India’s federal government has announced it will block foreign donations to a Christian missionary group founded by Mother Teresa amid a rise in attacks on religious minorities in the country. On Christmas Day, India’s Ministry of Home Affairs said they found “adverse inputs” when reviewing the Missionaries of Charity’s renewal application. As a result, the faith-based nonprofit no longer meets eligibility requirements under the Foreign Contributions Regulation Act. Founded by the famed Roman Catholic nun in 1950 in Calcutta, the charity runs orphanages, schools for abandoned children as well as soup kitchens and other charitable operations. The organization is dedicated...

The Associated Press reported, "Outlets hurt by dwindling public interest in news in 2021." Given that AP's customers are the news media which pays for AP's services, one can hardly expect objectivity when AP reports on the media. The data in this report are grim. In the last 12 months, the Washington Post's online traffic is down 44%. The New York Times is down 34%. Prime-time viewership is down 38% at CNN, 34% at Fox, and 25% at MSNBC. Nightly news viewership is down 14% at NBC, and down 12% at both ABC and CBS. AP spun this as an...

The newly updated CDC guidelines don't require testing at the end of isolation because PCR tests can stay positive for up to 12 weeks, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky tells @GMA.

The venerable South China Morning Post explained Monday that “so far China has reported nine Covid-19 cases caused by the omicron variant, including two who were infected by a man returning from Canada.”The United States is averaging about 235,000 cases per day, and in the most recent CDC analysis, almost 60% of new cases are from omicron. Assuming the accuracy of those numbers, the U.S. is currently averaging roughly 140,000 Omicron cases per day, while China, with five times the population, is averaging one omicron case per day. Yes, one. While the numbers in America aren’t totally accurate — folks...

A semitruck completed an 80-mile route in Arizona with no human on board and no human intervention during the trip using technology developed by TuSimple, the company said Wednesday. The nighttime trip earlier this month started at a railyard in Tucson, Arizona and ended at a distribution center in Phoenix with approval and supervision from the Arizona Department of Transportation and law enforcement. A lead vehicle scouted the route for unexpected obstacles about five miles ahead of the autonomous semi, and a trailing vehicle following about one-half mile behind the truck was prepared to intervene if necessary, along with several...

Fifth Day within the Octave of the Nativity of the Lord Luke 2:22-35 Friends, today’s Gospel tells the story of the presentation of Jesus in the temple. The temple was, in practically a literal sense, the dwelling place of the Lord. In the temple, divinity and humanity embraced, and the human race was brought back online with God. But the sins of the nation had, according to the prophet Ezekiel, caused the glory of the Lord to depart from the temple. Therefore, one of the deepest aspirations of Israel’s people was to reestablish the temple as the place of right...

FROM the death of a dictator to cataclysmic quakes, Nostradamus is believed to have predicted dire events for 2022. The French philosopher wrote 6,338 prophecies, suggesting when, where and how our world will dramatically end. Many of Nostradamus' predictions, such as the rise to power of Adolf Hitler, World War II, the September 11 terrorist attack, the French Revolution and the development of the atomic bomb have been interpreted as being accurate. Nostradamus also appeared to have predicted the start of the coronavirus pandemic of 2020, according to believers. According to Yearly-Horoscope, more than 70 per cent of his prophecies...

“We’ve turned the other cheek,” Trump said. “And I understand. I understand sort of the biblical reference. I understand the mentality. But it’s gotten us nothing, okay? It’s gotten us nothing.” “Enough is enough, because decency is out the window,” Trump later said.

Nostradamus was born in December 1503 in Southern France's Saint Rémy de Provence. Michel de Nostradame, better known as only 'Nostradamus', was a French prophet, astrologer, and reputed seer who made thousands of predictions in his book Les Propheties over 465 years ago. A huge number of prophecies have come true to make him the most renowned clairvoyant in the history of the world. As many of his predictions have been scarily accurate, people still closely observe and study the things he said in his lifetime. Nostradamus was born in Saint Rémy de Provence, southern France, in December 1503. His...

2021 has been the year of the Great Realignment. Rather than a one-off, Donald Trump’s impressive gains with non-white voters have proven the harbinger of a greater shift. Republicans won two heavily Hispanic districts in the Texas State House this past November, one which went Democratic in the presidential race by 14%, the other when Democrat Ryan Guillen switched parties in a district where no Republican had ever won more than 39% of the vote. Democrats have also begun to acknowledge their peril as they have come under fire over their use of the term “Latinx.” In the meantime, they...

Edgar Cayce's predictions for 2022 are expected by many of those who are interested in esotericism and strive to look ahead into the future. This is due to the fact that this seer gave a fairly large number of self-fulfilling predictions. Edgar Cayce Phenomenon Edgar Cayce was born in 1877 as an ordinary boy. One day he fell ill with aphonia, which is characterized by a complete loss of voice. The ability to speak normally returned to him when put into hypnosis. In this state, he told the doctors how to return his voice to a conscious state, and they...

Contrary to online claims, the Omicron variant of COVID-19 does not have a 100% survival rate, as some social media users suggest.

You’re statistically more likely to die from literally anything else” is viewable here Similar posts are visible here and here .

Xi Jinping has been doing a great deal of saber rattling of late, threatening both Australia and Taiwan. China has also been building islands in the South China Sea, flying hypersonic weapons, stealing and illegally buying vast amounts of military technology, and overtly working to make its military more manly, even as the U.S. military deals with maternity flight suits and the needs of the so-called transgender troops. Nevertheless, when all is said and done, a military is only as good as the people doing the fighting, and there are indications that China has a problem in this area.p>The Epoch...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemJohn 12Jesus Anointed at Bethany 12 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about a pint[a] of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later...
