THE SERPENT'S UNFINISHED SENTENCE
Emancipation as the Fulfillment of the Original Temptation
“You will be like gods.” — Genesis 3:5
“Everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin.” — John 8:34

I. THE ANATOMY OF THE FIRST LIE
The serpent did not begin with a command. He began with a question. “Did God say you shall not eat of any tree in the garden?” (Gen. 3:1). This is the inaugural gesture of all diabolical rhetoric: the implantation of doubt about the legitimacy of a limit. Before Eve could be seduced into transgression, she had first to be seduced into suspicion — suspicion that the boundary set by God was arbitrary, self-serving, and above all, an obstacle to her flourishing.
The serpent’s lie had a structure. It was not a simple falsehood but a complex inversion. It took a truth — that eating the fruit would open their eyes — and dressed it in the grammar of liberation. The prohibition was recast as suppression. The divine law was reframed as divine jealousy. God, the serpent …More

This autistic young man between 16-18 years old was euthanised in Holland because he was joyless and terribly lonely. Poor,poor boy, instead of adults loving him and helping him, they chose to kill him instead.

Europe’s quiet role in the war on Iran
As European leaders call for restraint and diplomacy; their actions tell another story. From military infrastructure to political alignment, Europe is not standing apart from the war on Iran; it is entangled in it, exposing a deeper pattern of dependence on the United States and strategic decline.
European leaders have responded to the war on Iran with a familiar language: calls for restraint, appeals to diplomacy, and renewed commitments to international law. From Brussels to Berlin, the language has been measured, even cautious. Yet the gap between what Europe says and what it does has rarely been so stark.
While European governments publicly distance themselves from escalation, their infrastructure, alliances, and policies continue to sustain the very war effort they claim to oppose. Military bases, logistical networks, and intelligence frameworks tied to NATO remain fully operational.
Arms flows continue. Political backing, though often indirect …More

Count them.

Three.
By the time the eighth uniform walks out the front door, a mother has already rehearsed her grief more times than any human being should have to.
America is at war.
The kind of war that swallows entire generations whole.
Normandy. Guadalcanal. The skies over Germany. The frozen fields of Belgium.
Millions of young men cross oceans and do not return.
Across the country, families hang small flags in their windows — blue stars for those serving, gold stars for those lost. Some windows grow heavier by the month. Some families receive folded flags instead of phone calls. Some dinner tables never fill back up.
One American household sends eight sons.
Eight.
The odds are not kind. The math does not favor them. History does not promise them anything.
And still, a mother waits.
She writes letters she hopes arrive. She listens to radio broadcasts she wishes said nothing. She looks at eight empty chairs and tries to keep believing that empty does not mean gone.
Then …More

President Catherine Connolly has been criticised online after choosing not to acknowledge Easter or to wish Christians well on Holy Week

She is a pagan atheist! Just as well she didn't give a message, she would probably have given a "woke" interpretation to Easter as she did with St. Patrick's Day. She is not fit to be president of anything. She is a disgrace!

If we apply that theory, only Native Americans should have the right to be American citizens. Everybody else should be consider an Immigrant no matter if their family immigrated 10 or 100 years ago.

The only nation that supports birth right citizenship is the United States.
