Estimates of projected weather in Ukraine show Europe might experience a mild winter, potentially throwing a wrench in Russian President Vladimir Putin's plans to use Ukraine's harsh winters to his benefit. Two weeks ago, a Russian politician suggested on state TV that the Kremlin should target Ukraine's energy supply, causing civilians to freeze and starve. Throughout October, Russia has increased its attacks on civilian infrastructure, targeting the electrical grid and plummeting parts of Ukraine into darkness and leaving some residents without a water supply. However, as winter approaches, new reports show Russia's plans to use cold weather to its advantage...

LifeSiteNews) — Thousands of foster children (most of them Black and Hispanic and poor) were force-fed HIV drugs known to be toxic to adults i to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s scathing new book about America’s beleaguered COVID czar. As many as 14,000 babies and children in at least seven U.S. states were conscripted by Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Genentech and other companies, and forced to take deadly antiretroviral drugs during an AIDS research spending frenzy overseen by Fauci as director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Many of them died. Pfizer HIV experiments Kennedy dredges up this dark,...

The Arlington County Board is voting Wednesday night on whether to create a civilian group overseeing police — and on just how much power such a body might have to launch independent investigations of misconduct by officers. The vote, more than a year after racial justice demonstrators nationwide called for greater scrutiny of police, particularly following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody, comes as other jurisdictions around the D.C. region and the country have taken similar steps to ramp up accountability. In Arlington, months of debate have centered on whether the civilian board should be able to...

About the Dumb, poor and lazy, according to some in the FBI.

Have you seen the video shot by a man walking his dog near Eugene Simpson Stadium Park in Alexandria, Virginia, of Wednesday morning’s ugly events? It’s soul-crushing. The video captured only about two and a half minutes of the fusillade unleashed by a former Bernie Sanders campaign operative named James Hodgkinson, an out-of-work home inspector from Belleville, Illinois and a committed member of The Resistance. Hodgkinson’s shooting spree actually went on for some 10 minutes, according to eyewitnesses, before two agents of the Capitol Police — Krystal Griner and David Bailey — attached to House Majority Whip Steve Scalise’s security...

Obama also considered a gay relationship while at college, twice proposed to another white girlfriend, and cheated on Michelle with his ex during the first year of their relationship. His past is revealed...

Ahh, so cute, rubbing shoulders with their celebrity friends, Tom Hanks and Bruce Springsteen no less, and on Geffen's boat! How could we get through the day without knowing where this poser was spending his exile. His only lasting effect on the office of the President of the United States was to continue Billy Boy Clinton's soiree into the world of the celebrity president. Lot's of stars at the White House, surely makes for good political policy. All he wants is to be rich and famous and all he is, is inconsequential; which will become more and more obvious as...

Neil Gorsuch is the first member of his family chosen for a seat on the Supreme Court, but he isn’t the only Gorsuch nominated by a U.S. president to a key government post. His mother, Anne Gorsuch, served as President Ronald Reagan’s first Environmental Protection Agency administrator and the first female leader in the agency’s history. But her short, tumultuous tenure was marked by sharp budget cuts, rifts with career EPA employees, a steep decline in cases filed against polluters and a scandal over the mismanagement of the Superfund cleanup program that ultimately led to her resignation in 1983. Anne...

Per link, 13% of California illegal immigrants admitted to voting per a recent article in the California Political Review. If we use California votes alone, it will wipe out Hillary's thin lead in the popular vote. If we very conservatively estimate on a national level (8 million illegal immigrants, 10% voting rate, 80% voting for Hillary) we come up with 640,000 votes. This completely blows away Hillary's lead, leaving Trump conservatively with a 400,000 vote lead.

Mere weeks ago, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) of Texas pressured Ohio Gov. John Kasich to get out of the race for the Republican nomination because he had no mathematical chance of winning....

Since time began, humans have fallen for the pipe dream that one can get rich quickly. Oh, it happens but real wealth usually takes several generations. Even Trump, who accumulated so much in his lifetime, had the advantage that few people enjoy. He had help with money and building experience from home. Ted Cruz's career has been equally successful especially considering the fact that he received little financial help from home and he has a father with no political experience or contacts. Cruz, with those disadvantages, received a Harvard education and rose to the position of a US Senator. Not...

Steve Miller spoke this morning at the Donald Trump town hall in Racine, Wisconsin. Miller destroyed Ted Cruz on the senator’s immigration and trade record. Miller pointed out that Ted Cruz supported the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal that will cost the US millions of jobs. Cruz also pushed to expand Muslim immigration into America. This is despite the fact that Obama has issued 68o,000 green cards to immigrants from Muslim countries in the last five years. The Cruz amendment would have doubled the number of Muslim immigrants to America to up to 1.35 million. Steve Miller added, “Why is it that...

A Queens elementary school teacher arrested on Thursday and accused of repeatedly sexually abusing two students had been investigated 10 years before for inappropriately touching students at another school, but was allowed to continue teaching with only a warning letter, officials said. Wilbert Cortez, a computer teacher at P.S. 174 in Forest Hills, was arrested Thursday morning and accused of molesting two boys, ages 8 and 9, over the course of the 2010-11 school year, the Queens District Attorney’s office said. Cortez was expected to be arraigned on Thursday night, and the DA’s office did not know if he had...

Here is a thought God laid on my heart last week in Israel that I wrote down to share with you today: I was in Galilee where Jesus called His disciples and where he lived. Nazareth is not far from Capernaum where I was staying. There is a Hebrew word bayit which means “house.” It has a wide range of meanings; it refers to a house, a temple, a family, a lineage. King David wanted to build a bayit for God. The Lord declares to you, “The Lord himself will establish a bayit (house) for you.” The Apostle Paul talked...
