En los días posteriores al 11 de septiembre de 2001, hubo dirigentes religiosos en los Estados Unidos que emitieron el juicio de que el ataque terrorista ocurrido en aquel nefasto día representaba el castigo de Dios infligido a una nación en extremo pecaminosa. Así Dios, de manera inequívoca, le llamaba la atención a aquella superpotencia mundial. Según esos líderes eclesiásticos, Dios no tuvo que hacer más que valerse del odio que albergan en el corazón tantos individuos contra el país que consideran culpable del deterioro moral que cunde en todo el mundo. Contra ese juicio tajante se pronunció con firmeza el periodista estadounidense Cal Thomas el 19 de septiembre ante su público nacional. A su columna escrita como respuesta a semejante concepto de Dios, le puso por título «Cuando se juzga que la calamidad viene de Dios». En la primera parte de su exposición bíblica, Thomas cita varios pasajes del Nuevo Testamento. De ahí pasa al Antiguo Testamento, del que se vale con maestría para desarrollar el siguiente argumento teológico con el que le pone punto final al asunto: «Dios no habría destruido las antiguas ciudades de Sodoma y Gomorra si allí se hubieran encontrado sólo diez justos (Génesis 18:32). ¿Acaso los que creen que el ataque terrorista representaba el juicio de Dios piensan que había menos de diez personas justas en Nueva York y en el Pentágono cuando se estrellaron esos aviones contra aquellos edificios? »Dios permite que ocurran cosas malas a pesar de que Él, por naturaleza, sólo hace el bien y saca de lo malo algo bueno. ¿Cómo sabemos esto? ... El Salmo 5 dice: “Tú no eres un Dios que se complazca en lo malo.” José, a quien sus hermanos habían vendido como esclavo y sin embargo llegó a ser el brazo derecho del faraón y el proveedor de alimento a los hambrientos, les dijo a sus hermanos: “Es verdad que ustedes pensaron hacerme mal, pero Dios transformó ese mal en bien para lograr lo que hoy estamos viendo: salvar la vida de mucha gente” (Génesis 50:20). »En Génesis 18:25, Abraham intercede por la vida de los habitantes de Sodoma. En sus esfuerzos por lograr que Dios perdone a esa gran ciudad, Abraham dice algo importante acerca del carácter de Dios que tal vez debieran considerar aquellos que creen que Dios ha castigado a los Estados Unidos de América mediante un ataque terrorista: “¡Lejos de ti el hacer tal cosa! ¿Matar al justo junto con el malvado, y que ambos sean tratados de la misma manera? ¡Jamás hagas tal cosa! Tú, que eres el Juez de toda la tierra, ¿no harás justicia?” »Claro que sí hará justicia. El mal existe, pero su autor no es Dios. El mundo está perdido y ocurren cosas malas. Pero Dios ha provisto la forma de que nosotros, simples seres humanos, seamos restaurados si le prestamos atención.»1 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Cal Thomas, “When calamity is deemed divine,” The Washington Times, 19 septiembre 2001.

