As the Trump administration is reportedly preparing to deploy 100 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to Minnesota, home to an estimated 87,000 people with Somali ties, Lutheran church leaders are pushing back against federal immigration enforcement actions with evangelism. Last Tuesday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said ICE agents are being deployed to the Twin Cities to specifically target the Somali community, which has faced allegations of rampant fraud involving the state’s benefit system after federal prosecutors charged dozens of individuals with stealing over $300 million from the Federal Child Nutrition Program through Feeding Our Future, a Minnesota-based nonprofit....

Today, Governor Larry Rhoden urged Attorney General Marty Jackley to investigate a new abortion ad campaign, which appears to conflict with South Dakota’s proud pro-life stance. He made this request in a letter, which you can find here. The Attorney General quickly agreed to pursue the investigation. “South Dakota has the most pro-life laws in the nation – I am proud of that fact,” wrote Governor Larry Rhoden. “This advertising campaign threatens the lives of children yet to be born in our state, and it also threatens the health of South Dakota mothers, as chemical abortions are four times as...

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has finally released its hotly-anticipated “gold card” allowing deep-pocketed foreigners to purchase US visas. Trump told reporters at the White House that it would function “somewhat like a green card” letting foreigners become instantly eligible for permanent residency status to work in America. Individuals have to pay $1 million to US Treasury coffers, while companies will have to fork over $2 million to keep employees. The Department of Homeland Security will conduct a background check on all applicants to make sure they are qualified. After five years, any gold card-carrying permanent resident can apply for...

In an age of moral confusion and cultural uncertainty, people are drawn to those who actually believe what they say—who live as if their core convictions are real and unshakable. This may explain the quiet shift unfolding in England. For the first time in centuries, the Catholic Church surpasses CoE in active attendance. Among young people, Catholics outnumber Anglicans. In London, the shift is even more pronounced. The tide is turning—and it’s not turning toward trendy liturgies or progressive theology but toward clarity, continuity, and conviction. Every Anglican worldwide, and every Episcopalian in the U.S., knows that even after 500...

The gravitational anomaly happened around the same time as a geomagnetic "jerk" -- an abrupt change...

A new multi-site study shows that people with cystic fibrosis (CF) who start the triple-drug therapy elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) can safely reduce many of their daily lung treatments while maintaining good health for years. "This is incredibly meaningful for individuals and families living with CF," said lead author Scott Sagel, MD, Ph.D. "For decades, people with CF have spent hours every day managing their disease. Our findings show that many have stepped back from some of those time-consuming therapies thanks to ETI." ETI helps the malfunctioning protein that causes CF work more effectively, allowing the lungs to function better from the...

Where moonbats have been allowed to dominate it, education is not about education; it is about moonbattery. This includes introducing prepubescent children to sexual depravity: A Maryland middle school presented a slideshow to 6th graders celebrating “Transgender Awareness Week” where the children were given a lesson that included “advice for coming out” and “8 tips for being nonbinary.” This time it isn’t Baltimore but Bethesda. Westland Middle School is a public school financed by taxpayers. Indoctrination included “a video that was produced by the LGBT educational resource provider Pop’n’Olly.” In no sane world would an “LGBT educational resource provider” be...

I love her. She comes in, does nothing but b*****. She’s always complaining,” Trump said. He went on to hammer her country of origin, Somalia, amid evidence of embezzlement, migration fraud, and welfare cheating in Minnesota by Somali migrants. “She comes from her country where, I mean, it’s considered about the worst country in...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) highlighted how he wanted “to see” transgender children, and that there is “no governor that’s done more pro-trans legislation” than he has.

That’s an issue no one wants to hear about because 80 percent of the people listening disagree with my position on this,” Newsom shared. “But it comes from my...

A new study has found that collagen production and skin renewal directly respond to the amount of vitamin C we eat. The study shows that skin vitamin C levels are closely tied to levels of the vitamin in the blood (plasma) and can be boosted by increasing fruit intake. Carried out on two dozen healthy adults, the study shows that boosting plasma levels by consuming two vitamin C-rich kiwifruit per day increases the amount of the vitamin in the skin, improving skin thickness (collagen production) and stimulating renewal and regeneration of the outer skin layer. Professor Vissers says, "We are...
