Another one of President Trump's campaign attorneys has tested positive for COVID-19. Jenna Ellis, one of the faces of the campaign's legal team, tested positive for the coronavirus, Axios reported on Tuesday. The news of her diagnosis came only days after she attended the White House Christmas party on Friday. There is the possibility that her positive test could be the start of many after another potential coronavirus superspreader event. "She had the nerve to show up at the senior staff Christmas party knowing everyone was furious with her for constantly stirring Trump up with nonsense," a senior administration official...

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come” (2 Timothy 3:1). “For men shall be… unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good” (2 Timothy 3:3). Introduction This series is a study examining the societal characteristics of the last days that Paul wrote about in 2 Timothy 3. Admittedly, and not surprisingly, this series might very well be considered offensive to the world. This study is viewed through the lens of the Creator’s revealed character and expectations of His creatures found in the Word of God. The Savior has...

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come” (2 Timothy 3:1). “For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, …” (2 Timothy 3:2). Introduction This series is a study examining the societal characteristics of the last days that Paul wrote about in 2 Timothy 3. Initially, this four-part series was basically an outline to aid in the teaching of these passages. There’s really nothing earth-shaking or groundbreaking found within this study – at least for the educated believer. We know these verses very well and have been...

Actor Michael Rapaport unloads on Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and California Gov. Gavin Newsom in his inimitable profane style over contradictory and seemingly hypocritical coronavirus enforcement efforts in a blistering new Instagram takedown. “Yo, look at this *–*. The *–**** Melrose-Fairfax farmers market is popping,” said Rapaport, 50, in a video posted Sunday of the packed open-air event. “I have no problem with all these people making their money and making a living, but how the *–* is this OK, but right across the street all the cafes, all the restaurants are shut down?” he asked.

Remember Jamie Raskin? The radical East Coast liberal that Cindy Axne gave her vote to? Well, he’s back. After voting on behalf of Iowa’s third congressional district while Cindy Axne was too busy to come to work, Raskin is apparently still hungry to insert himself in the business of Iowans. It was revealed recently that Raskin, a liberal Democrat from Maryland, is expected to be tapped to run point on the Nancy Pelosi-led House administration committee tasked with reviewing the results of Iowa’s second congressional race. Republican state senator Mariannette Miller-Meeks defeated Rita Hart. Hart requested a recount but still...

@RepMattGaetz I oppose the NDAA not because I'm against our troops, but because I love them so much. This good bill has been hijacked by the forever war lobby and their bought and paid for allies in the United States Congress. I'm going to put America first, and I'm voting against this bill.

Dear Congressman, I’ve been plugged into social media and alternate news sources now every day since November 3rd, because mainstream media is obviously compromised. Major media outlets have gone way beyond simple political bias, and they are clearly engaged in activism, including the once trusted news outlet Fox. Throughout this entire process, it has become very clear to me that our nation is under political and subversive international attack through our election process, as outlined by our president in a recent 45 minute speech, and I believe our CCP media is part of it. One of the more frustrating feelings...

The first day of winter will bring a celestial delight. According to Rice University astronomer Patrick Hartigan, Jupiter and Saturn will appear closer than they’ve been since the Middle Ages. The effect will create a “Christmas Star,” or “Star of Bethlehem.” 2020 can sure use it.Just after the sun sets on December 21, the winter solstice, the two planets will look like a double planet, or large star.“Alignments between these two planets are rather rare, occurring once every 20 years or so, but this conjunction is exceptionally rare because of how close the planets will appear to one another,” said...

First lady Melania Trump has announced the completion of a tennis pavilion on the White House grounds. “Thank you to all of the talented craftsmen who made this project possible and to the generous supporters of the White House,” the first lady said in a statement on Monday. “It is my hope that this private space will function as both a place of leisure and gathering for future First Families.” The project to construct a new tennis pavilion included the refurbishing of the tennis court and Grandchildren’s Garden.

by Chuck Ness Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured. Paul tells us to; Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speakingbe put away from you, with all malice. Ephesians 4:31 Anger and rage do more harm to those those who practice it, than it does to the person the anger is targeted at. How many times have we witnessed someone so full of anger and rage that they end up doing something that only hurts themselves. How many times has...

A Michigan lawmaker leading the investigation into the 2020 election threatened Dominion Voting Systems CEO with a subpoena if he doesn’t appear before his committee voluntarily. State Rep. Matt Hall, a Republican who chairs the Michigan House Oversight Committee, said in a Dec. 7 letter obtained by The Epoch Times that he sent a letter last month asking Dominion CEO John Poulos to testify before the committee. “I have not received an answer to my request. I am writing again to request your appearance before the House Oversight Committee so that we can further investigate Dominion’s role in the election,”...

President-Elect Joe Biden’s pick for secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, concerns religious conservatives fighting to protect their First Amendment free speech and religious liberty rights. They are wary of Becerra because he defended the anti-free speech California law (AB 775), struck down by the Supreme Court, that forced pro-life care centers to promote state-sponsored abortions. They are also alarmed over comments he made before the state Assembly three years ago when he said religious liberty is only for “individuals” not “institutions.” California Family Council President Jonathan Keller had this to say about the...

The near-fatal incident unfolded in Corona around 11:15 p.m. on Saturday night when the 76-year-old woke up bleeding from the right side of his neck and was rushed to Northwell Hospital, according to cops. The man was treated and sent back to Madison York Assisted Living — but the cause of his injury remained a mystery.

Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) said President Trump’s reported attempts to overturn the results of the presidential election in Pennsylvania were “completely unacceptable.” “It’s completely unacceptable and it’s not going to work and the president should give up trying to get legislatures to overturn the results of the elections in their respective states,” Toomey told the Philadelphia Inquirer. Toomey added that he spoke on the phone with President-elect Joe Biden last week, saying “we had a very pleasant conversation” regarding potential areas of cooperation. The Pennsylvania Republican, who has said he will not seek a third term in 2022, is one...

In short, the organic industry knows that unless they can effectively demonize conventionally grown produce by creating a consumer misconception of superior safety and health of organics, using blatantly false and deceptive marketing methods, then the foundation of the whole organic food industry and its ability to enhance sales would be impossible. Consumers would simply be unable to justify the additional cost of the produce or products based upon the facts. Over the next few weeks, we will consider organic vs. conventional food adapted from The Myths of Nutrition Science. We will consider five typical consumer misconceptions, which leads them...

Speaking in July at an event in the White House Rose Garden, Goya Foods CEO Bob Unanue, who is of Spanish origin, said, “We’re all truly blessed … to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder.” Unanue’s praise of the president set off a firestorm among liberals in Washington. Former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate and Texas Rep. Julian Castro responded to Unanue’s remarks by tweeting, “Now their CEO, Bob Unanue, is praising a president who villainizes and maliciously attacks Latinos for political gain. Americans should think twice before buying their products.” Responding to a tweet from Igor...

Approximately 10 years ago, members of the research team observed a giant panda living in the wild pausing to roll itself in a large pile of horse manure. Intrigued, the team began watching for...

Unlike the last few weeks, 'vaccine Monday' has become 'vaccine Tuesday', as the Britain's "V-Day" vaccinations grabbed headlines earlier, and now the country's most promising project - the AstraZeneca-Oxford jab - has published peer-reviewed data in the Lancet purporting to show that the shot is safe and effective. However, many questions about its efficacy and safety remain, and if anything, the data suggests that more research on the jab is needed.Despite this, researchers confirmed they will now submit their data to regulators for approval to deploy the vaccine in mass immunization campaigns across the UK, Brazil, India and countries in...
