@mysteriouskat The Americans used to be fearless, generous, honourable, high self-esteem, appreciating each other, trustworthy, honest, focused, creative, charismatic, diversified, and united. That is what made the America great but I am afraid they are losing it.

You know what wrecked me when I was converting to Christianity?

Jihad is literally the gospel in reverse. Once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it.

The gospel says Christ shed His blood for YOU.
Jihad says you shed your blood for ALLAH.
Jesus lays down His life to save His enemies. Jihad calls you to take the lives of enemies in pursuit of God's favor.

Christianity says the Shepherd dies so the sheep can live. Jihad says the sheep die hoping the Shepherd accepts them.

They are mirrors. One is grace, the other is striving.

One says, "It is finished." The other says, "Do more."

Jesus never asked me to earn God's love with my blood, he proved God's love by shedding His own.

That's why the cross changed everything for me. Jesus didn't come to tell us how to die for God.

He came to die for us so we could truly live. PRAISE GOD! I AM FREE! Now, we need to make all the Muslims Christian.

This is my “secret” that nobody knows.

I’ve never said publicly & instead I took years of abuse for my positions on Indigenous affairs in Canada.

My wife & my three kids: They are First Nations.

But I don’t believe my kids resumes need to be put on the top of a stack because they are First Nations.

I believe in equality. I believe in a merit based system.

I don’t believe we should be asking unelected chiefs for permission to build nation building projects.

I believe in uplifting the country as a whole.

I don’t believe in mass graves of children as a result of genocide.

Facts show mass graves were common for communities as a whole because of Tuberculosis.

I believe Residential schools did exist.

I do not deny them.

I agree - there were flaws. But I don’t believe nuns and teachers were taking the life of children.

I also don’t think it’s sustainable that we spend $30 billion per year on Indigenous Affairs while First Nations life expectancy continues to decline.

Look it up; they die younger.

We must acknowledge that something is broken.

Those who actually need help, are not getting it.

The Liberals created an environment that doesn’t help those in need, but instead helps a consultant Liberal class.

Did you know that when Harper was PM, he created the First Nations Financial Transparency Act?

Since we fund First Nations bands with our taxes, audited financial statements must be provided or face enforcement, fines/consequences.

The public, the First Nations band members, they deserve transparency from their Chiefs.

The Liberals paused the enforcement. Completely.

Ask yourself: Why?

Did you know that a First Nations band, an individual, HAD TO SUE HIS OWN CHIEF because they would not disclose where their money was going? It’s absurd. He & his people have the right to know. So do we, as taxpayers.

I’ve sat back, and seen all the negative comments, threats and how I “hate” First Nations.

And it couldn’t be further from the truth.

There’s a world that exists, where you can fight for truth, honesty, transparency & normalcy, and it not be considered hateful.

I love my wife & my kids.

I want to see First Nations AND all Canadians thrive and succeed.

WE ARE ALL EQUAL.

Immigration is not a right, it is a privilege and we grant it to those who want to enter United States, as in we the people who are citizens of the United States.

And that’s not me talking these are democrats.

We did not change they just lost their minds.

[Karla Treadway | Host Sovereign Sphere Podcast @thesovereignceo]

Americans are going viral calling their country fascist but they have no idea how good they've got it compared to Canada.

Canada just proposed a government-funded body to decide what information Canadians are allowed to consume, with punishment for those who break the rules.

So hold my beer America, because in this episode, I'm breaking down:
→ Why the First Amendment is a steel wall and Canada's Charter is a suggestion
→ Bill C-11, C-18, and C-63 — the censorship architecture being built piece by piece
→ The "Ministry of Truth" proposal and the government's own track record with truth
→ The 215 Kamloops graves, the Emergencies Act ruling, $400M slush fund, and ArriveCan
→ Why Liberals need to hear this most

This is the oldest surviving icon of Christ, the oldest painted portrait of the face of Jesus that has come down to us.

It was made around 1500 years ago, and if you cover one half of the face, then the other, you are looking at two different men...

It's called Christ Pantocrator, a Greek title meaning "Ruler of All," and it was painted in the sixth century, around the year 550, most likely in a workshop in Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire.

