TODAY’S BIBLE READING CHALLENGE:
Ezra 8:21-9:15
1 Corinthians 5:1-13
Psalm 31:1-8
Proverbs 21:1-2
Ezra 8:22 — Ezra was faced with a tension: accept the gracious offer of the king to provide protection, or allow God to protect them as they travel with over $100 million in gold (that’s not counting the silver – see Ezra 8:26). Hudson Taylor once refused to wear a life jacket on a boat because he thought it showed his faith in God. Should we refuse to wear lifejackets as well? How are we to balance keeping our faith in God and exercising reasonable care?
FIRST note that Elijah fasted and prayed about this decision (Ezra 8:23). Keep in mind that this was someone that God was willing to be entreated of (Psalm 66:18). If we’re not living for the LORD, we should be hesitant to claim we heard a command from the LORD.
SECOND note that Ezra learned the lesson of Hezekiah and Sennacherib in 2 Kings 18:15 – trust God first or soldiers won’t help you (Psalm 127:1). His decision was a response to a specific problem in Israelite history, not a general disregard of human precautions. God blessed this decision (Ezra 8:31).
THIRD note how Ezra was demonstrating his trust in God (see today’s reading in Psalm 31), and how he took every human precaution when auditing the treasure. Not because the transport team was untrustworthy, but to a) protect their reputation, b) deter temptation, and c) ensure they focused on the goal for the team instead of personal enrichment, Ezra employed the service of the Levites to transport the treasure. This is similar to a church treasurer who completes a deposit slip with the rest of the finance team and then is dispatched to the bank to deposit the money. The church auditor then reconciles the deposit slip with the deposit receipt to make sure nothing happened to the money enroute. Ezra found trustworthy men (Ezra 8:24), weighed the gold (Ezra 8:25), documented the weights (Ezra 8:26-27), charged the trustworthy men with the sacred trust (Ezra 8:28), and then scheduled an audit in Jerusalem (Ezra 8:29). While today’s treasurer might pocket some loose change enroute, the big danger in times past was debasement. Roman emperors would reduce the silver content of coins thinking people wouldn’t notice. Archimedes famously developed a test to ensure the gold in the crown wasn’t diluted. Here, the chapter concludes with the auditing in Ezra 8:33-34.
Back to Hudson Taylor:
Later he realized that was wrong thinking and wrote, “The use of means ought not to lessen our faith in God; and our faith in God ought not to hinder whatever means He has given us for the accomplishment of His own purposes … When in medical or surgical charge of any case, I have never thought of neglecting to ask God’s guidance and blessing in the use of appropriate means … to me it would appear presumptuous and wrong to neglect the use of those measures which He Himself has put within our reach, as to neglect to take daily food, and suppose that life and health might be maintained by prayer alone” (p. 99). He was later said to be “a man of prayer, but it was prayer associated with action … He prayed about things as if everything depended upon the praying … but he worked also, as if everything depended upon the working” (p. 329).
Excerpt comes from pg. 329 of It Is Not Death to Die: A New Biography of Hudson Taylor by Jim Cromarty
Ezra 9:1-2 — Ezra, whose father was executed by a pagan king in a pagan land as part of God’s judgment on the sins of Israel, knew sin could not be tolerated. They were commanded not to defile themselves with the Canaanites and their practices (Leviticus 18:24). They were commanded not to associate with them but to drive them out (Deuteronomy 7:1). They were not to show any mercy.
Ezra 9:6 — Ezra’s prayer of contrition; he recognizes his lowly position (Psalm 40:17) and the vastness of his sins (Psalm 51:3). He cites the very command they have broken (Ezra 9:11-12, Deuteronomy 7:3). Ezra refuses to allow people to make the same mistake Solomon made (1 Kings 11:1-2).
1 Corinthians 5:1 — Speaking of sin in the camp, Paul commands a harsh penalty (1 Corinthians 5:5) for sinful activity in the local church and God’s disapproval of those who tolerated it (1 Corinthians 5:2, 1 Corinthians 5:6, 1 Corinthians 5:9).
