Biblical archaeology has always fascinated me. It’s interesting to see the findings that archaeologists come up with, particularly when the digs turn up evidence that bolsters the veracity of biblical accounts.A recent find has scholars taking a look at the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem. 2 Chronicles 36:17-21 gives us that account:Therefore he brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or aged. He gave them all into his hand. And all...

When President Donald Trump talked about some of the things China has done to literally steal our democracy by seeing to it that, in 2020, its Manchurian candidate was elected in the form of a semi-comatose Joe Biden, many of the things he mentioned had already been in the news, but they may not have been covered by the legacy media.Case in point: Trump mentioned in his July 16 address to the nation that China stole TikTok data to create fake U.S. driver’s licenses.If you follow conservative media, you may have known this. If you get your news from the...

We have all heard it many times. According to “journalists,” claims made by President Trump regarding election cheating are “unfounded,” “disproven,” and/or “debunked.” However, irrefutable evidence of large-scale 2020 election fraud exists. On Thursday night, the president outlined four specific areas of election concern. I’d like to address one of them: corrupt Michigan voter registrations in the 2020 election. Trump said, “Even when significant evidence of fraud has been detected, it has been buried and covered up.” The president is correct: Widespread evidence of Michigan fraud was detected before the 2020 election. After it was discovered and reviewed by the...

The answer, like so much else, goes straight back to the Qur’an. The fraud never seems to end; every day, there seem to be new cases. The Dallas Morning News reported Friday that “A Garland man who authorities say fled the United States while awaiting trial has been extradited from Qatar to face federal fraud and money laundering charges in Texas. Abdullah Anwar, 28, arrived in Texas on Friday and was being held in Collin County, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Texas.” SNIP> There are other similar cases elsewhere in...

There’s a short list of Hollywood directors who can turn practically anything into a massive global hit: Ryan Coogler, Greta Gerwig, James Cameron. But Christopher Nolan is in a class by himself. Of the eight movies he’s released since 2008, only one has failed to clear half a billion dollars at the box office, and even Tenet still managed to gross more than $300 million in the middle of a pandemic. He turned a three-hour biopic about a nuclear physicist into a nearly billion-dollar smash, and with The Odyssey notching Nolan’s biggest opening weekend yet, with $264 million worldwide, it’s...

Multiple reports from Ontario, Canada, quoted local First Nations members this weekend stating that the government did not properly warn them about the catastrophic wildfires that have engulfed entire communities, nor has it offered adequate response to put them out. “I’m really extremely angry with not just this government, but all levels of government, and the generations of underfunding that communities like mine have experienced, that emergency services have experienced,” Riley Yesno, a member of Eabametoong First Nation, told Canada’s CBC broadcaster in a report published on Sunday, calling the situation of the native communities of Canada “shameful.” Yesno denounced...

Britain’s migrant crisis risks being pushed back to ‘elephant in the room’ status by the government once again as new left-wing Prime Minister Andy Burnham declined to mention the policy area once in his first speech. Prime Minister Andy Burnham made a broad, if vague, speech on his governing priorities as he arrived at Downing Street to form his new government and commence governing on Monday afternoon, but some of the most important policy areas in the country went unspoken. The state seizing control of industries, homelessness, mental health support for young people, and welfare spending all got a namecheck...

Under a bright sun, families and curious neighbors streamed through the arches of the Islamic Association of North Texas Saturday afternoon. The Richardson mosque’s copper-colored dome caught the light as volunteers greeted visitors at the entrance, welcoming many who were stepping into an Islamic house of worship for the first time. The “Open Mosque Day” event had been months in the making, following other open house events that took place in Plano Saturday morning and Austin last week. It aimed to dispel stereotypes and misconceptions, especially regarding Shariah, that some Muslims say have plagued communities across Texas. “There are many...
