Donald Trump has been inaugurated as president of the United States for the second time. While there may be surface political change and new political dynamics, what about the state of civilisation?

As wildfires rage across southern California, anger against Democrats’ mismanagement is burning brightly. California Republicans have blasted Newsom for focusing on opposing President-elect Donald Trump instead of the fires.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is part of the bigger (and badder) world of transhumanism and the like. All this is making brave new world scenarios a present-day reality, not a potential future worry.

While Republican federal employees will “overwhelmingly” support the incoming Trump administration, most Democratic federal employees say they would oppose it.

Robin Millhouse, the main architect of South Australia's abortion reform laws, expressed the burden he carried for being part of that reform. “I deeply regret that the medical profession — and the lawyers — interpreted the law too widely. It has become abortion on demand. I did not intend it to be that.”

Whether he realised it or not, Federal Court judge Peter Tree has laid the responsibility for the continued use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones on children — despite increasing international caution — firmly at the feet of the New South Wales Government. 

The Western church has placed such stringent conditions on civil disobedience that it's difficult to imagine any situation that meets the standard. Scripture paints a different picture.

With the federal election looming, the already heated debate over Australia’s energy future is set to intensify. Both parties’ energy models are seriously flawed. But when we fix those flaws, nuclear comes out cheaper than renewables.

It appears a humble loving Christian youth ministry has been far more successful in tackling youth crime than politicians and bureaucrats who’ve invested tens of millions of dollars — possibly hundreds of millions — in trying to reduce one of Australia’s fastest-growing social problems.

It is quite likely that the October 7, 2023 terror assault would never have occurred if Trump was in the White House back then. All this is part of a global civilisational war that is taking place. And it in large measure involves political Islam versus the free West.

At least 27 victims have perished in the fires blazing across the Los Angeles area. Roughly 31 people are missing. A “silver lining to this tragedy,” Perkins emphasised, is that it “shakes people out of this idea that … these delusional policies of the Left are harmless.”

In a world where the voiceless are often ignored, the unborn are among the most vulnerable. Over 80,000 lives are lost annually to abortion in Australia alone — a statistic that demands both our attention and action.

Given Albanese's warm welcome of Bill Gates to Australia, it would appear the Australian Prime Minister is less concerned about election interference by foreign elites than the political leanings of those elites.

Stalwart, unwoke, and unashamed Christian conservatives Mel Gibson, Jon Voight, and Sylvester Stallone will be Donald Trump’s entertainment envoys. Giving his nod of approval, Trump implied the talented trio would herald a Hollywood revival.

In another sign that the anti-woke movement is only gaining steam, even conservative shareholders are getting off the sidelines and into the fight. There’ve been a number of conservative foot soldiers working day in and day out for decades to stem the tide of extreme politics on Wall Street.

Reports surfaced Tuesday that Israel is on the cusp of reaching a deal with the terrorist group Hamas that would include terms for a ceasefire and the release of some of the Israeli hostages captured on October 7, 2023.

Late last year, Joshua Stylman, a husband, father, entrepreneur and investor from the US state of New York, penned a thought-provoking piece for the Brownstone Institute: "From Marcus Aurelius to Omar Little: A Man’s Code is Vital".

Our thankfulness to God for who He is, and what He has already done, provides a wonderful foundation for all the prayers we will yet pray.

We are the empowered ones to take up the battle to see an end to abortion. It takes courage and unity to not give up but to listen to the Lord’s strategy — to abide in Him asking for wisdom, knowing that the timing of the destruction of the enemies’ work is in God’s timing.

Last Wednesday night, the Canberra Declaration officially launched our 21 days of prayer and fasting for life (the unborn). Each year in Australia, about the same number of people are lost to abortion as all the wars we've ever been involved in. This is a tragedy of tragedies.
