This white bison calf was born Tuesday afternoon in Yellowstone National Park. (Courtesy Erin Braaten) A rare white bison calf was born late Tuesday in Yellowstone National Park. A wildlife photographer originally thought it was a coyote until she looked back and saw the calf. "It was amazing," she said. In a rare event, a white bison calf was born in Yellowstone National Park on Tuesday afternoon. Park visitor and wildlife photographer Erin Braaten was there at just the right time to practically witness the calf’s birth in Yellowstone’s famed and wildlife-rich Lamar Valley. “The afterbirth, the placenta was still...

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall – Proverbs 16:18 This proverb has been until recently, a prophetic warning. In today’s America it is a news item. We are already in a great fall from grace. It raises the question – what will we do about it? Here is what the present administration is doing, along with the medical community, and the rest of sleepy overindulgent America.

I left off the previous post considering what might have happened if Belisarius had accepted the imperial diadem of the Western Empire when it was offered to him at the end of the first war in Italy in AD 540. Could he have remained on the throne? How would Justinian have reacted? Did Belisarius have the diplomatic and administrative skills to manage the Western Empire? Would his men have remained loyal to him and willing to advance his military goals abroad? In a best-case scenario that's perhaps not too far-fetched, the answer is yes, Belisarius could certainly have ruled...

Did the founders create America as “one nation under God” or did they want Christian expression banned from the public square? A recent film seems to promote the latter idea. Dr. Ted Baehr’s MOVIEGUIDE writes: “’Bad Faith’ is a propaganda documentary from the Religious Left, written and directed by a small-time movie producer who happens to be a film and television professor at a Catholic college in Los Angeles.

Every truth is in the Bible, but people have strayed far away from it. Something evil this way comes if this nation refuses to repent and turn back to God. The passage says "everyone"...including the religious leaders. Same in this country. Jeremiah 6:13-14 ‬ [13] “For from the least of them even to the greatest of them, everyone is greedy for gain, And from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely. [14] They have healed the brokenness of My people superficially, Saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ But there is no peace. NASB1995

The majority of Americans are simply hard working folks who live by the rule of “mind your own business.”

Months after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos had the same legal status as children, the nation’s largest Protestant denomination is set to vote on whether to take a stand against in vitro fertilization. Alabama Chief Justice Tom Parker cited verses from the Bible and Christian theologians in his Feb. 16 concurring opinion that sparked national debate and left lawmakers scrambling to keep the state’s in vitro fertilization clinics running. Parker argued that the court was merely enforcing a principle that has “deep roots that reach back to the creation of man ‘in the image of God,’” Parker...

Here is the formatted transcript with proper capitalization, punctuation, and paragraphs added (formatting by Claude.ai): Yeah, even the phrase for Chapter 5, the title of Chapter 5 is called "The Rise of the Materialist Magician." And that phrase "materialist magician," I took from C.S. Lewis's book "The Screwtape Letters." For those that don't know, "The Screwtape Letters" is an epistolary novel that takes the form of a series of letters that this demon Screwtape writes to his nephew demon Wormwood. Wormwood is assigned a person to try to damn to hell, to tempt and to enslave. Wormwood asks Screwtape a...

Famed for her three-pointers, is her talent a true gift from God?Caitlin Clark is known for many things on the basketball court, inspiring dozens of youngsters across the United States, but where does she get her faith and motivation from? Does the 22-year-old have a religion? The answer is yes! The Indiana Fever icon is a Catholic, and a practising one at that too. With the tools to be one of the greatest WNBA players ever, the NCAA record points holder places her faith in Jesus Christ and God Almighty. Clark's Fiery response to opponents' physical play More boldly, Clark...

Pope Francis and Old Joe Biden are two of the towering figures of our times, and that says more about our times than it does about them. The two actually have a lot in common. Both are Roman Catholics, although both have sparked considerable speculation as to whether they are really believers at all. Both have a tendency to say outrageous things that are left to their handlers to do their best to “clarify.” And both are about as far to the left as it is possible to go, as the pontiff affirmed again Sunday with the latest guilt trip...

