Dear friends, the Lord Jesus' first coming overwhelmingly confirms the Rapture and His GLORIOUS Second Coming (Gen. 22:18; Isa. 7:14; 9:6-7; 11:1; Jer. 23:5-6; Matt. 3:1-3; Mark 1:14; Luke 3:1-6; John 1:14; Gal. 4:4; Heb. 10:4-9; Rev. 12:1-5)! If ALL of the prophecies of old, ALL came to pass at Christ's birth and first coming; then it should be a great comfort and overwhelming witness to all, that ALL of the prophecies of the Rapture and Second Coming will indeed also come to pass as well! Yet how many so called Christians reject outright these two crucial teachings of what...

Chief Justice John Roberts on Thursday rejected a request to block a federal mask mandate for air travel. The emergency request was filed by a Florida man on behalf of himself and his 4-year-old autistic son, who both claim to be medically incapable of wearing masks for extended periods, according to court papers

American corporate and political leaders are more eager than ever to burnish their do-gooder credentials. Companies are taking stands on social issues more than ever before. Politicians also want to make sure the voters know they are socially just. It's no surprise, therefore, that each house of Congress has passed a bill to stop the importation of goods made with Chinese slave labor. What's more interesting is just how much top American companies and our political leaders have done to slow down the process and weaken the protections. It's a case study in how Congress, the White House and big...

A significant severe weather outbreak, including the potential for nighttime tornadoes, is expected Friday night from parts of the lower and mid-Mississippi Valley into the Tennessee and lower Ohio valleys. A potent upper-level disturbance punching out of the Rockies and into the Plains on Friday will enter the Mississippi Valley by Friday night. This will cause a surface low-pressure system to intensify as it tracks into the Great Lakes region overnight, pushing a strong cold front across the central U.S. from the Ohio Valley to East Texas. Warm, humid air from the Gulf of Mexico will surge northward out ahead...

Destroying Notre-DameThe restoration plans will make the great church, like the civilization that built it, a shell of itself. “Vandalism has its newspapers, its cliques, its schools, its chairs, its public, its reasons. Vandalism has the bourgeoisie on its side. … There is nothing less popular among us than these sublime edifices made by the people and for the people. We hold against them all the crimes throughout the past to which they have been witness. We would prefer to erase our entire history. We devastate, pulverize, destroy, demolish out of national spirit. By being good Frenchmen, we have become...

Four men used hammers to smash through the front door and steal merchandise, the exact amount of which is still being determined by store management

As we have previously reported, journalist John Stossel is suing Facebook after Facebook’s ‘fact checkers’ labeled climate change information that Stossel posted as “false and misleading”. In the middle of all this is the nefarious website “Climate Feedback” which has a bunch of climate zealots that write up what they claim are “fact checks” for articles, videos, and news stories they disagree with. Facebook just blew the “fact check” claim right out of the water in court.

18.6% increase compared with 2019... The UK recorded its highest ever year-on-year increase of alcohol-related deaths during 2020, with COVID-19 lockdowns playing a huge role in the rise. Figures released today by the the Office of National Statistics (ONS) show that there were 8,974 deaths “from alcohol-specific causes,” an 18.6% increase compared with 2019. That represents the highest year-on-year increase since records began being collected in 2001. In an attempt to deflect the elephant in the living room, the ONS insisted that there are “many complex factors” to consider in explaining the deaths. However, the Alcohol Change charity warned last...

— Joe Manchin said Thursday he will vote to uphold the Senate parliamentarian’s decision if she rules that immigration or other provisions should fall from Democrats’ huge social bill, underscoring the party’s uphill fight to keep some top priorities in the legislation. Elizabeth MacDonough, the chamber’s nonpartisan rules referee, is expected to decide shortly whether language letting millions of migrants remain temporarily in the U.S. can stay in the 10-year, $2 trillion measure. Asked Wednesday whether he would vote to override a decision by the parliamentarian to erase the immigration provision, Manchin told reporters he would not. “The bottom line...

DENVER (CBS4)– A new study finds violent crimes and property crimes are rising faster in Colorado than nationally. Common Sense Institute, a non-partisan research organization, says violent crime jumped 10% in the state last year, compared to 5% nationally, and property crime increased 8%, while it dropped 8% nationally. The study puts the total cost of crime in Colorado at more than $27 billion in 2020. “We are awash in a crime tsunami,” says former 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler. He and former Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrisey conducted the study that found crime has been on the rise...

Editor's Note: This column is co-authored with Jim McCoy.On January 20th of this very long and tedious year. Americans who voted for Biden were hoping for a respite from Trump’s hyperbole. Instead, they were victimized by Biden’s more substantial prevarications. Things have been on a serious downhill slide for the United States in virtually every governmental and social domain. American is hurting – both as a nation-state and as a people. Of course, no one really knew how Biden would actually govern as President. During the Obama years Joe was a marionette, controlled by Obama (think Dan Penn & Spooner...

On two successive days, I traveled on the London Underground and the Paris Métro. One contrast between the passengers struck me very forcibly. On the London Underground, not more than 5 percent of the passengers wore face masks. On the Paris Métro, not more than 1 percent did not. The contrast was all the more startling because the wearing of masks was equally obligatory on both systems. On the London Underground there were many notices saying so, and occasional public address announcements to that effect. On the Parisian Métro, there were likewise public address announcements, though pronounced much more clearly...

The Labor Department reported Friday the U.S. consumer price index rose 0.8% in November, compared to October. The increase marks a 6.8% increase over the previous year, the department also reported, marking the highest annual inflation rate since June 1982.

Under the Biden administration, the CPI increased 0.9% in October, compared to the previous month. The index report from the department's Bureau of Labor Statistics gauges inflation by measuring the cost of dozens of items from such everyday goods as gasoline and food to...

(CNN) Nurse Katie Sefton never thought Covid-19 could get this bad -- and certainly not this late in the pandemic. "I was really hoping that we'd (all) get vaccinated and things would be back to normal," said Sefton, an assistant manager at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, Michigan. But this week Michigan had more patients hospitalized for Covid-19 than ever before. Covid-19 hospitalizations jumped 88% in the past month, according to the Michigan Health & Hospital Association.

Interview by Daniel Horowitz on The Conservative Review Podcast From Podcast Description: Take notes, because you are about to get an entire year’s lesson in immunology with Dr. Dan Stock. While the short-term effects of the shots have devastated many, Dr. Stock explains how almost everyone – especially those getting multiple boosters – will experience long-term damage to their immune systems. He explains exactly how the shots destroy your immune system, downregulate your cytotoxic T cells, and potentially create cancers and auto-immune diseases. He also shows how these shots have made the virus worse through antibody-dependent disease enhancement and how...

Forget speeding tickets — California truck drivers will soon have to watch out for pollution tickets. State regulators on Thursday voted to crack down on heavy duty trucks weighing more than 14,000 pounds (6,350 kilograms) — those big semi-trailers that make up just 3% of all vehicles in California but spend so much time on the road they account for more than half of all pollution from cars and trucks each year.
