Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. Exodus 20:5 KJV The legacy and shame of sexual sin has been passed down through my family, as is true in millions of others. I’m sure if the numbers of those affected were truly known, it would shock the world. This is the underbelly of a darkness that affects us to our core. And that which is left unexamined,...

Like all rational Americans, I was happy with the results of the Virginia gubernatorial election this past Tuesday. However, I’m not optimistic, one reason being that a photo-finish victory against a sleazy establishment bagman in a state that a decade ago was reliably red is an indication that we dodged a bullet rather than pulled ahead of the pack. Youngkin’s surprise comeback can be attributed solely to the freak occurrence of the issue of critical race theory arising at just the right time in just the right place to swing just enough votes his way. A month, or a county,...

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm (D) said Sunday that President Biden is considering tapping into the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve amid rising crude oil prices. During an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Granholm told host Dana Bash that Biden is looking at every tool at his disposal to address high gas prices in the U.S. Granholm noted that Biden had already asked the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to increase supply, but it declined.

And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines. And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife. Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she...

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Vote-counting in the contest for an open seat on Pennsylvania's statewide Commonwealth Court narrowed the race to a virtual dead heat. That's as some counties continued Friday to tabulate remaining mail-in, overseas and provisional ballots. Two seats on the court are opening up next year. Republican Stacy Wallace, a lawyer, won one of them in Tuesday's election. But the latest unofficial count on the state's online election site showed Democrat Lori Dumas and Republican Drew Crompton in practically tied. That puts the contest well within the margin under state law for a mandatory recount.

Joe Biden delivered remarks on the higher consumer prices Americans are experiencing recently. The dude is out of his mind. And the fake news media hacks are the only ones in America who haven’t noticed it yet. “Why is the price of agricultural products, when I go to the store, why is it higher? What, like for example. if I had, if we were all going out and having lunch together and I said let’s ask whoever’s at the next table no matter how, whatever restaurant we’re in, have them explain the supply chain to us. You think they’d understand...

America's borders reopen today to thousands of international travelers from the UK, Europe, Mexico, and Canada for the first time since March 2020, when former President Donald Trump slammed the country's ports closed at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Until now, the only people who have been able to enter the US from those countries are American citizens, green-card holders or those who obtained national interest exemptions from the ban. Starting Monday, travelers can visit the US again from anywhere so long as they prove they are fully vaccinated and have a negative COVID-19 test.

Since Friday evening, 45 people were shot in the city of Chicago. So far, eight of those shot have been reported dead. The shootings follow a crime wave in Chicago and Democratic cities across the country. Shootings are up 220% in Chicago compared to last year, according to the Chicago Sun Times. The city is on pace to have its worst violent crime wave in 25 years. The murder rate is set to increase yet again this year following a 30 percent increase in 2020. Efforts to defund the police continue to intensify despite the nationwide uptick in violent crime....

Seattle Parks and Recreation promoted and cohosted an event at Discovery Park that’s open to all — except white people. Yet again, the city is embracing a segregationist culture in the name of inclusion. The “interactive beach walk” at Discovery Park coincides with Seattle Forest Week. The event was in partnership with Sea Potential, an environmental nonprofit that seeks to connect area-youth of color with maritime through “healing activities and ocean justice conversations.” Though the City of Seattle prohibits discrimination, this event was only “open to anyone who identifies as BIPOC.” It’s not the first time Seattle Parks has greenlit...

President Biden ran on a “Build Back Better” agenda in his 2020 campaign, which included infrastructure and economic reforms. Hidden in Democrats $1.6 Trillion spending package to advance his agenda is a plan to give amnesty to 8 million illegal immigrants. Some sources, such as the Heritage Foundation, put the number even higher, at 11 to 22 million. Democratic politicians have said that amnesty and Biden’s infrastructure bill are “inextricably linked”, and will refuse to consider one without the other in the bill. “We have to have total agreement on both before we move either” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck...

President Joe Biden still has not signed his $1.2 trillion dollar infrastructure bill, citing his desire to wait until Republicans can join him for the signing ceremony. The more than 1,200-page bill was passed in the House Friday night. The president told reporters Friday night he would sign the bill “soon” but said he wanted to time it right so more members of Congress could join him for the signing ceremony. “I’m not doing it this weekend because I want people who worked so hard to get this done — Democrats and Republicans — to be here when we sign...

The Biden vaccine mandate appears to be falling apart before it’s even in place. From first responders to truck drivers to everyone in-between, the message is clear: many thousands are willing to be fired from their jobs rather than be forced to take a medical procedure they do not want. They have leverage and they are using it. We should support them. Grocery shelves are bare, shipping containers continue to float offshore, firehouses in New York are shut down, the Los Angeles County Sheriff warns that, in the middle of a crime wave, half of his deputies may quit or...

The racket began around 3:30 a.m. on a recent Thursday, as two thieves rummaged through the basement of a three-unit Victorian in San Francisco’s Castro district. Startled by the noise, a dog in the house barked frantically. One of the residents, Mauricio, scrambled out of bed and grabbed a baseball bat. He heard a clunk. By the time the man got to the shared basement, Mauricio told The Chronicle, the burglars had stolen his bicycle and his neighbor’s e-bike. Mauricio, who asked to be identified only by his first name because he fears retaliation, called the police. Within hours they...

Global COVID-19 cases exceeded the grim milestone of 250 million on Monday, according to Reuters, a sign that infections are still on the rise worldwide even as a number of countries begin to scale back restrictions. While cases are still increasing globally, the rate at which they are being reported has slowed. According to a Reuters analysis, the average number of daily cases has dropped by 36 percent over the course of the past three months. More than 50 million people, however, are still being infected with the virus every 90 days, according to the news service's analysis, which is...

A rolling gun battle between two cars on the jammed packed I-880 freeway in Oakland Saturday afternoon left an innocent toddler dead after he was struck by a stray bullet while riding in a third, uninvolved passing vehicle, according to the California Highway Patrol.

With Afghanistan facing a humanitarian crisis this winter in the wake of the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from the country, Taliban officials are warning — or threatening — that unless Western governments and financial institutions release frozen foreign reserves and aid funds, the West could be flooded with a tide of Afghan migrants. Roughly $430 million is being held at the German Commerzbank and $94 million in the Bundesbank, Germany's central bank. Another $660 million is being held by the Bank for International Settlements, a conglomerate of worldwide central banks located in Switzerland. The bulk of the contested funds, roughly $9.5...
