Mark 2:17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
This video is based on the Pacific Garden Mission’s radio program Unshackled. This story is about Georgia who as a child was abused and failed terribly to thrive as an adult. She turned to crime but was caught and spent time in jail. Upon her release she learns a lesson that redirected her to the true path of freedom found only in the Lord Jesus Christ. I trust you have found that same freedom.
John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Romans 10:9-11 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Matthew 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
‘Over the weekend, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America became the first mainline Protestant denomination to elect a transgender bishop.
The Rev. Dr. Megan Rohrer, who was born female but now identifies as male, using the pronouns “he” and “they,” was elected Saturday, May 8, to serve as bishop of the Sierra Pacific Synod of the ELCA.
Rohrer was approved by 209 votes, barely surpassing the Rev. Jeff Johnson, pastor of University Lutheran Chapel of Berkeley, who received 207 votes, according to a press release from the denomination.
The transgender pastor, currently leading Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church in San Francisco, will be installed as bishop Sept. 11 at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Walnut Creek, California.
I remember as a young man listening to anti-communist Billy James Hargis. Many, many years later I was told Hargis was a sodomite. Whether that was true or not I do not know but what Hargis had said years earlier concerning communism was still true. Well, I say all that because of Dr. Boys’ article on Joe McCarthy. Dr. Boys writes ‘Young and uninformed Americans need to know that Senator Joseph McCarthy, while not perfect, was a true patriot and for sure was not pathetic or paranoid, as painted by the unreliable, leftist media. His main motive in the early 1950s was to remove Communist spies from our government, the military, and Hollywood. He recognized Communists as determined, dedicated, desperate, and dangerous desperados determined to destroy freedom from the face of the earth.
That is not a hyperbolic statement. Moreover, those who give assistance, defense, and comfort to Communists—whether they are called useful idiots, dupes, fellow travelers, liberals, or progressives—are also evildoers who should be vigorously exposed and removed from positions of influence. I would go further than McCarthy and forbid any Communist from teaching school at any level.
I believe in academic freedom, but I don’t believe in suicide and to finance your own demise is sad, stupid, and suicidal. Not very smart.
Co-existence with Communists is as stupid and hopeless as trying to coexist with cancer.
Before McCarthy started making huge waves, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg had been arrested on June 17, 1950, for stealing atomic bomb secrets for the Soviets. They were convicted in March and executed in June of 1953, so Americans knew there were traitors among us. Additionally, the House Un-American Activities Committee started looking for spies among us as early as 1946.
That was too late since a cadre of traitors was already ensconced in very high places.
McCarthy hired Roy Cohn, a young, aggressive attorney, as chief counsel who went after the witnesses with such fervor that it often hurt the cause. Earlier, Cohn had a significant part in the 1951 spy trial of the Rosenbergs. Cohn’s interrogation of David Greenglass, Ethel’s brother, resulted in the Rosenbergs’ conviction and execution on June 19, 1953, at Sing Sing prison. David, to save himself, threw his sister under the bus or, more correctly, into the electric chair.
Cohn was a closet homosexual, which was used against him and McCarthy, although that issue stayed beneath the surface most of the time. Cohn declared vehemently to his dying day that he was “not gay.” He died of AIDS in 1986 after an incredibly defiant, destructive, and decadent life. In retrospect, it is common knowledge that Cohn was the queerest of the queer.
Interestingly, when the leftist media went after McCarthy by going after Cohn, I defended Cohn and McCarthy in my 1983 book, Is God a Right Winger? in a chapter titled, “Was Senator Joe McCarthy a Friend or Foe of Freedom?”
In defending Cohn and McCarthy, I wrote, “Yes, they spoke of him [McCarthy] in admiration and anger, in delight and disdain, in respect and revulsion. Especially in America, the people chose sides. Some people said that they were against Communists, but they did not like McCarthy’s methods. (But that was only a ‘red herring.’) They did not like his target—the exposure of the Communist menace and the culpability of fellow travelers, Liberals, and Socialists.”
Every word in the chapter has proved to be accurate, and I stand by every word. I was wrong in denying Cohn’s perversion but right in that it had not been confirmed, and no one should be so charged without a confession or conviction.
Cohn hired G. David Schine, a strong anti-Communist, to join McCarthy’s staff as a consultant. There were unsupported charges that Cohn and Schine were “lovers,” a charge that was not proven. In 1953, Schine was drafted into the U.S. Army, and Cohn pulled all the strings to get special treatment for him. He foolishly pressured the Secretary of the Army and Schine’s company commander to get him light duties and exemption from deployment overseas. Cohn even threatened to “wreck the Army” if he did not get his way.
