Westminster Larger Catechism 11-18 – Pastor Patrick Hines Podcast
1 Thessalonians 1:9 For they themselves report about us as to the kind of reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God

In these uncertain times, it’s important to remember the words of Jesus about the signs of the end times. While the world may seem chaotic, we are called to be salt and light in every aspect of our lives. Let’s not be motivated by fear but by the opportunity to share the gospel and trust in God.

“But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “Not until the child is weaned; then I will take him, that he may appear before the LORD and remain there forever.”” – 1 Samuel 1:22
Scripture reading: 1 Samuel 1:1-28
This is one of those passages of Scripture which stuns us – especially if we have small children at home. Here is a mother saying she will give her only son to God, forever! In those days that meant bringing him to the High Priest and leaving him there. How could a mother do that?!
Perhaps we already know that we must do that – in a sense – with each of our children. God the Father gave up His own Son for us. Giving sacrificially is the way of the Christian (Romans 12:1, 2), and it is the way we should raise our children. Furthermore, we “give our children to God” in baptism, church attendance, catechism attendance, and so on. In one way or another, we are constantly giving them up to God.
Since that is true of parents of children, so it should be about the lesser things of life, like money, time, energy and gifts, etc. What would we withhold from Him? Hannah did actually give up Samuel. And look how the Lord blessed that sacrifice! Do we fail to give as we should because we forgot the way God is able to bless our gifts? Tomorrow, we can worship Him sacrificially in many ways. Let’s decide today that we are going to serve the Lord with open hands, ready to give all to Him.
Suggestions for Prayer
Ask the Lord to accept your sacrificial giving as an expression of thanks for all He has given you.

The world is not merely indifferent toward God; the world hates Him. God’s holiness is repulsive to those who are not holy—sinful people such as us. In this message, R.C. Sproul explains that only the grace of God can change our hearts to respond to the Lord’s holiness with awe and delight.

