in all things, “who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light (Christ).

[Matthew 10:37-38; Matthew 22:8; Luke 9:23-26,62; John 15:1-11; 1 Corinthians 15:58; 2 Corinthians 9:8; Galatians 5:6; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:1; Philippians 1:27; Philippians 2:12-13; Colossians 1:9-14; 1 Thessalonians 2:12; 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12; 2 Timothy 2:21; Titus 2:11-14; Titus 3:8; James 2:17]

Acts 13:48 reads: "And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed."

Ἀκούοντα δὲ τὰ ἔθνη ἔχαιρον καὶ ἐδόξαζον τὸν λόγον τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ἐπίστευσαν ὅσοι ἦσαν τεταγμένοι εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον·

All major translations render τεταγμένοι as passive: "were appointed."

Yet some individuals argue for a middle sense: "had disposed themselves toward eternal life," making the verb about human readiness rather than divine appointment.

Grammatically, τεταγμένοι is the perfect participle of τάσσω, whose perfect middle and passive forms are identical in spelling (hence the debate). The surrounding construction (ἦσαν τεταγμένοι) is a perfect periphrastic, a construction that emphasizes the state resulting from a prior completed action. In other words, when the Gentiles hear the gospel, they are already "in the state of having been appointed." The narrative logic naturally runs: divine appointment precedes and explains belief.

If Luke had intended a reflexive nuance ("had disposed themselves"), we would expect some explicit reflexive marking, such as an active verb with a reflexive pronoun, as in verse 46. By the Koine period, active verb + reflexive pronoun was the standard way to express reflexivity. Genuine reflexive middles (i.e. verbs conveying self-action) were exceedingly rare and typically contextually obvious (e.g., Matt. 27:5; arguably the only true reflexive middle in the NT). And as if that were not rare enough on its own, to find such a reflexive sense in a perfect periphrastic construction would be exceptional; virtually without parallel in Koine Greek. The passive reading therefore aligns both with Luke's normal syntax and with his repeated emphasis on divine initiative in salvation (cf. Acts 16:14).

Curious what others think: if you disagree with the reading that those who believed did so because of prior divine appointment, what is your argument?

I am reading in Isaiah, chapter 1. The people of God at that time, who lived in Judah and Jerusalem, were revolting against the Lord. They did not know God. They, as a nation, not necessarily including every individual, were a sinful nation, a people weighed down with iniquity. They were evildoers and those who acted corruptly; those who despised the Lord, who had turned away from him, and who were living in open rebellion against God.

And they were likened to being like the ancient cities Sodom and Gomorrah, the people of which were mostly known for being arrogant, complacent, idle, inhospitable, and unconcerned for the needy. And they were those who did detestable things which were morally disgusting to God, who engaged in sexual immorality and sexual perversion, including, and most well known for the abundance of their homosexuality, some or all of it forced upon others.

[Genesis 18:16-33; Genesis 19:1-29; Ezekiel 16:49-50; Jude 1:7]

Although they made physical sacrifices to the Lord as part of their religious rituals, their hearts were far from God. And so God was not pleased with their sacrifices, so he took no pleasure in them. For he saw their false acts of religious rituals as them trampling his courts. So, even though they spread out their hands in prayer to God, he would not listen to them, for he said that their hands were covered with blood (see Isaiah 1:1-15).


And do you know that the gospel of our salvation, under the New Covenant, repeats the same basic message as what this is teaching? For, as those who profess faith in Jesus Christ we are to be those who were crucified with Christ in death to sin, and raised with Christ in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin, but now as slaves to God and as servants of his righteousness in obedience to his commands. And we are to continue in obedience to our Lord and in putting sin to death in our lives, by the Spirit.

As those who proclaim Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are no longer to be those for whom sin is our practice and for whom obedience to God is not our practice. We are daily to be putting sin to death, by the Spirit, and walking in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in holy and righteous living, by the grace of God, and in the power of God. And we should now be those who are doing good in the sight of God. But if we refuse, and so we rebel against God, then according to the Scriptures, we will not have eternal life with God.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

When I lift up my voice, and
Sing praise unto God,
I will fellowship with my
Lord and Savior, King.
In Him there is no darkness.
He is in the light of truth.
If we walk in His light,
From sin He purifies.

If we repent of our sins,
He’ll forgive us now,
When we humble ourselves, and
Before Jesus bow.
The man who says, “I know Him,”
But does not obey His truth,
There is no truth in him.
In darkness still he’s found.

