Why Are Teachers Unions Celebrating a Communist Holiday?

 There is a huge battle raging for the hearts and minds of our children.  Sadly the far left has taken over the education system of America and are openly indoctrinating our children with socialist fantasy and LGBTQ ideology.  Today we read that the largest union will be giving a nod to the communist holiday on May 1.  We can pray that enough Bible believing parents are going to seek other educational opportunities for their children because the public schools seem to have turned into a platform to make Democrat voters out of the next generation of kids.

********************

The National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) are joining other leftist groups and encouraging members to celebrate May Day Strong National Day of Action with hundreds of rallies across the country. 

To be clear, the events taking place on May 1 aren’t a celebration of spring, with frolicking around maypoles, wearing flower wreaths and delivering baskets of spring blossoms to friends. 

May Day, also known as International Workers Day, started as a commemoration of a violent labor feud in Chicago in 1886, with workers protesting unsafe working conditions and striking to win an eight-hour workday. But anarchist, Marxist, socialist and labor groups quickly adopted the day in 1899. 

Communist countries used May Day to celebrate their military power and the government takeover of private property and the means of production. 

May Day Strong is an anti-capitalist political event, rooted in Marxist and socialist ideologies. 

But I’m sure the educators in these unions know their history. 

Many individual teachers love children, do good work and are subject matter experts, but it’s clear that the two largest teachers unions have been co-opted by radical activists. 

The NEA and AFT are part of a May Day Strong coalition, with hundreds of other leftist member groups promoting this year’s focus: “Workers Over Billionaires.” These extremist organizations are calling for a day of “No work. No school. No shopping.” 

The NEA explains what the Day of Action entails, saying: “This May Day will be a day of rallies, marches, teach-ins, labor actions, and a refusal of business as usual – because when those at the top rig the system, collective action is how we set it right.”

The NEA is the largest labor union in the U.S., claiming 2.8 million members. It has created a May Day 2026 Toolkit and a Walk-In Guide for educators to use as they “join workers, parents, students, and community members to rise up for dignity, justice, and public investment in our lives, not in billionaires’ profit margins.” 

Walk-Ins are 30-45 minute events before the school day where “parents, educators, and students, along with neighbors and community leaders” meet in front of their school for a rally. During school hours, teachers are encouraged to have students create artwork and write reports about the day. 

Again, this is a political event, with teachers unions encouraging the indoctrination of children into Marxist and socialist ideologies. 

The NEA lists its “demands to build the society we ALL deserve”: 

• “Stop the billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump administration.”
• “Protect and defend Medicaid, Social Security and other programs working people rely on.”
• “Fully fund public schools, healthcare and housing for all.”
• “Stop the attacks on our communities, including policies targeting immigrants, people of color, Native people, people with disabilities, and those who identify as LGBTQ+.”

The AFT and NEA join dozens of extremist anti-capitalist groups like the Communist Party USA, Labor Notes, Socialists Alternative and Democratic Socialists of America to celebrate and promote Marxist ideologies. 

In a post on X, Moms for Liberty questioned why teachers unions are pushing children toward leftist political dogma – instead of teaching the basics:  “Teachers unions are supposed to teach kids, not mobilize political agitation. Now NEA, WEA [Washington Education Association], AFT, and Seattle Ed are backing May Day Strong, pushing ‘educate, agitate, organize,’ walk-ins, and power-building. Parents should be asking: what exactly are our schools being used for?”

Meanwhile, the Chicago Teachers Union, one of the largest AFT local groups, is calling for total school closures and promoting participation in the event as a “civic duty.” 

Parents of children in public schools generally think their local schools are doing a good job. And, again, many schools and teachers do terrific work. 

But national surveys demonstrate low academic achievement among most students. According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, known as the Nation’s Report Card, fewer than two thirds of American eighth graders can do math (26%), read (30%), or do science (31%) at grade level.

Despite their rhetoric, teachers unions don’t advocate for students – they advocate for teachers. Perhaps if educators spent less time agitating, organizing and power-building, we would see students performing better.

Israel Promotes Huge LGBTQ+ Festival

 You don’t have to read the Bible very long to see that ancient Israel had a pattern;  cry out to God for deliverance when things were bad.  But as soon as He delivered them and things were good, they would return to their perversion and sin only to be destroyed again.

This article below explains the massive Pride festival to be held in Israel held at the very locations of Sodom and Gomorrah which were destroyed in part for their gay perversion.

Remember, the Jews are God’s chosen people.  Chose for what?  Chosen to deliver the Word of God, the Messiah Jesus and to show the world blessings and curses which come from obedience and disobedience to our Creator.

Pride comes before the fall.  Reading articles like this shows us just how near we are to The Time of Jacob’s Trouble.  And of course the rapture precedes this Time.

