May the Powerful Take the Land of the Weak?
Elijah was one of the greatest prophets in Judeo-Christian Scripture. He arrived in Biblical history during the reign of Ahab (874-853 BC) over the northern Kingdom of Israel, which had split from the Kingdom of Judah after the death of Solomon in 930 BC. Ahab, whose capital was in Samaria, was the seventh king of Israel and is described in 1 Kings 16: 30-33 as being by far the most wicked and ungodly of the seven.
“Ahab son of Omri did more evil in the eyes of the Lord than any of those before him.He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal and worship him.He set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he built in Samaria. Ahab also made an Asherah pole and did more to arouse the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, than did all the kings of Israel before him.”

Defamation of a Gallant Soldier, Selfless Patriot, and True Christian
January 19 will mark the 218th anniversary of the birth of Robert E. Lee in 1807, one of the most respected and revered military leaders in American history. That respect and reverence extends over most of the world, wherever military leadership is studied. Robert E. Lee’s birthday was once celebrated as an official holiday in most Southern states.
The number of holidays or commemorative days for Robert E. Lee has dropped considerably, however, in the last two decades. Only four states now commemorate Lee as an official holiday or observance: Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Alabama and Mississippi celebrate a combined Lee and Martin Luther King holiday, and Arkansas now has only a commemorative day, but these and others have become largely invisible in politics and the media.
Negotiating the End and Terms of the Ukraine War

Background for Factual, Historical, and Demographic Analysis
Western mass media propaganda creates the impression that Ukraine is a virtuous democratic country united against an “unprovoked invasion” by Russia on February 24, 2022. There are two major factors that caused Russia’s Special Military Action that might more rightly be called an intervention rather than an unprovoked invasion. First of all, in 2008 at the Bucharest NATO Summit, George W. Bush, probably heavily influenced by Dick Chaney, Bush’s Vice President from 2001 to 2009, pushed NATO to make Ukraine and Georgia members. This was all part of an intrigue and “Great Game,” started by the British and including the Crimean War of 1853, to block Russia from access to the Black Sea. At the NATO Summit in 2008, Bush got some pushback from Germany and France, but nevertheless pushed through a NATO resolution to make Ukraine and Georgia members of NATO. At the time, Ukraine was constitutionally neutral and a majority of Ukrainians had no interest in NATO or the European Union. A large part of their trade was with Russia.
The High Costs of Ignoring God

Government and Every Human Sphere of Influence Are Accountable to God
The American people have been bamboozled for more than two generations now into believing that their government can safely ignore God and his moral standards. The underlying presumption of this folly is that the God of the Bible is irrelevant—that there is not really a God at all, or if there is a God, that He is either too impotent or too distant to be concerned with the affairs of men. This humanist philosophy presumes that the wisdom of man is the standard of all things. There is no fear of a God who is all-powerful, all-wise, sovereign over all of nature and the affairs of men, and who is himself the one and absolute standard of truth, good and right.

Another Tragic Chapter in American Foreign Policy
On December 8, Islamist Sunni Muslim rebel forces identified as the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) occupied Damascus, the capital of Syria, effectively overthrowing the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Bashar al-Assadi had been president of Syria for 24-years, since his father died in 2000. His father, Hafez al-Assad, was a Syrian Air Force General, who had taken over the Syrian government in a coup in 1971. Bashar al-Assad and his family were flown to Moscow by their Russian allies.