Dawkins the New Cultural ChristianRichard Dawkins has an endearing habit of rewriting history. For almost four decades, from the mid 1970s onward, he wrote of the human genome as mainly junk. It suited his Darwinism to do so, underscoring how evolution cobbles living forms together opportunistically, and that waste and inefficiencies in the genome are simply part of the messy process that is Darwinian evolution, focused as it is on natural selection acting on random variations. And then in the early 2010s the results of the ENCODE project were announced, showing that hardly any human DNA, and perhaps none of...

Marxist globalism is an evil religion. Perhaps the most startling quality of world leaders today is that they do not believe in much beyond their own wants and needs. Many will feign a belief in God for the sake of appearances, but true believers are hard to find. In the West, where Christianity has shaped society for two thousand years, it is more common to find governments punishing Christians for their faith than to see biblical doctrine defended. Finnish Member of Parliament Päivi Räsänen, a rare Christian politician in our overwhelmingly secular times, has spent the last several years defending...

It's a religion. Always was. X link. "“George Floyd died for each and every one of us. He was God’s chosen vessel.” Things get weird at ASU as they unveil an exhibit in Floyd’s memory." Oh Praise Thee, Most Holy Floyd, Patron Saint of Fentanyl! X links. ..... As it is written in the Holy Book of Floyd: "He was knelt on for our transgressions, he was handcuffed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his overdose we are healed."

Remember the “New Atheists”? They were a big deal 15 or so years ago, bashing irrationality and superstition in bestselling books like “The God Delusion,” “The End of Faith” and “God Is Not Great.” Some of them ultimately ended up as believers, others turned to ayahuasca, and Richard Dawkins recently admitted to being a “cultural Christian.” He still doesn't believe in the big J.C., but acknowledges his worldview was shaped in a Christian context. In a similar way, I've always been a cultural libertarian. A son of the Mountain West, my traditional conservatism is heavily dosed with a “leave me...

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has compared himself to a saint as he doubles down on a 'misogynistic' speech he made saying women are happier as 'homemakers'. The 28-year-old delivered a 20-minute speech last Saturday at the Catholic private liberal arts college in Kansas. In it, he said men should 'fight against the cultural emasculation' and encouraged women to be 'homemakers' instead of working. On Friday night, he doubled down on his remarks, comparing himself to Saint Daniel during another speech at a Regina Caeli Academy event in Nashville, Tennessee. He told the event: 'Over the past few days...

It's a religion. Always was. “George Floyd died for each and every one of us. He was God’s chosen vessel.” Things get weird at ASU as they unveil an exhibit in Floyd’s memory. Oh Praise Thee, Most Holy Floyd, Patron Saint of Fentanyl! In the past, godly men and women were chosen to be honored by church leaders for their close walk with Jesus Christ. They healed the sick, defied tyrants, modeled virtue, traveled over land and sea to reach the lost, and helped the poor and oppressed. But today, in the Year of Our Floyd 4, we honor violent...

Cuillandre (CEA Paris-Saclay)) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Euclid satellite mission has dispatched its first collection of scientific imagery, revealing a dazzling display of orphan stars numbering in the billions amidst the Perseus cluster of galaxies. 240 million light-years away, the Perseus cluster represents one of the most massive structures known to astronomers. Amidst its thousands of galaxies, Euclid was successfully able to discern the faint light emitted by orphan stars dispersed throughout the cluster. The new effort, led by astronomers from the University of Nottingham, has provided potentially crucial new information...

Anglo-Catholicism, movement that emphasizes the Catholic rather than the Protestant heritage of the Anglican Communion. It was an outgrowth of the 19th-century Oxford Movement (q.v.), which sought to renew Catholic thought and practice in the Church of England. The term Anglo-Catholic was first used in some of the writings of leaders of the Oxford Movement who wished to demonstrate the historical continuity of the English (Anglican) Church with Catholic Christianity.

It’s curious that, as parents around the country unite against the wicked “trans” agenda directed toward our kids, quite a few are willing to accommodate homosexual identities. “I have no problem with someone who’s gay,” I heard one mom say. “It’s the gender mutilation that we need to fight.” Agreed, that needs to stop, but doesn’t she understand that the fight to normalize “LG” and “B” is where the push for “T” began? They are intimately connected and that’s why they stand in unity: “LGBTQ.”
