The Liberal Betrayal of the Jews
FrontPageMag.com, 4/30/25, “The Liberal Betrayal of the Jews” [Excerpts]:The Holocaust inversion that had become so commonplace in anti-Israel [1] arguments was now taking center stage at the D.C. Holocaust museum at an event commemorating the Holocaust. And the man responsible had spent decades running the organization that was supposed to fight antisemitism, only to equate Trump’s actions against Hamas supporters with the Holocaust.
In the first 100 days after President Trump took office, the liberal Jewish groups that had at best offered toothless condemnations of over a year of riots by Hamas supporters, including several assaults on synagogues, one on a Holocaust museum screening an Oct 7 documentary, and the harassment of Jews on college campuses nationwide, showed that they were not inept after all.
Instead the same groups that had stood by before quickly organized themselves into a movement to aggressively rally for the Hamas supporters attacking American Jews.
The Jewish Council on Public Affairs run by Amy Spitalnick, a former employee for the anti-Israel [1] lobby J Street, took the lead in standing up for Mahmoud Khalil and other campus terror supporters who had led campaigns to intimidate Jews on campus.

What Is Christian Ethics?
BibleStudyTools.com, 4/21/23, “What Is Christian Ethics?” [Excerpts]:What exactly is Christian ethics? It can seem like a puzzling question. One would think, “Well, the Bible makes it clear how we should live. If ethics is the study of how to be morally upright, shouldn’t we just follow the Bible? End of discussion?”
Well, there may be a little bit more to that. For instance, what do we do in gray areas? Such as what the early Christians had to deal with when it came to eating meat sacrificed to idols (1 Corinthians 8).
According to Merriam-Webster, ethics are “a set of moral principles: a theory or system of moral values a person follows and allows to orchestrate their lives.”
Regarding Christian ethics, we have made the Bible our set of moral values. We follow the Ten Commandments and the greatest two commandments set out by Jesus: love God and love others (Matthew:22:34-40 [34] But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
[35] Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
[36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[38] This is the first and great commandment.
[39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
See All... [3]).
What distinguishes Christian ethics is the solid foundation it is built on. We do not murder because we believe humans are created in the image of God. We do unto others because when we help the least of these, we help God (Matthew 25).

Marine Mammals: Designed for Deep Diving
ICR.org, 4/24/25, “Marine Mammals: Designed for Deep Diving” [Excerpts]:There are many fascinating aspects to these amazing aquatic creatures. One of the more astounding facets is the seal’s ability to dive deep and stay submerged for upwards of 30 minutes.
The world’s deepest-diving mammal is Cuvier’s beaked whale, which can go down over nine thousand feet and stay there for well-over three hours.
Creationists recognize the design of diving mammals (including sea otters, pinnipeds, cetaceans, and manatees) put in place by Jesus the Creator. It’s not so simple for them to just hold their breath while they dive until coming back up for air. Zoologists realized decades ago there is a significant amount of physiological and anatomical features within the creatures that are critical during a typical dive. Such designs could never come about by chance, time, and natural processes.
Take, for example, oxygen storage during the seal’s dive. In addition to oxygen being briefly kept in hemoglobin molecules in the blood, a small amount of oxygen is also in the residual air kept in the lungs. (On prolonged dives, some mammals rely on anaerobic respiration that results in a buildup of lactic acid.) But this is not why they can stay down so long. God placed a molecule in the muscle called myoglobin. This differs from hemoglobin in that it has a single polypeptide chain (hemoglobin has four peptide chains). The concentration of myoglobin in Cetaceans, pinnipeds, and other marine mammals is about 30 times more than in land animals. The muscle in cattle is bright red (think fresh ground beef), but the oxygen-rich myoglobin concentration in whale and seal muscle is so high it’s almost black, allowing them to stay submerged for so long.
