Pascha Translated Easter One of the supposed “errors” in the King James Bible is the word “Easter” in Acts 12:4. The problem stems from the translation of a Greek word. The word in Greek is “pascha.” This word is translated every time as “Passover” except in this one location. Therefore, the critics of the KJV say that translating “pascha” as Easter is a translation error. The truth of the matter is that the critics are wrong and the King James Bible is right. And you don’t even have to know Greek to see this. If you will check your concordance,...

While being interviewed by MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin, filling in for Rachel Maddow, Fauci admitted that many of the children who are in the hospital with Covid-19 are not in the hospital because of the disease. Watch: The portion that preceded this video seemed to be same-old lying Fauci as he detailed that Covid is putting more kids in the hospital. “First of all, quantitatively, you’re having so many more people, including children, who are getting infected. And even though hospitalization among children is much, much lower on a percentage basis than hospitalizations for adults, particularly elderly individuals,” he said,...

Well, the Ghislaine Maxwell trial is over and it ended pretty much how we figured it would. She was found guilty on 5 of the 6 counts, and all the elites who raped underage girls got off scot-free. I thought independent journalist Mike Cernovich put it best: “Ghislaine Maxwell case is a mop up operation. Maybe something will sneak out but this was handled professionally by the regime.” ... He’s right. It was a mop-up operation, designed to make sure the high and mighty elites didn’t go down for their crimes. Can you imagine the blackmail files Jeffrey Epstein had...

I will be visiting my close friend, who lives in Central GA,at the end of January or early February.We're considering a trip down to Plains, GA from where he is (roughly 1 hour away).I wasn't alive during Carter's presidency, but my understanding is that hewrecked the economy, fueled hyperinflation, helped expedite the decline of American Public Education via the creation of the unconstitutional DOE, and was a massive anti-Semite.In other words, he was a raving leftist who did more harm than good to this nation.However, I will give Carter some credit. I admire his ascension to the presidency in lieu...

As the lockdown in Xi’an continues through its second week, 13M residents are getting a taste of what life was like for the millions in Wuhan who suffered through that city’s 70+ day lockdown back in the spring of 2020.Xi’an has counted more than 1,000 cases, with none confirmed to be omicron (China has found some omicron cases in Shanghai and the southern part of the country).

The survey was conducted by Rasmussen Reports among 1,000 American adults from Dec. 21 to 22, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at and 95 percent confidence level.

Soon, Brits will own nothing and will be happier for it…UK Government Transport Minister Trudy Harrison recently spoke at a mobility conference, addressing the future of personal mobility. In her comments, she said it was necessary to ditch the "20th-century thinking centred around private vehicle ownership and towards greater flexibility, with personal choice and low carbon shared transport."

All of these are supposed...

Kathy Hochul that she misled parents about the magnitude of hospitalizations for COVID-19 among children, explaining she raised fears of a concerning trend to "motivate" them to get their children vaccinated.Dr. Mary Bassett acknowledged Monday that the number of children hospitalized at the time due to the coronavirus was low, about 50, and remained low."It really was to motivate pediatricians and families to seek the protection of vaccination," she said.Bassett added, however, that "vaccination coverage remains too low," arguing children "become infected with COVID and some...

The scientist who combined two widely available over-the-counter compounds that inhibited the novel coronavirus by 99% in early tests told WND he's hopeful his treatment will be available "within months.""An FDA-approved treatment could be in sight within months if pharmaceutical companies utilize existing clinical trial resources," said Dr. David Ostrov in an email interview with WND.Ostrov, an immunologist and associate professor in the University of Florida College of Medicine’s department of pathology, immunology and laboratory medicine, combined diphenhydramine, which is marketed as Benadryl, and lactoferrin, a protein in milk, as WND reported in December."My prediction is that antiviral drug combinations,...

In Russia's Leningrad Oblast, in the vicinity of Saint Petersburg, a new memorial complex dedicated to the 800th anniversary of the holy prince, Saint Alexander Nevsky, was opened on December 22.

On this day in 1873, Al Smith was born in a tenement on New York’s Lower East Side. His father was Italian American and his mother Irish American. The name “Smith” was an English translation of his immigrant grandfather’s surname “Ferraro.” Smith’s father—a truck driver—died when Smith was about six years old. His widowed and impoverished mother did what widowed and impoverished mothers often did in those days: She opened a candy store. Out of that, she managed to eke out a living for herself and her children. Smith was a proud graduate of Groton and of Harvard. No, wait...

Ever-growing environmental threats are pushing many animals and plants to the brink of extinction — the scale of which hasn’t been seen since dinosaurs died out, the German branch of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) said on Wednesday.

There are currently 142,500 animal and plant species on the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) — 40,000 of which are “threatened with extinction.” It...