6:5 God, who alone can observe both people’s outward actions (Jb 34:21) and their thoughts (1Sm 16:7), saw what was visible—that human wickedness was widespread—and what was invisible—that every inclination of the human mind was nothing but evil all the time. The word translated “mind” is literally “heart,” reflecting the ancient conception that this organ was the seat of the intellect, emotion, and will.[1]
6:5 A stronger statement of the depth of man’s sin cannot be found in Scripture. Unfortunately, the Flood did not alter man’s sinful nature (cf. 8:21; Rom. 1:24–32; 3:10–18).[2]
6:5 every intention … of his heart. A vivid portrayal of the depth and comprehensiveness of human depravity (cf. 8:21).[3]
6:5 the evil of humankind The reason for the flood is the great evil of humanity. The only (possible) exception is Noah, who is described as “righteous” and “blameless” (v. 9).[4]
6:5 his heart was only evil continually. This is one of the strongest and clearest statements about man’s sinful nature. Sin begins in the thought-life (see notes on Jas 1:13–15). The people of Noah’s day were exceedingly wicked, from the inside out. Cf. Jer 17:9, 10; Mt 12:34, 35; 15:18, 19; Mk 7:21; Lk 6:45.[5]
6:5 “the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great” This section of Scripture emphasizes the development of evil in the heart of mankind (BDB 906, KB 1157, Qal IMPERFECT, cf. Gen. 6:11–12, 13b; 8:21; Ps. 14:3; 51:5) which is a direct paradox to the goodness of creation in Gen. 1:31.
■ “and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” This result of Adam and Eve’s fall had reached universal proportions. All but six people were hopelessly affected by evil. They dwelt on thinking about evil, night and day!
The concept of “evil intent” (ysr, BDB 428) becomes the rabbinical understanding of mankind’s moral nature. They see mankind as exercising one of two intents (good or evil). This famous proverb, “in every man’s heart is a black and a white dog; the one you feed the most becomes the biggest” (paraphrase), describes mankind. This view of mankind is strengthened by 4:7. Jewish theologians do not emphasize Gen. 3 but Gen. 6 as the source of evil in the world. Children are not evil at birth because moral responsibility comes only with knowledge (bar mitzvah, bat mitzvah). Evil consists of choices![6]
6:5. And Yahweh saw that the evil of mankind was great on the earth, and every purpose of the thoughts of their heart was only evil every day.
In the opening chapter of Genesis, God had reviewed his own activity; he ‘saw’ creation and he appraised it as ‘good’ (1:31). Now, with regard to the deeds and actions of men, Yahweh reviews them and appraises them—that is, he ‘saw’. Yet, whereas God’s works are deemed to have been very good, mankind’s works are pronounced ‘evil’. Humanity has been fruitful and multiplied by filling the earth with violence and wickedness (6:11).
Observe that it is not only mankind’s actions that are evil, but the very thoughts and intents of their hearts are wicked. The word ‘purpose’ describes what is framed in the mind, including imagination and thoughts. It is related to the verb yāṣar, which was used earlier of God’s creation of humanity (2:8). The contrast is obvious: what God forms is very good, but what man forms, in mind and deed, is evil.
The term ‘heart’ may cause some confusion because the Western mind sees the heart as the seat of the emotions. But the Hebrew makes no such distinction between mind and heart. The heart for the Hebrew is the persona, the inner being, the seat of both thought and emotion. It is the essence of the person. Thus what we see is the condition of total depravity reigning among mankind on earth.[7]
5 The God of the OT never acts arbitrarily; he does not run his world amorally, claims the author of this verse. Nobody will receive this divine judgment simply because he is human. God is moved to anger by man’s deliberate violations of the code by which God wills his world to live. The only innocuous bystanders are the animals.
Here, first of all, is what God saw (v. 5), then how he felt (v. 6), then what he intends to do (v. 7). What God saw was both the extensiveness of sin and the intensiveness of sin. Geographically, the problem is an infested earth. Note that in 6:5–13, the earth (hāʾāreṣ) is mentioned eight times. Thus the description has all the appearances of a universal condition rather than a local one. To be sure, ʾereṣ is frequently rendered as “(local) land,” “ground,” and even “underworld.” When ʾereṣ refers to a particular piece of land, however, it is often followed by a prepositional phrase that further identifies the land (e.g., the land of the Canaanites, land of the east, land of the fathers), except in those places where mention is made theologically of the land promised to Israel. Furthermore, the reference in 7:3 to the animals of kol-hāʾāreṣ argues for an understanding of ʾereṣ elsewhere in the Flood narrative as “earth” in that almost all uses of kol-hāʾāreṣ (outside Deuteronomy and Joshua-Samuel) are references to the earth (Gen. 1:26, 28; 11:1; Exod. 9:14, 16; 19:5). Yet, verses such as Gen. 13:9, 15 show that even in Genesis kol-hāʾāreṣ refers to the whole land.
The situation is further aggravated because such depravity controls not only man’s actions but also his thoughts (māḥšeḇōṯ): every scheme in man’s imagination was nothing but evil. The mind, too, has been perverted, an emphasis made again in 8:21. scheme, Heb. yēṣer (or, “imagination, desire”), is a nominal form of the word used in 2:7, 19 to describe the “formation” of man and animal from the soil. There God was the potter, fashioning man. Now man himself has become the potter, fashioning his thoughts. What God forms is beautiful; what man forms is repulsive. perpetually. Finally, this verse informs the reader that this kind of malaise is a chronic condition, not just a spasmodic lapse.
It is important to observe that right at the beginning there is a clear-cut moral motivation behind sending the Flood. The Gilgamesh Epic (an Akkadian story about a flood), which does have clear parallels with Gen. 6–9, lacks such a parallel here. The closest it comes is: “when their heart led the great gods to produce the flood” (Tablet XI, line 14). That vague statement is left unamplified. Later in that same tablet (line 179) the god Ea speaks to Enlil (the one who sent the flood): “How could you, unreasoning, bring on the deluge?”
According to a related flood story, the Atrahasis Epic, twelve hundred years after man’s creation his noise and commotion has become so loud that Enlil starts to suffer from insomnia. Enlil sends a plague to eradicate boisterous humanity, only to have his plan thwarted. Next he tries drought and famine, which are also unsuccessful. Finally a flood is sent, which Atrahasis survives by building a boat. To call this noise moral turbulence or to understand the clamor of mankind as man’s chronic depravity reads into the text far too much. The problem is simply that there are too many people, with the result that there is too much noise. There is a limit on Enlil’s auditory capacities. It really should not surprise us that in a system of thought where the gods are not necessarily morally superior to human beings, and where the line between good and evil is blurred, there is no recording of the fact that man is to be drowned because he is a rebel and a sinner.[8]

