The American Revolution was the first step in a global upheaval that would do away with a system called monarchy, creating a new world of equality and freedom. On paper this sounds about perfect, n’est-ce pas, as our French friends say, but in actual fact a few years later the Haitians revolted and massacred the ones who didn’t agree with the revolutionaries, appalling democrats the Western world over. The French chopping off the heads of all people who knew which fork and knife to use at the table did not help democracy either. Nasty and bitter partisan elections have followed right here in these United States, not to mention South

The greatest lessons taught by mankind's history are any nation that embraces mendacity is destined to fail, and the Truth will set you free. Lies tie people into knots, and Satan is the Prince of Lies. The lamestream press have become Lucifer's handmaidens, but the Angels of Truth are greater in number. A prayerful nation will honor the Truth, and show mendacity the door. The greatest way we can support President Trump, and all those fighting for MAGA, is through prayer...constant prayer. It will prepare us for when we meet the enemy, whether at home, work or school. It is the Left that makes "the personal political". We cannot be afraid, but boldly refute even the most casual of comments in a manner befitting civilized people. Not only does the USA need a thorough house-cleaning, but the entire so-called "advanced" West.

From the article: "Here’s what these bums posing as truth tellers did for us lately: denounced anyone sympathetic to Trump as a racist, bigot, or fascist." Sadly, the media didn't even have to present facts, either. In the 2016 election, Billy Bush was able to play a recorded video clip of Donald Trump. Everyone believed it. Even Beth Moore. When I finish reading an article by her alluding to her believing everything with the Billy Bush recording, I am flabbergasted that she doesn't check out the facts. Of course, there seem to be justice after the 2024 election. Billy Bush admitted he edited the tape to accomplish what he wanted. I firmly believe that is the goal of the media and that is to manipulate minds. To me it isn't just bad press, it is a pathetic press.

#4-There is no definitive evidence that Billy Bush admitted to editing the 2005 *Access Hollywood* tape involving Donald Trump to achieve a specific outcome in 2016. The claim appears to stem from speculation or misinterpretation of events surrounding the tape's release, but available sources do not support it. The *Access Hollywood* tape, which captured Trump making lewd comments about women, was recorded in 2005 and leaked to *The Washington Post* in October 2016. According to reports, NBC, which owned *Access Hollywood*, considered editing the tape to minimize Billy Bush's role due to his position as a *Today* show host, but ultimately did not alter it. *The Washington Post* published the unedited footage, and NBC denied any intention to edit the tape.[](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/10/11/editing-billy-bush-out-of-donald-trumps-vulgar-video-could-have-been-a-total-disaster/) Billy Bush has consistently maintained that the tape was authentic and that Trump's voice and comments were genuine. In a 2017 *New York Times* op-ed, Bush wrote, "Of course he said it," referring to Trump's remarks, and noted that he and others on the bus assumed Trump was exaggerating for effect. In interviews, such as one with *CBS This Morning* in 2019, Bush described the tape as "weaponized" for political purposes but did not claim responsibility for editing it. Instead, he suggested that NBC was aware of the tape before its release and that its rapid leak caught him off guard.[](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/03/opinion/billy-bush-trump-access-hollywood-tape.html)[](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/billy-bush-reaffirms-trump-s-access-hollywood-comments-are-real-n826146)[](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/billy-bush-says-trump-access-hollywood-video-was-weaponized-1238226/) In a 2025 podcast with Tucker Carlson, Bush discussed how the tape was initially "buried" at *Access Hollywood* because Trump was a valuable asset to NBC, but he did not admit to editing it himself. He stated that had the tape leaked in 2005, it would have led to consequences for him and others involved.[](https://www.yahoo.com/news/real-reason-cover-trump-access-170140576.html) Without concrete evidence, such as a direct admission from Bush or credible documentation of editing, the claim that he admitted to editing the tape to accomplish a specific goal in 2016 cannot be verified and should be considered false based on available information. If you have a specific source or quote in mind, please provide it, and I can investigate further.

