Israeli archaeologists find 2,700-year-old artifact that backs the Bible
Israeli archaeologists have discovered a 2,700-year-old seal, validating accounts in the Bible which describe the existence of a governor in the city. The seal, unearthed near the plaza of the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem, bears an inscription in ancient Hebrew that reads, “belonging to the governor of the city.” According to the excavator, Dr Shlomit Weksler-Bdolah, the seal “supports the Biblical rendering of the existence of a governor of the city of Jerusalem 2,700 years ago.” The governor of Jerusalem is mentioned twice in the Bible, but until now no archaeological artifacts had been discovered. According…
The testimony of a former lesbian
Emily spent 7 years living out her same-sex attractions while being outspoken about God’s acceptance of her lifestyle. After her engagement with her female partner ended, she was invited to a Bible study. This weekly examination of the holiness of God challenged her day after day until her life completely changed. People say to me all the time, ‘I was born this way.’ I say, OK, me too. You’re not born with right affections, that’s why Jesus had to come. You feeling a desire to sin just proves you need grace, just like me. It’s not gay to straight. It’s…
Have you heard of the Laffer Curve?
PragerU asks: “Should tax rates be higher? It’s the million dollar question! Up? Down? No change? Where in the world should taxes go? In election years, the question of tax rates fills the airwaves. In non-election years, the question of tax rates, again, fills the airwaves. So what’s the answer? UCLA Professor of Economics Tim Groseclose explains his research on the topic. Basically, there’s a certain point at which higher tax rates actually reduce the amount of revenue the government collects. What’s that point? When are tax rates too high? Learn a valuable lesson in economics, and public policy.” 
Immigration cannot solve world poverty
Roy Beck, founder of NumbersUSA, offers a revealing presentation responding to the notion that mass immigration can help to reduce world poverty. How many people in the world make less than $2 per day? Here are the numbers, according to Beck: Africa: 650,000,000 India: 890,000,000 China: 480,000,000 Rest of Asia: 810,000,000 Latin America: 105,000,000 Of the 7.4 billion people on earth, there is a total of 3 billion people who make less than $2 per day. If we include those who live in countries with an average income lower than that of Mexico, there is an additional 2.6 billion, making…
Did Hitler borrow ideas from American Democrats?
“Hordes of people [are] born, who live, yet who have done absolutely nothing to advance the race one iota. Their lives are hopeless repetitions… Such human weeds clog up the path, drain up the energies and the resources of this little earth. We must clear the way for a better world; we must cultivate our garden.”[note]Margaret Sanger. Birth Control: Facts and Responsibilities, 1925[/note] You’d be forgiven for thinking these were the words of Adolf Hitler. Truth is, they’re not. They’re the words of a woman Hilary Clinton claims she “admires… enormously.” Barack Obama has said he is “truly grateful” to…
Christian couple forced to close business and pay $135,000 to an offended same-sex couple
An Oregon state appeals court has ruled that Aaron and Melissa Klein, former-owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, will have to pay a lesbian couple $135,000 in damages after they refused to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding. The incident took place in January 2013, when Rachel Bowman-Cryer went to the Portland bakery with her mother. After learning the cake was for Rachel and her same-sex partner Laurel, Aaron apologised and said they were not able to make same-sex wedding cakes. Rachel and Laurel filed a formal complaint with the state labor bureau, which found the bakery had violated…
Almost half of your income tax is given to welfare
According to new data obtained from the Treasury through Senate Estimates, the average taxpayer pays $11,427 in income tax, and almost half of that is given to welfare. Senator Eric Abetz said: With more than half the budget being spent on health and welfare, it is clear that our current fiscal situation is unsustainable and we need to see if we can deliver the same outcomes while spending less money. Further, the fact that each taxpayer is paying $474 towards interest on our national debt once again highlights how important it is to reduce the debt burden on future generations.…

LGBTQ history mandatory in primary schools
California has become the first state to approve LGBT-inclusive textbooks for use in primary schools. Ten textbooks for kindergarten through to eighth-grade, were approved by the California State Board of Education last month. The Fair, Accurate, Inclusive, and Respectful Education Act is a California law which mandates the inclusion of the political, economic, and social contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people into educational textbooks and social studies curricular in California public schools. The California State Board of Education also rejected two textbooks published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. The textbooks were rejected because they failed to address the sexual orientations…
Which is more rational, God or Atheism?
