About WCN Wisconsin Christian News represents a cooper- ative effort by active Christians from all walks of life. In our pages and on our website, you will find Infor- mation, Education and Inspiration, with a majority of the articles written by members of our “WCN Fam- ily” of contributors. There is something of interest to every member of the family. We hope you are blessed and become a regular reader. WCN seeks, at all times, to publish the TRUTH, regardless of “political correctness,” standing up for America’s historical Christian heritage and urging a return to biblical, moral standards. We offer very thought-provoking commentary, inspired teach- ing, real life testimonies, world, national, state and regional news, plus advice and information from experts in their areas of business and ministry -- all in the various sections of our 48-page newspa- per. In addition to providing valuable content to the Christian community, we focus equally on reach- ing those who are lost and seeking, and those who may have been alienated from church as an institution in the past. You’ll find WCN on the racks in the lobbies of grocery stores, family restaurants, shopping centers and malls and most Christian book stores. Of course, you can also find a copy at many of our “Ministry Partner” advertisers’ business and ministry locations. This is our outreach to the mar- ketplace, and we receive many wonderful testi- monies from people who have found the Lord for the first time, or returned to Him, after many years away, after finding our newspaper in a public place. Our Doctrinal Statement • There is one God, who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. • Jesus Christ is true God and true man. He was
• The Church consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church, which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the gospel to all na- tions. The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for the worship of God, for edification through the Word of God, for prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the gospel, and observance of the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper. • There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life; for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment. • The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal, visible, and pre-mil- lennial. This is the believer’s blessed hope and is a vital truth which is an incentive to holy living and faithful service. All viewpoints expressed in Wisconsin Christian News are those of the authors and do not nec- essarily represent the viewpoint of the publishers. We reserve the right to edit or refuse any articles, based upon content, length, value and source requirements.
conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood. He died, was buried and arose from the dead ac- cording to the Scriptures. He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high as our great High Priest. He will come again to establish His kingdom of right- eousness and peace. • The Holy Spirit is sent to indwell, guide, teach, empower the believer, and convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. • The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as origi- nally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice. • Man was originally created in the image and like- ness of God; he fell through disobedience, incurring, thereby, both physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature, are separated from the love of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. • Salvation has been made available through Jesus Christ for all men; those who repent and be- lieve in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and become the children of God. • It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly, being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service. This is both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent to conversion. • Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mor- tal body. Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures and are privileges for the church in the present age.

The Door Of Opportunity Is Open
By Jim Schneider, Executive Director, VCY America January 2025
When a door was opened, Paul took full advantage of the opportunity. He never knew how long that door would remain opened. He was fully aware that it is only the Gospel of Christ that can truly change the heart of man. Paul also recognized that along with the open door, opposition was also lurking. “For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.” (I Corinthians 16:9). Indeed, there were those who would seek to hinder in any way possible the message of the gospel being furthered. Paul suffered antagonism, rebuke, false accusa- tions, beatings and even imprisonment under the political and religious system he lived. “Withal pray- ing also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds.” (Colossians 4:3). As we spread the Good News, we do so recognizing that there will be those who oppose our actions, who oppose our speech, and who oppose the very message we must advance. Such will be the case as we go through life. But we must realize our door is open even wider than Paul’s door. In the United States, we do not live in constant threat of physical peril for sharing the Gospel and thus it behooves us to persevere while there is opportunity, while the door is open. In listening to Christian constitutional lawyers over the past 12 months, they have indicated to me that we are living in a time when religious liberty in the United States is seeing many victories. Why then are we not taking advantage of these times? Why are we trying to close the door that is sitting wide open for us? As we begin a New Year, let us recognize that the door of opportunity is open. The question is, will we advance the Gospel to a needy world, or will we squander the occasion? Let each of us commit afresh to be the ambassador God has called us to be before this door is closed! VCY.org
As we approached last year’s presidential and congressional election, our nation was at a cross- roads. Were we going to forsake the founding prin- ciples of our nation and forge ahead toward socialism? Or, were we going to change the trajec- tory we have been headed over recent years and re- turn to embrace our Constitutional principles? Certainly, much was at stake (and still is). Most notable to many in Christian ministry is the First Amendment and the protection of a free press, free speech, the right to assemble and the free exercise of religion. Our nation was quickly advancing toward forcing medical providers to violate their conscience and par- ticipate in abortion, the intentional killing of pre-born babies. Further, there was a push to force physicians beyond their conscience objection to participate in permanent body mutilating procedures on minors who are gender confused. It was not only those in the medical profession. The corporate world was quickly advancing mandatory compliance with their DEI policies. This was coupled with mandatory compliance of those in education to teach curriculum that denies simple biology and to accept by their speech and actions, policies in direct conflict with the teachings of Scripture. The implications of this past election go well beyond just these matters. Increased hostility has been launched against Christianity. A school board in Canyon Independent School District, located in Texas, recently made known their action to ban the Bible from library shelves to comply with a state law which bans books with “sexually explicit” content. Thankfully, after an outcry, this decision was soon reversed. But it will not be the last attempt. How long will it be before Christian broadcast sta- tions are prevented from proclaiming the whole coun- sel of God over the airwaves? How long before local pastors will be required to turn over their sermons before delivering them to their congregation? If you think this is impossible or “over the top,” keep in mind it had already been attempted in Houston,
Texas.
