Brace yourself—Caesar shall become more oppressive in 2024

A hand holds a coin depicting a Roman figure on the left, while a statue of a man in Roman attire points towards a sack labeled "Taxes and Duties" on the right.

Despite Congress and the Biden Administration’s brag about not raising taxes, come 2024 your taxes are being significantly raised due to the expiration of the Trump-era tax cuts. In fact, the standard deduction of $26,000 for married couples filing jointly will be cut in half—that’s $13,000 married couples will lose to the government right off…

Pope approves same-sex blessings

A person dressed in white robes standing on a balcony, waving, with a rainbow flag on a flagpole to the right and a stone building facade in the background.

Just in time for Christmas, Pope Francis approved the blessing of same-sex couples “without any type of ritualization or offering the impression of a marriage.” At the same time, the Pope double talked and reasoned out his previous declaration saying “The doctrine regarding marriage does not change, and the blessing does not signify approval of…

Stupidocrisy: COVID Vax Christmas

Three elderly people; one dancing in pajamas, second sitting on a couch in a red sweater, and third holding sparklers with holiday lights in the background.

I was in my football bliss watching games on Saturday last when what to my wondering eyes would appear was a big pharma ad for a COVID vax tying it to Christmas cheer! My immediate impression was that big pharma was trying to get people to show their loved ones that they really cared for…

Discerning the days

A person in a red shirt stands in a grassy field, holding a large tin can with a rope attached to the top.

There is a lot of angst in this world. God’s creation warring against itself. If you read the Biblical prophets, they indicate that things will not get better prior to the return of Christ. There are difficult times ahead, raising many questions. How do we handle it? Do we go with what the world says?…

Wasting and destruction in their paths

A long line of trucks carrying aid is shown stopped at a border. The text mentions expanded inspection capabilities for aid entering Gaza and calls for the UN to do better with aid delivery.

There are what seems to be miles of humanitarian aid trucks lined up to go through inspection points into Gaza for the “Palestinian” civilians. While the United States and other countries are applying pressure on Israel to assist refugees in war-torn terrorist Gaza, it is not Israel, but United Nations bureaucracy that is preventing the…

Stupidocrisy: Hate in the name of humanitarianism

Screenshot of polling data from Quinnipiac University showing approval ratings for Israel's response to the October 7th Hamas attack, with breakdowns by political affiliation, gender, and education.

Those who are demonstrating for a free Palestine “from the river to the sea” are the worst kind of hate mongers. This goes far beyond “antisemitism,” the polite way of expressing hate for Jews. The government is quick to condemn, even criminally charge, those who speak against the LGBTQ+ agenda as hate speech, but marching…

Redemption even in weakness

Close-up of a dictionary page highlighting the word "redemption," showing its pronunciation, part of speech, and partial definition.

There are times in life where we do things we know are wrong. The Apostle Paul writes in Romans 7:18-23, “for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I…

Of censorship and persecution

A message stating that the email was blocked by the recipient's Internet Service Provider due to reputation, content, or filters.

There has been much documentation of how large corporations worked closely with government agencies to manipulate media messaging and conduct outright censorship. COVID is the poster child for this kind of corporate-government coercion. Indeed, American citizens were experiencing the same during the entire Mueller investigation of President Trump over Russian election interference, the Hunter Biden/Joe…
