CHRISTIANS CELEBRATE HOLY WEEK: PALM SUNDAY, MARCH 24, 2024 THROUGH EASTER (RESURRECTION) SUNDAY, MARCH 31, 2024

During Holy Week, Christians commemorate the Passion of Christ, who died on Good Friday in reparation for the sins of mankind, and rose on Easter Sunday to give new life to all who believe. Thus, while Holy Week is solemn and sorrowful, it also anticipates the joy of Easter through the recognition of God’s goodness in sending his son to die for our salvation.

Klugewicz: Classical Music for Holy Week & Easter

Though Handel’s “Messiah” rightly reigns supreme as the king of music for Easter, there are many other seasonal masterpieces that deserve to be heard more often. Here are ten lesser-known classical works that brilliantly depict the dramatic events of Holy Week and Easter Sunday.

NOTABLE QUOTES

Sundance contributor to The Last Refuge: Following Ken Buck (U-CO), Republican Congressman Mike Gallagher (U-WI) announces he is leaving congress. This exit drops the GOP majority in the House to one seat, following a path that seemingly continues to put the Democrats in control prior to the 2024 election. This should be the GOP insurance policy against President Trump’s successful election outcome. There are trillions at stake.

Joseph Pearce contributor to The Imaginative Conservative: There are two types of heroism. There is the heroism of Achilles and there is the heroism of Hector. The first is the heroism of the Strong Man who gets even with his enemies through the power that he wields; the second is the heroism of the Good Man who lays down his life in defense of good things worth defending. The first type of hero sacrifices others in pursuit of his own self-empowerment; the second type of hero sacrifices himself to protect the weak from Strong Men seeking self-empowerment. The courage of the former is rooted in pride; the courage of the latter is rooted in humility.

Jennifer Bilek investigative journalist: The cultural shifts we see today regarding gender identity are largely influenced by huge capital inflows from governments, philanthropists, corporations, and investment management and accounting firms like Blackrock and Ernst & Young. While some believe that the ideology originated in universities, funding is directed to these institutions to promote the idea of synthetic sex identities as progressive, which students then carry into the world.

Mark A. Hewitt contributor to American Thinker: Now the deep state FDA has succeeded in overturning the decades-long moratorium of gay men giving blood. What the deep state FDA did was provide a backdoor way to void the Nuremberg Code, where voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. The deep state FDA has, and continues to contaminate, the national blood supply. They are freakishly conducting human experiments on unsuspecting surgery patients with contaminated blood. Surgery patients have not volunteered to take blood possibly contaminated with HIV, AIDS, or hepatitis. It should be a felony to knowingly give contaminated blood to a patient. And, as expected, you can now add to the list of blood contaminants, anyone who has been injected with the experimental COVID-19 “vaccines.”

Robyn Dolgin contributor to American Thinker: . . . squatters certainly know their “rights.” Many of them refuse to give an inch initially because they realize if they can hang on for 30 days or longer, they enter a new tier of protection for their illegal behavior in the bluest of blue states. Who would have thought it possible that the longer you engage in violating the law the more protection you’ll receive under the law in “progressive” states?

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: ABOLISH THE SECOND AMENDMENT

Tapson: The Left: We’re Not Coming For Your Precious Guns, You Right-Wing Conspiracy Nuts

The bad news is that the Biden administration is ramping up its gun confiscation agenda in the form of a whopping $750 million dedicated to establishing so-called “red flag laws” in every state in the Union. The good news is that epically incompetent Vice President Kamala Harris seems to have been put in charge of the push. […] Red flag laws sound reasonable, don’t they, considering how often gun violence is preceded by the perpetrators dropping blatant warning signs of murderous intent (signs which the FBI and DHS then ignore)? But make no mistake – red flag laws, which enable authorities to disarm someone who has been deemed a potential gun violence threat by family members or others in close contact with the “suspect,” will be used to target political enemies of the Biden administration. Under the guise (as usual) of keeping Americans safe, the government will exploit these laws in totalitarian ways. Own a MAGA hat or a Gadsden flag? The Biden administration sees you as a potential danger. Complain about woke schoolroom indoctrination at school board meetings? The FBI already considers you a domestic terrorist. Post support on social media for […] Kamala’s second proposal urges state legislatures not only to enact red flag laws but to . . .

