Could Edward John Smith save the Titanic? We know from history that tragically he never could have. The ship was doomed and no optimistic appraisals nor remedies could have saved that doomed wounded ship from its final demise. Now, will Donald Trump be re-elected in November of 2020, and if so, will he be able to save an American social and cultural wasteland with half of this nation at war with him 24/7! Those who fully oppose him, fully embrace national godlessness and lawlessness, its horrific social destructive forces and hardcore socialism and marxism (View this post's title image above)?...

I met Kristine Luken posthumously. She and a mutual friend, Kay Wilson, were victims of a terrorist attack in Israel in 2010. Miraculously, Kay survived. Upon meeting Kristine’s twin sister Kathleen, I felt like I was meeting an old friend. Non-Israelis are not enveloped in the community as are other families of victims, nor are they remembered on Yom Hazikaron, Memorial Day, this week when Israel remembers nearly 24,000 soldiers and terror victims. Being outside Israel, families like Kristine’s are excluded. Not deliberately, just circumstantially. Mourning Alone“I’ve never met anyone who has lost a loved one to terrorism. I searched...

What will keep you out of Almighty God's ETERNAL PERFECT and RIGHTEOUS Heaven will not be your application and practice of a moral and conservative lifestyle but REJECTING Almighty God's saving solution that is only found in Jesus Christ the Lamb of Almighty God. (John 3:36, Rom. 10:2-4). No doubt there is much more to comprehend about each individual's personal decision on this matter but whatever the hurt or pain or sorrow or addiction, Almighty God wants to help you and to bring you unto Himself; to love you and ETERNALLY heal as only He can (John 3:16-17)! Only Almighty...

In March, when a former aide to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden accused the candidate of sexually assaulting her in 1993, two people came forward to say that the woman, Tara Reade, had told them of the incident shortly after it allegedly occurred — her brother, Collin Moulton, and a friend who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution. Now two more sources have come forward to corroborate certain details about Reade's claims. One of them — a former neighbor of Reade's — has told Insider for the first time, on the record, that Reade disclosed details about the...

Deaths at nursing homes now account for nearly half of all COVID-19-related fatalities in Connecticut. Newly released statewide numbers show a dire increase in cases and deaths. At least one resident has died in the majority of the state’s nursing homes. And death rates at some facilities are approaching one in four residents. The state chief medical examiner said last week some nursing homes aren’t reporting deaths. Governor Ned Lamont ordered nursing homes to make daily status reports to the state. The president of the state’s largest nursing home association said facilities have followed all guidance and best practices. At...

I am one of the purportedly most vulnerable among us, elderly and with chronic lung problems, so I appreciate all the sacrifices the rest of society are making to protect my life. But even as an ostensible beneficiary of the lockdown, I worry that these sacrifices are just not worth it. I appreciate the efforts to save my life, but I would rather my children and grandchildren face a world that is not bankrupt. I think many of us in the later stages of life worry less about prolonging the lives we have already lived for so many years and...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) urges workers to refuse to go back to their jobs when the country reopens for business. "One thing I think we have learned from the lockdown is that life can be very comfortable," she observed. "I, for one, have been enjoying the leisure I've gained while sheltering at home. I imagine that the same is true for the vast majority of Americans. The unemployment benefits that congress has approved have actually increased the weekly income for large numbers of those who lost their jobs during the shutdown. In New York, for example, unemployment benefits on...

Since 1995 the United Kingdom and Wales has had five flu seasons that were worse than the current coronavirus outbreak. And yet there were no screaming headlines and no lockdowns. Draconian lockdowns were not considered necessary back then. And the previous flu outbreaks hit children and young adults. Via Andrew Bostom.

... "There was a lot of pressure in pretty much all of these American cities to reopen," said Navarro, whose research was done in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "When they removed those restrictions too soon, then many cities saw a resurgence in cases." The center's research found that cities that used "early, sustained and layered" practices such as social distancing, closing public events and stay-at-home orders "fared better than those that did not." ...

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (WHEC) — A Pittsford pizza parlor that had been charging ahead on plans to reopen its dining room has called those plans off. Earlier on Sunday, the owner of Pizza Stop announced that he had enough space at his Monroe Avenue location to safely seat people, and that he'd be reopening his dining room with social distancing on April 30. He pointed out that there were some stores where people ended up closer together, but the town has since warned him that he would lose his permit if he tried it. As of Sunday night, the restaurant has...

Results of antibody survey last week in Los Angeles suggested that the death rate from the virus could be as low as 0.18% of COVID-19 patients. The survey found that the number of infections in the city was 330,000, much higher than the 7,994 infections city officials reported on April 20. Meanwhile, an antibody study last week in New York City found that 1 in 5 (21.2%) of residents have already been infected with the coronavirus, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on Thursday. There are 8.5 million people in New York City, so that means 1,802,000 residents in New York City...

A judge has ruled that a Virginia gun range must be allowed to open to customers despite a statewide executive order requiring nonessential businesses to close to slow the spread of the coronavirus. The order issued Monday by Lynchburg Circuit Judge F. Patrick Yeatts says federal and state protections on the right to bear arms outweigh any emergency authority held by Gov. Ralph Northam to order the gun range closed.

Is a common heartburn drug a treatment for the COVID-19 virus? A common heartburn drug being tested by a group of New York hospitals may show promise in treating the COVID-19 virus, according to a story from ABC News. The hospitals, which have only just made the study public, have been testing the effectiveness of famotidine, the active ingredient in over-the-counter heartburn medications like Pepcid. Hospitals in the Northwell Health network in the New York City area have been using large doses of famotidine in IV form to treat patients critically ill with the COVID-19 virus. The 187 patients in...

The chairman of Tyson Foods has issued a stark warning to Americans following the shuttering of multiple meat processing plants across the country: “The food supply chain is breaking.” In an open letter published as a full-page ad in Sunday’s New York Times, Washington Post and Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, John H. Tyson outlined Tyson Foods’ response to the ongoing coronavirus health crisis, but hinted that further closures — not only of Tyson Foods facilities, but competitors’ facilities as well — would put stress on the nation’s food supply. "Millions of animals – chickens, pigs and cattle – will be depopulated because...

Pro-abortion Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi quoted the Bible again Sunday to defend her plan to release prisoners early during the coronavirus crisis. The speaker of the House often touts herself as a devout Catholic and a compassionate individual, and she frequently quotes scripture to justify her political actions. In an interview Sunday with MSNBC host Joy Reid, Pelosi used a passage from the New Testament to explain why she is advocating for the early release of certain prisoners in a new coronavirus relief bill, Townhall reports. “In our caucus, we are very devoted to the Gospel of Matthew,” Pelosi said....

What a truly wonderful time it is to be alive. Not only can you get abortion medication in the mail while remaining safe and comfortable in quarantine, you also get your favorite Hollywood stars, like Jamie Lee Curtis, to give you friendly and smiling advice on setting up a “virtual meeting” with abortion doctors, so that you’ll never be confused on how to get rid of your unborn child, no matter where you are. The Knives Out and Halloween actress announced via Twitter that she had been named the “proud” “spokesperson” for the baby-killing organization’s “Telehealth” program (‘Knives Out for...
