The following events did not take place in the Soviet Union or Cuba. None of this inhumanity was a figment of my imagination. I'm narrating the details without hyperbole. Recently, I took a ride through one amazingly affordable health care system — the one Obama and other notable Democrats paint as the "envy of the world." See how quickly you can figure out where this envy of the world dwells. Got your seat belt on? This liberal utopia is a bit bumpy. You enter a hospital emergency room. For two months prior, you suffered abysmal pain, unable to shower, straighten...

Whole Title: "New Jersey mayor vows to fight state law requiring public schools to teach LGBTQ curriculum and calls the plan 'an affront to almighty God' A New Jersey mayor referred to a plan to teach LGBTQ history in schools as 'an affront to almighty God' during a town council meeting. Barnegat Township Mayor Alfonso Cirulli made the comments on Tuesday evening after stating he opposed a state law that requires public schools to teach students the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people. The 60-year-old former assistant principal referred to the law as 'unrighteous' and said it...

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) indicated an “assault weapons” ban and other gun controls would be “front and center” when the Senate reconvenes in September....

Just one day before he turned 45, Colin Dowler didn't think he'd live to celebrate it... the avid outdoorsman was scouting backcountry trails outside of Powell River, B.C., on his mountain bike, about seven kilometres away from a nearby logging camp. After making his way down one of the hills onto the logging road, he caught sight of a large male grizzly bear, walking in his direction. "I wasn't really sure what to do about the situation," Dowler said from his Vancouver hospital bed. "I largely stood there, and let the grizzly keep walking up towards me." Concerned of making...

There are either blocked or reduced to 1 second just happened in the pasts few hours but not CNN or MSNBC stuff....doesn't that fall into the same copyright law?

The goal of the 761st is we want to change the perception of the black gun owner within the black community,” Amoah said and explained the club serves as a meeting place for African Americans to share knowledge about firearms, firearms law, and issues relevant to the community. But at the heart of the club is gun education, particularly for local gun ownership. “What we’ve noticed is that people want to be involved with the firearm but they don’t know what the first step is,” he said. “We want to show them what the FOID card is, how you obtain...

“‘But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins’—then He said to the paralytic, ‘Get up, pick up your bed and go home.’ And he got up and went home” (Matthew 9:6–7). It’s not unheard of for people to trap themselves by their own theology and logic. That’s what happened with the scribes and Pharisees during this episode. They believed that disease and physical suffering were results of sin, and that removing the disease would equate with removing the sin that caused it. By that reasoning, all healing would have to...

[Catholic Caucus] Pope grants extensive interview -- God left unmentioned The Bishop of Rome granted today an extensive interview to Italian daily La Stampa, aligned with his policies due to the influence of its former columnist and current papal journalistic czar Andrea Tornielli. The interview deals mainly with two issues: the European Union and the dangers of "sovereignism"; and the "Amazon Synod". The Pope says a woman (Ursula von der Leyen, upcoming European Commission President) will bring the EU back to the spirit of its "Founding Fathers"; and he says the priestly ordination of married men ("viri probati") is...

FERGUSON, Mo. – It has been five years since Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson. In that time, Ferguson has grown as a city. The mayor has said he doesn’t want the anniversary to reopen any scabs. Instead, he hopes the city will continue toward growing stronger together. As Fox 2’s Katherine Hessel reports, there are several events planned for the anniversary in Ferguson and across St. Louis County. 9 a.m. - Michael Brown Sr. will ask for his son’s case to be reopened. St. Louis County Justice Center in Clayton 11 a.m. -...

In the wake of two mass shootings in El Paso, Tex. and Dayton, Ohio that took the lives of more than thirty people, University of California-Berkeley Chancellor Carol Christ sent a university-wide email demanding politicians take "concrete steps to remove weapons of war." Initially, the email strikes a mournful and empathetic tone. It calls the UC-Berkeley community to “open our hearts” and “offer condolences to the friends, family, and colleagues of those who were slaughtered over the weekend.” Christ goes on to say “we cannot and must not, turn a blind eye to emerging evidence suggesting that at least one...

