John 1:1-5 (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

After Bondi Beach, the West Must Directly Confront Jihadism, Experts Say
- Details
- By Dan Hart - The Washington Stand

As the sharp surge in anti-Semitic attacks continues around the globe with the mass-casualty shooting targeting Jews that occurred at Australia’s Bondi Beach on Sunday, experts say that societies and government officials in the West must directly confront Islamist jihadist extremism rather than attempt to address the issue with accommodations and stricter gun control laws.
The Bondi Beach atrocity, which was committed by a Muslim father-son duo who appeared to be inspired by the Islamic State, took the lives of 15 Jews, including a 10-year-old girl, a rabbi, and an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor. Twenty-two more victims are currently hospitalized, including six in critical condition.
Christian Mobilization Effort Reaches One Million ‘to Pray and Vote’ Ahead of 2026 Primary Season
- Details
- By Christians Engaged
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A Christian nonprofit has announced today that it reached its “one million Christians” milestone for mobilizing the church to pray, vote and engage in every U.S. election – ahead of critical primary elections that begin in March 2026.
“Christians are called to be salt and light in our culture,” said Bunni Pounds, founder and president of Christians Engaged, whose state-of-the-art voter mobilization network has reached more than one million Americans across all 50 states, employing “reminders through texts and emails around state and local elections.”
“While the American church has grown apathetic in its stewardship of our rights and liberties,” Pounds said, “reaching this milestone signals that Christians are waking up to demonstrating tangible expressions of their faith by stepping into the voting booth, the ballot box, and the halls of civic engagement.”
Strong Support for Term Limits on Congress in SC U.S. Senate Race
- Details
- By U.S. Term Limits (USTL)

Washington D.C. – U.S. Term Limits (USTL), the leader in the non-partisan national movement to limit terms for elected officials, praises 2026 U.S. Senate candidate for South Carolina, Mark Lynch, for signing the pledge for an amendment to term limit Congress. Previously, candidates Kyle Freeman and Annie Andrews also signed the pledge.
U.S. Term Limits has the support of more than 150 pledge signers in Congress. USTL President Philip Blumel commented on their pledges saying, “This strong support of term limits shows that there are individuals who are willing to put self-interest aside to follow the will of the people. America needs a Congress that will be served by citizen legislators, not career politicians.”
A Balanced Budget Amendment Could Put the Constitution At-Risk
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
The Balancing Budget Conundrum

Our nation’s debt is out of control. We are currently $38.4 trillion in debt, which amounts to $288,000 per household in the United States. In this year alone, the federal government will collect $5.2 trillion from American taxpayers but spend $7 trillion. For decades, legislators and activists have considered various proposals to reel in the power-hungry politicians who keep throwing money at failing programs, forcing them to balance the nation’s books. One of these ideas is to pass a “Balanced Budget Amendment” (BBA) to force spending limits on the executive and legislative branches. However, questions remain as to whether a BBA could actually move politicians to become fiscally responsible, even though fiscal discipline is very much needed. But most concerning is the push by those who seek to open up our Constitution in order to pass a BBA, exposing it to wide-scale revision at a time when our nation is deeply divided.
Stark Violence: An Aberration or Human Nature?

The senseless killing of men, women and children in Australia in a horrific anti-Semitic and anti-human act. Hollywood icon Rob Reiner and his wife having their throats cut while sleeping in bed—by their own son.
These shocking situations appall anyone who has a sense of decency and humanity.
But they beg the question: are these acts an aberration that we should think is infrequent and circling on the periphery of society, or are they part and parcel of human nature?
Republicans Will Win in 2026
- Details
- By Star Parker
In a Wall Street Journal interview a few days ago, President Donald Trump was circumspect regarding his party's prospects in the 2026 congressional elections.
Although no one doubts the president's supreme confidence that he is doing the right things for the country ("I've created the greatest economy in history"), he acknowledged, "that he couldn't predict if that would translate into political gains for Republicans next fall."
The party of the sitting president has picked up congressional seats in midterm elections only twice since World War II: Bill Clinton in 1998 and George W. Bush in 2002. And the case of Bush was far from business as usual. The election followed the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Patriotism was surging, with Bush's approval peaking at 90%, and by the 2002 elections it still was above 60%.
City of Coffeyville Retreats After Constitutional Challenge Over Religious Use of Property

- By Military Bible Association
Churches of Coffeyville Unite to Defend Religious Rights

