Archeologists discover materials deposited by water on Mt. Ararat

"Human activity, however, does not a Biblical account prove. The Durupinar formation has been put forth as a potential ark resting place for many years, and has received extensive attention from those hoping to find Noah’s Ark. Despite the hype, archaeologists have consistently reaffirmed over the years that the formation is natural, not the result of a petrified shipwreck
I'm skeptical of the Durupinar formation, and I've also heard claims that it's a natural occurrence, and that may well be. I try to keep an open mind though. I saw a video that showed pictures of the remains of very ancient boats that have decayed away, and they looked remarkably similar to the Durupinar formation. Then you add in all the droge stones in the area, plus the tradition of the church marking the site of Noah's home, the ancient fence and all, and it makes you wonder.

Trump's ICE racks up hundreds of arrests, including illegal immigrants arrested for horror crimes

I am saying that you won't solve the crime problem by indiscriminately scapegoating millions of people and acting as if that will solve the problem of crime.
But fanning the flames of hatred gets votes. Who cares it's not true?
Why do you defend illegal entry and encourage open borders Fantine? Do you believe America or any country shouldn't have sovereignty to control people who come and go?

ICE head accuses Biden administration of ‘cooking the books’ on arrests

It looks like most of what are being called Biden admin deportations, were really just catch and release.
No, that's just wishful/malicious thinking on your part, backed up by nothing.

Message to America from Mark Levin

District courts are the "national court". The Supreme Court only hears cases when they are sent up from the lower courts on appeal. That's how judicial review works in the US.
They do hear cases directly when a government entities is suing another government entity: States suing states, state suing the feds, the feds suing a state.

3 untrue Leftist claims on trans surgeries for minors

Comedian and political commentator Bill Maher recently was a guest on the liberal political podcast "Pod Save America," where he engaged with host John Lovett, a former Obama White House staffer, on a wide-ranging conversation. Things shifted dramatically when Lovett steered the discussion toward the controversial topics of transgenderism and “gender-affirming” surgeries for minors, leading to an increasingly awkward exchange. As Maher struggled to articulate his position, the tension culminated in his abrupt departure from the show.

In this piece, I plan to outline three critical points from their discussion:

1. The claim that there are more than two sexes
2. The conflicting data surrounding “gender-affirming” surgeries
3. Lovett’s provocative comparison of these procedures to life-saving open-heart surgery

My hope is that you will gain a deeper understanding of how the Left presents its evidence to promote more “gender-affirming” treatments for minors, enabling you to confidently engage in conversations with those who want to harm our children with these life-threatening procedures.

Leftist claim #1: There are more than two sexes

It's not "the" left. It's "some" on the left. This is like saying the Conservatives are Nazis when actually very few are Nazis.

    Literature Distribution Leads to Backlash Against Church

    [8] prayers in [1] nation have been posted for Lao church and pastor.
    A local Lao church was blamed for the illegal distribution of Bibles and Christian literature in schools.
    A pastor in Laos was arrested and accused of distributing Christian materials to local schools. In a part of northern Laos where Christians have faced harsh persecution, a church received a call from the district chief of police on Dec. 18, 2024. Two government primary schools had mysteriously received Bibles and pamphlets about salvation in Christ, enough for each student to have one. The police believed the members of this church were responsible for the distribution, which was illegal, but the pastor insisted that he had never even seen the pamphlet before. Read More.

    Christian Convert Rejected by Family

    [10] prayers in [1] nation have been posted for Momina and Mohammed.
    Momina and Mohammed
    When Momina's family rejected her because of her faith, the body of Christ took her in. After the death of her husband, Momina was the sole provider for their young son, Mohammed. She met two Christian women who shared the gospel with her, and through their persistent witness, she came to faith in Christ. Soon after, the Muslim woman whom Momina lived with kicked her out of the house; her Muslim family members tried to kidnap Mohammed; and they refused to help Momina when she was hospitalized for a serious illness in 2024.

What Captivates You?

What do you now believe in?
What captivates your life?
What now gets all your passion?
What in you now is rife?

What gets you up in morning?
Keeps you up late at night?
What satisfies your longings?
What takes you to that height?

What interests you, so you search
For truth of what that is?
What fascinates your thinking,
In search of it you quiz?

What do you feel you’re missing?
That somewhere there’s a hole?
What plans you have to find it?
Do you have any goal?

Have you considered Jesus?
The Son of God, He is.
On earth was God incarnate,
So God, He surely is.

They crucified Him, hating
The things He did and said.
But on that cross He suffered
And put our sins to death.

He died, so we’d die with Him
To sins that we then did,
So we would now live for Him,
And to Him our lives give.

