Gays are coming for your children. Don’t take my word for it, take their word! The following excerpt is from the song, “This is Gay — We are coming for your Children”, San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus, 07/08/2021, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj4UffoHcjoWe’re coming for them, We’re coming for your children, We’re coming for them, We’re coming for your children. […] We’ll convert your children, and then we’ll turn to you,Decades ago my unsaved Vietnam war protesting father warned me about smiling, singing, happy gays (which the Bible calls Sodomites.) He said that behind their phony veneer and effeminate voices was something predatory and...

What happens when you join the national #WomensMarch to find out what it's really all about? We find out. Also, we went as undercover transgenders.

Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra on Thursday addressed the pushback in response to the White House’s door-to-door vaccination effort to encourage people to get vaccinated. CNN “New Day” host Brianna Keilar asked Becerra about criticism the announcement received, saying it isn’t the government’s business knowing who and who has not been vaccinated. Becerra said it is “absolutely” the government’s business to know such information, reasoning that the government “has spent trillions of dollars” to protect Americans.

Overall, COVID-19 vaccination rates in Chicago are good. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 70% of Cook County adults have received at least one dose of the vaccine. But a closer look shows unequal rates depending on what neighborhood you’re in. A recent South Side Weekly report used city data to show that Chicago’s vaccine disparity is widening between wealthier parts of the city, like the Loop, and areas on the South and West sides with a majority of Black and brown residents. Health officials are continuing to urge the public to get vaccinated, especially...

New Zealand’s COVID-19 Response Minister warned that the government soon will begin “chasing out” people who still haven’t gotten the COVID-19 vaccine. MP Chris Hipkins said Wednesday that the New Zealand government next year will soon start pursuing individuals who haven’t “come forward” to get the experimental jab. “I think early next year we’ll be in the phase of chasing out people who haven’t come forward to get their vaccination, or missed their bookings and so on,” Hipkins told reporters following a COVID press update.

The Minnesota Fed is requiring its employees to be vaccinated Lincoln Project shifting focus to corporations that have donated to 'Sedition… The delta variant of COVID-19 is now the dominant strain in the United States, and while that certainly sounds scary, Dr. Monica Gandhi of UCSF has a message for concerned Californians: Don't panic. In this op-ed, Gandhi and medical student Kyle Hunter argue that despite "new fear-based headlines" and confusing mask guidance, "the situation in the context of high vaccination rates is totally different." "In the Bay Area, nearly 80% of the population over 18 has received at least...

And might increase the risk of side effects. Muscle relaxant drugs are largely ineffective for low back pain, despite being widely prescribed for this condition, suggests an analysis of the latest evidence published by The BMJ today. The findings show that muscle relaxants might reduce pain in the short term, but the effect is too small to be considered clinically meaningful, and there is an increased risk of side effects. But the researchers stress that the certainty of evidence is low and say large trials are urgently needed to resolve uncertainties around the use of these drugs for back pain....

Legendary country star Toby Keith, 59, released a birthday song for the United States. The bittersweet song celebrates America and its freedoms with a cautious tale about the current state of affairs brought to us by extremist activists. He mentions the anti-American sentiment and activities that have flooded the streets and communities during the pandemic. Keith immediately addresses this negativity during what should be a celebratory time for our nation.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Researchers have detected a variant of coronavirus, first found in South America, in wastewater in southern Nevada, suggesting it is spreading in the community. Scientists at UNLV have found the Lambda variant, or C.37, in samples, Dr. Edwin Oh, an associate professor at the school’s Neurogenetics and Precision Medicine Lab, told the I-Team. Southern Nevada Water Authority scientists take samples from wastewater to see how much coronavirus is in our sewer system. Oh and other researchers analyze the samples, which help public health leaders find spikes and clusters before they can be identified through traditional testing...

