leading Muslim cleric said that adherents to the faith across the globe have a religious duty to build nuclear weapons to combat Israelis and Jews, according to a translation of his recent remarks broadcast on a television station controlled by the terrorist group Hamas. Muhammad Al-Hassan Ould Al-Dadou Al-Shanqit, a Mauritanian cleric, was interviewed on the Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV about efforts by Islamic countries to obtain nuclear weapons. While extremist regimes such as the Islamic Republic in Iran have claimed there are religious bans on the building of nuclear weapons, Al-Shanqit maintained it is "a duty" of Arabs to build...

The Bay Area was more racially segregated in 2010 than it was 40 years prior, a UC Berkeley paper published Tuesday found. Segregation in the Bay Area persisted and, in some cases, grew since 1970. Seven of the region’s nine counties had more segregation in 2010 than they did in 1970. The only two that saw declines — San Francisco and Alameda counties — remain classified as “high” segregation places. Meanwhile, Marin, Santa Clara, Sonoma and Napa counties had relatively large increases in segregation. That’s according to a brief from researchers at UC Berkeley’s Haas Institute for a Fair and...

Liberal pop singer Cher continued her Twitter rant today saying she wants to see President Donald Trump locked up in prison and made a 'Toy Boy of Big Bubba,' a term used to describe sexual assault by an inmate. The singer made the comments amid her Twitter tirade calling for Trump's impeachment following Robert Mueller's statement.But Cher quickly deleted before admitting she 'went too far' and needed to 'check herself.'

A Florida man was arrested earlier this month after allegedly calling 911 to brag about fleeing a traffic stop. Deputies say they pulled over Nicholas Jones, 19, on May 4 for driving his white Hyundai Elantra with a broken tail light. Before the deputy could reach the driver, he pulled a U-turn and sped off. About an hour later, 911 got a call from Jones. Deputies caught up with Jones the following day while shopping at a Ross clothing store. They say he laughed when they told him he had ratted on himself. “That’s funny. So I told on myself?”...

He is well known for predicting the election results for the president of the United States Presidential Election since 1984, including forecasting the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election remarkably early.Allan Lichtman

It appears that one good contradiction deserves another in the escalating back-and-forth between Attorney General William Barr and former special counsel Robert Mueller. On Wednesday, Mueller — in a very odd and irregular press conference — said that if he and his team of Democrat-aligned lawyers and 50 FBI agents could have proved that POTUS Donald Trump never obstructed justice during their ‘Russian collusion’ witch hunt, they would have said as much in the report Mueller filed with the Justice Department following the probe. Mind you, that’s the legal standard used in virtually every authoritarian country on the planet: Government...

Mullahs' Regime in Iran faces with several crises, all of which have the potential to trigger major protests, and that was before the announcement of new sanctions by the United States targeting the regime’s oil and metal sectors. A major crisis was triggered by the announcement of a spike in fuel prices. That led to extraordinary queues and protests at gas stations. Fearing large-scale protests, the regime was forced to announce that they won’t be raising gas prices. Another major incident was a large protest by workers, teachers, and pensioners outside the regime’s Majlis (Parliament) and its House of Workers....

Our nation’s immigration laws were enacted to protect national security, public safety, public health and the jobs and wages of Americans. Those laws are utterly and completely blind about race, religion and/or ethnicity. The 9/11 Commission was crystal clear in its findings that first and foremost, the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 and other attacks perpetrated by foreign nationals were only possible because of multiple failures of the immigration system. Failures of border security and a lack of interior enforcement have enabled criminal aliens, members of transnational gangs and terrorists to flow easily into the United States and, once...

'We Build The Wall Inc.,' a nonprofit that raised over $22.9M to build a barrier along the southern border, hit a snag when the local government issued them a Cease-and-Desist order. The group is pushing back against the ordinance, claiming they have all the necessary paperwork for construction. Founder Brian Kolfage called today's conference to unveil their progress so far, as well as answer for any tensions between his non-profit and the state of New Mexico. .....