1 Corinthians 5:10-12 — We’re not to avoid those who sin. We must confront those who claim to be washed of their sin in the blood of the Lamb and yet persist in the sin that nailed the Lamb to the Cross! God will take care of sinners; we must take care of our so-called brothers.
Psalm 31:1 — The Psalmist is declaring what Ezra believed: we can trust in the LORD and be delivered! He has delivered us from our enemies!
Proverbs 21:1 — The Lord changed the heart of the king from Ezra 4:21 to Ezra 6:7. God can still change hearts even today!

And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the Lord, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men. (Micah 5:7)
If this be true of the literal Israel, much more is it true of the spiritual Israel, the believing people of God. When saints are what they should be, they are an incalculable blessing to those among whom they are scattered.
They are as the dew; for in a quiet, unobtrusive manner they refresh those around them. Silently but effectually they minister to the life, growth, and joy of those who dwell with them. Coming fresh from heaven, glistening like diamonds in the sun, gracious men and women attend to the feeble and insignificant till each blade of grass has its own drop of dew. Little as individuals, they are, when united, all-sufficient for the purposes of love which the Lord fulfills through them. Dew drops accomplish the refreshing of broad acres. Lord, make us like the dew!
Godly people are as showers which come at God’s bidding without man’s leave and license. They work for God whether men desire it or not; they no more ask human permission than the rain does. Lord, make us thus boldly prompt and free in Thy service wherever our lot is cast.

This Isn’t The End For The Financial Markets – The Truth Is That This Is Just The Beginning Of The Chaos…

The world’s largest search engine was found guilty of violating the Sherman Antitrust Act by U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta, who wrote in his decision, “Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly.”
Based on the numbers, it’s hard to disagree. Google owns more than 90% of Internet search engine traffic.
Google spent billions on deals with the likes of Apple and Samsung to ensure that its search engine was the default on the vast majority of smartphones. This move helped Google garner hundreds of billions in annual ad revenue. Last year alone, Google pulled in north of $237 billion in ad revenue. Compare that to just over $51 billion 10 years ago. Google’s smartphone deal appears to have a lot to do with its tremendous growth in ad revenue. At least that’s what the judge concluded.
This ruling also represents a big win for the Justice Department, as it is the first successful antitrust case against Google in over 20 years. And it couldn’t have happened to a “nicer” company.
So, what does this mean for Google going forward? And what impact might this have on users’ Internet experience?
Regarding the first question, Loyola University Chicago School of Law professor Spencer Weber Waller surmises, “There are no fines or monetary penalties in these types of cases, but the court will have to decide whether Google should be broken up in some way. More likely, it will order Google to eliminate the exclusive contracts and licensing restrictions that have reinforced its monopoly position for years.”
The answer to the second question is not as easy to suss out. One of the biggest winners, though, is Microsoft. As Chamber of Progress CEO Adam Kovacevich notes, “Microsoft has underinvested in search for decades, but today’s ruling opens the door to a court mandate of default deals for Bing.”
However, advertisers will also benefit from this decision. As Judge Mehta wrote, “The only apparent constraint on Google’s pricing decisions are potential advertiser outcry and bad publicity. Google, however, has managed to avoid those pitfalls by ramping up its pricing incrementally … many advertisers do not even realize that Google is responsible for the changes in price.”
But is all this too little, too late? Is Google simply being punished for being the best?
Based on Google’s popularity and track record, there is simply no better search engine. While others compete and offer certain features, such as greater privacy and anti-tracking, neither of them has the sheer size and resources that Google does.
If only Google were more honest and less biased in favor of Democrats.
But with the growth of AI technology, Google’s days as the king of search engines may be numbered. AI-based search engines are the future, and Google has clearly stumbled out of the blocks in the AI development race.
AI-based search engines may one day cause people to stop saying “Google it” and instead say “Check AI.”

