It’s not normal for the world to simply have a unipolar power. That was an anomaly. It was the product of the end of the Cold War. But eventually you were going to reach back to a point where you had a multipolar world with great powers in different parts of the planet…. So now more than ever, we need to remember that foreign policy should always be about furthering the national interest of the United States and doing so to the extent possible avoiding war and armed conflict which we have seen two times in the last century be very costly. They’re celebrating the 80th anniversary this year of the end of the Second World War. If you look at the scale and scope of destruction and loss of life that occurred it it would be far worse if we had a global conflict now and may end life on the planet.

We recently heard Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently refer to the end of the “unipolar order,” which is a term popularized in 1989 by pundit Charles Krauthammer. In his State of the Union Address speech in 1991, President George H.W. Bush began to speak of a New World Order (NWO) after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Bush spoke of the end of the Cold War, which was a long era of division between the communist world and the West (or the “free world”). This is sometimes referred to as the bipolar world order.

President Donald Trump recently posted on Truth Social that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has continually refused to negotiate an end to the conflict with Russia calling him a “dictator without elections.”

This brought a backlash from the legacy media, including many politicians, even some in Trump’s own party, and spurred numerous posts on social media.

Is Zelenskyy really a dictator?

Or is he the heroic Churchillian figure he is made out to be?

Who is Volodymyr Zelenskyy?

A post-victory propaganda piece celebrating Volodymyr Zelenskyy more resembles the character from his sitcom, Servant of the People, than real life. There are no English subtitles, but you can see here the actor playing a role.

This is not a post on the Russia-Ukraine conflict per se, but it’s a critique of what I believe that many Evangelical Christian ministries got wrong when the Soviet Union opened to the Gospel in 1991. It may have contributed…

The date of Christmas was not determined by Church Fathers by copying the date of a pagan Roman winter solstice festival. Instead, the date was calculated from the Jewish calendar using the date of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, September 22nd, 6 BC, when Gabriel appeared to Zecharias in the Temple according to Luke 1:5. The conception of John occurred “immediately after that” when Zecharias returned home to Elizabeth to the hill country of Judea, by calculation on September 24th, 6 BC.

The conception of Jesus was calculated to have occurred when Elizabeth was “in her sixth month” (Luke 1:26,36) on March 25th, 5 BC, which was also the first day of Passover in that year. John’s birth was June 24th, 5 BC, followed by Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem on December 25th, which was also the first day of Hanukkah, or the Festival of Lights, in that year. The Church Father, Hippolytus of Rome, in his work Chronicon, saw that each date had allegorical significance.

So why is Christmas celebrated on December 25th?