Atheism is often presented as the most rational of all positions. According to the atheist, we cannot see God, so belief in God requires blind faith, and that kind of wishful thinking is not easily embraced by the rational thinker. But what if believing in God isn’t irrational at all? In the following video, Peter Kreeft, Professor of Philosophy at Boston College, suggests belief in God is actually more rational than atheism. 
“Not all refugees are terrorists, but most terrorists are refugees”
In Miranda Devine’s latest piece, she argues, “It is time for honesty about the source of the terrorist threat in this country, and the make-up of our refugee intake. There are plenty of Christian and Yazidi refugees in the world to help, without offering to share our home with people who want to kill us.” Mark Steyn made a similar call in response to the recent attack in Melbourne, stating, “Instead of attempting to ring-fence every potential target – i.e., everything and everyone – with Diversity Bollards, we could try installing bollards where they matter – around the civilized world.”…
Moderate Islam: Not what you think
Military instructor and researcher Hussein Aboubakr explains: “After every new Jihadist attack against the West, politicians reassure us that the atrocity does not represent the true nature of mainstream Islam. Of the 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, they constantly reassure us, the overwhelming majority are as law abiding as any members of any other monotheistic faith. Only a tiny fraction engage in terror. And Islam is a religion of peace. Furthermore, we are told, the great majority of Muslims hold moderate views.” But what does “moderate” mean? How moderate are moderate Muslims? According to the Pew Research Center, 88%…

Multiculturalism: A denial of the reality that some cultures are objectively superior
During the panel discussion at ‘The Collapse of Europe?’ conference, Mark Steyn spoken on multiculturalism and its impact on the West. The following excerpts are taken from that speech. Multiculturalism is the slipperiest ‘ism’ because it doesn’t invite an argument, it says, there’s no point to having an argument. It says basically, if everything is of equal value what the hell is the point of talking about any of it? And that is what makes it such an elusive enemy to get a hold on… Almost every Western country has signed up to full-blown multiculturalism. And I say just every Western…
Jihad and the “Religion of Peace”
It’s reported that since 2001, Islamic terrorists have carried out more than 32,000 deadly attacks. Just in the past month there have been 133 attacks in 20 different countries, causing 2,013 deaths and 1,123 injuries. Yet often, whenever an Islamic terrorist attack takes place, many are quick to defend Islam by insisting violence fundamentally contradicts the Muslim faith. So, if Islam is a Religion of Peace, why are so many terrorist attacks committed by Muslims? In the following video, David Wood explains: Muslims in the West are quick to point to passages such as Quran 109:6 (“You shall have your religion…
Grown ups believe in Santa too, they just call him by a different name
The idea of a big, benevolent man in red, distributing gifts to all free of charge, is not limited to the imaginative minds of children. This is a fantasy held by many adults too. Only, they don’t refer to him as Santa Claus, but the Government – and Ron Paul is Ebeneezer Scrooge. In a Christmas post on Facebook, Paul shared a pictured that said, “Before you make fun of children for believing in [Santa], remember there are adults who believe in benevolent governments.” The former presidential candidate went on to say, “Government is not Mother Teresa. It’s not ‘caring,’ or…
Mark Steyn: We Are the Bollards
Commenting on the recent events in Melbourne, Mark Steyn writes: One of the problems with bollarding off pedestrians behind a wall of Diversity Bollards is that they still occasionally have to emerge from behind the bollards to cross the street, and it’s hard to bollard off a pedestrian crossing. In this case, the non-terror-related Australian citizen simply waited until the little green sign indicated it was safe for pedestrians to cross the street and then floored it. In an amusing touch, his car eventually came to a rest against a bollard. What’s the solution? Maybe automobile manufacturers could replace airbags…
Father Christmas is offensive: Calls to rename Santa “Person Christmas”
The TODAY Show claimed there have been controversial calls for Father Christmas to be renamed “Person Christmas” to make the icon gender-fluid. Some suggest the calls were initially a joke, but many have also voiced their support of Santa’s castration. Joke or not, it honestly wouldn’t surprise us in the least. 
Australia betrays the United States and Israel
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed a United Nations vote to reject US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The resolution condemning the Trump administration’s move was passed with overwhelming support on Thursday. A total of 128 countries voted in favour of the resolution, while only nine voted against it. There were 35 absentions, including Australia.