El 19 de septiembre de 2001, apenas una semana después del ataque terrorista contra las torres gemelas de Nueva York y el Pentágono de Washington, el periodista estadounidense Cal Thomas, en su columna publicada a nivel nacional, se pronunció acerca del tema en un artículo titulado «Cuando se juzga que la calamidad viene de Dios». He aquí la primera parte de su comentario: «... Dos dirigentes religiosos... dieron a entender que los ataques terroristas de la semana pasada se debieron al juicio de Dios.... »Pero... no son ellos los primeros en vincular el castigo divino a acontecimientos temporales. Abraham Lincoln dijo que la Guerra Civil estadounidense se debió a la esclavitud y a que los Estados Unidos de América se habían olvidado de Dios y estaban intoxicados de un éxito ininterrumpido, y se sentían demasiado orgullosos como para orar al Dios que nos creó. Alejandro Soljenitsyn dijo que el comunismo ahogó a la Unión Soviética durante siete décadas porque su pueblo se había olvidado de Dios. »En la medida en que las calamidades, ya sean naturales o provocadas por los seres humanos, nos llevan a la reflexión y a reorganizar la vida de tal modo que ese mal nos impulsa a hacer el bien, hasta el horror [del 11 de septiembre] puede tener efectos redentores y de ese modo personas inocentes no habrán muerto en vano.... »Hay quienes creen que los Estados Unidos de América es una nación especial, escogida por Dios para recibir una bendición excepcional. Eso es idolatría.... En Isaías 40, Dios dice que a sus ojos todas las naciones son como “una gota de agua en un balde, como una brizna de polvo en una balanza”, pues “no son nada”. Esta afirmación es motivo de humildad y no de fanatismo religioso. »Hay otros interrogantes. Cuando el apóstol Pablo visitó la antigua ciudad de Corinto, prevalecía una inmoralidad desenfrenada. El culto a Afrodita fomentó la prostitución en nombre de la religión. En determinado momento, según [la edición de estudio de] la Nueva Versión Internacional de la Biblia, “mil prostitutas servían en su templo”. ¿Acaso no bastaba ese estilo de vida para que Dios enviara un meteorito que arrasara la ciudad? Sin embargo, a pesar de semejante maldad, Dios no envió su juicio sino que envió a su Hijo en el acto de amor más grande que jamás se haya visto. “Cuando todavía éramos pecadores”, dice la Sagrada Escritura, Dios envió a Jesucristo a morir por nosotros (Romanos 5:8). »Si bien ese mismo Libro sagrado trata acerca de un juicio final en el que todo el mundo tendrá que comparecer ante Dios, así como advierte sobre las consecuencias inmediatas del pecado —desde la enfermedad física hasta la angustia emocional y la muerte—, también dice que Dios “no quiere que nadie perezca sino que todos se arrepientan” (2 Pedro 3:9).»1 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Cal Thomas, “When calamity is deemed divine,” The Washington Times, 19 septiembre 2001.

Sadly, two children were killed and 17 others injured, before the gunman killed himself.While the media blamed “guns” for yet another school shooting, the reality is that this young man's confusion about his gender, which was affirmed by his parents, use of marijuana, and focus on evil spirituality (in his manifesto was a drawing of the Satanic figure Baphomet).Robert Knight, columnist for the Washington Times, joins us today to discuss his most recent article on this “trans” murder rampage and how this has become a trend.Later in the program, Mike Gendron of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministry, will join us to discuss Understanding Catholicism, Remembering the Reformation in light of a conference he will be speaking at Oct. 10-12 in Minnesota.------------------------------You can receive Robert Knight's weekly column by sending an email to robertknight4@gmail.comMon, Sept 8 is the deadline to register to attend The Overcomer Foundation Cup Golf and Dinner Event at White Bear Yacht Club near St. Paul, MN.