Have you ever wondered why in the year 2024 there are whole countries that ban the Bible from being read? Could it just be that its message is so powerful that entire political regimes could be toppled if the common people were able to read its pages. Or what would cause the total transformation of hardened criminals into saints. The real life stories of some of the worst sinners around have been transformed into model citizens after embracing the central character of the Bible – Jesus Christ.
Down through the centuries men have done everything imaginable to try to destroy this one book, but its survival is testimony of just how powerful a book it is. 19th century writer, H. L. Hastings, shows how the Bible has withstood the most severe attacks of skepticism when he stated:
“Infidels for eighteen hundred years have been refuting and overthrowing this book, and yet it stands today as solid as a rock. Its circulation increases, and it is more loved and cherished and read today than ever before. Infidels, with all their assaults, make about as much impression on this book as a man with a tack hammer would on the Pyramids of Egypt.
“When the French monarch proposed the persecution of the Christians in his dominion, an old statesman and warrior said to him, ‘Sire, the Church of GOD is an anvil that has worn out many hammers.’ So, the hammers of infidels have been pecking away at this book for ages, but the hammers are worn out, and the anvil still endures. If this book had not been the book of GOD, men would have destroyed it long ago. Emperors and popes, kings and priests, princes and rulers have all tried their hand at it; they die and the book still lives.”1
Pastor John MacArthur astutely commented on why so many people have attempted to destroy this one book when he shared: “Precisely because it is so powerful, the Bible has always had its enemies. Unbelievers challenge its credibility. Skeptics question its accuracy. Moral revisionists depreciate its precepts. Religious liberals dispute its supernatural character. Cultists twist its meaning.”2
With all of the enemies of the Bible, I contend that unless it was a supernatural book it would have been destroyed long ago. Just how powerful this amazing book is can be seen in how it can influence even those who casually read it. Winkie Pratney states this unique ability of the Bible as follows: “You know, many of the Eastern thought forms use Scripture. That’s because the book is so powerful – you can’t ignore it. If you don’t use it, you can’t capture people’s hearts. God has built life into His Word, and all the strong cults rip it off – steal bites out of the Bible and use it…Just the fact that pieces taken out of context are powerful enough to draw men’s hearts should tell you what the whole Word, used under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit can do!”3
But its most powerful testimony, as we Christian know, is its ability to take men who are totally dead in their sins and resurrect them to new life in Christ Jesus. Every time a person reads its pages and accepts the central person of the book, Jesus Christ, into their heart, a miracle occur – the spiritually dead are brought back to life – such is the power of the Bible!
My friends the Bible’s awesome power stems from the fact that it is hands down the most unique, intellectually sound, transformational, and yes, the only supernatural book ever written. Christian, the next time you pick up your Bible, I challenge you to stand in awe and realize that you hold in your possession the most powerful book in the universe!

Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the Lord. (2 Kings 22:19)
Many despise warning and perish. Happy is he who trembles at the Word of God. Josiah did so, and he was spared the sight of the evil which the Lord determined to send upon Judah because of her great sins. Have you this tenderness? Do you practice this self-humiliation? Then you also shall be spared in the evil day. God sets a mark upon the men that sigh and cry because of the sin of the times. The destroying angel is commanded to keep his sword in its sheath till the elect of God are sheltered: these are best known by their godly fear and their trembling at the Word of the Lord. Are the times threatening? Does infidelity advance with great strides, and do you dread national chastisement upon this polluted nation? Well you may. Yet rest in this promise: “Thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace: and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place.” Better still, the Lord Himself may come, and then the days of our mourning shall be ended.
TODAY’S BIBLE READING CHALLENGE:
Leviticus 6:1-7:27
Mark 3:7-30
Psalm 37:1-11
Proverbs 10:3-4
Leviticus 6:1 — As we tour through the legal code of Israel, we are entering Contract Law. If someone makes an agreement, but then reneges on it, it is not only a sin against his fellow man, but also against the LORD (see Leviticus 6:6). Sin affects man and God.
Leviticus 7:26 — This command about not consuming blood is found in Genesis 9:4; Leviticus 3:17, 17:10-12, 14, 19:26; Deuteronomy 12:16, 23, 25; 15:23; Ezekiel 33:25; Acts 15:20, 29, 21:25 … so, by the time Jesus says in John 6:53-56 that we are to drink His blood, the people are confused.
Mark 3:7 — Yesterday, Jesus performed a miracle in the synagogue, but today He withdraws to the lake. Notice that He has crowds from many, many miles around.
Psalm 37:4 — The Herbster Trio song “Delight Yourself in the Lord” is based on this verse.
Proverbs 10:4 — While the Bible talks much about care for the poor, it also teaches that becoming rich is a blessing for the diligent. Especially because it gives the ability to give (Ephesians 4:28).

