TODAY IS GOOD FRIDAY AND EASTER, THE CELEBRATION OF CHRIST’S RESSURECTION, IS SUNDAY, APRIL 9, 2023

Birzer: The Brilliant Darkness of a Friday Afternoon

As Jesus looked down from the cross, so close to three o’clock on a Friday afternoon, he saw his “mother, with her sister, Mary wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.” Next to the three Marys stood “the disciple whom he loved,” St. John. For nearly four decades, this scene has haunted me. As Catholics, we focus so much on Jesus’s physical suffering on the cross, the pain his mother must have felt, and the forthcoming death and resurrection that we often readily and understandably skip a person who is vital—actually, fundamentally and profoundly critical—to the entire story: St. John. Tradition tells us that John was the youngest, that he was the last to write his Gospel, and that he was the only apostle not to have been brutally martyred. At the moment that Jesus looked down from the Cross, He gave His mother to John, asking him and his house to shelter her. “’There is your mother’; and from that moment the disciple took her into his home.” While I have often wondered what St. John must have felt—the pain and the anguish—at seeing his savior crucified, I have wondered far more often what Jesus must have felt, especially given that He was fully man as well as fully God. No doubt, it meant a great deal to Him to have the four by his side in His greatest moment of agony. All to the good. But, as a man, what must He have thought knowing . . .

Powell: Reflections on Easter

While Christmas—the birth date of the Messiah, Jesus Christ—marks the watershed of splitting calendar history into two epochs, B.C. and A.D., Easter marks the day and commemorates actual events, however miraculous, that followed the crucifixion and death of Christ that transformed the world forever.

But how and why would that torturous event and extreme sorrow associated with the death of the messiah affect eternity in a positive way? Why should Easter be a joyful time? The answer is neither elusive nor complicated. There are many religions of the world going back thousands of years. But only one of them, Christianity, has a founder who professed to be the Messiah—the son of God—who provided irrefutable proof of who he was by conquering death through resurrection. Easter is the celebration of Christ’s resurrection. Christ is absolutely unique in being the only person in history who was pre-announced starting a thousand years before he was born, with over 100 prophetic accounts from 18 different prophets from the Old Testament between the tenth and the fourth centuries BC—predicting the specifics of his coming birth, life, and death.

NOTABLE QUOTES

Lawrence A. Franklin contributor to Gatestone Institute: Communist China is currently preparing its people for war. America is not. The American people, who take their magical lives — when compared to so many people in the world — for granted, may be in for a tormenting shock.

Petr Bystron Alternative for Germany political party member: The Biden administration stands for a woke, globalist ideology that has as little to do with original American values as the left-green ideology in Germany. The United States of the Clintons and Epsteins, of Soros, Biden and Zuckerberg, is not our friend.

Steve McCann contributor to American Thinker: The root of all nation-destroying evil is the megalomaniacal abuse of power.   In the United States of 2023, no two people personify that more than ninety-two-year-old George Soros and eighty-year-old Joe Biden, who are essentially working in tandem to destroy the United States as founded.

Kurt Schlichter contributor to Townhall: Is this the kind of country we always wanted? Nah. I greatly prefer the rule that you are reluctant to jail your political enemies and to use the law to squash your opponents’ ability to compete. But you know what? The Dems decided they wanted different rules. I warned them. I opposed their changes. But no one can deny that the changes happened. We do live in a country where you jail your political enemies and use the law to squash your opponents’ ability to compete. And we will live in such a country right up until the moment that us doing it to them causes them so much pain that they beg us to change the rules back again.

Kevin McCarthy  U.S. House Speaker (R-CA): “I am the speaker of the House. There is no place that China’s going to tell me where I can go and who I can speak to, whether you be foe or whether you be friend.”

@realDonaldTrumpPost: REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS SHOULD DEFUND THE DOJ AND FBI UNTIL THEY COME TO THEIR SENSES. THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TOTALLY WEAPONIZED LAW ENFORCEMENT IN OUR COUNTRY  AND ARE VICIOUSLY USING THIS ABUSE OF POWER TO INTERFERE WITH OUR ALREADY UNDER SIEGE ELECTIONS!

