The president of a seminary founded in 1836 on the “infallible” Word of God says in a new interview she doesn’t believe in the bodily resurrection of Christ, the power of prayer, a literal heaven, or miracles. Serene Jones, president of Union Theological Seminary in New York, made the comments in an interview with Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times for an article published Easter weekend. Although the author’s intent may have been to inspire readers, it also served to spotlight the leftward drift of many seminaries. Union Theological Seminary’s founding constitution stated the seminary’s goal was to “promote”...

  Well, this bunker is really something extra. It is like it is been abandoned with almost all equipment after the collaps of the CCCP…..  Civildefense is a bit smother compared to the military but it is harder to run it. soldiers are trained to do what they are told…Feeling in the bunker is like someone is on the way to start it up again…………   –nextpage– –nextpage– –nextpage– –nextpage–

Pretty rare photos from a village in Belarus during the 1970s, 1975 to be exact. The people of the village made WW2 victory parade themed platforms for the parade. Each platform is a sort of show of its own. Like this first one. –nextpage– –nextpage–

U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar attacked NRA lobbyist Chris Cox on Friday after he warned of the “socialist wave” engulfing America and promised there will be a “rude awakening” when “real America” votes against those espousing far-left ideas. **SNIP** “Civics lesson for the NRA: As much as they may not like it, the Bronx and Queens are part of ‘the real America,’ too,” she tweeted. “Wild that the NRA is suggesting the voters of NY-14 aren’t ‘real Americans’ bc they don’t think assault weapons in school classrooms is a good idea.” **SNIP** Omar, the embattled Minnesota Democrat, who...

The shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry has said President Donald Trump is a “threat to our world order” and does not deserve a state visit to the UK in June. Thornberry branded President Trump as “nothing but a disgrace to his office,” as Trump announced the US would be withdrawing its support for the accord regulating the multibillion-dollar global arms trade. She added, that if Trump is re-elected this “is the final confirmation that he is not the Leader of the Free World.” Thirnberry wrote on Twitter, “Donald Trump’s statement on the Arms Trade Treaty is the final confirmation that...

Fertilizer. What is it? How does it work? Is it safe to use? What's the difference between Organic and Synthetic fertilizer? Watch the video: https://youtu.be/IeMvR4tmMJ8

Are you a male Democrat running for President of the United States? Well, the best thing you can do is withdraw from the race in favor of a woman thus proving you are worth voting for despite the fact you are no longer running. That is the bizarre logic of Vox's Matthew Yglesias who made this claim on Twitter on Wednesday. Therefore Bernie Sanders would earn the support of Yglesias by dropping out of the race in favor of, say, Elizabeth Warren. At that point he woud qualify for Yglesias' vote despite it becoming absolutely worthless to him since he would...

European Cities Places Imagined to be Styled in Russian Style Posted on November 28, 2018 by tim It’s another photo posting from some people who ask the question – “What if a European city was in Russia, how would it look?” And those photos is the answer to this often asked question.Europe:Russia:Europe:Russia:Europe: Russia:Europe:Russia:Europe:Russia:–nextpage–Europe:Russia:Europe (this is best one here so far):Russia:Europe: Russia:Europe:Russia:It is not the only person who tries to compare cities. We had some older postings on the topic in archive.

Posted on January 15, 2019 by tim On November 3rd, 1957 a space rocket was launched from Baikonur which brought a Sputnik-2 satellite to the Earth orbit. This was the second man made space ship on the Earth orbit. And differently from its predecessor it was a much complex ship. It’s weight was just around a half ton. It looked like a conical capsule of 4 meter tall. It had a few chambers for scientific devices, radio, telemetric system, program module and a system to support temperature and air to the cabin. But most importantly this was a first space ship with...

Families from China were among those who allegedly paid the most in the college admissions scandal, a new sign of the reach of the cheating ring. One Chinese family allegedly paid $6.5 million to William “Rick” Singer, the California-based college counselor... (Please see link for full article)

From the Parody Project, an entertaining video that made me laugh just as much as the fantastic M4GW “climategate” video, done to the tune of Don McLean’s “American Pie”. While some may not think it’s appropriate for WUWT, we do have a “politics” and “satire” category, and it is quite good, so enjoy. My best advice? Share it to annoy your liberal friends, watch their heads explode when one of their favorite songs gets turned into a political satire piece.Lyrics at site. Youtube linkOriginal Blog

The Democrats are all hat and no cattle. It’s time they put up or shut up with their saber rattling over impeachment.Liberal lawmakers and fake media pundits have publicly promoted the idea of impeaching President Trump ever since he won the 2016 election, concocting cockamamie theories that he colluded with Russia and obstructed justice.Former U.S. Representative and current Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, for instance, has argued that President Trump "has already done a number of things which legitimately raise the question of impeachment."Last year, Senator Chuck Schumer insisted that the Democrats will impeach the President, saying, “the sooner the...

My Grandpa and I used to sing a chucklesome tune. He would start off saying, "Hey Joe, what do ya know?" to which I would reply, "I don't know nothin', tell me somethin'."  Neither of us could sing very well, but we both found the jingle humorous. That little ditty also happens to describe what will have to be the cornerstone of former Vice President Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign. In order for "Diamond Joe" to win in this far-left, progressive field of candidates, Joe will have to pretend that he didn't "know nothin'" about a variety of issues, behaviors,...

(Latest News At The Bottom) For Emmanuel Macron proposing income tax cuts and pensions adjusted to inflation seemed to be the right response to the Yellow Vests. But the early polling shows deep distrust and disbelief over his plans. A poll for BFM-TV reveals that 65 percent were not convinced by his proposals. Only 37 percent considered his proposals credible. 77 percent of those polled believed that Macron has not responded to the Yellow Vests with his proposals announced before the media Thursday evening.....

Greta Thunberg took her climate message to the heart of power in Westminster on Tuesday, with a quiet but powerful message to MPs that prompted politicians to declare contrition for their failure to act. After the noise of Brexit in parliament and the disruption of Extinction Rebellion outside, the 16-year-old Swedish activist cut an extraordinarily composed figure as she arrived with her trademark braids, hand-painted placard and a speech that forced politicians to reflect on a crisis that is growing steadily worse despite three decades of political promises. ................................ There was no let-up for the audience. The UK, she said,...

BROWNSVILLE, Texas – Federal and local law enforcement agencies raided a series of car lots and homes in connection with a money laundering investigation involving a convicted Palestinian terrorist. Family members of the suspect had previously been tied to a network of underground casinos, officials say. On Thursday morning, federal agents along with investigators with the Cameron County District Attorney’s Office carried out a series of raids at a home in a luxurious neighborhood and at two car lots owned by George Z. Rafidi.

In an interview on Thursday night with Fox News host Sean Hannity, President Trump called the FBI's use of FISA warrants in the Russia investigation "the greatest political scandal in the history of our country.

Joe Biden on Friday stumbled through his first in-depth interview since declaring his presidential candidacy — refusing to apologize for his creepy interactions with women and to Anita Hill for her treatment during Justice Clarence Thomas’ confirmation hearings. Pressed by the all-women hosts of ABC’s “The View” about his history of touchy-feely behavior, the former vice president and Delaware senator bobbed and weaved like the veteran political pro he is. “I have to be, and everybody has to be, much more aware of the private space of men and women,” the early Democratic front-runner said. “I am much more cognizant...