How do you keep doing for others in the midst of chaos in your own life?
Jesus withdrew to be alone after hearing that his cousin, John the Baptist, was beheaded. But when he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them. Compassion is defined as a desire to help someone who is sick, hungry, or hurting. Jesus wanted to ensure that the crowd had what they needed even at a time when he was in need and the disciples wanted to send the crowd away.
Jesus, knowing the needs of the people, did not turn them aside. He laid his own need aside to ensure the people were taken care of. After doing so, he continued to a place of solitude to pray. By making time to withdraw and pray, he stayed connected to his source and ensured that he would continue doing the will of the Father. This gave him the power, the grace, the instructions, and the wisdom to complete his assignment on earth.
God is asking us to serve others with a heart of compassion just as Jesus did, but at times our own selfish ambitions get in the way. Often, we are so fixated on our own needs or our own insecurities that we miss valuable opportunities right before us. The key to helping to meet the needs of others is first recognizing that God is always our source. When we come to him admitting our insufficiency, he takes what we have and multiplies it.
Lord, I come to you today asking that you fill me with a heart of compassion and love for others. I ask that you minister through me today to those who are in need of your love and grace. I desire to love as Jesus loves. Most of all, I desire to please you in all that I do. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Why Its Going To Be So Compelling For The World To Worship The Antichrist
And here’s a haunting verse about the Antichrist: “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:8). Listen, it’s going to be so compelling for the world to worship the Antichrist. The Bible says, “God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie” (2 Thessalonians 2:11).
“Civil War, Nuclear War, Economic Collapse… Maybe All Three?”
Have you noticed yet that America has turned into a Coen Brothers movie? Everywhere you look, you see madcap characters disgracing themselves while doing their bit to burn the whole country down.It’s a panoramic extravaganza of everything gone wrong, with slapstick overtones, driving toward an apocalyptic climax — civil war, nuclear war, economic collapse, maybe all three. And all because the people on-screen just can’t stop lying.
The Heavy Price For Rejoicing Over Israel’s Suffering
Whereas most people were sickened and horrified by the barbarity shown by Hamas, many in Gaza cheered. In our mind, it is difficult to understand why people would celebrate this. Yet, it isn’t the first time that a neighbour of Israel’s has cheered over their calamity. What’s worse, the people I am referring to were even closer than a neighbour. Ezekiel 35:15 reveals who I speak of (with emphasis added): “As you rejoiced because the inheritance of the house of Israel was desolate, so I will do to you; you shall be desolate, O Mount Seir, as well as all of Edom – all
of it!”

Why Its Going To Be So Compelling For The World To Worship The Antichrist
The Bible predicts there is a false Christ coming. In 1 John 2:18, he is called the Antichrist. Many typically think the Antichrist is somebody who’s against Jesus. But the prefix anti- can just as easily mean instead of. It seems from Scripture that this Antichrist will pose as a substitute Christ—and it’s quite possible he is alive at this moment.

France: “Article Pfizer” criminalizing criticism of mRNA injections passed by National Assembly
On 15 November 2023, the French Senate reviewed a draft law, modifications to the Penal Code, that aim to crush dissent using hefty fines of up to EUR 15,000 and threat of jail time.

Considering the “covid vaccines are safe and effective” false narrative propagated by the government, this law is nothing short of outrageous.
Shocking Findings of New Study: Excess Deaths in the UK Pandemic were Iatrogenic and Caused by Midazolam and Euthanasia
Findings of a new study show that data showing a spike in excess deaths in April 2020 in the United Kingdom (UK) had significant anomalies and inconsistencies with existing explanations wrongly attributed to “COVID-19.” According to the study, the excess deaths did not originate from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but from widespread Midazolam use in euthanasia and then likely later from mass vaccination. The pandemic in the UK, was iatrogenic according to the study.

