Broken civilizations get rebuilt at the local community level as families, businesses, churches and small civil governments begin to learn what those local institutions can be. That is happening right now in the US, primarily in rural counties.

We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.

What Is The State of The Union?

Tomorrow is the President’s State of the Union Address. I have no preview of what he will say. It may be rewritten an hour before presentation because the state of our affairs is changing by the hour.

My question every year at this time: will the speech reflect the same reality that God sees when He considers our state of affairs, the condition of our collective “heart,” and the relative unresponsiveness of our souls?

I have a lot of long-term hope for our nation because I’ve seen the historical evidence of nations rebuilding the ruins of their early foundations, and rediscovering righteousness, peace, and prosperity. I’ve seen the records of their rebuilding Christian civilization on top of ruins.

I’m watching a number of small communities in the US rebuild countercultural families, their churches, their marriages, and their radical independence from the government. These communities are rediscovering the meaning of hope and the favor of God.

But, overall, what is the state of America? Have we descended into the gutters of those previous generations which the Bible described as “a stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not prepare its heart And whose spirit was not faithful to God.”

Would “dull-hearted” be a good adjective for most of the American population? What percentage are dependent on “entitlements” the government cannot afford to give? How bankrupt is the nation, anyway? What percentage of citizens squander their time being entertained by serial fornication, or virtual fornication on Netflix or onlyfans? What percentage live by personal debt, and avoid the responsibilities of stable communities? What percentage wallow deliberately in bankruptcy, rely on the abortion pill for the sake of personal convenience, and scorn the blessing of children?

Will Donald Trump point these things out as a wakeup call? Or will he go straight to the alarming and chaotic realities of the hour…and present these as victories of an Administration which is “on top of this?”

Will an unwinnable war with Iran be started this week? Or can Trump find an offramp and call it off? Will he admit to Russia he had nothing to do with the drone attack deep into Russia a few days ago? Or will an angered Russia join with China and Iran to humble America with the promised retaliation?

Will Trump admit tomorrow that our military resources are in no way ready to confront any military, like Russia’s or China’s, which has hypersonic missiles? We currently have no defense. We also have no immediate way to repair the broken sewage system on The USS Gerald Ford, which is currently flooded with biological contamination on its way to the Persian Gulf. The toilets are broken. How are the weapon systems?

Will the President mention the international results if Iran shuts the strait of Hormuz?

Will the President mention the brewing civil war which is breaking out in Mexico and how it may harm American interests and American industry? Like, for example, the output of the majority of silver mines which are now controlled by the cartels?

What can and will the president say about America’s political class and managerial class and their connections with Epstein? And when we may have true transparency? And when he may fire the failed, dishonest leadership in the maladroit Justice Department?

Will the President explain why he just violated another tariff related law, S. 122, by slapping on more global tariffs? Will there be emergency lawsuits against his administration?

Mark Wauck reports that “Foreign investment is fleeing. Debt is exploding. AI is a bubble. Trump and Bessent are scrambling for a fix, but having made enemies of Mammon, who will be inclined to help America out in its time of need? As if to make matters worse, Rubio was sent to Munich to tell the world that the US plans to re-colonize the world, without compunction. And Trump doubled down on that when he was whining about the SCOTUS, stating that the law allows him to “destroy” nations.”

Few presidents have had so many world-threatening crises all at once. New ones are crashing into Mr. Trump’s administration almost hourly. But if he governed well, responsibly and lawfully, he could get the nation behind him and bring in a chapter of peaceable unity and stability. But what he needs most is the favor of God on his endeavors.

Where Will President Trump Be Buried?

We don’t know. Are plans being made for a magnificent sarcophagus? Something like the huge, elaborate one he imagined for Charlie Kirk? Not that I know of. When will be the day of his death? I don’t know, but his Creator has already appointed the day and the hour.

Will his funeral be meaningful, theologically? With Christian theology? I don’t know that either.

But I have been impressed with the funeral of one great nobleman who died 25 years ago at age 99, buried in Austria. His final resting place was not elaborate, but significant. It was in the crypt of a Capuchin church, the place where his royal ancestors, monarchs of a vast, 600-year-old empire, had been entombed for centuries. The crypt was locked and guarded by Capuchin friars.

Prince Otto von Habsburg, born in 1912, would have been the next in line as king of that empire, but Hitler invaded Austria and ordered the arrest and murder of the prince, who escaped into Europe and played a leading role in world affairs for ...

Two Lethal Weapons Which, Taken Together, Attack Cancer

First, ivermectin appears to target cancer stem cells—the small, highly resistant population of cells that drive recurrence and metastasis. Most conventional therapies fail to eliminate these cells. You can shrink a tumor, but if the stem cells remain, the cancer often comes back. Laboratory data suggest ivermectin disrupts this root system.

Second, mebendazole interferes with microtubule formation, which is essential for cell division. When you disrupt microtubules, cancer cells lose their ability to replicate effectively. This creates a direct anti-proliferative effect.

Third, mebendazole also impacts tumor metabolism, particularly glucose utilization. Cancer cells are heavily dependent on glucose to fuel rapid growth. Limiting that pathway places them under significant metabolic stress.

Hungary in Peril

In about ten hours the polls in Hungary open. Then, over the next 13 hours Hungarians will decide if they want a culture of life or a culture of death and slavery. Those stakes affect not just one nation, and not just one continent but the entire Western world.

If elected again, the current government of Viktor Orban will continue boldly down the path which will honor Christian Hungary’s thousand-year legacy of fighting for freedom. Orban will continue unashamedly to champion the case for a painstaking return to a European Christendom. He is setting the example of how that can be done, even in a land oppressed by decades by communism.

The alternative candidate is a feckless puppet of the popular globalist agenda, which will then sweep over Hungary like a storm, destroying Hungary’s progress, sovereignty, economy, freedom of speech and courageous governmental reforms. But most threatening of all is the plan to invalidate and annihilate all of Orban’s efforts to remind Hungary of ...
