How Does Šālôm Connect The Texas Shooting & UFC 250?

Last updated on: June 14, 2026 at 11:35 pm By Martin Thomas Johnson

The big news that kicked off the weekend was another tragic shooting in America, this time in Midland, Texas. Then there was another shooting this morning, 427 miles away in Crockett, Texas. So far this year, there have been over 200 mass shootings in America alone. Yet, the so-called pro-life party is quiet about gun violence, unless it hits home for one of their own constituents. The so-called conservative party is more concerned about earthly greatness, political power,... Read more

The big news this week has been more severe weather across the United States; everything from flooding to tornadoes has torn America apart. Nashville experienced severe flooding, as did other parts of the Southeast. Today, there were numerous reports of tornadoes and destructive storms spreading from the heartland up to the northeast. The summer break has been anything but peaceful and relaxing this year. It is becoming clearer and clearer that America’s weather patterns are broken. Despite what MAGA believes,... Read more

How Does Rā’â Connect The Stock Market & Severe Weather?

In shocking news this weekend, the stock market took a big hit, losing $2 million on Friday despite the strongest job report in 18 months. Of course, President Trump threw another temper tantrum because he didn’t like the numbers he was seeing on Wall Street. The president and his MAGA supporters have forgotten God’s call for His people to be different from this corrupt, power-hungry kingdom (Deuteronomy 7:6, Romans 12:2). That is why they keep putting their hope into the... Read more

What Does Yᵊhōvâ Mean For The War Powers Act & The Ballroom?

Last updated on: June 4, 2026 at 9:27 pm By Martin Thomas Johnson

0 Comments

So far this week, the big news is about how the GOP-led House voted to enforce the War Powers Act to limit the President. Trump’s authority and use of military force in Iran. The Act or resolution was first enacted in 1973 over concerns about unauthorized military use by Pres. Nixon during the Vietnam War. This resolution provides a roadmap for Congress and information for Congress to make decisions about war with the president, thus limiting the president’s power to... Read more

The big news this weekend has been about a judge ordering the removal of President Trump’s name from the historic Kennedy Center building. The center was created to recognize the artistic culture in Washington, D.C., and was named in memory of John F. Kennedy after he was assassinated less than a year after the center’s completion. The judge’s basis for his ruling was that since Congress approved and named the center, only Congress could rename it. Due to the president’s... Read more

So far this week, the big news has continued to be about the Iran war. Once again, Pres. Trump has promised that the end is near as his delegates hammer out the final details of the war and reopen the Strait while he threatens Oman and other nations. Yet, both Iran and the United States have admitted to firing upon each other despite there being a cease-fire in the area. The war that “isn’t a war” has done just... Read more

How Does Šēm Connect American Idol & The China Summit?

Last updated on: May 15, 2026 at 12:27 am By Martin Thomas Johnson

0 Comments

This week, the TV series American Idol crowned a new winner/Idol. The show has grown in popularity over the past 22 years. When I was younger, the title itself bothered me. Aren’t God’s people supposed to turn from the idols of this fallen kingdom (Exodus 20:3-6; 34:14)? It just goes to show that sin and idolatry aren’t a political or cultural problem, but a human problem, even for God’s people (Isaiah 53:6, Romans 3:23). Ironically, the top three finalists each...

What Does Tᵊrāp̄îm Mean For A Golden Trump & Virginia?

0 Comments

The big news this weekend has been the pushback over a golden statue of President Trump unveiled in Florida this week. The shocking thing about this blatant act of idolatry is that so-called Christian and Jewish leaders were there to pray over the Golden statue on the world stage (Exodus 20:3-6, Leviticus 19:4, Acts 17:29). The wickedness and ignorance of President Trump and MAGA are obvious since they are obsessed with earthly things that cannot save them, no matter how... Read more

In the news this week, there have been numerous mass shootings that have resulted in the deaths of many Americans. First off, before the weekend even ended, there was a shooting at a campground in Oklahoma at a campground that left 23 injured and one person dead. Then, just a couple of days later, there was another shooting in Austin, Texas, that left another person dead. It seems like it is perfectly normal in the United States for people to... Read more

This weekend, the big news has been about the sudden shutdown of Spirit Airlines after 34 years. The airline had been struggling for years due to its business model and target clientele, who had been hurt by the failing economy. The Trump administration wasted no time putting the blame mainly on Democrats, although they aren’t the party with all of the power in Washington. I am not advocating for a government bailout of another private company, but I want... Read more
