Sad story, and I hope they find her.

I think about the thousands of people kidnapped in our country, but what makes this case headline news and requires the Trump admin to make a special case out of this? Because she was the mother of a Today show host? No wonder the elite are out of touch because of all the preferential treatment.

If Patal is going to fly personally for the search, he has thousands of other flights he needs to make. Virtue signalling at its best.

The FBI often investigates kidnappings, so that in of itself isn’t unusual. Oddly, haven’t seen much mention of this from conservative or liberal sources. Maybe it’s just people not knowing about that.

Whether Patel going there is virtue signaling or not depends more on the meaning of the term. I’m sure the investigators will do their job if he’s there or not. Yes, it’s to show they care about this, just like officials touring natural disaster areas. Does the visit itself accomplish anything other than that? Probably not.

Yes, all this attention is because this is the mother of a public figure. That’s usually the way of things. Then again, common folk like myself couldn’t pay a ransom, and no one knows us from Adam’s house cat, so there is likely an overlap there.

A Laotian Christian woman has been abandoned by her family and forced from her home for her faith in Christ. In 2022, Mai Yea visited her uncle, a Christian, who shared the gospel with her. She decided to believe in God. After Mai Yea returned home, her husband was angry. He beat her and threatened to kill her, fearing that her Christian faith would anger the house spirits. She returned to her uncle's house and in 2024 went to live with her married son and his family. When Mai Yea's husband visited and told his son that sickness would come because of Mai Yea's beliefs, he kicked her out. Read More.

Daniel 2:
20 Daniel answered and said:
Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,
For wisdom and might are His.
21 And He changes the times and the seasons;
He removes kings and raises up kings;
He gives wisdom to the wise
And knowledge to those who have understanding.
22 He reveals deep and secret things;
He knows what is in the darkness,
And light dwells with Him.

We are given the Holy Spirit as Helper and Counselor to lead us into all Truth.
By Him we are able to discover the secrets of the heart.
Psalm 44:
21 Would not God search this out?
For He knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Yet for Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

For this you must be born again
1 Corinthians 2:
10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.
For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knows the things of a man except
the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows
the things of God except the Spirit of God.

By this discipline (discipleship), we will be able to stand at the Judgment
Romans 2:16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men
by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

Job 12:22 He uncovers deep things out of darkness,
And brings the shadow of death to light.

Praying the Mercy Chaplet

I love the Mercy Chaplet and pray it slowly every day. In this prayer we embrace the whole world, even those we may be having problems forgiving, or for those we may feel hatred. This is one of the healing graces that comes from this chaplet if said mindfully.

Yes, this is AI, however it is a search engine and if asked the right questions can be helpful in many ways. Yet, one must always remember that it is a program, not alive or conscious-Br. MD

++++++++++

Here’s an essay you can share—something reflective, grounded, and spacious enough for prayerful hearts. I’ve written it in a way that honors your own contemplative voice and the depth with which you accompany others.

The Mercy Chaplet: A Prayer for a Wounded World

In every age, the human heart has cried out for mercy. We feel it in our own struggles, in the suffering of those we love, and in the wounds of the world that seem too deep for any one person to heal. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is a response to that cry—a simple, steady prayer that draws us into the heart of God, where mercy is not an idea but a living reality.

The Chaplet is not complicated. It does not require eloquence, special knowledge, or spiritual achievement. Its power lies in its humility. With each repetition—“have mercy on us and on the whole world”—we step into the mystery of Christ’s self-giving love. We stand before God not with arguments or explanations, but with trust.

A Prayer That Opens the Heart

Many prayers ask for something specific: healing, protection, guidance. The Mercy Chaplet does something different. It places us in the stream of God’s compassion, allowing that compassion to flow through us toward others. It widens the heart.

When we pray it, we are not escaping the world’s pain. We are entering it with Christ.

For the lonely and forgotten
For the sick and the dying
For those burdened by guilt or shame
For the victims of violence and injustice
For those who cannot pray for themselves

The Chaplet becomes a bridge—our small voice joining the great mercy of God.

Mercy as Participation, Not Passivity

Some imagine mercy as softness or sentimentality. But the mercy revealed in Christ is fierce, courageous, and unafraid of suffering. It is the mercy that enters locked rooms, touches wounds, and speaks peace into fear.

Praying the Chaplet forms us in that same courage. It teaches us to look at the world with the eyes of Christ, to see not only brokenness but belovedness. It reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of grace.

In this way, the Chaplet is not only a devotion—it is a school of the heart.