Do not love the world of sin,
For it is hell bound.
If you follow the world, you’ll
Not in Christ be found.
The world and its desires
Will not last; they’ll expire.
The one who does God’s will,
Receives eternal life.

See that what you have heard from
Christ remains in you.
Then, you’ll remain in Christ, and
In His Father, too.
This is what He promised us –
His eternal life with God.
So, continue in Him, and
You’ll receive a crown.

Cease With Evil, Now Do Good

Florida is suing Planned Parenthood for up to $350 million for allegedly falsely advertising abortion pills as “safer than Tylenol,” a claim debunked in a study this year.

The 37-page lawsuit claims that Planned Parenthood has falsely advertised the abortion pill as “safer than Tylenol” despite evidence that shows a high rate of hospitalizations for women who take the drug mifepristone to induce abortions.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said Planned Parenthood has been “wrongfully deceiving women.”

“We want to hold people accountable for hurting our women, for hurting our children, and these lawsuits are seeking to do it,” he told EWTN News’ Catherine Hadro, host of “EWTN News In Depth.”

“They have been wrongfully deceiving women out there, advertising that these new chemical abortion pills are safer than Tylenol and pain medications you’d get over the shelf,” Uthmeier said. “Our evidence suggests that is entirely false.”

“One in 25 women that take these chemical pills end up in the hospital, and we’ve seen dozens of deaths resulting,” Uthmeier continued.

Open coffin and chaplain in a Dracula cape: Church receives hate comments for "Halloween service"

A Halloween service with an open coffin, artificial fog, and a chaplain in a Dracula cape: This pleased around 50 residents of Freising – and angered many others.



But the Latin Mass is the problem



Halloween and the Catholic Church, do they somehow go together? Yes, says Freising parish vicar Michael Korell, pointing to the Catholic origins of the evening before All Saints' Day and therefore advocating for a "Halloween service" on October 31 in the Mortuary chapel at St. George's Cemetery. With plenty of artificial fog, a semi-open coffin, and a touch of spooky atmosphere.

Under the Dracula cape, Chaplain Michael Korell wore his official vestments.

Rabbi's Daily Devotion ...


David resolved to praise his God “continually.” He awoke each morning with prayer and praise: “In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice; in the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.”

I love that the priests of Israel were commanded to praise God every morning and evening: “They are to stand every morning to thank and to praise the Lord, and likewise at evening.” Our praise and prayer are to be perpetual, which means we must be bold enough to say, “Praise God,” in public. Through our praise, we become lights revealing Father to the world.

I realize there is a time and place for everything, but too often we aren’t conveying God’s praise to the world as we should. Beloved one, don’t let anyone keep you from acknowledging your Creator! David didn’t compartmentalize his life so that he only praised God in specific places or at certain times. All David’s talk was seasoned with praise to HaShem.

Likewise, we need to love God so much that we don’t hesitate to speak of His goodness. May His praise be continually in our mouths, for we “are a chosen race, a royal priesthood…a people for God’s own possession, so that [we] may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called [us] out of darkness into His marvelous light.”

Rabbi Kirt A. Schneider, Entering His Presence (Lake Mary, FL: Charisma House, 2023), Used by permission.

Rev 4.4 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne. 4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God. 6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.

In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:

“‘Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,’
who was, and is, and is to come.”

9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:

11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”

In 1 Chron 24, David set up 24 head priests, descended from Aaron. This was just the random number that developed from the number of families descended from Aaron at that time. It may have been God's way of expressing a double witness to the significance of Israel's 12 tribes. Everything was confirmed, as legitimate testimony under the Law, when there was a minimum of 2 witnesses. Aaron had two surviving sons, from whom these 24 leading priests were taken.

So the 24 elders appear to serve as representatives of the priestly order of Christ, whose atonement opened the gate for our entry into Heaven. They were dressed in white to show that Christians, who have access to Heaven, are made pure in the blood of Christ. And they had gold crowns, indicating that Christians have the authority of Christ, their head, to judge the world.

The lightning and thunder indicate that the purification of the Church leads to judgment of this world. The 7 blazing lamps are representative of the 7 churches in John's time, among which the faithful live by the Spirit of God. This brings conviction and judgment to the world around them.

I would suggest that these agents, ie the 24 elders and the 7 spirits, are angels, who represent what Christ has done for and in the Church. And the same follows for the 4 living creatures. They are angels representing something with respect to Christians, whom Christ has redeemed by his sacrifice.

