Kamala Harris Tells Christians, “You’re at the Wrong Rally. After Kamala made her pro-abortion, anti-Christian stance clear, a couple of pro-lifers shouted, “Jesus is Lord” and “Christ is King,” to which she said mockingly, “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally. I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street,” referring to a Trump rally. The pro-lifers were mocked as they were escorted from the rally. (However, the opposite happened when a rally attendant shouted “Jesus is King” at a Trump/Vance rally. Sen. Vance quickly responded, “That’s right, Jesus is King.”)

Now, it appears Al Jazeera may have actual Islamist terrorists on their payroll.

Orwellian Society

To Our Culture, Convenience and Entertainment Outrank Freedom. Our culture is about to embrace technology that will eventually be used to control, deceive, and lead people away from truth, all in the name of convenience and entertainment. Have you heard of the new Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses? Two Harvard University students were able to hack strangers’ information by wearing these glasses and looking at them.

Concluding Scripture

Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also…. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:1-3, 27).

Netanyahu took offense at remarks France’s Emmanuel Macron made, in which he stated, “Mr Netanyahu must not forget his country was created by a decision of the UN…. Therefore, this is not the time to disregard the decisions of the UN.” Netanyahu’s office responded with a reminder to Macron: “It was not a UN decision that established the State of Israel but the victory achieved in the War of Independence with the blood of our heroic fighters, many of whom were Holocaust survivors, including from the Vichy regime in France.”

France bans Israel from defense show. Macron’s actions are a disgrace to France and values of the free world, which he claims to uphold. The decision to discriminate against Israeli defense industries in France – a second time – aids Israel’s enemies during war.

Netanyahu to Macron: UN did not create Israel; ‘heroic fighters’ did. Israel was established not by the U.N. but “with the blood of our heroic fighters, many of whom were Holocaust survivors, including from the Vichy regime in France,” Netanyahu said.