| QUOTES Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste “The Super Bowl is the most unifying event in America. … For this joy to be turned to tragedy [Wednesday] in Kansas City cuts deep in the American soul. [Wednesday’s] events should move us, shock us, shame us into acting. What are we waiting for? What else do we need to see? How many more families need to be torn apart? … We know what we have to do, we just need the courage to do it.” —Joe Biden “We need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require safe storage of guns, pass a national red flag law, enact universal background checks, and invest in proven solutions that reduce violence.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre “I support the Second Amendment, but it’s reasonable to say we need an assault weapons ban. It’s reasonable to say we need universal background checks. That we need red flag laws.” —Kamala Harris The BIG Lies “We don’t bear responsibility for a broken [immigration] system, and we’re doing a tremendous amount within that broken system.” —DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas “History will not look kindly on House Republicans for their blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship that has targeted an honorable public servant in order to play petty political games. … [Mayorkas] has upheld the rule of law faithfully and has demonstrated a deep commitment to the values that make our nation great.” —Joe Biden “House Republicans failed to produce any evidence that Secretary Mayorkas has committed any crime. House Republicans failed to show he has violated the Constitution. House Republicans failed to present any evidence of anything resembling an impeachable offense. This is a new low for House Republicans.” —Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) “We did a foolish thing, and that is to pass an impeachment of a very qualified and effective secretary of homeland security.” —Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) “We will continue pursuing real solutions to the challenges Americans face, and House Republicans have to decide whether to join us to solve the problem or keep playing politics with the border.” —Joe Biden “Congress needs to act to give me, Secretary Mayorkas, and my administration the tools and resources needed to address the situation at the border.” —Joe Biden “No executive action, no matter how aggressive, can deliver the significant [immigration] policy reforms and additional resources Congress can provide … that Republicans have rejected. … That is just a fact. There is no executive action that the president can take.” —KJP “[The] situation at the border … can only be addressed by legislation, not by executive action.” —Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY) Fact-Check: False “These are human beings who are coming to our country following the legal asylum process as it stands right now. … They’re following the law.” —New York Governor Kathy Hochul Grand Delusions “He does not.” —Biden attorney Bob Bauer when asked, “Does the president have any memory problems?” “Joe is 81, that’s true, but he’s 81 doing more in an hour than most people do in a day.” —Jill Biden “The most difficult part about a meeting with President Biden is preparing for it. Because he is sharp, intensely probing and detail oriented, and focused.” —Alejandro Mayorkas “[Biden’s] mental acuity is great. It’s fine. It’s as good as it’s been over the years. … All this right-wing propaganda that his mental acuity has declined is wrong.” —Chuck Schumer “This is a very sharp president. In term of his public presentation, if he makes a slip of the tongue here or there, what’s the deal?” —Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) “Joe Biden’s mental acuity is very, very on. He’s one of the smartest, sharpest people I’ve met in DC.” —Congresswoman Mary Peltola (D-AK) “[Biden] is sharp. He is on top of things.” —KJP “[Biden] is at the top of his game.” —Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen “President Biden is absolutely fit.” —Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) “This kind of sense that he’s not ready for this job is just a bucket of BS that’s so deep your boots will get stuck.” —Biden senior adviser Mitch Landrieu “[Biden is] one of the most successful presidents in modern American history.” —Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) “[Biden’s] leadership speaks fully and speaks really loudly.” —KJP “When you have a president that has been one of the most productive, if not the most productive and effective presidents in modern time, that, you would assume, is a president that is indeed in touch with where the American people are. … So, in our opinion, in my opinion, he is very much in touch with what Americans are feeling out there.” —KJP “[Biden’s] going to win the election because he has a great record, because more and more Americans are seeing that record.” —Chuck Schumer “This president is going to be able to sell a record that is extraordinary.” —Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) For the Record “[Biden] is more experienced, more predictable. He’s a politician of the old formation. But we will work with any U.S. leader whom the American people trust.” —Russian President Vladimir Putin Can’t Fix Stupid “I am very concerned about it. It wouldn’t be the first time that Russia’s intervened in our election. It wouldn’t be the first time they’ve done it to try to help elect Donald Trump. … They feel beleaguered, and here comes Donald Trump, a real life line.” —Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) Circling the Wagons “As a former prosecutor, the comments that were made by that prosecutor [were] gratuitous, inaccurate, and inappropriate.” —Kamala Harris regarding Special Counsel Robert Hur “The way that the president’s demeanor in that report was characterized could not be more wrong on the facts and clearly politically motivated.” —Kamala Harris “Comments were made in that report … about his memory that we don’t believe lives in reality.” —KJP “[Republicans] have made up claims of a two-tiered system of justice between Republicans and Democrats. They have denigrated the rule of law for political purposes. That reality creates a ton of pressure. And in that pressurized political environment, when the inevitable conclusion is that the facts and the evidence don’t support any charges, you’re left to wonder why this report spends time making gratuitous and inappropriate criticisms of the president.” —White House Counsel’s Office spokesman Ian Sams “I