(CN) – California lawmakers advanced a bill Tuesday to allow judges to restrict someone’s access to guns if they pose a danger to themselves or others, despite concerns from community groups that the bill may violate civil rights.

Under current law, police officers or the immediate family members of someone who poses a threat can petition a court to issue a gun violence restraining order which, if granted, requires the gun owner to surrender all weapons and ammunition for 21 days.  Continue reading “Tougher Gun Violence Restraining Order Bill Advances in California”

American evangelicals, who revere Israel as the “Holy Land” and as the home of God’s Chosen, may want to reconsider their diseased theology. In fact, Israel is home to some of the world’s most energetic and active gays and lesbians—men and women who not only have same sex but regularly mock and despise our Lord Jesus Christ.

     The Apostle Paul, who warned against sexual uncleanness, lewdness, and fornication, would be appalled if he were to return to Israel today.   Continue reading “Homosexuals In Israel’s Armed Forces”

After a tsunami of skepticism swept over the media following the Pentagon’s release of a dubious video supposedly showing Iranians removing a mine from the hull of a tanker, the generals followed up with a color version of basically the same video. Like the first video, the second color video doesn’t show much of anything. 

But no matter. It will serve as a catalyst for war, along with the Iranians declaring they will exceed a limit imposed on the production of enriched uranium. The limit is part of the 2015 nuclear deal trashed by Trump.  Continue reading “Iran: The Technicolor War”

The system is broken, and the managerial elite will keep it broken because it serves their interests to keep it broken.

America’s managerial elite came to do good and stayed to do well–at the expense of everyone beneath them. Now that they’ve entrenched themselves at the top of the status quo, there’s no way to dislodge them, even as their failure to address what’s broken, much less actually fix what’s broken, insures systemic breakdown.
