The Word not only tells us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge (Psalm 111:10; Proverbs 1:7); it is also says, “The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning a person from the snares of death” (Proverbs 14:27).

The fear of the Lord can save your life, both physically and spiritually.

Moses told the Israelites that the Lord came down on Mount Sinai in fire and thunder so that “His fear would be before you to keep you from sinning” (Exodus 20:20, my translation). And the voice of wisdom in Proverbs says, “To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and duplicity in speech” (Proverbs 8:13).How […]

A Texas federal judge blocked President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness program on Thursday, calling it an “unconstitutional exercise of Congress’s legislative power.”

U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman ruled that the Department of Education’s student loan forgiveness program is illegal following a lawsuit by the Job Creators Network Foundation, which argued the program violated federal procedures because borrowers were not able to comment on the program. The student debt relief program unveiled in August would cancel $10,000 worth of student debt to those making under $125,000 per year.

In October, a federal appeals court temporarily halted the student loan forgiveness program […]

The portion of the U.S. population fully vaccinated against COVID-19 rose from 0% at the outset of 2021 to 63% by the end of the year. Yet, the CDC recently estimated that average U.S. life expectancy fell by 0.9 years in 2021. This is in addition to a 1.8 year decline in 2020 — and contrary to predictions that COVID vaccines could reverse this carnage.

Nevertheless, a New York Times article by Roni Caryn Rabin blames this “historic setback” mainly on a lack of COVID-19 vaccination and not enough “behavioral measures to prevent infections, such as wearing masks,” especially among […]

The United Nations is on the verge of welcoming one of the world’s worst violators of human rights to participate in the opening of the General Assembly’s 77th session. The United States has the power to prevent that criminal from legitimizing his administration and whitewashing his own history, insofar as it can deny Ebrahim Raisi the travel visa he requires to participate in the gathering. If it nonetheless allows the Iranian president to visit the UN headquarters in New York, the U.S. should immediately take measures upon his arrival to demand accountability for his role in past and ongoing […]

Joe Biden gave an historic address last night. Historic in that no U.S. president has ever spoken so slanderously, viciously against his own people.

So slanderous, so libelous, so dangerous was Biden’s labeling of “MAGA Republicans” … namely half the country … as dangers to democracy, a “threat to the soul of this country” one wonders if it rose to the rank of high crime or misdemeanor.

But the address was also truly bizarre. A Chaplinesque Address No, Charlie Chaplin did not come back from the dead to reboot The Great Dictator . It only appeared that way. From the blood-red […]

The District of Columbia does not appear to have a contingency plan for unvaccinated students, who are banned from attending schools in person this fall after the first 20 days, according to comments made by Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser Thursday.

During a press conference, Bowser, a Democrat, admitted there are no alternative options, including virtual learning, for students who cannot attend school due to the District’s vaccine mandate, meaning unvaccinated children will effectively be left without an education.

Over 40% of blacks ages 12–17 are not vaccinated, according to city data. The Daily Signal asked Bowser what the plan was […]

Republican voters in Nevada who watched the Jan. 6 Select Committee hearings labeled them “reprehensible” and “disgusting” while becoming more supportive of former President Donald Trump, NBC News reported Friday.

“It might as well be impeachment No. 3 for Donald Trump,” Judy Cameron, a retiree in Reno and Republican primary voter, told NBC News. “This is their big push to get Donald Trump off the ballot.”

The voters in the swing state instead directed their anger towards the select committee, which reportedly has shifted its focus to persuading the Justice Department to file charges and to make changes to the Electoral […]