COFFEYVILLE — The City of Coffeyville has formally withdrawn its attempt to classify an active ministry property as “vacant” and impose escalating annual penalties after the action triggered constitutional scrutiny and a formal legal challenge.
The City’s enforcement of Ordinance No. G-25-04 threatened a $500 annual fee, compounded year after year, unless the property—actively used for ministry and chaplaincy work—was registered as vacant. The building was neither abandoned nor vacant.
When Rev. Dr. James F. Linzey, a retired U.S. Army chaplain, a Wounded Veteran and pastor of Coffeyville Worship Center, went to City Hall to correct the record, the inquiry raised immediate alarm.
What Was the Star of Bethlehem?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
We see it in every Manger scene along with the wise men, and because of that, it is commonly associated with Christmas. The irony, however, is that the wise men may not have arrived until months, to even almost two years, after Jesus was actually born. The question before us is, what was the star of Bethlehem? There have been numerous suggestions, most of which do not even come close to really matching what is described. So, let's dive in and look at the possibilities to see if we can get an idea of what the star really was.
Why Johnny Can't Read

- By Stephen Moore
Reading and math scores are abysmal across the country, as national testing results keep documenting. Illiteracy rates are rising: The number of 16- to 24-year-olds reading at the lowest literacy levels increased from 16% in 2017 to 25% in 2023, according to data from the National Center for Education Statistics.
In some inner-city schools, less than half of kids are reading or doing math at grade-level proficiency. Many high school grads can't read their diplomas.
As an economist, I would submit that this is our greatest crisis. It puts the future of American prosperity in grave danger. Also, the learning gap widens income and wealth disparities.

A Briefing on NATO’s Second Largest Military Force

Turkey has the second largest armed forces in NATO numbering about 485,000, and its army alone numbers 350,000. The United States, with 1.3 million military personnel, has the largest armed forces of 32 NATO members. Poland is a distant third place with armed forces numbering 216,000.
It is difficult to compare the sizes of armies and armed forces. It is a matter of distinguishing active troops from various levels of reserves. France is presently at 200,000 active military personnel; Germany is at 182,000; Italy 166,000; Greece 143,000; and the UK is eighth largest with only 138,000. Spain is close behind with 133,000, and Romania is in the top ten with just over 81,000. By comparison, the Russians have recently increased from 1.1 million to at least 1.3 million. China has over 2.0 million, and India, now having the largest population in the world, has nearly 1.5 million. Remarkably, with a population of only 26.6 million, North Korea has an army of almost 1.3 million.
Largest Catholic Account on Instagram Banned for 'Harassment and Bullying' — But Instagram Lied and Said 'Intellectual Property'
- Details
- By Catholic Connect Inc.

HOUSTON, Texas — Instagram told Catholic Connect — the largest Catholic organization account in the United States — that it was banned for “intellectual property violations.” Then Catholic Connect discovered the truth: Instagram told the person who reported the account that it was banned for “harassment and bullying.” They gave us one reason and our accuser another. Someone at Instagram skipped the Eighth Commandment.
“They claimed IP violations but gave us nothing — no posts, no complaints, no evidence. Then we discovered they told our accuser something completely different: ‘harassment and bullying.’ One ban. Two stories. Zero credibility. We have the screenshots to prove it,” said Richy Orozco, Founder of Catholic Connect Inc.

WAS THE U.S.A. FOUNDED AS A CHRISTIAN ORIENTED LAND?
Last time we opened this discussion with arguments on the premise that the U.S.A. was originally founded as a Christian (or at least a Christian oriented) nation, and I used a series of historic “proofs” for that contention as presented by Dr. David Gibbs, Jr., President of The Christian Law Association, in his book, One Nation Under God. I refer you to last’s week’s Part 1 of this article for a review of Dr. Gibb’s points, that indeed America was founded as at least a Christian oriented nation, and that most of her Founders were historic Christians and were NOT “DEISTS”, as proposed by many of the modern left wing brain damaged enemies of God and Country that infest our nation, with their progressive and unconstitutional agendas of violence and the long-sought Marxist overthrow of our historic Constitutional Republic—agendas which were pushed with vigor during the incompetent administration of Bolshevik Demoncrat “leaders”—Comrades Sleazy Joe and Kommie-La—and the “AUTOPEN” Associate President, during the terrible years of 2021 to 2024.

