First son Hunter Biden described Lunden Roberts, with whom he fathered a daughter out of wedlock in 2018, as a “basketball mentor” to one of his daughters as well as former President Barack Obama’s daughter Sasha in a September 2017 email. The email from Hunter Biden was stored on his abandoned laptop and first reported Monday by DailyMail.com. The message was a response to Cecilia Browning, the general manager of the Georgetown building which housed the offices of Hunter’s consulting firm Rosemont Seneca as well as the embassies of Sweden and Iceland. Browning’s initial email, sent Sept. 18, 2017, warned...

In a Time article published Wednesday, the 46-year-old actress interviewed a medical student named Malone Mukwende, who is aiming to teach others in his field how to be more thoughtful about the role that race plays when providing patient care....

My parents are both passed. They were born in the 1920’s, Dad served in WW2 and Mom worked at Bell Telephone. She also had 13 kids and became an RN, but that is another story. Both would often tell me of the extremely tough times during the Great Depression. Mom said she remembers as a little girl with nothing to eat, she would sometimes chew the edge of a pencil just to satisfy the need to chew. Dad also experienced the lack of food and till his last day, never let any food go to waste. Found out after his...

The city is Satan's demonic concentration camps where He through his godless and lawless minions seek to destroy, indoctrinate and corrupt the nations (Eph. 2:1-2). History testifies to this reality! As we see our cities today here in America super abounding in growing EXPONENTIAL lawlessness and godlessness we know that it cannot be too long for our nation. This Moody Science video called “Empty Cities” is a power testimony to the world in which we live in today. Done in the early 60’s before prayer was removed from school; look how far we have fallen as a nation since then!...

The U.S. government can't explain 143 of the 144 cases of unidentified flying objects reported by military planes, according to a highly anticipated intelligence report released Friday. [snip] "In a limited number of incidents, UAP reportedly appeared to exhibit unusual flight characteristics. These observations could be the result of sensor errors, spoofing, or observer misperception and require additional rigorous analysis," the report said. The report does not mention aliens or even vaguely hint at an extraterrestrial explanation for the reported sightings, but makes clear that much of the phenomena may be beyond the existing means the government has to identify...

Los Angeles Sheriff Alex Villanueva has urged the Board of Supervisors to declare a local state of emergency amid the spiraling homelessness crisis in the county. Villanueva cited exploding crime, struggling businesses, and lack of sanitation.

Beloved; May we truly - with all our being - desire what Almighty God desires for us. May we want to know, possess and exercise the wondrous will of Almighty God; which He has provided for us by the shed blood of His dear Son (Eph. 2:14). As we walk in time, may we - who know the Savior - seek to enjoy our redemptive benefits which have been given to us by our God and Savior (1 Cor. 1:30, Eph. 1:3, 2:1-19, Phil. 4:17, Col. 3:1-4) and the heavenly peace of heart that comes with the fact and reality...

Parliamentarians blacklist pro-lifers worldwide BRUSSELS (ChurchMilitant.com) - A group of European parliamentarians is painting pro-lifers as extremists in an effort to make abortion a human right across the globe. The European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual and Reproductive Rights released this month an investigative report into pro-life funding in Europe. The forum, known as the EPF, published its report, called "Tip of the Iceberg," on June 15, less than two weeks before Thursday's parliamentary vote on sexual and reproductive rights. The EPF's investigation discredits dozens of Christian and human rights organizations, labeling them "anti-gender funding actors active in Europe." The EPF...

While delivering remarks at the Reagan Presidential Library in California, former Vice President Mike Pence said he would “always be proud” that he certified the fraudulent electoral college votes of Joe Biden on January 6, a move that legal experts say was an outright betrayal of President Donald Trump, the Constitution of the United States, and the American people. Speaking to a crowd at the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California yesterday about the future of a political party that overwhelmingly doesn’t support him, former Vice President Mike Pence doubled down on his support for the actions he took...

What is left to say at this point when it comes to that “Hermit Kingdom” everyone loves to hate? North Korea, or also known as the so-called Democratic People’s Republic, is the ultimate Pandora’s Box and every president’s worst nightmare: A-bombs, chemical toxins, biological weapons, and missiles to lob them all over the world—including now at the continental United States. And Pyongyang knows how to get the news cycle to turn its way—thanks to making Northeast Asia shake with nuclear weapons tests.

ABC News continued its tendency to ignore (or almost ignore) the controversy over Vice President Kamala Harris waiting for more than 90 days to visit the border after being handed the border "issue" by President Biden. On Friday night's newscast, David Muir offered just 13 seconds to the story. It's 43 boring words. Blink, and you might miss it. The word "illegal" is nowhere to be found. The PBS NewsHour disposed of the matter in 58 seconds in its "news wrap." Anchor Judy Woodruff reported "Vice President Harris visited the U.S. Southern border today for the first time since taking...

The City of Austin’s biomass power plant sat idle again, producing no power, during another statewide electricity shortage last week, according to the city’s electric utility Austin Energy... “Last week when ERCOT called for conservation, we started the 24 – 48 hour process to start the plant back up. Upon startup, we discovered an issue that needed repair... Austin’s biomass plant produced no power. The grid alert last week unnerved many Texans, but it registered as a relatively minor inconvenience compared to the winter storm crisis Texas experienced in February. The Nacogdoches plant was powered off during that event as...

Recently, three major summits in the Western world—those of the G-7 (Group of Seven), NATO, and the U.S.–EU—have been held back-to-back, highlighting a significant strategic shift to confront the systemic threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). If 2020 was a year marked by a pandemic ravaging the world and the emergence of a new Cold War between the United States and China, 2021 will be one in which a strategic reorganization is being forged in the West to fight communist China. Since the start of 2021, the CCP has become more bluntly assertive in advancing its global ambitions—by...

VIDEOOkay, so "LatinX" probably isn't a word that Joe Biden would normally use. Most likely it was spoon-fed to him by his handlers so he could sound woke. However, his liberal handlers probably don't know that most Latinos HATE that word and find it offensive.

resident Joe Biden trended on Twitter for what many are calling a "creepy" interaction with the press during a press conference on Thursday. Biden held a press conference at the White House to share his thoughts on the announcement that a bipartisan group of senators came to a tentative deal on an infrastructure bill. Throughout the press conference, he behaved in a bizarre manner, repeatedly leaning over the podium and answered reporters' questions in a whisper. Townhall posted on Twitter a compilation video of Biden's press conference, where he leaned in to whisper his responses to the press. This caused...

For Yemeni fisherman Fares Abdulhakeem and his friends, the day was like any other as they headed out to sea to earn a living in the war-torn country -- until they hit the jackpot in the belly of a whale. Abdulhakeem related how he was among 35 fishermen who stumbled upon a floating sperm whale carcass in February, about 26 kilometres (16 miles) off the coast of the southern city of Aden. He said they dragged the dead mammal back to shore, where they sliced it open and struck "floating gold", or ambergris, a rare substance formed in the whale's...

Vice President Kamala Harris made her first trip to the U.S.-Mexico border Friday. She briefly left the El Paso airport to tour a Border Patrol station but did not make her way to the actual border. Harris's choice of El Paso was already absurd, given the illegal immigration crisis is at its peak in McAllen, which is nearly 800 miles away.

A woman has been arrested for child abandonment after she admitted to detectives that she is the mother of a baby found in a Lynwood park trash can earlier this month, officials announced Friday. The 22-year-old woman told authorities that she...had come to the U.S. illegally from Guatemala two months earlier, according to a news release from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
