New York State Attorney General Letitia James hammers conservative outfits over paperwork errors, but look how kind she is when the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a political ally, flouts state charity and elections law. CAIR and related entity CAIR Action jumped into New York Democratic primaries in June to endorse and fundraise for a host of anti-Zionist candidates, including the victorious Darieliza Avila Chevalier, Brad Lander and Claire Valdez. Setting aside CAIR’s links to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, this would be normal political activity — except that CAIR Action NY, though registered federally as a 501(c)(4), never registered with...

Now, I finally understand about Oil, and why it's extracted in one country, and shipped to another, instead of being refined here in the US. This gvies the Big Picture like never before, for me.

"In this you greatly rejoice" (1 Pet. 1:6). Contemplating your eternal inheritance should give you joy that transcends any temporal circumstance. Joy is a major theme in Scripture. The psalmist said, "Sing for joy in the Lord, O you righteous ones; praise is becoming to the upright" (Ps. 33:1); "My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to Thee; and my soul, which Thou hast redeemed" (Ps. 71:23). Even creation itself is said to rejoice in the Lord: "Thou dost make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy. . . . Let the heavens be glad, and...

Daily Readings from the USCCBJesus proposed a parable to the crowds. “The Kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field. It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.” Matthew 13:31–32Today’s Gospel presents two brief yet profoundly rich parables—the mustard seed and the leaven—each revealing distinct dimensions of the mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven. Together, they draw our attention to the Kingdom’s humble beginnings and...

Around 80 million years ago, a stretch of tropical coastline in what is now north-eastern Italy was lashed by monsoon rains and tropical cyclones. Those storms swept dinosaur carcasses, crocodiles, plants and river mud onto a tidal flat, where the tides and a film of microbes sealed everything away with extraordinary preservation.My colleagues and I have published a new study that reconstructs the violent tropical climate behind the Villaggio del Pescatore Lagerstätte near Trieste and reveals it preserves just four decades of life, recorded almost day by day. The Villaggio del Pescatore site near Trieste is one of the most...

Absolutely NOTHING appears in the CONUS North of about 39.5 degrees from the Pacific to the Atlantic oceans. This is quite unusual, I believe

James Bond may have to trade his licence to flirt for something more permanent after a former Bond girl urged the franchise's new writers to make him monogamous. Trina Parks, who starred alongside Sean Connery as Thumper the assassin in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever, has called for the new 007 to be a more faithful partner to "reflect the modern world". Parks said she hoped Amazon MGM could reshape the narrative of both Bond girls and the special agent himself. "Of course I would like them to keep the romance in, but perhaps not give him a multitude of partners,"...

It's been coming for a while, but this week, the once-conservative firebrand Tucker Carlson has doubled down on a version of reality that would make Iran's mullahs blush. Carlson used an appearance on the East Meets West with Olga and Tara podcast to unload on a provision in the fiscal year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act that would expand defense-technology cooperation between the United States and Israel. His verdict? Lawmakers who back the measure are acting against America's own interests, effectively merging our nations’ militaries.Carlson didn't stop at policy disagreement. He accused the Republican Party of handing the country's sovereignty...

Democrats are in deep trouble when it comes to money going into the midterms. That's on top of the internal drama, the phone-throwing, and the tantrums, according to the latest scoop on the Democratic National Committee (DNC).As we reported earlier, it appears to be so tight, they're asking vendors not to send bills until after the midterm elections. While the Republican National Committee is sitting on nearly $130 million, the DNC is $2 million in debt. They also reportedly had stopped transferring the millions they usually send to sister committees responsible for winning the House and Senate, because they were...

His patient was 17-year-old Milou Verhoof, a rape survivor who had endured profound psychological trauma. After years of unsuccessful treatment, she asked to be euthanised, and Mr Oosterhoff was the doctor who carried out her request. Now, years later, Milou's parents and Mr Oosterhoff are facing legal battles after 14 psychiatrists and doctors privately wrote to the Dutch public prosecutor asking to conduct...