There are ongoing attempts to stop “Good News Clubs” in schools, to prevent coaches from praying on the 50-yard line after a game, to cease any men- tion of God (except for cursing) in the public arena, and to force businessmen and women to use their tal- ents to accommodate aberrant and sinful lifestyle choices. While these attacks unfold, and continue to do so in the future, we must recognize this is no time to cower in a corner, or to be secretive in our Christian- ity. For the most part, this is what has brought these problems to this point. The Church, the body of be- lievers in Jesus Christ, must take an unwavering stand. The role of the Christian is not to “go with the flow” and just “blend in,” but to be ambassadors for Jesus Christ. We have become perilously close to going the direc- tion other nations have in clamping down on religious liberty. What is happening in several European countries ought to be a warning to us as to what may happen in the future. Now, while this door of oppor- tunity is open, more than ever the Gospel must be furthered. The apostle Paul recognized the critical importance of an open door in the work of the ministry. “Further- more, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,” (II Corinthians 2:12).

You’re Not ‘Giving Up’ Anything
By Rob Pue January 2025 In my younger days, I couldn’t imagine living
It’s about this time of year that many people take stock of their lives and through personal in- trospection, make plans for positive changes. It
in his heart, so is he.” And Paul wrote, “...be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
in the year 2025. It sounded so futur- istic. Still does. But here we all are...and still without the flying cars that Popular Mechanics promised were just around the corner back in 1969. In elementary school, our teacher once gave us an assignment to draw a pic- ture of what the year 2000 would look like. If I recall, mine included big satel- lite dishes on homes. I have no idea what I thought they’d be used for — they just looked futuristic to me, and I assumed they’d have a very important purpose. Now it seems ridiculous that these have already become outdated technology and were mainly used by consumers to watch television.
We may be motivated to make posi- tive changes in our lives on December 31st. In fact, many people assemble their list of resolutions all throughout the previous year and have great in- tentions to make those changes when the new year arrives. They’re moti- vated. They understand these are good and positive things. But motiva- tion fluctuates. It doesn’t remain a steady, solid rock we can depend on. One day our motivation may be at a peak, the next day not so much, and some days we have no motivation at all.
Last year was a strange one. As a nation, we learned even more about how we’ve been lied to for so long regarding so many things, and just how corrupt our government and so-called “jus- tice system” really is. It was a year filled with tension, perhaps purposely imposed upon us by the Regime and the mainstream media. One cri- sis after another. One scare after another, one impending disaster after another, to keep us all frightened, worried and dependent upon the Almighty State. When will we learn that most of the things we worry about never happen any- way? And now in 2025, many are hopeful for all that’s been wrong, bad and evil in our country and around the world to be made right — re- solved. Many hope and pray for America to be restored. We’re all ready for change, ready for real justice and righteousness to reign in our land. But we need to understand that nothing good can come unless the people of God repent and return to Him first. “For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?” (1 Peter 4:17). Now is the time for us to finally take 2 Chron- icles 7:14 seriously. “If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Just imagine what this new year would look like if we finally put actions behind those words we quote so often. It all begins with us, as individuals. Individual members of God’s Church. By “Church,” I mean the “Ecclesia,” the “called out ones.” Those who are real, genuine Christ-followers. I certainly am not referring to any specific denomination or any building. I’m talking about us as individu- als, as husbands and wives, as families, as true children of God.
