Yes, it does tell me everything I need to know about the Democrat party, but if we control the house, the Senate in the Congress and the United States Supreme Court why doesn’t he stop the payroll tax today?
Oh, wait … The Senate has a rule of 60 votes to close debate on a bill right now to get to 60 you need the opposition members to vote to do that.
1:21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
1:22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
This verse does not start with Mark’s favored word of action because nearly a year in the ministry of Jesus was skipped. Matthew and Luke deal with that year. Perhaps Peter skipped it because he felt it could have bogged down the pace of his narrative by having to take time to explain to his readers that the rejection reflects our ability to choose to accept or reject Christ at this point in his account.
Part of what was happening with the teaching from Jesus was that He was teaching Scripture, not tradition of men; He was teaching them what God said, not what some famous Rabbi of bygone days had said. The Wesleyan quadrilateral is important but it must never be forgotten that the Scripture part of that is the preeminent portion, yet too many times tradition gets elevated above its proper place.
1:23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
1:24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
1:25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
1:26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
1:27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
1:28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
The whole subject of demonology is a difficult one, but no more so than the problem of the devil. The devil is an unclean spirit, because he has lost all the purity of his former nature, therefore he acts in direct opposition to the Holy Spirit of God, and by his suggestions defiles the spirits of men. There are many in our assemblies who quietly attend under merely formal teachers; but if the Lord comes with faithful ministers and holy doctrine then by his convincing spirit, they are ready to say, like this man, What have we to do with thee! There is potentially a hint of dishonesty in what that demon said in that it probably was well aware of the fact that Jesus was born in Bethlehem and therefore it likely was attempting to cast doubt or deflect Jesus from what it feared Jesus might be about to command to happen.
No “disorder” could enable a man to know Jesus to be the Holy One of God. He desires to have nothing to do with Jesus, for he despairs of being saved by him, and dreads being destroyed by him. Consider whose language they speak, who say to the Almighty, “Depart from us”. This unclean spirit hated and dreaded Christ, because he knew him to be a Holy One; for the carnal mind is enmity against God, especially against his holiness. People who cannot stand to attend a Bible-believing/Bible-teaching Church here on earth should not expect to be able to tolerate Heaven.
When Christ by his grace delivers souls out of the hands of Satan, it is not without tumult in the soul; for that spiteful enemy will disquiet those whom he cannot destroy. This put all who saw it to considering, “What is this new doctrine?” A work as great often is accomplished now, yet men treat it with contempt and neglect. If this were not so, the conversion of a notorious wicked man to a sober, righteous, and godly life, by the preaching of a crucified Savior, should cause many to ask, “What doctrine is this?”