think the public is smart. And I think that they can see what’s going on. … I think they see a president who did the right thing.” —Ian Sams “The report lays out how the president did not share classified documents with anyone.” —Ian Sams “The president takes classified information seriously. He always has. He did not intentionally take classified documents.” —Ian Sams “There’s no evidence here that [Biden] was intentionally holding on or had any intent to disclose this information, you know, beyond the immediate realm that he held.” —Dan Goldman “Joe Biden and Donald Trump and most elected officials make small gaffes… That’s not what matters. We are in a fight for the soul of our nation. And the idea that somehow Joe Biden forgot the date of his son’s death is offensive and appalling. And what [the media] should be focused on … is the ways that Donald Trump is undermining rule of law, democracy, and our safety as a nation.” —Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) “This is a report that went off the rails. … Along with a legal conclusion comes this flood of characterizations, factual misstatements, pejorative comments about the president that are inconsistent with DOJ policy and norms.” —Bob Bauer “This special counsel report is an unfortunate deviation from the norms that guide the Department of Justice.”—Alejandro Mayorkas “There’s a significant distinction that you have to draw between documents that have classified markings on them and President Biden’s notes taken from classified documents. … On their face, those notes would not have markings and it would not necessarily be obvious that they contained classified information.” —Dan Goldman “That was a partisan report, and President Biden has been absolved in any criminal wrongdoing.” —Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) regarding Special Counsel Robert Hur Lack of Self-Awareness “We are talking about someone [Trump] that literally may start World War III.” —Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) “Together we’re making a big difference bringing this country together and not tearing it apart.” —Joe Biden Non Compos Mentis “I know I don’t look like it, but I’ve been around a while. I do remember that.” —Joe Biden Baghdad Bob “Elected officials … they can … misspeak sometimes. Right? … It happens to all of us, and it is common.” —KJP regarding Joe Biden’s perpetual mix-ups “This is a trip that [Biden] has been wanting to make.” —KJP regarding East Palestine, Ohio More BIG Lies “After [Trump] did not move on making sure that we dealt with vaccinating the American public, we ended up losing over a million people.” —Joe Biden “Growth is strong, wages are rising, inflation is down. In fact, the costs have fallen from everything from a gallon of gas to a gallon of milk. We know prices are still too high because of what I call greedflation and shrinkflation.” —Joe Biden “Because of the leadership of President Biden and Vice President Harris we have created 14.8 million jobs throughout the country. Inflation is cooling and wages are rising.” —Congressman Pete Aguilar (D-CA) “The overall [inflation] picture looks good.” —National Economic Council Director Lael Brainard “People are better off than they were pre-pandemic.” —Janet Yellen “Not only is [Biden] fit to do the job, he’s doing a hell of a damn job, right? If he was weak … he wouldn’t have driven the economy to such great success.” —Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) Village Idiot “We won the pandemic economically. … Inflation is not insane.” —Bill Maher More Non Compos Mentis “I still believe in reparations, by the way, so y’all can stop texting me and emailing me and saying that I’m a white girl and that I don’t deserve reparations.” —”The View” co-host Sunny Hostin, whose ancestors were slaveholders “Attempts by @HousGOP to impeach Secretary Mayorkas are animated by antisemitic, white supremacist conspiracy theories.” —Jewish Democratic Council of America Theater of the Absurd “Governor Abbott is an embarrassment and a human trafficker.” —House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) “House Republicans are still at it right now, siding with Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Tehran against our defense industrial base, against NATO, against Ukraine, against our interests in the Indo-Pacific.” —KJP “If Donald Trump is elected president of the United States, we do not know if there will be a verifiable next election that has integrity.” —AOC Dumb & Dumber “The spirit of Aloha clashes with a federally mandated lifestyle that lets citizens walk around with deadly weapons during day-to-day activities.” —Hawaii Supreme Court “The history of the Hawaiian Islands does not include a society where armed people move about the community to possibly combat the deadly aims of others.” —Hawaii Supreme Court Village Academies “There’s not something that we do that’s not part of our equity initiative because education is equity in this country.” —Education Secretary Miguel Cardona Useful Idiots “I’ve worked with many, many, many different terrorist and insurgent groups. Hamas is not a terrorist group for us, of course, as you know. It’s a political movement.” —UN official Martin Griffiths “Saying that the motivation [for October 7] was anti-Semitism is wrong and dangerous. I’m not saying that people in Hamas are absolutely not anti-Semitic. This was not the argument. But the argument is that this attack was launched as a way to break the occupation against the apartheid.” —UN official Francesca Albanese “I understand why Israel is using this argument of anti-Semitism because by saying, ‘We were attacked because we are Jews,’ it’s bringing the existential threat that many Jews fear. The real threat is the apartheid that Israel imposes on the Palestinians, which is a threat to both Palestinians and Israeli Jews.” —Francesca Albanese “[Israel] didn’t have the right to act in self-defense, meaning waging a war because it couldn’t wage a war against the people it maintains under occupation.” —Francesca Albanese “After four months, there is no official reconstruction, no official investigation, and no independent investigation on what has happened on the 7th of October. … I do not have evidence to establish the intent.” —Francesca Albanese “[Evidence] at the level of command have not pointed to aggression against the Jews.” —Francesca Albanese Belly Laugh of the Week “I’m vice president of the United States. Anything that I handle is because it’s a tough issue.” —Kamala Harris For more insightful quotes, see our Short Cuts. |

