Pray For The Peace of JerusalemMatthew 6Prayer 5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard...

COCONUT ISLAND, Hawaii (AP) — On a moonless summer night in Hawaii, krill, fish and crabs swirl through a beam of light as two researchers peer into the water above a vibrant reef. Minutes later, like clockwork, they see eggs and sperm from spawning coral drifting past their boat. They scoop up the fishy-smelling blobs and put them in test tubes. In this Darwinian experiment, the scientists are trying to speed up coral’s evolutionary clock to breed “super corals” that can better withstand the impacts of global warming. For the past five years, the researchers have been conducting experiments to...

Kyle Rittenhouse said he wants a showdown with President Biden to put him right for branding him a “white supremacist.” The 18-year-old cleared Kenosha gunman was asked by conservative commentator Glenn Beck in a nearly hour-long interview if the commander-in-chief had ever called him “to apologize.” “He hasn’t,” Rittenhouse told Beck in his show on The Blaze. “I would like to sit down with the president and have a conversation with him and tell him the facts of what happened,” insisted the teen.

A shooting on a beach in Mexico might have tourists rethinking their vacation plans. Multiple attackers rolled up to Playa Langosta in Cancun's hotel zone on jet skis and began opening fire on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press. Nobody was injured, but tourists were rattled by the incident. Zayne Jones of Utah said his wife and kids were at the hotel's pool on the beach at the time. “I ran to the balcony to tell them to get down and get to a corridor and get cover," Jones told KUTV-TV in Salt Lake City. "Luckily nobody got hurt, but...

The first time Victoria White visited the nation’s capital was on January 6, 2021. Listening to President Trump’s speech—with her teen daughter and three friends alongside her—would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, White thought. Instead, the day turned into a personal nightmare with real-time flashbacks to her years as a victim of domestic abuse. White, a mother of four, recounted to me this week by phone in horrifying and heartbreaking detail how at least two D.C. Metropolitan police officers viciously assaulted her inside a tunnel on the lower west terrace of the Capitol building on January 6. Fierce battles between police...

Woke wannabe critics are attempting to cancel some of the most beloved holiday films in history, calling out problematic plot lines and characters in movies such as “Love Actually” (2003) and “The Holiday” (2006). Movies made as far back as the 1940s are also being targeted by the Twitterverse for racism and misogyny.

EXCLUSIVE: Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said it will be "up to the voters" on whether former President Trump should return to the White House but said he wouldn't "rule out" his own 2024 presidential bid. In his new book, "Republican Rescue: Saving the Party from Truth Deniers, Conspiracy Theorists, and the Dangerous Policies of Joe Biden," Christie describes his nearly 20-year friendship with Trump, saying he is always honest and straightforward with the former president.

Dr. Anthony Fauci dished out more unwanted advice on Wednesday, telling people to check the vaccine status of friends and relatives coming to their homes during the holiday season. "One thing that vaccinated people can feel comfortable with, for example — let's take the holiday setting, you're with your family, you have grandparents and parents and children, when you get vaccinated and you have a vaccinated group and you are in an indoor setting, you can enjoy, as we have traditionally over the years, dinners and gatherings within the home with people who are vaccinated," Fauci said during a live...

As California descends deeper into drought, officials are growing increasingly troubled by dwindling water supplies and the public’s lackluster response to calls for conservation, with residents in recent months falling short of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s request for a voluntary 15% reduction in usage.

New York Times economist Paul Krugman is the last person who should be complaining about the disappearance of maturity in today’s politics. Krugman exploited the death of former Sen. Bob Dole (R-KS) to pontificate how “his life story also reminds us of a time when public figures were supposed to show some sense of responsibility — to possess basic decency, to admit to mistakes when they made them, even to put their lives on the line in time of war.” Krugman has some nerve lecturing about “basic decency.” He just recently spewed that American, white working-class voters “‘want their racial...

VIDEOHillary Clinton performed a long whine about losing in 2016 in the form of an oddly tearless sob story. Despite the constant choking up, Hillary's dry soulless eyes revealed that she was unable to conjure up the tears needed to lend authenticity to her fable.For those who wish to endure more of her Drama Queen whining about the 2016 election, you can join the Dreckmeister class she is offering.

NEWSRAEL: In Israel, when somebody says "Trust me" - that is a sure sign that you are about to be screwed. We am not sure, and we will ask our contacts in Turkey about this, but we are willing to wager that it's the same in Turkey. In any case, we can expect a lot more opposition to Erdogan's AKP party, and Erdogan himself in the future. President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday Turks should be patient and trust his government's new economic model, under which he has prioritized economic growth driven by low interest rates, as the lira fell...

Dr. Fauci tells vaccine mandate opponents that they need to stop selfishly thinking about their own bodies, or things may need to get ugly [videos] One can only assume that Dr. Anthony Fauci was a little dictator in a past life, the way he’s conducted himself in the nearly two years since the COVID19 pandemic began. Seriously, the guy’s a power-hungry wannabe-tyrant. He’s had a sweet taste of authority and he’ll be damned if he’ll relinquish it without a fight. Tweet posted Fauci will say whatever he needs to in order to ensure that we continue to require his alleged...

New research published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that humans evolved to maintain a high degree of activity as we age. Some people think they need to rest more as they get older, but the opposite is actually true: cycling, strength training, yoga, hiking, and swimming are among activities that are ideal for seniors.Although humans might be tens of thousands of years past the hunter-gatherer days, the forces that shaped health for them are just as valid now, according to new research in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. One major...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) offered a forceful warning to Republican colleagues during a private lunch on Wednesday, saying former President Trump will come down hard on any GOP senators who vote for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) deal to set up a special pathway to raise the debt limit. In blunt remarks to the Senate Republican Conference, Graham harshly criticized McConnell for putting Senate Republicans in position to get “shot in the back” over the deal. He said McConnell had backed away from his vow earlier this year to not give Democrats any help in raising the debt limit.

The small Northern California city of Oroville became a national news story in the month of November when its city council voted 6-1 in favor of a resolution branding the city as a "constitutional republic" that would not enforce state or federal COVID-19 mandates.

The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo issued a tweet on Sunday warning that foreigners were being stopped by Japanese police in "suspected racial profiling incidents." "The U.S. Embassy has received reports of foreigners stopped and searched by Japanese police in suspected racial profiling incidents. Several were detained, questioned, and searched," the tweet said. "U.S. citizens should carry proof of immigration and request consular notification if detained," it added.