*****************

The official X account of Israel, which is run by the Israeli Foreign Ministry, promoted an upcoming four-day LGBTQ+ pride festival in June at the Dead Sea, which some detractors on social media noted is the traditional location of Sodom and Gomorrah.

"Pride rises at the lowest place on earth," the Monday post read. "This June the Dead Sea becomes Pride Land, the biggest LGBTQ+ festival ever in the Middle East. Four days of nonstop celebration community and connection. Israel celebrates its LGBTQ+ community bigger than ever."

"Pride Land," which is slated to celebrate LGBT behavior from June 1-4, will transform a part of the Judaean Desert near the Dead Sea into a 24-hour city with 15 hotels, beach facilities and a central performance arena that will host continuous entertainment from prominent Israeli performers, according to The Jerusalem Post.

The event will also purportedly provide family-friendly areas with activities for children, as well as workshops for families.

Aaron Cohen, who is the main producer and initiator of the event, told the outlet that the scale of the festival is unprecedented.

Democrats Pretend to be on Team Pope

Democrats love abortion.  The Pope doesn’t.  Democrats love LGBTQIA+.  The Pope doesn’t.

So why are Democrats all of a sudden all about the Pope?   Because they will insert themselves on any side of a disagreement that doesn’t have Trump on it.  They hope to sew seeds of discord within the Catholic community as the mid-terms approach because Catholics were a huge voting block for Trump.

******************

 Just as liberal elites are currently attempting to drive a wedge between Catholics and Evangelicals, they are also attempting to open up a rift between Catholics and the Republican Party – specifically President Donald Trump.

The ongoing public spat between Trump and Pope Leo XIV over U.S. immigration policy and the war in Iran has provided the perfect opportunity for the Left to sow anti-GOP sentiment among the all-important Catholic voting bloc ahead of the midterm elections. But what conservatives – and Catholic conservatives especially – must realize is that the Left does not suddenly care about defending the Pope or Catholic teaching. Rather, they hope that by pretending to be on “Team Pope” they can manipulate Catholics into voting against their own interests – and undermine President Trump in the process.

This hypocritical attempt to get Catholics to move left, however, presents both hilarious dark humor and a dangerous situation.

That there is – or can be – a real tension between religion and politics is not unusual. No Catholic (or any other Christian) thinks that earthly politicians do all things well or even correctly. Thus the disagreement over the Iran War, with Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Rubio (both Catholic) supporting American military strikes and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and various individual bishops supporting Pope Leo’s comments that are critical of the conflict.

The debate over the wisdom and justice of American military action in Iran is natural and indeed a good thing. The canons of just war theory, which have long been accepted in Catholic, Protestant, and even some secular circles, are not simple, connect-the-dots rules. They require interpretation.

The USCCB posted a summarized version of those canons taken from The Catechism of the Catholic Church. While many simply take the papal opposition to the Iran strikes as dispositive, that is not the end of the question. Catholics believe (a hard claim, to be sure, for other Christians) that popes can speak infallibly, meaning without error, on certain occasions. But those occasions are rare and carefully defined. They rarely include prudential decisions about complicated applications of moral reasoning that might be decided in different ways.

In fact, even among Catholics, there are different applications of just war theory. The eminent Catholic philosopher Edward Feser has argued, for reasons he spells out, that the Iran War is unjust. The eminent Catholic philosopher J. Budziszewski’s argument, on the other hand, concludes that “it seems to me that this war is just.”

It is worth noting here that the Catechism states: “The evaluation of these conditions for moral legitimacy [of war] belongs to the prudential judgment of those who have responsibility for the common good.”

Of course, even that is part of the debate. Professor Feser thinks the Iran War requires a Congressional declaration to be just, while Professor Budziszewski argues that, “Despite claims to the contrary, the administration has followed the provisions of America’s War Powers Act.”

Some believe (and this writer is among them) that the Iran debate among Catholics is not the real issue. For Pope Leo and the American anti-Trump bishops, the real dispute is over questions of immigration, welfare, and globalization more generally.

These, too, however, are issues of prudential judgment about policy that are still delegated to the public authorities and not churchmen, even if it is perfectly reasonable that churchmen be able to offer their own opinions on matters of public record.

Catholics know that the Catechism doesn’t merely encourage wealthy nations to be generous to those seeking security or prosperity in a different country. It also outlines what countries may do legally and what immigrants must do in the countries to which they wish to immigrate. “Political authorities,” it teaches, “for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions, especially with regard to the immigrants’ duties toward their country of adoption.”

In other words, we are not obligated to make immigration easy, especially for those who disregard American law. The Catechism adds, “Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens.”

There is, then, a very solid case for our restrictive immigration policy even from a Catholic standpoint—whether or not Catholics agree with every single aspect of the policy. Of course, there are many other issues on which Catholics will take issue with the Trump administration and Republicans more generally. That is not surprising. As G.K. Chesterton observed, Catholics are bound to agree on a few things and bound to disagree on the rest. And that goes especially for issues so complicated as national policies about a country with the size and complexity of ours.

