French President Emmanuel Macron wants to build a European army to oppose the United States.
The speech delivered by Emmanuel Macron, at the Armistice Centenary this week, was a carefully targeted rejection of Donald Trump and his popular platform. French President Emmanuel Macron remarked: The old demons are rising again, ready to complete their task of chaos and of death. Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. In saying, ‘Our interests first, whatever happens to the others’, you erase the most precious thing a nation can have, that which makes it live, that which causes it to be great and that which is most important: its moral values. Macron…
President Trump slams Obama: “I’ll never forgive him… he made this country very unsafe.”
President Donald Trump has responded after Michelle Obama said she will never forgive him for putting her family at risk. In her forthcoming book Becoming, the former first lady wrote: The whole [birther] thing was crazy and mean-spirited, of course, its underlying bigotry and xenophobia hardly concealed. But it was also dangerous, deliberately meant to stir up the wingnuts and kooks. What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washington? What if that person went looking for our girls? Donald Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family’s safety at risk. And…
The confessing church is a church of martyrs.
The word martyr [μάρτυς] means to ‘bear witness’, this is derived from the word marturion [μαρτύριον] which is understood to mean evidence testimony; witness; to be testified. The word martyr is also connected to martyromai [μαρτύρομαι] ‘I am urging; I am bearing witness; I am declaring; I am insisting.’ Along with a lot of His colleagues, family and friends – of whom one was Karl Barth and the other Martin Niemöller, Bonhoeffer fits the profile of declaring; bearing witness; insisting. He was a martyr. Today, fascist theory might only exist in fringe elements of society, but the style of political activism employed by the Nazi’s isn’t. Rhetoric and labels offer…
Review: Amazon Prime’s, ‘Jack Ryan’, The Rebranding & Forced Conversion of An American Patriot.
Amazon’s ‘Jack Ryan’ is a fresh creative take on Tom Clancy’s, ‘Jack Ryan’ brand. The story has a standard structure. The plot is revealed as characters move from one crisis to the next. Each episode adds to the next, leading to the narrative’s conclusion. Casting was on point. Actor John Krasinski (Jack Ryan) plays alongside Australian actress, Abbie Cornish (Doctor Cathy Mueller who takes up a “casual” romantic relationship with Ryan). Wendell Pierce (Robert Zane in ‘Suits’) plays the role of James Greer. All three add to the series and its fresh creative take on Tom Clancy’s, ‘Jack Ryan’ brand. Amazon has been consistent in the temperaments…
Donald Trump’s “No” to Imperialism
From the start of his candidacy, I’ve considered Donald Trump a diamond in the rough. It’s a working hypothesis that I’ve held onto in the face of an onslaught of fear and dire predictions about his alleged “reign of terror”, a lot of which came from almost everyone I know (theologians and pastors included). Joining the bandwagon condemnation of Trump, in order to spread fear, was always a darkened side-road best left in the rear-view mirror. Minus a few friends and two years on, this hypothesis still stands strong. While I believe that God can transform, and still is in…
U.S. Army base sees more than 1,800 soldiers turn to Christ in less than six months.
A U.S. Army base in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri has seen more than 1,800 soldiers come to faith in Jesus Christ in less than six months. Fort Leonard Wood military Chaplain (Capt.) Jose Rondon said, “Since March 11 2018, we have seen 1,839 Soldiers coming to Christ. God’s doing an unbelievable work through our military at Fort Leonard Wood, MO.” Retired Major General Doug Carver, executive director of chaplaincy for the North American Mission Board, has told the Baptist Press, troops are increasingly hungry for truth and relevancy in their lives. “The current spiritual awakening at Fort Leonard Wood is…
Greens leader Richard DiNatale says we need to change our constitution: ‘Section 44 is outdated, it’s a relic of the past’
Leader of the Greens Party, Richard DiNatale appeared on Sky News to discuss changing Section 44 of the constitution. Section 44 sets out restrictions on who can be a candidate for Federal parliament. DiNatale explains: “There is this sort of inconvenient document that governs everything that we do called the Australian constitution… What’s got to happen now is absolutely crystal clear. We’re a modern multicultural nation. We need to change our constitution and make sure that everybody has the right to stand in our nation’s parliament. Section 44 is outdated, it’s a relic of the past…” Watch: .@RichardDiNatale on changing…
The ingratitude of Muslim activist, Yassmin Abdel-Magied
Muslim activist, Yassmin Abdel-Magied, was born in Khartoum, Sudan. After an Islamic military coup overthrew the government, Yassmin and her family fled to the safety of Australia. Since moving to Australia, Yassmin has found freedom, wealth, “fame,” and success. All of these, of course, were graciously secured for her through the selfless sacrifices of our Anzac heroes. Yet in a display of incredible ingratitude, Yassmin now maintains her “fame” by disrespecting, not the violent, Islamic country she fled, but the country that accepted her, and that now grants her all the freedoms she has. Last year Yassmin copped criticism after…
Has Donald Trump just proposed the best solution to school shootings?
President Donald Trump has taken to Twitter to put forward, what some believe, could be the most realistic solution to mass shootings in U.S. schools. So what do you think? Is this the best solution or is there a better one? I never said “give teachers guns” like was stated on Fake News @CNN & @NBC. What I said was to look at the possibility of giving “concealed guns to gun adept teachers with military or special training experience – only the best. 20% of teachers, a lot, would now be able to — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 22,…
LGBTQI people already had the right to marry
The debate regarding Same-Sex Marriage is often framed with the language of “equality” and “human rights.” It’s argued, if some can exercise their right to marry, then why not all? Why is marriage a privilege only granted to some? Isn’t that discrimination? In the following clip, Voddie Baucham explains: Here’s [their] reasoning: Homosexuals have the right to marry; they do not desire to exercise the right as it currently exists; therefore, they do not have the right and the law must be changed… How about we change the first line? Pacifists have the right to join the military; they do…
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%…

Transgender activist wants compulsory gender-neutral toilets
All they seem to talk about is genitals, sexuality, toilets, and educating your children. And it’s creepy! Now, the Daily Mail reports: Norrie, a 56 year old, transgender activist, wants “gender-neutral toilets introduced at all major venues across Australia.” Norrie, who was born a man but identifies as neither a man nor a woman, told Daily Mail: “Every now and again, maybe once in a hundred times now, nowadays I walk into the ladies’ loos and someone wants to pick a fight with my gender… My plumbing is nobody’s business really even when I’m in the toilet.” During the 2017 Marriage Equality…
Safe Schools in every school, public and private: “It didn’t start with marriage, and it won’t end with marriage…”
We’re told, it didn’t start with marriage and it won’t end with marriage, and neither should our efforts to protect our children. Marriage Equality Rally, Sydney 2017: “We are on the verge of winning this, and then we can pour our energy into other pressing things, like making sure transgender rights in the military are not rolled back, and that Safe Schools becomes a reality for all school children, in every state, public or private schools. It didn’t start with marriage, and it won’t end with marriage – but still, what a sweet celebration that promises to be.”
