As you’ve likely heard by now, there are a number of challenges to resident Biden’s vaccine mandates working their way through the courts at the moment. Because these challenges are coming up through disparate court circuits, one of them had to be chosen to consolidate the various challenges together and hear them as a group. Using an odd but traditional process to make the selection, the 6th Circuit Court wound up being given the honor of deciding the matter. (At least for now.) And how did they make that decision? By literally pulling a ping pong ball out of a...

The unmarked security vehicles parked outside the Kroger signaled trouble. So, too, did the police tape blocking the store’s entrance at Metropolitan Parkway SW and Cleveland Avenue SW several days ago. A small sign taped to an overturned shopping cart flapped in the wind telling shoppers the power was out. Thieves had stolen critical electric wiring. A much larger sign said “Temporarily Closed” and identified two other store locations for shoppers in the area, neither of which was easily accessible without some form of transportation.

More than 500 people were hospitalized after powerful thunderstorms drove scorpions from their burrows and into residential houses in the city of Aswan. Severe thunderstorms that rolled across southern Egypt this past Friday unleashed flooding, strong winds, hail and hordes of venomous scorpions. The storms caused damage across the region primarily due to flooding, but the most notable impact came when the pouring rain drove the poisonous scorpions out of their burrows and into homes. According to reports, the scorpions went on a stinging spree, which resulted in more than 500 people being sent to hospitals for treatment. Local news...

Wayne County Sheriff Allyn Walker, a trans assistant professor at Old Dominion University (ODU) and author of the book A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity, was put on administrative leave by the college he/she/they/zhim-zhim works for on Tuesday.The book tries to normalize pedophilia. Apparently, that didn’t go over well with some folks. Old Dominion issued a statement:Reactions to Dr. Walker’s research and book have led to concerns for their safety and that of the campus. Furthermore, the controversy over Dr. Walker’s research has disrupted the campus and community environment and is interfering with the institution’s...

If your troops won’t follow, can you really be considered a leader? It’s a question the Republicans need to start asking themselves now that the polls are showing a GOP takeover of the U.S House of Representatives after the next election is highly likely. The man thought most likely to be the next Speaker is California’s Kevin McCarthy, currently the House Minority Leader. He could have had the job once before, when former House Speaker John Boehner stepped down but, for reasons that are still not exactly clear, Mr. McCarthy eventually decided not to pursue it. With a new GOP...

Is a high-profile confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill on the horizon? On Tuesday night, Fox News’ Jesse Watters reported that Fox News congressional correspondent Chad Pergram “has been hearing whispers suggesting there could be some new, high-profile confirmation hearings on the horizon in the House of Representatives.” “Why is this a big deal? Because the House does not confirm normal nominees, but it does confirm vice presidential nominees. Does this have something to do with Kamala Harris?” Watters pondered. Recent reports have suggested there’s a lot of tension and dysfunction behind the scenes in the White House. Kamala Harris isn’t...

The downtown Los Angeles Staples Center is getting a new name, stakeholders announced late Tuesday.

Down in South Texas, strange things keep happening. I mean strange if you are a Democrat and grew up believing that your party had a lock on the vote.On the day that former representative Beto O'Rouke announced his candidacy for governor, a Democrat switched parties down on the border. This is from The Texas Tribune:Longtime Democratic state Rep. Ryan Guillen of Rio Grande City is switching parties as Republicans press to make new inroads in South Texas and after redistricting made his district much more favorable to the GOP.Guillen made the announcement Monday morning at a news conference here where...

Beloved, indeed, the GREAT DAY of the LORD is very nigh unto us as a world and as we today live in our EXPONENTIAL godless and lawless day, we must see and possess the Divine ETERNAL REALITIES in ALL things, and apply them all by faith in this very temporal and perishing world for Almighty God's glory (John 1:12; 3:16-17; 10:25-30, Rom. 8:26-39, Eph. 3:20-21, Col. 3:1-4, Heb. 9:27; 11:6; 1 John 3:1-3, Rev. 3:8)! This ETERNALLY dying world crucially and absolutely needs to behold the risen Savior of the world. In our sincere ETERNAL concern for their lost souls...

KENOSHA, WI—In order to protect their lives and homes, Kenosha residents are painting "Black Lives Matter" over their doorposts just in case local Antifa communist rioters don't like the Rittenhouse verdict and decide to burn the city down again. "We hope this small gesture of fealty to the Antifa enforcers will keep us safe," said Dale Cheesehead, local husband and father of 4. "Perhaps they will see the graffiti on my doorposts and spare my firstborn son, as well as my three other kids, my wife, my dog, my cars and my house. Please don't burn down our house Antifa!"...

The Claim While making his closing statement, Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger produced the weapon that Rittenhouse used during the shooting incident on August 25, 2020. Binger then raised and pointed the weapon in the courtroom. The moment was captured by the court's cameras and multiple photographers in the room. The video and images of the episode have since been widely shared online, accompanied by questions around Binger's handling of the firearm—including his appearing to put his finger on the trigger—and claims that he aimed the rifle at the jury..... While it is accurate to say that the prosecutor raises...

does anyone else remember when he said "ordinary men and women must surrender their rights to an all powerful sovereignty"?

The Mass of Paul VI “Well Celebrated”—a Myth! (Guest Article by Cyril Farret d’Astiès) Rorate Caeli is pleased to offer a translation of Paix Liturgique newsletter 833 of November 15, 2021, with permission of the editor Christian Marquant.

Like travel agents preparing customers for a cruise, nonprofits working with the Biden administration have created detailed itineraries and information packets to help illegal aliens travel to wherever they want to go in the U.S., according to documents obtained by a Texas congressman. Often courtesy of American taxpayers struggling to pay their bills during surging inflation, illegals are given free quality hotel rooms, plane tickets and transportation to the airport, travel maps, and instructions to TSA to bypass photo ID requirements, according to the documents shared with Just the News. The prototype packet, which was provided by a whistleblower to...

Links will be provided as they become available. We ended the night previous with a thread claiming that a verdict had been reached. It had no way to be verified so the thread was deleted. Two jurors are reported to be frightened by the prospects of the mob attacking them and their family. Will the judge step in? Will this be a full day? or will it be quickly resolved? Stay tuned!

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace grilled former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on why he chose to leave Fox News off a list of several people, events and phenomenons he alleges in a new book has destroyed the Republican party. "The book is about conspiracy and lies and you really don’t take on Fox News, why not?" Wallace asked Christie as he appeared on her weekday program "Deadline Whitehouse" on Tuesday. "Have you seen The Tucker Carlson program? "No, I don't watch it," Christie said of Carlson's primetime show, the top-rated cable new program in the country featuring segments that...

Last year, Forbes published a headline, “Americans rank a Google internship over a Harvard degree.” It seems higher education is quickly losing hold of its value proposition as the best way to prepare for a job or advance in one’s career. And that’s not because of a lack of new advancements or insights. Especially in the world of statistics and data science—both of which are among the fastest-growing occupations—there has been tremendous improvement in understanding how we should best analyze data. As a PhD student in organizational psychology, I’m exposed to and have been taught a wide variety of advanced...

A “significant storm” and “strong cold front” could hit the US Northeast and Midwest next week — potentially wreaking havoc on Thanksgiving travel plans, forecasters warn. The large-scale weather pattern is expected to start over the weekend and extend into early next week, according to the National Weather Service’s prediction center. The full extent and path of the storm hasn’t yet been nailed down, but forecasters are — at the very least — predicting a drop in temperatures and strong winds for Monday and Tuesday.
