Katie Boyd Britt, the president and CEO of the Business Council of Alabama, is expected to jump into the Alabama Senate race next month as some Republicans in the state seek an alternative to Rep. Mo Brooks, who has already earned former President Donald Trump's endorsement, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. Some Republicans are unnerved at the slash-and-burn politics of Brooks -- who led the charge in Congress to overturn the 2020 election results -- and view him as an unreliable ally to the business community. They hope the next Alabama senator will continue the legacy of...

A bone arrowhead found in the ancient Philistine city of Gath may have been fired off by the city's defenders as part of a last stand described in the Bible. According to the Hebrew Bible, a king named Hazael), who ruled the kingdom of Aram from around 842 B.C. to 800 B.C., conquered Gath (also known as Tell es-Safi) before marching on Jerusalem.

resident Biden did a dramatic, public 180 this week on looking into the origins of the Coronavirus that has killed close to 600,000 Americans to date. With growing public interest in recent news reports that this disease likely escaped a high-risk laboratory in Wuhan, China, notorious for “gain of function” research to make bat viruses more transmissible and lethal to humans, Biden as late as Tuesday continued to punt this mystery to the World Health Organization to solve. The next day, Biden reversed course, announcing a new 90-day review of intelligence on this important question, and committed to releasing the...

Dear friends, in such EXPONENTIAL lawless and godless days here in America; along with America's fate hanging in the balance and the Day of the Lord at our doorstep; there is ETERNAL HOPE, GRACE, and LOVE for any who will call upon the Name of the Lord and be delivered from their personal transgressions against their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator; and from Hell's ETERNAL separation from Him (Matt. 6:33; 7:13-14; John 1:12; 3:16-17; 36; 11:25-26; Acts 4:12; 16:30-34; Eph. 2:8-9; 1 John 5:13; Rev. 20:10-15; 22:11)!

Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre (1823-1915) was a fiercely independent thinker who had a slavish drive for scientific truth. He was what you’d call an autodidact – a self-educated man who picked his own path to becoming a physicist, a chemist, a botanist, and an etymologist. In a thinking man’s way, he questioned ideas like the paradox of Buridan’s Ass, a concept oft quoted in the schools of his day to illustrate the ironies of free will. One version of the paradox went like this: If you take a donkey that is equally starved and equally thirsty and sit him between water...

When the Aramean king laid siege to biblical Gath 2,800 years ago, the defenders resorted to desperate measures ...the Gittites manufactured the arrowhead from bone when the city was besieged by Hazael’s forces, around 830 B.C.E., because they were short of raw materials to make metal weapons. ...Testament to Hazael’s military power are impressive siege works, including a massive trench and several towers, archaeologists have found surrounding Gath and dated to the time of the Aramean onslaught. Under Hazael, the northern Levantine kingdom of Aram, with its capital in Damascus, briefly expanded into a mini-empire that controlled a good chunk...

California workforce regulators recommended Friday that the state stick with a July 31 deadline for updating certain employer pandemic safety rules instead of adopting Gov. Gavin Newsom’s mid-June lifting of mask and physical distancing requirements in most social settings.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Psalm 79Psalm 79 A psalm of Asaph. 1 O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble. 2 They have left the dead bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your own people for the animals of the wild. 3 They have poured out blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead. 4 We are objects of contempt to our neighbors, of scorn and derision to those around...

Surface Transportation Board (STB) Chairman Martin Oberman yesterday asked all Class Is to provide an update on their preparedness to meet service demand as the nation continues to recovery economically from the COVID-19 pandemic. In a May 27 letter sent to Class I chief executives, Oberman expressed concern that recent rail service problems — as reported by some shippers — might relate to a broader trend of rail labor reductions over the past several years, in addition to the furloughs and quarantines brought about by the pandemic. Oberman also asked the CEOs to provide information about the sufficiency of operating...

It was May 5, 2020 and CNN's Chris Cillizza was in an exuberant mood. Why? Because he was certain that Dr. Anthony Fauci had put President Donald Trump in his place for daring to suggest that the origin of COVID-19 could have been from a leak at the Wuhan lab. Cillizza's triumphant attitude was reflected in the title of his story, "Anthony Fauci just crushed Donald Trump's theory on the origins of the coronavirus."

Following now completed joint war games held by the US, Japan, France and Australia in the East China Sea off the southwest coast of Japan earlier this month, China has lashed out particularly at its large regional neighbor Australia, calling its military “weak” and “insignificant” at a moment the two are locked in a severe trade and diplomatic tit-for-tat dispute. Beijing voiced specific threats and warnings via its state-run English language mouthpiece Global Times, which recently wrote, “Australia’s military is too weak to be a worthy opponent of China, and if it dares to interfere in a military conflict for...

“Every war must end” was the title of defense analyst Fred C. Ikle’s 1971 book. Ikle became undersecretary of Defense for policy in the Reagan administration and his observation passed from insight to conventional wisdom. The Trump administration in its final weeks and the Biden government in its first months invoked the “all wars must end” axiom to justify withdrawing the last U.S. combat troops from Afghanistan. “We are not a people of perpetual war—it is the antithesis of everything for which we stand and for which our ancestors fought. All wars must end,” asserted Christopher Miller, acting secretary of...

Cook-outs, prayer circles, marches, pony rides. As police step up patrols in Chicago’s hot spots to contain violence this holiday weekend, community workers will fan out to some of the same places to draw people out of the line of fire. Shootings are up 36% this year compared to the same period in 2020, according to Sun-Times data. Homicides are spiking in areas long afflicted with gun violence. Last year, the Lightfoot administration released a report titled “Our City Our Safety” that relied heavily on violence prevention groups in the community to connect with people caught in the cycle of...

Has the media ever had a worse week than having to admit, however indirectly, that Trump was right about the Wuhan Flu? Of course there will be no introspection about how the media’s TDS caused them to rush to judgment. The dodging and weaving would do Muhammad Ali proud. The media is used to receiving leaks; now they’re the ones leaking—leaking out the last shred of their credibility.And finally:Enjoy Memorial Day Weekend All! Remember our troops current and past.

The chancellor and provost of Rutgers University apologized Thursday for issuing a statement that denounced the recent surge in anti-Semitic attacks because he said it “failed to communicate support for our Palestinian community members.” The initial statement from Chancellor Christopher Molloy and Provost Francine Conway Wednesday said they were “saddened by and greatly concerned about the sharp rise in hostile sentiments and anti-Semitic violence in the United States.” The Thursday statement, titled “An Apology,” included the message that “our diversity must be supported by equity, inclusion, antiracism, and the condemnation of all forms of bigotry and hatred, including anti-Semitism and...
