  • We’re in a Slow-Rolling Civil War, President Trump Needs to Recognize It

    As a general rule, I don’t want to see people hit by cars. At least, I used to not want to. And, I suppose, I still don’t, but I wouldn’t mind Democrats, in and out of the media, ALMOST hit by a car so they can experience that immediate fear that comes when it happens. Then they can lecture me about what the ICE officer who was actually hit by Renee Good should have done instead of defending himself from the idiot leftist who was either trying to kill him or so stupid that she’d put herself into a position...

    Sarah felt she had little left to lose. A 50-year-old entrepreneur in Tehran, she watched as prices soared higher while her freedoms shrank each year. So, when protesters started gathering in the high-end Andarzgoo neighbourhood of Tehran on Saturday night, she was quick to join them. In a video sent to the Guardian via her cousin who lives abroad, people walk through the street, joyous, despite a halo of teargas hanging over their heads. The crowd was mixed, with families, elderly people and men walking side by side. The mood was calm, until security forces approached, raised their assault rifles...

    Explanation: This floating ring is the size of a galaxy. In fact, it is a galaxy -- or at least part of one: the photogenic Sombrero Galaxy, one of the largest galaxies in the nearby Virgo Cluster of Galaxies. The dark band of dust that obscures the mid-section of the Sombrero Galaxy in visible light actually glows brightly in infrared light. The featured image, digitally sharpened, shows the infrared glow, recently recorded by the orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope, superposed in false-color on an existing image taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope in visible light. The Sombrero Galaxy, also known as...

    The final form of Iran’s future system whether a parliamentary constitutional monarchy or a republic should be determined through a free and fair referendum, without coercion or external imposition. Only the Iranian people have the sovereign right to shape their destiny through democratic processes. However, the international community has a moral and strategic obligation to listen to the voices from Iran’s streets and respond appropriately… Decisive policy is essential: combining “maximum pressure” on the regime through targeted sanctions, isolation, and accountability for human rights violations, with “maximum support” for the people. This includes moral encouragement through public channels, political backing...

    “In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him.“ - Acts 10:34 The Jewish members of the young church could have known that God's covenant promise is for all peoples, for it was already in the old dispensation that the Lord had promised His grace to the entire world. The prophet Joel, for example, predicts: "it shall come to pass that all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered" (Joel 2:32). And Matthew reminds his readers of another Old Testament prophecy, when...
