“Hellscape.” That’s a dramatic word—but that is what awaits China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy if it is ordered to invade Taiwan by Xi Jinping.

We know this because US Navy Admiral Samuel Paparo, who heads up PACOM, told us this through The Washington Post’s Josh Rogin:

“I want to turn the Taiwan Strait into an unmanned hellscape using a number of classified capabilities,” Paparo told Rogin. “So that I can make [PLAN’s] lives utterly miserable for a month, which buys me the time for the rest of everything,” he continued.

“Classified capabilities” means we can’t know the details or even the outline of the details. But Paparo did add “I can’t tell you what’s in” the plan to stop the Chinese invasion, “But,” he added, “it’s real and it’s deliverable.”

The more that senior military figures like Paparo and figures in the intel and tech communities spell out the scenarios for the public through responsible outlets and the more Congress throws the spotlight on our most powerful enemies, the better off every American is.

More from the senior brass, please. And soon.

A new Gallup poll reveals that 32 percent of voters will vote exclusively for a candidate who shares their views on abortion. And, pro-choice voters dominate that record-high finding.

There is nothing wrong with being a single-issue voter, but our concern is that this cows pro-life candidates to play down their pro-life views. The truth is, Americans are evenly split on being pro-choice and pro-life; in fact, majorities and pluralities of Americans regularly identify as pro-life.

Only one-third of Americans support abortion in every and all circumstances—which means late term, and based on nothing but caprice. That, however, is the Democratic party position. Ask Kamala Harris or Joe Biden or any Democrat running for office where they would put a limit on abortion, you will get stonewalled—they will not answer.

That is the extreme position. Rather than hide, we should expose this gruesomeness more. Our party and country were founded to protect life. That is something to be proud of and speak more about, not less.

Let's just call it “the exodus of the faithful.” The United Methodist Church recently lost more than a million members—in a single day.

In just one vote, the United Methodist Church experienced a massive exodus as a group of African Methodists declared they could abide the United Methodist Church's theological liberalism and moral revolt no longer.

With that single vote, the Ivory Coast Annual Conference of the UMC just left the church taking 1.2 million members and declaring that “the new United Methodist Church which distances itself from the Holy Scriptures is no longer suitable.”

The issues cover the entire LGBTQ waterfront.

The Ivory Coast Annual Conference declared that the United Methodist Church “is not based in any biblical and disciplinary values,” and that it “is now based on sociocultural and contextual values, which have consumed its doctrinal and disciplinary integrity.”

Well, they didn't mince words. The Methodists there in Africa serve as an example of what biblical faithfulness and gospel witness requires.

God bless them.