Also unsurprising is the attempt to exploit these internal Catholic disagreements for the benefit of Democrats. As demographer Ryan Burge has noted, Catholics have turned red since 2008, when they voted 50/50 in the presidential election. In 2024, they voted 56-42 for Trump over Harris. Republicans have a 2-1 advantage over Democrats in the white Catholic vote. Among non-white Catholics, while only 24 percent voted for Trump in 2016, 40 percent did so in 2024.

One may not be able to speak of a unitary “Catholic vote” anymore, but one can say that Catholics have leaned increasingly right in recent years.

The reasons for that leaning are pretty obvious. Democrats have become the party of abortion absolutism, LGBTQ+ ideology (including gender-mutilation for kids!), and even euthanasia. All of these go directly against Catholic teaching. While Republicans have not always done the best job of opposing Democrats on these issues, it’s still a no-brainer which party more closely aligns with biblical values.

The absurdity of Democrats claiming that they are “on Team Pope,” as did Senator Ed Markey, famous for wearing a pin that reads “ABORTION” on his jacket, would probably be considered too implausible for fiction.

Equally absurd is Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker posting a picture of himself shaking hands with Pope Leo, who vainly begged the politician to veto a physician-assisted suicide bill. Even more outrageous, the caption to that photo read, “The Pope lifts his voice as part of a higher calling – one centered on peace and the preservation of human life.” One wonders how Pritzker squares that praise with his own personal support for radical abortion policies and the state-sanctioned murder of the sick and elderly.

Catholics are famous for taking a realistic approach to politics. While nobody thinks Donald Trump or Republicans are perfect on every prudential issue, they know that the Democrats are “not on Team Pope” – except perhaps when they can cynically exploit the papacy to hurt President Trump.

With regard to the black-and-white issues on which no Catholic (or indeed any sane person of any faith) can disagree, the Democrats have no intention of even considering listening to the Pope – or any other biblical authority, for that matter.

Yale University Admits Playing a Part in Crumbling Trust

 This is a great start!  Now let’s hope and pray that other woke colleges and universities follow.  And then maybe the public schools of America that take all their cues from the NEA, the largest union in America which has been taken over by incredibly woke teachers and administrators.

******************

Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut blamed itself and other elite colleges for having played a role in crumbling public trust in higher education in a new committee report published on Wednesday.

Racial preferences in admissions, prohibitive sticker prices, declining academic standards, and advocacy of divisive progressive causes which polarized the American public to the point that “national divorce” became a byword on social media in recent years all contribute to a sense that elite higher education considers itself a class apart and above regular people, the report said.

Citing polling showing that just over a third of Americans, 36 percent, have “confidence” in higher education as opposed to 57 percent who did in 2016, it noted that “trust in higher education has declined faster than in other institutions and sectors.”

The statistics reveal uncertainty regarding the purpose of higher education and its relevance to a democracy that is contemptuous of gatekeepers and hollow indicators of status.

Yale University’s own opaque system of “preferences” in undergraduate admissions — which it said privileges the wealthy, athletes, and some minorities — is one source of discontent that needs to be addressed, the report said.

Yale University infamously adopted racial preferences under the leadership of president Kingman Brewster in the 1960s, despite growing evidence that the practice created an environment of academic maladjustment and racial division. This led to the creation of segregated programming and academic programs for African Americans, as well as a summer remedial program for minority students — PROP (Pre-Orientation Program) — that was eventually rebranded in the late 1990s when its apparent subtext proved unpalatable to a new generation of students.

“We recommend that Yale reduce preferences for special classes of applicants. We also believe that the admissions system can be made more effective and less onerous for applicants by establishing and making a public minimum standard of academic achievement necessary for consideration,” the report continued. “Under the current system, Yale informs potential students that everything matters, leaving applicants scrambling to second-guess what the university wants.”

The report authors, drawn from across Yale’s faculty, went on to recommend adopting a “minimum SAT score” or “Yale specific entrance exam” to “ensure that no student is admitted without the requisite academic preparation ability.”

Elite undergraduate admissions is a matter of growing importance to the Jewish community, as it has seen its representation in some Ivy League institutions plunge. According to a report issued by the Harvard Jewish Alumni Alliance in March, Jewish undergraduate enrollment at Harvard has plummeted to lows not seen since the eve of World War II and the Holocaust, falling to just 7 percent.

The same report also found that Jews are the only minority group at Yale University whose admittance rates have declined since the university expanded the size of its undergraduate class in 2018. The revelation has revived memories of elite education’s 20th century practice of “restriction,” by which admissions officers relied on a “holistic assessment” of applicants to deny admission to Jews.