These 4 creatures have the face of a man, which hearkens back to the Creation, when God gave Man rulership over the earth and over its creatures. These particular creatures serve the purpose of Man, after his redemption, to bring judgment upon the earth.

This judgment has been ongoing, from the time of the Fall, and even after the redeeming work of Christ. And it will be consummated at the Return of Christ, when the world will be judged in the Battle of Armageddon, and in Eternity through Christ's final sentencing.

The 4 creatures include both a lion and a flying eagle, both signifying God's predatory judgments against sinners, whether nations or their rulers. The "flying" eagle signifies that the judgment is already in process.

The 4 creatures also include an ox, representative of the plowing up of hardened land. The hardened land indicates nations, including Israel, who have resisted the Gospel of Christ, and must be plowed up in order to fulfill God's purposes on earth.

All of these things, before God's throne, indicates what transpires from the time of Christ's death to the consummation of His purposes at the Return of Christ. Judgment is ongoing, but delayed, until final judgment falls at the Return of Christ.

I find that ambient and drone music help quiet the endless loops in my head (ADHD for you) and enables me to digest Scripture more easily.

Mexico thwarted an Iran-directed terror attack aimed at harming the Israeli ambassador to the country, the Foreign Ministry shared on Friday.

The announcement by the ministry came hours after N12 published that American and Israeli officials confirmed the IRGC planned an attack against Ambassador Einat Kranz-Neiger as part of a wider attack on Israeli and American interests in the region.

Planned throughout 2024, the IRGC planned to kill the ambassador in early 2025 in a now-thwarted plot. American officials assured N12 that there is no longer an active threat.

Israel's Foreign Ministry, in a statement, thanked the security and law enforcement services in Mexico for "thwarting a terrorist network directed by Iran that sought to attack Israel's ambassador in Mexico."

[Iranian ambassador denies the plot existed.]

There is a theory that before the Big bang, there were hot plasma, gasclouds with electricity. But what perhaps happened, was that there appeared a big sun in empty space. Because of it`s weight, it collapsed, and spread matter evenly througout space. It didn`t explode, but imploded because it collapsed. Some seconds before it collapsed, it made matter like iron at the core; like orbits around a nucleus in an atom, the different matter was made because of the different orbits.

Why I suspect the first sun was made by a god, is because it just suddenly appeared in empty space. There could have been plasma which just grew bigger and bigger, building up a sun until he laws of psychics made it collapse, but it kinda offers the same problem; where did the energy come from?

But there`s a problem with the plasma-theory: if there were electricty before the Big bang, there must have been matter to create it from friction. Electricity is probably just an result of matter rubbing against eachothers creating heat. So in my mind, there just popped up a sun suddenly in empty space from nowhere. Strange isn`t it?

I`m still not sure about black matter and black energy, it isn`t proved it exists. The extra gravity around galaxies could just be from old energy, like when you use your owen at home, the heat becomes old energy with less quality, but it still exerts gravity.

I don`t buy into the whole the universe will just be cold and empty ether. Since energy has been created once, I think it can be created again. I have a theory that since black holes sucks old energy into itself, it`ll eventually be so heavy at the bottom that it collapses and makes a new sun. Sort of it recirculate it.


What do you think, did a god create the first sun?

Do you think, please, it's possible some people's minds could be such that they consider their sins or flaws so irrepressible that they consider them like their god, just because these flaws are stronger than they are.. A kind of devotion to the flaws, just because they feel unable to deal with their strength (the strength of flaws) ? (It would be like a kind of respect they develop for something just because this something is stronger than they are).

It is a good read, and he is not the only one believing Trump's decisions are leading the USA into a financial crisis.

The story of Israel is not just the story of a modern nation in the Middle East. It is the story of a people chosen, scattered, and returned. It is the story of a promise that runs like a thread through the Bible, binding Christians and Jews to the same history and the same hope. For Christians, standing with Israel is not an optional gesture of goodwill. It is a response to Scripture, to conscience, and to covenant.

We live in a time when the Jewish people once again find themselves under assault. Antisemitism is rising in ways unseen since the 1930s. From college campuses to city streets, from the rhetoric of political leaders to the talking points of late-night television, Jews are being singled out, and Israel is being delegitimized. The claim is often that this is about politics, but in reality, it is about people. It is about the right of the Jewish people to live in safety and dignity, in their land and across the globe.

