How The Left Took over Academia

We start the working week by pointing you in the direction of this Rubin Report interview with Niall Ferguson.

It is a very interesting conversation that covers the familiar areas of Leftism, Brexit and Trump. It begins with an examination of just how the Left took over academia.

Niall Ferguson is a well-known historian very broadly ‘on the Right’ and his discussion on how the Left now dominates the history departments of almost all universities is both illuminating and deeply depressing. If it carries on like this for much longer, an entire generation will know next to nothing about the horrors of communism and believe Uncle Joe Stalin was indeed like a delightful old uncle.

The discussion on Brexit starts about one hour in. Ferguson was a Remainer but has since turned to Brexit. His explanation for this change of heart is convincing. He maintains that Brexit will probably have a damaging impact on the economy, but the vote to leave the EU was more than economics. It was about sovereignty and in particular controlling immigration. He takes the Leave campaign to task for essentially ignoring the immigration point. This part is certainly worth a watch.

Ferguson is best described as a Trump sceptic. Ultimately however he asked himself, if he lined up all the Trump voters and all the Hillary voters, which line would he rather be in. Answer – the Trumpsters.

So clear your evening and settle in for an hour and half of awesomeness.

The job of a journalist is to report facts, add context where necessary, and leave it to the consumer to decide what he thinks. In this video, James O’Keefe, founder and president of Project Veritas, explains why fewer and fewer people trust modern-day “journalism.”

The Power of Forgiveness

Rebecca Duvall and her husband’s marriage was falling apart. She found it hard to forgive her husband because he cheated on her. For four months, Robert was having an affair. She found out about it when she discovered some texts on his cell phone.

When that happened Rebecca had become a Christian. She sought for a Christian counselor and decided not to walk away and fight for their marriage.

One day Robert fell ill because of a kidney failure and learnt that Rebecca was a perfect match for his kidney transplant. But she thought to herself, “he doesn’t deserve the loving care I could give as a wife” and so she decided to never do it.

But months later, God intervened and convicted Rebecca to trust Him and do the transplant as He said.

The operation was a success and because of Rebecca’s act of forgiveness and selfless love for Robert, he accepted Jesus Christ in his heart.

Since then, their marriage was restored and grew deeper and they both became counselors to couples and both living with God at the center of their lives.

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. (Ephesians 4:31-32).