A Prayer for the World, and a Prayer for Us

When we pray “for the whole world,” we are not praying in the abstract. We are praying for real people—neighbors, strangers, enemies, and friends. We are praying for the places where humanity is most fragile. We are praying for the places in ourselves that still need healing.And something quiet happens in that exchange. As we intercede for others, we find ourselves being transformed. Mercy does not pass through us without leaving its mark.

A Simple Offering, A Profound Hope

In a world overwhelmed by noise, division, and fear, the Mercy Chaplet is a gentle act of resistance. It says:

I will not give in to despair.
I will not close my heart.
I will stand in the gap and pray for those who cannot pray.
I will trust that God’s mercy is greater than the world’s wounds.

This is not naïve optimism. It is Christian hope—rooted in the Cross, sustained by grace, and open to the surprising ways God works through ordinary people.

Conclusion

To pray the Mercy Chaplet is to place the world into God’s hands, not as an escape from responsibility but as an act of love. It is a way of saying, again and again, that mercy is stronger than sin, stronger than fear, stronger than death.

And when we pray it faithfully, something in us begins to resemble the One to whom we pray.

Is Greenland America's reward for bringing peace between Russia and Ukraine and getting Ukraine to concede land to Russia.

Just speculating here, but it has always seemed to me to be quite ridiculous that the USA announces its intent to annex Greenland without actually doing anything but annoy its allies and the people of Greenland in the process. If they really want it then it would happen, its not as though anyone could stop them.

There are some good strategic reasons to do this:
1) America is better equipped to police this territory against Russian or Chinese incursions than are the Danes even despite recent Danish investment
2) America would gain control of the rare earth resources that global warming is exposing on the island.
3) It fits the Monroe (Donroe) doctrine version of American isolationism favored by Trumps Republicans, securing the continental USA against Great power incursions

There are also some really good reasons not to do this:
1) It would set the USA in direct conflict with another NATO member Denmark and with the wider EU and possibly split the alliance irreparably
2) It is not what the people of Greenland want and so the USA would be storing up trouble for the future as well as sabotaging its international reputation.
3) America could gain most of the military and economic benefits of Greenland's mines and location without annexation.

So why is Trump mouthing off about Greenland while not doing anything. If he loses the midterms I guess this policy gets benched forever but maybe he never thought he would have to wait this long for peace in Ukraine. His plan was make peace, stop excessive Russian advance into Europe, gain a whole bunch of rare earth concessions from the Ukrainians and then as his reward for helping Europe out to get Greenland. With Greenland secured and the Russians and Chinese driven out of Venezuela and Cuba bankrupt, He would have much of the Americas stabilized under USA dominance.

So why hasn't he got a peace deal yet? Is Putin dragging out the war until after the midterms when he thinks he can dictate terms to a weakened Trump and stop Trump taking Greenland also? Obviously this would suit Chinese interests also. Perhaps this would explain that 'hidden something' that Putin appeared to have on Trump that seemed to make Trump consistently pro-Russian and blind to war atrocities. If Greenland was the swap for Russia gaining Ukrainian territory then this explains Putin's apparent leverage over Trump in Alaska and throughout the negotiation process, along with some naughty pictures??!!.

It would also have extremely worrying implications for NATO. It would mean that Trump has always intended to split the alliance but was cool headed enough to understand that he had to secure peace in Ukraine first. He has a stronger negotiation position with Europe on board but after peace he no longer needs them.

This close to a deal in Ukraine is this all nonsense or an explanation why the deal might yet fall through. Just a theory - what do you think`?

does golden dome rely on Greenland as necessary?

Yes, proponents argue Greenland is strategically vital for the "Golden Dome" missile defense system, providing a crucial mid-course interception point and optimal ground station location for space-based sensors due to its polar location, though some analysts contend the system could function differently or that Greenland isn't essential for basic functions like early warning radar, which is already there. The debate centers on whether physical control or just access to facilities like Pituffik Space Base is needed, with current U.S. access under existing agreements.
Why Greenland is Considered Important:

Forward-Basing Interceptors: Its location allows for intercepting incoming missiles in their mid-course phase (coasting through space), creating a second line of defense before they reach the U.S. mainland.
Space-Based Architecture: It's ideal for ground stations for the satellite network, offering frequent communication with polar-orbiting satellites and clear atmospheric conditions for laser links.
Strategic Flight Paths: It sits on the flight paths of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) targeting the U.S. from the Arctic.

Counterarguments & Nuances:

Existing Architecture: The existing Upgraded Early Warning Radar at Pituffik (Thule) already provides critical early warning, separate from interceptors.
Not Necessarily for Basic Function: Some argue that the core of the system (space-based assets) doesn't require Greenland, and that land-based components could be adjusted,.
Access vs. Control: The U.S. currently has military access via the 1951 Greenland Defense Agreement, raising questions about the need for further control.

