The documents, which were FBI affidavits, were released following a lawsuit brought by several media outlets FBI documents made public Tuesday, show that Roger Stone, shortly after the Mueller Russia collusion investigation began, communicated to Julian Assange, telling the Wikileaks founder that he would step in if prosecutors came after Assange. “I will bring down the entire house of cards,” wrote Stone to Assange in a private Twitter message. “As a journalist it doesn’t matter where you get information only that it is accurate and authentic,” Stone told Assange in a message from the summer of 2017. “Between CIA and...

LAKE ORION, Mich. – Canterbury Village is postponing drive-in movies that were scheduled this week and next week. The postponement announcement was posted to the Canterbury Village Facebook page with the message that the “governor just shut us down.” According to the post, the governor halted the event... Keith Aldridge, who owns Canterbury Village, said there were plans in place to make the drive-in safe and socially distanced. “We were limiting the amount of cars. Every car would get a 20-by-20 spot. You could listen to the movie on your FM radio and we decided against trying to do concessions,"...

My dear friends, A goofy title... yes... but the question at hand is a simple one. WHAT WILL WE DO/WHO WILL WE CHOOSE? Will we continue to look for worldly solutions and human saviors in this demonically driven fallen temporal world or will we finally come to the end of ourselves and finally trust in and look to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS KING of kings and LORD of lords; who is the WONDERFUL COUNSELOR and PRINCE of PEACE (Isa. 9:6-7, Rev. 19:11-16). All ETERNITY is before us and our brief existence in this fallen world is a "snap of the finger"...

'What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired? A senior FBI official's handwritten notes from the earliest days of the Trump administration expressed concern that the bureau might be "playing games" with a counterintelligence interview of then-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to get him to lie so "we could prosecute him or get him fired." The notes and other emails were provided to Flynn's lawyers under seal last week and released Wednesday night by court order, providing the most damning evidence to date of potential politicalization and misconduct...

My dear friends, right before our Lord's crucifixion and execution, His disciples - as they looked upon Herod's Temple from the Mount of Olives - asked Jesus, "when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world (Matt 24:1-3)?" The very first reply given by our Lord to His disciples was the very stern warning, "Take heed that no man deceive you!" (Matt. 24:4)! How amazing that our Lord, with ALL PERFECT understanding and perception, PERFECTLY knew; the spirit and the EXPONENTIAL power of media which would EXPONENTIALLY dominate...

She was never a stereotype. That was my thought earlier this month when I heard that “Mia,” as the Land O’Lakes Native American maiden was known, had been taken off the butter box. She was gone, vanished, missing. I knew Mia had devolved into a stereotype in many people’s minds. But it was the stereotype some saw that bothered me. North Dakota state Rep. Ruth Buffalo (D), for instance, told the Pioneer Press in St. Paul, Minn., that the Land O’Lakes image of Mia went “hand-in-hand with human and sex trafficking of our women and girls … by depicting Native...

Across the country, the number of 911 calls for strokes and heart attacks has plummeted between 25 and 35 percent, according to the American Heart Association. Doctors say patients are afraid to go to the hospital because they fear they will get the coronavirus, but that could have life-threatening consequences. “We are scared about that. We think that people are not getting the care that they need,” said Dr. Ira Dauber, a cardiologist ... a possible heart attack far outweighs the potential of COVID exposure at the hospital. ... If you don’t get care immediately, your risk of dying is...

Gov. Brian Kemp appears poised to ease social restrictions that created disruptions for millions of Georgians amid a still-spreading global pandemic. A month-old shelter-at-home order is set to expire just before midnight Thursday. But Kemp kept Georgians in the dark Wednesday about what comes next in the state’s fight against the coronavirus. *** But by easing the restrictions, Kemp would be disregarding dire warnings from public health officials. *** Easing restrictions now would cause the virus to strengthen and spread, said Rebecca Mitchell, an epidemiologist and visiting assistant professor at Emory University. Mitchell is running as a Democrat for a...

SAN ANTONIO — Governor Greg Abbott identified contact-tracing as a critical element in his plan to reopen Texas—and stop the spread of the novel coronavirus, which has killed nearly 700 across the state. When a person tests positive for the virus, tracers contact the patient and create a timeline of where that patient has been and with whom he/she has been in contact. “Time is of the essence. We need to identify these contacts as early as possible,” said Anita Kurian, assistant director of the Communicable Disease Division with San Antonio Metro Health. Kurian said the first objective is to...

Harrison Ford is under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration after once again experiencing an aviation mishap. Last week, the Star Wars actor, 77, was piloting a plane in Los Angeles when he crossed a runway at Hawthorne Airport, despite receiving radio instructions to stay back as another aircraft was landing. Ford released a statement obtained by EW on Wednesday, saying the "runway incursion" was due to his misunderstanding of the orders and that luckily, no one was harmed.

“The Greg Gutfeld Show" was the most-watched late-night program in all of television in total viewership with 2.9 million total viewers, topping all broadcast and cable comedy programs, including CBS’ Late Show with Stephen Colbert, NBC’s The Tonight Show and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live,” the network said in a statement. With the late-night shows on the big three networks increasingly diving into hardcore, left-wing waters, it is notable that someone who is not following the leftist line has made such headway with viewers. And it is on cable, airing on Saturday night, where there are typically fewer viewers than network...

These researchers looked at 150 consecutive ICU admissions with proven [2] COVID-19 infections. 11.7% of these patients developed clots, most often from clots that formed in the legs and traveled to the lungs, termed pulmonary emboli, further impairing the lungs' ability to absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Matched patients with non-COVID acute respiratory distress syndrome, ARDS had a 4.8% incidence of DIC. The clotting associated with COVID-19 was similar, but not the same, prompting researchers to speculate that the underlying cause of clotting disorders in COVID-19 infections is different. Why? Short answer: no one knows; it is called a...

On this date in 1574, nobleman Joseph Boniface de La Mole was beheaded in Paris for a supposed plot against the king. As the year would imply, La Mole was a casualty of France’s decades-long Wars of Religion. Two years prior, in an attempt to cement an unsteady peace, the king’s sister Marguerite de Valois had been married off to the Protestant Henri of Navarre. As Paris teemed with Huguenots in town to celebrate the nuptials, the Catholic party sprang the infamous St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre. As if things weren’t awkward enough with the in-laws, Henri was now made to...