Not too smart.
That conflict and McCarthy’s charge of Communists in the Defense Department led to the Army–McCarthy hearings of 1954. The Army accused Cohn and McCarthy of using illegal pressure to get Schine special treatment. McCarthy and Cohn replied that the Army held Schine “hostage” and tried to derail McCarthy’s investigations into Communists in the Army.
During those hearings on June 9, 1954, McCarthy suggested Frederick G. Fisher, a young associate in the law firm of Joseph Welch (chief counsel for the Army), was a long-time member of the National Lawyers Guild that was “a legal arm of the Communist Party.” And everyone knew that was true beyond a doubt; however, Welch feigned shock, sorrow, and surprise and playing his part expertly said, “Let us not assassinate this lad further, Senator. You’ve done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”
Naïve Americans swallowed the line along with the sinker and hook. It sounded so principled, but it was Welch playing to the gallery of the gullible. He had developed his acting ability in the 1947 television series, the Kraft Theatre. And his acting was superb, as displayed in his feigned anger and hurt. He should have received an Academy Award.
Welch’s reaction was to suggest that McCarthy had carelessly and callously outed an innocent “lad” as a Communist (since he belonged to a Communist front). Still, Welch knew that The New York Times had already outed him a few weeks earlier. So, the much-discussed retort by Welsh was much about nothing. However, it does show the hypocrisy of the leftist media: it was a despicable thing for McCarthy to expose the “lad,” but not for the Times to do so earlier.
Welch dropped his head after his famous retort and walked into the corridor, where he managed to weep copious tears for the reporters. Leftists keep tears close to the surface to use during such times. The following day, major newspapers across the nation published Welch’s tear-streaked face on the front pages.
Much can be charged against McCarthy, but he was not a hypocrite, as was Welch.
In all his public and private hearings, McCarthy made a valiant effort to identify Communists and their sympathizers in the U.S. Government and the military. He refused to call names of the purported spies since they had not admitted guilt or proved to be Communist spies during a trial. Senator McCarthy wanted Communists out of high and essential positions not placed in prison as the left often asserts. He wanted traitorous spies in prison.
McCarthy’s enemies in the Senate demanded he produce the names of all the alleged spies in government positions, but he was extremely reluctant to do so. He did not want to reveal suspects’ names until their guilt had been admitted or proved. However, the leftists and the soft-on-Communism crowd didn’t care and insisted McCarthy “name names.”
The radical leftists and stupid sympathizers came down hard on Joe, accusing him of everything, trying to turn everyone against him. They were virulent, vicious, and vile in their personal attacks on him and his motives. Liberals provided a public message: the third rail of politics is— don’t reveal the leftists as the enemies of nationalism, freedom, personal initiative, free enterprise, honesty, and decency.
The Senator’s statement that did him in was, “[C]o-existence with Communists is neither possible nor honorable nor desirable. Our long-term objective must be the eradication of Communism from the face of the earth.” He made it worse by saying, “[Y]ou cannot offer friendship to tyrants and murderers . . . without advancing the cause of tyranny and murder.”
That did it. McCarthy had touched the deadly third rail of politics. Don’t go after the leftists and reveal their dirty, dark, deceptive, and destructive side.
It is the same in 2021. Don’t name names and identify the far left lowlifes in the media, Hollywood, and politicians as anti-American, anti-freedom, and anti-commonsense. To do so might invite the appalling charge of white supremacy.
Senator McCarthy thought Americans who spied for our enemies should not have the privilege of working in sensitive government positions or serve in the military. And traitors should be hanged.
FAKE ‘President Biden recently announced ambitious plans to install huge offshore industrial wind facilities along America’s Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Pacific coasts. His goal is to churn out 30 gigawatts (30,000 megawatts) of wind capacity by 2030, ensuring the U.S. “leads by example” in fighting the “climate crisis.”
Granted “30 by 2030” is clever PR. But what are the realities?
The only existing U.S. offshore wind operation features five 6-MW turbines off Rhode Island. Their combined capacity (what they could generate if they worked full-bore, round the clock 24/7) is 30 MW. Mr. Biden is planning 1,000 times more offshore electricity, perhaps split three ways: 10,000 MW for each coast.
