America is a racist country where young black men are shot at random by evil white police officers. America’s “system” is infected with “racism.” Nobody can really point out what the “system” is or why it’s racist, but it’s keeping the black man down. That’s what the Critical Race Theory promoters, including politicians and activists, would have us believe. Because America is so racist and anti-black, tens of thousands of black Haitians are fighting to get into the United States and to stay here. It makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?

Itzehoe (Germany) (AFP) — A 96-year-old former secretary at a concentration camp will go on trial in Germany Thursday, one of the first women implicated in Nazi-era crimes to be prosecuted in decades. Irmgard Furchner is charged with complicity in the murders of more than 10,000 people at the Stutthof camp in occupied Poland.

Former Obama administration Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “All In” that Americans who have not received a coronavirus vaccine are like “secondhand smoke” in that they can make people sick. Sebelius said, “I think what President Biden has done is balance between what the science says and trying to cajole, encourage, make it easy for people to follow the science. [cut] She added, “It’s a lot like secondhand smoke. You have a right to be a smoker. The science is very clear what smoking will do to you, what cancer will be caused, what...

Artist's impression of C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein). (NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/J. da Silva/Spaceengine) ====================================================================================== A comet so huge it was initially mistaken for a dwarf planet is on an inward-bound trajectory from the outer Solar System. There's no reason to worry – C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein), as the comet is called, will approach no closer to the Sun than just outside the orbit of Saturn. But its large size and relative closeness will afford a rare opportunity to study a pristine object from the Oort Cloud, and find new information about the formation of the Solar System. "We have the privilege of having discovered perhaps...

Paul wrote to the early church, “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16, NKJV). This command to walk in the Spirit is given to all, not just a few super-saints. Here are three steps for how you can obtain this walk. 1. You must go after this walk with everything in you. If you are saved, the Holy Spirit has already been given to you. Now ask him to take over and surrender to him. Ask him to be your guide and friend. As the gospels command, “So...

A long-awaited King Salman Mosque, the largest mosque in the Maldives, is set to open soon. The mosque was funded by the custodian of the two holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud who has donated approximately $25 million. It is worth noting that the acting undersecretary of the ministry of Islamic Affairs, Call and Guidance, Sheikh Awad Al-Enezi headed the Kingdom’s delegation in the official meeting to discuss arrangements for the opening of the mosque in the presence of a number of officials in the two countries on August 30, 2021. The mosque consists of 6 floors and...

“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God” (1 Corinthians 2:12). To be effective, spiritual gifts must be used in the power of the Holy Spirit, not in the power of the flesh. One of the constant battles all believers face is to avoid ministering their spiritual gifts in the power of the flesh. Even those of us who are called to be preachers (prophets) need to subject our spirits to other mature believers (1 Cor. 14:32). As a...

*** For the first six years he served in that office, he quietly plodded away, forging victories for freedom, the Constitution and conservative principles. But within the past year, the left finally took notice, and now that he is running for U.S. Senate, they have made him a target. The Arizona Republic runs nearly daily attacks on him. It’s become a joke that the editors and reporters there sit around every morning discussing who is going to write the latest hit piece on him and what it will cover. He’s been endorsed by Mark Levin, who told him “You’ve got...

A Throwback Thursday challenge: Fill in the blanks: “If (blank) were a fish, I’d throw (preferred pronoun) back.” Can be either a person or an inanimate object, or both, as in “If Biden were a fish I’d throw it back.” You can also choose a specific site to throw it back, e.g. the swamp, sewer, shark-infested waters, etc.And to get you in the mood why not start throwback Thursday off right with some coffee and a proper laminated pastry, in this case a croishark.It looks like somebody had way too much time on their hands during the lockdown.OK Pepperidge Farm,...

How to best ensure substantial long-run economic growth should be a question on everyone's mind. Its benefits can't be overstated, and it's undeniable that the lack of growth is a root contributor to many seemingly disconnected economic and social problems. That's the central theme of a recent podcast discussion between The New York Times' Ezra Klein and George Mason University economist Tyler Cowen. They both expressed support for reforms to make government less bureaucratic and more agile. For example, Cowen cited the Food and Drug Administration's recent failure to approve COVID-19 treatments quickly enough, while also getting in the way...

