BEIJING — The domestic politics of major countries are never kept within their borders — and the future policy orientation of the United States has become a hot topic for many people in China. There is no denying the fact that China-U.S. relations have suffered serious damage over the past four years. Each country has expressed much complaint and concern about the other. The United States believes that China craves world hegemony. China sees the United States as trying to block China’s way forward and as hindering its people’s pursuit of a better life. It seems that both sides are...

"By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones" (Heb. 11:22). God uses your present circumstances to accomplish His future purposes. Like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Joseph was an heir to the covenant promises of God. His hope was firmly fixed on God, and he knew that some day his people would be at home in the Promised Land. Although he spent all his adult life in Egypt, never seeing the Promised Land for himself, Joseph's faith never wavered. At the end of his life, he...

Of course it’s not normal. Nothing has been normal since Trump won the 2016 election – because, you see, he wasn’t supposed to win. So the faction that lost has been working non-stop ever since to effectively abort the election, as that is what they do.Or does that just apply to babies?Instead of attributing the loss to their own epic failure to persuade at least half the country to embrace their left-of-Marxist plans for America and adjusting accordingly they not only doubled down on the socialist rhetoric, they also formed a South American junta to overthrow the rightful President. The...

My name is James Knox and I am a former ultra conservative Montana Legislator. I now reside in Arizona. A friend of mine and I came up with a bill to guarantee the security of the ballot. At least it addresses the issue that ensures one legal voter, one legal vote. Best of all most of the systems are currently in place but not used for elections, but for the criminal justice system. We call this bill the DD (Document Discriminator) Voter ID bill. Please use the link above to download the current bill concept paper.

History does have a tendency to repeat itself, think back to 1929 and the collapse of Wall Street and the worldwide depression that followed, in 1933 the German Government gave Hitler the power to do anything he wanted. Fast forward to 2020, the world is heading full speed to another great depression, Governments everywhere are seizing power for the "health of public" and to create the great reset...Germany just passed a law giving the Government the power to whatever is necessary to protect the health of the country....Politicians are labeling "Corona Deniers" enemies of the state, some have called for...

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemLambs, Sheep, and Shepherds.Judges 6Gideon 6 The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and for seven years he gave them into the hands of the Midianites. 2 Because the power of Midian was so oppressive, the Israelites prepared shelters for themselves in mountain clefts, caves and strongholds. 3 Whenever the Israelites planted their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites and other eastern peoples invaded the country. 4 They camped on the land and ruined the crops all the way to Gaza and did not spare a living thing for Israel, neither sheep nor cattle...

David Dinkins, who was elected New York City’s first black mayor in 1989 and famously referred to the nation’s largest metropolis as a “gorgeous mosaic,” died Monday night, sources told The Post.

In 1967, ex-Harvard professor Timothy Leary famously coined one of the slogans of 60’s counter culture when he told hippies to “turn on, tune in, [and] drop out.” Psychedelics like LSD became a vital part of what Leary would later call the “graceful process of detachment from involuntary or unconscious commitments.” Advocating for psychedelics made Leary an academic pariah and a target of the FBI. Had he come along fifty years later, he may have landed a lucrative consulting gig with venture capitalists. On November 3, Oregon became the first U. S. state to legalize “magic mushrooms” for therapeutic use,...

Family and friends in Philadelphia gathered on Monday night to remember the 12-year-old boy gunned down while opening his front door over the weekend. It happened around 3 a.m. on the 5000 block of Ditman Street. Police said Sadeek Clark-Harrison, 12, was at home with his grandmother and his 9-year-old sister, and went to answer the door after someone knocked. He was shot once in the head by a single shot fired through the front door.

Health officials are pleading with Californians to skip the usual Thanksgiving gatherings to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, but what if people don't follow safety measures issued by health officials? While the fall COVID-19 surge in the Golden State isn't as severe as the one spiraling in other parts of the country (especially the Midwest), California is at a tipping point where cases could explode and hospitals become overwhelmed. If people gather in large groups inside without masks, the situation could become catastrophic, health officials say. "Our actions now will dictate what happens this winter," said San Francisco Public...

What does GSA being allowed to preliminarily work with the Dems have to do with continuing to pursue our various cases on what will go down as the most corrupt election in American political history? We are moving full speed ahead. Will never concede to fake ballots & “Dominion”. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 24, 2020 Tweeted by President Trump in the last hour. President Trump — What does GSA being allowed to preliminarily work with the Dems have to do with continuing to pursue our various cases on what will go down as the most corrupt election in...