On Friday, X user “AstheWorldBurns” posted a string of videos and previous statements that reveal the dark beliefs of Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
In one tweet “AstheWorldBurns” revealed Kamala’s communist intentions.
26. Kamala Harris is a communist and her word choices give it away. “Equitable distribution” “equity” – It’s a repackaged version of Karl Marx’ popularized slogan “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” meaning a redistribution of wealth.
Here is the video compilation of Kamala proving to the masses that she is a communist.
And here is the tweet.
On Wednesday morning, X owner Elon Musk weighed in and publicly agreed that Kamala Harris is “Quite literally a communist.”
The tweet already has 150,000 likes.

This was always the Democrat Party dream since Barack Obama came into the picture.
Elon is making free speech great again!

I couldn’t believe it either when I first heard about it.

What a shock!
The Kamala-Walz campaign was caught today astroturfing their grassroots support. Everyone knows Kamala Harris, the worst vice president in US history, has no wide support from the American people – especially after the Biden coup!
But this won’t stop Democrats from buying the appearance of support! Just like they buy votes.
State Senator Jake Hoffman from Arizona posted evidence that Democrats are reaching out to social media users to pay them to say nice things about Kamala and Tampon Tim.
Senator Hoffman posted the proof. Kamala’s campaign worker, Alicia Howard, sent out letters to Instagram users to pay them for supporting her campaign.
The email reads in part:
Over a series of three posts, we’re inviting you to share what you admire about the Biden-Harris Administration, what initiatives you support, or simply why you believe Kamala Harris, with Biden’s endorsement, is the best candidate for the job.
At MJ Ventures, we specialize in organizing impactful projects – and I’d be happy to share with you some of our previous work if you’re interested.
This project is moving quickly, so if you’re interested in creating content on Instagram, please let me know as soon as possible. We can discuss the details and compensation for your involvement.

Alicia Howard followed up with a second email to the social media users.
“I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to follow up on the email I sent a couple of days ago regarding our paid partnership. Please let me know if you need any additional information,” the email reads.

Jake Hoffman reported:
HARRIS-WALZ CAUGHT ASTROTURFING CAMPAIGN SUPPORT
An Instagram whistleblower with nearly 150k followers contacted me with screenshots exposing a sophisticated Astroturfing effort underway by the Harris-Walz campaign.
Social media users are being PAID to post pro Harris-Walz content on Instagram.
Democrats know that Harris-Walz have zero grassroots support, so they’re trying to manufacture fake support using cash as the incentive.
Do NOT fall for Democrats’ propaganda and actively help your friends, family, and neighbors see through the astroturfing!
What a joke these people are.

Do you believe Donald Trump? He is entirely convinced that if we stay on the path that we are currently on we are heading into a “great depression”, and many believe that he is right on target. Unemployment is rising, manufacturing activity is contracting, bankruptcies are soaring, home sales have fallen to depressingly low levels, the cost of living crisis never seems to end, poverty is soaring and homelessness is at the highest level ever recorded. Since Barack Obama first entered the White House, our politicians in Washington have been propping up the economy by adding 25 trillion dollars to the national debt. Now our national debt has crossed the 35 trillion dollar mark, and our politicians continue to spend money at a pace that is absolutely absurd. But despite this tremendous influx of borrowed cash, the wheels are starting to come off the U.S. economy anyway.
This week, everyone is talking about a “recession” because of what has been happening in the financial markets.
Prior to Tuesday’s session, more than 6 trillion dollars in global stock market wealth had already been wiped out…
Bloomberg estimates that approximately $6.4 trillion has been erased from the value of global stock markets over the past three weeks.
Investors were desperately hoping for a bounce on Tuesday, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average only jumped 294 points.
Needless to say, that is not the bounce that they were looking for.
The turmoil that we have witnessed on Wall Street in recent days also caught the attention of Donald Trump.
