Biden is accused of “treason” as well as “abuse of power.” “I have introduced House Res. 57, these are Articles of Impeachment on President Biden,” Rep. Greene said. “For abuse of power in regards to his willingness to use his position of power to aid his son Hunter Biden in his business dealings.” “I have also introduced another Article of Impeachment on President Biden, which is H. Res 597,” she continued. “This...

Nine years ago, you could have walked into a shop on the UK high street and bought a packet of cold medicine that contained the decongestant pseudoephedrine. This drug has been used for decades, and works well, but in 2008 it was placed under tight controls when it became apparent that pseudoephedrine was being used for the illegal production of methamphetamine. Similar laws were introduced in the US in 2005. Since then, pseudoephedrine has broadly been banished from shop shelves in the UK, the US and elsewhere. Today, you can only get products containing this compound either by obtaining a...

In his remarks about immigration, Trump pointed out that many Afghans who fled their country after the Taliban takeover shouldn’t be in the United States. He noted that: “97 percent of people that came in from Afghanistan rushed the planes and shouldn’t be here. Those people must be checked very carefully because many of them will turn out to be strongly-related to high-level terrorism.”

The White House on Tuesday warned leftist Democrats that they needed to support President Joe Biden’s reduced spending priorities or end up with nothing.The president continues reducing the price tag of his agenda and also the number of entitlements in his proposed “Build Back Better” bill, leading Congressional leftists to signal disappointment with Biden.

Are you looking for current events to identify the “biblical last days?” If so, you are reading your own presuppositions into the text. Theologians call that “eisegesis.” That’s an illegitimate methodology for biblical interpretation. Instead, we should be trying to glean the meaning intended by the biblical authors themselves―and the understanding of the original audience, i.e. “exegesis.” Let’s avoid newspaper-eschatology and go to the Bible to define the “last days” or “end times.” First, let’s consider an important passage from the Old Testament: Daniel 12. This chapter is about the “TIME OF THE END” (12:4, 6, 8, 9, 13). The...

Criminal charges have not been ruled out in a fatal accidental shooting by actor Alec Baldwin on the set of a western film, the local district attorney said on Tuesday. Santa Fe County District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies, in an interview with the New York Times also said it was incorrect to refer to the firearm used in the incident as a “prop gun,” as has been done in media reports.

A TWISTED cult leader facing murder charges over a human sacrifice ritual has been killed in a police car crash. Self-styled prophet His Excellency Dr Kevin O Smith died alongside a detective, while two other officers were seriously hurt. The 39-year-old, whose sinister influence over British churchgoers was exposed by The Sun last week, was in a police convoy, being taken to be charged with murder, when his car overturned.

A quiet Sunday (Oct 24) night at Paya Lebar Square turned rowdy after a group of men got themselves into a fight. The brawl at the open space outside the shopping mall was filmed by passers-by and shared on social media over the next two days. In a clip posted on Facebook on Tuesday (Oct 26), the men were throwing punches and kicks at each other or giving chase to those who were running away from the fight. A man was kicked in the buttocks and knocked to the ground. He attempted to flee but his assailant would not let...

The U.S. intelligence community believes terrorist groups operating inside Afghanistan may have the ability to attack the U.S. or other international targets within a year or less if left unchecked, senior defense officials told lawmakers on Tuesday. “We could see ISIS-K generate that capability in somewhere between six or 12 months,” Colin Kahl, the Defense Department’s undersecretary for policy, said in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee. “And for al-Qaeda, it would take a year or two to reconstitute that capability.” The remarks underscored widespread concerns that the central goal of the 2001 U.S. invasion—to root out and dismantle...

Mort Sahl, who confronted Eisenhower-era cultural complacency with acid stage monologues, delivering biting social commentary in the guise of a stand-up comedian and thus changing the nature of both stand-up comedy and social commentary, died on Tuesday at his home in Mill Valley, Calif., near San Francisco. He was 94. The death was confirmed by Lucy Mercer, a friend helping oversee his affairs. Gregarious and contentious — he was once described as “a very likable guy who makes ex-friends easily” — Mr. Sahl had a long, up-and-down career. He faded out of popularity in the mid-1960s, when he devoted his...

BREAKING: Kyle Rittenhouse prosector says the mob member didn’t attack anyone else and all he did before was ‘arson’

Explanation: Observe the graceful twirl of our Solar System's largest planet. Many interesting features of Jupiter's enigmatic atmosphere, including dark belts and light zones, can be followed in detail. A careful inspection will reveal that different cloud layers rotate at slightly different speeds. The famous Great Red Spot is not visible at first -- but soon rotates into view. Other smaller storm systems occasionally appear. As large as Jupiter is, it rotates in only 10 hours. Our small Earth, by comparison, takes 24 hours to complete a spin cycle. The featured high-resolution time-lapse video was captured over five nights earlier...

He hardly qualifies as a member of the Great Resignation movement, but Martin Barnes will be retiring as chief economist at BCA Research at the end of the month. After nearly a half-century toiling in the dismal science, including the past 34 at BCA, he marvels at others who are years and even decades his senior, and, “with more money than God,” still eagerly keep at it. Before Barnes heads home to Scotland to be closer to his children and grandchildren, we sought his perspective on the current investing scene, a perspective gleaned by living history, rather than reading about...

The widespread attack came shortly before the second anniversary of the November 2019 nationwide protests against an overnight petrol price rise. At the time, petrol prices as much as tripled, sparking the protests that Amnesty International has said led to the deaths of more than 300 people. Internet access was also shut down across the country for almost a week during the protests. Some areas where protests were still continuing experienced weeks of internet disruptions. Social media videos early on Tuesday showed long queues at petrol stations that were out of commission. Several also showed that digital city monitors were...

Police in central China were hunting Tuesday for a man who killed seven people, including a village Communist Party chief, before jumping off a bridge, officers said. The suspect, surnamed Gao, stabbed to death a family of five, including two children, in Wuhan on Sunday, the city's police force said in a statement on its official Weibo microblog. The suspect fatally wounded a passerby and a cab driver while trying to steal a car to escape, it added, saying he then jumped off a bridge over the Yangtze River early Monday morning. China does not allow civilians to carry guns,...

Letter to Physicians: Have You Checked Your 1947 Nuremberg Code Today? Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of the Medical Profession: I’m old enough to remember when physicians were held in regard like deacons. Medicine was understood to be “not just a profession but a calling” (as the cliché ran). It was not uncommon to see a car parked haphazardly with a “Physician on Call” sign on the dashboard, and no one gave it a second thought, such was the regard for medical doctors. Watch re-runs of MASH for fine illustration of how this “calling” was once understood to act as a...

Rep. Massie: I was hoping today to give you an opportunity to put to rest the concerns that people have that there were federal agents or assets of the federal government present on January 5 and January 6. Can you tell us, without talking about particular incidents or particular videos, how many agents or assets of the federal government were present on January 6, whether they agitated to go into the Capitol, and if any of them did? AG Garland: So I’m not going to violate this norm of, uh, of, of, of, the rule of law. [Looks down and...
