"Rampage: A Sign Of The Times?"

"Don't you understand what is going on right now?" asked former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino.

In an interview with "Fox & Friends" on Monday, Bongino maintained the violence sweeping across the nation in response to the death of George Floyd is more than an expression of outrage against racism and injustice.

"This is not about George Floyd anymore. Gosh, I wish it was. We had a sincere moment of national unity where everyone agreed, even our police officers, that this was abhorrent," Bongino said.

"Who's talking about that now? Nobody. We're talking about an insurrection. This is not a joke, this has to stop now...they need to get a lid on this stat, or this is not gonna end well."

Bongino believes the far-left group Antifa has infiltrated the protesters and we are seeing the beginnings of an insurrection. 

Bongino said he's been told "known Antifa leadership is there" organizing riots.

"This is a sophisticated insurrection-type attack trying to take down the seat of our government," Bongino said.

According to World Net Daily: "Over the weekend, more than 50 (upgraded to 60+) Secret Service agents were injured in protests just outside the White House. Many of the injuries were from rioters throwing bottles. But police also reported finding cars in the area planted with incendiary material."

President Trump and his family were rushed into the bunker under the White House for protection.

Bongino said Attorney General Bill Barr and the President "need to legally decapitate Antifa today. We need a high-profile, FBI arrest right now. We need full mobilization of our National Guards in every state. I don't care if you're in Wyoming or downtown Miami. We have to shut this down now...Antifa and these criminals have declared war on civility and the constitutional republic...this is not a protest anymore, it's an insurrection..."

Meanwhile, Matthew 24 warns that as the day of Christ draws near, nation will rise against nation. The original Greek word translated "nation" is "ethnos", from which we get our word "ethnic."

So is Jesus warning we will see ethnic group rise against ethnic group (as well as wars and insurrections) with greater frequency and intensity the closer we get to the 7 years of Tribulation? Looks like it.

And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come ."  (MATTHEW 24:10-14)

"Far-left Turn = Twilight Zone 4 Dems"

While the MSM is busy melting -down over the Helsinki Summit, mainline Democrats have apparently been thrust into The Twilight Zone.

Don't believe it? Ask Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), who failed to win her party's endorsement last weekend for being too "conservative" in favor of faaaaaarrrr left candidate Kevin de Leon, who out-radicalizes even the far-left.

"For Feinstein, the party's decision to back de Leon was even more remarkable this time around, since she trounced him by more than 30 percent in last month's primaries," said Tony Perkins of Family Research Council.

Meanwhile, Democratic-Socialist candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shocked the political world when she bested the longtime incumbent in New York's primary election last month. What's she up to this month? Mobilizing protesters to "occupy" pretty much everything in sight that has to do with immigration; border crossings, airports and ICE offices nationwide. You name it--they'll occupy it--in an attempt to "Abolish ICE" and oppose immigration enforcement.

Even though her improbable win made her an overnight progressive superstar, some House Democrats accuse her of using her new found star power to attack moderate Democrats.

Speculation about the future of the Democratic Party is running rampant, as a new poll reveals 73% of Democratic voters want a "fresh face" for their party's presidential nominee.

Suddenly, the DNC has a dilemma: Will over-the-top-left-wing extremists (like Kevin de Leon and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) be the "fresh face" Democratic voters are hoping for? OR are they a radical left flank, threatening to divide the party and undermine its chances in the mid-term elections?

"Heartland Democrats are begging the DNC to get back to basics," said Perkins. "When your own party believes you're out of touch with mainstream America, you're in trouble." Or maybe you've gone a bridge too far, veering off course into...The Twilight Zone.

A wise man once said: "We are a people and nation in imminent danger. We mock God, ridicule His Word and His ways, and flaunt gross immorality. Only Almighty God can deliver us, and it is our fervent prayer as we go across America, that He will hear our prayers and heal our land. He is our only hope." -- Franklin Graham

"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect His will really is." (Romans 12:2)

"Amazing Election Prediction: Professor Puts Money Where His Mouth Is"

According to Helmut Norpoth, a political science professor at Stony Brook University, the next American president will be Donald Trump.

Though the polls beg to differ, Norpoth has predicted the winner of the last five presidential elections dating back to 1996. How, you ask? By using a statistical model based on the outcomes of primaries.

