Portland police say officers “remained out of sight as much as possible” after being pelted with snowballs by protesters, who would go on to damage multiple businesses after the police retreat. Portland, Oregon continues to deal with protests turning violent, even though police are bending over backward to stay out of sight – according to the latest police statements on Friday’s violent protest. Despite heavy snowfall, 30 to 50 protesters marched on Friday night to the Central Precinct, according to the Portland Police Department. The demonstrators proceeded to throw snowballs at police vehicles and then at officers when they left...

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON - CAPTAIN NOAH AND HIS WONDERFUL SHIP MORNING WORSHIP - OUR FAITH’S FIRM FOUNDATION - SUNDAY EVENING MESSAGE - SATAN'S ATTACK ON OUR MINDS

A first-of-its-kind study, involving over 25,000 children, reveals that masks are harming schoolchildren in many physical and psychological ways and have a negative effect on their behavior, focus and interest in learning. These negative effects are censored from social media, under-reported by the media, and ignored by government officials. Of the 25,930 children studied, the database includes at least 17,854 health complaints submitted by parents. These health issues and impairments were observed in approximately 68 percent of masked schoolchildren who were forced to wear a face covering for an average of four and a half hours per day. Prolonged, forced,...

On the eve of the Presidential election, then-candidate Joe Biden spoke at a union hall in Pittsburgh and promised to be “the most pro-union president you’ve ever seen.” Such lofty promises weren’t surprising, coming from Biden. Once again, the rehashing of the tired blue-collar Joe Biden myth begins.

A few days ago, an email from Zahra Takhshid (granddaughter of Mohammad Yazdi, former head of the Islamic Republic's judiciary) was sent to some people, and I was one of the recipients. In this e-mail, a plan for the Islamization of information technologies in the field of law, especially sharia, was proposed. This is apparently the research project of Takhshid as one of the lecturers at Harvard Law School. Harvard University, which once trained members of the U.S. Supreme Court, is at one of its lowest points today, where the Islamicization of the internet and information technology has been promoted...

Pull my finger.

Former Gov. Pataki thinks New Yorkers should take a hard look at recalling Gov. Cuomo over the “reprehensible” cover-up of nursing home deaths. On Thursday, Cuomo’s top aide, Melissa DeRosa, admitted to lawmakers that her boss concealed data about the coronavirus death toll among nursing-home residents to avoid having to share it with the federal government. Even before The Post exposed that scandal this week, roughly 40% of New Yorkers said they would favor a recall effort to oust the three-term incumbent if a recall mechanism existed in the Empire State. “I think it would be appropriate to take a...

In recent months, the hatred of Fox News from the left has been almost matched by trending memes – from the right! Examples include (to paraphrase) “Fox News has turned left.” “Fox News is being run by Disney.” “The woke wives of the Murdoch sons are running Fox.” “RINO Paul Ryan is running Fox News from his seat on the company’s board of directors.” And so on. All of that is false. Total BS. How do I know? Unlike most of the new anti-Fox critics, I actually watch the Fox News Channel (FNC). I take notes. I have monitored the...

Nicholas Winton was a British banker and humanitarian who established an organisation to rescue children at risk from Nazi Germany. Born to German-Jewish parents who had emigrated to Britain at the beginning of the 20th century, Winton supervised the rescue of 669 children, most of them Jewish, from Czechoslovakia on the eve of World War II. *snip* His work went unnoticed by the world for nearly 50 years, until 1988 when he was invited to the BBC television programme That's Life!, where he was reunited with several of the children he had saved.

The Bachelor host Chris Harrison has announced he will no longer appear in the TV special and said he is 'deeply remorseful' for 'excusing historical racism' after he defended a contestant who attended a plantation-themed ball. Harrison, who has hosted the ABC reality television dating show since 2002, issued a statement on his Instagram Saturday saying he is 'ashamed' of the 'pain' he has caused to people of color and that he is committed to 'evolve and be a better man.' He will also be 'stepping aside' from the show and will not feature in the After the Final Rose...

In times of turmoil, is toxic, heated rhetoric emanating from the White House justifiable?"They bring a knife – we bring a gun.""I want you to argue with them and get in their face!""I don't want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I'm angry!""Hit back twice as hard.""We talk to these folks… so I know whose ass to kick.""The other party's victory would mean hand to hand combat.""Punish your enemies.""I'm itching for a fight."Such combative political discourse must have been from Donald Trump, right? Except, Trump didn't say any of the above. Barack Obama did when...

The musical, which first bowed in 1951, was an instant smash, winning Tonys for best musical, best actress, and best actor for Yul Brynner, who catapulted to Hollywood fame. Paramount Pictures is whistling a happy tune as it prepares to set forth on new feature take on Rodgers & Hammerstein’s The King and I.

Arguably the greatest accomplishment of the Republican-controlled Senate during the Trump era was the confirmation of hundreds of constitutional conservative judges. The elevation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court was the final dagger into legions of bleeding hearts. The Left knew then that their Super Bowl was over. They lost. And they might not get back there again for at least generation. Older Minnesota Viking fans can sympathize. For decades the Left used the courts to advance agenda items that they knew could never garner enough support to be enacted by legislatures. They court-shopped for friendly judges. Pipeline...

The Senate voted 57-43 on Saturday to acquit former President Donald Trump of “incitement of an insurrection,” with seven GOP senators joining Democrats in voting “guilty.” Republican Senators Richard Burr of North Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania voted to convict the president, along with 50 Democratic senators. However, a two-thirds vote was needed to convict Trump.

Back in the 1990s, a friend was into “New Age,” and angels — but I was unsure of what she really believed. However, she shared a “light blessing” with me that I cherish and have used ever since. When a loved one departs for a trip (or any reason), you imagine them being surrounded by glowing white light. The blessing only takes two seconds but is very powerful and comforting.Why would...

The fight against low-cost and highly effective Ivermectin has begun. Dozens of studies and several meta-studies have already found low-cost ivermectin to be highly effective against covid. In January, even the US NIH had to change its stance from ‘negative’ to ‘neutral’. Detractors of ivermectin had to act, but they knew that this time, it wouldn’t be easy. In their fight against low-cost HCQ – which was also found to be effective in the early treatment of high-risk patients, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic properties – detractors published a made-up study in the Lancet (the Surgisphere scandal) and ran...

The impeachment trial of Donald Trump is something Joe Stalin would be proud of. This warrantless, baseless, and clearly unconstitutional show trial of impeachment by the Progressives (Deep State, socialists, globalists) is something Stalin would do. In America, trials are meant to ascertain facts in a neutral setting and, if necessary, meet out reasonable punishment. But in today's America, in our nation's capital, the Progressives in power used this Orwellian impeachment trial of Trump for a very different purpose with a very different planned outcome. From a biased impeachment judge, Democrat Patrick Leahy, to an impeachment manager, Eric Swalwell, who...
