FRESH APPROACH TO FAMILIAR EVIDENCE: Liberty University Philosophy Professor Dr. Gary Habermas asks a simple question: Why was Paul-ne-Saul so angry with Christians in the months following Jesus’ crucifixion and claimed Resurrection that he was willing to go great distances to arrest, jail and condemn them?
What Habermas offers by way of answers amounts to a fresh approach to the mountains of familiar evidence about the Resurrection, the Gospels and the earliest church, as he explains this morning on HillFaith. And it presents new challenges for those who claim the Resurrection was a later invention years after the execution.

KOWTOW: GOP senators want answers on DOJ decision to kill program to catch Chinese spies. “Led by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), the lawmakers penned a letter to Garland last week inquiring about the recent termination of the so-called China Initiative, which was launched by the Trump administration in 2018 to preserve America’s technological edge. The program was specifically designed to identify and prosecute those engaged in hacking, stealing trade secrets, and conducting economic espionage for the Chinese government inside the U.S.”

Stacey Lennox: What Role do Demographics in Russia and China Play in Escalating Global Conflict? “Conquering new populations might be a form of survival for these authoritarian regimes. In the next decade or two, both China and Russia will face severe demographic holes that will impact productivity and financial health in the near term. Adding population may be the only way they can keep their economies viable.”
Matt Margolis: The Left’s Never-ending Obsession With Impeachment. “Democrats can’t stand losing at the ballot box, and they want revenge when they do. With Trump, it was impeachment. As for Republicans who questioned the results of the 2020 election, Democrats have been suing to disqualify them from being able to run for office. Now, the next frontier has become ousting Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in the hopes of giving Joe Biden a second pick before the 2022 midterms.”

RHETORIC VS REALITY: Biden’s Commitment For US LNG To Supply Europe Faces Strong Headwinds.
While committing the US to help Germany and other European nations wean themselves off of Russian natural gas seems to be a noble goal, there is just one problem: The President apparently didn’t talk the US LNG industry about it before he made the agreement. Reading the quotes from executives at Tellurian in the New York Times article linked here, it is apparent that they were caught off-guard by the President’s announcement. “I have no idea how they are going to do this, but I don’t want to criticize them, because for the first time they are trying to do the right thing,” said Charif Souki, the Times quotes executive chairman of Tellurian as saying.
Like every other industry in the United States, U.S. LNG is a private enterprise made up of an array of competing companies that operate in a capitalist, free market system. Given that reality, we are left to wonder how the President and his senior advisors plan to go about ensuring that the US meets the promises the President made in the agreement with the European Union? Does he plan to order his regulators to streamline permitting processes? Does he plan to somehow order banks and ESG investor groups to stop denying capital to companies in the industry, capital needed to fund their $10 billion LNG export facilities?
No, Biden planned to say something that would play well on TV.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG: New report: 255,000 ‘excess votes’ for Biden in six key 2020 states. “A new deep dive into discrepancies in the ballot counts of six key battleground states in the 2020 election has turned up more than 250,000 ‘excess votes’ for President Joe Biden, and maybe far more.”
I’m told that one reason Youngkin won in Virginia was that Republicans there maintained a full-court press on polling places and counting centers to deter fraud. That needs to happen everywhere.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Media’s ‘Reaganesque’ Biden Spin Is WAY Too Much to Stomach. “I’ve had it with the Biden water carriers in the mainstream media. OK, I know I am always in various states of ‘had it’ with them but the you-know-what covering the flying monkeys in the mainstream media have been doing since the speech President LOLEightyOneMillion gave in my ancestral homeland Poland last week has been a bit rough even on my cast-iron stomach.”

THE PROCESS IS THE PUNISHMENT: Biden’s Red Queen Justice: The Border Agents Remain Under Investigation Six Months After Debunked Whipping Scandal. “Biden and the media spread a false story based on a misleading picture of mounted agents using a whip to guide his horse. While the Administration promised a conclusion to the investigation within days or weeks, it has continued to refuse to release any results and insists that it remains ‘under investigation.’ The concern is that the Administration does not want to contradict the President who proclaimed the guilt of the agents and promised that they would be punished before they were investigated, let alone adjudicated.”

I’m giving this post the tag ‘stupid’ because of the administration. I don’t think any of the students are stupid. They’re just at the wrong school because a wrong was done to them.”