While that might sound impressive, it isn’t. It means total wind capacity for the entire Atlantic coast, under Biden’s plan, would only meet three-fourths of the peak summertime electricity needed to power New York City. Again, this assumes the blades are fully spinning 24/7. In reality, such turbines would be lucky to be operating a top capacity half the time. Even less as storms and salt spray corrode the turbines, year after year.
The reason why is there is often minimal or no wind in the Atlantic – especially on the hottest days. Ditto for the Gulf of Mexico. No wind means no electricity – right when you need it most.
Of course, too little wind isn’t the only issue. Other times, there’s too much wind – as when a hurricane roars up the coast. That’s more likely in the Gulf of Mexico. But the Great Atlantic Hurricane of 1944 had Category 4 winds in Virginia, Category 3 intensity off Cape Hatteras (NC), Long Island and Rhode Island, and Category 2 when it reached Maine. It sank four U.S. Navy and Coast Guard ships.
When storms or hurricanes hit, turbines can be destroyed. Repairing or replacing hundreds of offshore turbines could take years.
If the White House is planning to generate all that power using common 6-MW turbines, our coastlines would need a hefty 5,000 of the 600-foot tall monsters dotting them. The Washington Monument is 655 feet tall.
Going instead with 12-MW turbines, like the 850-foot-tall GE Haliade-X turbines Virginia is planning to install off its coast, America would still need 2,500 of the behemoths – just to complete Phase One of Biden’s plan. 30,000 megawatts by 2030. Even if these were all plopped in the Atlantic, it still would not be enough to meet New York State’s current electricity needs.
And what about the environment?
How many millions of tons of steel, copper, lithium, cobalt, rare earth elements, concrete, petroleum-based composites (for turbine blades) and other raw materials would be required to manufacture and install the turbines and undersea electrical cables, especially where deep-water turbines are involved?
How many billions of tons of ore would have to be mined, crushed, processed and refined – considering that it takes 125,000 tons of average ore for every 1,000 tons of pure copper metal?
Not only would nearly all of this mining and manufacturing require fossil fuels, but much of it would be done in China, or in other countries by Chinese-owned companies. Haliade-X turbines are also manufactured in China. And much of the mining and processing is done under horrid workplace safety and environmental conditions, often with near-slave and child labor.
More turbines will also kill countless birds and bats. Turbine infrasound and other noise have been implicated in disorienting and stranding whales and dolphins. The numbers, height and low-frequency turbine noise also interferes with surface ships, submarines, aircraft and radar.
Nuclear power or billions of batteries (or retained fossil fuel power plants) will have to back up every megawatt of intermittent, unreliable wind power, so that society can function every time the wind fails. That means more raw materials, transmission lines and costs.
Even with massive taxpayer subsidies, electricity generated by offshore turbines will cost many times what we are paying today, even in New York and California. That will have especially heavy impacts on energy-intensive industries, hospitals, and poor, middle-class, minority and fixed-income families.
Economic, environmental and climate justice reviews must fully, carefully and honestly assess every one of these factors. No “expedited” or “climate emergency” shortcuts should be permitted.
President Biden likes to say offshore wind energy is clean, green, renewable and sustainable. Wind itself certainly is. But harnessing the wind (or sun), to meet the needs of modern civilization is not – especially in ocean environments.
Claiming otherwise is a mirage – a scam. Maybe that’s why the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management already canceled two wind projects off Long Island. The costs and impacts are enormous, and local opposition was high. Do climate activists in and out of the Biden Administration expect otherwise anywhere else?
‘Contrary to a widespread idea, President Biden does not intend to guarantee “equality in Law” of all Americans without distinction of race. On the contrary, he intends to be the champion of “racial equity”, that is to say a form of equality between, not individuals, but what he considers as distinct racial groups. In this article, Thierry Meyssan will use the term “racism” in its literal sense and not in the common sense of “discriminatory behavior”. He will show that by announcing their intention to extend “racial equity” to the whole world, President Biden and the Democratic Party are threatening world peace.
President Biden’s top priority is to impose the ideology of the “1619 Project” on US society and the world.
In a federal state, somewhere in the world, the Department of Education decided to teach in primary and secondary schools that humanity is divided into distinct races.
Although these races are distinct, it is possible to mate them and give birth to children. However, these children will be sterile, like the mules of a donkey and a mare. This is why federal government statistics include whites, blacks, etc., but no mixed-race children.
