3-30-23, Faithful believers in Christ must not think about retaliation when we are persecuted or attacked. God's mighty angels are assigned for that duty; flaming fire will be one method [2 Thessalonians 1:1-9] upon them who do not obey the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Believers must - in faith and patience - stand fast!

​2 Thessalonians 2:15; Ephesians 6:11, 13-14; Psalm 31:24

Why schools have stopped teaching American history
1-22-17, NYPost -- When colleges such as Stanford decline to require Western Civilization classes or high schools propose changing their curriculum so that history is taught only from 1877 onward.​
As colleges around the country see protests to remove Thomas Jefferson’s statues from their campuses, it’s becoming the norm to erase the parts of history that we find uncomfortable. It’s not difficult to teach children that the pilgrims or Thomas Jefferson were imperfect yet still responsible for so much that is good in America.

Far Left Homosexual Activists Believe Only THEY Have Freedom to 'CHOOSE'
Blaming Brutal Murders in TN on Church

3-29-23, DailyMail here  -- Homosexual radical activists blame conservative and Christian schools for twisted ‘trans’ murderers like Audrey Hale who just killed three innocent helpless nine year old children and three senior citizen school employees. In America two gay activists are demanding the end of the conservative 'love affair' with what they call 'radical religious schools' in connection with the recent murders at The Covenant School in Nashville. They claim the conservative school abused Audrey Hale while there’s been no evidence of it. There've been other homosexual killers; it’s a long list - ten follow: [1]
  1. 1978 Deffrey Dahmer, Chicago, killed 17
  2. 1980s Dennis Nilsen, Abergeen
  3. 1987 Donald Harvey, Ohio, killed 25-40
  4. 1989, Erik Menendez [with non gay brother], CA, killed 2 parents
  5. 1989, Female lesbian Aileen Wuornos, Daytona, FL, killed 7
  6. 1997 Andrew Cunanan, San Diego, CA, killed 5
  7. 2000 David P. Brown, Massachusetts, killed 3
  8. 2019 Alec McKinney, Denver CO, killed 1 injured 8
  9. 2022 Anderson Aldrich, Colorado Springs, killed 5
  10. 2023 Audrey Hale, Tennessee, killed 6
As reported by Josh Hawley [2] the Nashville shooting was a hate crime by a homosexual girl wanna be a man [aka transgender] against a Christian school. The late great Rev Billy Graham once said: “USA society strives to avoid any possibility of offending anyone – except the Lord Jesus Christ!”

Conservative & Christian Schools Targets for Resisting Gender Ideology
7-15-22, Australia* -- The ABC.net targeted Christian schools in a recent article [1] giving a thinly veiled hit piece obscuring the facts that Christian schools enable parents to exercise fundamental human rights and are the safest place for innocent young children otherwise exposed to a cultural tsunami of harmful gender ideology. [..]
 
All parents have the human right to ensure the religious and moral education of their children in conformity with their own convictions. Apparently the militant homosexual lobby disagrees and if the government polices Christian schools that teach orthodox Christian beliefs on sexuality and gender this would fly in the face of many liberal government policies on human rights obligations.
 
Parents are flocking to Christian schools and although they are voting with their feet, the Queensland government [and USA] appears to be in lockstep with activists in undermining parents’ rights and the credibility of Christian education.

Africa is rich with minerals, key minerals, the ones Biden needs to build electric car batteries, turbines and solar panels. So, Joe sent Kamala to Africa with the bag of cash = $100 million.  She told them it was to fight extremists; what's the USA getting for it? Africa’s precious natural resource is, of course; she’s there for the lithium, cobalt and we need tens of kilograms more copper for an electric car compared with one with a gas engine.

Tennessee: Covenant Christian School Attacked
Curriculum focuses on Biblical theology with standard education courses. School motto:
“Shepherding Hearts, Empowering Minds, Celebrating Childhood.”

Nashville school shooter 28 yr old "Audrey" Hale identified as transgender - biological woman transition to man -  Possibly police labeled killer “female” due to political correctness.
​

3-27-23, here NYPost -- Today Nashville TN police revealed that the 28-year-old Audrey Hale, is a biological woman on hormones trans to man who shot and killed 6 people at the Christian Presbyterian Covenant School; students in pre-K through 6th grade with 200 students enrolled. This atrocity comes amid a surge in trans & far-left extremists making threats against Tennessee for banning the medical sex change aka transitioning of minors.
She/he murdered 3 nine-year-old children:
  • Evelyn Dieckhaus
  • Hallie Scruggs
  • William Kinney
Also 3 adults in their 60s:
Custodian Mike Hill
Substitute teacher Cynthia Peak
School head Katherine Koonce

Why are leftists blaming guns & not killers?

[Reportedly female Audrey Hale was taking testosterone hormones]
When men (and, for that matter, women) think about the powers of testosterone, they are not likely to consider mental processes. Indeed, the male hormone has much more obvious roles in a man's body; new research suggests that testosterone may have a surprising role in masculine mentality MAKES THEM MORE AGGRESSIVE.

