Hardening the Southern Border (The Status Quo Has Changed), by Michael Swartz

By Michael Swartz, Patriot Post - The new presence of Stryker combat vehicles, which will be deployed along the Roosevelt Reservation, is already having a striking effect. “Ever since the Stryker came into play, we see more turn-backs than anything,” stated Sgt. 1st Class Carlos Zamora. Added Post reporter Dan Lamothe, “Such hardware typically is reserved for missions overseas.

Fr. Kevin Drew: Follow Your King into the Holy City

Fr. Kevin Drew, Catholic Exchange - Christ began His final trek into Jerusalem from Bethany, two miles to the east of the city, just on the other side of the Mount of Olives. He had been staying out in the wilderness, but now the King makes His triumphant entry into His Holy City... Why had Christ been staying east of town, in the wilderness? Because He had just performed His greatest miracle. He raised Lazarus, buried in a tomb for four days, from the dead. That happened in Bethany, and since it was so close to Jerusalem, word got out all over the city. The gospels tell us that many pilgrims, upon hearing of Lazarus’ raising wanted to see Jesus. And the Jewish leaders? They wanted to kill Jesus. ....