Since there is an implicit hierarchy between these distinct races and, unfortunately, half-breeds are not sterile, they are automatically counted as belonging to the inferior race. The superior race must be preserved from all defilement.
This federal state was the Nazi Reich, but it is also the United States of Joe Biden and his Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona.
We are witnessing the return of the “scientific racism” that caused the Second World War and its 70 million deaths. No one seems to be aware of the danger, however, and many people think that the U.S. Democrats are examples of openness to others.
Let us remember that the racism of the 1930s had all the trappings of science. It was researched in many scientific institutes and taught in universities in both the United States and Western Europe. To preserve the master race, many “modern” states had banned interracial marriages before World War I.
Racism is neither of the right nor of the left
In the collective imagination, racism would only develop in right-wing nationalist circles. This is absolutely false.
For example, at the end of the First World War, France occupied the Ruhr coal region militarily. Among the troops were Africans from Senegal and Madagascar for two years. Soon a protest movement developed in Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada to denounce the ignominy of the French who placed 20,000 blacks to dominate the German whites and rape their women. This racist movement was led by the main anti-racist figure of the beginning of the century, E. D. Morel [1], and gathered all the international feminist organizations in large demonstrations [2].
In France itself, socialists joined this racist movement, including Karl Marx’s grandson, Jean Longuet, a journalist at L’Humanité and future leader of the SFIO (Socialist Party).
It must be admitted that, in troubled times like the interwar period or the one we are living today, people follow their impulses whatever their ideas. They are often in complete contradiction with themselves and do not realize it.
Democratic President Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921) was the designer of the League of Nations, the predecessor of the United Nations. He favored the Klu Klux Klan within his party and established racial segregation.
The slavery and racist past of the American Democrats
In the United States, slavery and racism were mostly defended by the Democrats against the Republicans.
The Democratic Party platforms of 1840, 1844, 1848, 1852 and 1856 asserted that abolitionism diminished the happiness of the people and endangered the stability and permanence of the Union. The 1856 program declared that the member states of the Union may or may not practice domestic slavery and write it into their constitutions. The 1860 program describes the efforts of abolitionist states that refused to arrest runaway slaves as subversive and revolutionary. The 14th Amendment granting full citizenship to freed slaves was passed in 1868 by 94% of Republican Party legislators and 0% of Democratic Party The 15th Amendment, which granted the right to vote to freed slaves, was adopted in 1870 by 100% of the members of the Republican Party and 0% of the members of the Democratic Party In 1902, the Democratic Party passed a law in Virginia removing the right to vote from over 90% of African Americans. President Woodrow Wilson instituted racial segregation of federal employees and mandated a photo on every job application. The 1924 Democratic National Convention at Madison Square Garden in New York City was called the “Klan-Bake” because of the influence of the Ku Klux Klan in the party.
Things did not really change until 1964, when, just after the Kennedys’ efforts, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law. This was a painful turnaround, as Democratic lawmakers managed to block the legislation for 75 days.
The “1619 Project” is an operation of the New York Times Magazine. It aims to rewrite American history.
The “1619 Project
The Biden administration claims to be anti-racist and no one doubts its good faith. But it is so in the manner of the Democratic Party of the years 1840-1961. That is, in practice, not at all. Quite the contrary.
Its educational decisions are designed to promote the ideology of the « 1619 Project ». According to this ideology, the United States was not founded by the War of Independence against the British Crown, but more than two centuries earlier, in 1619, with the idea of enslaving black people.
The “1619 Project” was marked by a series of supplements and then dedicated articles in the New York Times since 2019. In doing so, this daily newspaper has moved from trying to report the truth to becoming a propaganda tool for Puritan ideology. According to the NY Times, Native Americans were slavers like the Europeans. However, the Spaniards freed the Amerindian slaves who fled their masters on the condition that they converted to the true faith, Catholicism. In the end, the European colonies in the Americas only really developed after the arrival of black slaves from Angola on the territory of the current USA, in 1619. The War of Independence was not against the unjust taxes of the British Crown, but to preserve the slave system. This is why the United States is systemically racist. It is the duty of every white man to realize the undue privilege he enjoys and to redress the crimes of white patriarchy.
This theory does not rise from history [3]. It mixes slavery and racism (for example, Native Americans enslaved their enemies, but they were not racist). It ignores white slaves (among the first slaves in North America were Englishmen who were convicted by the courts). It despises the emancipation of the colonists from England. Finally, it was not the United States, but the Portuguese who brought slavery to the colonists and traded it. Moreover, this theory is American-centric and ignores the slavery of blacks and their systematic castration by the Arabs for a thousand years.