Yale’s new report also touched on the charged issue of viewpoint diversity, a point of vulnerability for most universities.

“The campus has not been immune from pressures toward conformity, intimidation, and social shaming that have affected the rest of higher education and, indeed, the rest of American society,” it said, referencing a 2015 viral incident in which a Yale undergraduate shrieked at professor Nicholas Christakis because he had implored progressive students not to be hypersensitive over Halloween costumes portraying people of color. “Echo chambers do not produce the best teaching, research, or scholarship.”

Trump Addresses Concern About 10 Dead or Missing Scientists With UFO Ties

 This first came to our attention a few months ago.  It seems too much for a simple coincidence.  Someone finally pointed it our to Karoline Levitt and she said she would bring it up with Trump.  And within a few days we have a headline of Trump looking into this anomaly.

President Donald Trump has been briefed on the 10 U.S. scientists that have either disappeared or died in the past few years, calling the situation "pretty serious stuff."

Trump issued the warning a day after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the administration would look into the cases. The remarks come amid growing scrutiny and unanswered questions surrounding multiple scientists whose disappearances or deaths have drawn national attention and fueled concern within the scientific community. Officials have not confirmed any links between the cases, but Trump’s comments signal heightened White House awareness as investigators work to determine whether the incidents are isolated or part of a broader threat.

Trump added that he hoped the disappearances and deaths were "coincidence," but that White House officials would know more in the next week and a half.

"Some of them were very important people, and we're going to look at it over the next short period," Trump told reporters on Thursday.

When reached on Thursday afternoon, the White House referred Newsweek to the president's comments.

While there has been no established link between the cases, the clustering has prompted growing public scrutiny and calls for closer examination. Leavitt said this week that the Trump administration would seek answers after reports highlighted a wave of scientists who have either died or vanished since 2023.

Here;  Donald Trump Issues Warning on Missing, Dead Scientists: ‘Serious Stuff’ - Newsweek

If you go to the link above you can read the details on who is dead and who is missing.

Of course this is all happening while the world waits for DISCLOSURE (of aliens and UFO's) coming from the White House.  Trump's daughter has said they he already has the speech written.  So how could this all be related?  We have no idea.

Ukraine Takes Russian Position Using Only Drones and Robots

Imagine drones in the air with night vision who can see you running through the woods and can fly at you going 100 mph and execute you with perfectly placed bullet.  Imagine robots, some on tracks with guns, some humanoid with infrared eyes and guns in both hands, walking up on your position.  They have no fear, they have no caution, they have no remorse.  They just keep coming at you until everyone is dead.  

Welcome to the new world of war.  He with the best robots will control the world.

**********************

Ukraine says its forces captured a Russian position using only unmanned systems, including aerial drones and ground robots, without Ukrainian infantry taking part in the assault and without suffering any losses.

If confirmed, the operation would offer one of the clearest signs that warfare is entering a new phase, in which machines are no longer just supporting troops but are beginning to take on frontline combat roles of their own.

The claim has not yet been fully independently verified. However, it is consistent with Ukraine’s rapidly expanding and increasingly well-documented use of drones and ground robots for front-line support, logistics, and limited offensive operations.

For years, analysts have viewed Ukraine’s defense against Russia’s invasion as a brutal proving ground for cheap drones, electronic warfare, and attritable robotics. But taking and holding ground has remained a much harder test than reconnaissance or strike missions.

Terrain is still the currency of war. That is what makes Ukraine’s latest claim so significant. It suggests unmanned systems may be evolving from support tools into platforms capable of helping seize enemy ground.

 “For the first time in the history of this war, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned platforms – ground systems and drones,” Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an April 13 addressmarking Ukraine’s Arms Makers’ Day. “The occupiers surrendered, and the operation was carried out without infantry and without losses on our side.”

During his Arms Makers’ Day remarks, President Zelensky said Ukrainian robotic ground systems built by manufacturers including Ratel, TerMIT, Ardal, Rys, Zmiy, Protector, and Volia had carried out more than 22,000 front-line missions in just three months, amounting to thousands of cases in which robots entered dangerous areas instead of soldiers.

The Pope at a Mosque

 Isn’t this wonderful bridge building when 2 great religions can come together in respect and agreement…NOT!

The liberals love it.  “All religions are about love acceptance and tolerance!”  

But Bible believers should understand that the Pope is on thin ice with their false theology and Muslims are totally out of the fold.  

This news about the Pope puts him one step closer to being a good candidate to fulfill the role of False Prophet who will steer people to the one-world-religion ushered in by the Antichrist.

Jesus is not one way, He’s the ONLY way!  Saying something else puts you out of the gathering mode and plants you firmly in the scattering mode.