Courage is Contagious: Voices Uniting Against Human Trafficking Synopsis: Teresa Velardi sits down with author Andi Buerger and contributing authors Lisa Babbage, Chris Meek, and Eric Caron to discuss the powerful new book, Voices Against Trafficking: Courage is Contagious – Uniting Voices and Nations in the War Against Human Slavery. At a time when true heroes can seem scarce, Voices Against Trafficking brings together extraordinary accounts from ordinary people who refused to look away in the face of injustice. These first-hand narratives spotlight individuals who saw something, said something, and took action—changing the course of lives forever. The stories remind us that the courage of a single person can create ripples of hope that reach across communities and even nations. Andi Buerger, a survivor of brutal child sex trafficking, shares her journey from victim to internationally recognized advocate who has rescued hundreds of at-risk teens through her nonprofit work. Lisa Babbage brings her expertise as an educator, nonprofit leader, and survivor of abuse, working to restore dignity to women and children. Chris Meek, co-founder of SoldierStrong, combines lessons on leadership, resilience, and humanitarian service from decades of working with U.S. veterans and global causes. Eric Caron, a decorated former U.S. Special Agent, offers a law enforcement and national security perspective on dismantling trafficking networks and rescuing victims. Together, they discuss the harsh realities of human trafficking, the systemic challenges in combating it, and the urgent need to unite voices from all walks of life in this fight. This compelling conversation will challenge listeners to confront the uncomfortable truth about modern-day slavery—and inspire them to believe that courage truly is contagious. Guests Andi Burger: Andi Buerger, JD is an international speaker, author, and advocate for victims of human trafficking & exploitation.  Andi herself was a victim of child sex trafficking and unspeakable abuses by family members for 17 years.She founded Beulah's Place, which provided temporary shelter services to at-risk unsheltered teens for 14 years.  300+ youth were successfully rescued and assisted earning national recognition. Andi later founded Voices Against Trafficking(VAT) to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves — the voiceless victims of human trafficking and exploitation. VAT advocates for the protection of every human's rights regardless of race, gender, culture, or socio-economic status.  Voices Against Trafficking-The Strength of Many Voices Speaking As One, gives a portion of proceeds from each sale to survivors of child abuse and trafficking, as does Andi's first book,  A Fragile Thread of Hope - One Survivor's Quest to Rescue. Andi launched Voices Of Courage magazine in 2023.  It is distributed internationally and accepted into the U.S. Library of Congress. It honors everyday heroes who selflessly fight to protect human rights. These champions come from all walks of life to change communities and the world for the better.

He holds a BA in economics and political science from Syracuse University, an MBA in financial management from Pace University in New York City, and an MPA from the Maxwell School at Syracuse University.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Martin Bodek, author of the book Zaidy's War. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Martin currently lives in NJ with his wife and three children. He is an avid marathoner, Daf Yomi participant, Wordler, vexillologist, and halvah aficionado. He is a technologist by day, and a writer by night.   A freelance writer on Jewish interest topics for three decades, his work has been published in The Huffington Post, The Denver Post, The Washington Times, The Jewish Press, Country Yossi Magazine, Modern Magazine, The Jewish Link of NJ, The Jewish Book Council, scoogiespin, israelinsider, bangitout, jewcentral, Jew in the City, Aish, and Shepherd. His work was translated for Germany's only weekly Jewish newspaper, The Jüdische Allgemeine. Zaidy's War was translated into Yiddish and serialized in Der Yid. He is the co-creator of TheKnish.com, a popular Jewish news satire site, the beat reporter for JRunners, the surname columnist for jewishworldreview, the cufflink columnist for The Jewish Link of NJ, and is part of the Word Prompt rotation in The Jewish Press.   In my book review, I stated Zaidy's War by Martin Bodek is a Holocaust family memoir you won't want to miss. As Martin said in his preface, the stories his grandfather told him about his time during the war always sounded more like a super-hero adventure story. However, as he grew older, he realized that these stories were far more and needed preserving. Without a doubt, his grandfather would be so proud of the book and grateful that Martin found a way to keep the memories of the Jewish plight alive.   Zaidy is an amazing man who loved religious learning, his family, and freedom. Yet, due to Hitler and his desire for ethnic cleansing, Zaidy could have easily lost everything he loved. And when he made it through the other side of the war, he could have easily lost his humanity. And yet, what we find is a man who pushed forward, helped his community rebuild, fell in love, worked hard for his family, moved not once but twice in order to provide the stability his family needed, and continued to follow his religious principles throughout his life. It is no wonder Martin grew up thinking his grandfather was so amazing - it is because it was true.   In today's world, where antisemitism is strong and there are many who claim the Holocaust didn't happen, books such as Zaidy's War are beyond valuable. These stories could ultimately stop something like the extermination of entire Jewish communities from happening again. Buy this book. Read this book.