“From The Patriot Post (patriotpost.us)”.
On Friday that Judge Arthur Engoron released a 92-page verdict, ordering President Donald Trump to pay a more than $355 million fine and barred Trump “from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation or other legal entity in New York for a period of three years.”
President Trump’s children, Eric Trump and Donald Jr., were ordered to pay $4,013,024 each, and Trump Org. CFO Allen Weisselberg was ordered to pay $1 million.
The Marxists are even going after the children now. In case you didn’t notice, we are living through a communist revolution today in the United States. That is NOT an exaggeration.
Following the ruling FOX Business Network host Dagen McDowell warned New Yorkers what is coming next after Letitia James’s $355 million lawfare judgment against President Trump and his two sons.
McDowell did not hold back after the unconscionable fine leveled against President Donald Trump and his sons for operating a business in New York State.
Dagen McDowell: “It’s not just Trump they are after! “If you run a business, big or small in New York State, you have to know or assume somebody with a political axe to grind will come after you, too. You better get the hell out of here.”

Another day, another crime involving a “migrant” whose illegal entry and re-entry and re-entry into the country has been actively encouraged by political ideologues whose frenetic ambition to power supersedes the massive and irreparable damage their tactics wreak upon society. Irreparable, that’s both the operative word and the stated intent. Obama’s dream of fundamentally transforming America as we know it plows full steam ahead. Hence, the following incidents numb us into morbid resignation:

An illegal immigrant and five-time deportee from Nicaragua viciously beat and raped a developmentally disabled woman in Ohio. Prior to this, he had been arrested multiple times in the United States on charges of DUI, driving without a license, disorderly intoxication, false imprisonment, and sexual battery. His cumulative punishment from the totality of these prior arrests was a single day in prison and a $10 fine.
A Palestinian asylum seeker in New York stole a pro-Israel banner from the yard of a taxpaying American citizen, and then beat that citizen while yelling antisemitic slurs when he tried to intervene.
An illegal immigrant from Haiti raped a developmentally disabled person in Massachusetts. Months before, he had been arrested for an earlier sexual assault. ICE had a retainer on him, which the judge ignored and promptly released him back into society.
An illegal immigrant from Mexico spent the better part of a decade in Tennessee drugging boys as young as nine before raping them and videotaping the assaults. He had lived here illegally for two decades and had multiple arrests.
A student from Egypt overstayed his visa after dropping out, going on to stab a rabbi and father of twelve outside a Jewish school in Boston. The Egyptian had previously been charged with battery and held in a mental hospital. But not deported.

An illegal immigrant from Mexico in Louisiana was caught with multiple videos on his phone showing himself sexually assaulting an underage girl while the child slept.
An illegal immigrant from Bosnia ambushed the police by stabbing an NYPD officer in the neck, stealing his gun, and using it to shoot other officers as they arrived to help. The Bosnian “sympathized” with a known international terrorist group with certain, ah, fundamentalist religious views. During the attack, the Bosnian repeatedly screamed a two word, five syllabled foreign phrase used to praise this particular religion’s deity, a phrase that is often screamed by such “sympathizers” when carrying out massacres against the infidel. Can you guess the phrase? I bet you can.
If you’re wondering why I didn’t name these feral cretins, it’s because their names aren’t worth the print. Hundreds of stories like these can be found online at the Federation for American Immigration Reform. What unites these animals, beyond their depravity, is that every single one of their crimes would not have occurred had the government…our government…done its job and secured the border.
Glancing through pictures of the hordes of “migrants” meandering around appropriated school gymnasiums, hanging out in front of food trucks, or violently attacking American citizens and police, one detail stands out time and time again. There is a conspicuous absence of the starving, tear-drenched women and children we are assured are simply trying to claw their way onto the lowest rung of the American dream, where they’ll eat apple pie and stand for the anthem like models of assimilation. Rather, there seem to be quite a few military age males who would sooner cut grandma’s throat than help her carry the groceries up the steps.

