“King Jesus, we come humbly before you, seeking your face, seeking your grace, in humble obedience to your law and to your word,” Secretary Pete Hegseth prayed after asking standing-room only attendees to bow their heads. “We come as sinners saved only by that grace, seeking your providence in our lives and in our nation. Lord God, we ask for the wisdom to see what is right and in each and every day, in each and every circumstance, the courage to do what is right in obedience to your will.

"No websites on the Internet are being archived in ways that are available to users. In effect, the whole memory of our main information system is just a big black hole right now.
"...the only source on the entire World Wide Web that mirrors content in real time has been disabled. For the first time since the invention of the web browser itself, researchers have been robbed of the ability to compare past with future content, an action that is a staple of researchers looking into government and corporate actions.

Universities are an important part of the community. Here in Hungary, Prime Minister Viktor Orban very controversially drove the Soros-founded Central European University out of Budapest, to Vienna. To the Western mind, this is a scandal. And yeah, it’s not a good look. On the other hand, Orban understood perfectly well that universities are unavoidably political actors. He also understood that what Soros was trying to do is to form the coming generations of Hungarian elites in his particular philosophy of liberalism, which entails globalist economics (including open borders), LGBT ideology, and the usual [hard left] things. In a small country like this, an elite that has been catechized in Soros Thought could make a profound difference in the country’s future.