would help if we also sought the Lord in fervent prayer and study of His Word, to align our will with His. It’s precisely because so many don’t seek the Lord, pray or ask Him what His will is for our lives that so many New Years Resolutions fail within days. Many begin each new year with lofty, and well- intentioned goals. Among the most common: people desperately want to lose weight, stop smoking, stop drinking, save money, stop wast- ing time on fruitless endeavors, improve their marriages, be better parents — and some even resolve to read and study the Bible daily in the New Year. Several years ago, I had a gym membership. I was diligent to make time to exercise daily, and at one point it was common for me to make a point of walking fifteen miles in a day, a few days each week. I’d start off in the gym, then hike some trails, and end the day with more walking on the treadmill at the gym. I coupled this with a change in my eating habits, and since that time I’ve lost seventy pounds. I cringe now, when I see old photos of myself, morbidly obese. But that change didn’t happen overnight. It took work, a change of behavior and taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Many begin the new year with good intentions, but motivation isn’t automatic and tends to come and go. And there’s nothing “magical” about the calendar rolling over to January 1st. I remember when I had my gym membership, I would avoid the place entirely the first week or so of every new year, because it was always packed with New Years’ Resolvers. But 3-5 days into the new year, things were usually back to normal, as those New Years Resolutions of so many fell by the wayside. So, let’s talk about New Year Resolutions for a bit. Webster’s 1828 dictionary defines the word “Resolve,” as “To confirm; to fix in constancy.” And also, “To fix in opinion or purpose; to deter-
So, motivation alone is a good thing to get us started on our aspirations, but it’s not enough. Some think they just need to have more willpower, but willpower won’t get the job done for you either. When it comes to correcting our undesirable behaviors, or even besetting sins, we can be very motivated to do that and start off with great willpower, but eventually we’ll always take the path of least resistance. Willpower requires us to deny ourselves those things we still believe are “precious” in our minds. You can use willpower to deny yourself something you think you still want for a little while, but it soon becomes a tremendous burden and source of stress. If you’re trying to stop eat- ing junk food, stop smoking or drinking or over- come some other vice — and you still believe in your heart that those things are doing some- thing positive for you — your willpower will give out and the addiction will win every time. On the other hand, if you become transformed by the renewing of your mind, you don’t need willpower. You don’t need willpower NOT to do something you have no desire to do. Let me re- peat that, because you missed it: You do not need willpower NOT to do something you have no desire to do. Let me give you an example. If you struggle with alcohol, and a glass of bleach is set in front of you, you have no desire to drink it. Why? Because you know you don’t want it. You know it would be harmful to you, and you choose to live rather than drink poison. So, it doesn’t take willpower not to drink it. Well, al- cohol is poison too. We weren’t meant to con- sume it. The source of all addictions is the deception that we’ve trained our minds to believe we “need” something we’ve become accustomed to. Those struggling with alcohol likely began as young people. At first, they hated it. It made them sick, dizzy and probably caused vomiting. But they persisted, perhaps out of peer pressure, or to socialize, or to appear “cool” to their friends. The teenager on his knees, sweating profusely and vomiting into the toilet never envisioned himself drinking the stuff for a lifetime, and de- pending on it for stress relief or “self-medica- tion.” They never imagined it would take control of them, and they’d struggle with that addiction all their lives. But that’s how it starts, and it’s up to you whether or not it ends, so you can be healthy and strong as God intended, or if you re- main a slave to the addiction. Continued on Page 7

Here’s Why Joe Biden Gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros
By Tyler O’Neil, The Daily Signal January 2 0 2 5
Yet it makes a perverse amount of sense that Biden would grant Soros the highest civilian honor — not be- cause the billionaire has funded a movement that puts Americans in danger but because his massive funding net- work enabled Biden’s allies to implement their radical agenda through the administrative state.
