The couple that lives there came out and spoke to the deputies, according to a news...

Got a question.. Do the Covid-19 vaccines contain aborted baby body parts? It is being reported that aborted baby cell lines are being used in Covid-19 vaccines. Need clarification.

Two Kinds of Love to Celebrate on St Valentine’s DaySt. Valentine’s Day is a day that celebrates romantic love. This sort of love, to be sure, is noble and to be encouraged. The Church has sometimes been accused of being suspicious of romantic love. It is true that certain heretical groups such as the Cathari and the Jansenist’s have frowned on sexual love in marriage. But they were considered heretics for their views. A true Catholic view celebrates romantic love (eros in Greek). As a Catholic Pastor I like others want to encourage romantic love and ultimately marriage. And within...

A New York college prep school sent white parents literary materials asking them to identify their “level” of whiteness, ranging from “white supremacist,” which is depicted in red, to “white abolitionist,” depicted in green. According to race education watchdog Christopher Rufo, white parents of sixth- through 12th-graders received the “tool for action” from the principal of East Side Community School asking them to work toward becoming white traitors and abolitionists by “subverting white authority” as well as “changing institutions, dismantling whiteness, and not allowing whiteness to reassert itself.” “This is the new language of public education,” Rufo tweeted along with...

Axios, a left-leaning news organization, deleted a tweet fact-checking a claim made by Vice President Kamala Harris, which fact-checkers rated as “wrong,” after Harris started to face backlash over her false claims. The tweet contained a video of a portion of an interview that Harris gave to Axios co-founder Mike Allen, which aired over the weekend. In the video, Harris was asked about the Biden administration’s response to the pandemic. “There was no stockpile … of vaccines,” Harris claimed. “There was no national strategy or plan for vaccinations. We were leaving it to the states and local leaders to try...

File this under; First World Problems...I enjoy many types of music. I'm still buying CDs to increase my collection. I have been trying to replace a certain recording of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. I had this one CD with no cover that I often listened to, but lost it during a move. I've been trying to replace that favored recording, but everything I've purchased since then has a very quick pace. I am in no 'hurry' to finish hearing the music. In fact, I'd prefer to prolong the experience. If I wanted to hear Brandenbrg #5 with all the harpsichord sounding...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — It was a promising COVID-19 treatment last year that is now sitting in stockpiles across the country. Hydroxychloroquine did not turn out to be the miracle drug once touted by the former president and sought out by Florida's governor. Instead, it has become a commodity for which the state has little use. Last April, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced he had secured a million doses of hydroxychloroquine from Israel at no cost to the state. The Republican and close ally of, at that time, President Donald Trump hosted a roundtable with doctors who supported the use of the...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried unveiled an online video Tuesday many politicos are calling the strongest proof yet Florida's sole statewide elected Democrat is preparing to challenge Gov. Ron DeSantis next year when he runs for re-election. The video features Fried speaking directly to the camera, condemning DeSantis' handling of the coronavirus pandemic. "This pandemic has been painful," she says in the video. "While he lashes out at everyone else like he's the victim, we all know who the real victims are: every Floridian who's lost a loved one, lost a job, lost a way of life." Democratic...

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Tuesday that Iran has informed the agency that it plans to halt snap nuclear inspections outside of its declared sites. “Iran informed the IAEA on Feb 15 that the country will stop implementing voluntary transparency measures under the JCPOA as of Feb 23, including the Additional Protocol,” said the UN’s nuclear watchdog in a statement quoted by Reuters.

Porch pirates, beware: this is 'Murica. Watch this thief get caught red-handed by a homeowner who comes out with a locked and loaded rifle: [Warning: Language] Thought 1: I love how the criminal's ride totally ditches him. Thought 2: That homeowner should have had his rifle at the ready and positioned himself behind cover lest the porch pirate was packing. Thought 3: God bless America. https://twitter.com/JaieNoel/status/1361497293837451264

Ice-coated outskirts, pagan New Year, roadside cafe waitresses, village schools - all this and more in local photographer Alexei Vasiliev's depiction of daily life in Russia's coldest region. Yakutia is Russia's largest region-five times the area of, for example, France. The distances between towns and villages here can stretch to 1,500-2,000 km. It is also home to the coldest place in the world, where snow can fall in June and the mercury can drop below -50C in winter. The Yakut frost and vicious mosquitoes are the stuff of legend and the subject of many online memes. Getting to Yakutia from...

At least 30 Taliban members died after an explosive device detonated during a bomb-making tutorial in Afghanistan’s northern Balkh province over the weekend, the Defense Post reported on Tuesday.

An explosive device accidentally detonated, killing at least “30 Taliban fighters including six foreign nationals who were expert mine makers,” according to the Afghan Army’s 209th Shaheen Corps, which confirmed the deadly blast in a statement released Saturday. The bodies of...

It is blue states, however, that have the real case for secession, because American politics systematically tilts money and power to smaller and more conservative states, undermining the interests of the majority of the population

A Chicago man devised an unorthodox way to reserve a parking spot — by freezing his denim pants, so they stand upright in the desired space. His only-in-the-Windy-City method of calling dibs has taken social media by storm. “Polar vortex fun: pants with nobody inside them!” wrote West Ridge’s Adam Selzer in a tweet with more than 1,300 likes. An accompanying photo shows his frozen pants standing in a parking spot as if H.G. Wells’ “Invisible Man” is guarding the space. To accomplish the in-jean-ious lifehack, the local tour guide explains that one simply needs to soak a pair of...
