Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told reporters Friday that the nation's definition of "fully vaccinated" could change as the nation continues to increase the eligibility of COVID-19 booster shots. The information was shared during a virtual White House COVID-19 Response Team briefing that included Walensky answering questions from reporters. "We have not yet changed the definition of 'fully vaccinated.' We will continue to look at this. We may need to update our definition of 'fully vaccinated' in the future," the CDC director said. "But, right now, what I would say is: If you're eligible for...

If there is one thing that seems spiritually certain it is that the Church will always be divided. Our factions and differences and divisions seem as fixed as the rising of the sun. Yet the Bible speaks of a day when we will all come together in the unity of the faith. How can this possibly be true? To be clear, when I speak of “the Church” I’m not speaking of all who profess to be followers of Jesus. I’m speaking of those who are genuine believers, those whom God considers to be His sons and daughters, those who have...

Freelance journalist Louis Amestoy, who was at the event, told The Associated Press that about 3,500 motorsports fans attended the event, which bills itself as “an action packed, family-friendly day of all-out No Prep Drag Racing.” Winning prizes at the event were as high as $8,000, according to the Kerrville visitor’s bureau. Two boys, ages 6 and 8, died at a popular afternoon event called “Airport Race Wars 2” that attracted thousands to the Kerrville-Kerr County airport, the Kerrville Police Department said in a statement Saturday night. The racecourse was an eighth of a mile long and lined with water-filled...

It’s astonishing that this must even be said. We are deeply immersed in a monumental battle of good versus evil. God warns people about evil. It is real, He says. It is not just a difference of opinion. It is the opposite of good. It is harmful, destructive and merciless. But people are naïve. They prefer to believe people are basically good. Because of that erroneous assumption, they refuse to see evil intent. SNIP In the 20th century, dictatorial socialist-communist countries murdered 100 million people. Not enemies in war. Their own people, their own citizens. And the world largely looked...

From someone who's in a position to know, things are about to get really crazy. Through many years of contacts and acquaintances, Walter Russell Mead has become a quintessential insider to the political establishment. As such, he's privy to the thinking of many people in Washington, including those in the Biden administration. In a Wall Street Journal piece, Mead lays out the Joe Biden strategy on climate issues. And when I say "Biden," of course I don't mean Joe Biden the man. Unless otherwise specified, I use Biden as an alias for those who installed Biden the man in office...

First In-N-Out Burger, now Chick-fil-A. Are restaurants leading the fight against COVID tyranny? It would seem that a grassroots, grass-fed, Animal-Style resistance to tyranny has begun in America — and it just may end up being the special of the day. They — whoever "they" are — have rightly said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and maybe, instead of leading to heart disease, a little red (and white) meat might just be the thing necessary to strengthen the hearts of men and to lead them in the fight ahead. America's resistance to tyranny has,...

The tech tyrant attacked the song for alleged medical misinformation and the uproar boosted the song into the stratosphere. Bryson Gray, a rapper and Trump supporter, recorded a rap song called “Let’s Go Brandon” (not to be confused with Loza Alexander’s hip-hop chart-topping “Let’s Go Brandon” song). Gray’s song was doing well on the charts so, two days ago, YouTube figured out a way to remove it. It claimed that the song contains medical misinformation. Aside from being untrue, YouTube managed to take the song from being well-ish-known and turned it into a massive hit. Talk about a censorship fail....

Author’s Note: Interested readers can find all previous volumes of this series here. News Flash: The first 56 volumes are compiled into a book titled “Bible Study For Those Who Don’t Read The Bible.” More details at the end. Now back to our regular programming. Thanks for joining our Bible study today. Most readers have attended or participated in baptism — the ceremonial sacrament of faith in the name of Jesus Christ. Then, there’s the precious infant often wearing a frilly white gown passed down a generation or two — usually crying after being sprinkled with water. The adoring family...

“For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the Law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death” (Romans 7:5). Four key terms characterize those who are not in Christ. In our fallen, cursed world, disasters are commonplace. Fires, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters happen somewhere every day. Added to those natural disasters are the man-made ones, such as war, acts of terrorism, plane crashes, train wrecks, etc. But far greater than any of those disasters, and the one from which they all...

A month ago, my brand-new bestseller, "The Great Patriot Protest & Boycott Book," came out. A month seems like a lifetime ago. What happened over this past month validates the strategy I laid out. It changes everything. My book lays out the case that America and American exceptionalism are under vicious attack. We are facing a radical communist takeover of the United States. I believe we must respond with the tactics and strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. -- with strikes, boycotts, protests, intimidation and CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE. The great news is the pilots of Southwest Airlines have put these tactics...

Former Arizona Attorney General Grant Woods (D) died unexpectedly Saturday afternoon at the age of 67, multiple news outlets reported. “Grant was the love of my life. My best friend. My heart is broken," his wife, Marlene Galan Woods, said in a statement, according to ABC 15. "I just cannot believe he is gone. I can’t believe our time together is over. He was the best husband, the best father anyone could have wished for.” The details about cause of death were not made available. Woods was a well-known figure in Arizona politics. The late politician served as congressional chief...

Evil is a very strong word, when used properly. Merriam-Webster defines it many ways, the most relevant to what I’m talking about being “morally reprehensible” and “arising from actual or imputed bad character or conduct.” That is the modern left, the “progressive movement,” the “Democratic” Party. And to fight evil, to stop it, is the most important thing anyone can do. What justifies the use of “evil” as a descriptor? It’s a dangerous word to use, one that has been abused throughout history to demonize innocent people as well as condemn the guilty. But there is no other word for...

By now you may have heard of the left’s latest insistence that we drop the expression “pregnant women” in favor of “pregnant people.” By using this phrase, they wish to emphasize that it is not only women who can conceive and carry children. According to the woke, men can now also partake in the joys of pregnancy. This is surely a remarkable position to take by those who routinely mock the virgin birth of Jesus as narrated by the New Testament. Until these woke times such a thing has never happened in the history of mankind. And this for a...

I believe it was Gaylord Nelson, then governor of Wisconsin, who first recognized the right of public employees to collectively bargain, and it was another governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, who decades later under state law virtually eliminated it with wonderful results for teachers, local governments, and pupils. Our reforms in Wisconsin -- known as Act 10 -- changed that by all but eliminating collective bargaining for government employees. This puts the taxpayers and the officials they elect back in charge of their state and local governments, instead of unelected union bureaucrats. Our reforms in Wisconsin -- known as Act...

resident Biden tells many lies. I despair of listing all of them; nobody can. The Apostle John wrote of the words and deeds of Jesus, "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written." Same principle with Biden's infinite lies. Among Biden's lies are a lot of Walter Mitty, Paul Bunyan, Baron von Münchhausen tall tales about himself. I want to write here about four autobiographical lies that, despite previous public rebuttal, he keeps...