On Truth Social, he blamed crashing stock prices on Kamala Harris and he warned that a “great depression” is on the way…
Trump took to Truth Social to blast Harris for the “Kamala Crash” in a series of posts.
“Of course there is a massive market downturn. Kamala is even worse than Crooked Joe. Markets will NEVER accept the Radical Left Lunatic that destroyed San Francisco and California, as a whole,” Trump wrote.
“Next move, THE GREAT DEPRESSION OF 2024! You can’t play games with MARKETS. KAMALA CRASH!!!” he added.
Of course Trump is in the middle of trying to win an election, and his goal was to make Kamala Harris look bad.
But he is quite right that if we stay on the road that we are on it will only end in disaster.
Last Friday, the Sahm rule was triggered when the unemployment rate went up again…
The Sahm rule, created by the former Federal Reserve official Claudia Sahm, triggers when the unemployment rate’s three-month moving average moves 50 basis points above its 12-month low.
That rule was triggered Friday, with the moving average rising 53 basis points above that one-year trough, according to the real-time Sahm Rule Recession Indicator from the St. Louis Federal Reserve.
The Sahm rule has successfully predicted every single recession since 1970, and it is indicating that another recession is here.
Sadly, the unemployment rate is likely to go even higher during the months ahead because large companies all over America continue to conduct mass layoffs. Today, we learned that Dell is planning another round of mass layoffs…
While Dell has confirmed the layoffs, it hasn’t revealed how many employees are losing their jobs. SiliconAngle reports that roughly 12,500 Dell employees are being laid off this week, citing an unnamed source. Impacted employees are primarily on Dell’s sales and marketing teams. A layoff tracker has since reported the same number.
Former Dell employee Ian Armstrong, who previously worked on the company’s UX design team for eight years, called the layoffs a “bloodbath” in a post, reporting that Dell has now laid off 24,500 staff in the past 15 months.
Meanwhile, the cost of living crisis continues to crush working families all over the nation.
At this point, it takes an additional thousand dollars a month for the typical U.S. household to buy the exact same goods and services that it did three years ago…
The typical U.S. household needed to pay $227 more a month in March to purchase the same goods and services it did one year ago because of still-high inflation, according to calculations from Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi shared with FOX Business.
Americans are paying on average $784 more each month compared with the same time two years ago and $1,069 more compared with three years ago, before the inflation crisis began.
Consumer spending has always been so critical to the U.S. economy.
And at this point, a very large portion of the population is simply tapped out.
That is one of the primary reasons why credit card debt is at an all-time high and credit card delinquencies are soaring into the stratosphere…
Credit card delinquencies continued to rise from their pre-pandemic levels in the second quarter. As of June, about 9.1% of outstanding credit card debt was in some stage of delinquency, up from 8.5% the previous quarter.
The rise in credit card usage and debt is particularly concerning because interest rates are astronomically high right now. The average credit card annual percentage rate (APR) hit a new record of 20.73% last week, according to a Bankrate database that goes back to 1985. The previous record was 19% in July 1991.
Of course it isn’t just millions of consumers that have reached a breaking point.
As I discussed a few days ago, we are witnessing a very alarming surge in business bankruptcies…
Over the past year, business bankruptcy filings are up 40.3 percent, and have now reached a number not seen since the second quarter of 2020, at the peak of lockdowns. American households are following along, with total bankruptcy filings up 16.2 percent in the past year, including 132,710 new filings in the second quarter of 2024 alone.
A 40 percent increase in one year is quite serious.
And every day even more businesses are going belly up. Here is one of the latest examples…
A popular Italian restaurant chain has filed for bankruptcy – just days after it abruptly shut 13 underperforming locations across the US.
Court documents filed just before midnight on Sunday show Buca di Beppo owes as much as $50million – yet has assets of under $50,000.
Last week, the chain – known for its family-style dishes and vintage décor – permanently closed restaurants in California and Florida. It also shut its last remaining locations in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
It is a horror show out there.
