The recent abrupt death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia focuses attention on the looming fight for the rule of law upon which the United States of America is founded. What is at stake — literally — is whether the U.S. Constitution with all of its guarantees and protections will continue to be our firm foundation. Or will it become, as the Left in America wants, simply a rulebook that can be amended at the whim of any judge to
What is happening right now in the Middle East is unprecedented as far as I’m concerned. Of course, if you just get your news from the American mainstream media, you’ve no idea to what I’m referring. If it’s not promoting the Palestinians or denigrating the Israelis, singing the praises of John Kerry or listing the transgressions of Benjamin Netanyahu, lamenting setbacks to the BDS movement (Boycott, Divest, Sanction Israel) or applauding Iran’s return to global acceptance, then it’s buried deep
America’s eyes have [recently] been on New Hampshire. But we’ve been so focused on the outcome of the presidential primaries, we have not noticed the dark specter that is rising there. According to several recent polls, the number one concern for New Hampshire residents is not who will be the Democrat or Republican nominee. It’s not the economy. It’s not even President Obama’s number one concern: climate change. Surprisingly, the issue that is uppermost for the greatest number of New
The migrant crisis in Europe has lately been appearing more frequently in the headlines. That’s mainly because some European nations are being forced to take steps to reverse the damage. In fact, some of the more liberal, multiculture-oriented nations are being overwhelmed by the human tsunami they have welcomed into their midst. But one of the more alarming and surprising results of this liberality is manifesting itself in Sweden. A recent study shows that for every 100 Swedish girls ages
The 2016 World Economic Forum, held annually in Davos Switzerland, ended last week. It displayed a bizarre blend of panic and political correctness. Each year, the WEF brings together more than 2,500 of the world’s elite, including many heads of state. They discuss pressing issues facing the world. These are the movers and shakers of business, government, and academia whose actions often have great impact on world events. This year’s discussions were chock full of political correctness, but there was
“I remember how frustrated I became when, as a young atheist, I examined specimens under the microscope,” wrote Dr. Douglas Oliver. “I would often walk away and try to convince myself that I was not seeing examples of extraordinary design…” But the more Oliver studied the complexities of the natural world … the more inadequate he found atheistic and evolutionary explanations.* Today Dr. Oliver is among a growing number of former atheists who value the biblical truths of creation. It
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry recently admitted that Hezbollah has 70 to 80,000 rockets (all aimed at Israel, by the way), “…and much of it supplied, obviously, across the border from Iran through Damascus.” Yet he and President Obama proudly pushed the Iran deal through. Because, I think, to most Americans and Europeans, Iran having nuclear weapons is simply “theoretical.” We don’t feel threatened by it (though we should), so who cares? But Israel will be the target of
Within days of Implementation Day for the Iran Nuclear Agreement (JCPOA) and the release to Iran of more than a hundred billion dollars in frozen assets (and other juicy perks), Iran captured two U.S. Navy Riverine Command Boats that were “disabled” in the Persian Gulf. They only held the sailors for a day (enough time to shoot some propaganda video) before releasing them. Secretary of State John Kerry thanked the Iranians for being such good guys and helpful world citizens
The ACLU is concerned about a new program recently instituted by the government of China. It is designed to encourage compliance with the Communist regime. In a few years, though, it will enforce compliance with the regime. Today, it is voluntary. By 2020, it will be mandatory. In China, everyone has an identity card. Using that card, computers will automatically track all data on every citizen, assigning each one a “credit score.” That sounds innocent enough. In the United States,
From the perspective of Bible prophecy, 2015 may be remembered as the year Satan’s key project began to rise. Since at least the time of Nimrod, Satan has been laying the groundwork for a one-world government, with his man in charge. Through the millennia since, he’s had successes and setbacks. But in 2015, the foundation became complete enough for him to begin building the actual edifice. [2015] seemed to bring us to the critical time when Satan’s one-world order got
Throughout history and to this day, a country or nation called Palestine has never existed. This was re-affirmed again today when Jim Fletcher wrote: “Yet no archaeologist has ever uncovered evidence of an ancient “Palestinian” civilization. No one denies that there are presently “Palestinians,” but the very term is a political one, created only a few decades ago. It was designed to fool people into thinking there has always been a Palestinian presence in the land, making their claims equal
Fox News reported on December 16, that a Muslim Civil Court judge in New York City was sworn in using the Koran, the holy book of Islam, as a testament to her radical Islamic belief system. That a judge or politician can now legally swear allegiance to the Islamic ideology, one that allows wife-beating, abuse of children, and other crimes that would usually be considered aberrations in Western countries, is a stark change to the previous, God-inspired value system of the United States.
