A California church is making headlines after nearly 1,000 people showed up to be baptized on Saturday at Corona Del Mar State Beach in Newport Beach, California. Gina Gleason, church director at Calvary Chapel Church in Chino Hills, told CBN News that the event, which was a record showing of baptisms for the church, was absolutely "remarkable." "California may be experiencing a spiritual revival," Gleason said. "It's remarkable and a significant number." Normally, the church — which is led by Pastor Jack Hibbs — sees 300 people show up for baptisms, but Saturday was unique in that nearly 1,000 people...

CNBC’s Jim Cramer’s insult gaffe to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) may have been a huge Freudian slip. Cramer expressed his frustration about the ongoing friction between the White House and U.S. Congress on a coronavirus aid package during the September 15 edition of Squawk on the Street. He perhaps got a bit too frustrated. Cramer said: “Madam Speaker, I’m listening to you and three days ago you told CNN you were optimistic about a deal.” Pelosi interjected: “I am.” But Cramer wasn’t buying it: “Really? I mean, I got to — I thought it got taken right off the...

President Donald Trump will travel to Philadelphia Tuesday to participate in an ABC News town hall, where he will attempt to win over undecided voters seven weeks before Election Day. The ABC News town hall will take place at the National Constitution Center, and will feature uncommitted Pennsylvania voters questioning Trump on a host of issues, with his administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic likely to dominate the evening. The town hall will be moderated by veteran ABC News anchor and Good Morning America co-host George Stephanopoulos. To abide by local coronavirus restrictions, the evening will feature live questions from...

During Monday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin said that President Trump’s campaign was “manufacturing” a false narrative that Black Lives Matter protest were violent. She actually recognizes them as ‘peaceful’ protests and all the chaos is being pushed by Trump and his administration… Pathetic! Talking about the two Los Angeles Country deputies being ambushed and shot in Compton, Hostin said: “I want to say that there’s no place for people to go and shoot officers that are sitting in their cars. My heart goes out to their families and their friends. I was so horrified to hear...

Netflix Cheer star and former Joe Biden presidential campaign surrogate Jerry Harris is under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for allegedly soliciting sexually explicit images and sex from minors, according to a report. USA Today stated Monday: The criminal investigation is based on allegations that were reported separately to police by Varsity Brands, a private company that dominates the cheerleading industry and handles everything from uniform sales to major competitions. In Aug. 1 letters to police in Florida and Texas, Varsity’s chief legal officer, Burton Brillhart, said the company learned of “inappropriate sexual conduct” allegations against Harris...

Kamala Harris was seen leaving an appearance in Miami where she was guarded by a Secret Service officer armed with an assault weapon - the same type of gun she vowed to ban. In the photos exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, the VP hopeful is seen leaving Florida Memorial University last week, ironically being protected by the same assault rifle that she promised to ban within the first 100 days of her term.

by Sam Rostock Democrat Vice-Presidential nominee Kamala Harris' very bad week just got a lot worse after a P.R. disaster in South Florida. Earlier, we reported how Harris was confronted by dozens of "Hispanics for Trump" protesters upon her arrival to the airport, who held up signs saying "No Communista!" and forcing her to alter her motorcade route: Then Kamala made an embarrassing gaffe to Hispanic business owners on live TV looking forward to a "Harris Administration, together with Joe Biden" which became a national joke all day on Twitter: Now, in the latest Florida mess, Harris visited a Venezuelan...

ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo walked back threats from last week that he would raise taxes on the state’s wealthiest should Washington fail to grant additional federal aid to state and local governments hit hard by COVID-19. “If Washington does not step up to the plate here and get us financial aid, we are going to be in a whole world of hurt for a long time. This state, between the state and the local governments we need about $50 billion,” the governor said Tuesday during an interview with Long Island Radio. New York budget officials have estimated a high...

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva is challenging LeBron James to match the reward money being offered in the hopes of arresting the gunman who ambushed two deputies in Compton over the weekend. In a radio interview Monday, Villanueva said he knows LeBron cares about law enforcement and a good way to show his support would be to pitch in on the reward, which has now increased to $200,000. The sheriff also said we need to appreciate "that respect for life goes across all professions." It's not known whether LeBron is aware of the sheriff's challenge but the Lakers star...

Scientific American on Tuesday endorsed Joe Biden, the first presidential endorsement in the magazine’s 175-year history. Its editors said they felt “compelled” to do so because President Trump’s well-documented rejection of science, from climate change to the coronavirus, has cost tens of thousands of American lives.

[Barf Alert] No, Woke Pontifical Academy for Life, there isn't a "Black Jesus"... Carrara marble is beautiful: the smoothness and intense light of this particular stone made it a favorite of masters in the Italian renaissance.One of the greatest pieces is, of course, Michelangelo Buonarroti's "Pietà", in the Vatican Basilica, carefully restored after an attack made on it in the pontificate of Paul VI. Since the marble is white, the sculpture is all white: not just skin...but draperies, clothes, everything -- obviously.Apparently, the currently woke-led Pontifical Academy for Life thinks attacking this image again, now virtually, is fair game for...

If President Trump defies today's swing-state polls and pulls off another upset, what will we have missed that could have been a clue? Here's a big one: Trump flotillas ... Trump flags bigger than American flags ... Trump truck rallies ... Trump shirts ... Trump underwear ... lawns that don't have a Trump-Pence sign or two but 50 or even 100 — a forest. Why it matters: To his diehard supporters, Trump isn't just a candidate. He's a lifestyle choice and a vehicle for self-expression — a way to continually flip the middle finger at big media, big business, big...

When 2020 began, who could have imagined that a virus from China would take us closer to the tribulation? However, COVID-19 has done exactly that. Since the virus first appeared in the United States, the goal line for easing government restrictions, lockdowns, quarantines, and face masks has continually changed. They have gone from flattening the curve, which the CDC said would take two to four weeks, to reduced hospital admissions, to everyone receiving a vaccination, and to Dr. Fauci recently stating that people can return to movie theaters only after the vaccine has been available for an entire year. But...

Democrats are backing away from vows to reverse President Trump's tax cuts if they take control of the Senate and White House. Senate Democrats had suggested they could move quickly on the issue, but now say they are likely to delay stand-alone tax legislation if Democratic nominee Joe Biden is elected president and their party controls the House and Senate. Instead, the priority will be on spending to create jobs and raise wages, investments in green technology and infrastructure and a national plan to contain the coronavirus pandemic. Some of those stimulus and relief bills could include tax incentives for...

A settlement has been reached in a wrongful death civil lawsuit between the family of Breonna Taylor and the city of Louisville. The deal includes $12 million for the family and more "significant" police reforms, including new drug testing rules for LMPD officers, an incentive for officers to live in specific neighborhoods and a new level of scrutiny over search warrants. Mayor Greg Fischer announced the changes at 2 p.m. with Taylor's family, attorneys Lonita Baker and Ben Crump, and others.

You may or may not care for Jackson Pollock’s work, or you may think it’s overrated, but his first drip paintings are nevertheless significant pieces in the history of art. The Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse owns the second drip painting Pollock ever completed—Red Composition (1946)—but it announced last weekend that it would sell it in order to fund its “anti-racist policies and programming”:
