The sword, recovered off the coast of Israel, most likely belonged to a knight who fell into the sea or lost the weapon in battle, experts said. Shlomi Katzin attached a GoPro camera to his forehead, slipped on his diving fins and jumped into the waters off the Carmel coast of Israel, eager to go exploring. On the sandy floor of the Mediterranean Sea, he found a sword. Archaeologists would later determine that it was about 900 years old. It weighed four pounds, measured about four feet long and originated from the Third Crusade, experts said. “Oh yes, he was...

CHOWCHILLA, CA – According to reports, at least one female prison inmate at the Central California Women’s Facility has turned up pregnant since the state passed legislation allowing biological men to be housed in biological women’s prison facilities.

VIDEOOkay, not the election you might be thinking of but the point is how is it okay for liberals to claim that elections of the past were stolen and suffer no consequences yet the mere hint that the 2020 election was stolen means you are subject to Social Media punishment and lectured about "THE BIG LIE?" However, it was a bit surprising to hear The Hill Rising's Grim claim that the 1960 election was stolen since it tarnishes the Camelot legacy so beloved by liberals. You will also note that a lot of Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, also claimed that...

Malaysian government didn't want Achmed in the show, so he brought his brother Jacque Merde, a French terrorist (Achmed with a beret and a mustache, and a fake accent).

Conservative radio host Dennis Prager announced Monday that he is recovering from the novel coronavirus, saying that he deliberately sought to contract the virus to acquire natural immunity, instead of getting vaccinated. “I’m broadcasting from my home because I’m not going into the station as I have COVID,” said Mr. Prager on his YouTube show. “I tested positive last week, and I have been steadily improving. At no point was I in danger of hospitalization.”

As a U.S. Senator, Joe Biden was known as a political moderate. When he ran for president in 2020, he portrayed himself as the Democrats' middle-of-the-road candidate -- a man who could work with both sides of the aisle and unite Americans of all political persuasions. However, when being a moderate wasn't helping his chances of winning the nomination, candidate Biden quickly switched horses in midstream, adopting the far-left platform of socialist Bernie Sanders. This move won him the Democrats' nomination and made him beholden to the radical left-wing of the Democrat Party. It also called into question Biden's judgment,...

Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe rolled out an ad on Tuesday invoking his response as governor to the 2017 far-right riots in Charlottesville, Va. in his latest effort to tie his GOP opponent Glenn Youngkin to former President Trump. The 60-second ad begins with Trump in 2017 saying there were "very fine people on both sides" of the riots before pivoting to a clip of Youngkin saying he was "honored" to have Trump's endorsement. A clip of McAuliffe's response to the riots is then shown. "I have a message to all the white supremacists and the Nazis that came...

WASHINGTON, Friday, Oct. 18. I telegraphed you yesterday that the rebels had sent away their sick and disabled and baggage from Leesburgh, and that the six regiments yet encamped there were preparing to retire. Information is received to-day that the entire force has been withdrawn, even to the scouts and pickets. Last night their pickets were withdrawn from Vienna, and also from in front of Fairfax Court-house. To-day Gen. WADSWORTH was within a mile of the Court-house and in plain sight. He could see a few companies of infantry and cavalry drawn up in line, but not a large force....

Back in early 2016, when Larry Kudlow and I suggested that then-presidential candidate Donald Trump proposed a 20% business tax rate for U.S. companies (down from the highest in the world rate of 35%), he enthusiastically endorsed this "America First" policy -- not because he loved corporate America but because he realized that as long as small and large American companies were paying the highest tax rates, jobs and factories would continue to move offshore. We argued that the biggest beneficiaries would be American workers who would have access to more jobs and higher wages. The liberal economists we debated...

The totalitarian-minded education establishment and its extreme left-wing allies are starting to freak out as conservatives abandon futile efforts to “reform” government schools in favor of a mass-exodus strategy. Even powerful union bosses are starting to panic. The trend has been building quietly for years. But it has accelerated rapidly in recent months as a trickle of families fleeing the system became a tidal wave amid face-mask edicts, vaccine mandates, Critical Race Theory, Marxist indoctrination, extreme “sex education,” and other controversies. The first major shoe to drop in response came on September 30, when the fringe left-wing magazine New Republic...

