Propaganda Journalism
A March 27 Bloomberg News article featured this headline: Russians’ Trust in Putin Hits Wartime Low as Fatigue Grows
Here are the three main takeaways in the Bloomberg article:
“Trust in Russian President fell to its lowest since before the start of the invasion of Ukraine, due to a slowing economy and deepening war fatigue.”
“The share of people saying they trust in Putin slipped to 75% and his job performance stood at 70.1%, the weakest for both indicators since February 20, 2022.” [4 days before the Russian intrusion began.]
“A separate survey [independent Lavada Center] showed that 67% of those polled say the country should move toward peace negotiations, as public fatigue and economic pressures intensify amid the war’s fifth year.”
The title and major takeaways of the Bloomberg article seem extremely misleading considering that no other European leader has an approval rating anywhere near 75%. Moreover, Russia’s economic position is quite strong compared to its debt-ridden Western economic competitors.

The Danger in Boasting of “Chariots and Horses”
Augustine of Hippo (354-430) was a North African (Algerian) Bishop of Hippo Regius during the latter years of the Roman Empire. He was a theologian and philosopher whose prolific writings profoundly shaped Western Christianity and philosophy. He was influenced by Bishop Ambrose of Millan and the writings of Roman Senator Cicero (106 to 43 BC) but was the first to elaborate rigorous criteria for a just war and just conduct in war and policing appropriate for Christian participation without any reservation or shame.
Augustine outlined three main criteria for a just war: It must be initiated by properly constituted authority; it must be for a just cause; and it must be conducted by just means. In the United States, the properly constituted authority is established by the U.S. Constitution as Congress. Properly constituted authorities must decide these issues on behalf of the citizens. Augustine emphasized that these authorities are also ultimately accountable to God and therefore the teaching of Scripture. Thomas Acquinas (1225-1274) and many others since have attempted to flesh out a more comprehensive Just War Theory, but the tragedy of war always generates many ethical loose ends.
The Statue of Liberty Asks: What Have You Done to America?

Before I begin this plunge into the heart of corrupted liberal dogma, let me state for the record that I am not against a degree of legal, restricted, and needful immigration, because Americans are dangerously below their replacement level of new births of legal American citizens. The vast majority of Americans living today had ancestors who emigrated from some other country and into the U.S. in the past. I am one of them, for both my maternal grandfather and grandmother came, LEGALLY, from the country of Croatia well over a hundred years ago (in the early 1900’s), and I’m grateful that they did. America has been peopled by, and generally benefited from, immigrants who came here from mostly European countries (with some exceptions) over much of the 19th and early 20th centuries, after which time almost all immigration was halted by the U.S. government (in 1924) for a time.
Is Atheism a Religion?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One of the arguments frequently used against creation science is that it is just religion. One common answer to this is that the entire Big Bang to man story is just as religious because it is fundamentally atheistic. The response to this is that atheism is not a religion; therefore, the claim is wrong.
Before going on, it is important to note that the reason for stating that the Big Bang-to-man story is fundamentally atheistic is that it is fundamentally based on philosophical naturalism. Philosophical naturalism is fundamentally atheistic, as it holds that material reality is all there is. This means that any theory that is based on philosophical naturalism is itself fundamentally atheistic.

The Need for Facts and Biblical Clarity in the Iran War
Amalek is listed as a grandson of Esau in the book of Genesis. The Amalekites were first noted in the book of Exodus for their unprovoked ambushes and attacks against the Israelites during their exodus from Egypt. The first century Roman general and Jewish scholar and historian Josephus refers to Amalek as one born of an incestuous or forbidden relationship. The Amalekites were a semi-nomadic people located on the southern edge of Canaan in an area called Kadesh near the Negeb Desert and the Sinai Peninsula. They became the perennial enemy of Israel, and because they declared constant war against Israel became an enemy of God. They became to Israel a symbol of the very essence of evil.
Mars Isn’t the Only “Red” Planet

“He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.” ISAIAH 40:22 (New International Version Bible).
Yes, I know. Mars has long been called the “Red Planet”. That’s its apparent color seen through telescopes, because of the large amounts of iron oxide dust in its thin mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere. Over past decades we’ve also seen some phenomenal pictures of the surface of Mars from the various NASA “ROVERS”, (Sojourner-1996, Spirit-2003, Opportunity-2003, Curiosity-2011, Perseverance-2020), those intrepid little wheeled robot explorers who send back great panoramas and detailed photos of the surface of Mars over 220 million or more miles back to Earth. As Mr. Spock from Star Trek might have commented: “Fascinating”!
