I am not a fan of Tucker Carlson, but his interview is extraordinary and worth watching, especially if you are a Christian and care for Palestinian Christians! He tells of the persecution his family and fellow Christians suffer at the hands of Israel army and settlers.

I think what we're starting to see is the outline of a super-powerful structure of political, moral, financial and sexual corruption that is too grotesque to be allowed to continue but also, too big to fail.

If asked to describe the major features of the Epstein archipelago looming out of its offshore dark money and billionaire kompromat - I’d say Putin, Trump, Musk, Bannon and Thiel

And with that you have a map of our current political era

Not just in dystopian literature ... but it really happens not in China or North Korea but in what it used to be the beacon of decmocracy ... 😒

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Is there really a "Quiet Revival" in religious belief among Gen Z? Are young people in the UK and around the world finding religion? Some survey data suggest they are: the YouGov long-term tracker shows that the proportion of 18-to-24-year-olds who say they believe t...

Luke 23:2: And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation. He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar and claims to be Messiah, a king.” (NIV)
There is nothing Christian in 'Christian Nationalism', so says Jesus according to Luke's Gospel.

Kind of agree, but, and there is a 'but', the EU never acknowledged Maduro legitimacy after the fraudulent elections. Can't remember your take at that time.

Happy New Year 2026 to one and all!

This is a really appalling editorial error on BBC Question Time

"Apparently one in three children don't speak English as a first language, why does this matter?"

Chair says "have English as a second language"

Caption changes the meaning entirely
"Don't speak fluent English"

MARTIN LUTHER (1483 - 1546) Treatise on Good Works "As Christ teaches, Luke vi, even a wicked man does that to another who is his friend. ... Therefore a Christian must rise higher, let his liberality serve also the undeserving, evil-doers, enemies, and the ungrateful, even as his heavenly Father makes His sun to rise on good and evil, and the rain to fall on the grateful and ungrateful."

Martin Luther, a #Lutheran, says a Christian must serve the undeserving, evil-doers, enemies, and ungrateful, like God does (Mt 6:32-4).

Today, simply ungratefulness is reason to cut one off.

How can you let your liberality serve underserving and evil-doers?
