Yesterday, Hong was winning until, magically, she was losing. It was a familiar story.If you’ve got a winning tactic, you don’t abandon it until it no longer wins. Back in 2020, Democrats claimed that their winning “tactic” was Joe Biden himself, an early-stage-dementia blowhard with a long family history that suggested corruption and a record of amazingly bad political stances. Republicans, however, suspected that the winning tactic was that Democrats in states in which they controlled elections legalized election fraud with mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, and the abandonment of voter ID. In addition, Trump supporters looked at data from the...

Popocatepetl volcano is just east of Mexico city and is the 5th highest peak in North America ( 17,694 feet (5,393 meters) tall.) It is erupting steam right now. You can slide the time backward to see the last 12 hours. This mountain is where I did my first technical climb following the "Ventorillo Route" up the inactive vent on the right hand skyline, across the saddle and up the glacier to the summit.

This is crazy! I hope someone knows how to post transcribed video.

The Left spent years destroying the norms it now invokes against Trump—and is outraged that Republicans learned the same playbook. One of the more surreal things about the new Democratic Party is its habit of charging Trump with legal and ethical transgressions that Democrats themselves normalized years ago. The result is a strange sort of projection, in which the Left’s charges often reveal its own prior wrongdoing. And after undermining norms, they now lament the loss of what they destroyed. Too Cozy an Attorney General? Democratic Senators voted unanimously against Todd Blanche for attorney general, claiming that, as a former...

A Texas high school teacher was reduced to tears and broke down in front of his class when he realized the seniors he was teaching couldn’t complete a writing exercise. Darius Williams, a teacher for Houston Independent School District’s Wheatley High School, said he couldn’t get through the first class of the second day of school before his students’ poor literacy skills were too much for him. “I just finished a three-hour class, and I literally broke down in the middle of class,” Williams said in an Instagram video during his lunch break on Tuesday. Williams, a New Education System...

Tyler Robinson wants to dodge the death penalty because his bullet only “hit the intended target” when it killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk, his lawyers wildly argued in new court documents. Robinson’s attorneys claimed that no other person was in danger during Kirk’s Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University last year — an aggravating factor that would make it a capital crime. “The only evidence presented supports that the bullet traveled above, not through, the crowd,” defense attorneys wrote in documents late Tuesday to stop the case from proceeding to trial. Prosecutors maintained that Robinson loaded his rifle...

Armed with new technology and a major mining partner, Visionary Metals is ready to probe just how big — and how valuable — a nickel discovery at Jeffrey City is. If realized, it will be a first of its kind in the Western U.S. since the 1940s. Visionary Metals made Wyoming’s first nickel sulfide discovery in the Granite Mountains north of Jeffrey City in 2024. This year, it’s moving into a decisive drilling phase as it tries to turn that find in the under-explored greenstone belt into Wyoming’s first and only nickel mine, producing a metal the federal government has...

Research done at the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) and published in July of 2026 shows the percentage and number of people carrying concealed handguns continues to increase. A survey of 1000 people conducted by McLaughlin & Associates on July 22, 2026 shows significant increases in the carrying of concealed handguns. In the last 19 months, from December of 2024 to July of 2026, the percentage of likely voters who carried all or most of the time increased from 13% to 15.7%, an increase of 2.7% of the sample. Those who carry sometimes/rarely increased from 11% to 15.2% or 4.2%...

"Love is patient" (1 Cor. 13:4). Love does not retaliate. We usually think of patience as the ability to wait or endure without complaint—whether it's with people or circumstances. But the Greek word translated "patience" in 1 Corinthians 13:4 refers specifically to patience with people. It literally means "to be long tempered," and speaks of one who could easily retaliate when wronged but chooses not to. That kind of patience is a spiritual virtue reflective of God Himself (cf. Gal 5:22). It can't be duplicated on a purely human level. But for Christians, it's to be a way of life....

Your local Kroger may be in danger of closing. A new report has revealed 39 Kroger supermarket stores some of which are identified under a different banner have closed its doors. The closings won’t end there though. Dozens more are set to close its doors by the end of 2026. Fox Business was the first to break the story and provided insight on what led Kroger to make the tough call: Kroger has closed at least three dozen stores since announcing plans last year to shutter 60 locations that were not “delivering sustainable results” by the end of 2026. The...

President Trump was right to highlight the Communist threat to our American way of life. During his address at Mount Rushmore, on the eve of our nation’s 250th anniversary, President Donald Trump warned Americans of a “resurgence of the Communist threat is now present in our country—including among newcomers who adopt ideologies that are fundamentally contrary to our way of life.” In this, the President rehashed the talk he gave at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference this past June, referring to the self-identified Socialist Democrats who won primary elections as “godless communists.” “These are not social democrats. These are...

Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond said Monday that he considers some “extreme” members of the Republican Party “fascist,” speaking at a Tulsa candidate forum his runoff opponent skipped. Drummond, who faces former state Sen. Mike Mazzei in the Aug. 25 Republican gubernatorial runoff, made the remark at an Aug. 11 forum at the University of Tulsa’s Lorton Performance Center, where he fielded questions from Tulsa Press Club members, according to KJRH. Mazzei did not attend. The attorney general framed the comment as part of his disagreements with other Republicans. “I aspire to be the governor of all. That sometimes draws...

Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf Islamic teacher in Dearborn, Michigan: "Despite all their technology, Americans are so uncivilized and backward, they wipe themselves with toilet paper. Allah sent us to civilize them because they are the lowest form of human nature. Christians are so jealous of us, their nation is dying!" This is what hatred for the nation that took you in looks like!

Daily Readings from the USCCBPeter approached Jesus and asked him, “Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus answered, “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times.” Matthew 18:21–22In the Book of the Prophet Amos, a poetic formula is repeated: “For three crimes of Damascus, and now four—I will not take it back…” (cf. Amos 1). By the time of Jesus, rabbinic tradition had adopted the interpretation of this passage to mean that God forgives three times, but not four and, therefore, so should we: “When a...
