In Bible interpretation, it has become clear that a proper foundation must be laid in order to get at the truth that is sought. Otherwise, one will snatch out verses here and there that fit the person’s preconceived idea. It seems to be the problem behind every deviation from the whole counsel of God, and that last thought is a staggering reality that often shows up. In all relationship issues between God and man, the truth is this: Man has the knowledge of good and evil, and it doesn’t take a lot of searching and pondering over the Scriptures to...

Microsoft has teamed up with a number of tech and media companies to create a system of tracing content around the internet that could destroy online privacy and anonymity, radically transforming the nature of the web.

As COVID cases began to rise a year ago, a Chinese company contacted several U.S. states and offered to set up testing labs. As a byproduct, the Chinese firm, Beijing Genomics Institute, would likely gain access to the DNA of those tested. The offer was tempting for states struggling to set up their own testing facilities for a new virus on short notice. But U.S. national security officials urged the states to reject the offer, citing concerns about how China might use personal data collected on Americans. "We certainly reached out to our partners and the community to make sure...

"Jessica" is an instrumental piece by American rock band the Allman Brothers Band, released in December 1973 as the second single from the group's fourth studio album, Brothers and Sisters (1973).

Betts wrote the majority of "Jessica" at the band's farm in Juliette, Georgia. He named it after his daughter, Jessica Betts, who was an infant when it was released. She had bounced along to the song's...

A review of Capitol security after the Jan. 6 riots is going to recommend adding more fencing around the building, as well as more than 1,000 Capitol Police officers, two sources with direct knowledge of the findings told CNN. The draft proposal of recommendations comes just over a month after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tapped retired Lt.

Past tweets from prominent Democrats including Vice President Kamala Harris and White House press secretary Jen Psaki that were critical of former President Donald Trump’s approval of airstrikes in Syria resurfaced after President Joe Biden ordered an airstrike late Thursday. Harris, then a California senator, previously tweeted that she was “deeply concerned about the legal rationale” of an April 2018 airstrike approved by Trump that targeted three chemical weapons sites in Syria. Harris also said the former president needed to lay out a Syria strategy “in consultation with Congress.” Psaki previously questioned Trump’s “legal authority” to conduct airstrikes after the...

A growing number of public officials are sounding the alarm over the state Supreme Court's ruling Thursday that simple drug possession can no longer be used as the basis for an arrest in Washington state because it violates the due process clause of the state and U.S. constitutions. Those officials warn that the court's ruling could have serious unintended consequences, including the possible early release of previously convicted criminals and the discontinuing of drug court-ordered treatment programs for addicts. King County councilmember Reagan Dunn, a former prosecutor who unsuccessfully ran for state attorney general in 2012, is one of those...

An American Airlines pilot was recorded on Sunday during a flight over New Mexico when he reported via radio an unidentified “long cylindrical object” flying over the airplane. The airline confirmed the transmission and pointed to the FBI, who says it’s “aware” of the incident. The pilot of the Phoenix-bound American Airlines flight 2292 first asked air traffic controllers, “Do you have any targets up here?” adding “We just had something go right over the top of us,” according to the radio transmission recorded by aviation blogger and radio interceptor Steve Douglass. “I hate to say this but it looked...

Joe Biden is getting on in years. He's no spring chicken anymore. Well, that means that once in a while he has a senior moment, and yesterday was no exception. Biden suddenly realized that he had accidentally mailed nearly a trillion dollars in stimulus money to defense contractors instead of sending the checks to Americans as promised. "Whoops-a-daisy!" he said, smacking his forehead as he realized his error. "Did I do that? Wow, that was some real malarkey. Hoo boy, I'd forget my head if Jill wasn't around to make sure I kept it screwed onto my shoulders. Oh boy,...

The Feb. 25-28 conference features at least nine program points focused on elections, including seven part series of talks on “Protecting Elections,” a panel titled “Shining a Light on the Left’s 2020 Shadow Campaign,” and a discussion with election lawyers dubbed “The Voter Files: The Truth is Out There.”

Politico reports that the Democrats, led by Rep. Jimmy Panetta (CA) and Rep. Ted Lieu (CA), wrote a letter warning that “vesting one person” with the authority to initiate a nuclear war “entails real risks.” “While any president would presumably consult with advisors before ordering a nuclear attack, there is no requirement to do so,” the letter explains. ...

Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, is advising Americans to not wait for certain COVID-19 vaccines to become available before getting inoculated. “When a vaccine becomes available, take it,” Fauci told Savannah Guthrie during an interview on the "Today" show Thursday. “This is a race, Savannah, between the virus and getting vaccines into people. The longer one waits on getting vaccinated, the better chance the virus has to get a variant or a mutation,” Fauci said. “So, the sooner we get vaccine into the arms of individuals, whatever that vaccine is ... once it gets by the FDA...