Dallas became the place where the weight of the world seemed to melt away — the place where the good outweighed the bad for the first time in days. When we arrived at our gate at Dallas’ Love Field, I noticed a few camera crews waiting. I didn’t think much of it. Perhaps they were waiting for a politician or a newsmaker. A few minutes later, a gate agent from Southwest Airlines appeared and started handing out American flags.

Why does the United States refuse to pass new gun control laws? It’s the question that people around the world keep asking. According to Dr Jonathan Metzl, a psychiatrist and sociologist at Vanderbilt University, white supremacy is the key to understanding America’s gun debate. In his new book, Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America’s Heartland, Metzl argues that the intensity and polarization of the US gun debate makes much more sense when understood in the context of whiteness and white privilege. White Americans’ attempt to defend their status in the racial hierarchy by opposing...

British university students are risking their lives to take part in unlicensed boxing fight nights. In a craze that is sweeping university students across the nation, young men are willingly stepping into a boxing ring to fight each other in front of glamorous women and cheering crowds. Footage from a recent bout in warehouse in Cardiff shows a man, Dan 'The Duster Davis', strut into the arena to bass heavy beats. Following him is his entourage as smoke machines and plumes of gold sparkles illuminate their entrance.

Far-left actress and activist Bette Midler suggested that President Donald Trump is inciting murderous gunmen to do his “dirty work” in an all-caps tweet referencing the heinous El Paso shooter, who took 22 lives and injured dozens more. “REMEMBER WHEN #DonaldTrump SAID HE COULD SHOOT SOMEONE ON FIFTH AVENUE AND GET AWAY WITH IT?” Midler asked her 1.7 million Twitter followers. “WELL, HE DIDN’T SHOOT SOMEONE HIMSELF, BUT HE INCITED OTHERS TO DO HIS DIRTY WORK FOR HIM, AS HE HAS DONE HIS WHOLE LIFE.”

A report from the Pentagon inspector general found that President Donald Trump’s decision to rapidly pull troops out of Syria and divert attention from diplomacy in Iraq has inadvertently aided the Islamic State’s regrouping in Syria and Iraq. The Department of Defense’s quarterly report to Congress on the effectiveness of the US Operation Inherent Resolve mission said that “ISIS continued its transition from a territory-holding force to an insurgency in Syria, and it intensified its insurgency in Iraq” — even though Trump said ISIS was defeated and the caliphate quashed, The Wall Street Journal reported. Many officials and experts have...

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) The Bruce Ohr 302 reports were finally released last night – though in still-heavily-redacted form – and they show a lot of wrongdoing by the former high muckety-muck at the DOJ. The near-unbearable Sean Hannity managed to conduct an interesting interview with Rudy Giuliani on this topic last night, during which Hannity managed to keep his gaping yaw shut long enough for the former counsel to President Donald Trump to say some interesting things about the wrongdoing not just of Ohr, but his wife Nellie, ex-FBI Director and current National...

A radiation spike in Russia on Thursday may have been caused when one of Vladimir Putin's top secret Zircon hypersonic missiles exploded during tests, reports in the country have claimed today. Radiation levels temporarily soared 20 times above the normal level in Severodvinsk, a city 18 miles from the weapons testing site at Nyonoksa, according to Greenpeace citing the Russian Emergencies Ministry. Moscow has thrown a veil of secrecy over the incident yesterday in the sub-Arctic Arkhangelsk region, which left two dead and reportedly sparked 'panic' and 'hysteria' among residents and a rush to buy iodine from pharmacies. One report,...

“Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled” (Proverbs 9:4-5 KJV).

Falling asleep can feel like an impossible task sometimes. While some people fall asleep easier than others, everyone experiences the occasional sleepless night. Well, according to a new long-term study, the key to a better night’s sleep may just be looking on the bright side of life. Researchers from the University of Illinois say that the more optimistic a person is, the more likely they are to enjoy longer, more restful sleep patterns. “Results from this study revealed significant associations between optimism and various characteristics of self-reported sleep after adjusting for a wide array of variables, including socio-demographic characteristics, health...
