"I am the vine and you are the branches.  If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing"

                  JOHN 15:5 IN THE BIBLE (NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION)

It wasn't too many months ago that a truck driver gave me the Gospel of John as I cleaned up the loading dock where I work.

In the Gospel of John is that passage which takes me back to my college years I was given that passage of the Good Book as I recall.

Those the days when I carried a message that the Higher Power needed to be on the throne of people's lives.

And now we have messaging saying:

                            "Christ Is King"

Am I supposed to give you the definitive answer to what's behind that well I can't right now I continue to watch that.

How about a Campus Protest Update Buffalo Springfield with "For What It's Worth"

BEWARE THE PRO-PALESTINIAN CAMPUS PROTESTS NATIONWIDE WHAT'S GOING ON HERE???

In recent years Anti-COVID mandate protests, vaccine protests etc. etc. were denounced as "Anti-Semitic" and people like you and me got that label pinned on us unfairly.

Remember how the authorities came and broke up protest encampments in Ottawa, Canada Canberra, Australia and Wellington, New Zealand making those accusations about 'extremism' and "Anti-Semitism" among other things.

Now I hear that same labels tossed on these protesters on the college campii almost like some attempt to incite me I am a Zionist you know.

This Globalist Speaker of the House Mike Johnson goes to the site of one of these protests Columbia University sets himself up to be jeered by these protesters so he can look like some sort of victim.

Then CNN interviews him to help his 'victim cred' are we being taken for a ride folks?

In the "Fairness Doctrine" era that existed back in the 1960's Joe Pyne could express his opinions but in the context of guests with differing views than his...

MATHILDE PANOT-LEADER OF "LA FRANCE INSOUMISE" IN THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOLLOWING A POLICE SUMMONS FOR ALLEGED 'GLOFICATION OF TERRORISM'

While in other countries the economic left-wing factions have declined the "Old Left" still a potent force in French politics 25-30 percent of the popular vote.

France's Muslim minority provides a large chunk of support for the Left.

Many accusations against the Left from President Macron and his government they have even been accused of wanting to bring back "The Terror" associated with the French Revolution.

But in the aftermath of the brutal Hamas attack on Israel last October 7th the government seeking to link statements opposing Israel's military actions and supporting Palestinians made by Leftist politicians with "hate" and "extremism".

National Assembly member Rima Hassan of the LFI (Left) party summoned by police accused of making an 'apology for terrorism'.

Now the leader of the LFI in the National Assembly Mathilde Panot summoned by Paris judicial police for comments said to be "glorification of terrorism"...