Now, you’ll travel far and wide to find a commentator who rejects in stronger terms than I the near-meaningless “toxic masculinity” label that’s hurled at every behavior which produces more testosterone than Richard Simmons giving a sponge bath to a rainbow unicorn. But that doesn’t mean that, when I’m out with my family, I don’t keep an eye on the gaggle of boisterous military-age males who look as if they represent a culture that disrespects Western values, basic human decency, and the rights of others to walk down their own streets in broad daylight without being beaten and robbed.
And it would be enough to just have to deal with the rapists and gang members from Central America whose native governments are only too happy to be rid of. But between October 2021 and October 2023, Customs and Border Protection caught 6386 Afghans trying to cross the southern border. They also caught 3153 Egyptians, 13624 Uzbeks, 30830 Turks, 1613 Pakistanis, and 15594 Mauritanians. That doesn’t include the 1.5 million estimated to have snuck into the country undetected. You’ll understand my hesitation in swallowing the narrative that the average Uzbek, Pakistani, of Mauritanian ($7464 average per capita income between the three) somehow procured the means to get to the Texan border without being financially and logistically assisted by special interest groups with a special interest in getting these specific people onto American soil.
What are elected Republicans doing about it? The RINOs are biding their time, hoping Trump loses in November, and that the MAGA movement fizzles away like the Tea Party and Minutemen movements before it. As for our “hardliners”, if they were presented with a bill that deported every illegal tomorrow, built an impenetrable border wall, and stocked the Rio Grande with genetically engineered killer piranhas, they’d vote against it on the grounds that the spending wasn’t offset elsewhere. Per usual, Republican governors are doing what congressional Republicans are utterly incapable of, i.e., their jobs. Their strategy of sending illegals to the cities which proclaim to welcome them has been brilliant.

Denver mayor Mike Johnston just announced he is cutting millions from public services in order to cover housing for illegal immigrants, and lamented the city is “very close” to a breaking point. New York City mayor Eric Adams said that NYC is “out of room, literally” at their “migrant” shelters and that city resources are strained to the limit. Massachusetts state lawmakers are upset that the federal government won’t bail them out from the natural consequences of their own “right to shelter” laws, and are now debating whether to modify or scrap these laws. The state of Illinois has spent almost one billion dollars for the privilege of maintaining its “sanctuary city” status while dealing with the 34,000 “migrants” bussed to them from Texas.
Good.
Governors Abbott, DeSantis, and others should continue sending illegals to sanctuary cities Their consistent pressure is working. Let the progs whine. As Democrat candidate Zerlina Smith-Members of Chicago said, “It’s a Biden thing. It’s a Pritzker thing. It’s a Brandon Johnson thing. They wanted sanctuary cities. It’s not Abbott’s fault, because he didn’t ask for it. We asked for it.”
Keep giving them exactly what they asked for. Reason and logic have never and will never change their minds. Maybe higher crime rates will.

Last week, two street preachers were confronted by several Metropolitan Police officers after a member of the public called in and accused them of hate crimes in the form of racism and homophobia, which caused them alarm and distress. A 10 minute encounter was uploaded by Contagious Christian, but clipped by us below. According to PCN:
One of the Met officers can be heard telling the preacher: “Currently there’s allegations of a hate crime, a public order offence, Section 4a [and] allegations of homophobia….I’ve not heard anything, I’m not saying I’ve heard anything. Someone’s called us. It might be completely untrue or true.
The street preacher insisted he wasn’t saying anything hateful, and recounted what he’d been speaking about:
So we’ve been preaching about the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Bible says in the book of John, chapter three, verse 16, that For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only begotten son, that whosoever, that is any person, doesn’t matter if they’re black, homosexual, drunken, liar, thief, prostitute, whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
“For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but he sent his son into the world that all can be saved. And that is the message of the gospel. That’s what I’ve been preaching”.
Officers informed the preacher that he needed his name for their report because otherwise, if they didn’t get it, they would have “failed a potential victim” in the event they wanted to press charges.
After being threatened with arrest if they didn’t identify themselves, they complied.
