In this interview, we talked with Kevin, a California native who, in his words, went from an almond milk latte drinking millennial liberal who viewed Donald Trump’s 2016 election as a catastrophe to America, to someone who voted for him in 2020.

PALM SUNDAY Matthew 21.1 - 11 1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, 2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. 3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. 4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the...

Most of the nation’s COVID-19 deaths could have been prevented, Dr. Deborah Birx contends in a new documentary. Birx, who headed the coronavirus task force under former President Trump, said of the approximately 100,000 deaths that came from the initial surge of the virus, “we have an excuse.” “All of the rest of them in my mind could have been mitigated or decreased substantially,” says in a clip from the documentary posted on the CNN site. The documentary is set to air Sunday.

The positive test rate identifying infections tumbled to its lowest level in nearly a year, the Health Ministry said Thursday, as the country reached the milestone of immunizing over half against COVID-19. Figures released by the ministry showed the positive rate for virus tests analyzed Wednesday was just 1.3%, the lowest level since June 2020. A week ago the positive test rate was 2% and a week before that it was 3%. The numbers have continued a steep decline since January, when the positive test rate reached over 10%. There were only 470 new patients diagnosed Wednesday, according to the...

Two young teenage girls have been charged with felony murder after killing a man in DC during an armed carjacking. Instead of fleeing the scene after the car crashed and rolled on its side, one of the girls began looking for her cellphone that was in the vehicle — while walking nonchalantly past their victim’s body. The girls, both black, are only 13 and 15 years old. Their Pakistani victim, Mohammad Anwar, 66, of Springfield, Virginia, was driving for Uber Eats when the girls attempted to steal his car and tased him.

New Mexico rancher Russell Johnson joins "Fox News Live" to share his experience with the migrant surge on the southern border, saying Biden's plan is to "roll back everything that worked." RUSSELL JOHNSON: We've experienced everything from homes being broke into, cattle theft, vehicles stolen, other buildings broken into. We've had pasture land burnt by illegals. They get lost, they give up, they're trying to signal for help, so they'll just light a pasture on fire. We've had lots of trash left behind, it's, and it's only getting worse, and it's because of all the policies that the Biden administration...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Psalm 17Psalm 17 A prayer of David. 1 Hear me, Lord, my plea is just; listen to my cry. Hear my prayer— it does not rise from deceitful lips. 2 Let my vindication come from you; may your eyes see what is right. 3 Though you probe my heart, though you examine me at night and test me, you will find that I have planned no evil; my mouth has not transgressed. 4 Though people tried to bribe me, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent through what your lips have...

The Biden administration is not requiring FBI fingerprint background checks of caregivers at its rapidly expanding network of emergency sites to hold thousands of immigrant teenagers, alarming child welfare experts who say the waiver compromises safety

This can only be a theory at this point in time, I am just a private citizen and do not have the intel resources required to prove or disprove this theory. But it makes sense to me based on what I knew in 2019 and what I know today. The theory is that powerful globalist interests, the sort of people who meet at Davos and Bilderberg (among other places), hatched this plot some time in 2019 to achieve two main objectives: (a) to provide cover for actions that were really meant to fight what they see as a dangerous climate...

I’ve found over the years that whether or not God could have created life on other planets is not the question that usually needs to be asked. The real question is, “Are the entities that people are reporting communication with and torment at the hands of in this modern era, authentic extra-terrestrials, or not?” But that being said, there’s one more point to be made pertaining to how contact with, or a passionate belief in, extra-terrestrials affects people who are Christians… which I’m offering largely as a warning to those of you who might be opening the door to belief...

The death toll from the collapse of a nine-story apartment building in Cairo has climbed to 18 people, according to Egyptian state media.

Police cordoned off the area, keeping back the curious and people apparently looking for relatives in the building. “They took four people out in front of me, who looked like they were almost gone,” said...

JMO, but as an observer, people seem not happy, especially after the pandemic. Trump spoke hope and prosperity.

Sesame Street is now teaching race consciousness to little-bitties: .... I was born in 1967. Sesame Street was born two years later. I don’t remember a time before Sesame Street. It was my window into a world beyond the rural South. In 1999, when my wife and I moved to brownstone Brooklyn, I remember thinking, “I live on Sesame Street” — this, because the streets there reminded me of what I had grown up with. Though our parish (county) was half black and half white, until I started elementary school, I lived in a world that was de facto segregated....

The U. S. Civil War was an extraordinary and unique event in world history. For the first and only time a country sacrificed hundreds of thousands of its own citizens in a righteous fight to end the evil of slavery. That fight had begun years before with many heroes risking their lives, but the war was the moment of truth. Slavery would be abolished or the country would cease to exist. Good prevailed. Since then, the struggle for racial equality has continued and, despite many twists and turns, some extremely disheartening, has generally headed in the right direction… until now....

In the wake of a pandemic that has devastated Latino communities in California, a new statewide poll finds that Latino voters are more likely to vote to recall Gov.