Today’s Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:10 “By the grace of God I am what I am.” Paul was conscious throughout his entire ministry of his utter unworthiness to be a servant of Christ. We see him expressing it again to the Corinthians: "For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace...

Russia's Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine is 95 percent effective according to a second interim analysis of clinical trial data, its developers said on Tuesday. The calculations were based on preliminary data obtained 42 days after the first dose, Russia's health ministry, the state-run Gamaleya research centre and the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) said in a statement. They did not note the number of cases used to make the calculation, however. The two-shot Sputnik V vaccine will cost less than $20 per person on international markets and will be free of charge for Russian citizens, according to a statement on...

SANDERS AND THE FAR-LEFT AGENDA IN AMERICAAccording to U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, a "progressive", "democratic socialist", most Americans "prefer a Far-Left Agenda". That means the "Socialism/Communism" agenda. For decades, Sanders and others like him have been pushing this "agenda", and the majority of American people have repeatedly rejected it, not embraced it! It should be made well-known in this day and age of "progressive" advocacy, that even Vladimir Lenin, one of the original "fathers" of Communism, in 1921 recognized, just three years after "socialist policies" were implemented in Russia under Soviet rule, that "this thing will not work" and how...

Dismissing President Donald Trump's claim that the 2020 election remains undecided, Joe Biden has begun to name his national security team. Right now, it looks Democratic establishment all the way. Antony Blinken, a longtime foreign policy aide, is Biden's choice for secretary of state. Jake Sullivan, one of Hillary Clinton's closest aides, is said to be his choice for national security adviser. Biden's urgency in naming his foreign policy team is understandable. For if his election is confirmed by the Electoral College, then he will find himself on Jan. 20 with a lineup of foreign policy crises. First is Afghanistan....

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman said that the chaos of the post-election period has been orchestrated by the Republican Party, but dismissed the notion that anything will stop the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s win. The Republican Party “put a Grubhub order in for chaos, and that’s exactly what they got delivered,” Fetterman, a Democrat, said in a Monday interview with Yahoo News. He blamed Republicans in the Pennsylvania Legislature for refusing to give election officials any time before Election Day to “pre-canvass” mail ballots, which would have meant they could open the outer envelope, check for signatures and prepare...

A group of prisoners in the Venezuelan state of Carabobo was forced to kill a Rottweiler for food to fight off starvation, the human rights NGO Venezuelan Prisons Observatory (OVP) revealed on Sunday. The Argentine outlet Infobae reported that family members of the inmates told OVP that their incarcerated relatives were forced to kill the canine as they were “dying from hunger,” receiving just bread and the occasional meal from prison authorities. The incident took place at the El Libertador prison facility in Hombre Nuevo, Carabobo state. Family members expressed concern at the severity of the punishment they may receive...

[Note: This piece contains heavy video content.] Emily Murphy, Director of the General Services Administration, conceded on Monday that it is likely that Joe Biden/Kamala Harris “won” the November 3 election, and authorized the beginning of the formal transition process. This administrative move means basically nothing in the grand scheme of things. The election remains up in the air and the Trump legal team, which scored wins in Michigan and Pennsylvania yesterday, will “keep up the good fight,” as the President himself said in a tweet.

No, Rush Limbaugh did not slam the Trump legal team. – Mediaite is one of the more odious leftwing web-based “news” outlets. Its entire model is producing short pieces with inflammatory headlines that attract clicks, similar to an array of other clickbait fake news sites on both the right and the left. I won’t name names, but many readers will know exactly who on the right I’m referring to. On his program yesterday, Rush discussed the situation with the Trump Legal Team vis a vis Sidney Powell, and the joint press conference they all had last Thursday. During that segment,...

Tucker Carlson opened his show Monday night claiming the 2020 election was ‘rigged’ against Trump in plain view, as he accused Democrats of colluding with the media and big tech companies to bend the contest in Biden's favor. The claims came as part of a lengthy monologue by the Fox News host just hours after Trump took a massive step towards admitting defeat in the election by announcing he was allowing the transition to Joe Biden to begin. Carlson called the election ‘not fair’ and said that ‘the system was rigged against one candidate and in favor of another… in...
