Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41:10 The Communist Party is attempting to terrorize America into becoming China complete with concentration camps. You will never have this reported on PravdABC since they want the dictatorship as much as the DNC does. This is a civil war gone hot between the Inner Circles of Moscow on the Potomac and Havana on the Hudson. This is the rich and powerful...

Afghanistan’s new Taliban rulers are committed in principle to education and jobs for girls and women, a marked departure from their previous time in power, and seek the world’s “mercy and compassion” to help millions of Afghans in desperate need, a top Taliban leader said in a rare interview. Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi also told The Associated Press that the Taliban government wants good relations with all countries and has no issue with the United States. He urged Washington and other nations to release upward of $10 billion in funds that were frozen when the Taliban took power...

Our predictions were right, just not nearly as accelerated as we expected. We’ve said for months that the Covid-19 “boosters” would accelerate from once a year to every six months, then three months, then monthly. It seems our bold prediction wasn’t nearly bold enough in the German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia. JUST IN – Germany: "Booster" injections are now offered as early as 4 weeks after the last vaccination in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia (RND) — Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) December 13, 2021 Allowing for a mere four-week gap means their doctors and scientists aren’t seeing the “protection” they’d...

innesota hospital leaders are warning in a full-page newspaper ad that they are “overwhelmed” amid a COVID-19 surge and are urging the public to take action. “Our emergency departments are overfilled, and we have patients in every bed in our hospitals,” write the leaders of nine hospital systems in the state, including the Mayo Clinic and North Memorial Health. The hospitals warn that because their capacity is strained, care for non-coronavirus medical events, like heart attacks, is also threatened.

Monday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” climate scientist Michael Mann emphasized the importance of getting President Joe Biden’s so-called “Build Back Better” agenda passed. According to Mann, the bill, which he noted “has climate provisions that will address” the problems of deadly tornadoes such as the ones seen across the central United States over the weekend, would prevent future tornadoes from being worse.

ATLANTA, GA—After being in the closet for over 18 years at Fox News, news anchor Chris Wallace has come out officially as a fake news journalist. After being turned down by The Babylon Bee, Wallace will make the move over to CNN's new streaming service. "I attempted real news for a long time, but I was living a lie," said Wallace in his official statement on Fox News. "It's time for me to finally be honest with the world and live out my truth. It's time for me to finally show the world who I really am: a fake news...

NORTH POLE—Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer received praise for taking a stunning and brave stance against outdated binary gender stagnation by changing his name to Rolanda and subsequently dominating every field in the North Pole’s annual Female Reindeer Games. “Rolanda is a shining beacon for young, female reindeer in more ways than one,” stated the president of the North Pole Reindeer Games Committee, Bob Chairman. “She has shattered records in every event she has entered, which says so much about the physical potential of all female reindeer.”

I believe egg rolls to be the perfect vessel for a lot of foods. Growing up, I remember going to the chicken spot in my neighborhood and getting “pizza rolls.” Pretty much it was cheese, tomato sauce and sometimes pepperoni encased in egg roll wrappers. I know, you're probably thinking: "Why are pizza rolls served at a fried chicken spot?" And I don't have the answer. But they were delicious nonetheless. Ever since, I've been determined to put my own spin on this childhood favorite. When I was thinking of what to put in my own egg rolls, two things...

-First, I want to talk about the wider context of the global movement of secularization and de-Christianization and the impact of the pandemic. -Second, I want to offer a “spiritual interpretation” of the new social justice and political identity movements in America. -Finally, I want to suggest some evangelical priorities for the Church as we confront the realities of the present moment. So, let’s begin. 1. Secularization and De-Christianization I think we all know that while there are unique conditions in the United States, similar broad patterns of aggressive secularization have long been at work in Spain and elsewhere in...

In July of last year, the Shelby GT350 “Ken Miles R-Model” Mustang Prototype sold for a hammer price of $3.5 million ($3.85 million with fees) at auction in Indianapolis, making it the most expensive Ford Mustang ever sold. For reasons unknown, the buyer has decided to flip it, and the iconic Mustang will be up for sale once again, this time at Mecum’s Kissimmee, Florida auction in January. This GT350R broke the record for world’s priciest Mustang that had been set by the 1968 Ford Mustang GT driven by Steve McQueen in the film Bullitt. It has an incredible pedigree;...

An outpouring of legislative opposition and a likely threat of litigation aren’t changing Gov. John Bel Edwards’ mind about requiring some Louisiana students to get the COVID-19 vaccine during the next school year or file a written opt-out form. The Democratic governor is facing increasing pushback to his response to the coronavirus outbreak — particularly on issues involving children — as the pandemic nears its two-year mark. Most of the objections and criticism are coming from Republicans, but the student immunization plan also has drawn opposition from some lawmakers within Edwards’ own party. Edwards intends to add the COVID-19 vaccine...

As of December 9, 2021, more than 8.1 billion vaccine doses have been administered worldwide. However, most of those have gone to people who live in the world’s high income countries. As of December 8, 2021, 64.94% of the population of those countries have received at least one vaccine dose. In low income countries, this figure is just 8.35%. In addition to the logistical challenge of getting vaccines to those who need them, the cost of purchasing them in the first place is the most significant barrier to addressing vaccine inequity. To get a sufficient number of people vaccinated, experts...

If your spouse says to you, “I love you but I’m not IN love with you anymore” … OUCH! You are experiencing a big OUCH to the Nth degree! Even if you’ve said those words to your spouse, I say OUCH!

When those words are given, you are either the giver or the receiver of that pain. Either way there are horribly hurt feelings that are involved! Tragically, that phrase of loving, but...

Can funny gun signs affect your self-defense rights? “Keep honking, I’m reloading.” “Trespassers will be shot; survivors will be shot again.” “This home protected by the Second Amendment.” “We don’t call 911.” The Armed Attorneys break down why your funny gun sign for your home or vehicle might not be so funny in a court of law.

A study out of the University of Portsmouth in the UK has found that instances of littering with face masks and other PPE surged by 9000 percent during the first seven months of the coronavirus pandemic, and may have even helped the virus to spread more rapidly. BBC News reports that the study, published in the journal Nature Sustainability, concluded around two million masks were collected as litter from 11 countries. This was just a snapshot of the situation in the wider world. The study found that Covid-related litter began its “exponential increase” in March 2020, as the global pandemic...

The following text is an expanded version of testimony that the author delivered to a hearing of the Senate Subcommittee on Communications, Media, and Broadband on December 9, 2021. The meme that algorithmic harm results from greedy CEOs hacking our minds fails to grasp the true nature of the digital crisis roiling America. The main purpose of algorithms, like digital programs and datacenters more broadly, is not to make money or influence thoughts, but to control people—in a direct and alien way hostile to our core beliefs and principles. True, the objection could be raised that algorithms, in a certain...

Credit: CC0 Public Domain In the U.S. the year-end holidays are here, which not only makes it the season of joy and celebration, but also of butter as many Americans make batches of cookies and creamy comfort foods to celebrate. In 2018, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned partially hydrogenated oils from food products such as margarines in order to reduce the amount of heart-damaging trans fats people consume. A new study from the University of Minnesota School of Public Health recently compared the nutrition composition of margarine products to butter to see which is now the healthier choice...