He wants us to obey Him,
Do all that He requires,
And to Him now be faithful,
And His will now desire.

COVID-19 Likely Accidentally Released from the Wuhan Lab

"What's needs to be determined now is how much Dr. Anthony Fauci was involved with the lab."

"... ... ...Exactly what happened next is not publicly documented, so we do need to fill in some gaps. It appears that Munster took Baric’s patented SARS virus-vaccine and made a transmissible version at his Rocky Mountain Lab (Baric’s version was not intended to be transmissible). What is the evidence for that? Perhaps most telling is that, as Jim Haslam observes, SARS-CoV-2 transmits efficiently in only five known mammals, and those five – American deer, American deer mice, Syrian hamsters, American mink and Egyptian fruit bats – are all found in Munster’s (and Fauci’s) Rocky Mountain Lab in Montana. SARS-CoV-2 doesn’t infect lab animals common in Chinese labs or present in the WIV, such as Chinese horseshoe bats. This would suggest that SARS-CoV-2 acquired its transmissibility in an American lab context and not a Chinese one or elsewhere... ... ..."

Does The Color White Reflect More Heat?

Seems like an easy experiment to run. Let us know how it goes and what your findings are. ;)
Yeah, I thought about putting two billiard balls in my microwave - the cue ball and the 8 ball, heat them and measure surface temperature. Of course I'd have to remove the light bulb and cover the door of the oven, but I'm lazy and don't really care that much to go to the trouble. :)

New documentary shows the alarming connection between Hamas and campus protests

Filmmaker Wendy Sachs' 'October 8' exposes antisemitism on college campuses​


Documentary filmmaker Wendy Sachs was with her daughter Lexi at the University of Wisconsin-Madison when she first learned of the October 7, 2023, Hamas terror attack in Israel.



"The images coming out of Israel, babies and children, young people, grandparents being murdered. Their murders were being livestreamed, being put on Facebook. The videos from Telegram of Nova Festival, young people being taken hostage and kidnaped into Gaza," Sachs recalled to Fox News Digital.

But when she saw the surge of antisemitism erupt on college campuses across the country in the following days, she knew she had to do something.

"October 8, when I saw the protests in Times Square, and then I saw what was happening the next day on October 9, and at Harvard, where more than 30 student groups signed onto a letter blaming Israel on the attack on itself. And then we saw the same thing happen from campus after campus, from Columbia to NYU to Tulane to MIT, Cornell, Penn. It just felt like the world had lost its mind," she said. "The silence, the dismissal, the denial."

Hamas knows it can use the political left in the US as useful idiots and vehicles for their propaganda

While I am very critical of Israel, and sympathize with some of the Palestinians, I know Hamas are thugs and terrorists.

The CCP also knows the left in this country will spread their worldview and propaganda. Reddit is owned by a Chinese firm (Tencent) with connections to the party. Infiltrators also target Linkedin --I discovered fake sock accounts pushing the "stop Asian Hate" slogans/campaign, which was engineered to take American attention away from the Wuhan lab and Chinese responsibility for the pandemic back in 2020-21.

Tiger Woods, Vanessa Trump have been dating since last year: report

The two were spotted together at last month's Genesis Invitational​


Tiger Woods, a supporter of President Donald Trump, is reportedly dating the president's former daughter-in-law.

The Daily Mail reports Woods and Vanessa Trump "have been seeing each other since just before Thanksgiving."

"She comes to his place on Jupiter Island. They’re not living together. She comes over and spends the night and leaves in the morning. Maybe a few nights a week," a source told the outlet.

"They just love hanging out, having dinner and schmoozing together. They’re sticking close to home, have decided not to make it a thing and go out in public. Not just yet anyway."

Government shutdown approaching as Senate Democrats refuse to work with Republicans

Yeah this was a huge gamble for the Democrats. If they allowed a shutdown, they could be blamed for any economic downturn turns. If they vote for the CR, whatever happens is going to be on Trump.

I really hope he succeeds in completing his work to cut spending and deal with the woke issues. I certainly hope his tariff behaviors don't interfere with that work.

In All These Things

“But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:37-39 NASB’95)

I live in the USA. My nation is presently undergoing an enormous transition in government, with daily changes being made to the way our government is run. Some of these changes may be for our good, or they may not be for our good. I personally believe that D Trump is God’s instrument of judgment on my nation, but not him only, and because America, as a nation, and the church in America, at large, have gone so far away from God and his design and purpose for the lives of those who believe in Christ as their Savior.

Tomorrow, by midnight (EST in America), our government heads are supposed to decide on the budget for running this nation, but if they cannot agree, from what I understand, that will result in a government shutdown. I am not well versed in what that means, and evidently this has happened before, for a short period of time. But in reality, with the way things are going and how crazy so much of this seems, anything is possible, I believe. So, to a certain degree, I have to anticipate and to prepare for the worst.