According to the Sahm rule, a new recession is now upon us.
But if Donald Trump is correct, something even worse is looming.
Unfortunately, most people just don’t get it.
If people really understood what is on the horizon, they would be behaving very differently.
Most of the population is still convinced that things will turn out just fine somehow, and for the moment ignorance is bliss.

The post Donald Trump Says That A Great Depression Is Coming. He Is Right. appeared first on The Economic Collapse.
What in the world was Kamala Harris thinking? There is a reason why the Trump campaign is so giddy right now. Kamala Harris could have had Josh Shapiro, but instead she picked Tim Walz. When I wrote that “Kamala Harris has a tendency to really mess things up”, I was not exaggerating one bit. This election is going to be decided by the swing states, and the most critical swing state by far is Pennsylvania. Whoever wins Pennsylvania is almost certainly going to win the presidency. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has a 61 percent favorability rating in his state, and so he was seemingly the obvious pick. The following comes from CNN…
Pennsylvania, on the other hand, is almost certainly a must-win state for Harris if she wants to be president. In fact, it is probably the most important swing state this cycle, and the polling there has been very tight.
Shapiro currently holds a 61% favorable rating in Pennsylvania and outperformed Biden’s 2020 baseline by 14 points in 2022.
Whether that would have been enough to propel a Harris-Shapiro ticket in Pennsylvania this fall is a question mark, though political science literature suggests it very well could have.
If the loss of Pennsylvania ends up costing the Democrats the White House, many on the left will be absolutely furious with Kamala Harris for making such a bone-headed choice.
When Donald Trump learned that Harris had picked Walz, he issued a two word response…
Trump took to Truth Social to deliver a two-word response to Harris’ choice of running mate.
“THANK YOU!” Trump wrote in all capital letters.
This was an enormous gift to the Trump campaign.
So why didn’t Harris pick Shapiro?
Well, the truth is that many on the left were deeply concerned that he is Jewish and that he has a history of being strongly pro-Israel…
Shapiro has been a staunch supporter of Israel for decades, dating back to his high school and college days when he wrote for a student newspaper at the University of Rochester. One opinion piece, titled “Peace Not Possible”, resurfaced in a newspaper last month.
“Palestinians will not coexist peacefully,” Shapiro wrote. “They do not have the capabilities to establish their own homeland and make it successful even with the aid of Israel and the United States. They are too battle-minded to be able to establish a peaceful homeland of their own.”
In that article, Shapiro also said he had previously served as a volunteer in the Israeli army.
There was apparently concern that having Shapiro on the ticket could cost Harris the state of Michigan if too many Muslims stayed home and didn’t vote.
With Walz on the ticket, that isn’t likely to be an issue.
But if Harris doesn’t win Pennsylvania there is probably no path to victory for her.
Of course there is no going back now.
Harris has made her choice, and everyone is going to have to live with it.
The following are 7 things that you should know about Tim Walz…
#1 In 2020, Walz presided over the BLM riots that resulted in large portions of Minneapolis being burned to the ground…
Walz is a radical leftist who presided over the George Floyd riots in 2020 and ignored cries from across the state. Instead, he stated that “a society that does not put equity and inclusion first will come to this result.”
He even mocked Minnesota national guardsmen as a bunch of ’19-year-old cooks” when asked why he rejected Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s request to send them to the city.
#2 Minnesota became a “sanctuary state” under Walz, and he has made sure that migrants are eligible for all sorts of free goodies…
As governor, Walz also has signed several pieces of legislation to provide state-funded health care, driver’s licenses and free college tuition to illegal migrants.
“Ensuring drivers in our state are licensed and carry insurance makes the roads safer for all Minnesotans,” Walz said in 2023 after signing the bill to allow thousands of illegal migrants in his state with driver’s licenses.
#3 Minnesota also became a “trans refuge” state under Walz…
Kamala Haris’ progressive running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, helped to transform Minnesota into a “trans refuge” state — signing legislation to protect gender-affirming care and to provide tampons in boys’ bathrooms at schools.
