D. Patrick Ramsey clarified ‘the choice’ that God presented Israel from Deuteronomy 30:15ff this morning; he also used passages from Proverbs 9 and Matthew 7 because God presented the same choice via those texts. During the sermon, Pastor explained the consequences of choosing life and death; he also explained why so many then and now choose death – they believe the LIE. It is very important to understand what that is and the nature of the choice that every living person must make.

Elon Musk’s Twitter Gambit and What It Means to the ‘Clique in Power’ – Epoch Times Commentary
The response to the Twitter takeover by the arbiters of acceptable expression has been as hysterical as it has been swift. The New York Times, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Media Matters for America, members of the establishment professoriate, and other “experts” have rushed to fortify the defensive forces against free speech…. Musk’s commitment to free speech has raised the hackles of the establishment gatekeepers, who ironically figure free speech as a “threat to democracy.” Alluding to Twitter’s state functions, California State East Bay professor of communication and history Nolan Higdon said that Musk’s acquisition makes “democracy less and less likely to work as it’s designed.” Democracy here does not mean equal representation in the public sphere but rather the preordained domination of a particular “democratic” ideology. This ideology is defined by the imperatives of “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” which are expressed in terms of acceptable and protected identities and politics.
Indiana Voters Heading to Polls With Inflation and Border Security Foremost in Their Minds – Epoch Times
SEYMOUR, Ind.—On May 3 voters in a Republican stronghold in southern Indiana said they are more or less fine with local affairs, but when it comes to national matters they are deeply worried. The top two concerns they have are inflation and border security, according to The Epoch Times’ interviews with a dozen voters in the city of Seymour. Seymour sits in Indiana’s 9th Congressional District, which is an open seat that nine Republican candidates are vying for this year. Whoever wins the primary is almost guaranteed to carry the fall general election.

Florida’s Stance Against Crime As Seen In Arrests Against The ‘Sex Money Murder’ Gang 4-13-22
This post is meant to be contrasted with the one that preceded it; therein, videos were used to picture the stance against crime in CA and NY. Florida is run by a strong republican governor, whereas CA and NY are run by democrats. The safety of citizens used to be the most fundamental concern of state lawmakers and enforcers; that is no longer the case, unless you make it the case when you vote.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BUSINESS OWNERS’ VIEWS ON THE CRIME WAVE OF SMASH AND GRABS
Below are three very brief videos that show the impact of democratic policies such as Prop 47; 57; and Bail Reform on communities in California and New York. Video 1: two minutes long, shows clips of crimes against business owners and in interview with one who has armed himself; video 2; one minute, gives the outcome of 14 criminals who were arrested for smash and grab crimes; video 3, three minutes, shows what New York lawmakers are doing to tweak their terrible and hated (by citizens) bail reform policy (no doubt a mad scramble that they might be re-elected).
Judge Ousts Five School Board Members After Pennsylvania Parent Petition – Epoch Times
A Pennsylvania judge on Tuesday ordered five elected school directors be immediately kicked off the nine-member West Chester Area School board. …It is all in response to a February petition filed by West Chester Area School District parent Beth Ann Rosica. In the petition, Rosica calls for the removal of five school board members, Sue Tiernan, Joyce Chester, Karen Herman, Kate Shaw, and Daryl Durnell. Students returning to in-person classes after two years of remote learning in response to the COVID-19 pandemic were required to wear masks over their mouth and nose. When Pennsylvania ended mandatory school masking, the West Chester Area School District was among a handful of schools that kept masking in place.