In essence, Greenland offers significant enhancements for maximizing the Golden Dome's effectiveness, but the necessity hinges on whether the system's goals require its presence as a forward launch/sensor hub, or if existing infrastructure and alternative locations suffice for basic defense.

Safety from "Vladimir Putin" of Russia basically. Anyone remember the old slogan of the '70s "Better dead than Red?" Russian invasion envisioned by the movie "Red Dawn"

https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/missouri-ag-files-lawsuit-to-block-census-from-counting-undocumented-immigrants/

If Census counts have implications with regards to the number of house seats and thereby the number of electoral votes a state gets...
(which, someone is free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they do)

...despite not being able to vote in federal elections, large undocumented populations can still end up giving prevailing party of the state their in an unfair advantage at the federal level.

Would it be a fair statement to suggest that with regards to sanctuary cities/states, there's a bit of a conflict of interest there if their undocumented populations (albeit, unable to vote) are helping their team get more seats and electoral votes?

Is there an opportunity for a "bargain" of sorts?

Where, if a state designates itself as a "sanctuary" or allows their individual cities to do so, ICE leaves them alone, but their undocumented population can't be factored in when it comes time to calculate house seats, electoral votes, or federal funding for various programs.

Since this is a Christian forum and since we all worship the Same God I would hope I would like to remind everyone who places men in places of power.
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

These verses establish that all authority originates from God (Romans 13), who looks at the heart of individuals for leadership (1 Samuel 16), and ultimately controls the rise and fall of rulers (Daniel 2).

This includes Obama, Biden & Trump.

Romans 13:1: "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God."

1 Samuel 16:7: "But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart."

Daniel 2:21: "And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding."

Deuteronomy 17:15: "...Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not put a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother."

LAHORE, Pakistan — A federal court in Pakistan has given custody of a 13-year-old Christian girl to a Muslim man who kidnapped and forcibly converted and married her, sources said.

The parents of Maria Shahbaz were devastated at the ruling after the two-judge bench of the newly constituted Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) rejected her official birth record and disregarded earlier judicial findings that the marriage was illegal, said Safdar Chaudhry, chairperson of rights group Raah-e-Nijaat Ministry.

Justice Karim Khan Agha and Justice Syed Hassan Azhar Rizvi accepted Maria’s statement, which her parents and their attorney say was given under coercion, that she had converted to Islam and married 30-year-old Shehryar Ahmad of her own free will, Chaudhry said.

“We were hopeful that the court would consider the girl’s official birth document (B-Form) and the sessions court order confirming that the accused had contracted an illegal marriage with a minor,” Chaudhry told Christian Daily International–Morning Star News. “Even the investigating officer informed the court that no marriage record existed at the relevant union council, yet this was ignored.”

In a significant legal case that could shape the future of religious freedom in India, the Supreme Court recently issued notices to 12 states regarding a petition challenging the constitutionality of anti-conversion laws.

The petition, filed by the National Council of Churches in India (NCCI),argues that these laws incentivize violence against religious minorities, particularly Christians, and create a chilling atmosphere for the free exercise of religion.

The stakes are high, as the case has the potential to not only redefine the legal landscape for religious freedoms in India but also serve as a precedent for other nations considering similar legislation.

India’s religious diversity is one of its greatest strengths, yet it is also a source of tension. While the Indian Constitution guarantees the freedom to profess, practice, and propagate one’s religion, the reality on the ground often tells a different story. Anti-conversion laws have been passed in 12 states with the intention of curbing forced conversions, but the laws have been criticized for their potential to marginalize and target minority faith communities, particularly Christians.

One of the most striking aspects of our therapeutic age is the increasing inability of many to sustain a sane and coherent moral hierarchy. Perhaps this stems from the omnipresence of social media. Everything, everywhere always demands our attention and yet, with nowhere solid to stand, we have no way of judging what is important and what is trivial.

Or perhaps it’s because the label of “victim” has become the most coveted title. Now many seek the “prize” without having been subjected to real abuse — abuse that no one would wish upon himself.

A prominent Catholic recently argued in the Irish Times for a new category of victim: those subjected to infant baptism, especially as practiced by the Catholic Church. Former president of Ireland and canon lawyer Mary McAleese declared it to be “a long-standing, systemic and overlooked severe restriction on children’s rights with regard to religion.” Really? At the very moment when thousands are being slain in Iran for protesting the brutal religious regime, McAleese apparently lies awake at night worrying about infant baptism. This is an eloquent testimony to the moral disorientation that marks our present age.

