Matthew Boyle writes from Mobile for Breitbart:

Judge Roy Moore, the GOP nominee for the U.S. Senate here in Alabama, has rebounded and solidified his lead over radical Democrat Doug Jones with less than two weeks of campaigning to go, a new poll provided exclusively to Breitbart News shows.

The poll, conducted by Rick Shaftan of Atlantic Media and Research, shows Moore has picked up five points since the firm's last survey last week -- and that Jones has stagnated exactly where he was before. Moore, now at 48 percent, towers over Jones who is still stuck at 40 percent. The survey's numbers last week, weighted to an expectation of 27 percent black turnout -- an overestimation from what black turnout will likely be -- had Moore at 43 percent and Jones at 40 percent.

Additionally, if the survey data is not weighted for turnout, Shaftan wrote in a polling memo to donors obtained exclusively by Breitbart News, Moore’s lead hits well into the double digits.

It appears that what I wrote November 9 ("Is Roy Moore Finished?") is coming to pass: "Based on what we know, Roy Moore will not step down, and he will be elected U.S. senator from Alabama in some 4 weeks."

Michael W. Chapman reports at CNSNews.com:

Commenting on his new movie about a defense attorney whose ideals are tested at a new law firm, Academy Award winning actor Denzel Washington said the film did not change his views about justice in America, and when it comes to the so-called prison-industrial complex, he said the real factor is home life and two parents -- "It starts at home" and it "starts with how you raise your children."

In a Nov. 23 interview with the N.Y. Daily News,  when asked about the justice system and prison, Washington said, "It starts at home. It starts at home."

"If a young man doesn't have a father figure, he'll go find a father figure," Washington said, accoridng to CNSNews. 

"So, you know, I can't blame the system," Washington said. "It's unfortunate that we make such easy work for them."

The magic word here is: "Transgender." If that doesn't work: "Identify."

As Virginia Hale reports at Breitbart:

Male guides who "identify" as female will be allowed to shower with girls during camping trips, Girlguiding UK literature has revealed.

Official guidance distributed by the organisation, which applies to Girl Guides between the ages of five and 25, tells guide leaders to let "transgender" members share changing rooms, toilets, tents, and cabins with girls while away on excursions.

This move inside the U.K. reveals a tremendously weak inner core in aspects of its cultural character. Which does not bode well.

Survivability and sustainability depend upon maintaining connections with space-time reality, including the physical and biological facts of life.

As the insanity of rejecting the basic physical facts of life continues, and more and more people climb onboard this train of the insane, the U.K. as a culture and a nation will be ripe for the picking.

Try getting to and from work today while ignoring the basic facts of life and see how that goes.

We're witnessing a secularist fanaticism that can weaken and bring down any body politic.

Individuals will suffer. Communities and nations will suffer.

At a certain point, all it may take is an opposing society somewhat more connected to reality to gently tap the walls of the kingdom and watch the kingdom come tumbling down.

Or maybe just a few dogs down the street will do in the kingdom. Folks, we're talking about some very low hanging fruit.

P.S. -- In regard to secularist alienation and transgenderism, "Transgender, Transreality" (chapter 6 of Nancy Pearcey's new book Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions About Life and Sexuality) may be a helpful resource.

Love Thy Body is set for publication Jan. 2, 2018, and can be pre-ordered. Here is a press release.

On Oct. 3, 1789, "at the request of both Houses of Congress," George Washington, the first president of the United States, by proclamation assigned Nov. 26, 1789, as "a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God," who is "that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be."

What follows is the unabridged text of Washington's Thanksgiving proclamation. To see the text below in his handwriting, please go here:

By the President of the United States of America.
a Proclamation.

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor—and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness."

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be—That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks—for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation—for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war—for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed—for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted—for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions—to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually—to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed—to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord—To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us—and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand at the City of New-York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

[Signed] G. Washington

Brian Flood reports at Fox News:

Fox News announced on Tuesday that nationally syndicated radio talk show personality Mark Levin will join the network with a weekly, weekend primetime show titled, "Life, Liberty & Levin."

"Mark's passion for the principles found in the Constitution and success in talk radio has made him a distinct figure in the media landscape. We look forward to adding this spirited program to our weekend lineup," Fox News President of Programming Suzanne Scott said.

Levin's hour-long show will air on Sunday nights at 10 p.m. ET and is scheduled to debut in February. It will explore the fundamental values and principles undergirding American society, culture, politics, and current events, and their relevance to the nation's future and everyday lives of citizens.