GLOBALISM (GREAT RESET/NEW WORLD ORDER) & TRANS HUMANISM (AI HUMANS 2.0) ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED

(Must watch) War Room: Jennifer Bilek Warns Of “Techno-Religious Cult” Takeover By Billionaire Transhumanists

The gender industry promotes disassociation from sex reality as progressive. This is promoted as a human rights issue which it is not. The whole thing is corporate hokum. Follow the money that drives this ideology. There are no transgender people. Transgenderism is changing our culture and society paving the way for transhumanism. Gender rights are actually rights for people who want to disown reality. So you have to ask the right questions, why do people who want to disown reality, biological reality, being given special rights? Why is society being rearranged for them when they are 0.03% of the population? It’s absolute madness.

(The March 2024 article mentioned in the War Room video above) Van Maren: How a Handful of Billionaires Created the Transgender ‘Movement’: An Interview with Jennifer Bilek

The medical-tech sector is trying to confer human rights upon a group who are seeking to disown their humanity. What are the primary goals and motives of those pouring their money into LGBT organizations? The primary catalysts driving the gender industry are rooted in technological developments entwined with an unfettered market. Medical-sex identities, along with technological reproduction, are at the forefront of attempts to advance our species beyond our current human borders. The strategic linking of an agenda aimed at deconstructing reproductive sex with a civil rights movement centered on same-sex attraction was pure genius—a metaphorical fox in the henhouse, but dressed as a hen. We are on the brink of breakthroughs in genetic engineering, artificial intelligence (AI), and artificial reproduction, each comprising significant industries. The convergence of these fields indicates a trajectory towards a future that transcends our current human state. Media outlets and tech gurus emerging from Silicon Valley have, since the early 2000s, driven a narrative predicting a more integral fusion of humans with AI, envisioning the creation of a hybrid species.

(June 14, 2022) Bilek: The Billionaire Family Pushing Synthetic Sex Identities (SSI)

One of the most powerful yet unremarked-upon drivers of our current wars over definitions of gender is a concerted push by members of one of the richest families in the United States to transition Americans from a dimorphic definition of sex to the broad acceptance and propagation of synthetic sex identities (SSI). Over the past decade, the Pritzkers of Illinois, who helped put Barack Obama in the White House and include among their number former U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker, current Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, and philanthropist Jennifer Pritzker, appear to have used a family philanthropic apparatus to drive an ideology and practice of disembodiment into our medical, legal, cultural, and educational institutions.

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: A TWO-TIER JUSTICE SYSTEM

Boswell: Nancy Pelosi’s son Paul Pelosi Jr. dodges federal charges for the SEVENTH time after being linked to money laundering and mail fraud scheme involving a San Francisco Flop house

Two fraudsters linked to Nancy Pelosi’s son are set to be sentenced over a money laundering and mail fraud scheme, DailyMail.com can reveal. It is the seventh federal case that Paul Pelosi Jr., the 55-year-old son of the former House Speaker, has been embroiled in, documented in an extensive investigation by DailyMail.com. The charges leveled by federal prosecutors against fraudsters Bill Garlock and Gina Rodriguez, include shady dealings over a San Francisco flop house that Pelosi Jr. claimed to own. Garlock and Rodriguez have cut a plea deal and are scheduled to be sentenced in March. The latest law enforcement bust on the real estate dealers linked to Pelosi Jr. has led financial crime experts to question why Nancy’s son avoided indictment himself – even after he was identified by documents reviewed by DailyMail.com as paying bribes to get building permits on his Mission District flop house.

