Jim Daly Statement on Colorado Springs Shooting

By: Jim Daly




Saturday night’s horrific shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs exposes the evil and wickedness inside the human heart.



We must condemn in the strongest terms possible the taking of innocent life. Our hearts break for those families who have lost loved ones and who are suffering this unimaginable tragedy. We pray for them. And now the work turns to law enforcement who are tasked with investigating and determining the motive behind this senseless violence.



We pray for peace and for the welfare of our city. May He show mercy and give wisdom to those impacted and involved.

Chris Hemsworth Taking a Break From Acting to Spend Time With His Family



By: Zachary Mettler







Australian actor Chris Hemsworth recently announced that he will be taking some time off acting in order to spend more time with his family.


The actor, who is just 39 years old, recently finished filming a new series just released on Disney+ called Limitless. According to a description of the series, “Chris is on a mission to live better for longer. With the help of top scientists, he takes on six epic challenges to test mind and body to the max.”


After filming the final episode, Hemsworth told Vanity Fair that he is taking a break from his career to spend time with his family, including his daughter India, 10, his 8-year-old twin sons, and his wife, Elsa Pataky.


“Doing an episode on death and facing your own mortality made me go, ‘Oh God, I’m not ready to go yet,’” Hemsworth said.


“And then you start talking about kids and family and going, ‘Oh my God, they’re getting older, they’re growing up, and I keep slapping another movie on top of another movie.’ Before you know it, they’re 18, and they’ve moved out of house, and I missed the window,” he added.


The actor, known for his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, learned while filming Limitless that he is eight to ten times more likely than the average person to develop Alzheimer’s disease.

New Lawsuit Alleges FDA’s Approval of Chemical Abortions Violated the Law



By: Bruce Hausknecht







Four medical associations and four doctors have sued the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), charging the agency with failing to abide by its legal obligations to protect the health, safety, and welfare of women and girls when the agency authorized the chemical abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol for use in the United States.


The plaintiffs also allege that the FDA subsequently eliminated necessary safeguards for pregnant women and girls who undergo this dangerous drug regimen.


Chemical abortions now account for over half of all abortions, according to the Guttmacher Institute.


The medical associations and doctors are represented by attorneys from Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). In their complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas Amarillo Division, the plaintiffs charge the FDA with choosing politics over science, failing America’s women and girls in the process.


Over the last 30 years, according to the allegations in the suit, the FDA has taken six separate actions that violated its authority as granted by a congressional act, beginning when President Bill Clinton directed his cabinet in 1993 to legalize chemical abortion drugs in the United States. The lawsuit asks the court to issue an injunction blocking the FDA’s actions and to declare them illegal and “vacate” them, i.e., officially render them null and void.

The Flying Pastor Who Helped Pioneer Commercial Airline Service




By: Paul Batura







Just under five million Americans are expected to take to the skies this week for the Thanksgiving holiday, a welcome return to near pre-pandemic levels.



It’s difficult to imagine a world without the convenience of air travel, but it’s actually been less than a hundred years since commercial airline service began. Historians point to 1914 as the official beginning, the year when passengers first paid for a flight between Tampa and St. Petersburg, Fla. But it wouldn’t be until the 1920s and 1930s that the likes of Eastern and Pan American Airlines became household names.



In fact, one of the nation’s leading aeronautical engineers at MIT in 1918 predicted, “The airplane business will never amount to very much.”



Yet one person who foresaw the coming travel revolution was a Baptist preacher who also happened to be an Army pilot who learned to fly during World War I. His name was Lieutenant Belvin Womble Maynard.



Nicknamed the “Flying Parson,” Maynard was born in rural North Carolina. His father was a physician. He felt the call of God on his life at the age of fifteen and in 1913 enrolled in Wake Forest College in Winston-Salem, NC. His plan was to go into full-time ministry following graduation. During school, he pastored a small church near college.

Texas Moves to Secure Its Southern Border Against ‘Invasion’ of Illegal Immigrants



By: Jeff Johnston








The Texas Military Department is sending ten M113 armored personnel carriers to the state’s southern border as “part of a larger strategy to use every available tool to fight back against the record-breaking level of illegal immigration,” the Military Times reported.


The order, which includes training 50 soldiers to operate the vehicles, came a few days after Governor Greg Abbott tweeted that he had “invoked the Invasion Clauses of the U.S. & Texas Constitutions to fully authorize Texas to take unprecedented measures to defend our state against an invasion.”


It was the latest response by the governor to a huge influx of illegal immigrants into his state.


As the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported, fiscal year (FY) 2022 was the highest on record for encounters with immigrants illegally entering the country, with the U.S. Border Patrol and the Office of Field Offices listing 2,766,582 encounters with agents.


Those numbers far outstripped the FY 2021 total of 1,956,519 and FY 2020’s 646,822 encounters.


Most of these encounters, 2,378,944 in FY 2022, take place at the United States’ southwest border, which stretches from the tip of Texas, across New Mexico and Arizona, all the way to San Diego, California.