Walz, 60, a former high school teacher, signed the so-called “Trans Refuge” bill into law in April 2023, prohibiting the enforcement of out-of-state subpoenas, arrest warrants and extradition requests for people who travel to the North Star State from other states for gender-affirming care.
#4 The bill that Walz signed into law in April 2023 also allows Minnesota authorities to take children from any parents that try to prevent their kids from getting sex change surgeries…
Vice President Kamala Harris’ newly announced running mate — Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz — signed a bill in April of 2023 allowing the state to make custody determinations if a child is denied access to sex-change procedures.
The “Trans Refuge Bill” allows for “temporary emergency jurisdiction” if a parent denies their child sex-change procedures, according to the bill’s text. The bill defines the interventions, which include sex-changes, hormone replacement and cosmetic surgeries, as “medically necessary” so long as it “respects the gender identity of the patient, as experienced and defined” by the child.
#5 It is being alleged that Walz quit the National Guard after he learned that his unit would be deployed to Iraq…
Veterans have accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz of “embellishing” his military career and abandoning his National Guard battalion, highlighting that the now-vice presidential pick for the Democrats never served in combat and retired from service ahead of his unit’s 2005 deployment to Iraq.
In a letter posted to Facebook in 2018 as he first ran for governor, retired Command Sergeants Major Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr said Walz retired from his 24-year tenure in the National Guard after learning that his battalion would be deployed to Iraq, despite allegedly assuring his fellow troops he would join them.
#6 Many people don’t realize this, but Walz actually considers himself to be a Lutheran…
More specifically, he sometimes describes himself as a “Minnesota Lutheran.” “Because we’re good Minnesota Lutherans, we have a rule: if you do something good and talk about it, it no longer counts,” Walz joked during a speech last spring. “So what you have to do is to get someone else to talk about you.”
#7 It turns out that Walz has a very long history of being close to China…
Walz, 60, went to China straight after college through a program set up by Harvard University and taught in Guangdong province, shortly after the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing in 1989.
He would later honeymoon in China with his wife Gwen, bringing a group of 60 young people with them
In the 1990s the couple set up a business which took high school students to China every summer for around a decade.
Walz has been to China dozens of times, including on trade missions, and has called his experiences there ‘amazing’.
The Harris/Walz ticket is the most liberal presidential ticket that we have ever seen.
From a tactical point of view, I don’t think that this is a smart move by the Democrats.
But we shall see what happens.
This is definitely going to be a close election, and whichever side loses is going to be extremely upset.
In particular, if Trump wins I think that we will see tremendous civil unrest all over this country.
And now that Harris has picked Walz, I think that a Trump victory is even more likely.
But a lot could still change over the next few months, and I have a feeling that several more major surprises are still to come.

The post Kamala Harris Just Made A Colossal Mistake – Here Are 7 Things You Should Know About Tim Walz appeared first on End Of The American Dream.
I collected together a few stories that show some of the past actions of the two members of the Democrat party presidential ticket. Some of these you may already know, and some may be new to you. The appeal of the ticket is surface-level. Kamala is so brown and female, and Tim Walz is so nice. This is interesting to some people, but more interesting to me is what policies I would have to live under.
Here’s a couple of articles about the vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, who is the current governor of Minnesota.
Walz… came under scrutiny over his response to both the coronavirus pandemic and riots in the wake of the death of George Floyd, who was killed by a Minneapolis police officer in May 2020.
Walz waited days after riots in Minneapolis to call in the National Guard. By then, anti-police protesters had burned down a police station in Minneapolis and caused $500 million in damage.
Walz signed a bill last year to restore voting rights to 55,000 convicted felons in Minnesota as part of an initiative to “expand the right to vote.” And Walz signed a bill last year to provide free college and health care to illegal immigrants, even as he raised taxes on gasoline, cars, retail deliveries, and other items.
