A large number of American citizens have been rescued from Afghanistan by a volunteer group after being abandoned by Democrat Joe Biden’s administration. 39 U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents were successfully evacuated Friday by the volunteer civilian group Project Dynamo. They arrived safely at New York City’s JFK airport on Saturday morning, according to the New York Post. Project Dynamo receives funding from Save Our Allies, which is affiliated with The Independence Fund. More than a dozen children, including an 11-month-old American citizen, were among the evacuees. “This is the first known major airlift rescue with American boots on...

cientists are warning an Antarctic glacier could collapse and cause sea levels to raise at least a foot in the next decade. The scientists said Monday at the American Geophysical Union the Thwaites glacier, which is the size of Florida, could collapse in the next three to five years. The ice shelf holding the glacier in place is quickly developing cracks due to the warm water hitting it, according to the scientists. "There's going to be a dramatic change in the front of the glacier probably within less than a decade," Ted Scambos, a senior research scientist at the Cooperative...

Putting churches on sale is something the Russian Orthodox Church cannot approve of anywhere and under any circumstances, said Archpriest Igor Yakimchuk, Secretary for Inter-Orthodox relations of the Department for External Church Relations, in an interview with the RIA Novosti information agency. Several days ago, Garo Paylan, deputy of the Turkish parliament and member of the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party, condemned the attempted sale of two Orthodox church buildings — a Greek Orthodox church in Bursa and a Syrian Orthodox church in Mardine. He urged the Turkish Minister of culture and tourism, Mehmet Nuri Ersoy, to intervene in the situation....

Justice Robert Goldstein of the Superior Court of Justice in Toronto ruled that there was a 'reasonable doubt' that Bill Whatcott’s flyer and his actions fit the legal definition for the 'Wilful Promotion of Hatred.'TORONTO (LifeSiteNews) — A pro-family Christian advocate charged with a “hate crime” for distributing anti-LGBT flyers at a Toronto homosexual pride parade has been found not guilty. Bill Whatcott was charged under the “Wilful Promotion of Hatred” statute in the Canadian Criminal Code for distributing graphic anti-LGBT flyers at Toronto’s 2016 Gay Pride Parade, and if he had been convicted, faced up to two years in...

PA libel: Israel “exported” Coronavirus to the PA Israel “used the virus as a new weapon” to destroy the PA Abbas’ advisor: “Allah is liable to bring down punishment on everyone, on all the people who are silent facing injustice, agree with injustice, and defend the oppressors… I think that today we are seeing the realization of this… All of humanity… is being included in one punishment, in this disaster [of the Coronavirus]… Is there a greater injustice than the injustice directed against us?”

Americans are increasingly done with mandates in the name of fighting COVID. After almost two years, most have gone back to their pre-pandemic lives and just won’t obey orders from the hysteria echo chamber. Consider Gov. Kathy Hochul’s recent mask-or-vax mandate. More than 30 New York County executives have publicly refused to enforce it, using terms like “Gestapo tactics” and “mask police.” And not just Republican execs: The Democrats in charge of Nassau and Suffolk counties balked, too. ... It’s time for the nation’s leaders to fall back to simply offering advice in most cases: Issuing orders that won’t be...

The Syro-Malabar Church is today one of four major archiepiscopal churches recognized by Rome.The leaders of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church want to introduce a uniform liturgy — but the process is not going smoothly. It’s difficult for Catholics who are unfamiliar with the Syro-Malabar Church to understand what’s happening and why it’s proving to be so controversial. So CNA turned to Mar Joseph Srampickal, the first bishop of the Syro-Malabar Eparchy of Great Britain, to help explain what’s at stake. What is the Syro-Malabar Church?The Syro-Malabar Church is one of the 23 autonomous Eastern Catholic Churches in full communion with...

The daily new cases in South Africa, Denmark, Norway and the UK — countries with the largest documented omicron burdens — have exceeded their pandemic records. But hospitalisation and deaths appear relatively low, health officials and experts have said... In the UK, the seven-day average of daily new infections rose from 43,000 on December 1 to over 93,000 on December 17, while the seven-day average of daily deaths during this period have remained below 125. This is a fraction of the average 1,200 daily deaths during the peak of the UK’s wave in January this year. South Africa has over...

The new mask mandate will be in place anywhere mass is celebrated, and for all events including weddings and funerals, the Archdiocese of Boston said Thursday. Face coverings are making a comeback for parishes within the Archdiocese of Boston for the holidays. “I will definitely feel safer coming to church knowing people are wearing masks,” said churchgoer Moran Brister of South Boston. “In fact I might not go otherwise.” The Archdiocese announced Thursday that masks will be required for a one-month period before and after Christmas and the New Year season. “Quite extraordinarily we’re seeing yet another spike and we...

What a great day of news! I've never had so many posts selected for the Main page (Breaking / Front Page News). Manchin really sent the Left into meltdown. I appreciate the work of the Mods and wish to donate but noticed the Feeepathon ended today. Can you still donate when it's closed? Or should I just wait? Merry Christmas.

It should have been obvious during the few moments of lucidity from Joe Biden’s weird ranting lately: the electoral college is in the Democrats’ crosshairs now that the GOP has taken election integrity more seriously and the Dem administration that was supposed to save the country from Trump has turned out to be such a massive failure. Democrat future presidential wins look as likely as Democrat midterms wins.So how can we tell Democrats will again turn to the unpopular tactic of attacking the electoral college out of desperation? Because Biden himself told us recently.“It's about who gets to count the...

Per a new report, the White House is preparing to surrender on COVID. What exactly the word “surrender” means in this context is up for some debate, but I’ve got some thoughts on the matter.To get us there, though, the Biden administration is laying the groundwork to make the case for living with the coronavirus. That’s in stark contrast to the lofty promises Joe Biden made during the 2020 election, namely, that he’d “shut down the virus.”In the face of rising case counts, the White House prepares to acknowledge that Covid restrictions were futile and we need to learn to...

(WKRC) - Former President Bill Clinton strongly believes his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should have been the president of the United States. President Clinton recently said in an interview with PEOPLE that not electing Hillary as president in 2016 was "one of the most profound mistakes we ever made". He went on to call his wife "the most qualified person to run for office in my lifetime, including me". "Being well-qualified is a bad thing, having done things in the jobs you had before, including the magnificent job she did as a Senator for New York, it...

The need for Ohio businesses to fill job openings stretches beyond entry-level or relatively low-paying positions and more employers have turned to a state-run database created two years ago to help. More than 13% more Ohio employers included needs on TopJobs.Ohio.gov than the state’s previous response rate. The website reflects current workforce needs for in-demand and critical jobs across the state, according to Gov. Mike DeWine. “There are many opportunities here in Ohio for those who are ready to begin their careers or are looking to learn something new,” DeWine said. “Our updated Top Jobs List outlines the most in-demand...