A 43-year-old woman in the U.K. was left unable to speak after getting the second dose of the AstraZeneca Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine. Artist Sofia Gomes believes that the vaccine caused her to suffer a “severe allergic reaction” after getting the vaccine on May 19. Prior to the second dose, she experienced leg pain and a high fever after her first AstraZeneca vaccine dose last March. The artist residing in the town of Wisbech in Cambridgeshire wrote that she had no underlying health problem prior to her inoculation. Her partner Victor Plowman shared how the artist lost her speech. On...

EUGENE, Ore. — As Oregon considers ways to implement President Joe Biden's door-to-door campaign to persuade unvaccinated residents to take the Covid vaccine, one tactic could be to send out the National Guard to neighborhoods. Oregon has reached the 70 percent vaccination threshold recommended by Biden, but that's not enough, according to zealous public health bureaucrats. In the state's fourth most populous county, which includes the college town of Eugene, National Guard members may be among the teams designated to persuade people to take the shots, according to Jason Davis, Public Information Officer with Lane County Public Health. "We're looking...

Human poop can reveal more than you might think, even when it's really, really old. In a new study of a Central American Maya civilization, samples of ancient feces have shown how the size of this community varied significantly in response to contemporary climate change. Researchers identified four distinct periods of population size shift as a reaction to particularly dry or particularly wet periods, which haven't all been documented before: 1350-950 BCE, 400-210 BCE, 90-280 CE, and 730-900 CE. In addition, the flattened poop piles show that the city of Itzan – which in the modern day would be in...

Government ethics watchdogs and art critics alike are voicing their concerns as first son Hunter Biden prepares for his first solo art exhibition this fall — where paintings from the former lawyer and lobbyist are expected to fetch between $75,000 and $500,000 and buyers will remain anonymous. “The whole thing is a really bad idea,” Richard Painter, chief ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, told the Washington Post. “The initial reaction a lot of people are going to have is that he’s capitalizing on being the son of a president and wants people to give him a lot of...

Re Marking Tragedy (Letters, July 6): As the revelations continue and more graves are discovered, I think the sins of the church are hard to ignore. I once considered it my north star of moral high ground. Now I am left bereft.

Two weeks ago, the long-awaited report by the Pentagon on 144 instances of UFOs, or as they say Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon, concludes that 143 of the cases looked at defied any sort of earthly explanation. They could not be connected to any military or technology program to any government of any nation on the face of the Earth. In short, the Pentagon has just admitted that UFOs existing outside of human technology do in fact exist. And boy, do they ever. Objects have been flying over the International Space Station, or ISS, for many years now, and many times that...

Leftist The New York Times economist Paul Krugman can’t stop selling himself as the public relations foghorn for President Joe Biden’s economy. Krugman headlined his latest op-ed “It’s Morning in Joe Biden’s America” in a nonsensical twist of the late former President Ronald Reagan’s 1984 campaign ad. Krugman haphazardly celebrated the 850,000 jobs increase in June and attacked former President Donald Trump: “Oh, and so much for Donald Trump’s warnings that there would be a ‘Biden depression’ if he weren’t re-elected.” It’s too bad for Krugman that Politico just tweeted that “U.S. economic data does not look quite as robust...

As Afghanistan descends into tribal warfare following America’s hasty departure, China plans to “swoop in” and “fill the vacuum.” “Beijing just can’t wait for the U.S. to get out of the way,” Syed Fazl-e-Haider of the Daily Beast reports. Beijing, which runs a multi-racial empire, does not appear especially concerned that that land-locked, mountainous Afghanistan is often called the “graveyard of empires.” “Compared with other powers, China has the ability to get involved in Afghan affairs without becoming entangled in it,” writes Zhang Jiadong of Fudan University in the Communist Party’s Global Times. The title of Zhang’s July 6 piece...

Why even bring up the topic of amillennialism? I do so because a great many pastors today subscribe to some form of this errant teaching that denies the prophesied restoration of a kingdom for Israel as well as the biblical promise of Jesus' millennial reign before the eternal state. Amillennialism dominated the church during the dark ages and persisted long after the Reformation. The reason for this rests with three factors that fueled this teaching for well over a thousand years and remain in place today, at least to some degree. It's vital to our faith that we understand the...