forcement to refer to illegal aliens by their preferred pro- nouns. The administration opened the border after groups like the Center for American Progress urged bureaucrats to transform the Department of Homeland Security into a welcome mat for illegals. Biden signed an election execu- tive order that had effectively been written by the activist group Demos, and then the administration brought in Demos to help implement it! Soros’ fingerprints — along with those of his son — are all over these and other efforts to push woke ideology in the federal government. The Open Society Foundations had funneled mil- lions to the Center for American Progress, a hub of left-wing advocacy and woke influence in the fed- eral government. Different arms of the Open Soci- ety Foundations have funded Demos, the LGBTQ activist group the Human Rights Campaign, and the Southern Poverty Law Center, among many others. Biden’s decision to honor Tim Gill also echoes this woke funding. Gill has poured millions into the LGBTQ activist movement, including in an effort to prevent social conservatives from opting out of cel- ebrating same-sex weddings. “We’re going to punish the wicked,” Gill told Rolling Stone in 2017. After the 2015 Supreme Court decision Obergefell v. Hodges legalized same-sex marriage across the coun- try, Gill turned his activism apparatus against religious freedom restoration acts and toward a legal mentality that would penalize Christians, and anyone else in business, who refuse to participate in a same-sex wedding. Gill’s mentality echoes the Human Rights Campaign, which uses a Corporate Equality Index to shame compa- nies into taking extreme LGBTQ stances that alienate cus- tomers (see Target and Bud Light in 2023). When HRC asked the Biden administration to jump via a set of policy recommendations in 2021, the bureaucrats effectively re- sponded by asking, “How high?” It also echoes the Southern Poverty Law Center, which suggests mainstream conservative and Christian nonprof- its are similarly hateful to the Ku Klux Klan. The SPLC has put religious freedom groups like Alliance Defending Free- dom on a “hate map” alongside KKK chapters, and SPLC leaders have advised the Biden administration in combat- ting “domestic terrorism.” The vast network of woke NGOs Soros props up have enabled Biden to seed his far-left ideology throughout the federal government, and President-elect Donald Trump has his work cut out for him if he wants to root this out. By awarding Soros this honor, Biden is rewarding one of his most influential ideological allies — a fitting, if disgust- ing, final chapter for this far-left administration.
President Joe Biden rewarded one of the Left’s most in- fluential and notorious donors January 4, giving the Pres- idential Medal of Freedom to George Soros. The White House announced the honor in a list of 19 re- cipients, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and LGBTQ megadonor Tim Gill. Biden framed Soros’ funding as philanthropy in service of “democracy” and “social justice.” “George Soros is an investor, philanthropist, and founder of the Open Society Foundations,” the White House explained. “Through his network of foundations, partners and projects in more than 120 countries, Soros has focused on global initia- tives that strengthen democracy, human rights, education, and social justice.” Soros, a Hungarian-American billionaire in- vestor, has funneled more than $15.2 billion through his Open Society Foundations (now run by his son Alex), which has awarded more than 50,000 grants worldwide, according to the World Economic Forum. Soros bankrolled the “rogue prosecutor” soft-on-crime movement by funding the campaigns of local prosecutors who oppose the death penalty and use prosecutorial dis- cretion to avoid charging crimes they consider minor. Cully Stimson, deputy director of the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation, and Zack Smith, a senior legal fellow at Her- itage, have extensively exposed this movement and how it has emboldened criminals by enabling them to avoid prosecution. Their book, “Rogue Prosecutors: How Radical Soros Lawyers Are Destroying America’s Communities,” was released in 2023. Crime rates have spiked across the country, particularly in Democrat-led cities, where murder rates have in- creased.
My forthcoming book “The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government,” reveals how Soros, his son, and other major left-wing donors prop up a vast network of woke activist groups that staff and advise the federal government. Why does this matter? As the Competitive Enterprise Institute pointed out, during calendar year 2023, agencies in the federal government issued 3,018 rules, while Con- gress only enacted 68 laws, many of them ceremonial. In other words, agencies issued 44 rules for every law en- acted by Congress. While the Constitution gives the peo- ple’s elected representatives in Congress the ability to make law, the administrative state issues far more rules that impact Americans’ daily lives. Activist groups bankrolled through Soros’ Open Society
Foundations have worked to remake the federal gov- ernment in the image of pink-haired college stu- dents steeped in gender studies and protesting Is- rael on campus. The Biden administration has kowtowed to gender ideology, rewriting federal education law to force schools to allow boys in girls’ restrooms and even directing federal law en-

You’re Not ‘Giving Up’ Anything

cious enemy that wants you sick and dead. So now go — trample Satan and his schemes under your feet. Freedom awaits you, but go with God because you can’t do