******************

Pope Leo XIV's recent visit to the Mosque of Algiers--where he removed his shoes, stood in silent reflection before the mihrab, and expressed gratitude for being in "a place that represents the space proper to God"--is not a harmless gesture of goodwill. It is a deeply consequential moment that raises serious questions about how the highest office in the Catholic Church is choosing to represent Christian truth in the public square.

Because this is not simply about respect. No one is arguing against basic courtesy toward Muslims or any other religious group. Christians are called to love their neighbors and treat sacred spaces with dignity. But what happened in Algiers went beyond respect and entered the realm of symbolic participation--actions that inevitably communicate theological agreement where none exists.

Standing in silent reflection in a mosque, directly before the mihrab--the directional focal point of Islamic worship--is not a neutral act. It is not the same as visiting a historical site or engaging in dialogue in a conference room. It is entering a space defined by a specific act of worship to God as understood in Islamic theology, and participating in its atmosphere of devotion without any accompanying doctrinal clarification.

When the Pope then describes the mosque as "a space proper to God," the problem intensifies. Proper to which understanding of God? Christianity and Islam do not simply differ in language; they differ in the most foundational claims about who God is, how He is known, and how He has revealed Himself. To speak in generic terms of shared divine space is not bridge-building--it is theological flattening.

This is not an isolated misstep. It sits within a wider pattern of interfaith language emerging from the Vatican over recent years, particularly under Pope Francis, that has repeatedly blurred distinctions between Christianity and other religions in ways that have caused legitimate concern among clergy and theologians.

Pope Francis famously stated that "every religion is a way to arrive at God," and described religions as "different languages" pointing toward the same divine reality. He also declared that "God is God for all," and placed Sikh, Hindu, Muslim, and Christian traditions within a shared framework of spiritual pathways.

Those are not minor semantic choices. They represent a shift in tone that directly challenges the historic Christian claim that salvation is found uniquely in Jesus Christ. When the Pope speaks in this way, confusion is not just possible--it is inevitable.

This is precisely why the Algiers visit matters. It is not an isolated gesture of kindness. It is part of a trajectory in which symbolic actions and ambiguous language increasingly replace doctrinal clarity.

Iran Crumbles, Critics Scramble

 I think by now most of us realize that the mainstream media wake up every day looking for something that can make anything Trump does look bad.

If you aren’t familiar with historian, Victor Davis Hanson, please watch this video he recently posted about what’s happening in the long game with the war in Iran.

There is some really great news but the critics will scramble to put a bad spin on everything.

How Easter Turned Into Blasphemy at The White House

Yesterday, Trump posted an meme of himself created by someone else.  It disturbed a lot of his regular supporters.  It appeared that the meme was comparing Trump to Jesus Christ, reaching down to heal a person as he was clothed in robes.  When pressed Trump said, “I posted it because I thought it was me being a doctor from the Red Cross, which we support.”  That’s a lie.  Trump has since deleted the post but you can find it all over social media if you want to see it.

We need to pray for Trump like never before.  We are quite concerned that his spiritual head, Paula White, is speaking lies to him.  She is a wolf dressed up as a “pastor”.  I think we all know Trump has an ego the size of a blimp and if she is whispering lies from the Evil One into his ear it’s quite possible that the blimp could be inflated past a sustainable level.

*****************************

On Easter Sunday, when Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Donald Trump posted the following message on his Truth Social: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

On Christianity’s highest holy day, we saw a president who claims to be Christian sending a message full of profanity and describing an attack on civilian infrastructure that would bring massive suffering and even death to ordinary people, while mocking the religion of Islam.

The suggestion of such actions carries weight. To target infrastructure civilians depend on is widely understood by military leaders and legal experts as a war crime. Whether or not such threats are carried out, they have an impact on any future deal conversations.

Then, at a White House Easter lunch service, we witnessed profound blasphemy. Religious leaders gathered around Trump, and a sacred moment that could have brought peace and truth-telling was misused, and religion was abused.

Paula White, who heads the White House Faith Office, compared Donald Trump to Jesus Christ, calling him the “greatest champion of faith that we’ve ever seen in a president.” She made this parallel repeatedly in her remarks, comparing Trump’s alleged suffering to that of Jesus, saying that no one had paid a price like he had, that he had been falsely accused, and that, like Jesus, he had risen into victory. She even said that because of the resurrection, God’s victory was now being worked out through Trump in all he does. I guess that includes war crimes?

Evangelist Franklin Graham followed, framing the war against Iran as righteous and invoking Scripture to justify violence, asking for God’s protection over the military and for freedom for those he described as oppressed. After Graham, Ralph Reed, founder of the right-wing Faith and Freedom Coalition, prayed that God had spared Trump’s life for this presidential purpose, framing his leadership as divinely preserved and asking for wisdom, guidance and victory in his battles.

