Miracles Witnessed While Filming of The Passion of the Christ: ✝️
No Hollywood studio would agree to make The Passion of the Christ, so Mel Gibson decided to create his own production company and fund the entire film himself.
While casting the role of Jesus, Mel Gibson warned Jim Caviezel:
"Playing Christ will be incredibly difficult. If you do this, you'll likely be rejected by Hollywood."
Jim took a day to pray. Then he told Mel:
"We have to make it, even if it is difficult. My initials are J.C., and I am 33 years old. The same age as Christ. I didn't realize that until now."
Mel paused: "You're really scaring me, you know." And hung up the phone.
What followed was the most brutal movie role in Hollywood history.
– Caviezel lost 45 pounds
– Was struck by lightning twice
– Whipped accidentally, leaving a 14-inch scar
– Dislocated his shoulder
– Suffered pneumonia & hypothermia after hanging the cross for hours in only a loincloth
– Filming the crucifixion took 5 weeks
– Later required TWO open-heart surgeries due to stress from the role
And still, his purpose was clear:
"I didn’t want people to see me. I just want them to see Jesus. Conversions will happen through that.”
And they did:
- Pedro Sarubbi, the actor who played Barabbas, said of Cavezel: “His eyes had no hatred... only mercy and love.” He later converted to Christianity.
- Luca Lionello (Judas): Former atheist, converted to Christianity after the film & baptized his children
- A Muslim technician on the movie converted to Christianity after the film.
Countless millions around the world were converted to Christianity through the film.
It grossed $611 million worldwide, becoming the most successful R-rated film in history.
But more than that—it changed hearts around the world showing the true pain of Christ’s suffering.
Jim Caviezel now proclaims Christ boldly:
A role that nearly destroyed him became the one that saved countless others.
Would you believe these insane tariffs that the U.S. is bullying Canada with?
250% for milk?
291% for butter?
208% for whey?
241% for CHEESE?
Oh wait - those are actually tariffs that Canada imposed on the U.S. last year.
Something people need to understand about the Hegseth pick.
Our military is in crisis.
Our navy can barely build ships anymore. Our army has squandered years of munitions on the Ukraine quagmire.
Our soldiers are out of shape and morale is low.
Our country lost in Afghanistan and is losing right now to Houthis in Yemen.
Our military purged thousands of experienced patriots for not getting a Covid shot.
Professors warn that standards at our service academies have declined precipitously.
Our military had officers pick a fight with Tucker Carlson because he didn’t want pregnant women on the frontlines.
Our military admits mentally ill people who think they are the opposite sex and pays for their unnecessary medical procedures.
Our generals leak to the media about defying orders they might not like from President Trump.
All of this happened with “experienced” establishment generals running things. It’s unacceptable, and if it continues our country will keep losing wars, until we lose one we can’t afford to lose.
We need a SecDef who understands the scale of this problem and is ready for bold, decisive action. We need a smart outsider — and Pete Hegseth is a brilliant man who has thrived in the military, in academia, in finance, and in media. He understands the nature of this crisis and is ready to attack it immediately.
The people complaining think things are fine. They are afraid of losing cushy sinecures and lavish contracts. They want to maintain a failing status quo that works for them.
They should be ignored.
On January 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water. Fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease. President @realDonaldTrump and First Lady @MELANIATRUMP want to Make America Healthy Again. @michaelpconnett

Gov. Ron DeSantis absolutely DESTROYS Kamala Harris for politicizing Helene and Milton disaster response:
"I didn't know she tried to contact me. But I'd also say It's not about you, Kamala. It's about the people of Florida."
"I've worked on these hurricanes under both President Trump and President Biden. Neither of them ever tried to politicize it. She has never called on any of the storms we've had since she's been vice president."
"Why all of a sudden is she trying to parachute in and inject herself when she's never showed any interest in the past? We know it's because of politics."
"Harris is not even in the chain of command. She has not role in this!"
Bravo, Governor.
VP Harris needs to answer the following today: “Is her administration going to allow $6 billion to go the regime in the Islamic Republic of Iran while it is holding Americans hostage in Gaza? And while it is firing missiles at US ships in the Red Sea?" This is appeasement that will end badly for Israel and America and our Gulf friends.

BREAKING: ABC whistleblower allegedly will release an affidavit claiming the Harris campaign was given sample questions that were “essentially the same questions that were given during the debate,” as well as assurances that Trump would be “fact-checked” and she would not.
A few weeks ago, I started pointing out that Kamala Harris wants to tax *unrealized* capital gains. The main objection I heard was “she’ll never actually do this.” Now, we’re seeing it’s one of her signature economic policy proposals.