...something is rotten at the top. The Foreign Affairs website features an article by liberal professors Ronald R. Krebs of the University of Minnesota and Robert Ralston of MIT and Harvard’s Kennedy School which criticizes conservatives for their recent distrust of America’s military. The article is titled “Why Conservatives Turned on the U.S. Military,” with a sub-heading that reads “Right-Wing Attacks Are Eroding Trust in the Armed Forces.” The authors criticize conservative politicians and pundits for labeling the U.S. military as “woke.” The article is fundamentally misguided in that it confuses conservatives’ dislike for Pentagon policies with the Democrats’ long-standing...

A section of the $3.5 trillion spending bill that Democrats are desperately pushing through raises the stakes even higher in this purge against the vaccinated. Americans discovered on Wednesday that, on Saturday, Democrats slipped something awful into their $3.5 trillion ironically named “Build Back Better Bill.” If the bill becomes law (and the only thing currently stopping it is that Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin are saying “no”), employers can be charged as much as $700,000 per unvaccinated employee. This is madness. The Daily Mail had the story: The Biden administration has included a vaccine enforcement mechanism in the...

President Biden took in the Congressional Baseball Game Wednesday night as he attempted to shore up support for a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill that faces an uncertain future after another dramatic day on Capitol Hill. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had scheduled a vote on the legislation for Thursday, defying left-wing members of her conference who want a larger $3.5 trillion social spending plan to move through both houses of Congress first. However, multiple lawmakers from both parties told The Post Wednesday night that they believed the infrastructure bill would not come up for a House vote as scheduled...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemProverbs 30Sayings of Agur 30 The sayings of Agur son of Jakeh—an inspired utterance. This man’s utterance to Ithiel: “I am weary, God, but I can prevail.[a] 2 Surely I am only a brute, not a man; I do not have human understanding. 3 I have not learned wisdom, nor have I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One. 4 Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Whose hands have gathered up the wind? Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth?...

Washington -- One of the unsung prophets of Aukus last week was the great British historian Andrew Roberts, who soon will be recognized throughout the English-speaking world as the man who has attempted to retrieve the reputation of King George III from the sneers of ... well, of people like me. His biography of George III will come out in early November, and of course, I have not had a chance to read it, but Roberts will have his work cut out for him with George's treatment of Gen. George Washington during our Revolutionary War and George's lapses into madness....

WASHINGTON, Sunday, Sept. 29. During last week it was so frequently reported from day to day, that our troops had taken possession of Munson's Hill, that when last night this long predicted event took place, it found few believers among those least excited by sensation reports. A personal visit however puts the fact beyond doubt. The American flag now floats there in place of that of the rebels. Detachments from Gen.'s RICHARDSON's, KEYE's and WADSWORTH's Brigades, and also from Gen. FRANKLIN's Division now occupy Munson's Hill, being in command of Col. FERRY of the Fifth Michigan regiment. Early this forenoon,...

Dog the Bounty Hunter, who is on the hunt for fugitive Brian Laundrie, has reportedly come across a fresh campsite at a Florida park where he and his team found a can of Monster Energy Ultra Gold. The can showed no signs of rust or faded colors, but the reality TV star — whose real name is Duane Chapman — found no firm evidence the late Gabby Petito’s boyfriend was still on Egmont Key in the woods of Shell Island near Fort De Soto Park, Fox News reported. “We’re here at the island. This would be and could be the...

Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin continued to spar one day after the final debate in the campaign for Virginia Governor. One exchange that continued to receive attention Wednesday involved legislation that would require schools to notify parents of sexually-explicit content in their curriculum. The heart of the debate was when Terry McAuliffe looked at the camera and said, "I don’t think parents should be telling schools what to teach their children."

The ethical corruption of our national new media has extended to a degree that once would have seemed unimaginable. We were exposed to yet another remarkable example with the reporting on the long-awaited audit of the 2020 presidential election results in Arizona. Widespread election fraud had been suspected in Maricopa County, the largest in the state, and the state Legislature authorized a thorough forensic investigation. A draft of the election report was leaked to the press last week, and every news outlet quickly released selectively chosen details. The message was straightforward. The audit proved that Joe Biden had actually won...
