While California is already notorious for having a massive welfare state -- accompanied by massive amounts of welfare fraud -- a new report revealed the extent to which California handouts bankroll illegal aliens. The report from City Journal fellow Christopher Rufo, joined by Kenneth Schrupp and Austen Hufford, even described the programs as a "shadow welfare system." Among other benefits, foreigners can receive "health care, rental assistance, college grants, tax credits, low-cost car insurance, and even smartphones on the taxpayers’ dime," the report said. The team from the City Journal visited four welfare offices in California -- where employees admitted...

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (10/5/26)[Prayer]Personalities Psalm 43[a]1 Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked. 2 You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy? 3 Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell. 4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with...

When political opponents become existential threats, violence can begin to look like virtue. America traditionally has had a rather simple method for dealing with politicians we don’t like. We vote against them. We argue, campaign, write letters, give speeches, hold rallies, donate money, put obnoxious signs in our yards, and ultimately go to the ballot box. What we don’t do is shoot them. Or at least that used to be the understanding. Some disturbing new polling suggests that boundary is eroding. The Overton Window on political disagreement is shifting. University of Chicago political scientist Robert Pape, director of the Chicago...

...The theory of the case is simple: the intelligence community and deep state tactics used for regime change abroad were turned inwards and weaponized against President Trump.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — An ambulance is designed to save a life, but Wednesday night, one was called to Riverbend Maximum Security Prison after the State of Tennessee tried to end one. The failed execution of Christa Pike, who was sentenced to death for brutally torturing and murdering 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville in 1995, has raised a lot of questions, including why prison officials called emergency medical services so Pike could receive lifesaving care after attempting to execute her just minutes prior. Pike received two doses of the lethal drug, pentobarbital and survived on Wednesday. According to Pike’s attorneys,...

Hachette is a French company that is also one of the big 3 foreign publishers that have taken over the American book industry. Like its German counterparts, Hachette has pushed out toxic woke garbage like ‘In Defense of Looting’ while suppressing books by conservatives and critics of woke abuses. Now, Hachette has managed to publish a book by an Iranian author accusing Jews of punctuation genocide. The book is “On the Mark: From Periods to Interrobangs, How Punctuation Remade the World” by Florence Hazrat, who has an Iranian background, and no survey of punctuation could not be complete without claiming...

I have dug through over 7,000+ arrest records in the state of North Carolina over the past 2 weeks. What I found was so shocking, I had a hard time believing it myself... It appears major fraud is taking place in arrest records where Black offenders are labelled White. I didn't come across this once or twice. It appears that a few HUNDRED Black offenders are being labelled as White. The option to pick "BLACK" exists and is used frequently in arrest records... ...but it seems they are purposely choosing the label of "WHITE AFRICAN" or "WHITE CAUCASIAN" to identify...

I’ve already written volumes about the lawfare abuses of the Administrative Procedures Act, which was meant by FDR to restrain the massive bureaucracy he had brought into being, and which in the Trump era was reinvented as a blank check for any leftist group looking for a leftist judge to block anything and everything that the Trump administration might be doing. And so any federal judge could ‘arbitrarily and capriciously’ decide that an administration action that he or she doesn’t likely is ‘arbitrary and capricious’ and block it because it doesn’t have a reason that the judge likes. This effectively...

A California realtor has been arrested at LAX after being accused of spying for China. Wanying Zhang, also known as "Heather," was busted at the airport Sunday as she tried to board a flight to Shanghai. The 34-year-old, who lives in Irvine, Orange County, is accused of working with handlers from the People's Republic of China to surveil the son of Taiwan's president Ching-Te Lai. 'We have a problem with Beijing using Chinese-Americans for their own purposes in California," AG Bill Essayli said. "They are using them for their own foreign affairs because they are playing the long game to...

Mark Ruffalo warns that Democrats need to be watchful for voting machine manipulation and suggests Elon Musk could be involved: "We need to be on guard for what we may not see coming -- ELON." "That's the cybersecurity of these elections." "We know that these systems are vulnerable." We have been reliably informed for years that this kind of rhetoric Undermines Faith In Elections and is Very Dangerous To Democracy

"Like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation" (1 Pet. 2:2). Scripture is our source of spiritual growth. A newborn baby was abandoned in a pile of trash in a city alley. The mother had obviously left it there to die. The infant was near death when someone heard its faint cry and summoned medical help. The child survived, but not until it had received the attention and nourishment it needed. That situation has a spiritual parallel, which Peter used to illustrate the believer's dependence on God's...

Shattering the "Enemy of My Enemy" Narrative: The Ideological Reality of Pro-Nazi Sentiment in Arab Mandatory PalestineWhen evaluating the historical alignment of the Palestinian national movement with Nazi Germany during World War II, a common revisionist defense is the "enemy of my enemy" framework. This narrative posits that pro-Axis sympathy was merely a reluctant, pragmatic calculation aimed at leveraging German power to expel British colonial rulers and block Zionist immigration - exclusively. However, primary archival records, intelligence reports, and firsthand accounts from prominent political insiders dismantle this defense, demonstrating that popular Palestinian alignment with Nazism was widespread, enthusiastic, and fundamentally...

Daily Readings from the USCCBJesus replied, “A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead. A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. Likewise a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight.” Luke 10:30–33Jews viewed Samaritans as heretics, and Samaritans often harbored disdain for Jews. Though...