It was almost certainly sent as an imperial gift to a remote new monastery being built in the Egyptian desert. It has hung there, in the Monastery of Saint Catherine at the foot of Mount Sinai, ever since.

For roughly 1,500 years, it has never left.

That it survived at all is remarkable. In the eighth and ninth centuries, the Byzantine Empire went through a violent period called Iconoclasm, in which religious images were condemned as idolatry and destroyed by the thousands. Almost every icon of this age in the empire was burned. But Saint Catherine's lay far out in the desert, beyond the reach of the emperors and their decrees, so this one was spared. It is one of the very few images of its kind on earth to come down to us intact.

But the truly haunting thing is the face. Look at it, and the two sides do not match. On the side where Christ holds the Gospel, his features are harder, sterner, the brow raised, the eye larger and more severe, the face of a judge who sees everything. On the side where he raises his hand in blessing, the expression softens, calm and merciful, the face of a savior. One half is divine authority. The other is human compassion.

Most scholars believe this was entirely deliberate. The icon was painted not long after the Church had formally defined that Christ was at once fully God and fully man, two natures joined in one person. And so the artist, it is thought, built that doctrine directly into the face, splitting it in two so that the same man could be, in a single gaze, both merciful and just, both human and divine...

I started my newsletter because our past is extraordinary, and fewer and fewer people are showing us how to truly see it. Every week I try to. If that is something you'd like to be part of, you can join through the link in my bio, and if you'd like to support my work, a paid subscription is what makes it possible.

Thanks for reading.

It's not a "tanker ban." It's an NDP economic blockade.

Foreign ships still sail freely along B.C.'s northern coast.

The only thing being blocked is our prosperity, while doing absolutely nothing to protect the environment.

[Martyupnorth®- Unacceptable Fact Checker @Martyupnorth]

The United States' second amendment is a beautiful thing.

Nothing demonstrates it more perfectly that someone using a rifle in their backyard to play the The Star-Spangled Banner on steel targets.

Happy 250th.

BC has 200+ First Nations with overlapping traditional territories covering every inch of the province.

As I explain to Global News: If we allow one provincial park to be shut down to non-Indigenous citizens on the basis of ancestry, it sets a problematic precedent for parks & public land all across BC.

I’ve been fighting this park closure since it first happened, and four summers later I’m not about to stop.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: BC’s beautiful provincial parks belong to ALL British Columbians.

The Supreme Court is expected to rule in the next few days on one of the most important cases facing women and girls in our country. These justices are deciding whether they will allow biological men in women’s sports or whether they will uphold Idaho and West Virginia’s laws to protect women and girls from the invasion of men dominating women’s competition and placing girls in danger. Fairness, privacy, safety, and the future of women’s sports are all at stake. Please join me in praying for our Supreme Court justices, that they will make the right decision and send a strong and clear message to protect women and girls across our country.

[Dante Rossi @tvc1five]

Ben Mulroney nailed it — and he should say it even louder.
Government job postings are now openly declaring “BIPOC only” and flat-out telling white Canadians they are not permitted to apply.
Every Canadian — including white taxpayers — hands over their money to fund these positions. Yet under the Liberals, that same taxpayer is deemed the wrong race to even be considered for the job.

This is not equity.
This is not some noble remedy.
This is government-approved, taxpayer-funded racism directed against white Canadians.

The Liberals defend these race-based barriers as if they’re normal policy. They’re not. They’re anti-white discrimination dressed up in bureaucratic language, and it’s time we called it exactly what it is.
Pure racism.
Simple.
Disgusting.

How much longer are we supposed to accept this blatant racial double standard?

[Caroline Elliott @NVanCaroline]

A 40-unit “low barrier” (i.e, drugs allowed) housing facility is being proposed literally *right next door* to one of the North Shore’s largest dance schools, exposing hundreds of children & teenage girls to real risks. 

The disregard shown by all levels of government toward everyday British Columbians never ceases to amaze me.

The NDP’s North Shore MLAs welcomed the project. I’m unaware of any comments from Opposition MLAs.

We don’t have to accept this as normal. 
It’s time for regular British Columbians to speak up.