Stauffer: PRO-TRUMP MP KICKS A HORNETS NEST IN BUNDESTAG: ‘THE UNITED STATES OF THE CLINTONS AND EPSTEINS, OF SOROS, BIDEN AND ZUCKERBERG, IS NOT OUR FRIEND’

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is a right-wing populist political party whose members fiercely oppose the elitist, globalist agenda now favored by leftists around the world. On Friday, the morning after news broke of New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment of former President Donald Trump, AfD member of the Bundestag Petr Bystron stood before his colleagues to deliver remarks on the state of U.S. politics and the September explosion of the Nord Stream Pipeline for which he holds the U.S. accountable. Although I must say that Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh offered the most compelling explanation I’ve heard so far for the sabotage of the pipeline, I don’t profess to know who is responsible. But I wholeheartedly agree with the rest of Bystron’s words. His comments created quite a stir in the parliamentary chamber and show that Republicans aren’t the only ones noticing the Democratic Party’s abandonment of traditional American values. The left’s descent into insanity has become too big to hide. […]  There’s evidence that Bystron is not the only foreign politician to question America’s dangerous trajectory. In a quite remarkable speech delivered one month before the 2020 U.S. presidential election, French President Emmanuel Macron  . . .

Sundance: Mexican President Lopez-Obrador Joins Hungarian Prime Minister Orban in Slamming President Trump’s Arrest

You know, it’s funny.  If you viewed the world through the prism of western corporate media, aside from North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un, the other world leader to draw the strongest criticism from President Trump was Mexican President Lopez-Obrador.  Yet, both Chairman Kim and President AMLO are two of Trump’s strongest defenders against the leftist regime of Joe Biden. Secondly, I have to give heaps of credit to President Lopez-Obrador for his comments about the Biden administration’s targeting of President Trump.  If there was one leader who was closest in proximity to feel genuine retaliation from the American targeting operation, it would be AMLO.   Yet for two years this guy has faced-down the Biden administration, undressed Biden verbally and publicly while refusing to acquiesce to the #1 priority of the current U.S. regime around energy policy.

Vespa: Does Trump See the Trap That’s Waiting for Him?

There is no gag order on Trump, who is now comfortably the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination, something that Democrats want more than anything other than Trump in jail. Still, they know that’s not going to happen. The goal is to keep the former president in an endless loop of scandal and controversy while degrading his stock with moderate and independent voters. Yet, the judge’s non-gag order all but issues one—it’s highly subjective. In the words of Admiral Ackbar, “it’s a trap” (via NY Post): . . . […]  Prosecutor Christopher Conroy raised Trump’s recent use of incendiary language on his Truth Social media platform, highlighting a number of the posts during the proceeding and handing the judge several examples printed on paper.  […]  Well, that’s freedom of speech, and muzzling the frontrunner for the GOP nomination is also bad politics, whether you like Trump or not. Yet, how this recommendation was framed is so broad that anything the DA’s office might not like could be construed as “making statements likely to incite violence or create civil unrest.”

TYRANNY IN THE NAME OF CLIMATE: GLOBALIST POLITICIANS & BIG BUSINESS ACCUMULATE MORE  POWER & CONTROL

Walsh: THE COLUMN: Actually, It Is ‘Blah, Blah, Blah’

Tne pernicious development of these parlous times has been the rise of various cults that ape the trappings of Christianity while being fundamentally and unalterably opposed to its moral tenets. Case in point, the Marxist Suicide Cult masquerading as heroic do-gooderism that goes by the name of “climate change,” by which these solipsistic lunatics mean “man-made climate change.” The argument that the climate is changing is prima facie false, because there is no argument. The climate is always changing. An hour in any major art gallery immediately illustrates that. Start with the Dutch paintings from the Little Ice Age, such as Brueghel’s Hunters in the Snow from 1565 if you doubt me. Note also that the old city of Alexandria, in Egypt, which was founded by the Macedonian Greek Alexander the Great c. 331 B.C., and once ruled over by Cleopatra, is now under water. Man had nothing to do with either. In fact, to say that puny human beings can affect the climate is arrogance of the highest order when one considers the size of the Sun and the vastness of even our little solar system at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy. “An ant in the afterbirth,” as Mr. Dolarhyde famously put it. ” In the roughly five thousand years of recorded human history, there has been one period in which we have had a real taste of our climate’s potential for moodiness, beginning around . . .