this alone. “Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you.” Email: Rob@WisconsinChristianNews.com Phone: ( 7 1 5) 4 8 6- 8 066
All addictions are the re- sult of “wanting.” Wanting something we’ve trained our brains to think we need, after indulging in it for so many years. We all want to feel good; we all want pleasure rather than pain. We all want to feel connection — to our- selves and others. We want acceptance, valida- tion, assurance, and se- curity. And we all want to be loved. So rather than fuel your New Years Resolution with willpower, when the temptation comes to indulge in more of what you know you no longer want in your life, instead, ask your- self, “what do I really want?” You want strength, courage, vitality, self- respect, a feeling of ac- complishment. You want to feel whole, without any voids in your life. When you give up those old habits and addictions, understand, you’re not “giving up” anything — you’re simply returning to the natural state of health, wellness and wholeness God intended for you. You’re returning to the real YOU, before you started this behavior. You’re not losing or giving up anything of value. On the contrary, you’re get- ting rid of a cruel enemy that’s hijacked your heart and mind and taken you captive in a place you no longer want to be. It’s the same for those addicted to smoking. Many think they smoke to relieve stress, but as with all addictions, the only stress it relieves is the stress brought on by the previous dose of the drug. This is why smokers never succeed with Nico- tine Replacement Ther- apy. That, too, is another deception of the devil. It’s an ingenious conspiracy between Big Pharma and Big Tobacco. Think about it: how can you get free of the addiction by taking the same drug you’re addicted to, just in
a different form? It does- n’t work. When Satan whispers in your ear that “just one puff won’t mat- ter,” ask yourself what you really want... the an- swer is you want to breathe, you want life and freedom. Then take a deep breath of life-giving fresh air, hold it for a few seconds and then exhale. Breathe life rather than
flesh, for these are op- posed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.” So, plan your resolu- tions ahead of time — de- cide in advance how you’ll respond to each temptation, and include God in those plans. Why is it we only pray when we’ve done everything else in our own power and have failed? Lamentations 3:40, “Let us test and ex- amine our ways, and return to the LORD!” 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; be- hold, all things are be- come new.” What New Years Resolutions do you have? Do you want to lose weight? Stop bring- ing GMO junk food into the house. Stop eating two big burgers every day for lunch, followed by two king size candy bars and diet soda. Try some healthy chicken and vegetables. Eat clean. You’ll soon find your desire for the bad stuff goes, as you take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, and your will begins to align with God’s will. This world is filled with temptations. The enemy of our souls wants noth- ing more than for us to continue believing the lie that we’re dependent upon poisons — whether that be a poor diet, or nicotine or alcohol, or pornography or Face- book or whatever. They’re all poisons — to our bodies, minds and souls. When you stop indulging what you think you need and instead ask yourself honestly, “what do I really need?” — and rewire, retrain your mind to return to the real you — as God made you — you’ll see you’re not giving up any- thing. Instead, you’re ridding yourself of a vi-
poison.
The key is to change your heart and mind and bring your will into align- ment with God’s will. Be- cause every action begins as a thought in the mind, and that’s where the devil goes to tempt us. “A few Doritos won’t hurt.” “I’m tired today and need a day off. I’ll exercise to- morrow.” “One drink won’t matter. Nobody has to know. I’ll quit tomor- row.” For most, tomorrow never comes, but instead turns into days, months, and years. And before you know it, a lifetime of good intentions — ending in an early, ugly death. Mark 14:38, “Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is will- ing, but the flesh is weak.” Indeed, the flesh is weak. The carnal man is weak. This is why we must set our sights on spiritual things in order to accom- plish those good and righteous things we really want in our lives. It’s that old spiritual warfare again. Galatians 5:17, “For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the

Mystery Fog Causing Panic All Over America
By Michael Snyder January 2 0 2 5
brief exposure. Dubbed “Fogvid-24,” some victims have also reported an unex- plained loss of energy. This isn’t just happening in the United States. In the UK, a Twitter user named Jay Anderson says that he “got rapidly ill” after he was exposed to thick fog… I’m really not trying to buy into the ‘Fogvid 24’ conspiracy where
