Cancer patients are fleeing Canada to seek treatment in the United States due to the promotion of assisted dying. A family speaks out on "Sunday Agenda." @LidiaNews
When House Democrats show us who they are, believe them:
➡️ 212 voted for the LARGEST TAX HIKE in history!
➡️ 212 OPPOSED No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, & No Tax on Social Security
➡️ 211 voted to DEFUND BORDER SECURITY!
➡️ 208 Democrats OPPOSED VOTER ID
➡️ 206 Democrats voted to ALLOW men in girls' sports
➡️ 205 Democrats voted to PACK THE COURT
➡️ 198 Democrats voted to ALLOW shady stock trading by Members of Congress
➡️ 192 Democrats SUPPORTED extreme, big government socialism
...the list goes on and on! Their CRAZY ideology is indefensible!
🚨 EXTENDED cut of my conversation with Pastor @PhilipAMitchell on Islam... This might be the most uncomfortable conversation for pastors to have right now.
We have 1,400 years of history as a guide. It would be very naive to think it will be different this time.
Scott Jennings is SPOT ON! 🎯 Disagreeing with Trump on a few policies is NO reason to hand power to the Democrats. Higher taxes, open borders, and radical agendas will DESTROY this country.
We must stay united and keep the GOP trifecta in 2026! 🔥🇺🇸
@iamrjknight I have no problem with this. If you have never sinned then throw your stones. All sin is an offense to God. He is sharing with others which takes guts

“We believe in Sharia only, we cannot coexist and we will never accept shirk, we want Islam for America, no compromise, even if we need to fight Jihad”.
Muslims conquer Spain by the sword and when they compromise they lost Spain, same thing in America.
This is a sober and accurate summary of this case. I'm grateful to @RFBWCF for taking the time to understand the details before making extended commentary.
As a neurosurgeon, I've operated on two patients with nearly identical injuries many times.
One was back on his feet in weeks, talking about gratitude. The other was still in the dark six months later.
Same tissue. Same operation. Completely different outcome.
The difference was not in their brain or their spine. It was in how their mind met the signal.
NEUROSCIENCE:
Pain is not just a wire from the body. A signal travels up. Then your mind interprets it, predicts what it means, and decides how much danger it represents.
A mind braced for helplessness turns the volume up. Catastrophe, rumination, “this will never end," those are not just moods.
They change how the signal is processed.
A mind anchored in meaning and hope can genuinely turn the volume down. That is not a pep talk. It is how descending control of pain actually works.
This is why two people can share a diagnosis and not share a recovery. The injury is real. The suffering is also being shaped by what the mind keeps rehearsing.
You do not pretend the pain is fake. You refuse to let the pain become the whole story.
II Corinthians 12:9 says, “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’” (ESV)
Grace does not always remove the thorn. It changes what the thorn is allowed to mean.
Self-Brain Surgery:
The sixth commandment of self-brain surgery is this: I must love tomorrow more than I hate how I feel right now.
That is not denial. It is orientation.
When the signal flares, do the operation. Tell the truth: This hurts.
Then refuse the second injury—the story that this feeling is the future. Aim your attention at the next faithful step, the people who still need you, the hope that is still allowed to be true.
Same tissue. Different mind. Different path.
Save this for the next time pain tries to push you around. And share it with a friend who's hurting.
