by Kevin Barrett‚ The Unz Review: Israelis and Ukrainians are the only “right-wing extremist Nazis.” But the liberal Establishment loves them. Why? In case you hadn’t noticed‚ the liberal media‚ and the liberal Establishment behind it‚ hates “right-wing extremists.” Since 2016‚ when Trump was elected on a control-the-borders platform‚ “right-wing extremism” has replaced “Islamic terrorism” […]

Mostly Early Harleys before Transmissions by Bandit with photos by Weed This piece speaks to so many things. This brother is retired‚ but he’s not turning the motorcycle flame down. When we started this series‚ he faced three restorations of 1913-’14 Harleys and one Excelsior-Henderson. I could be wrong. There could be a 4th. Since then‚ he’s scored more early bikes‚ sold bikes‚ restored Museum bikes and is currently trying to buy another JD-model V-twin.

A Prayer for God to Be with UsBy Tiffany Thibault "Behold‚ the virgin shall be with child‚ and bear a Son‚ and they shall call His name Immanuel‚" which is translated‚ "God with us." Matthew 1:23 NKJV I love to read the scriptures and hear them read by others aloud. The precious words bring peace to my heart and encourage my faith with its truth. In the midst of all the sights and sounds of this Christmas season and the extra busyness that this time of year brings into our already full lives‚ it is so easy to gloss over the powerful words found in this Bible verse. There are two significant things that we see in this verse. First‚ we see a miracle. "A virgin will bear a child." This incredible sentence shows just how much God truly loves us. He could have easily sent Jesus into this world as a warrior fighting for injustice‚ or as a powerful leader who would change the world with His government. Instead‚ He sent a precious little child to an unwed young mother‚ into a poor community that was oppressed by the Roman government. None of this is at all how you and I may have planned for the Savior of the world to make His grand entrance. Yet God‚ in all His power‚ chose to send a little baby‚ why? Because His plans are always better than ours.  The second incredible thing that we see in this verse is these words: "they shall call His name Immanuel‚ which is translated‚ "God with us." His very name‚ Immanuel‚ has a promise for us. The meaning of His name is powerful in just those three words: "God with us."  Those words should bring comfort to us through their incredible clarity. God is with us. God is with you. God is with you at all times‚ in all circumstances‚ in all your high and low moments. God is with you in all your tears and in all your joys.  Jesus‚ the Savior of the world‚ came as an infant‚ grew to be a man‚ died on the cross for our sins‚ conquered death through His resurrection‚ and will one day return. So‚ this promise God is with you covers every detail and every little nuance of your life. You can go into this Christmas season comforted with these words. You can begin a fresh new year clinging to this promise. God is with you through your todays‚ and He will be with you as you go into all of your tomorrows. God is with us. This is the reason we can joyfully celebrate that baby born so long ago who came to change the world in His perfect way.  Let's pray: Dear Lord‚ Thank you for being with me in every moment of my life. Thank you that I never have to be alone because You‚ God love me so much that you are here with me always. May each moment of my day be filled with that life-strengthening truth. I love you‚ Lord. In your name‚ I pray‚ Amen Photo Credit: ©iStock/Getty Images Plus/Nastco Tiffany Thibault is the author of the Bible study "Being Fruitful;" she loves leading Bible Study and speaking to women‚ encouraging them through truths from the Bible.

December 11‚ 2023 Loving God and Loving OthersJAMIE IVEY  Lee en español "And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man." Luke 2:51-52 (ESV) I have been parenting children for almost two decades. Over the years‚ I have treasured many memories and moments from my kids' lives. I can recall moments when I could hardly believe I was the one God chose to be their parent. Moments of absolute joy and pride that God would allow me to see them as no one else sees them. My heart's desire has always been the same for my kids - for them to love God and love others. I'm convinced that everything else will fall into place. Motherhood is nearly universal in this way. Many moms want to watch their kids mature and grow into adults who love God and love people. I've had the unique honor of meeting women around the world who speak different languages‚ work different jobs‚ and have different financial circumstances yet still want the same thing for their children. And of course Mary the mother of Jesus wanted the best for her son. I imagine her praying and yearning for Jesus' well-being. A few years ago‚ I traveled to a small village outside of Mexico City with Compassion International and met 3-year-old Mia and her sweet mother at their local church. Mia was receiving medical care‚ and her momma was getting spiritual‚ emotional and physical care. As I sat across the table from this mom whose life looked completely different than mine‚ I remembered what Mary the mother of Jesus witnessed in her son's development - "Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man" (Luke 2:52) - and I had no doubt that Mia's mother desired that as well. She wanted the same things for her daughter that I desired for mine and that you desire for yours. Mia’s mom and I stumbled our way through communicating through a translator. My high school Spanish didn't hold up too well‚ but as we spoke‚ we smiled at each other with a sparkle in our eyes as we talked about our kids. You see‚ loving our kids and wanting the best for them is universal. It translates into every language and every culture. As moms from completely different parts of the world‚ we connected in Mexico City over the fact that we both wanted the same things for our kids. We wanted them to flourish‚ find a loving relationship with Jesus‚ and make a difference in the world. If you're a mom or someone who has children in your life‚ you probably want these things too. Taking these desires to the Lord in prayer is a powerful way we can intercede for our children. And we can show our kids how to pray for other children and families around the world. It has been my absolute honor to partner with Compassion International through the years. This partnership allows parents to have confidence that their kids are getting the best care possible‚ and that's what love looks like. I'm hopeful that as I lean into my church community and Mia's family leans into hers‚ we will experience the beautiful transformation of our kids growing to love God and love people more. God‚ thank You for the example of Jesus growing up into a man who had favor with You and with the people around Him. Your love for us pushes us toward loving those around us even more - the people in our homes and the people around the world. Would You help us remember the mommas around the world and find ways to link arms together as we raise children? In Jesus' Name‚ Amen.
