In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. John 1:1-2, 14 (King James Version) First my major praise to God and thanks to all those praying for my cancer since I have been told I am free of it and will just treat and monitor with natural treatments. So, this year not only has God protected me from the killer plague, but I have also died twice and had cancer and miraculously survived all three. This is a message that President Trump needs...

Nov. 30 (UPI) -- A French chef captured a Guinness World Record by cooking up a pizza that contains 254 varieties of cheese. Benoit Bruel combined 254 cheeses to top a pizza cooked up in the city of Lyon, Guinness World Records said. Guinness shared a video showing Bruel weighing out the portions of cheese to make sure there was enough of each variety to qualify for the world record. Benoit told Guinness officials he thought it was important that the record be held by France, which is known for its cheeses.

For Christmas and her January birthday we usually give my near 30 yr old niece cash & a small gift. But, in past years she has shown her absolute ignorance by supporting Antifa, BLM, and Biden. Her most recent response to a video I sent her of Diamond & Silk was "the election is not being stolen." Well, instead of actually disowning her, I've decided I'd like to just send her fraudulent gifts (sending something stolen just wouldn't work )... I have some monopoly money but need something more real, that will maybe get her attention....since Freepers are smart and...

GIULIANI: “And I’m going to ask you to fight. And I’m going to ask you to try to implore the other members of your legislature to stand up to this. Do not be bullied. Do not be frightened. Your political career is worth losing if you can save the right to vote in America. In fact I may get you a — (Cheering and Applause) — in fact I can get you a chapter in profile in courage if you do that. Because at times in our history certain men and women have stepped forward and lost their political career...

The amended graduation requirements define an ethnic studies course as one that includes the “explicit exploration of identity and intersectionality,” prioritizes “the history and culture of historically marginalized groups,” discusses “the history and current role of race, racism, and anti-racist work,” and creates “interdisciplinary learning that leads to action.”

Today in "affirmative action for public company boards" news...In a move that does little to help either diversity or equality, NASDAQ is now pushing for SEC approval of a rule that would require public companies on its exchange to have at least one woman director and one "diverse" director - meaning a director that self-identifies as an underrepresented minority or LGBTQ. You know, like how Elizabeth Warren "self-identified" as Native American.Oddly enough, there's still no requirement that Board Members need to know how to read financial statements. But, we digress.The exchange is also pushing for its more than 3,000 companies...

Biden’s pick to run the Office of Management and Budget, Neera Tanden, appears to have deleted over 1,000 tweets since Nov. 1, after posts targeting lawmakers whose vote she will need for confirmation resurfaced. Tanden, a longtime Clinton advisor and president of the Center for American Progress, is an avid tweeter. She has used the platform to issue bombastic criticisms of lawmakers — as well as voters — who identify to her right and left. The tweets, some deleted and some still live, reference GOP lawmakers by name, tagging them, and blasting them for supporting President Trump, or in some...

Barack Obama will never forgive Benjamin Netanyahu for being right about the Iran nuclear deal. In his new memoir, Promised Land, Obama writes that the Israeli prime minister’s “vision of himself as the chief defender of the Jewish people against calamity allowed him to justify almost anything that would keep him in power.” In fact, Netanyahu put his job on the line by doing something few Israeli voters support—he challenged an American president and potentially endangered the U.S.-Israel relationship. In March 2015, he went over Obama’s head to make his case to the representatives of the American people and told...

The Major Cities Chiefs Association released a report detailing the number of violent riots and the number of police officers injured during the riots U.S. cities faced after the death of George Floyd in May. The MCCA, which has members in 69 of the largest cities in the U.S., released the findings of their survey in October and compiled data from May 25 to July 31, 2020.

The push to legalize recreational weed in New Jersey includes a new “social equity” tax that would benefit communities of color disproportionately affected by drug laws.

'Even if the Constitution has taken a holiday during this pandemic, it cannot become a sabbatical,' wrote Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.Late on the night before Thanksgiving, the Supreme Court granted an injunction against New York state’s restriction on religious services, with 10- or 25-person occupancy limits depending on whether the gathering is in a “red” or “orange” zone, respectively, according to viral prevalence. Although the justices split 5-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts voting to deny the injunction on a technicality, it seemed like a no-brainer: Houses of worship were treated differently than many similarly situated secular facilities, so...

This Star Wars property reaches out to us as a familiar friend who wants to talk about more than the times long past. As many have pointed out, the Skywalker story and the galaxy of interconnected characters and legends amounts to the great modern myth of our time. Right now, however, being a Star Wars fan hurts. Marvel will continue to gain on and outpace Star Wars in popularity with younger generations and make more money at the box office (remember those?), but it will never mean what Star Wars does to the Force faithful. That’s why Star Wars fans...

Prince Harry admits his world view has changed since parenthood, urging humans to care more and be “like raindrops” which “relieve the parched ground” to tackle climate change. The Duke of Sussex, 36, who lives with his family on a $14.65-million estate in California, spoke of his passion for nature and Africa during a television exchange to feature in an upcoming documentary, continuing his love of offering advice on climate matters that peaked 12 months ago with his enthusiastic endorsement of Greta Thunberg, as Breitbart News reported. Speaking about his son Archie, now 19 months, the Daily Mail reports Harry...

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai said he plans to leave the commission on Jan. 20, 2021. This opens the door to President-elect Joe Biden to select a new head of the telecommunications regulator. While best known for wrecking network neutrality, in his resignation letter Pai largely ignored that issue. His only comment relating to it was "this FCC has not shied away from making tough choices. As a result, our nation's communications networks are now faster, stronger, and more widely deployed than ever before." Few would agree with his rosy view. While according to the FCC's 2020 Broadband...

California Democrat Christy Smith conceded to GOP Congressman Mike Garcia for the second-time on Monday night, after the contentious congressional race’s result became clear. Smith and Garcia previously competed in a special election last spring, to fill the seat vacated by disgraced former Congresswoman Katie Hill, who resigned in light of a sex scandal. Garcia upset Smith to flip the seat from blue-to-red ahead of the general election. An official call from the Associated Press has not yet been made in California’s 25th congressional district, but Smith told supporters that her path to victory is no longer viable.
