Although, I will not give particulars to protect myself, God performed a miracle for me last night. I was traveling from my work camp to a gas compression station, which compresses LNG to allow it to flow through the pipes easier. The road I was traveling on was good, except for after the T-intersection, then it turned very ice with hard packed ice with grooves in the road that could catch your tire. I slowed down to about 50km/hr, trying to be safe. However, the road still caught my tire and I spun out of control. I had no control...

A new research project by Israeli and international scholars has digitally transcribed the texts featured in hundreds of thousands of fragments from the celebrated Cairo Geniza, as well as thousands of additional Hebrew manuscripts, the National Library of Israel announced on Monday. The project, dubbed MiDRASH (which is meant to loosely correspond to Migrations of Textual and Scribal Traditions via Large-Scale Computational Analysis of Medieval Manuscripts in Hebrew Script), was launched in 2023 after securing a €10 million ($11.5 million) grant over six years from the EU’s European Research Council (ERC). Virtually all the 400,000 fragments from the geniza have...

Now the only way to avoid this shipwreck, and to provide for our posterity, is to follow the counsel of Micah, to do justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly with our God. For this end, we must be knit together, in this work, as one man. We must entertain each other in brotherly affection. We must be willing to abridge ourselves of our superfluities, for the supply of others’ necessities. We must uphold a familiar commerce together in all meekness, gentleness, patience and liberality. We must delight in each other; make others’ conditions our own; rejoice together, mourn together,...

The Bible tells us very clearly that there is coming in the future a “Deception” so great that even believers will be fooled by it. That’s not really up for debate. The only thing up for debate is (1) what is it, and (2) has it already started? I’m going to give you my opinion on both of those questions in this article and then I want to hear what YOU think! First I have to put this in context. Third years ago, if I would have tried to have a serious debate and discussion about whether “aliens” are real,...

A comprehensive communication-scanning regime would allow national authorities to identify political opponents far more quickly -- a tool capable of making life hell for anyone inconvenient to those in power. It is Ursula von der Leyen’s personal flagship project: the surveillance of private chats. All signs suggest that as early as Wednesday, the EU will make a renewed attempt to establish a dedicated spying authority. Wednesday could mark a turning point in the history of the European Union. As MCC Brussels and MEP Martin Sonneborn warned on Monday, a decisive vote on the EU’s proposed “chat control” is scheduled for...

Post See new posts Conversation Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh 🚨 JUST IN: Parents are SUING a Colorado school after their 11-year-old daughter was FORCED to share a bed with a biological male, without even telling the parents That is absolutely DISGUSTING and INFURIATING. Transgenderism has gone way too far. "Putting that person into a s*x segregated bed with a girl is just completely UNACCEPTABLE." "A young girl who's on an overnight school trip, who finds out in the moment that not only is she sharing a room with someone with male genitalia, she is in a bed with that person!" "And...

“At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.”- John 19:41 As a literary device, this description of the burial place of Jesus Christ is effective; it offers a contrast between the site of Jesus’s death at the crucifixion site of Calvary (also called Golgotha, both derived from the Latin for “place of the skull”) and a fertile garden, brimming with life. It also provides a cyclical shape to the final chapter of the Christ narrative, which begins with his arrest in the...

According to tradition, “Sangre de Cristo”, which means “Blood of Christ” in Spanish, were the supposed last words uttered by a dying priest. Despite the legend, history suggests the name originated from a much more practical beginning: an expedition.

President Donald Trump Friday evening said he was ending deportation protections for Somalis in Minnesota "effective immediately." "Minnesota, under Governor [Tim] Walz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity," Trump posted on Truth Social. He continued, "I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota." Trump claimed that "Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER! President DJT." Minnesota has a sizable Somali population and the TPS program...

The Maine Supreme Court heard arguments last week in a case challenging a lower-court order barring a mother from taking her daughter to church because the girl’s father, who never married her mother, claims it is causing her “psychological harm.” Unholy Father Eleven months ago, Matthew Bradeen secured an order from the Portland District Court giving him the exclusive power to decide which religious activities his 12-year-old daughter, Ava, may participate in. Bradeen’s relationship with Ava’s mother, Emily Bickford, ended before Ava was born. Bickford has primary custody of Ava; Bradeen has visitation rights. Bickford and her daughter have been...