Government School Funding Nears $1 Trillion as Student Scores Continue to Plummet

- By USPIE

Government schools in America received a collective $946.5 billion in local, state and federal funding in 2023, according to the Reason Foundation.
The breakdown includes local ($403.4 billion), state ($422.8 billion) and federal ($120.3 billion), the Reason Foundation’s K-12 Spending Spotlight 2025 said.
New York had the highest per-student budget at $36,976, followed by New Jersey at $30,267 per student. Idaho spent the least at $11,937.
Just under $1 trillion is a lot of taxpayer money to indoctrinate our children to hate themselves and our country while failing at their real mission to teach kids to read, write and do math.

House Republicans are a baffling group to watch. Here they are, under the gun on health care subsidies, appropriations, the must-pass defense bill, and a basket full of other crises pressing in on them before the clock strikes Christmas, and what are their loudest voices doing? Attacking leadership. While the precious minutes tick down on a to-do list that rivals Santa’s, a group of angry GOP women aren’t putting their heads down, uniting, and racing to solve the problems weighing down Congress, they’re slinging arrows at House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) — and then complaining that the GOP isn’t getting anything done. Grab a dictionary, look up the word “counterproductive,” and you’ll understand exactly what the speaker is dealing with.
Operation Rescue’s 2025 Annual Survey Offers Ground-Level View of the Abortion Cartel – Hard-Hitting Data You Can’t Find Anywhere Else

- By Operation Rescue
WICHITA, Kan. — Operation Rescue just dropped its 2025 Annual Survey, a unique report that provides a broad understanding of abortion in America and equips pro-life advocates with hard-won data to dispel the abortion lobby’s highly coordinated talking points.
The Abortion Cartel has seen record losses this year, but also some alarming trends, especially in the Virtual Back-Alley and chemical abortions. Operation Rescue has documented all of them and offers keen insights and analysis of the post-Roe abortion landscape in 2025.
Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, says, “Operation Rescue stands alone as the only organization — whether pro-life or pro-abortion — that systematically tracks vital data on America’s abortion clinics. We document closures and openings, procedure costs, gestational limits, and a wide range of emerging trends across the abortion industry. No other group provides such an in-depth, ground-level view of the Abortion Cartel and the way it truly operates.”

It’s a joy to help women turn from potential harm and pain into a journey of hope and healing.”

WASHINGTON/BERLIN/KYIV/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – Growing frictions between the United States and its European allies emerged Thursday after tense conversations over how to end Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War Two, the ongoing war in Ukraine.
In Berlin, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte sought to keep allies united, saying Europe will see “a shift” in its defense posture as it increasingly must take responsibility for its own security.
His keynote speech followed U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s remarks late Wednesday that he and European leaders exchanged “pretty strong words” during a call discussing his proposal to end the conflict.
Time of Reassessment America

Even with Thanksgiving joy still in our rear-view mirror and Christmas just around the corner, all the joy and warm feelings beginning to percolate a call is beginning to sound across the land that the elections in November 2026 could decide if America remains free or quickens the pace of sinking. We are at a point in time of reassessment of the American purpose. ALL positioning to run for elected office regardless of local, state or national need to be examined and truly studied as to their posture and belief system. While platforms and slogans matter to voters the psychology and belief system of the candidate matters more. This time, more than ever, the candidate’s belief system is paramount in the fight to preserve this exceptional nation. Do NOT consider a candidate for local or state office as minor in this fight to preserve.
Conservative Victories Abound in National Defense Bill

- By Eagle Forum
NDAA Hits the Target
Every year, Congress passes the Department of Defense (now Department of War) appropriations bill that funds our military. In addition, Congress must also pass a bill that authorizes policies and sets spending limits for our nation’s armed forces — the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). In recent years, the NDAA has been used as the vehicle for implementing leftist programs that led to significantly depressed recruitment and weakened the strength of the military. This year, necessary changes are being made to repair the harmful military policies of the past Administration. President Donald Trump campaigned on this issue and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has already begun the process. This week, Congress is doing its part by codifying these wins in this year’s NDAA.

The most accurate declaration in the article is "fights tell the country a lot about what -- and who -- the fighters care about."
And, indeed, there should be no question what the Democratic Party is about.
That is -- to miss no opportunity to accumulate political power by fostering, as widely and as deeply as possible, a culture of government dependence in America. And to pay the bill for this by bankrupting our country.