Southern Baptist pastor Robert Jeffress then described the presidency as part of God’s plan, casting the ongoing conflict as a spiritual struggle between light and darkness and praying that Trump would be empowered to act decisively in the battles, especially at Easter, a day meant to honor resurrection, hope and the triumph of life over death.

The whole service transformed a sacred moment of reflection into a celebration of war, power and Trump. We heard once more the claim that Trump is bringing religion back to America, followed by Trump’s many grievances about immigrants, elections, cultural threats and war.

There was no talk about care for “the least of these,” whom Jesus asked his followers to defend and care for in Matthew 25. In fact, the poor and vulnerable, including “the stranger” have been deliberately targeted by Trump, with no concerns expressed by his handpicked religious leaders. And in the face of war and threats of war crimes, these court chaplains ignored the most fundamental teaching of Jesus: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.” https://religionnews.com/2026/04/10/how-easter-turned-to-blasphemy-at-the-white-house/

Trump Says HE Will Close the Strait of Hormuz

 The world has always been terrified about Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz.  But now Trump has flipped the script and says HE will close it.

So think about this;  China is likely the biggest enemy of USA and they got their oil from Venezuela and Iran.  Both were oil markets that that had restrictions for the rest of the world, but China wasn't listening.  So now we have China unable to get oil from either and the tanker ships of the world are now heading to the Gulf of America to buy American oil.

This could be huge for sustaining the petro dollar and keep demand for the US dollar and status for maintaining the Reserve currency.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — President Donald Trump said Sunday the U.S. Navy would swiftly begin a blockade of ships entering or leaving the strategic Strait of Hormuz, after U.S.-Iran ceasefire talks in Pakistan ended without an agreement.

U.S. Central Command announced the blockade would involve all Iranian ports, beginning on Monday at 10 a.m. EDT, or 5:30 p.m. in Iran, to be “enforced impartially against vessels of all nations.”

However, CENTCOM said it would still allow ships traveling between non-Iranian ports to transit the strait. Its announcement was a step down from the president’s earlier threat to blockade the entire strait, and allows traffic to flow in the crucial waterway as long as it avoids Iranian ports.

Trump wants to weaken Iran’s key leverage in the war after demanding that it reopen the strait to global traffic on the waterway where 20% of global oil transited before fighting began.

That traffic has been limited even in the days since the ceasefire. Marine trackers say over 40 commercial ships have crossed since the start of the ceasefire.

A U.S. blockade could further rattle global energy markets.

Oil prices rose in early market trading after the blockade announcement. The price of U.S. crude rose 8% to $104.24 a barrel, and Brent crude oil, the international standard, rose 7% to $102.29. Brent crude cost roughly $70 per barrel before the war in late February.

Later Sunday, Trump extended his feud over the war with Pope Leo XIV, lashing out in a TruthSocial post that called the Catholic leader “terrible on foreign policy.” The extraordinary broadside came after Leo denounced the war and demanded that political leaders stop and negotiate peace.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard later said the strait remained under Iran’s “full control” and was open for non-military vessels, but military ones would get a “forceful response,” two semi-official Iranian news agencies reported.

During the 21-hour talks this weekend in Pakistan, the U.S. military said two destroyers had transited the strait ahead of mine-clearing work, a first since the war began. Iran denied it.

Trump’s plan to use the Navy to block the strait is unrealistic and he will have to concede on some issues with Iran, said Andreas Krieg, a senior lecturer in security studies at Kings College London. “There isn’t any tool in the toolbox in terms of the military lever that he could use to get his way,” Krieg said.

Trump said Tehran’s nuclear ambitions were at the core of the talks’ failure. In comments to Fox News, he again threatened to strike civilian infrastructure.

Iranian parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, who led Iran’s side in the talks, addressed Trump in a new statement on his return to Iran: “If you fight, we will fight.”

The face-to-face talks that ended early Sunday were the highest-level negotiations between the longtime rivals since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Neither indicated what will happen after the ceasefire expires on April 22.

The world's media wakes up every day and try to figure out what to report to make Trump look as bad as possible.  But meanwhile, Trump keeps doing things that totally upset the WAY THINGS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN.  He is the "great disruptor" and it sure seems like he is being used to continue to set the stage for the Great Tribulation.

Keep praying for him!  As we have posted in the past, pray that he will have the discernment to NOT listen to Paula White who he has named as the head of his spiritual office.  She is not qualified to be a pastor and seems to have her fingers deep into the "wealth and prosperity gospel", which is a false gospel.

Affluent, White, Female, Urban, Liberal.

 Will AWFUL women bring down Western civilization.  We have noticed that the freaks at all the protests seem to be these AWFUL women.  They are a godless, man-hating bunch of women.  They want to rule over men.  And female dominated societies are very easy to overthrow.  Jesus, come quickly!

************************************

For those who are keeping up with male Gen Z vernacular, the word AWFUL has been turned into an acronym.