Jewish State of Israel Sees Massive Protests

3-26-23, DailyTelegraph NZ [here] -- For months the Jewish state of Israel has been reeling under protests triggered by the plans of  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet to limit the power of the Supreme Court to rule against the legislative and executive branches. On Saturday, 3-26-23, thousands of Israelis took to the streets reportedly protesting against the government’s push to overhaul the judicial system. On Monday, however, PM Netanyahu’s coalition dialed back its proposed reform, decreasing the number of government representatives on the judicial committee while Defense Minister Yoav Gallant was fired.

Local media reports that in Tel Aviv approximately 200,000 protesters gathered with a stand-off with police, who used water cannons to disperse a crowd that was blocking the Ayalon Highway.

  • USA ports are reporting unprecedented levels of cargo theft, led by consumables

  • In 2021 and 2022 more than a 100 incidents of food facilities, including mass kill offs of chickens. [1]
  • In 2022 and 2023 the war between Russia and Ukraine caused wheat and fertilizer shortages, hiking the price of bread, and forcing farmers into an untenable position of smaller crops.
  • In 2022 and 2023 we saw plant viruses affecting lettuce, weather events affecting orange crops, drought condition causing farmers and ranchers to yet again destroy crops and sell off cattle before calving.

​How China Became a Peacemaker in the Middle East ...
​Washington’s Missteps Paved the Way for Beijing’s Saudi-Iranian Deal

3-15-23, * -- While ole Joe Biden’s Middle East team was focused on normalizing Saudi-Israeli relations, China delivered the most significant regional development since President Trump’s Abraham Accords: a deal to end seven years of Saudi-Iranian estrangement when a normalization agreement was signed 3/10/23 by Riyadh and Tehran is noteworthy not only because of its potential positive repercussions in the region;  but also because of China’s leading role and the United States [USA] absence representing a big win for Beijing. China helped secure the energy supply she needs and burnished its credentials as a trusted broker in the region, something Biden couldn’t do. The two nations affirmed respect for each other’s sovereignty and noninterference in each other’s internal affairs. [..] Saudi Arabia has:
  • sided with Russia in its war on Ukraine when it led a two-million-barrel OPEC+ production cut
  • refused to join Western sanctions on Russia
  • welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping for a historic Chinese-Arab summit in Riyadh
Washington was left in a worst-of-both-worlds while Beijing has managed to maintain good relations with Russia, Iran, Israel and Saudi Arabia while remaining fully neutral on the squabbles among them. China has no defense pacts with any Middle Eastern power and does not maintain military bases in the region, relying on economic rather than military influence.  [..]
 At the end of the day, if nothing else, instability jeopardizes the flow of oil from the region and adds a hefty risk premium to gas prices. While not exactly worrying about China’s role, the USA should take it as a warning and a lesson. If the USA continues to embroil itself in the conflicts of other nations; she becomes part of the problem rather than the solution ceding the role of peacemaker to China.

Why the US dollar has become an at-risk currency [HERE]

3-11-23, NYPOST -- While it makes sense to financially cripple our avowed enemies — Russia, China, Iran, North Korea — coalitions are forming around ways to avoid existing sanctions and ... Much of the action involves creating alternatives to the dollar as the world’s default currency. [..] China, for whom supplanting and discrediting the dollar is a key component of its “winning without fighting” campaign known a detailed in the book Unrestricted Warfare. The sanctions push has accelerated China’s quest to defeat the dollar, and many other nations are taking note. While a chorus of experts still insist that there’s
no alternative to the dollar, this is untrue. The dollar will dominate as long as it serves the interest of those who use it. Once the dollar begins placing assets at risk, alternative tools of commerce are certain to emerge.

3-11-23, Excerpt* -- ​Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute, told Al Jazeera that the US “increasingly has deviated from and pursued policies that simply make it impossible for it to be a credible mediator. Too often the US has taken sides in regional conflicts, becoming co-belligerent which makes it very difficult for the US to play a peacemaking role. China however, did not take sides between Saudi and Iran, has worked very hard to not get dragged into their conflict and as a result, could play a peacemaking role.” China’s breakthrough comes as various US media outlets reported this week that Israel and Iran were edging closer to war.

3-17-23, DryBones -- It's Time for Bibi [Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] to turn his attention to trying to get his own country united and behind him! 
​
Will he? Won't he?

Well, the goals and actions of the hate filled Islamic neighbors makes it difficult. 
​8-10-17, Ynet.com -- The deep reason the Muslim world hates the Jewish nation of Israel ... Understanding the theological implications for Islam is crucial to realizing why peace eludes Israel. Without these implications, Israel would've probably been tolerated as a minor nuisance.
For Muslims to recognize Israel as the Jewish homeland involves accepting the Jews =>
<= patriarch Abraham who is the father of Isaac and Islamic Ishmael.
​Isaac is the covenant son of wife Sarah [Genesis 17:19, 21] ... Ishmael is the son of the servant girl from Egypt, Hagar. For Muslims, this means engaging with Jewish history and Jewish scriptures on historical terms—not Islamic terms. Doing so leads to recognition that Judaism predates Islam . More Here
