The pastors at scandalized Hillsong Church were anything but humble servants. As the Australia-based institution continues to come under fire for allegations of “slave labor” and homophobia, ex-congregants and staff are now claiming that pastors used tithe money to help fuel their decadent lifestyles. At Hillsong NYC, many pastors frequently splurged on fancy restaurant meals, designer clothes and weekly manicures while living in the same Kent Avenue Williamsburg high-rise and zipping around the neighborhood on ATVs, disgusted former members told The Post. Indeed, it appears once-celebrity-beloved star pastor Carl Lentz — who was canned in November after admitting to cheating...

Sometimes questions yield the best lines of inquiry, which was of course the whole point of the Socratic method. In our present epoch, we need to ask why are extremists of the nation’s socialist left still talking about the “Capitol Riots”. We use the plural in this context because that is what they are using. For most people, this was a singular event that took place over 3–4 hours almost 3 weeks ago.For our extremist radicals in the national socialist media, it’s the ‘Capitol siege’ [implying that it is still going on] and other words evocative over violent imagery. This...

Horowitz announced today that:The DOJ Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is initiating an investigation into whether any former or current DOJ official engaged in an improper attempt to have DOJ seek to alter the outcome of the 2020 Presidential Election. The investigation will encompass all relevant allegations that may arise that are within the scope of the OIG’s jurisdiction. The OIG has jurisdiction to investigate allegations concerning the conduct of former and current DOJ employees. The OIG’s jurisdiction does not extend to allegations against other government officials.The OIG is making this...

A mountain's thin air and rocky soil can make it an inhospitable place to grow crops. But for all the challenges these conditions present farmers with, they can reward them in equal measures, such as with cold temperatures, dry air, and reduced dependence on pesticides. Actually going to market, however, requires hauling one's produce down the mountain—a task not for the faint of heart. In some tea-growing regions of Southeast Asia, the quickest way is via the biggest motor vehicles that can maneuver down mountainous trails: Motorcycles. Recent videos uploaded to social media show farmers traversing the treacherous terraces of...

The information in this documentary is real and scary and probably explains why everyone in the deep state want Trump destroyed. My friends, the corruption involves both sides of the aisle. They are all in on it. Trump exposed and will continue to expose the truth. I had no idea that the Mandalay Hotel shooting was part of a plot to assassinate the Crown Prince of Saudi ARabia. We foiled the plot. Trump saved his life. Did you know this? This is a PBS documentary that was not released. IT is the single most comprehensive explanation about what really happened...

Tainan, Jan. 26 (CNA) Taiwan's Air Force on Tuesday conducted a rare public drill of loading a type of locally made cruise missiles that reportedly has a range within reach of coastal Chinese provinces to one of its fighters, amid increasing military threats from the other side of the Taiwan Strait. In a drill held at the southern Tainan air base, flight crew from the First Tactical Fighter Wing deployed the Wan Chien (10 thousand swords) air-to-ground cruise missiles on an Indigenous Defense Fighter (IDF) jet. The missile, developed by the military's top research unit, the National Chung-Shan Institute of...

Rosenstein offered to wear wire on Trump, wanted fired Comey's advice on special counsel, newly declassified memos show. Newly declassified FBI memos provide startling new details that undercut the frenzied 2017 effort to investigate Donald Trump for obstruction, revealing the FBI knew Director James Comey's firing had been conceived by Justice Department leadership long before the president pulled the trigger during a key moment in the Russia probe. The memos written in May 2017 by Acting Director Andrew McCabe and a lieutenant also provide contemporaneous proof for some of the more jaw-dropping lore of the now-discredited Russia collusion scandal. For...

Though President Biden is all in on a Senate impeachment trial, telling CNN he believes it “has to happen,” even he is acknowledging the reality that the upper chamber will not be able to convict former President Trump. He told the network that if Trump had several months left in office the outcome of the trial could be different, but noted that it’s unlikely now that 17 GOP senators will vote to convict the former president. "The Senate has changed since I was there, but it hasn’t changed that much," Biden said. Biden made the comment during a brief one-on-one...

Boris Johnson has said he hopes it will be safe to reopen schools in England from 8 March, as the prime minister revealed to MPs when he intends to set out his plan for easing lockdown. In a COVID-19 statement to the Commons, the PM said ministers "do not yet have enough data to know exactly how soon it will be safe to reopen our society and economy". But he expressed hope that children could return from Monday, 8 March, provided the government meets its vaccination target of offering a jab to everyone in the top four priority groups by...

