If ever there was a time when our homes and families were under attack by the powers of Satan, it is in the day and time in which we live.Of course, I don’t believe in looking for a demon under every rock. And I don’t think that we should be unbalanced when we talk about spiritual warfare. But the truth is, as Apostle Paul said, “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, and spiritual rulers of darkness” (Ephesians 6:12) in this world.Yet, many people, even those within the church, don’t acknowledge the existence of Satan...

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Cleveland Guardians roller derby team sued the city’s Major League Baseball club Wednesday in a legal fight over its name and trademark.

Sen. Bernie Sanders is an ignorant socialist. Let’s get that out of the way.When he’s not insulting the constitution, he’s angry that his multi-trillion-dollar boondoggle is stalled, recently claiming, “Poll after poll shows overwhelming support for the $3.5 trillion Build Back Better legislation – and the need to lower prescription drug costs, expand Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision, greatly improve home health care, make child care and housing affordable, establish Paid Family and Medical Leave and address the existential threat of climate change.”But in the next paragraph of his manifesto, Sanders gives away the game, noting, “Yet, polling...

An Astros fan hoisted a sign calling the Atlanta Braves “Tomahawk Chop” “racist” during Game 1 of the World Series as the Houston Astros faced the Braves on Tuesday. The Braves have faced wide criticism for its name and use of native American imagery. It has taken particular fire for fans’ use of the Chop war cry chant during games at the Braves’ Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia.

Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe once again broke his own cardinal rule of politics – no dancing – and he is already paying the price on social media. The candidate for governor, who was on stage with President Joe Biden, was the only dignitary who broke out in dance as speakers boomed out 'Drive,' by Ben Rector at an outdoor campaign rally in Arlington. A clip of his bopping, arm-waving moves went viral Tuesday night.

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have canceled the traditional Halloween party at the White House, citing their travel plans to Europe for the reason. “The president and first lady will be traveling internationally during the last days of October and will not be hosting a specific event at the White House,” Michael LaRosa, the press secretary for First Lady Jill Biden announced in a statement.

The mainstream media began lying about the results as soon as the Maricopa County election audit was released. Several media outlets falsely claimed that the audit “confirmed Biden won.” The report did no such thing. This claim focused on the results of the hand-recount part of the audit and either ignored or dismissed the findings of the actual forensic audit. However, earlier this month, Maricopa County officials issued a rebuttal to the forensic audit’s findings, offering what they believed to be reasonable explanations for the issues cited in the audit report.The audit team, led by the Sarasota, Florida-based Cyber Ninjas,...

Huma Abedin writes in her forthcoming book that a U.S. senator sexually assaulted her in her 20s, kissing her unprompted and forcing his tongue in her mouth as the two conversed in his apartment. The longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, now 45, detailed the incident in her memoir Both/And: A Life in Many Words, set to be published next week, according to an excerpt obtained by the Guardian. Abedin withheld details of the senator’s identity, including his party affiliation, whether he is still in Congress, and which state he represented.

The federal government collected a record $4,045,979,000,000 in taxes in fiscal 2021. In FY 2017 the Federal government collected $3.3 Trillion. This means that after Trump and the Republicans passed the tax rate cuts that went into effect in 2018, revenues up over $700 billion per year after 3 years. So why do most journalists and other Democrats keep claiming that Trump’s tax cuts cost the government trillions of dollars? They intentionally mislead the public because that is clearly false. Why do they continue to use the CBO’s predictions instead of actual numbers? T0he tax cuts that cost the government...

Have you got 2 minutes to spare watching a teenage climate scold get her comeuppance? A commentator on Sky News Australia ripped the hypocrisy behind the children's crusade demanding extreme measures to solve a problem that for thirty years or so has been about to end humanity in ten years. Those with no adult responsibilities for the consequences of their actions feel free to make demands they wouldn't want to live with, if ever implemented. Patrick Moore, one of the founders of Greenpeace who retains a skeptical mind, tweeted out a two-minute segment in which those kids are instructed on...