"I am honored to join Fox News, a network I have enjoyed appearing on as a guest for quite some time. As a proud citizen of the United States, I am delighted to share the significance of American values with such a wide audience and look forward to engaging with important guests about crucial topics," Levin said, Flood reports.

Elizabeth Harrington writes at Free Beacon:

Scientists are once again sounding the alarm that humans are destroying the planet, and we're heading towards a "mass extinction event."

"We the undersigned, senior members of the world's scientific community, hereby warn all humanity of what lies ahead," wrote over 15,000 scientists from 184 countries—an irrelevant fact to make it sound like a consensus. "A great change in our stewardship of the earth and the life on it, is required, if vast human misery is to be avoided and our global home on this planet is not to be irretrievably mutilated."

Sounds dire. But don't worry, they're always wrong. . . .

Jeff Poor reports at Breitbart:  

On Thursday surrounded by supporters, former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore went on offense at an event titled #StandWithRoyMoore, with the media and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as his targets.

Moore attacked The Washington Post, an outlet that first highlighted allegations of sexual misconduct aimed at him. He insisted those accusations were false and declared that the Post was "certainly not evidence." . . .

"Many of you have recognized that this is an effort by Mitch McConnell and his cronies to steal this election from the people of Alabama, and they will not stand for it," Moore said at the event, Poor writes.

"They overcame $30 million and voted me in the primary. And now they are trying a different tactic," Moore said.

"They even, well, the other day we got one big magazine that you all recognize if I say the name -- I don’t want to say it, but they got a call that said asked me to step down from the campaign.

"Well, I want to tell you who needs to step down: That’s Mitch McConnell," Moore declared.

Jeffrey Lord: Roy Moore's Future up to Alabamians
Is Roy Moore Finished?

Leeann Tweeden writes at KABC.com:

In December of 2006, I embarked on my ninth USO Tour to entertain our troops, my eighth to the Middle East since the 9/11 attacks. My father served in Vietnam and my then-boyfriend (and now husband, Chris) is a pilot in the Air Force, so bringing a "little piece of home" to servicemembers stationed far away from their families was both my passion and my privilege . . . .

On the day of the show Franken and I were alone backstage going over our lines one last time. He said to me, "We need to rehearse the kiss." I laughed and ignored him. Then he said it again. I said something like, "Relax Al, this isn't SNL . . . we don't need to rehearse the kiss."

He continued to insist, and I was beginning to get uncomfortable.

"He repeated that actors really need to rehearse everything and that we must practice the kiss," Tweeden continues.

"I said 'OK' so he would stop badgering me. We did the line leading up to the kiss and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth."

Tweeden says she "immediately pushed him away with both of my hands against his chest and told him if he ever did that to me again I wouldn't be so nice about it the next time."

After that, "I walked away. All I could think about was getting to a bathroom as fast as possible to rinse the taste of him out of my mouth.

"I felt disgusted and violated. . . "

Unfortunately, there is more to this story.

Jeffrey Lord: Roy Moore's Future up to Alabamians
Is Roy Moore Finished?

Cathy Burke reports at Newsmax:

Roy Moore's political future should remain in the hands of the voters of Alabama, columnist and commentator Jeffrey Lord told Newsmax TV on Tuesday.

In an interview with Newsmax Hour host Bill Tucker, the American Spectator columnist and former associate political director during the Reagan administration compared the allegations against Moore with those against former President Bill Clinton.

"This is a decision for the people of Alabama, and all the rest of us can talk until we're blue in the face," Lord said, adding "just sit back and let them make it."

But if members of Congress are so upset with Moore, they should consider a resolution "that condemns Bill and Hillary Clinton and calls for an investigation" into past allegations of sexual misconduct by the former president "and the larger issue of sexual harassment."

"Do all of that and see how many of these senators and members of the House really are willing to put their money where their mouth is and investigate," Lord said, according to Newsmax.

Actual Disgrace, Fake News: Judge Roy Moore & Real Scandal in Alabama Senate
Is Roy Moore Finished? Alabama Senate Favorite Slams WPost Sex Accusations: "Completely False and Desperate"

In his "Defense of Roy Moore," Frank Tipler at American Thinker goes back to the square one -- and the Corrupt D.C.-Hollywood-Campus-Media Establishment isn't going to like Tipler's avowal regarding the "only moral choice" in this matter.

Tipler writes: "If one reads the original Washington Post article on Judge Moore's supposed harassment of underage 'girls' with an open mind, one will conclude that Judge Moore is completely innocent, and that he is the victim of Fake News."