And I admit that there is a lot about government and taxes and economics and budgets and global relationships that I do not understand. But what I do understand is that we are living in very troubled times, and that my nation right now does not appear to be united or stable, and it seems ripe for an explosion of some sort to shake the very foundation of what we have always known as America. I personally believe we are very close to the rule of the beast and the time of great tribulation to come upon the earth.

We live in a time period when there is so much fakery, so many people in disguise, and so many liars and deceivers and manipulators manipulating people’s minds and emotions. There is so much angst and the deliberate act of pitting people groups, one against the other, in order to stir up hatred and violence, for they want us hating and fighting each other. They want us divided, because then they can come to the “rescue” with their preplanned solution for how to solve our “problems,” which largely they created.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is massively being altered to appeal to human flesh and to cater to the ungodly and the people of the world. For they want to attract the world and the ungodly into their gatherings in order to grow their numbers. But so many of these modern day institutional market-driven “churches” (businesses) are marketing the church and God/Christ and his gospel to the world, but in a way to attract the world, and so many of them are teaching lies instead of the truth. And many are addicted to sin.

For it appears that the majority are not teaching the gospel as taught by Jesus and by his New Testament apostles, in context, but they are teaching an altered gospel taken mostly from Scriptures taught outside their original context, and made to say what they do not say if taught in their appropriate context. And so they are teaching a “feel good” gospel which requires of their “believers” only that they acknowledge faith in Jesus Christ, and then they are promised forgiveness of all sins and heaven as their eternal destiny.

But Jesus taught that if anyone would come after him that he must deny self, take up his cross daily (die daily to sin) and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to our lives of living in sin and for self, we will lose them for eternity. But if we deny self, die to sin, in practice, by the Spirit, and we now walk (in conduct) in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in holy living, then we have forgiveness of sins and eternal life with God, but provided that we stay the course and we continue in Christ until the very end.

[Matt 7:13-14,21-23; Matt 24:9-14; Lu 9:23-26; Jn 6:44; Jn 8:31-32; Jn 15:1-12; Rom 2:6-8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:24; Rom 11:17-24; Rom 13:11; 1 Co 1:18; 1 Co 15:1-2; Gal 5:16-24; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 5:3-6; Col 1:21-23; 2 Tim 1:8-9; 2 Tim 2:10-13; Heb 9:28; Heb 3:6,14-15; 1 Pet 1:5,9; 2 Pet 1:5-11; 2 Pet 2:20-22; 1 Jn 1:5-10; 1 Jn 2:3-6,15-17,24-25; 1 Jn 3:4-10]

But, as followers of Jesus Christ, who are dying to sin daily, by the Spirit, and who are walking (in conduct) in obedience to our Lord, in practice, and who are sharing the truth of the gospel, and not the lies, many of us are being opposed and/or persecuted and/or rejected and ignored and cast aside as unnecessary and as unwanted by those who reject the truth and who are following after the lies, instead. And as matters get much worse, we are in danger of more severe persecution, and even death for our walks of faith.

And as the people of America, and the people of the world, if we are living in the times I believe we are living in, we are in for a rough ride ahead when the world all comes together as one under the rule of “the beast,” which is a time known as “the tribulation,” the second half of which is “the great tribulation,” as I understand it. I do not believe in a pre-tribulation rapture of the church, as a whole, and if we read the book of Revelation we will see that the saints of God will be on the earth during this time, and will be killed.

But we do not have to give way to fear, and we should never yield our devotion over to “the beast” or to any human entity which may require that we compromise our faith and convictions in order to unite with the world as one. For, by faith in Jesus Christ, we can live as conquerors over any fears or over any enemies, in that we do not let them conquer us but that we remain true to the Lord, even if it means persecution and death. So don’t let any of this “take you out.” Stay true to the Lord, even to the death. Glory to God!

Illinois Dem lawmaker pushes bill to legalize attacks on police for people having mental health episode

Critics say the bill would embolden those who attack police​


An Illinois lawmaker has introduced a bill that critics say will make it legal for anyone experiencing a mental health episode to attack police officers.

Democratic state Rep. Lisa Davis, an attorney in the Law Office of the Cook County Public Defender's office, introduced House Bill 3458 in February.

Under the terms of the legislation, the bill would "[provide] that it is a defense to aggravated battery when the individual battered is a peace officer and the officer responded to an incident in which the officer interacted with a person whom a reasonable officer could believe was having a mental health episode and the person with whom the officer interacted has a documented mental illness and acted abruptly."

This looks like another wacky law coming from a progressive left wing liberal politician to me.