(Psychiatrists call this projection) Susan Rice Sounds The Alarm On How Donald Trump’s Debts Could Risk U.S. Security

Former U.S. national security adviser Susan Rice talked on Wednesday about the threat that could be posed to America’s security over the hundreds of millions of dollars that presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump owes in civil trial damages. Rice told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell that Trump owes “some $500 million or more” and is struggling to meet the bond in his $464 million fraud ruling, so “you have to wonder where he’s going to get that money from.” “In the event that [Trump] has to take that money from an individual or an entity, whether domestic or international, that individual or entity will potentially have real influence over him, and so that is of concern” if he returns to the White House, she added.

Sundance: Finally – House Subcommittee Chairman Pete Sessions Starts Looking at Root of DC Lawfare Activity

However, if we can get a few politicians to accurately identify and target some very specific and corrupt people within the deep state, then we begin a process where the weeds of corruption begin getting pulled out by their roots. Chairman Pete Sessions (TX-CD17) appears to have taken the first step in what could be a very lengthy process of sunlight. Chairman Sessions has sent a preservation letter to Georgetown University School of Law, identifying a couple of people at the root of the problem, Rosa Brooks and Mary McCord. While both Brooks and McCord are key players within a corrupt network, it is Mary McCord who can be directly traced to the origin of every attack against President Donald Trump and his administration. There is not a single element of the Lawfare construct targeting Donald Trump that does not trace in origination back to Mary McCord. To give you an idea of the scope of influence of Mary McCord as a key functionary, consider what we can document.

Le Mahieu: ‘Pull Off A Leg Or Two’: Footage Shows Reported Planned Parenthood Employee Discussing Brutal Abortion Practices

Planned Parenthood staff and managers appeared to discuss the sale of aborted babies’ body parts and other gruesome abortion practices in videos viewed publicly for the first time this week by lawmakers during a hearing in Washington, D.C. At the Tuesday hearing, called “Investigating the Black Market of Baby Organ Harvesting,” Center for Medical Progress (CMP) President David Daleiden told lawmakers that videos obtained by his organization showed Planned Parenthood revealing that it had a “financial incentive” to sell the body parts of aborted babies and discussing their brutal abortion practices. “These video clips from the subpoenaed congressional footage are just a small part of incredibly disturbing and incriminating undercover conversations that prove Planned Parenthood sells baby parts,” Daleiden said. […] The clips played on Tuesday before the lawmakers were recorded years ago, but were previously unable to be released due to court order.

REPUBLICAN U.S. SENATE MINORITY

Jewell: Senate Passes Massive Spending Bill In Middle Of The Night

After passing the House on Friday in a 286-134 vote, the Senate voted 74-24 at 2:00 a.m. on Saturday to send the more than 1,000-page spending package to Biden’s desk, The Hill reported. Earlier this week, House and Senate leadership announced that they had come to an agreement to fund the government for the remainder of fiscal 2024, which is nearly half over, covering the remaining spending bills that were not included in a $460 billion “minibus” that passed earlier this month. […] Twenty-five Republicans voted to pass the spending bill, along with 47 Democrats, while 22 Republicans voted against the $1.2 trillion package.

Sundance: She Will Bail – Senator Lisa Murkowski Again Threatens to Leave the Republican Party

It’s really not a matter of if Republican senators will leave the party in the lame duck session after a President Trump win in November; the question is: how many? […] Lisa Murkowski switching parties is a no brainer. Susan Collins and Todd Young are two more possibilities. Mitt Romney has already announced he is leaving. Mitch McConnell has already announced he is stepping down from leadership and will not seek another term. A tenuous John Thune will only remain if he replaces McConnell […] and so it goes. I would bet on THREE Republican senators who will switch parties, but it could easily be more.

Instead of serving out the rest of his term, Gallagher will retire early leaving the GOP with a one-vote majority! “Wisconsin law dictates that Gallagher’s seat — in a solidly red district — will stay empty for the rest of his term. Departing before April 9 would have triggered a special election.” Politico reported.

