Pass the ammunition ...

Note: Send Email to the Editor to [email protected].

ONLY a bean counter could call keeping ammo production capability "wasteful"! ["U.S. massively ramps up ammo production, but there's one problem"] I wonder how they'd feel if/when our own war breaks out and WE don't have the capability to produce the ammo needed for defensive/offensive efforts, and our very existence is at stake.

I can just hear the cries now. If we can waste billions on BS programs, and fund countries that hate us, we can surely make sure that we possess the technology to provide for our own defense!

Derek Chauvin got what he deserved

I had always liked WND as a publication from the day I found out about you guys. However, I cannot believe this article was run ["Time to rethink the martyrdom of George Floyd"].

I am hoping it slipped through the cracks of the editorial cutting board or that it is published alongside various other recent takes about the George Floyd trial that I simply had not seen. Because the conclusions the writer draws are troubling to me.

To boot, while he is right that Black Lives Matter and others did swindle money on race relations, I think it is undeniable that Derek Chauvin and the other cops were completely in the wrong.

Chauvin, for instance, already had 18 counts against him and somehow was not fired despite other offiers being fired for the same conduct he had. He even had two reprimands. This wasn't some boy scout cop. He was a fast and loose officer.

But even more so, my cop friends literally told me that Chauvin was out of line. Anyone who watches the last 9 minutes of the footage could see that. While Floyd did not die because of Chauvin's conduct, Chauvin certainly helped.

You never EVER knee someone's neck like that. The back is one thing, but the neck is something else. My cop friends were all in agreement on that. There wasn't even a debate or discussion.

Jack Cashill's overarching point that Chauvin did not deserve to be charged because the "story changed" encourages readers to ignore their eyes and trust the documents instead.

Does my rifle need a health check?

Regarding the recent constitutional violation of the New Mexico governor, I would like to address her citing crime as justification for her action.

In July 1975, the Albuquerque Police Department went on strike. KOAT television news anchor Dick Knipfing announced that the pawn shops in Albuquerque had run out of handguns, while a later news item stated that crime was down 65%. It seems the governor doesn't remember that.

On the subject of concealed carry, in the 1970s Howard K Smith was telling the world we shouldn't allowed concealed firearms. He stated, "If a man is walking down the street with a shotgun, you would see it and leave him alone." Isn't that the point? Shouldn't everyone be respected and left alone? I think he just made the point for concealed carry.

As a toady for Joe Biden I believe Gov. Grisham is trying to incite civil unrest so martial law can be invoked and the future election can be suspended, which I think could lead to open rebellion.

True to being a typical liberal, the governor tried to tie the crime problem to a health issue. She may have hit something I was unaware of; my hunting success has dropped of the last few years. I thought it was because I'm 74 and have had some health issues that have limited my mobility and endurance, but it may be because I've not taken my rifle for a doctor's checkup for several years.

Are you dressed for eternity?

PETA used AI to rewrite a "more appealing," "cruelty-free Creation story." The Bible says, "The LORD God made coats of skins and clothed" Adam and Eve after they sinned (Genesis 3:21 KJV). In PETA's Genesis, God uses "plant fibers" because "a loving God would never endorse" killing animals.

"Shall mortal man be more just than God?" "Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct Him?" "Every word of God is pure. … Add thou not unto His words, lest … thou be found a liar" (Job 4:17; 40:2; Proverbs 30:5-6)!

Sin's penalty is "death." God's "coats of skins" show forth His love and only way of salvation. An innocent substitute died for the guilty (Genesis 2:17; Romans 6:23).

Divinely appointed Old Testament animal sacrifices prefigured the Lord Jesus Christ's "one sacrifice for sins." "Without shedding of blood is no" forgiveness for sins. Only "the precious blood of Christ," the "slain" "Lamb of God" "without blemish," satisfies God's justice and "wrath" against sin. "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son" to "die for sinners." "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain!" (John 1:29; 3:16,36; 14:6; Romans 3:23-26; 5:8-9; 1 Peter 1:19; 3:18; Hebrews 9:22; 10:4-14: Revelation 5:12)

The "coats" foreshadowed the only "garment of salvation" acceptable to God. Christ who was "without sin" was punished for our sins that "believing in Him" we might "have everlasting life" and be "clothed" and "covered" in His "robe of (perfect) righteousness." God "hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him" (Isaiah 61:10; Jeremiah 23:6; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15; Romans 13:14).

Adam and Eve's "fig-leaf" "aprons" (vegan) represent man's vain attempts to cover sin by religious activities, sacraments, good works, etc.. God declares "all our righteousnesses" "filthy rags." Everyone trusting in them will be cast into Hell (Genesis 3:7; Isaiah 64:6; Titus 3:4-6; Matthew 22:11-14).

"Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered" (Psalm 32:1-2; 85:2; Revelation 1:5-6).

How are you dressed for eternity?

Fighting the good fight

Joseph Farah, thank you so much for your great article about the Feast of Trumpets.

I enjoy so much learning about those things, and you're absolutely right: Christians have not been taught about these things.

And yet they are still very relevant to the Messiah.

I know that you're looking forward to hearing those blessed words, "Well done thou good and faithful servant!" Although He probably won't say thou!

God bless and keep up the good work fighting the good fight for truth and right! I'm praying for you folks there at WND.