Multiple studies have shown that fog can cause respiratory issues such as coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, congestion and wheezing, especially in people with asthma. That’s because our lungs are designed to inhale oxygen, not water. When we inhale the increased moisture content of the air, it can irri- tate the respiratory system and trigger uncomfortable symptoms. Fog can be especially irritating when it is mixed with airborne pol- lutants, allergens or other particles. Okay, that makes sense too. But there is one more twist to this story. According to CBS News, the U.S. military “conducted more than 200 secret biological warfare tests over popu- lated areas” in the U.S. for a period of 20 years. In one of the very first experiments, the U.S. Navy sprayed “a bac- teria called Serratia marcescens in a mist that was unno- ticed” due to the thick fog in the San Francisco area… In what sounds like a conspiracy theory, the fog over San Francisco was used by the U.S. military in the 1950s as a way to mask the spreading of a biological agent in simulated germ-warfare attacks. Leonard Cole, the director of the Terror Medicine and Security Program at Rutgers Medical School, called it one of the largest human experiments in history. For a period of 20 years between 1949 and 1969, the U.S. Army conducted more than 200 secret biological war- fare tests over populated areas. Among the first was in the 1950s along San Francisco’s Bay coastline. A Navy minesweeper went back and forth for a couple of days in September spraying a bacteria called Serratia marcescens in a mist that was unnoticed due to the region’s fog. So it is entirely true that the U.S. military has used fog to conduct biological experiments in the past. And that same CBS News article goes on to explain that it appears that some people died as a result. It was not acceptable to experiment on the American people then, and it is certainly not acceptable to experiment on the American peo- ple now. But even if we could prove that our government is experimenting on us today, they certainly won’t admit it. Sadly, our government has lied to us over and over again through- out the years, and this is one of the reasons why everyone is so para- noid now. When most of the people living in a nation no longer trust the gov- ernment, that has very serious consequences. But instead of taking steps to restore that trust, our government just keeps making things even worse.
Has there been an unusual amount of fog in your area lately? If so, did a lot of people in your area start getting sick after the fog ar- rived? All of a sudden, fog has become one of the hottest topics on social media, and even the mainstream media is now talking about this phenomenon. But is there any validity to this story? I am going to try to be balanced and I am going to share information from both sides of the debate. I would encourage you to read this entire article all the way to the end, because there is a twist that not a lot of people are talking about right now. Recently, the Daily Mail published an article about this story which was quickly picked up by the Drudge Report… A thick fog is sweeping across the US with locals in mul- tiple states reporting how a ‘burning chemical-like smell’ has blanketed their communities. Concerned Americans have flooded social media with videos of what looks like white particles raining down and swirling in the air. Some witnesses have also claimed the fog has also trig- gered health symptoms similar to a respiratory illness. In recent days, a lot of very strange things have been happening, and this is certainly one of the strangest. But are there any facts that we can verify? Well, it is true that there has been an unusual amount of fog in both the United States and the United Kingdom… Reports show that the fog has impacted air travel, rail systems, and highways in multiple areas. As reported by Sportskeeda, major airports in both the UK and US have experienced considerable delays and cancellations. Heathrow, Luton, and Man- chester airports in the UK experienced “major disruptions” resulting from low visibility. In the United States, impacted regions consist of California, Texas, Florida, and sections of the Midwest. In Des Moines, Iowa the fog was so bad that authorities issued dense fog advisories for six days in a row… Much of Iowa saw a hazy Christmas instead of a white one this year. Fog settled in over Des Moines and the rest of the state during the last week of December. A dense fog advisory was issued for central Iowa on Monday. This marked the sixth morning in a row of dense fog advisories. It is also true that a lot of people are blaming their illnesses on the fog… Reports from around the globe are surfacing of mysterious illnesses linked to encounters with so-called “chemical fogs.” Described as a thick, lingering blanket, the fog has left people sick — many experiencing sudden cold or flu-like symptoms after only A Meeting Place For Wisconsin Christian
people are saying the thick blanket of fog over the UK that impacted us for about three days straight has made people ill but I got rapidly ill with cold/flu symptoms and it was after brief exposure to fog. The National Weather Service is not denying that there has been a lot of fog lately, and they are not denying that people are getting sick. But they are suggesting that there may be scientific explanations for what we are witnessing… However, the National Weather Service (NWS) issued a dense fog advisory for multiple states, suggesting there could be a scientific ex- planation behind the bizarre reports. While the particles may seem unusual, fog is a visible aerosol con- sisting of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air at or near the Earth’s surface. Shining a light in the fog makes these particles visible. As for the ‘chemical’ smell people have described, the fog can ab- sorb and trap polluted air near the Earth’s surface, acting as a carrier for car exhaust, industrial emissions and other airborne chemicals. That makes sense. And the Daily Mail has also pointed out that multiple scientific studies “have shown that fog can cause respiratory issues”…

The Murder Of the Mainstream Media
By Coach Dave Daubenmire January 2025 “Mainstream” is defined as “belonging to or charac- teristic of a principal, dom- inant, or widely accepted group, movement, style, etc.”
his murder of the mainstream media.