Catenacci: New York climate law defines ritzy communities with million-dollar homes as ‘disadvantaged’

New York state officials determined that multiple high-income villages that boast million-dollar homes are “disadvantaged,” opening the door for the areas to enjoy increased energy development funding. In late March, the so-called Climate Justice Working Group (CJWG) — which consists of nine environmental justice advocates and four state government officials — released a list of disadvantaged communities as mandated under the 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. Under the 2019 law, historically disadvantaged areas defined by the CJWG are required to receive no less than 35% of clean energy program funding. […] . . . the working group included the villages of Tuckahoe and Shinnecock, two ritzy neighborhoods located in the Hamptons on Long Island, New York. The median home price in Tuckahoe, for example, is $4.2 million, according to the real estate firm Redfin. One home located in the village was sold for $4.4 million in December.

REPUBLICAN U.S. HOUSE MAJORITY

Drey: Speaker McCarthy Meets With Taiwan President Tsai, Defying Threats From China

U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) met with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen in California on Wednesday, defying threats from China attempting to pressure and internationally isolate the island from the Chinese Communist Party rule. McCarthy hosted a bipartisan meeting with Tsai at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library out of Los Angeles with dozens of lawmakers, including the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party chair and ranking members Reps. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL). During a joint press conference with Tsai, the House speaker said he believes U.S.-Taiwan relations are stronger than ever. However, as tensions worldwide have reached their highest point since the end of the Cold War, McCarthy condemned authoritarian leaders for provoking needless conflicts with violence and fear.

White: Meet The Double-Crossing Texas GOP Congressman Lobbying For Dangerous Border Cartels

Gonzales is actively working to sink the entire Republican congressional strategy to ensure the border remains open.  The border crisis ravaging our nation is once again shaping up to be at the center of congressional debate — though the battle lines are not as clean as one might expect. House leadership recently signaled that legislation could soon come to the floor in April to curb the onslaught of illegal immigration at the southern border. Every House Republican in the Texas delegation, except one, has rallied around Rep. Chip Roy’s H.R. 29 to fix asylum loopholes and reimplement the “turn away” authority necessary to restore some semblance of sanity. Left-leaning Rep. Tony Gonzales is the lone Texas Republican holdout. Gonzales has effectively declared political war on his own conference and voters. He first falsely maligned the Roy bill as legislation that would ban “all asylum claims” and more recently, tagged the asylum reform bill as an “unchristian anti-immigrant bill.” Gonzales has declared that if the bill is brought to the House floor, he will be forced to vote “no” on the debt ceiling.

Schlichter: The Only Way to Restore the Norms Is to Finish Them Off

Conservatives whose reaction to the banana republic shenanigans of a leftist DA in a leftist city using a ridiculous perversion of the law to take out an enemy of the leftists is anything less than a desire to deal the pain right back are worse than useless. They are a menace. Their channeling of Kevin Bacon in “Animal House” empowers our enemies to ruin our country – and us. If you love the rule of law, if you want to bring back our precious norms and hold to our precious principles, then it’s time to go Full Truman and nuke ‘em ‘til they glow. I note that Japan hasn’t gotten uppity since we tossed them a couple of hot rocks. And that’s what we need to do to the left. Mutually assured destruction works. But the “mutual” part is just as important as the “destruction” part. When you don’t make it mutual, when your sissy rectitude reacts to them wrecking you by whimpering about how hypocritical they are, then it’s only us who get destroyed. And that does not work for me.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Toosi, Kine & Banco: China is ghosting the United States

Secretary of State Antony Blinken wants to reschedule his date with China. Beijing is giving him the cold shoulder. The Biden administration called off Blinken’s planned trip to Beijing in February after a Chinese spy balloon traversed U.S. skies, but has since been trying to restart high-level talks. That includes rescheduling the Blinken visit, and setting up other trips by top U.S. officials and a phone call between President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, a current U.S. official and a former State Department official said. But China is rebuffing the U.S. efforts, the people said, and its willingness to fully engage may hinge on the drama around Wednesday’s meeting in California between Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen and Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy . […]  Beijing is increasingly resentful about U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and official contacts that China says encourage Taiwan’s pro-independence elements.

