China, the world's largest crude importer, was non-committal about whether it will release oil from its reserves as requested by Washington, while OPEC sources said the U.S. action has not made the producer group change course. On Tuesday, U.S. President Joe Biden's administration announced plans to release millions of barrels of oil from strategic reserves in coordination with other large consuming nations, including China, India and Japan, to try to cool prices. Report ad The United States has made the largest commitment for a reserves release at 50 million barrels of pre-approved sales along with loans to the market, but...

Vice President of the Lower Austrian Medical Association Gerrit Loibl has suggested that the government should levy a monthly fine of up to €100 to anyone unvaccinated. Loibl has suggested that those who have not been vaccinated should pay between €90 and €100 (£78-£84/$90-$113) per month to the government, claiming that the amount is based on the current tax on tobacco products.

VIDEOIt's NOT an option. You MUST brine your turkey. If you don't do it you are a committing a culinary crime. The good news is that it is EASY to dry brine (as opposed to wet brining) the turkey as you can see in this video. In addition, the flavor provided by the brine makes it unnecessary to add a rub in the turkey before cooking. Please remember to LEAVE the brine on when cooking the turkey. Do NOT remove the brine. Oh, and finally, you are a MONSTER if you don't brine your turkey.Have a happy Thanksgiving!

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is sponsoring a bill to grant Kyle Rittenhouse the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest honor the legislative branch can bestow. The Georgia Republican introduced the bill Tuesday following Rittenhouse's acquittal of all charges in the killing of two men during riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year. The bill's summary says the legislation will "award a Congressional Gold Medal to Kyle H. Rittenhouse, who protected the community of Kenosha, Wisconsin, during a Black Lives Matter (BLM) riot on August 25, 2020."

Tardy ping - special Thanksgiving show in the War Room!

My dear friends, one can only be truly thankful to Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS; anything outside of that is absolute demonic folly. In light of our nation's unthankfulness to Almighty God, godlessness, abounding moral relativistic thinking, and secularism; there is still a remnant (Isa. 1:4-9) throughout this nation today that still chooses to follow Almighty God and know His Son as their personal Savior as the Holy Scriptures so clearly teaches (John 1:12). This remnant is truly thankful daily for all that Almighty God has provided for them (in time and in ETERNITY) and they are found throughout all the...

WASHINGTON, Sunday, Nov. 24. The Message of JEFF. DAVIS meets with universal execration among members of the Administration, for its audacious falsehoods. It is regarded as a weak and hopeless effort to face down the indispensable doom of this rebellion. The total silence as to the Union demonstrations in East Tennessee is ominous. The comments of DAVIS upon the invasion of Beaufort are understood by the Administration to signify the adoption by the Confederate government of the black flag proposition of South Carolina. The war will, upon that instant, become a war of extermination; and upon the first act of...

One of the most impossible acts for an unregenerate individual to do is to thank Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS and since the majority of humanity rejects Almighty God's RIGHTEOUSNESS, how many billions of individuals are truly thankful to their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS CREATOR for His mercy and goodness to each one of us (Psalm 14, Rom.1:18-32; 10:2-4; 1 John 4:10)? Are you truly thankful in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God? It's easy to "praise" Almighty God and thank Him when everything seems to be going "our" way (Prov.14:.12). Apart from a saving relationship to Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS (John 3:16-17; 1...

A Song of Thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father! Count it ALL Joy! (Lyric Video)

Governor Bradford of Massachusetts made this first Thanksgiving Proclamation three years after the Pilgrims settled at Plymouth: "Inasmuch as the great Father has given us this year an abundant harvest of Indian corn, wheat, peas, beans, squashes, and garden vegetables, and has made the forests to abound with game and the sea with fish and clams, and inasmuch as He has protected us from the ravages of the savages, has spared us from pestilence and disease, has granted us freedom to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience. In everything give thanks; for this is the will...

Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me to "recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:" Now, therefore, I do...

The trans Old Dominion professor who defended pedophiles by saying society should refer to them as 'Minor Attracted Persons' has finally resigned after 15,000 people signed an online petition to have them removed from their teaching role. Dr. Allyn Walker, 34, who goes by the pronouns they/them, was placed on leave by Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, last week after a swell of outrage over their remarks and views.

During Wednesday’s “Newsroom” on CNN, political commentator Bill Kristol argued that people should realize there was no Thanksgiving last year given the COVID pandemic before they complained about inflation causing soaring food prices this year.

Kyle Rittenhouse’s conduct on August 25, 2020, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was “textbook perfect,” Jonathan Gilliam, retired Navy SEAL, former FBI agent, and author of Sheep No More: The Art of Awareness and Attack Survival, said. Gilliam stated, “When he had his weapon and he was confronted by these imminent threats of loss of life or serious bodily injury, he engaged in a proper manner to eliminate the threat. You didn’t see him out there hammering people down, mowing people down. It’s when the threat got too close and it posed an imminent threat … he took action.” Rittenhouse was not...

Thanksgiving provides us with a time to reflect on our many blessings — from God, this Nation, and each other. We are grateful for these blessings, even — and especially — during times of challenge. That is why George Washington declared a day of Thanksgiving for his troops as they marched into that dark winter at Valley Forge. It is why in the midst of the Civil War — in proclaiming the Thanksgiving holiday we now celebrate today — Abraham Lincoln urged us to remember our “fruitful fields and healthful skies.” Just as 400 years ago when the Pilgrims were...