It stands for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal.

They accuse many of the women of their generation of being consumed by feminism to the point they are not wife material.  These women are narcissistic, demanding, and hedonistic.  It is estimated that 45% of eligible women will be single and childless in the next four years.  They are undatable.

There does seem to be some credibility to the AWFUL designation for the following reasons:

• Liberal women are the ones most likely to use Marxist terminology such as ‘the patriarchy,’ ‘toxic masculinity,’ and ‘misogyny.’
• Liberal women are most likely to turn their Marxist terminology into action by rioting against legitimate law enforcement to defend lawlessness.
• Liberal women are more likely to vote for Democrats even though these people corrupt everything they touch.
• Because they have masculinized themselves through constant fornication, nearly half of all women in America cannot bond with a man.

These women have turned themselves into Marxist revolutionaries.  They are God haters and, if they hate God, we can only imagine what they think of men in general.

God established the hated ‘Patriarchy’ soon after the fall (Genesis 3:16) for the following reasons:

• Eve was created as a ‘helper’ to Adam, not his boss babe
• Eve was seduced by Satan, while Adam weakly capitulated, and brought judgment down upon humanity
• Eve is the primary reason Jesus had to take the sins of the world upon himself, which, as I understand it, was a very unpleasant experience. The fact that Adam did not step up and put a stop to what Eve was doing testifies against all weak men.

It is not arguable that God created the ‘Patriarchy,’ and it meets with his approval, so it is the best arrangement for a sinful, fallen world.  The only power women have in this society, or any society, is the power that men give them.  If men do not enforce the will of women, then women are powerless.

Jezebel had the appearance of power, but if her pathetic husband did not stand behind her, she could not have ordered the death of anyone.  I believe Gen Z men would call Ahab a ‘cuck.’

When men do not assert their authority in society, and capitulate to women, evil runs amok.  As we learn from Eve, women are too easily seduced by evil.  The Marxists, who have weaponized this ugly fact, have used feminism very effectively over the last sixty years to undermine the authority of men.

Due to the success of Marxism in this faithless society, Gen Z men, especially white men, have found themselves under severe assault for at least a decade.  Many have been feminized by the Marxists who control our schools, our media, our entertainment, and just about every other aspect of our culture.

It is very easy to take over a feminized society.

How did this happen?

If we have a proper framework for understanding how the world is currently constituted, it looks like this:

Satan has inspired the evil Globalists to use their wealth to fund the Marxists and the Muslims in their effort to destroy Western Civilization.  Due to the declining faith of Western Civilization, they have easily taken over the culture and have neutered men, especially white men, making it easier for conquest.

The reason their tactics, such as causing turmoil between ethnicities or sowing sexual confusion, appear so evil is because another name for Western Civilization is Christendom.  The complete destruction of the Christian faith is their goal.

For Christendom to thrive, a church led by strong men is necessary.

For Satan to be successful, there cannot be a powerful church to do spiritual battle with him and his minions.

That brings us to the culpability of the church.  The church has been feminized because, at least at one time, it was women who dragged their husbands to it.  Pastors understand that if they want to fill their pews and their collection plates, they had better placate the women.

This has weakened the church considerably and has allowed Satan to run amok in his effort to destroy Christendom.  The church has been weakened in the following manner:

• The Gospel, which proclaims that Christ died for our sins, has been replaced by a new gospel in which sin is justified by our self-righteous love and compassion. This false doctrine gives those who are effeminate a warm, fuzzy feeling but brings no one to salvation.
• The primary duty of the church is to call sinners to repent and be forgiven in the name of Jesus. This requires moral fortitude.  There are very few women in this generation who possess the courage to properly proclaim the Gospel.  The men need to step up and do it.

If those who engage in homosexual behavior were called to repent, many of the women parishioners would leave that church.  And their husbands would tag along with them.

The same would happen if women who abort their children were called to repent.

Any church that earns a reputation in their town for being ‘homophobic’ or ‘anti-woman’ will be quickly vacated.  That would leave these churches without a financial means of support.  Pastors would then be unemployed and unable to care for their families, and the churches they led would have to compromise with the world.

Once our churches are neutered, then Marxism and Islam are going to fill the void.

The sad fact is that if the whole world believed and confessed that Christ died for our sins in repentance, Satan would be forced to vacate the planet with his forked tail between his legs.

Instead, since the church now has little strength, he gets to walk around like a roaring lion seeking whom he can devour.

The proclamation of the Gospel is the only way to win this spiritual war against the forces of evil.  We are not going to be able to reason our way out of it or elect enough Republicans, who are often weak and pathetic, to defeat the enemy.

The Democrat Party has courted women for a long time because they have learned, like Satan, that they are easy to seduce with sweet-sounding words.  Once they are captured, men with common sense find that reasoning with a feminist is unrealistic.