[…]  China also is pressing back particularly hard on the proposals for a Xi-Biden call.

Franklin: China’s Race to Dominate the Military and Emerging Technologies

  • The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) openly says it wants to establish dominance in emerging critical technologies as part of its strategy to supplant the United States as the world’s dominant power, establish a new world order and replace the US-led international system established after WWII.
  • The US has only a little time left in this race. Reports indicate that deep cuts to the military made by several administrations have severely impaired its ability to catch up. Remaining talent and resources will possibly be reallocated in a new administration, if it is not too late by then. China has been supercharging its military for years while the U.S. has sat back, watched, and argued about unrelated social issues.
  • Communist China is currently preparing its people for war. America is not. The American people, who take their magical lives — when compared to so many people in the world — for granted, may be in for a tormenting shock.

Arnold: Obama Received $30 Million From CCP Linked Fugitive As Trump Faces Criminal Prosecution

As Democrats are politically targeting former President Donald Trump for allegedly paying hush money during the 2016 presidential election, President Obama’s “illegal foreign influence operation” is flying under the radar. Earlier this week, actor Leonardo DiCaprio testified in federal court that Malaysian financier Jho Low revealed his plans to donate up to $30 million to help Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign. “It was a causal conversation about what party he was in support of; I told him what party I was in support of. And he told me that he, or he and a group, were going to make a significant contribution to the Democratic Party,” DiCaprio told the Washington jury. “It was a significant sum… something to the tune of $20-30 million. I said, ‘Wow, that’s a lot of money!'”

VDH: Our French Revolution

America now has three potential futures and two are bad.  We are in a Jacobin Revolution of the sort that in 1793-94 nearly destroyed France. And things are getting scary. The Democratic Party vanished sometime in 2020. Hard-left ideologues absorbed it. They were bent on radically altering, or hijacking, existing institutions to force radical, equality-of-result agendas that otherwise do not earn majority support. The American people want affordable power and fuel, and energy autonomy. They do not want a Green New Deal that results in dependence on the Middle East. They want . . .

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: PROMOTE & GLORIFY GENDER DYSPHORIA A MENTAL ILLNESS

Goldstein: The Rapidly Expanding Transgender Cult Is The Product Of Cultural Marxism

The left picked their side. And the side they picked was the side of a school shooter who became for them an emblem of their cultural movement: Cast as a victim of “hateful” traditional religious values, a tragic figure broken by her desire to “be seen,” the shooter was sainted, her death a kind of religious redemption play. The narrative coalesced around her supposed suffering because the left was never going to surrender its stranglehold on politicized victimhood. That’s where all the power is. At the tip of the cultural Marxist spear today is the trans cult. Just a year ago, it was the racialist cult of Black Lives Matter. Their presence is smothering in cultural spaces by design. In fact, their defiance of norms is predictable. After all, over the last seven years or so we’ve seen veneers of civil comradery peeled back, or else worn so thin as to become transparent.

Boyd: Ruling Class Sides With Transgender Shooter Who Murdered 6 At Tennessee Christian School

Prior to the recent Nashville shooting in which a transgender-identifying shooter shot and killed three children and three staff at a small Christian school, the identity-obsessed ruling class jumped to condemn shooters. When police admitted the shooter’s trans identity motivated her to target her former educational institution, however, the organizations that usually come out of the woodwork to support every other identity group when they are terrorized remained silent. Instead of speaking out in support of Christians following the attack, the people who run the White House, Congress, state governments, top corporations, and the entertainment industry responded to the tragic deaths by offering solidarity with trans-identifying Americans like the Nashville shooter. They didn’t just ignore how transgenderism reportedly played a role in the shooter carrying out the “targeted attack,” but they doubled down on the alphabet sexual ideology. Here are many of the politicians, companies, and organizations that went on to tacitly blame the victims of the shooting by celebrating the identity of the person who murdered them.

