How Does ‘Ôrâ Connect Bad Bunny & TPUSA?

This week’s big news has focused on the Super Bowl halftime show and Bad Bunny’s performance. Leading up to the Super Bowl, many conservatives protested against having the artist perform in Spanish. Personally, I enjoyed the multicultural halftime show and its references to the Latin culture. However, I wasn’t a fan of the dance routines due to some of the insinuations. Nor was I a fan of the vulgarity that was spoken in a foreign language. I am old enough... Read more

This week, there was a lot of news in controversy over a racist video posted on President Trump’s Truth Social social media account. The racist video depicted President Obama and his wife as stereotypical monkeys. At first, the White House defended the video and tried to brush it off as a Lion King parody that wasn’t racist. As outrage and dissent from many prominent Republicans and conservatives increased, the White House later removed the video from President Trump’s social... Read more

How Does Mišpāṭ Connect the Government shutdown & Iran?

Last updated on: February 1, 2026 at 6:56 pm By Martin Thomas Johnson

One of the major headlines this week has been the new partial government shutdown. This should concern all Americans, because it will decide how our tax dollars, which all Americans and even most immigrants pay into the government, are spent. Currently, many Democrats are threatening to vote against any bill that continues to fund the power-hungry ICE and homeland security departments because of their abuse of power and use of extreme and deadly force. The idea of a government... Read more

This week, the big news has been the continued fallout of the murder of another US citizen by the government. First, the leadership in charge of ICE and border patrol on the ground in Minnesota was transferred back to California, where he is expected to retire. Then director of homeland security, Kristi Noem, faced pushback as she continued to tell lies about Alex Pretti and his actions before he was murdered by her agency. My Bible tells me that murder...

This weekend, VP JD Van’s made headlines for his comments defending ICE and their law enforcement practices while visiting Minnesota to try to calm tensions, including the murder of Renée Good earlier this month. During his visit, the VP backtracked on his previous comments that ICE had absolute immunity to enforce laws. He clarified that the agents should be held accountable for any wrongdoing and policy violations, except for any violation that the president himself condones: Deception Murder Division Then...

How Does Ḥānēp̄ connect MLK Day & St. Cloud?

Our LordThe big news earlier this week centered on the celebration of MLK Day in America. The federal holiday has celebrated Mr. King’s birthday since 1983, when conservative President Ronald Reagan signed it into law, despite pushback from many within the Republican Party. Unfortunately, much like those conservative holdouts 40 years ago, President Trump recently changed laws in America, ending free access to national parks on the holiday and on Juneteenth. The president’s actions continue to show he is pursuing... Read more

Last updated on: January 12, 2026 at 8:59 pm By Martin Thomas Johnson

This week, most of the news focused on the President. Trump, unfortunately. First, he made the shocking confession that he feels he is only limited by his own morality, not our laws, international law, or even God’s. This should be shocking and offensive to those who are conservative, because the Bible makes two things clear: we cannot lean upon our own understanding and only God is good and righteous (Psalm 14:1-3, Ecclesiastes 7: 20, Mark 10:18). We are called... Read more

The big news this week has revolved around the state of Minnesota and numerous controversies. Late last week and earlier this week, a popular conspiracy theorist released a video of alleged child care fraud in the state of Minnesota. Of course, President Trump and MAGA leadership were quick to pour fuel on this conspiracy theory to serve their agenda. It didn’t take long for President Trump to freeze $10 billion in funding to day care centers and Democrat-led states. However,... Read more

The big news this weekend has been about America attacking Venezuela and kidnapping its president. The Trump administration had been building up military forces in the region for months, just for this purpose, and to intimidate the Venezuelan president and a sovereign nation. This was a play right out of Pres. Putin and Satan’s playbook: take what you want (Exodus 23:2, Proverbs 3:31, James 4:1-3). This is how the corrupt and fallen world works, not the people of God....