We’ll find out more about his response to COVID in this article from the UK Daily Mail:
Minnesota Republicans also singled out Walz for mishandling coronavirus funds that sent $250 million to a nonprofit group Feeding Our Future, ignoring warning signs that the organization was mishandling the funds.
The organization was using the funds for luxury cars, jewelry, travel and property, according to reports, while only using a small portion of the money from the federal government for feeding children.
At the time, Republicans blamed Walz for failing basic oversight and continuing to allow the non-profit to receive funds.
The Minnesota Department of Education flagged serious concerns about the group in 2018, but failed to address them, and gave even more funding to the organization.
According to this article from The Blaze:
As thousands of BLM rioters who burned down half of Minneapolis remain out of jail, and as a record number of criminals remain on the streets, a business owner is now sitting in de facto solitary confinement for 90 days for the crime of having her restaurant open during the illegal lockdowns.
Business owners go to jail, but rioters and arsonists get released. Also during COVID, Walz set up an anonymous snitch hotline so that progressives could report their conservative neighbors for non-compliance. Is that the sort of country you want to live in?
What else has Walz accomplished?
The Federalist on his abortion legislation, which Walz signed into law:
Minnesota Democrats are poised to ignore the at least 69 percent of Americans who say they want significant limits on abortion to pass the state’s most radical abortion bill, which would legalize taxpayer-funded on-demand abortion for all.
The Protect Reproductive Options Act (PROA), the first bill Democrats introduced in both the state House and Senate this session, would repeal dozens of the state’s protections for women and babies and expand legal immunity for abortions up until the moment of birth and beyond.
Speaking of the abortion issue, lets’ move on to the Democrat presidential nominee, Kamala Harris.
Here’s an article about her from the New York Post:
Kamala Harris stands accused of “weaponizing” the California Attorney General’s office against a pro-life activist who alleges he was exposing the illegal sale of aborted fetuses.
David Daleiden, whose nine-year legal saga instigated by Harris is still ongoing, released shocking undercover videos he took of Planned Parenthood executives discussing fees and prices for fetal tissues in July 2015.
He now faces eight felony charges and possible jail time for making the videos without getting the executives’ permission to film them, as well as “manufacturing” a fake driving license.
Daleiden’s lawyers say it’s one of the first times the California AG’s office has ever undertaken a stand-alone prosecution involving the state’s video-recording law.
His lawyers, who include Steve Cooley, Los Angeles’s second-longest serving DA, contend Harris — who served as California Attorney General from 2011 to 2017 — singled him out to do the bidding of Planned Parenthood, who have contributed heavily to her campaigns for office.
“What Kamala Harris did was unconstitutional and vindictive,” Cooley told The Post. “It was a selective prosecution for huge donors.
“Kamala Harris opened this investigation at the behest of Planned Parenthood and the two AGs that followed her have kept it alive.”
That one is particularly important for me, because I already have concerns about federal law enforcement singling out Christians and social conservatives, while they let real criminals and terrorists get a free ride. This would likely get worse under a Harris presidency.
And of course there is her record as the person responsible for securing the Southern border.
Daily Signal explains:
“The fact is she has a long track record of opposing border security and immigration enforcement, whether as a senator, a presidential candidate, or as Joe Biden’s ‘border czar,’” Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, recently said on the House floor.
[…]Just over 31% of illegal aliens encountered at the nation’s borders were removed during the Trump-Pence administration, according to the National Immigration Center for Enforcement. During the Biden-Harris administration, by contrast, 4.4% of illegal aliens encountered at the borders have been removed.
Harris previously advocated “progressive” immigration policies. Most notably, during her brief run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, she expressed support for providing government health care to illegal aliens and decriminalizing border crossings by foreign nationals.
That’s what you’re going to get on border security from a Harris-Walz presidency. Is that what you want?

We now know that Kamala has picked Tim Walz to be her Vice-Presidential running mate. This is quite the pair. Taken together they are the most radical, progressive ticket to run for office in American history.
