The stubborn fact that male and female each have an objective nature will ultimately be the end of contemporary gender theory, and it looks like the lesbians are the canary in that coal mine.“[L]esbian as a category” is vanishing, warns lesbian journalist Katie Herzog over at Andrew Sullivan’s Weekly Dish. She laments that being an out and proud lesbian is no longer cool and notes how women who like women are increasingly “coming out as nonbinary or as men” instead.Herzog noted this just days before “Juno” and “The Umbrella Academy” star Ellen Page announced on December 1 that she is...

Sodium-ion batteries are poised to replace lithium-ion batteries for large-scale electrical energy storage. They offer several advantages over lithium-ion batteries, particularly due to the widespread abundance of sodium. However, it is difficult to develop sodium cathodes, materials through which electrons can enter a battery. Many candidate materials are unstable or cannot withstand high voltages. Mammal bone structures consist of an inner porous, spongy bone that allows the storage and transport of bone marrow, surrounded by a hard, compact bone, which offers mechanical and structural integrity under severe stress. Following this design architecture, the group created a porous system of Na3V2(PO4)3...

President Trump is right – he’s actually understating it. All across this great country, people are talking about the 2020 election being stolen by senile Joe Biden and his gang of corrupt Anti-American goons. This morning President Trump tweeted:

Update below.It’s like a scene from a dystopian movie. Antifa and Black Lives Matter™ radicals take over and squat in a Portland house belonging to someone else. Neighbors sound the alarm. Police come months later to force them to leave. Antifa takes over the street in front of the house. All hell breaks loose and cops are attacked.This is the backstory to what’s happening right now on the ground in a neighborhood that Portland antifa radicals have essentially taken over since yesterday. They’ve blocked the street, erected walls, and now essentially hold a neighborhood hostage.At 5 a.m. on Tuesday, Portland...

The US topped 15 million cases of COVID-19 this week but that number is likely exponentially higher — by as much as seven times, a top Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official said on Thursday. Aron Hall, co-lead of the agency’s epidemiology task force, offered the startling statistic during a virtual hearing over Pfizer/BioNTech’s coronavirus vaccine.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA21) - The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Indiana moved closer to a position on the federal bench on Thursday. Thomas Kirsch received a vote of approval from the Senate Judiciary committee. His nomination by Pres. Donald Trump now moves to the full Senate for consideration. If confirmed, Kirsch will succeed Judge Amy Coney Barrett, who was elevated to the U.S. Supreme Court. The vacancy is on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. The confirmation would also then open the top spot at the local U.S. Attorney's Office. That position could change hands regardless of...

The citizens of The United States fought a Revolutionary War to give themselves the responsibility of choosing their own leaders. It is a responsibility. Too many Americans think that electing a President is just a game that is played every four years. This kind of thinking is a great disservice to the men who spent years discussing, investigating and thinking about how a country should be. Voting isn’t just about flipping a coin to decide who our chief executive will be. Voting is a rigorous means of improving our citizens. Voting is a rigorous way to improve everything about our...

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody on Wednesday joined 16 other states in backing a last-chance effort by Texas to get the U.S. Supreme Court to block election results in four swing states where the vote went in favor of President-elect Joe Biden. “The integrity and resolution of the 2020 election is of paramount importance,” Moody wrote in a statement as Florida joined a friend-of-the-court brief urging the Supreme Court to allow Texas to move forward with the case. “The United States Supreme Court should weigh the legal arguments of the Texas motion and all pending matters so that Americans can...

The ballot adjudication process varies state by state, it typically involves a small panel of people reviewing a ballot to determine either the voter’s intent or whether the ballot can be counted at all based on whether the voter was eligible to cast it. Election officials have been stressing that adjudication – like counting every ballot received by election day – is part of the normal election process and is not out of the ordinary. However, the background process is now thrust to the forefront thanks to the razor-thin margins separating the presidential candidates, Joe Biden and President Donald Trump,...

Screen print of Parler's captcha not recognizing my input. This after over 50 rejections of what I typed in. So I tried to join Parler. Their requirements for a password are as follows, Use eight or more characters with at least one capital letter, lowercase letter, number, and special character. So I did as they required.

The policy of terminating the lives of the "hopelessly demented" in the Netherlands has often been difficult when patients objected to being put to death. Now, thanks to the Regional Euthanasia Review Committee (RTE), physicians will be allowed to "sedate patients who are agitated or excessively aggressive in fighting for their lives." Additionally, the RTE has determined that "it is not necessary for the doctor to agree with the patient concerning the time or manner in which euthanasia will be given. Doctors should have the right to use the element of surprise to overwhelm any resistance to the procedure." These...

Israel and Morocco have agreed to normalize relations, President Donald Trump announced on Thursday, marking the fourth Arab-Israel agreement in four months. As part of the deal, the U.S. will recognize Morocco’s claim over the disputed Western Sahara region. As his time in office winds down, Trump said Israel and Morocco would restore diplomatic and other relations, including the immediate reopening of liaison offices in Rabat and Tel Aviv and the eventual opening of embassies. U.S. officials said it would also include joint overflight rights for airlines. The White House said Trump and Morocco’s King Mohammed VI had agreed in...

Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) stated that his legal challenge to the Supreme Court isn’t over despite being denied an emergency order earlier this week. “All that happened is we were not granted temporary injunctive relief,” Kelly told Newsmax on Wednesday. “The case is still alive and well.” The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday denied Kelly’s request—which was also joined by congressional candidate Sean Parnell and other Republicans—after he sought to prevent Pennsylvania state officials from taking further action to certify the state’s election results. “And we are looking, how do we get the court to take on the case for...

The Georgia Secretary of State’s Office says it’s investigating Coffee County’s handling of the November presidential election recount. All counties were to finish the third tally of votes in the presidential election by midnight Dec. 2. But Coffee County was still trying to resolve a discrepancy of 50 votes the following day, the secretary of state said in announcing the investigation late Wednesday. By Dec. 4 Coffee was the only county that had not completed the recount. The county notified the secretary of state that it would not certify the results. The discrepancy was not enough to change the result...

“The Genealogy of Jesus Christ: From David to the Deportation” (Matthew 1:1, 6b-11) Last week we began looking at how Matthew begins his gospel. He begins with a genealogy, a genealogy that takes in much of Old Testament history. It is the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. But Jesus was, first of all, the Savior of Israel. He is the promised Messiah, who fulfilled the promises given to Israel’s forefathers. Jesus came into the world as the culmination, the climax, of Israel’s history. And so Matthew writes: “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the...
