1) “Making Inauguration Day Personal” (Denny Hartford, Vital Signs Blog)
From the article — No, the new president is not a perfect example of leadership. Until the government is on the shoulders of Jesus, that will always be the case. Nevertheless. President Trump’s experience, convictions, specific proposals, and the team he has assembled around him are more than sufficient to give American Christians hope — hope for a renewal in our nation of law and order, of a respect for God and for religious freedom, and a resurgence of our most noble ideals and principles.
And, by God’s authoritative power and enduring grace, He has brought this day to pass. May President Trump and his administration now make the very most of it. And may you and I pledge to continue in prayer for God’s purposes to be fully realized in and through these men and women.
But can this inauguration day perhaps also serve as an inauguration day for you and me as well? A day where the Lord invests us with a bold new purpose, enacted in practical ways? Of course! So, how about joining hands (as it were) and expressing to our Lord the following common prayer?
2) “Will Democrats Vote for Infanticide Once Again?” (Frank Pavone, LifeNews.com)
From the article — This bill has nothing to do with limiting access to abortion, but it’s precisely the Democrats’ obsession with abortion that explains their opposition to this bill. It’s a terrifying logic: For them, choice prevails over life. The baby in the womb is targeted for death, and death it shall have.
3) “Brussels: Is the Capital of Europe Crumbling Before Our Eyes?” (Drieu Godefridi, Gatestone Institute)
From the article — When President Donald Trump compared Brussels, Belgium to a “hellhole” in 2016, the statement caused quite a stir, especially in Europe, and was treated with that mixture of contempt, ignorance and denial of reality typical of a certain “elite” in the European Union. Trump had made these remarks in the context of discussions on immigration and security, and suggested that Brussels had changed for the worse over the years, mainly as a result of uncontrolled lawless migratory submersion.
While the facts proved him right at the time, it might be said in 2025 that the Lebanonization of Brussels shows that his judgment was visionary.
4) “Her name is Emily Damari: The left will never live down the shame of staying silent on the racist kidnapping of a British Jew.” (Brendan O’Neill, spiked!)
From the article — Her name is Emily Damari. Go and say it to people. Let them know that a British citizen was kidnapped by Hamas and that British ‘progressives’ said nothing. Let them know that this British-Israeli was brutalised by Jew-killers and it made not so much as a dent in the conscience of Britain’s bourgeois left. The people who cry ‘black lives matter’ and ‘trans lives matter’ and ‘Muslims matter’ could not bring themselves to utter these three poxy words: ‘Emily Damari matters.’
And for 5) let’s go with three articles dealing with the government’s “massive fail” in education:
* “Teachers union webinar encourages teachers to oppose Trump, make students in US illegally ‘feel less afraid’: National Education Association president spoke at DNC, called Trump ‘tyrannical'” (Rachel del Guidice, Fox News)
* “NY teachers unions pump school spending to highest in the nation at $36K per kid — yet they rank low in reading and math: report” (Carl Campanile, New York Post)
* “Five predictions for higher education in 2025” (Gabrielle Temaat, The College Fix)
