We are now in a crisis of American civilization fully as dangerous and real as the crisis of the U.S. Civil War or World War II. During both those crises, if America had lost, it would have ceased to be America—and the cause of freedom around the world would have been dramatically weakened. …In San Francisco, the declaration by the communist district attorney that theft under $900 will not be prosecuted has led to so much shoplifting that Walgreens is closing all 10 of its drugstores in the city. …Traditional media hostility and dishonesty are overshadowed by the internet giants, who are increasingly acting like Russian oligarchs. They are trying to erase a leader who was supported by more than 75 million Americans with a ruthlessness worthy of Soviet tyranny and the Chinese Communist Party.

Peter Boghossian on Woke Education: ‘No Other Alternative Than to Defund the System:
Boghossian is best known for co-authoring a series of satirical papers and publishing them in peer-reviewed academic journals to reveal how likely fake research would be accepted as legitimate scholarship, so long as it fit in the woke narrative. This very woke ideology he has sought to expose, according to Boghossian, has taken over the American cultural and academic institutions. “I don’t think this is a right-left issue in terms of who has taken over our institutions,” Boghossian told The Epoch Times’ Jan Jekielek, when asked about a cultural warfare that is reshaping the American politics and society. “Instead of thinking about in terms of right-left, I think it’s best to think about it in terms of woke.”

Kevin O’Leary said he was “devastated” when he learned his former football coach, David Flynn, had been fired after questioning a seventh-grade history curriculum that labeled white people and America as inherently racist. “Everyone loves Coach, he gets kids to play football,” O’Leary told a local television news reporter in January. “Coach Flynn is an awesome guy, and we’re all devastated that they fired him. Coach Flynn and Dedham football, it’s like broccoli and cheese sauce, can’t have one without the other.”
Isaiah 5-6 “The Man for a National Crisis” – Dr. John MacArthur
In the following sermon by Dr. MacArthur, he compares the current state of our nation to that of Israel, as portrayed by Isaiah in chapters 5 and 6 of his prophecy. Dr. MacArthur used many scriptures in his portrayal of nations under judgment by God, including Romans 1; Isaiah 1; 14; 66; Matthew 13; Mark 4; Luke 8; John 12; Acts 28; Psalm 81. In Isaiah 5, the prophet pronounced 5 woes for: 1, excessive materialism; 2, for drunken pleasure seeking; 3, for having no knowledge of God; 4, for defiant sinfulness, for blatantly displaying their sins; and 5, the arrogance and conceit of the leaders – they declared evil good and good evil…. His message ultimately stated that there is no hope for our nation, but there is hope of individual salvation, of those elect; believers need to be preaching correctly about the state of affairs in God’s world.

And, it was disappointing to see elements of critical race theory and other aspects of leftist social justice creeping into IF Gathering, a conference for Christian women.
Biden’s Call Upon Congress To Restrict Gun Ownership Is Wrongheaded, Erroneous
President Biden just called on Congress to limit gun ownership, citing the Parkland School shootings as the basis of his rationale; a year ago, I covered that topic via several brief videos wherein Andrew Pollack, father of one of the Parkland shooting victims, investigated the matter, discovering that the real cause of the shootings was very lenient disciplinary strategies, imported to the Parkland school from the Chicago school districts by the Obama administration. Mr Pollack has spoken nationally on the matter, he even appeared at the RNC this past October, emphasizing his support for former president Trump because of his policies
2020 Clarity: Reflecting on God’s Goodness in the Last Year: Dr. John MacArthur
2020 resembled, the church at war, with trials such as the following: every Sunday since August, LA county has tried to close Grace Church; then they tried to revoke the lease of their parking lot; the courts ruled in GC church’s favor… MacArthur loves it that we will be seeing the True Church and The Lie, that is all; there will be no fake church, as the price will be too great to call yourself a Christian if you really aren’t …Those evangelical elite who have embraced social justice, for example, will obviously be part of the lie: under God’s justice all are equal, that is, if you sin, you are held accountable; under SJ, those who sin are called to blame their sinning on others… The Christian life is about two crucifixions: of Christ and the believer: you signed up for death… Firstly, “I am crucified in Christ.” You came to Christ and repented, therein was a death… The second crucifixion is that of consecration, as Luke 9 calls us to take up our cross, deny ourselves and follow Him: death of self is the sanctifying… Paul said, “I die daily”