As many of you know, I have long been an advocate for those abused at Independent Fundamentalist Baptist (IFB) teen group homes (re-education camps). These homes, some of which are still in existence, routinely used violence to force teenagers into “Biblical” submission. Some of the residents were sexually violated. Where was the state, you ask? Sitting on the sidelines, often ignoring the cries of those beaten, abused, sexually molested, and raped. One such home was the New Bethany Home for Girls, owned and operated by IFB preacher Mack Ford. Ford, who died February 11, 2015, was a protégé of famed...

Coal was supposed to be headed to the dust bin of history as the world increasingly embraces renewable energy. After all, many countries were shutting down these sooty, air-choking power plants. Mines closed, coal companies went bankrupt, and utilities started to replace coal-fired electricity generation with natural gas or wind and solar energy. But it turns out that weaning the world off fossil fuels, particularly the dirtiest fuel of them all, isn’t going to be easy or quick, as coal’s price and demand have been revived this year. Transitions take time. “From our point of view, the energy transition was...

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) holds an 11-point lead over Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli in next week’s gubernatorial race in a new Monmouth University poll released Wednesday. Murphy enjoys the support of 50 percent of registered voters who were surveyed, compared with 39 percent for Ciattarelli, a former state lawmaker. The margin marks a slight decrease from the same poll in August and September, which showed Ciattarelli with leads of 16 points and 13 points, respectively. Still, the poll showing a double-digit margin is likely to ease Democrats' concerns after another poll released last week showed Murphy ahead by...

Al Gore's investment management firm will launch a new climate-focused asset fund ahead of COP26, the global climate conference that begins next week. The new fund is backed by a household-name group of investors. Those include Microsoft's Climate Innovation Fund, the IMAS Foundation—a foundation tied to the parent foundation that controls IKEA—Harvard Management Company, which invests Harvard's endowment, an impact investing subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, Hall Capital Partners, and the investment fund of the Republic of Ireland. The group behind the fund said it would invest in "catalytic" climate solutions in energy, transport and industry, as well as "natural" climate...

Have you heard these stories? (Warning: This is not an easy thread to read) Crying face The purpose of this thread is not to say “get the Syringe” or “don’t get it”. That’s (hopefully) your choice. The purpose is to help spread awareness of these victim’s stories. Many testimonial vids like these are being scrubbed from social media. You will hear them say this. Like this video states, don’t be one of the “this is fake” or “this is rare” people. If you have proof anything is fake, prove it, and I will delete the video. This is also not...

A baked beans fan says he may never be able to eat his favorite food again – after he found an “eye” in his can. Martin Ford, 54, opened up the Branston Baked Beans for his dinner after a busy day working on a construction site. He had bought the tin just seven days previously as part of a multipack of four from his local Tesco in Plymouth, Devon, United Kingdom. But the laborer was a sight for sore eyes after he fished out what looked like a pupil from the bowl just moments after he had heated it up....

As part of his effort to bring awareness to the vast network of Chinese slave labor camps, Enes Kanter has again addressed Nike Owner Phil Knight asking him to stop using Chinese slave labor to make Nike’s products. In a Tuesday tweet, Kanter wrote, “How about I book plane tickets for us and let’s fly to China together. We can try to visit these SLAVE labor camps, and you can see it with your own eyes.” He also invited LeBron James and Michael Jordan along on the trip.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland is believed to be the first city in the country to offer bereavement leave for pregnancy loss to city employees. City Commissioner Mingus Mapps touted the new policy in a Tuesday interview with KATU News. "Policies like this are exceptionally rare in the United States," said Mapps. "In fact, Portland may be unique in the nation for providing leave to people who are mourning the loss of an unborn child." The policy covers situations like abortion, stillbirths and miscarriages. While the intent is to help employees cope with loss, Mapps sees other benefits. "We also wanted...

As more Americans receive protection from natural immunity after Covid-19 infection, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has withheld the total number of infections from the public, even though it is undeniably information that belongs to the public. For months, the CDC updated its website with information including estimates of Covid-19 infected people in the U.S. However, prior to the Delta variant of Covid-19 spreading widely, the CDC abruptly stopped updating that information. The last published update as of the time of this publication was May 29, almost five months ago. At that time, CDC estimated 120.2 million people in...