#5 etc, who cares? Is it a surprise that lying, filthy, rats twist and scream any lie, any word to manipulate the morons among us? Is it news to anyone that some women are gold diggers 24/7 and will do ANYTHING to attract and trap any man with money? Billy Bush is creepy, just like every Bush and their women. NBC is pure left propaganda and any dope who is offended by the blunt truth mentioned by Trump in a private conversation, is a happy willfully ignorant fool.

In 2021, a Syrian Muslim gunman opened fire at a Boulder supermarket killing ten Americans. Ahmad Al-Issa, the gunman, had been convinced that Americans were ‘Islamophobic’ and his family had moved from what would become the ISIS capital in Syria. The Al-Issa family lived in Arvada, a refugee sanctuary city near Boulder that had also previously produced Shannon Conley, an American convert to Islam who tried to join ISIS and scouted a local church. Boulder authorities blamed gun violence and mental illness. Now, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian Muslim, set elderly Jews on fire at a march to free hostages held by the Hamas terrorists whom he supported, while shouting “Free Palestine”.

William Sullivan’s essay regarding scientific atheism is intriguing and enlightening. It got me thinking about a very simple proof for a Creator. The atheist loves to proclaim, “There is no scientific proof of the existence of God!” This is true, since by “scientific” proof, the atheist means “empirical” proof, and there is no empirical proof of anything. However, it is quite easy to use logic to prove in easy steps that God exists and that He is the God of the Bible. 1. Every existing thing either is or is not existentially dependent upon the action of other beings. Those beings that are existentially dependent are called “contingent.” A being that is not

Immediately following the Hamas atrocities in Israel on October 7, key media outlets played a significant role in fomenting antisemitism, bruiting blood libels against Israel and those who support her. Last week, the same week Jews were firebombed in Boulder, Colorado, some publications seem to have by design or bias aided Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. Background There is no “genocide” in Gaza. “Gaza genocide” is a lie, and the people spreading that lie are partially responsible for the crimes these three men committed.

We have followed (here and here) the story of the Champlin Park, Minnesota girls’ softball team, which was powering its way to the state title game behind the heroics of a six-foot tall pitcher who, until age nine, was named Charles. Charles became a girl, Marissa, and Champlin Park became state champion last night, behind yet another shutout performance by its star fastballer, Marissa Rothenberger. The linked Star Tribune story says nothing about the controversy over Rothenberger’s participation in girls’ sports: While the Rebels were building their lead, junior pitcher Marissa Rothenberger was shutting down the Jefferson hitters.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out operations at businesses across Los Angeles on Friday, sparking protests and clashes outside at least one location, which resulted in authorities throwing flash bangs in an effort to disperse the crowd. The Associated Press reported that immigration advocates confirmed nearly 45 people were arrested across seven locations. The locations included two Home Depot stores, a store in the fashion district and a doughnut shop, according to Angelica Salas, the executive director of the Coalition of Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), who spoke at an afternoon news conference to denounce the actions.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California lawmakers this week advanced several efforts aimed at reining in utility profits and slashing electricity bills as part of their agenda to tackle the sky-high costs of living. The proposals would make sweeping changes to how utilities fund expensive infrastructure projects like putting power lines underground to guard against wildfires. They also would add more oversight around wildfire mitigation spending and put new requirements on utility requests to increase rates. Supporters said the goal is to make the big investor-owned utilities start sharing some of the costs to fight wildfires and build new transmission infrastructure. “This

President Trump is boosting supersonic aviation in the United States. An executive order the commander in chief signed Friday directs the Federal Aviation Administration to repeal a 1973 rule prohibiting overland supersonic flight, establish new noise standards for aircraft and remove other regulations that get in the way of the development of high-speed planes. “The United States stands at the threshold of a bold new chapter in aerospace innovation,” the president wrote in the order. “For more than 50 years, outdated and overly restrictive regulations have grounded the promise of supersonic flight over land, stifling American ingenuity, weakening our global competitiveness, and ceding leadership to foreign adversaries.”