I must say I am very nervous, so…Well, thank you, Ambassador Waltz, for this invitation. It is an honour to stand on this stage with you and the other distinguished speakers here today, to shine a spotlight on the deadly threat faced by thousands of Christians in Nigeria. I would like to thank President Trump for prioritising this issue and for his leadership on the global stage, and calling for urgent action to defend Christians in Nigeria, to combat extremism, and to bring a stop to violence against those who simply want to exercise their natural right to freedom of...

As a Catholic, I've always thought the argument about women priests was a waste of time. There aren't going to be any, given Catholic Church doctrine. The Vatican is lately stringing the wokester women of the Church along on maybe deacons, but that's settled, too, the answer will be 'no.' It's hardly something to get upset about. Being a priest is just a role, and it doesn't give anyone an express route to Heaven if they don't behave. Why fuss about different roles played and insist on changing tradition which dates back to the Apostles when the idea is to...

The United States has experienced one of the largest declines in religiosity globally over the past decade, new research shows. There has been a 17-percent drop in in the number of U.S. adults who say religion is an important part of their daily life between 2015, when it was 66 percent, and 2025, when it is 49 percent, according to recent Gallup polls. This is the largest Gallup has recorded in any country over any 10-year period since 2007.

Thousands of posts on Biblical subjects by the grace of God. · 15h · Google AI claims when asked that it was written by people with diverse political opinions. How many of its developers were on the political right versus the left?I cannot say how many of AI claims were written by people with diverse political opinions, but based upon a 2020 report by CNBC[1] on “The most liberal and conservative tech companies, ranked by employees’ political donations,” then, as with most tech companies, we see Google as overwhelming liberal:Alphabet (Google) Democrats - $5,437,048 (88%), Republicans - $766,920 (12%)Some others...

Question: Whatever happened to some on the right who were so excited in 2022 to see one or two Muslim voices objecting to woke sex? In terms of organizational putting Mamdani on the map , it was Islam advocacy lobby: CAIR. Islam Mamdani appeared with trans flag. Zohran Mamdani pledges continued advocacy for transgender rights as Mayor of New York. November 7, 2025 — Zohran Mamdani, elected Mayor of New York City, secured a significant majority of the LGBTQ+ vote and has vowed to champion the rights of trans people.mygwork

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Sunday she will stop using “toxic” rhetoric, marking what would be a dramatic shift in a political brand hallmarked by derogatory comments. “I would like to say, humbly, I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics; it’s very bad for our country,” Greene said. “It’s been something I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated.” Greene said she realized that she has participated in or supported heated rhetoric that has resulted in threats toward others, a point of reflection for her. “I’m only responsible for myself and my own words...

If we’re being honest, it could just be that immigration is a lucrative issue for the bishops, while defending the unborn is not.America’s Catholic bishops are once again focusing their energies on immigration concerns, subtly undermining the Catholic Church’s teachings on the subject, while highlighting their hypocrisy on the defense of the unborn.The bishops might have a little more moral credibility on the issue had they authored a similar letter lamenting the never-heard cries of children boiled alive by saline solutions.Last week, 216 members of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops voted in favor of publishing a “special message”...

What did Jesus really know about the Book of Enoch and the Nephilim giants? Does the Bible hint at “extraterrestrials” cohabiting with mankind in a forgotten golden age? Glenn Beck sits down with ‪@TimothyAlberino‬ for a mind-blowing conversation that connects the dots from Genesis 6 to the coming post-human apocalypse. As futurists like Yuval Harari openly declare the end of humanity, gene editing, artificial wombs, IVF, and transhumanism are rapidly remaking man in a new image. Alberino issues a chilling wake-up call to Christians: “There’s only one qualification for redemption at the cross of Christ — you must be human.”...

They describe the system, called Circulatronics, as more of a treatment platform than a one-off brain chip. Working with researchers from Wellesley College and Harvard University, the MIT team recently released a paper on the new technology, which they describe as an autonomous bioelectronic implant.As New Atlas points out, the Circulatronics platform starts with an injectable swarm of sub-cellular sized wireless electronic devices, or “SWEDs,” which can travel into inflamed regions of the patient’s brain after being injected into the bloodstream. They do so by fusing with living immune cells, called monocytes, forming a sort of cellular cyborg.After they’ve been...