Time for us all to wake up and resist the leftists selective “moral” outrage.
Why are the jailers telling me you spent 3 hours in the shower with the other inmates?
Armed man shot dead by federal agent in Minn
Bovino holds press conference. Federal officers attempted to disarm the suspect. Operation targeted a violent illegal alien. One of the rioters chose to interfere with a firearm. DHS: “Officers attempted to disarm the suspect.” The suspect had two magazines and no i.d. He began to obstruct and assault LEOs. Subject was pronounced dead at scene. This is only the latest attack on law enforcement. “We will not allow violent attacks on our LEOs. The rioter wanted to inflict maximum damage to the Federal Law Enforcement agents.
“The law does not enforce itself; it takes brave men and women to stand up for their country and take on the task of maintaining law and order.” – Bovino
Put the blame where it belongs. If Walz and Frey would allow their police to honor the ICE detainers and not release the criminals straight from jail there would be no need to have ICE agents combing neighborhoods. For example, in many other cities ICE has gone into they have cooperated with the legal detainers, no criminal rioting on mass scale occurred. These politicians want this chaos to vilify the current Administration without a true care for what happens to the people they manipulate to cross from a peaceful protest to violating federal laws. Wise up and stop letting them use you. Protest peacefully without blocking roads, injuring and assaulting Federal agents or impeding them from their lawful duties and you will be fine.
200+ rioters were obstructing law enforcement, throwing rocks and frozen water bottles at the LEOs, that is, in fact, rioting and cannot be legitimately called protesting. Multiple arrests have been made following the shooting. Mayor Frey is fanning the flames and calling for more rioting while claiming it is a peaceful protest. He is trying to cast blame on President Trump. Instead of calling for calm, and he is choosing to fan the flames. Is he trying to distract from the Somali “Learing Center” fraud investigations? Has he been receiving some sort of kickbacks from the Somali fraud?
State Sen Holmstrom is tired of Governor Walz fueling ‘mob’
The Police Chief tried to call for people to deescalate and go home. At least he referred to ICE as Federal Law Enforcement Officers, which they absolutely are.
When Tampon Tim holds his press conferences, he chooses to use his rhetoric to attack President Trump and to continue to agitate the rioters to further violence. He said “We must not rush to judgment” and then he immediately rushed to judgment against the Federal LEOs and President Trump. Instead of saying anything to push for calm, he chose to agitate and aggravate the situation.
Bovino: “The men and women of ICE are highly trained professionals.”
Why does the left protect illegal alien criminals?
Shame on all of the Republicans and Fox News hosts who fell for the fake news about that so-called “gentle” male nurse (he had been fired for inappropriate behavior) who was just “peacefully protesting” in Minnesota. There is video that shows Alex Pretti violently attacking a vehicle filled with federal agents. He kicked out a taillight and spit on officers. A week later he was shot after another violent confrontation which he initiated with federal agents.
Republicans and Fox News hosts used Pretti’s death to call for a de-escalation of the illegal alien roundup. It was all fake news. They never learn, do they? The right always seems to get snookered by the Left.
Mr. Pretti’s death was a terrible, terrible tragedy, but it could have been entirely prevented had he not violently and physically attacked federal agents. We may wind up learning that he was actually a paid agitator; time will tell.
If it wasn’t for the state and local sanctuary policies, he would have been arrested for the first incident when he attacked ICE and possibly not even released in time to participate in the second event that ultimately caused his death. I believe this is a tragedy either way, but I also think blood is on the hands of the Democrats in charge of the state and city.
I weep for our world that has lost its mind- a world that rejects God is a frightening place! We try to make sense of things that are Nonsensical- Satan is having a hay day and we must be sober minded and stay close to Christ Jesus as we walk these trying times. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dear Libtard commies,
You keep pushing the narrative that none of these protests are paid for. But people like Nate keep proving that wrong. Just admit they’re not real protests they’re paid riots for propaganda.
Paying people to protest? That’s not grassroots, that’s manufactured chaos.
No wonder trust in “movements” is tanking when money drives the message.
Paying people to protest? That’s not grassroots, that’s manufactured chaos.
It is so sad we are at this point where evil is celebrated as good and good is considered evil. I am pretty sure the Bible has a lot to say about that and people should take heed.
Thank you for your attention to this matter

Eleven years ago today, I helped plant Cities Church.
I served as a pastor there for 8 years.
This is a normal Baptist Church.
They worship Jesus.
They love each other.
They seek the good of their neighbors.
And the Left hates them and wants to shut them down, because one of their pastors serves his country in law enforcement, putting his life on the line to remove rapists and violent criminal illegal immigrants from our streets.
The Democrats are the party of lawlessness, of cultural decay, social disorder, and death.
It’s time for Christian boldness—for courage and clarity about Jesus and sin.
And it’s time for our governing officials to fulfill their mandate and become a terror to evil conduct. They do not bear the sword in vain.
That’s what our nation needs.
‘SHAME ON YOU!’ Anti-ICE agitators storm a Minnesota church during Sunday service to confront a pastor over his alleged ties to federal immigration enforcement.

This story doesn’t just raise questions, it keeps changing its own answers. First we hear from an investigative reporter that the daycare receiving taxpayer dollars is not open, there are no kids. Then the director of the brand-new Department of Children, Youth and Families says it’s been shut down for more than a week. Hours later, a reporter shows up and finds vans unloading kids. Now suddenly the explanation is that this place only operates from 2 to 10 p.m. for after-school care. Which is it? Closed for over a week, or open and busy? Those two things cannot both be true, and the fact that officials can’t keep the story straight should concern anyone paying taxes into this system.
It gets even stranger when you consider the timing. Schools are out until after the holidays, meaning there is no after-school dismissal at 2:15 or 4:30 right now. Working parents would either need adjusted hours or no care at all during holiday break, yet we’re supposed to believe van loads of kids are showing up on a schedule that doesn’t align with the school calendar. Add in the misspelled name, the shifting explanations, and the defensive finger-pointing at the reporter who exposed it, and this stops looking like a misunderstanding and starts looking like a cover story in motion. When the facts keep changing by the hour, the public is right to ask what else isn’t adding up.
Interesting… Interesting indeed
The Democrats are starting to get quiet about their friend and donor. Wonder why?
