Newly unredacted documents in the Mar-a-Lago raid case indicate that Jack Smith was after Obama and North Korea-related documents. After the raid the DOJ was pleased with their findings and wrote, “I think we are in good shape.” President Trump said two years after he met Obama before his 2017 Inauguration that Obama was on the brink of starting a war with North Korea. Trump claimed that Obama was “close to starting a big war” with North Korea. Obama must not have liked this. The corrupt and criminal Obama/Biden gang was after documents related to North Korea years later when...

A North Korean delegation led by the cabinet minister for international trade is visiting Iran, the North’s official media says in a rare public report of an exchange between the two countries believed to have secret military ties. The minister for external economic relations, Yun Jong Ho, left Pyongyang on Tuesday by air leading a ministry delegation to visit Iran, the North’s KCNA news agency says. It gives no other detail. North Korea and Iran have long been suspected of cooperating on ballistic missile programs, possibly exchanging technical expertise and components that went into their manufacture.

I know that unions are traditionally associated with democrats and I was hoping to get some opinions on whats currently going down in Huntsville "Rocket City", Alabama right now. The IAM is passing out fliers and picketing with signs at Blue Origins 1100 Explorer Blvd Rocket Engine plant trying to get employees signatures. Personally, I'm against it and was just wondering how people here my feel on the topic.

We are now roughly six and a half months from election day or election month, depending on your state’s election laws. Today, we’ll focus on Joe Biden’s recent polling surge, as shown in the Real Clear Politics Poll Average of Trump vs Biden. You will note Trump is up over Biden by a whopping 0.4 percentage points. If we remove the possible outlier Rasmussen survey from the average, showing Trump at +8, Joe Biden would be ahead by 0.4. Republicans might be dismayed by this, and Democrats encouraged. In January of this year, Trump was ahead of Biden by +4....

For generations, American politics has been defined by the outsize influence of Christian conservatives, so much so that the intersection of religion and politics is often treated as the sole province of white evangelicals. And for generations, promises of a rising “religious left” have come and gone without any lasting political imprint. But to look at America’s religious left at this moment is to see something genuinely different. Places of worship are participating in demonstrations for civil rights larger than any protest movement in American history. Democrats like the Rev. Raphael Warnock and Joe Biden—political leaders whose faith isn’t just...

The former president has been making his presence increasingly felt in the cognitively impaired Joe Biden White House. (LifeSiteNews) — Former U.S. president Barack Obama once famously said that he would serve a third term as long as he didn’t have to do all the legwork. “If I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats … and then I could sort of deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, I’d...

The Shroud of Turin is the most studied object in the world – and for good reason. If authentic, this linen cloth would constitute physical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. Not so fast comes the gut reaction from many Christians, concerned that such a theory skirts dangerously close to venerating a spurious relic. Besides, hasn’t the science concluded this is simply a medieval forgery?But the truth is, there is little consensus on the Shroud’s authenticity. After thousands of hours of research, study and tests, opinion is still divided among both scholars and enthusiasts. And so the intriguing possibility remains...

I have a very difficult time believing that this is actually true, mainly because it seems to contradict evolutionary theory. But, according to a Gallup poll, over 22% of Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ+, and the overall proportion of all adults who do so has more than doubled since 2012. This seems implausible to me, although I do not doubt Gallup's numbers themselves. Almost a quarter of Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ+ https://t.co/hDaW7DlBZq— Axios (@axios) March 13, 2024Axios' analysis of the poll is, as is always the case with Axios, short and to the point. 7.6% of adults...

So talking to a buddy today, who is also a huge Trump supporter, he said the MAGA slogan “Make America Great Again” is tired. He also said that many on the opposite side of the political divide associate that with hatred of Donald Trump. I asked him what he would use as a slogan. He came up with some good ones that I couldn’t put on this post for language violations. But he did come up with “The only Vote to save America Trump 2024” “Viva Trump 2024” with a notation Hispanics for Trump What are some of your one...

Former Boyzone star Shane Lynch has accused popstar Taylor Swift of engaging in demonic practices and satanic rituals during her sold-out shows and warned of the damaging effects such music has on children. “I think when you’re looking at a lot of the artists out there, a lot of their stage shows are satanic rituals live in front of 20,000 people without them realizing and recognizing,” Lynch recently told Ireland’s Sunday World. “You’ll see a lot of hoods up and masks on and fire ceremonies. Even down to Taylor Swift — one of the biggest artists in the world —...

A sensational science story which gripped the world last year claimed that the Gunung Padang site in West Java, Indonesia is the world’s oldest pyramid and could be more than 25,000 years old, but is there any truth in the claim? Stonehenge and the oldest major pyramids are just a few thousand years old, while the previous record holder, Turkey’s Gobekli Tepe stone monuments, are believed to be around 11,000 years old. However, researchers in a paper published in Archaeological Prospection late last year claim that the Gunung Padang pyramid could be more than twice the age of these ancient...

In Plato’s account of Atlantis, found in both Timaeus and Critias, the legendary island civilization supposedly fought a war against the Greeks. This is a vital part of the account, for it is the whole reason why Plato included it in these dialogues. However, is there any evidence that this legendary war between Atlantis and the Greeks really happened? Plato’s account of the war against Atlantis In Timaeus, written around 360 BCE, Socrates expresses his wish to hear an account about Athens in action. Critias responds that he knows of such an account. He then goes on to tell Socrates...

Are extraterrestrials highly evolved beings from deep space who seeded the world with life or are the fallen powers who have come down from the first heaven and together with demons who serve them are harvesting the souls of bad seed?

Is anyone watching this show? If so, is anyone else noticing all the singers are lip syncing the songs tonight. I haven't watched AGT in yrs and I happened to see it.

I've never noticed this before on any of the current talent shows. Does anyone else notice it?

DeSantis began 2023 as the best positioned Republican candidate to challenge Trump for the party's presidential nomination, according to polling tracked by 538. But he begins 2024 as another name on the growing list of rivals who failed to shake the former president's popularity among the GOP --- DeSantis' early actions since leaving the race have already sparked speculation that the governor, who is only 45, could make another White House run in the future. A source close to him said that he has privately expressed interest in running again as early as 2028 and has brought it up as...

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris called for a "meaningful pathway to citizenship" on Monday night amid efforts by President Joe Biden and Congressional leadership to try and reach a bipartisan national security deal that would fund border enforcement efforts and unlock military aid for Ukraine. During an interview with CNN's Laura Coates on Monday, Harris discussed the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, referring to it as a "long-standing problem." "There's no question that our immigration system is broken," Harris said. "And so much so, that as the first bill that we offered after our inauguration, was to fix the immigration...