This theory is religious. It takes up the myth of original sin, which it transforms, and for which it makes every white man responsible. Like the iconoclasts, the Puritans or the Wahhabites, its supporters destroy the impure representations of those who have sinned, starting with the Southern generals.
Each lie begets a new one. Indeed, the Southerners were not defending slavery (which they abolished before the end of the Civil War), but the right of each Confederate state to have its own customs.
The supporters of the “1619 Project” acted exactly like what they intended to fight: men were no longer guilty for what they did, but at birth, by heredity.
Joe Biden’s institutionalization of racism
When the Biden administration’s Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona, decided to promote the “1619 Project” in elementary and secondary schools, there was a nationwide protest.
The most interesting reaction was in Oklahoma. The local Congress passed a bill, which was immediately signed into law by Governor Kevin Stitt. The latter is a Cherokee Indian and a Jacksonian like Donald Trump [4]. This law, HB 1775 (download the text at the bottom of this page), prohibits anyone from teaching the following eight racist propositions:
1. one race or gender is inherently superior to another race or gender. 2. an individual, because of his or her race or gender, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, consciously or unconsciously. 3. a person should be discriminated against or treated adversely solely or in part because of his or her race or gender, 4. members of one race or gender cannot and should not attempt to treat others without regard to their race or gender. 5. the moral character of an individual is necessarily determined by his or her race or sex. 6. an individual, because of his or her race or gender, bears responsibility for the past actions of other members of the same race or gender. 7. any individual should feel discomfort, guilt, anxiety, or any other form of psychological distress because of their race or gender. 8. meritocracy or traits such as a hard work ethic are racist or sexist or have been created by members of a particular race to oppress members of another race.
The legislation banning the teaching of all or parts of these eight propositions in Oklahoma schools was passed by 100% of Republican lawmakers and 0% of Democratic lawmakers.
We must measure the consequences of the “1619 Project” ideology that the Democratic Party and the Biden Administration intend not only to apply in the United States, but to spread throughout the world. It can only lead to massive violence.

The Hollow man who is Australia’s ‘…Prime Minister has issued a stern warning to Australians about tensions in the Middle East after a woman was arrested for allegedly burning the Israeli flag during protests in Sydney.
Police allege the woman was spotted walking down a busy street while carrying a burning flag after officers were alerted to an unauthorised protest involving about 200 people on The Boulevarde in Lakemba on Tuesday night.
It comes as violence flared between Israel and Palestine, with the death toll rising.

The woman was allegedly seen waving the flag as she walked down the street.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has urged people not to “import” the Middle East conflict into Australia.
“Of course, we’re all very concerned for what’s happening there,” he told 2GB radio on Thursday.
“We’ve been urging restraint from all parties involved there to not take any unilateral action on those very stressful and tense situations that we’re finding there.
“But those things should not be played out here in Australia. We’re a peaceful country, we believe in a two-state solution … we want to ensure that people live in this country with tolerance and respect.
“We do not want to import the troubles of other parts of the world into this country.”

Police intervened as the woman walked down the street.
Police said officers were conducting patrols during Ramadan when they became aware of the protest, then liaised with the organiser to “assist with the safe facilitation of the demonstration”.
“About 9.30pm, police observed a woman walking down the street through traffic and holding an Israeli flag that was on fire,” police said in a statement.
“The flag was removed from her possession and as it was being extinguished, the woman ran from police.
“She was detained a short time later and was spoken to by police before being issued a move-on direction.
“A large crowd had gathered but remained compliant and dispersed a short time later.”
The 48-year-old woman has been issued with a court attendance notice for allegedly behaving in an offensive manner in a public place and wilfully preventing free passage of person or vehicle.
Lakemba is a Muslim Sydney hotspot and those who live there are sometimes above the law. If this woman gets more than a slap on the wrist it will be surprising.
It isn’t a surprise that Bill Nye believes in the Climate scam. However, what does Bill think of those dim wits that do not? ‘The only definitive way to see significant action to prevent climate change is to simply wait for deniers and contrarians to “age out,” according to Nye.
Yep, that’s right! if you deny what these climate scammers are pushing and you aren’t dead then you should be.
I know Bill will not read this blog or the following verse but he should. Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. This was a promise from the Creator Himself after the most dramatic change of climate in history, the world-wide flood!