By the way, Moore announced just yesterday evening plans to sue the Washington Post and that "we expect the people of Alabama to see through this charade."

So, yes, something smells scandalously rotten in Alabama. Selwyn Duke notes in American Thinker that the strench arises from environs rather different from those of the Judge.

In "The Real Scandal in the Alabama Senate Race," Duke writes: "If I lived in Alabama, on December 12 I'd vote for Judge Roy Moore while holding my nose -- but only because the stench from Doug Jones' name would be rising right from the ballot."

My prediction: "Based on what we know, Roy Moore will not step down, and he will be elected U.S. senator from Alabama in some 4 weeks."

Is Roy Moore Finished?

Paul Gottfried at Frontpagemag.com counters "Raymond Ibrahim's bizarre version of the blame game." Gottfried writes:

In one of the stranger manifestations of misguided Catholic piety or repugnance for the Protestant Reformation, being exhibited on the occasion of its 500^th anniversary, Raymond Ibrahim reveals a bizarre version of the blame game. In "The Pro-Islamic West: Born 500 Years Ago," he places the blame for Muslim Turkish expansion across Eastern and Central Europe in the sixteenth century at the doorstep of Martin Luther. If this wayward monk had not nailed his ninety-five theses to the door of the Wittenberg cathedral on October 31, 1517, and had not launched a rebellion against the Roman Church, the Muslim danger supposedly could have been contained. Not only did Luther and his followers weaken the unity of the Christian West, but also gave support to the Muslim penetration of Europe. While the Turkish army moved from Hungary westward toward Vienna, Luther was urging "passivity" before the hostile invaders and, according to Ibrahim, implicitly and explicitly aiding the Turks by weakening the resolve of Christian Europe. Indeed, had this Protestant pestilence not erupted, European Catholics could have mounted a new crusade and thrown back the Turks before they laid siege to Vienna in 1529.

"There are so many holes in this anti-Protestant brief that one hardly knows where to begin one's criticism," Gottfried states.

"Although Luther called for 'prayer and repentance' before the onslaught of the 'Devil’s army,' which is the way he referred to the Turkish forces advancing across Europe, he nonetheless urged Protestant princes to rush to the relief of Vienna, when it was under siege," Gottfried continues.

Luther "did not urge 'passivity' in the face of this civilizational crisis," Gottfried asserts, "Indeed, Luther was willing to join forces with Catholic princes, even though they were killing and expelling his followers, in order to combat the 'Devil’s army'."

Fox News reports:

Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore on Thursday adamantly denied a Washington Post report on a woman who claims the former judge and staunch social conservative initiated a sexual encounter with her when she was 14 -- allegations that have rocked the race in the final stretch. . . .

The Post interviewed three other women who were teenagers at the time who claimed Moore pursued them when he was in his 30s, though he did not force them into any type of sexual relationship.

"Rocked the race"? I don't think so. Trying to rock the race? OK. But that's a far different matter altogether.

A couple of thoughts. First, this is interesting timing, don't you think? With election day looming December 12 and Roy Moore still polling double-digits ahead of his opponent, these allegations are surely a coincidence.

Or it could be that the post-American D.C. establishment is clawing and throwing double-digit sinks and maybe a little bit desperate to hold onto money and power and authority and control? Over us.

Roy Moore appears to be the kind of guy to mess up that machine.

Second, let's see the evidence. To borrow from Christopher Hitchens, if we are expected to condemn Roy Moore apart from evidence, we can just as easily -- and more rationally (innocent until proven guilty) -- not condemn Roy Moore in the absence of evidence.

Without evidence, a "bombshell" becomes a dud. Sizzle becomes drizzle. Your parade is hereby rained upon.

Meanwhile, the Moore campaign rejects these allegations. "National liberal organizations know their chosen candidate Doug Jones is in a death spiral, and this is their last ditch Hail Mary," says Moore campaign chairman Bill Armistead, according to Fox News.

"Judge Roy Moore is winning with a double-digit lead," Armistead continues, "so it is no surprise, with just over four weeks remaining, in a race for the U.S. Senate with national implications, that the Democratic Party and the country's most liberal newspaper would come up with a fabrication of this kind."

For his part, Moore rejects the accusations as a "completely false and a desperate political attack," Fox News reports. So don't start break-dancing on Roy Moore's political grave too soon, Mitch McConnell.