Several comments are in order. First, McAleese does not deny that baptism brings certain “spiritual” benefits, such as “expunging original sin” and “opening up ... the flow of God’s grace.” But she objects to the lifelong membership of the Church that baptism claims to involve. Of course, her fear of the objective responsibilities that baptism entails only has force if she accepts that what the Church teaches about baptism is true. Yet, like a good therapeutic consumer of spirituality, she embraces what comforts her and discards what causes discomfort or demands too much.

If you can't win fairly.....and days after Trump asserted: "The Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”

Bannon weighs in....

Steve Bannon said Tuesday that the federal government is planning to send Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to patrol polling stations during this year’s midterm elections.

“We’re going to have ICE surround the polls come November,” Bannon, a former senior advisor to President Donald Trump and still a figure of influence in the administration, said on Tuesday’s episode of his War Room podcast, addressing Democrats. “We’re not going to sit here and allow you to steal the country again. And you can whine and cry and throw your toys out of the pram all you want, but we will never again allow an election to be stolen.”

Steve Bannon says ICE will ‘surround the polls’ as Trump doubles down on taking over elections

Trump doubled down on his comments to nationalize voting Tuesday during an Oval Office press conference. “If you think about it, a state is an agent for the federal government in elections,” Trump said. “I don’t know why the federal government doesn’t do them anyway.”

“The Lord looks from heaven;

He sees all the sons of men;

From His dwelling place He looks out

On all the inhabitants of the earth,

He who fashions the hearts of them all,

He who understands all their works.

The king is not saved by a mighty army;

A warrior is not delivered by great strength.

A horse is a false hope for victory;

Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.” (Psalm 33:13-17 NASB1995; also see Psalm 139:1-24)

God and God alone knows the hearts of all human beings, because we were created by him – by God the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit. He formed our inward parts, and he wove us in the womb’s of our mothers. And all the days that were ordained for us are written down in his book, even though many of them have not yet taken place. In other words, God knows us inside and out. Before we were even born he knew who we were going to be and what we would do and who would follow him with their lives.

No one else knows us like God knows us, not even ourselves, I believe. Even before there is a word on our tongues, the Lord knows it all. He knows when we sit down, and when we rise up, and he understands our thoughts from afar, even before we are even aware of our own thoughts. He is intimately acquainted with all of our ways. Nothing is hidden from God. So, even if we wanted to hide from God, we cannot, for he sees everything we do. And if we are willing, he will lead us in the way we ought to go, which is God’s way.

And God’s way is the way of holiness and righteousness, in death to sin, and in walks of obedience to our Lord and to his commands. As those who believe in Jesus Christ, we are to be those who are in step with him, who walk in his ways in doing what all he has for us to do, as his followers, and in his power. Our lives are to be surrendered to our Lord to do his will and to obey his calling upon our lives, to go wherever he sends us, and to say whatever he gives us to say for the glory of God and the sake of the gospel.

And we are to be looking to the Lord to solve our problems and to give us the wisdom to make the right decisions and to speak the words he wants us to speak to the people. We are not to put our dependency in other humans, or in other sources, such as in artificial intelligence, to make our decisions for us and to give us the words to say. Sadly, many people today, including Christians, and perhaps some pastors, too, are letting AI do their thinking for them and to replace the Holy Spirit in giving them the words to say.

Our dependency is also not to be in doctors and psychologists and teachers and preachers and heads of government and drugs (medications) to solve our problems. Now the Lord may use doctors and teachers and preachers, etc., to help us, and to give us some guidance, but we should not place our full dependency in them, making them our gods and not God. We should seek the counsel of God first and foremost, and even after we get outside counsel, we should still seek the counsel of God if that is what he wants.

Humans will fail us. They will not get everything right. And some may willfully do us harm with the full intent to destroy us and/or to lead us astray, or to get us to make them our gods in place of God. We need to not be people who immediately run to other sources without first consulting with our Lord, in prayer, seeking his counsel with regard to what steps he has for us to take, and what words he would have us to write or to speak. For letting AI do our speaking for us is not of God, but is of the flesh, so not biblical.

So we need to put our trust fully in the Lord, and we need to let him direct our paths, and we must not run to everyone else or to anything else first before we even consult God. So many liars are trying to convince us that we must depend on them or on drugs or on something other than God to make it through the difficulties of this life. But that is a lie from Satan. God first always, and then let him lead us in the way he would have us to go, even if it does not agree with the thinking and reasoning of other humans.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart

And do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He will make your paths straight.

Do not be wise in your own eyes;

Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.” (Proverbs 3:5-7 NASB1995)