"Some twenty years ago, I constructed a formula, the Primary Model, that has predicted the winner of the popular vote in all five presidential elections since it was introduced," says Norpoth.

Based on election data going all the way back to 1912, the formula has only been wrong once.

"The Primary Model," explains Norpoth, "consists of two ingredients: The swing of the electoral pendulum, and the outcome of primaries."

Norpoth contends the pendulum swings to the opposite party after two consecutive terms. The Dems have been in power for two terms. History points to a Republican win this time. Only once in the past 65 years has the pendulum stayed put: George H.W. Bush managed to win a third Republican term in 1988.

"That spells continuity," said Norpoth, " a desire for more of the same." We can thank Ronald Reagan for that.

When you add in the presidential primary results, you've got a formula that favors Republicans.

"In general, the party with the stronger primary candidate wins the general election."

"The Primary Model predicts that Trump will defeat Clinton with 87 percent certainty."

Professor Norpoth  is betting on a Republican victory--literally. He's got 500 bucks riding on the Trump Train...in spite of what the polls say.

"Trump, Cruz, Rubio: WWJD?"

Evangelicals are a mixed bag, politically speaking," says Nathan Finn, church historian and Dean of the School of Theology at Union University.

You can say that again--evangelicals, politically speaking, seem to be all over the map when it comes to choosing a candidate that best reflects our Christian values.

"We come in a variety of ethnicities and worship in a multitude of languages," Finn explains.

"The vast majority of us are pro-life and affirm the biblical view of marriage, but these are not the only issues that affect how one votes."

Of course not. There's Israel--and with several possible Supreme Court appointments looming, the stakes could not be higher. Integrity and character matter.

Meanwhile, Franklin Graham, son of internationally known evangelist Billy Graham, has decided to leave the GOP. "I don't have faith in either party," he said. "The only hope for our country is God."

"I believe we are perilously close to the moral tipping point for the survival of the United States of America," Graham warned.

Speaking to NBC News, Graham said that he is not affiliated with any party because the whole American political system is godless and contrary to the Founding Fathers' vision.

"This may be the most important election in our nation's history. America is headed in the wrong direction and only God can turn it around."

Rather than promote a party or candidate, Graham has launched a bus tour taking a message of repentance and prayer to all 50 state capitals, urging Christians to honor God in their homes, public lives and at the ballot box.

Roughly 50 million Christians failed to vote in the last election. Imagine if every Christian voted biblical values in every election--how different would this country be today?

As followers of Christ, we don't have the luxury of being a "mixed bag". We must all prayerfully ask God (politically speaking) "WWJD?"

"To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Ruler of God's creation. I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Revelation 3:14-16.

"Syrian Refugee Crisis: WWJD?"

In the wake of a new propaganda video in which ISIS brags about the Paris terror attacks and threatens  both NYC and DC with  similar attacks, people are understandably wary about taking in Syrian refugees.

To make matters worse, Morten Storm, former jihadist turned CIA spy is warning that an attack during the holidays is likely. "These people are opportunists," he says.

And the New York Post reports:

"A leader of New York's Syrian community told The Post on Wednesday that ISIS terrorists have "absolutely" sneaked into America by posing as civil war refugees."

Aarafat "Ralph" Succar, a member of the Bay Ridge Community Council in Brooklyn, NY, went on to say corruption in his homeland is so rampant that anyone could easily pay bribes and obtain official identification papers bearing a fake name.

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls agrees:

"Some of the suspects in the Paris attacks took advantage of Europe's migrant crisis to slip in unnoticed," he said, warning the EU needed to "take responsibility" over border controls.

Both the FBI Director and Homeland Security Chief say we can't properly vet these refugees because the Syrian infrastructure is in shambles.

And to top it off--ISIS has openly boasted they plan to use the refugee crisis as cover to sneak into the U.S.

As a result, 53% of Americans do not want to take any Syrian refugees.

Meanwhile, the House just overwhelmingly passed the American SAFE Act, a bipartisan bill that would require certification and background investigations before aliens from Syria or Iraq are admitted to the U.S. as refugees.

Which could take up to 2 years to complete.

The problem? Over 4 million people have been forced to run for their lives since the Syrian War began. Many of them are innocent families with children and elderly grandparents. Some of them are Christian.

There is a middle ground between doing nothing and allowing them to flood across our borders.