THE CORRUPT & DANGEROUS U.S. INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES & THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE APPARATUS

Kinney III: The FBI’s Otherwise Illegal Activity

How deeply is law enforcement interfering in the daily lives of American citizens? For example, it was recently reported that the FBI labeled Americans who “support the biological basis for sex and gender distinction as potential domestic terrorists.” Then what? What does the FBI, and those who cooperate with the FBI, do to such Americans? Does the FBI label FBI employees who support biology as potential terrorists? Or, is the FBI saying that no FBI employees support the biological basis for sex and gender distinction? The FBI and local police keep their specific actions, methods, and technologies mostly secret; thus, one cannot say with certainty what occurs after the FBI labels a person as a potential domestic terrorist. Americans might study the history of the FBI and local police cooperating with the FBI for hints about what might occur after being labeled as a potential domestic terrorist. One might closely study the “Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, 1975-76.” The secret actions of the FBI and police cooperating with the FBI were summarized as follows: . . .

Coughlin: Biden’s Pier Is a Gift to Hamas Terrorists

There are mounting concerns that the Biden administration’s pier plan could ultimately boomerang, especially, as Netanyahu himself has warned, if the US aid and the port itself end up in the hands of Hamas terrorists.
“This [Biden] administration betrayed its allies – the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Jordan – by handing the port over to Qatar, namely to Hamas . . . What all anti-U.S. elements will take away from this tragic episode is not that America stands by its human values to support and care for the population of Gaza, but rather that America is weak and that this is why it is granting the port to Qatar and Hamas.” — Yigal Carmon, founder and president, Middle East Media Research Institute, March 20, 2024.
As Hamas ultimately controls most of the aid distribution networks in Gaza, the plans currently being drawn up by the US and Europe to expand aid deliveries could ultimately prove counter-productive in terms of ending the conflict, as Hamas terrorists have a long track record of exploiting foreign aid to strengthen their terrorist activities in Gaza.
If the Biden administration and its European allies are really serious about . . .

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: RADICAL TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA

Schlichter: America Is Going To Be Targeted For A Massive Terrorist Attack … Will You be Ready?

It happened in Israel, and it happened in Moscow, and it’s going to happen here in America – again, and exponentially worse. The jihadis’ merciless war against the West – the Muslim fanatics are not so finicky as we are about our distinctions between the Jewish state, Russia, and us, the Great Satan – did not end when the regime media started covering other things. We may have fled Afghanistan and Libya and largely pulled out of Iraq, but that war is still going on. It’s going to go on until we decisively win it. But unfortunately, our ruling class refuses to decisively win it. In fact, our ruling class actively undermines attempts to win it. And it refuses to prepare for what’s coming. That leaves you to prepare, you the individual, you and your small community, you and your red state. There is no one else who’s going to help you. There will be a bloodbath here in America. It will dwarf what happened on 9/11, it’ll dwarf what happened in Israel, it will be Moscow times 1000, and you’re going to be caught in the middle of it.

VDH: Will DEI End America—or America end DEI?

Our future hinges on how quickly we discard DEI orthodoxy. At the nexus of most of America’s current crises, the diversity/equity/inclusion dogma can be found. The southern border has been destroyed because the Democratic Party wanted the poor of the southern hemisphere to be counted in the census, to vote if possible in poorly audited mail-in elections, and to build upon constituencies that demand government help. Opposition to such cynicism and the de facto destruction of enforcement of U.S. immigration law is written off as “racism,” “nativism,” and “xenophobia.”

The Biden campaign is taking a page from former President Donald Trump’s playbook, rolling out a nickname for the president’s political rival as the 2024 race heats up.

Team Biden’s nickname for Trump comes after the Democrat’s campaign reported a massive fundraising edge over Trump and the Republican National Committee (RNC).