Listen up, Out-of-Touch, Alienated D.C. Establishment: Americans are growing evermore wise to pretend "reporters" and media activists and their not-so-hidden role as the propaganda corps of an oppressive, post-American, contra-constitutional globalist ruling class.

Now, a prediction: Based on what we know, Roy Moore will not step down, and he will be elected U.S. senator from Alabama in some 4 weeks.

Liberals will gnash teeth, but America will rejoice.

One more thing: If elected, Roy Moore will outlast Mitch McConnell in the U.S. Senate. Alabama that.

Jessica Chasmar reports at the Washington Times:

A racist incident at the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School that triggered a viral speech by the superintendent telling bigoted cadets to "get out" has been deemed a hoax.

In September, racial slurs were found written on the dormitory message boards of five black cadet candidates at the prep school in Colorado Springs, sparking an investigation. The incident prompted a fiery speech by the school's superintendent, Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria, who said cadets who can't treat others with respect should leave.

The school said Tuesday that one of the five cadet candidates has since admitted to writing the slurs himself. . . .

So, there was no racist incident.

A lot of noise, a lot lies, but no racist incident.

A lot of chest-beating, a lot of division, but no racist incident.

A lot of media coverage, a lot of finger-pointing, but no racist incident.

But I will say this:

Any person of any color who thinks the color of his skin releases him from telling the truth in regard to any matter, including race relations, that person at that point is a racist. 

Now go out there and be a human. That'd be a real alternative to the BLMKKK.

BLM Supporter Murders Cop -- Former Navy SEAL Who Babysat Black Man's Children

That's right. Tolerant, civil, welcoming Hollywood strikes again. See the story at CNSNews.com.

By the way, actor Wil Wheaton, who speaks so eloquently of Rep. Ryan, is an atheist (according to the extremist, non-free-thinking, constitutionally confused group aka the Freedom From Religion Foundation).

If Wil Wheaton is an atheist, his is a false consciousness reportedly shared with Texas church massacre killer Devin Patrick Kelley.

Speaking of prayer, note that the Bible nowhere indicates that prayer is a substitute for human action per se. Nor is it a magic wand that creates safety upon command.

In fact, prayer is one form of human action (communicating with the Creator), and there many other forms of human action -- including picking up a gun to defend oneself against mass killers who preach and practice atheism.

In addition, the information given in the Biblical data is that life on this planet is now fallen and broken, such that it is a war zone, a battlefield, where evil is real and operative in all aspects of life -- and yet abnormal to the way things ought to be. 

This is why it makes sense to overcome the abnormality of evil with the primordial normativity of good.

This includes the good of living in loving, liberating community with our verifiable Creator and with our neighbors -- in no way to be confused with blind "faith" -- and it includes the good of resisting with appropriate force those who seek to destroy that community.

The last thing a murdering human-hater and God-hater wants to see is a good guy with a prayer and a gun.

Grace Carr reports at the Daily Caller:

Megachurch pastor Carl Lentz refused to give a clear answer on whether or not abortion is sinful during an interview on "The View."

"Some people would say" abortion is a sin, the Hillsong pastor said in response to host Joy Behar's question about his church's beliefs, according to Life News. "That's the kind of conversation we would have finding out your story, where you're from, what you believe. . . . I mean, God's the judge. People have to live to their own convictions. That's such a broad question, to me, I’m going higher."

So sad. Speaking of God, Jesus didn't quite say: "You shall live your own convictions and your own convictions shall set you free."

Hillsong, you may have a fake pastor on your hands. Instead of speaking truth to media power, he tucked tail and ran.

What's is that he said? Oh, yes: "Going higher." Right.

By "going higher," you can skidaddle from the field of battle and still feel good about yourself and "your own convictions."

Leading from behind! Advancing in reverse! Because "I'm going higher!"

Secular tail wagging "Christian" dog. See Carl jump!

And who am I to judge, especially when my answer could upset the girls? Look! Pastor Megachurch is on TV! And when they say, 'Jump!' he says, 'How high?'"

World gotta love that. Ho' lotta megachurch love.

CNN's Jake Tapper, who is already dealing with humiliating ratings and a reputation implosion, decided to put on a public spectacle Wednesday over the criticism of his blatantly inappropriate and misleading comments surrounding the Islamic cry of "Allahu Akbar."

In the immediate aftermath of Tuesday's terror attack, the worst in New York City since September 11, 2001, for some bizarre reason, Tapper felt the self-righteous need to say this: "The Arabic chant, Allahu Akbar, God is great, sometimes said under the most beautiful of circumstances, and too often we hear it being said in moments like this. . . ."