​Meghan McCain ​on Thursday ​accused President Trump of creating an atmosphere in the military ​in which service members are afraid ​to display the name of her late father, Republican Sen. John McCain. “The president’s actions have consequences,” McCain, one of the hosts of ABC’s “The View​,​” said at the start of the program. ​”​And when you repeatedly are attacking my father and war heroes, it creates a culture in the military where people are clearly fearful to show my father’s name in one way or another. That is what I think has started this chain of events.​”​ ​McCain said Trump,...

“Ascension Joy” (Luke 24:44-53)How did you feel about going to church this evening? Were you happy and excited? If you were happy, were you more excited about the service or the ice cream social afterward? C’mon, admit it! No, seriously, did coming to an Ascension service tonight spark joy for you? Or were you instead a little grumpy about having to go to church on a Thursday night? Did you focus on the joy of being able to be in the presence of God, to hear his Word and receive the blessed Sacrament? Or did you complain about one more...

The right to keep and bear arms is one of the many things that makes America a truly great place to live. But in a Wednesday Tweet responding to an NRATV video promoting a rape survivor who now carries a firearm, CNN host Chris Cuomo appeared to dismiss her empowerment with a flippant “Only in America” chide.

Young American flyers arrive in war and discover that the bureaucracy is more deadly than the enemy.6 part miniseries

outh Africa’s parliamentary elections on May 8 were the sixth since democracy was introduced in 1994. They were held in an atmosphere of unparalleled national crisis almost entirely self-inflicted by the ruling African National Congress. Unemployment, 3.7 million when the ANC took over, is nearly ten million now. Poverty and inequality have grown exponentially while the governing elite loots and steals all it can. The country is now in its fifth consecutive year of falling real incomes, the chronic power cuts—suspended artificially for the election—are expected to last at least another five years, two out of the three rating agencies...

As things stand, America is likely to lose the tech war with China. The stock market should be sending a message to President Trump. U.S. semiconductor stocks are down 20% in the past month, and the broad market has been in freefall for a week. This is a war we can win, by mobilizing American ingenuity to produce technology that will crush the competition. No-one ever won a war by trying to stop someone else from doing something. I'm an Always Trumper, and I want the president to win another term. But he's risking the U.S. economy and his re-election...

RUSH: Have you seen the fake news? That Trump supposedly ordered the name of the USS McCrazy — sorry. Take two. Have you seen the fake news that Trump supposedly wanted to name the USS John McCain covered up in Japan – do believe this? You’d think that Trump had ordered the ship renamed the USS Keating Five, the way people are reacting to this. Man, oh, man, and now I’m hearing, folks, do you know what’s going around out there about what Mueller’s real problem with Trump is? I had not heard this. I have no idea if there’s...

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Alice Cooper became a Christian late in life but decided not to leave the world of hard rock because, he says, it's part of his testimony. In a short video clip of Pastor Greg Laurie's interview with Cooper, the rocker explains why he's still a member of Hollywood Vampires alongside Johnny Depp and Aerosmith's Joe Perry and has maintained his trademark look while performing songs such as his latest, "The Boogeyman Surprise." Cooper admitted that he once contemplated changing his name after he came to faith in Christ but his pastor advised him not...

TWITTER: NEW: Attorney General Barr tells @JanCBS he “personally felt” Special Counsel Robert Mueller “could've reached a decision” on obstruction of justice by President Trump. More on @CBSEveningNews tonight and @CBSThisMorning Friday. #CTM

A keynote speaker for the first-ever Revoice Conference, centered on same-sex attracted Christians, has rejected the idea that Jesus Christ wants the church to accept same-sex marriage. Wesley Hill, associate professor of New Testament at the Trinity School for Ministry based in Ambridge, Pennsylvania, said in his speech Saturday evening that Jesus did not support "trimming God's standard down to fit whatever chaos is true of our lives." "Jesus was not out to undermine God's holy will for our lives. If anything, Jesus ratcheted up the standard of sexual purity and sexual holiness," said Hill. "I mean, if God agreed...
