Children were not murdered at Indigenous residential schools and the entire story of 215 graves found in Kamloops is a hoax.
Many Indigenous leaders and communities supported or requested schooling, including forms of residential education, specifically to give children skills for a changing world (literacy, farming, trades, English).
The numbered treaties of the 1870s included education provisions that Indigenous negotiators sought so their children could acquire the “learning of the white man.”
Historical accounts (including works by J.R. Miller and treaty records) show chiefs requesting teachers and schools for practical adaptation after traditional economies were disrupted.
Now pass this bill and arrest me. I’d love to present evidence of all this in court.
Do you have a powerless gospel?
Mark 3:1-6 Jesus entered again into a synagogue; and a man was there whose hand was withered. They were watching Him to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him. He *said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and come forward!” And He *said to them, “Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to kill?” But they kept silent. After looking around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, He *said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and immediately began conspiring with the Herodians against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.”
The religious spirit continues to insist that healing isn’t for today but underneath the doctrine is a jealousy, rooted in a powerless gospel.
Matthew 10:7-8 Jesus said, “as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.”
Mark 16:15-18 Jesus said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
A powerless gospel is a different gospel! All of us have experienced unanswered prayers but we mustn’t reduce the gospel to our disappointment. The disciples also had unanswered prayers but Jesus continued to challenge them to believe God for the impossible.
Radical Islam is rooted in:
- pedophilia
- total oppression of women
- honor killings
- forced compliance
It's fundamentally incompatible with the freedoms and individual rights that define Western society
I reread this every year.
I cry like a baby every year.
Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.
Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.
Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?
Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.
Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.
Lisa: Are you okay?
Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.
Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?
Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.
Lisa: I promise.
Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.
Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)
Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.
Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.
Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.
Lisa: What are you going to do?
Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.
Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.
Professional racing driver Ollie Millroy thanks competitor Loek Hartog for saving his life after getting into a fiery crash over the weekend in China.
Millroy says he'd be dead if Hartog hadn't jumped out of his car to pull him out of his burning car.
"I am still alive tonight, entirely thanks to one man. Loek Hartog stopped instantly with no flag marshalls or fire crews in sight, and risked his own life to get me out of the car."
"I don’t remember anything between 30 seconds before the crash and 1 hour after it, but I will remember his incredible act of bravery for the rest of my life..."
"I’m laying here tonight with 5 broken ribs, broken collar bone, broken hand and finger and a bruised lung, but it could have been much worse."
"Thank you Loek. I owe you my life for your selfless act today."
The Lord told me this morning that I have a puny God! I need to serve the God of the universe. He told me if I understood who I am serving I would never worry! He said, a puny God is an idol, it cannot do miracles, cannot speak, it cannot protect. He said, I am the God of the universe who you are serving. Stop serving a puny God. I am the Creator, I make it rain one day, and the sun shines the next day. I’m the God who changes the circumstances overnight. Do not serve a puny God.
Trials test, our faith! They reveal whether we have a puny, God or the God who reigns over everything! (James 1)
If you read the Bible come up with a puny god, you did not have the God of the Bible. Our God does the impossible
You didn’t just get forgiven when you received Jesus—you became a new creation.
2 Corinthians 5:17 doesn’t describe a slightly improved version of your old self. In Christ, you became something new—someone who has been given a new heart, a new mind, and a new position.
You may be living on earth, but your citizenship is in heaven. You are seated with Christ in heavenly places, far above every principality and power.
That changes the way you see yourself, the way you think, and the way you live.

A three-peat for Team B.C. 🏆🏆🏆

After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines,
I’m officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect.
If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.
My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027.
I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions.
I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices.
I’m simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone — the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for.
My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the #WNBA honoring its stated principles.
See you at training camp.

To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
Happy 250th birthday to the greatest country the world has ever known! 🇺🇸
The greatness of the United States is a testament to the grit, determination, and spirit of the American people—and we’re just getting started.
Here’s to the next 250 years, America!

@ronmortgageguy@tylermeredith No debate on the public nudity. Wrong. Full stop.
As for the Pride crap - it has gone so far into insanity that normally sane people think it’s ok. Give your head a shake. We are guys or girls. Simple. Sleep with any consenting adult - but don’t try and force it on others.
@ronmortgageguy But that’s also assuming the flippers sell in a market that stays where it is today - what happens if the housing market continues to slide?