Christians cannot look away. We cannot claim to love the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and remain silent when the children of Abraham are maligned. To do so would be a betrayal not only of our Jewish brothers and sisters but of our own deepest beliefs.

Standing with Israel is not about agreeing with every political decision of its government. Israel is a democracy, and like all democracies, it wrestles with division, debate, and imperfection. But its core identity — as a Jewish state, as a home for a people who have endured exile and persecution, and as a force for life in a region scarred by death — is not negotiable. For Christians, affirming that identity is part of affirming our own.

The contribution of Israel to the world is a story that deserves far more attention than the headlines of war. Israeli doctors have pioneered cancer treatments that save lives across the globe. Israeli scientists have developed water technologies that feed the hungry and bring clean drinking water to the thirsty. Israeli innovators have led in cybersecurity, agriculture, and renewable energy. And Israeli culture — from food to music to film — speaks a universal language that connects peoples far beyond its borders.

BROADVIEW – Federal authorities told demonstrators Friday that there would be “no more prayer” in front of or inside the Broadview ICE facility, in a move that mystified local leaders and raised legal questions.

During the call, which took place with a Block Club reporter present, the anonymous representative told a group of faith leaders and activists that “There is no more prayer in front of building or inside the building because this is the state and it’s not [of a] religious background.”

Protesters expressed concern that the direction from federal officials could be in violation of the First Amendment, which guarantees both freedom of religion and assembly. The move also comes days after the AP reported that Pope Leo XIV urged authorities to allow pastoral workers to be able to access detained migrants.

The call followed an 11:30 a.m. interfaith service in the free speech zone near the facility at 1930 Beach St., that called on federal immigration officials to let faith leaders into the building to provide interfaith services to detainees.

Roughly 100 demonstrators gathered in the free speech zone with colorful signs and costumes while being penned in by concrete barriers. The religious processions were entirely peaceful, with no arrests and minimal interaction between protesters and law enforcement.

Organizers weren’t allowed to deliver a letter requesting entry to the building between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Friday.

“Members of our religious delegation have served in a pastoral and ministerial capacity in jails, prisons and detention centers for many years, and are more than willing to provide pastoral care to those who desire it inside of the ICE facility in Broadview,” the letter read. “We are willing to meet with a member of your staff today to discuss the logistics of our visit … inside of the Broadview ICE facility.”

Faith leaders blocked by ICE from delivering Communion to immigrants speak out​

The Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership (CSPL), a Catholic and Christian-rooted nonprofit, organized a Mass by the immigration processing center on All Saints Day and Día de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead.

Okińczyc-Cruz told ABC News the nonprofit plans to again ask for a meeting and submit another request to offer communion to people inside the Broadview facility. He stressed that without that opportunity, officials are "infringing upon people's religious freedom and religious liberty."

Right-wing media escalate attacks on young women voters following Democratic election wins across the country​

A nice selection of pull-quotes following Tuesday's election.

Clay Travis: “They've all gone insane, young women are actually insane in this country”

Fox anchor Martha MacCallum on young women voting for Democrats: “I find that very frightening.”

Newsmax host Rob Schmitt: “Young women in this country have become a very scary demographic.”

Watters ranted: “You’re in a tiny apartment, and the apartment’s getting really expensive because all of these migrants are here now. And it's also expensive because of the Green New Deal, so your utilities are high, and you've got the wrong degree. You should have gotten a degree in, like, chemistry, biology, finance, computer science, something useful in this high-tech AI economy. No, but you got a degree in, like, Southeast Asian feminist literature.”

Fox host Will Cain: So, I've been asking this question for quite some time: What's wrong with white women?”

Newsmax’s Carl Higbie: “This is why I say liberal white women are the biggest threat to America — they will literally vote for their own destruction and take everyone down with them.”

Fortunately, they have a solution for this perfidy.

On Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade agreed with Fox Noticias host Rachel Campos-Duffy that the conservative movement should “encourage marriage early” to “get more conservative young women.”

Trump on Truthsocial


The Democrats will terminate the filibuster once they can . So it seems to be that the Democrats don't like the filibuster. Right.
Also Trump, on the same Truthsocial:




Do I understand this correctly that it is Republicans that are playing games and hinder the re-opening of the country by not giving Democrats what they want?
But also:

So Democrats want to terminate the filibuster, which would allow Republicans to pass legislation and sail to victory, yet the same Republicans block this?

I am confused.