PITTSBURGH -- Twenty years ago, Paul Carson said he never would have hesitated to speak out at a school board meeting about any issue affecting his children's education. But one day, that changed. "I just don't do it," Carson told me. A physician who practices medicine in an urban Pittsburgh hospital, Carson said it has nothing to do with his being 20 years older. "It has everything to do with the culture we are navigating." Anyone, he said, can take a video of what you say, edit it to his or her advantage, then post it on social media. Or...

Conservative talk-show host Dan Bongino is telling his syndicator: Your vaccine mandate or me. “You can’t have both.” Prefacing his challenge with “I don’t work for anyone” and is merely a “partner with Cumulus,” Mr. Bongino challenged the radio giant on Monday’s episode of “The Dan Bongino Show” to cancel his program, vowing to “not let this go.” “You can have me, or you can have a vaccine mandate, but you can’t have both,” Mr. Bongino said. “I grew up without a lot of money. … I’m not leaving those guys behind.” Cumulus Media announced this summer that employees who...

October 19, 2021 Tuesday of week 29 in Ordinary Time St. Paul of the Cross, Scranton, PA Readings at MassLiturgical Colour: Green.First readingRomans 5:12,15,17-21 ©Divine grace, coming through Jesus Christ, came as an abundant free giftSin entered the world through one man, and through sin death, and thus death has spread through the whole human race because everyone has sinned; but the gift itself considerably outweighed the fall. If it is certain that through one man’s fall so many died, it is even more certain that divine grace, coming through the one man, Jesus Christ, came to so many as...

North Korea fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) off its east coast on Tuesday, South Korea's military said, pulling Japan's new prime minister off the campaign trail and overshadowing the opening of a major arms fair in Seoul. The U.S. military's Indo-Pacific Command condemned the launch as destabilising, but judged it did not pose an immediate threat to the United States or its allies. South Korean and U.S. officials were investigating if the missile was a smaller, previously unseen version displayed last week at an exhibit in Pyongyang, a South Korean military source told Reuters, citing ongoing analysis. They were...

The INFORM Consumers act is another Democrat gaslight targeting the little guy. Is there anything Democrats can't do...to kill off America's innovators and entrepreneurs? Sure as heck not, given their latest sneaky plan to discourage small — and I mean really small — businesses. According to Jessica Pate, writing at Issues & Insights: The INFORM Consumers act would impose new requirements and burdens on the millions of people who run small businesses. Similar bills introduced in more than a dozen state legislatures are generally supported by big-box retailers eager to siphon online money back to their stores. Lawmakers should reject...

Modalism views God as a being that has three different forms-sometimes in the "form" the "Father", sometimes "Son", sometime "Holy Spirit", BUT NEVER ALL THREE AT THE SAME TIME. ...Modalists ...admit that the "role/mode" of the "Son" did not exist before the incarnation and it will cease at the second coming as per 1 Cor. 15:23-28...God took the role of Father in the OT, the Son during Jesus life on earth, and the Holy Spirit during the "church age". ...they view the Holy Spirit is just the power of God rather than God himself. They view God as one...

As I have noted repeatedly, liberalism and leftism have virtually nothing in common. In fact, leftism is the enemy of liberalism — as a handful of liberals such as former New York Times writer Bari Weiss, former Young Turk Dave Rubin, and others have come to recognize. The left has never believed in free speech and has suppressed dissent wherever it has assumed power. Free speech is a pillar of liberalism, and it has always embraced dissent. The left rejects the anti-racist ideal of color-blindness. Colorblind is the liberal racial ideal. The left supports racial segregation — such as all-black...

It took a court order and a long period of foot-dragging but we now have more evidence that our government is persecuting many innocent political prisoners. For a very long time, based on a few short snippets of random videos that people outside and inside of the Capitol shot on January 6, conservatives have been arguing that significant numbers of the people who entered the Capitol that day did so because the Capitol Police let them in. Their presence there wasn’t an insurrection or even an unauthorized trespass—they had a right to be there once the “guardians” of the Capitol...