A new study out of Oxford University found that “the likelihood of a COVID-19 survivor developing a psychiatric or neurological illness within six months was 33.6 percent.”What’s more, the study – “Six-month Neurological and Psychiatric Outcomes in 236,379 Survivors of COVID-19” – found that one in eight people who have recovered from the virus are diagnosed with their first psychiatric or neurological illness within six months of testing positive.“The numbers rose to one in three when people with a previous history of psychiatric or neurological illnesses were included,” the New York Post added.The study also found that one in nine...

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) has issued a warning to America, declaring that ex-CIA Director John Brennan, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and the oligarchs in Big Tech are "domestic enemies." In a new video message on Tuesday, Gabbard warned that Brennan, Schiff, and Silicon Valley pose an even greater threat to American liberty than the rioters who stormed the Capitol earlier this month.

On this date in 1781, George Washington quelled a dangerous mutiny in his starving Continental Army with a couple of salutary summary executions. Weeks before, the Pennsylvania Line had mutinied for better pay — successfully. (When approached by British agents offering hard currency should they turn coat, the mutinous troops patriotically arrested the agents.) General Washington had cause to fear widespread discontent in his chronically undersupplied army, however. He circulated to Congress and to several state governors an urgent appeal (.pdf) for more aid to hold up morale. The aggravated calamities and distresses that have resulted from the total want...

The World Economic Forum wants you to know that there is nothing sinister about its globalist masterplan — aka The Great Reset — for a New World Order. It says so in a promo video, released to coincide with its annual Davos summit (which is taking place online all this week). In the video, the WEF admits that some people think that the Great Reset sounds like ‘some nefarious plan for world domination.’

Former White House Chairman of the National Economic Council, Larry Kudlow, will begin a new venture joining Fox Business News on February 8th.Kudlow joined the wolverine Trump economic team in 2018 and was complimentary to the objectives of the Trump administration with his affable demeanor. Secretary Ross, Ambassador Lighthizer, Secretary Mnuchin and Peter Navarro were the teeth, while Larry Kudlow was the one who smoothed the edges. The entire team complimented each-other brilliantly.Fox News Media announced on Tuesday that Larry Kudlow, former President Donald Trump’s top economic adviser, would host a new weekday program on the Fox Business Network.Kudlow, who...

The Woman Accused of Stealing Pelosi’s Laptop Says She Doesn’t Have It Riley June Williams’ lawyer says the allegations against her are all lies told by a vengeful ex. After a long hearing in federal court in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, the case of Riley June Williams — a 22-year-old Pennsylvania woman accused of stealing, or helping to steal, a laptop from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office and sell it to Russia’s foreign intelligence service — is more confusing than ever. According to a statement of facts compiled by the FBI, a “former romantic partner” of Williams called the agency...

As one of his first acts as president, Joe Biden rejoined the World Health Organization. But a top WHO official’s recent comment about the origins of the novel coronavirus call the decision into question. Michael Ryan, the executive director of WHO’s health emergencies program, said during a press conference last week that it’s “too early” to say that the coronavirus originated in China. “I think we have to say this quite plainly; all hypotheses are on the table and it is definitely too early to come to a conclusion of exactly where this virus started either within or without China,”...

A dumber stunt by the Democrats than proceeding with impeachment is difficult to imagine. This will remind Americans that Trump remains the most powerful figure in America, while the ghost-like Joe Biden occupies the White House as a mere puppet for Leftists who direct him.This will boost Trump’s standing within the Republican Party and among the general public. At least 45 Senate Republicans support Trump, as reflected by those who voted on January 26 to dismiss the impeachment entirely, and that is 11 votes more than he needs.Trump’s inevitable victory at the end of this foolish impeachment will return him...

WASHINGTON -- Fulfilling a campaign promise, President Joe Biden plans to reopen the HealthCare.gov insurance markets for a special sign-up opportunity geared to people needing coverage in the coronavirus pandemic. Biden is expected to sign an executive order Thursday, said two people familiar with the plan, whose details were still being finalized. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the pending order ahead of a formal announcement. Although the number of uninsured Americans has grown because of job losses due to the economic hit of COVID-19, the Trump administration resisted calls to authorize a...

Now that Congressional Democrats have set the precedent that presidents who are no longer in office can be impeached, in flagrant disregard of the Constitutional provision that one of the consequences of impeachment and conviction is “removal from Office,” impeachment has become not only a weapon of partisan politics and naked vengeance, but a way to correct historical wrongs. What’s more, Trump is being tried for inciting a violent riot by telling demonstrators “to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” If that will fly, the “high crimes” don’t have to be all that high in the coming trials of...