The women of Europe have already brought down that part of Western Civilization while the men stood idly by.  Even after they are raped and brutalized by the immigrants that their leaders let in, they refuse to vote for a ‘right-wing’ party because they are claimed to be ‘racists.’

European women are more concerned about ‘right-wing extremism,’ the Marxist term for common sense, than they are about being preyed upon by third-world barbarians.

There is no way Europe recovers from this kind of stupidity.

The world is one Democrat president away from the fall of Western Civilization.  The MAGA movement is freedom’s last gasp.  The Democrats have learned they will need to be far more evil the next time they gain power, if they are to bring down Christendom.

Many Democrats are extremely vicious and violent and will use these qualities to force their evil on the rest of society.  Once they achieve power, they will use it ruthlessly and never give it up.

The Democratic Party is a party of antichrists where all the evil in this country congregates.  They reveal their lawlessness when:

• False teachers eagerly join this party (Raphael Warnock, James Talarico) who twist the Christian faith to match their sick political ideologies.
• They rail against the nation of Israel while deriding those who are concerned about murderous Muslims as ‘Islamophobes.’
• They release violent criminals back onto the streets while arresting the law-abiding (ex. Catholics praying in front of abortion clinics) as a matter of policy.
• The CIA under the Democrats saw “traditional motherhood” and “homemaking” as signs of white extremism.
• They refuse to enforce immigration laws, which allows third-world savages to come in and prey on American citizens.
• They corrupt governmental organizations, like the FBI, the DOJ, and CIA, and turn them against their political enemies and people with traditional values.
• They corrupt Medicaid, daycares, hospice and numerous other organizations to launder taxpayer funds to their benefit.
• They cheat in our elections, then attempt to prosecute anyone who catches them.
• It is not possible to walk among their mindless protesters and talk to them without a bodyguard due to their propensity for violence.

Their list of evils is endless.

Despite the coming darkness when these people retake political power, the church needs to do its job.  Pastors should refuse to capitulate to those who would walk out of their churches should they dare to proclaim repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

The women who are rioting in our major cities have fallen prey to false doctrine and lawlessness.  They are weak-willed women who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires.

No matter how hard you try to reason with them, they will never be able to acknowledge the truth (II Timothy 3:1-9).

As Rush Limbaugh used to say, “Liberalism is the most gutless choice you can make.”  Women are highly susceptible to it and cannot be relied upon to stand against evil.

The men of the church need to stand boldly on the Gospel and God’s moral law, or this society will fall to the feminized minions of Satan.

They Came Here to Conquer

Islam is not just a religion, it’s a political system.  

The Liberals in America seem to love Islam because they break the world down into two groups;  Oppressed and Oppressors. The first is “good” and the second is “bad”. So when Muslims invented the word “islamophobic” the Left gravitated to Islam because they believed they were being oppressed.  Hence the Palestinian flags and scarfs showing up at almost every protest put on by Leftists.

But Islam is not compatible with Western freedom and values.  At the very core is the belief that all should submit to Allah…or else.

Next time you’re in a debate with a liberal ask them if they think it would be a great idea to move millions of people who practice the Nazi religion into America.  If they say of course not, ask them why they are religiously intolerant or even “naziphobic”.

Washington Post columinst Shadi Hamid is rejecting assimilation into American society as a Muslim and claiming that those of his faith can’t disavow Sharia law even if they wanted to. The un-American rant looks for America to adapt to Islam, not the other way around.

Muslims in America should not be forced to assimilate and are not capable of disavowing Sharia law, according to Washington Post columnist Shadi Hamid, who penned an op-ed that was a combination of whining and truth concerning Islam.

 “Muslims are different in certain ways. How could they not be?” he asserted. “Islam shapes how its adherents think about family, sexuality, and what it means to live a good life. Simply put, Islam is also a more public religion than Christianity. Muslim prayer is visually striking and often communal. If a Muslim doesn’t drink alcohol or fasts during Ramadan, that will be more noticeable to others.”

There’s the dig against Christians and the premise that Muslims believe they are better than those who follow Christ. He’s correct about Islam shaping how its followers think about family and sexuality. He probably should not have gone there since there is a ton of information on marrying off little girls, sexually abusing little boys, raping women who are non-Muslim or are about to be executed, beating their wives, and the list goes on and on and on in Muslim doctrine.

“Moreover, practicing Muslims — despite being repeatedly asked to — can’t disavow ‘sharia’ even if they wanted to. Sharia, roughly translated as Islamic law, includes guidelines on how to pray, fast, and otherwise observe what it means to submit to God in daily practice,” Hamid continued.

Sharia law is anathema not only to Jews and Christians, but to the entire American way of life and our Constitutional founding. This is why many believe that Muslims should be kicked out of the US. They refuse to assimilate and shun their barbaric laws and practices.