It wasn’t long after he came down the escalator at Trump tower on June 16, 2015 that Donald Trump in- troduced to America a moniker from which the media would never escape when he pointed at the TV cameras and said for all Ameri- cans to hear… “YOU ARE FAKE NEWS!” That sim- ple phrase was the equivalent to C19
Perhaps I am a bit corny or old-fash- ioned, but I was brought up to believe that “mainstream” meant middle...or the direct flow of the current in a river. Mainstream media? There is no doubt that the media has been left-stream for a very long time. They just told us they were mainstream. They wanted us all to believe that their newsreaders were unbiased Americans just doing what Walter Cronkite told us for so many years… “…and that’s the way it is…” when it re- ally wasn’t the way it was. It was simply the way HE told us it was. Little did we know that he had an agenda, and that agenda was to advance a cause, and the cause was the destruction of the American way of life. For those of you who have followed his- tory, you will remember a time in the 1960s when we were constantly being warned about the “communists” and their desire to take over America. In fact, just before they murdered JFK, he warned us that our enemy was going to conquer us through “infiltration” rather than “invasion.” Funny….but that was the same thing we were warned of in the Biblical book of Jude where we were told that “there are certain men crept in unawares…who changed the Truth of God into a lie.” Can you say Tom Brokaw, Chris Mathews, Harry Reasoner, Chris Wallace, Anderson Cooper, and the cadre of vixen on MSNBC and CNN? On January 10,1963 the goals of the Communist Party known as “The Commu- nist Manifesto” were read into the Congres- sional record. You can find the list in history books or online, but three of the goals are particularly striking…
their humble one-person studios and bringing the truth to the airwaves one con- vert at a time. Joe Rogan changed the race. Charlie Kirk changed the race. Candice Owens changed the race…No name broad- casters exposing truth to an audience of millions. The Government/media complex never saw the kill-shot coming. There is a lot of work still to be done. Truth be told, Donald Trump has created a new political party. Now that the lock on the brains of millions of Americans has been broken, we find out that clear-think- ing, liberty-loving Americans are still the majority in America. The Left lives in an echo chamber. Per- haps they should leave their ivory towers and spend some time out where the REAL Americans live. Try as they might, they can no longer write us off as “deplorables” and “garbage.” WE are the real Americans! The pot called the kettle black! The Left has been crying for eight years that Donald Trump was a rapist. But it is worse than that. He is a murderer! He mur- dered the government-media complex! Web: www.CoachDaveLive.com E-Mail: Coach@CoachDaveLive.com
VIRUS injected into the unsuspecting American citizens. It was a jab, oft re- peated, from which the National Media would never recover. Today, Donald Trump has been re-elected as President of the United States and the Fake News National Media is on its death bed. That will go down in history as Presi- dent Trump’s most valuable service to America. The murder, in broad daylight, of the Government-Media Complex that JFK warned us about in 1963. Just a brief online search will show you the obituaries of the wicked government- media establishment. Here are just a few. CNN is dead. More. NBC is crashing. MSNBC is having a fire sale. Oprah’s net- work is toast! The Las Angeles times has fired their entire editorial board. What’s going on? The Lefties believed their Lefty media buddies and the shock of how much they were lied to in their predic- tions has caused them to lose all credibil- ity. Heads are going to roll. Donald Trump is a murderer. He killed the entire Leftish media cabal.
The new main- stream media can be found every day on the internet. No longer do we have to swallow the fallow waters spewed out of the mouth of deviant Ellen Degenerate… world-class racist Joy Reid…idiot Whoopi Goldberg and her insane co- host Joy Behar, just to name a few. A new day is dawning in the American media. Thanks to Donald Trump. He exposed the wickedness for all of us to see. The new media can now be found in hundreds of no- name podcasters ex- posing the lies out of

15). Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
17). Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ as- sociations. Put the party line in textbooks. 20). Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions. The successful implementation of those three goals radically transformed the United States of America. Today, ALL main- stream media outlets are Leftist, not main- stream, with the exception of Faux News which is on the RIGHT side of Leftism. In America today, there is no longer a middle of the road, straight shooting, that’s-the- way-it-is media. It is all Leftism. Some hard Left, some soft Left. But there is no middle ground anymore.