Fleetwood: Media Smear GOP Candidate Seeking To Primary Leftist-Friendly Arizona Election Official

Regime-approved media are engaged in a seemingly coordinated effort to smear a conservative candidate seeking to unseat an Arizona election official who regularly attacks Americans concerned about the integrity of elections. A Republican in name only, Stephen Richer became Maricopa County’s election recorder after defeating incumbent Adrian Fontes — a Democrat who now serves as Arizona’s secretary of state — in the 2020 contest. Throughout his campaign, he pledged to “make the Recorder’s Office boring again,” and cast himself as an ardent supporter of election integrity efforts. Despite these promises, Richer did a complete 180 after being sworn into office. As The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway previously noted, the GOP recorder has since defended his Democrat predecessor’s administration of Maricopa’s 2020 election, penned “op-eds at CNN against the type of election audits he conducted to gain power,” and attacked “Republican leaders and voters for their election integrity concerns.”

Just consider what a massacre of Jews on October 7 launched: Downtown London has become a no-go zone for Jews every weekend. Jewish teachers have been being chased by frenzied student mobs through the halls of New York schools. Jewish university students have been barricaded in auditoriums and libraries by braying mobs. Synagogues and Jewish hospitals in the US and Canada have become the targets of screaming protesters. Jewish-owned restaurants and businesses have been vandalized, and their patrons have been threatened with violence. Jewish artists have had their shows cancelled or protested. Rallies featuring Nazi imagery and celebrating the events of October 7 have taken and continue to take place in Times Square and on the streets of New York City. And all this has been in response to a genocidal attack on Jews on October 7.

An approval from the terror group is expected in the next 24 – 48 hours, as time is needed to discuss the matter with Hamas’s Gaza-based leader Yahya Sinwar. In addition to the large amnesty, local media outlets have reported that Israel is willing to allow displaced civilians to return to their homes in northern Gaza should the settlement be implemented.

All are victims of a minor, treatable problems that turned deadly in a matter of seconds. Thankfully, all four survived – but left with life-changing injuries, including legs so destroyed they had to be amputated. The culprit is a terrifying condition that occurs in response to a minor infection, and affects one American every 20-seconds: sepsis. […] ‘Doctors are not provided with enough information to help them to diagnose sepsis,’ Dr Steven Simpson, Professor of Medicine at the University of Kansas and Chair of the Sepsis Alliance told DailyMail.com. […] ‘Sepsis is taking too many lives,’ she said. ‘Rapid diagnosis and immediate appropriate treatment, including antibiotics, are essential to saving lives, yet the challenges of awareness about and recognition of sepsis are enormous.’ Sepsis is a medical emergency that is caused by the body’s extreme reaction to an infection. It occurs when chemicals released in the bloodstream cause the immune system to go haywire. Instead of sending infection-fighting white blood cells to attack a foreign invader, it targets healthy tissues and organs such as the limbs and the lungs and kidneys.

Woodland & Stewart: Moment Moscow massacre suspects ‘were arrested’ – as videos show alleged killers of 143 claiming they were paid for the attack as ISIS claims responsibility

A video shows one of the suspects apparently confessing as he is kneeling with his hands bound behind his back. He is quizzed: ‘Exactly what was offered?’, to which he replies: ‘To do these things for money’. The interrogation continues: ‘Which things? What exactly?’. He replies: ‘These things, to kill.’ A soldier then asks: ‘To kill who?’. He responds: ‘They sent the location [on the Telegram messenger].’ The man goes on to say that he was told to walk into the venue and kill anyone, no matter who they were. He said he had flown from Turkey on March 4 and had received instructions from unknown people via Telegram to carry out the attack in exchange for money. He claimed he had followed a presumably Muslim ‘preacher’ on Telegram. He gave his name as Fariduni Shamsidin. He said: ‘I listened to lessons, studied on Telegram. The preacher’s assistant suggested killing people, and promised me a million rubles.’ He claimed not to know the name of the preacher of his assistant who had ordered the killings.