Just as California Senator Kamala Harris has been the most far-left American Senator, so too Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is the most far left American Governor. As one pundit put it, ‘their California dream is every American’s nightmare’.
Between the radicalism of Kamala in San Francisco and the radicalism of Walz in Minnesota, this is the dream team of the radical hyper-left. Berne Sanders approves of him – so too the far-left Squad including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). The hardcore National Teachers’ Union fully loves him as well. On and on goes the list of fanatical supporters.
Everyone had expected that Josh Shapiro would have been the choice of Kamala. The Jewish Pennsylvania Governor had been a supporter of Israel and was in favour of school choice. Clearly, he was too Jewish for the Hamas wing of the Democrat party, and too moderate for the radicals that control the party.
They ignored the moderate Democrats and they seem intent on only pleasing the radicals and the leftists. Well, at least they have now fully declared their hand. Everyone now knows where they stand, and how radically they differ from the Republican ticket. The choice could not be starker for voters come November 5.
Tim Walz
The Governor is 60 years old. Kamala is 59. Together they have 119 years on them. If critics claim Trump is too old at 78 (hey, they did not mind Sleepy Joe at 81), Vance is 39, making their team 117 years! So I am not sure how age should be seen as a factor here.
He was elected as Governor of Minnesota in 2018, and again in 2022. He is in every respect a far left liberal. Here are just some bullet points as to the man, his positions, and his track record. As with Kamala, had he has said and what he has done tells us all we need to know. Consider these points:
He supports sanctuary states and sanctuary cities for illegals.
He fully supports illegal immigration.
He gave illegal aliens drivers licenses, free health care access, free tuition, and so on.
He said that if Trump builds 25-foot walls on the southern border, he would produce 30-foot ladders for those wanting to illegally enter America.
He fully supports the radical and woke sexual agendas.
He pushed sex-change operations for children – regardless of parental consent.
He even forced schools to have tampons in boy’s fourth grade bathrooms.
He of course loves Communist China.
He visited China over 30 times! He even went there to teach earlier on.
He married on the eve of the Tiananmen Square massacre, and then honeymooned there!
He is a self-professed socialist. He says socialism just means being “neighbourly”!
He is fully pro BLM (Black Lives matter).
He allowed rioting, looting and arson in the cities in the summer of 2020 – Minneapolis especially.
He blamed the riots on a lack of “equity” and “inclusion”.
He allowed police stations to be burned down.
He called the rioting and destruction “large peaceful protests”.
He supported the rioting while Kamala worked to get the rioters out on bail.
The Minneapolis leftist mayor had begged Walz to bring in the National Guard to stop the destruction of the city, but he had to wait five days before Walz finally acted. But by then it was too late of course – the damage was done.
He was in favour of defunding the police.
His weak-on-crime policies have meant the state has seen crime rates soar.
Crime in Minneapolis in now higher than the national average.
He has said he thinks the Minnesota state flag is racist!
He also did care for national historical figures. For example, he did nothing to stop statues of Columbus being toppled.
He opposed reliable energy moving into Minnesota, wanting to ban fracking and fossil fuels.
He of course supports abortion up to birth.
He has a 100 per cent rating from Planned Parenthood.
During the Covid wars he pushed some of the most hardcore mandates and lockdowns in the nation.
He created a Covid snitch line so people could report on their neighbours for not being compliant and servile citizens.
He even bribed teenagers with promises of scholarships if they got the jab.
This is just a partial record of this hyper-leftist. So for Kamala to team up with Walz, we really do have the most radical, the most “progressive,” and the most dangerous pair seeking to run for the top job in American history.
And of course the lamestream media is colluding with the pair to try to paint both of them as “moderates”! Yeah right. Even the corrupt Dems and media would have to do far too much rewriting, editing and censoring of history to get away with that. Their record speaks for itself. They are a pair of uber-leftists bent on obliterating the United States.
Heaven help America if they win office.
