A Wisconsin man has horrified Twitter users with his very unusual recipe for a salad-stuffed M&M cookie — which he cooked and ate because it came to him in a dream. Twitter user @thatfrood from Madison explained that he 'had a dream where there was a food called “King’s Hand”, a hollow hand made of m&m cookie, filled with Greek salad.' While most people would dismiss such a bizarre and unappetizing dream dish, @thatfrood took it as inspiration, and spent a week preparing the salad-cookie combo which has left Twitter users reeling.

Senator Lindsey Graham said he’ll listen to Republican colleague Josh Hawley’s objection to the certification of Electoral College votes for Joe Biden but doubts it will succeed. “Senator Hawley has every right to object,” Graham, of South Carolina, said in an interview on Fox News Thursday. “But it’s another thing to overturn an election of another state.” Hawley, of Missouri, said Wednesday he will raise objections when Congress convenes to certify Electoral College results Jan. 6 to how some states, particularly Pennsylvania, conducted their elections. President Donald Trump so far has refused to concede his loss in the election, urging...

Over the years, Campus Reform has reported on hundreds of instances of anti-Christian sentiment at American universities. Here are five of the worst instances from this year. 1. Harvard University. Harvard Law professor Elizabeth Bartholet called for a ban on homeschooling, decrying “conservative Christians” in the process. In a Harvard Gazette interview entitled “A warning on homeschooling,” Bartholet attributed rising interest in homeschooling to the “growth in the conservative evangelical movement,” stating that “conservative Christians” use the practice to “escape from the secular education in public schools,” after a failed effort “to have their children exempted from exposure to alternative...

“I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, entreat you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called” (Ephesians 4:1). The Christian life is simply becoming what Christ has already made you. Suppose immediately after you were saved, the Lord stamped your forehead with the words, “Watch me. I’m a child of God.” How would that affect your lifestyle? We may not have a physical mark like that, but we do bear the name of Christ in this world. When we first put our trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, we became part of...

Last week, 13th Circuit Judge Kevin Elsenheimer ordered the release of the forensic audit of Michigan's Dominion voting machines, but only after evidence on how the machine's algorithm corrupted the vote totals was redacted. Michigan Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson demanded the redaction, arguing that "allowing this evidence to be exposed would amount to compelling the government election officials to incriminate themselves. As every viewer of TV courtroom dramas knows, the US Constitution's 5th Amendment protects the accused from being forced to incriminate himself. Since the only way a scheme involving corrupted vote-tabulating machines could work is through the...

President-elect Joe Biden has promised to "advance LGBTQ equality" by reversing decades-old criminalization of HIV exposure and transmission laws that have no "scientific basis" and contribute to stigmas.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani declared that President Donald Trump will be dead ''in a few days'' during a speech to his Islamic nation’s cabinet as the first anniversary of the killing of a general in the country’s military approached.

MAGA fans have taken to the streets in Oregon and California to show their support for President Trump and to protest lockdown orders put in place amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Hundreds of anti-lockdown protesters were seen in Salem, Oregon on Thursday afternoon, many of whom were waving Trump flags as they urged officials to reopen businesses. Police declared the event unlawful and dispersed protesters with impact munitions and flash bang grenades after the group refused to leave downtown. Several protesters became angered by that move and were pictured facing off with officer clad in riot gear. Others launched their own...

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran said Saturday it plans to enrich uranium up to 20% at its underground Fordo nuclear facility “as soon as possible,” pushing its program a technical step away from weapons-grade levels as it increases pressure on the West over the tattered atomic deal.The move comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the U.S. in the waning days of the administration of President Donald Trump, who unilaterally withdrew America from Tehran’s nuclear deal in 2018. The International Atomic Energy Agency acknowledged Iran had informed its inspectors of the decision by a letter after news leaked...

The San Francisco home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was vandalized overnight, with an apparent pig's head and fake blood staged in front of the garage. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that San Francisco police responded to a call at Pelosi's home around 3 a.m. local time Friday morning. The perpetrators spray-painted "Cancel Rent!" and "We Want Everything" in big black letters on Pelosi's garage door.

As Covid-19 descended on California ... this year, economies began to shut down and the debate raged over what businesses were deemed “essential.” Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, and Alameda County authorities went back and forth over whether the Tesla plant in Fremont should be allowed to reopen. This dialogue was punctuated by a pithy tweet from Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, who describes herself as a progressive Democrat, “F*ck Elon Musk.” At that time, we had no idea how much that tweet, and attitude, would cost us. Nine months later, Elon Musk is gone. He is selling all his personal...

Three white-collar judges in San Francisco are reopening the judge-created, 1997 border gateway that has allowed at least one million wage-cutting economic migrants to flood into the jobs, housing, and schools needed by blue-collar Americans. “They’re basically saying, ‘Bring a child with you across the border and it is a get-out-of-jail card,'” said John Miano, a lawyer with the Immigration Reform Law Institute. The December 30 decision by the judges on the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit rejected a careful 2019 regulation by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is intended to replace the 1997 Flores rules....

Some Chatham County, Georgia machines. The ones that are never hooked up to the Internet:

The January 5 special runoff elections for the US Senate in Georgia will certainly be one of the most important in US history: It is a choice between maintaining a constitutional republic that values individual freedom or changing the USA into the USSA (United Socialist States of America). This January 5 should be viewed as a mandate to all conservatives and Republicans in Georgia to vote, not to simply reelect two Republican Ssenators (David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler) but rather to vote to preserve freedom. A loss of those Senate seats can lead to catastrophic harm that may well require...

The AR-15 is certainly one popular firearm. Simply put, the AR-15 the civilian version of the U.S. military’s M16. The only main difference being that you can’t fire in three-round bursts or full-automatic. But while it’s just as versatile, accurate, durable, and downright dependable as the one trusted by the uniformed services, the one thing you can do with an AR-15 that you couldn’t dream of doing in the military is customizing it. Think of Legos — but for grown-ups. Entering the vast and colorful world of rifle mods can be overwhelming at first, and it will take some time...