Six reasons I can't go back to Islam.

1. The Quran repeatedly affirms the Torah that existed in the 7th century. Today, thanks to the Dead Sea Scrolls, we know that Torah is substantially the same Torah we have now.

2. The Quran retells stories of the prophets, but many of those details resemble Jewish oral traditions and Midrash rather than the Torah itself.

3. The claim that Abraham and Ishmael built the Kaaba has no clear historical or archaeological evidence behind it.

4. The Kaaba was never God's first sanctuary. Long before Islam, Scripture describes God's tabernacle, His presence, His covenant, and His instructions for worship.

5. Islam removes the biblical system of atonement. No mercy seat. No sacrifice. No Ark of the Covenant. Which leaves me asking: how is sin ultimately dealt with?

6. Jesus. Not as a theological concept. As a living Savior. I encountered Him. He pulled me out of performance-based religion and gave me peace I never found through striving.

You can debate doctrine all day.

But I can't unsee what I've seen.

I can't unknow what I've learned.

And I can't walk away from the One who changed my life.

No turning back.

[Kerry-Lynne Findlay @KerryLynneFindl]

Premier Eby says British Columbia “is not at the table” on Alberta’s proposal with Ottawa.

That is exactly the problem, Premier. You are not at the table because you refuse to show up. While Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba work together to build pipelines, create jobs, and strengthen our shared economy, your government keeps its head in the sand and puts ideology ahead of British Columbians.

Provinces like Manitoba have shown what is possible. They have taken the 7% sales tax off food and cut gas taxes to make life more affordable for families. Albertans are not our adversaries. They are our natural partners. A strong Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba help build a stronger British Columbia.

Together, we can deliver high-paying union jobs in the north, new revenue for our schools and hospitals, and real energy security for all of Canada.

British Columbians are tired of watching opportunity after opportunity slip away because NDP ideology always comes first. Instead of complaining about not being invited, a real premier would get off the sidelines, stop blocking nation-building projects, and start working constructively with our Western neighbours.

I am ready to be that premier. We will be at the table fighting for British Columbia every single day. We will win the next election and deliver the results our families and communities deserve.

Together, we will build a more prosperous, united, and free British Columbia. Join me.

ENOUGH. 🚨

Developers took the profits on the way up.

Now Mark Carney wants taxpayers to absorb the losses on the way down?

That's not a free market.

That's privatized profits and socialized losses.

If condos aren't selling, cut the price.

Don't send the bill to working Canadians.

Congratulations to Governor @SarahHuckabeeSanders! Under her leadership, the state of Arkansas has been turning their education system around. Student test scores and proficiency have gone up significantly. They’ve raised the minimum teacher salary and created performance-based bonuses, and they have taken the important step of banning classroom teachings related critical race theory, gender identity, sexual orientation, and sexually explicit materials. I hope other states will follow their example. She said, "Seeing kids achieve and do better and be successful, that's not a red state or blue state issue. That's something everybody should care about." I know her father @GovMikeHuckabee and mother @JanetHuckabee are proud—and I am too!

You know what shook me when I was Muslim?

The Passover lamb in the story of Moses had RULES. Strange, specific rules I never thought about.

(By the way, Islam hides the Passover. Surah 17:101 mentions 9 clear signs. How many plagues existed in the Bible?)

The lamb had to be without defect. Exodus 12:5.

Not a bone of it could be broken. Exodus 12:46.

Its blood had to be applied to the door, or death came in.

I thought these were just ancient ritual details.

Then I read how Jesus died.

The Roman soldiers came to break His legs to speed up the death — standard procedure.

But when they got to Jesus, He was already gone. So they didn’t break a single bone. John 19:33.

The Gospel writer stops the story to tell you why: “so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: not one of His bones will be broken.”

A spotless lamb. No broken bones. Blood applied so death passes over you.

The instructions for the Passover lamb were never just instructions.

They were a description.

Of a Lamb who hadn’t been born yet.

One that Islam built its entire doctrine around hiding.

2024: NDP Selects a contractor to design and build the project.

2026: Still no tunnel construction. NDP Government terminates the contractor.