8/5/25 - Missy Reilly Smith is the founder and president of WAKE UP (Women Against the Killing & Exploitation of Unprotected Persons), a 501(c)(3) charity she established after reading a 1999 exposé in The Washington Times about abortionists torturing infants and selling body parts, a catalyst that led to her lifelong commitment to pro life activism. A mother who openly acknowledges her own abortions and now counsels others through prayer, sidewalk outreach, and training programs, Missy has organized high-profile demonstrations, including 100 consecutive Rosary rallies outside the White House in 2009, and produced WAKE UP Chronicles, a magazine promoting chastity and pro-life education. She has twice run for political office, using striking campaign ads that brought national attention, and continues to spearhead legal efforts, including a class-action suit for women allegedly harmed by abortion medications. She frequently takes her mission to the streets, Congress, and beyond, undaunted even by arrests, determined to “save children's lives in the light of Christ.” Learn more at https://www.wakeup.mom/

It's bad enough Democrats spent time, tax dollars and too much time and tax dollars investigating Donald Trump for faked, drummed-up and fabricated charges and accusations during his first presidency. But again? Once more, Democrats are trying to completely dismantle all-things-MAGA and prevent President Trump from enacting the very agenda for which he was elected to enact. But nowadays, Democrats have a new weapon. They call it the courts. Alex Swoyer, an attorney who covers legal matters for The Washington Times, has a new book, "Lawless Lawfare," and she discusses the attacks on Team Trump, as well as the recent resurrection of Obergefell v. Hodges and whether same-sex unions will once again become matters for states and voters to decide.

Recently, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, released a declassified file that she indicates contains overwhelming evidence that former President Barack Obama and his national security team manufactured and politicized intelligence pertaining to Russian collusion. This goes back to when candidate Donald Trump was accused of colluding with Russia in order to influence the 2016 presidential election. Gabbard indicated that she's submitted a criminal referral to the Department of Justice and as such, the Justice Department has formed a strike force to assess the evidence. Returning to Crosstalk to discuss this latest news was Robert Knight. He's a former Los Angeles Times news editor and columnist for the Washington Times as well as other publications. Take the time to review this edition of Crosstalk as Robert reveals why this case truly does have the evidence behind it to qualify as a conspiracy. As he points out, the FBI and other intelligence agencies assessed the idea that the Russians were colluding with the Trump campaign so that he would win the 2016 election. They concluded that there was low intelligence (low value) so it probably wasn't true. However, they released the report saying just the opposite; that it had high value. They leaked it to the press who then accused Trump of colluding with the Russians and hearings took place, all designed to cripple Trump's presidency. So what's really going on here and why does it matter all these years later? Was Russian collusion designed to not merely destroy Trump but to protect Hillary Clinton. After all, wasn't it her campaign that allegedly paid for the Steele Dossier that kicked this off?

Victor Davis Hanson examines the Jeffrey Epstein saga's divisive impact on American politics and the MAGA movement, while commending the Trump administration's military, technological, and immigration policy successes. He urges Australia to strengthen its defence, fortifying the ANZUS alliance against autocratic threats like China.Critiquing distorted historical narratives that skew policy, Hanson advocates for a cohesive Western response to address authoritarian challenges, trade imbalances, and demographic declines. Victor Davis Hanson is an American classicist, military historian, columnist, and farmer. He has been a commentator on contemporary politics for the National Review and The Washington Times and is currently the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. In addition to writing hundreds of articles, book reviews and newspaper editorials, Hanson is also the author of twenty-four books and hosts a regular podcast series, 'The Victor Davis Hanson Show'. Hanson was awarded the National Humanities Medal in 2007 by President George W. Bush, and was a presidential appointee in 2007-08 on the American Battle Monuments Commission. His latest book, The Dying Citizen, was published in October 2021. And his next book, soon to be released on May the 7th this year, The End of Everything, How Wars Descend Into Annihilation.
