WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Dec. 5. The Committee on the Judiciary had under consideration to-day the case of Judge WATROUS, of Texas. Much testimony has been adduced, tending so strongly against him that it is understood they will report soon in favor of his impeachment. Gov. HOUSTON is understood to have done much to bring about this result. I am told by a gentleman from Texas that WATROUS is understood to sympathize with the secession movement in Texas. Mr. REYNOLDS, the successor of S.M. BURROUGHS, of New-York, appeared in the House to-day and took the oath and his seat on the Republican...

The blackjack tables remain open in Toledo, Ohio, but some middle schools and all high schools are required to close. An order issued by Ohio’s Lucas County Regional Board of Health on Nov. 25 mandated that “education for Grades 7-12 (or 9 to 12 depending on school configuration) will be virtual from December 4th until January 11th” to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The order exempts elementary schools, without explaining why. Due to anticipated issues with students in grades K-6 (unless the school configuration is grades K-8 who can follow K-6 orders), schools may remain open, but may only open...

Widespread, severe flooding has killed at least nine people and affected 210 000 households or more than half a million people in southern Thailand, officials reported Friday, December 4, 2020, describing the situation as the worst they have seen in 50 years. A state of emergency has been declared for Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, where all the fatalities occurred. Thailand's Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) said another person reportedly went missing. The youngest victim was a child aged five. DDPM added that the affected provinces are Surat Thani, Phatthalung, Trang, Songkhla, Pattani, Narathiwat, and the worst-hit, Nakhon Si...

Fox News faced hostility from supporters of President Trump while on the scene of a rally where he is set to speak Saturday in support of Georgia Republicans competing in next month’s Senate races. People waiting to attend the rally in the southern Georgia city of Valdosta were caught on camera heckling a Fox News crew reporting ahead of the president speaking at the event several hours later. In another clip shared by a reporter for Al Jazeera, a man in a baseball cap bearing Mr. Trump‘s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” could be seen berating Fox correspondent Griff...

Article II, Section 2 of the US Constitution is simple and direct: “The President ... shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur.” It served America well for 225 years. Then, in 2015, the UN’s “international community” of climate activists gathered in Paris to hammer out language requiring that developed nations slash their fossil fuel use, tighten greenhouse gas emission targets every five years, and become “carbon neutral” within a few decades – to prevent a manmade climate chaos forecast by computer models but not...

A video posted on Facebook in mid-November shows the outstanding success of the i-80 wildlife overpass in Utah, where you can watch elk, moose, small mammals, black bears, coyotes, and even what appears to be a porcupine safely cross a dangerous stretch of road.Utah Division of Wildlife Resources: For wildlife researchers, it demonstrates that the time it takes for animals to adapt to using wildlife overpasses may be years shorter than first anticipated.“From what we can tell, the number of accidents there is down dramatically. At least initially, it appears the investment in safety is paying off,” Utah DoT spokesman...

Group says protests will continue every Saturday until COVID-19 restrictions are loosened in Routt County.. STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — Members of the group Save Routt County, many of them restaurant workers, protested local restrictions put in place to combat the spread of COVIDS-19 that they say will lead to many local businesses demise. The protesters gathered at the Old Routt County Courthouse Saturday for what was billed as a non-partisan message that was indeed almost entirely absent partisan messaging. “It is not a partisan group here at all, the founding members of this thing, the initial group, there is Democrats, Republicans,...

During this election I found myself troubled,. During my quiet time with God I was comforted by this message so I will share it and maybe it will offer some comfort to someone who needs it at this time. In our state there are lovely green rivers, and clear springs that bubble up from under the ground. The rivers are subject to the farmers fields run off, if it has rained up river, the green turns to a muddy brown it is not drinkable. At my home I satisfy my thirst with water that comes from deep within the ground...

We are living in an unprecedented time, and although no one knows the day or the hour, the Rapture could occur at any moment, and people need to be ready. This list of unprecedented events with prophetic implications is just a small indication of why I believe the Church could be removed soon. One, in Pennsylvania on Nov. 25, 2020, a court judge stopped the certification of Biden as the winner of the Pennsylvania election pending a hearing on Nov. 27. On Nov. 27, 2020, a panel of judges ruled against Trump, leading his attorneys to say they are headed...

President Trump gave Georgia senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue an opportunity to address the crowd at today’s Valdosta MAGA rally. Senator Kelly Loeffler gave some wet noodle soundbites to a tepid audience response. However, when the ever-entitled Senator David Perdue attempted to address the crowd, well, the patriots were just done listening to the elitist duplicity and started chanting: “Fight For Trump!” The look on the face of the ‘People’s President’ says it all. President Trump knows. President Trump appreciates. President Trump is fully aware he alone is uniquely connected to the heartbeat of American patriots. “We will not...

How Democrats define themselves, AOC edition: OMG don’t ask me to do anything else! Can’t you see I’ve got my hands full!?Arguably she hasn’t even started her “adult life” yet but that doesn’t stop her from whining on: "Republicans like to make fun of the fact that I used to be a waitress, but we all know if they ever had to do a double they'd be the ones found crying in the walk-in fridge halfway through their first shift bc someone yelled at them for bringing seltzer when they wanted sparkling."I guess working a double shift tending to the...

It’s now something of a cliché that the novel coronavirus has shaken up our normal patterns of behavior, and that we’ll not return to them unchanged. Given widespread unhappiness with the state of higher education, could some change for the better result? What most needs to change won’t: the one-party politicized professoriate will still be there, egged on instead of restrained by diversity-obsessed administrative bureaucracies. But useful change may still come if students and parents begin to see higher education in a different way. How will the disruption affect them? To answer that, we need first to understand how uncertain...

“I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things” (John 8:28). When Christ ministered on earth, he enjoyed full access to the Father. He said, “I can do nothing on my own. I do only what the Father tells me and shows me” (also see John 5:19, 30). Moreover, Jesus didn’t have to slip away to prayer to obtain the Father’s mind. Of course, he prayed often and intensely, but that was about fellowship with the Father. It was a different matter in his everyday activities, whether he was teaching, healing or casting out...

"In these last days [God] has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things" (Heb. 1:2). Since Jesus is the Son of God, He is the heir of all that God possesses. When Christ first came to earth He became poor for our sakes, that we, through His poverty, might be made rich (2 Cor. 8:9). He had nothing for Himself—He had "nowhere to lay His head" (Luke 9:58). Even His clothes were taken from Him when He died, and He was buried in a tomb that belonged to someone else. It is beyond our...

Somewhere Winston Churchill said that all wisdom is not new wisdom. That is certainly true of Edward C. Banfield’s landmark book, The Unheavenly City, published 50 years ago. Many, if not most, of the people discussing urban problems today have not yet caught up to what Banfield said half a century ago. Education is a classic example. People on both sides of many education issues today would be appalled at Banfield’s plain-spoken truths. While people on one side of education issues speak of “inclusion” and “diversity,” people on the other side say such things as “no child left behind.” Banfield,...

“My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee" (Proverbs 6:20-22).