The Federalist Staff: Transgender Inc.: A Running List Of Corporate Gender Insanity Insulting Women, Kids, And Reality

Rather than highlight the dangerous and irreversible procedures associated with transgenderism, such as chemical castration and genital mutilation, many major corporations have opted to champion trans ideology — even for unsuspecting children.

Simonson: Biden Judge Released Man Accused of D.C. Hotel Murder From Jail in December

A couple months after George Sydnor Jr. was arrested in October for armed robbery, Biden appointee Sean Staples, a D.C. superior court judge, took over his case and released him. Sydnor subsequently skipped his arraignment hearing and was issued a warrant for his arrest. Staples’s ruling came just two weeks after a different judge had denied Sydnor bail, citing his criminal history. Since 2000, Sydnor has been convicted of several felonies and misdemeanors including domestic violence, armed robbery, and rape, according to a Washington Free Beacon review of court records. Just four months after his release, Sydnor was arrested covered in blood at the scene of the slaying of Christy Bautista, 31, on April 1 and charged with first degree murder. Authorities say Sydnor broke in and stabbed Bautista at least 33 times with a kitchen knife. Biden nominated Staples in January 2021, and the Senate confirmed his appointment the following month. Thirty-eight Republicans voted against his confirmation.

EDUCATION INDOCTRINATION

Turley:  “WTF is Wrong with You”: Columbia Center and Law Students Protest Meeting With Justice Kavanaugh

Columbia University law students and alums are in an uproar over an Instagram post that showed students in the Federalist Society meeting with Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at the Court. It would ordinarily be a singular experience for law students to spend time with one of the nine justices. That is not how it went over at Columbia where some are outraged by the meeting and Columbia’s posting the picture on its social media account. The Empowering Women of Color group announced it was “withdrawing our participation from Columbia Law School recruiting events.” Columbia’s own Center for Engaged Pedagogy, simply declared “WTF is wrong with you.” […] That would seem precisely the type of opportunity that a premier law school seeks to make available to its students. However, Kavanaugh remains persona non grata due to his conservative jurisprudence and allegations from his confirmation hearings. It does not matter that Kavanaugh (who was later the subject of an assassination attempt) was never charged with any crime and vehemently denies the allegations of Christine Blasey Ford.

Kyrylenko: Shawn McBreairty: Fighting Against the Biblical Evil of CRT, Pornography in Public Schools

Shawn McBreairty, a Maine father of two, has been devoted to exposing anti-American divisive teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT), hyper-sexual content, and outright grooming in local public schools, which he believes is aimed at indoctrinating and corrupting American youth.

In this interview with The New American, Mr. McBreairty tells his story of becoming “America’s most dangerous dad” by exercising his First Amendment rights and speaking at the school board meetings against CRT. Eventually, the father discovered that schools exposed children as young as eleven to gay-sex porn, as well as other sexually explicit and LGBTQ content. At the same time, despite the enormous education budget of $3 billion, Maine K–12 students struggle academically like never before. “Ultimately, they [liberal school boards] want to destroy America with the next generation,” warned the activist father.

The final data published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday confirmed preliminary findings by the drug company last year. […]  The study released Wednesday said that while the shot was successful in preventing severe cases of the illness, it did not reach its goal of more effectively preventing non-severe cases of the virus. It also said there were no safety concerns identified in the vaccine.

TAKE ACTION

The Prickly Pear’s TAKE ACTION focus this year is to help achieve a winning 2024 national and state November 5th election with the removal of the Biden/Obama leftist executive branch disaster, win one U.S. Senate seat, maintain and win strong majorities in all Arizona state offices on the ballot and to insure that unrestricted abortion is not constitutionally embedded in our laws and culture.
