“The art made by Christians today is not only not beautiful, but tends to be among the ugliest art that mankind is producing,” screenwriter and professor Barbara Nicolosi-Harrington said during her talk to the students and faculty of Christendom College on May 2. Nicolosi’s talk, entitled Why Hollywood Matters, explored the challenges facing Christians in the art of cinema and the art in churches. “We have sacrificed the beautiful to other things,” she said. A professor at Pepperdine University, Nicolosi is the founder of Act One, an organization that seeks to nurture the next generation of Christian artists and media...

The more people I speak with about lithium, the bigger this story gets. Following my previous article — How The U.S. Is Losing The Lithium Industry To China — several readers told me that this battle is already lost. And, I have to admit that the trajectory we are currently on gives little reason to believe that China’s dominance will be threatened any time soon. In today’s article, I want to reiterate two threats to U.S. national security based on the current trajectory. Then, I want to revisit why China jumped ahead of the U.S. Finally, I want to talk...

Former President Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani led a plot to create fake electors during the 2020 presidential election in an attempt to keep Trump in charge, three people with knowledge of the plan told CNN. The former president’s lawyer led the charge in seven key states that Trump lost by working with allies at the state-level so fake certificates could be sent to the National Archives, according to CNN’s sources. In a recording obtained by CNN, Meshawn Maddock, co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party, who was also a fake elector, said at an event that the Trump campaign asked...

Statistician Nate Silver said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that President Joe Biden had not fulfilled his promise to “return to normal.”

Unvaccinated Green Bay Packers star Aaron Rodgers slammed President Joe Biden’s “fake White House” after the commander in chief joked last month about the quarterback not getting inoculated against COVID-19. In a lengthy ESPN story about the outspoken NFL veteran published Friday, Rodgers fumed about Biden recently labeling COVID-19 the “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” “When the president of the United States says, ‘This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,’ it’s because him and his constituents, which, I don’t know how there are any if you watch any of his attempts at public speaking, but I guess he got 81 million...

In recent years, South Korea’s conservative party has gone through devastating political turmoil... But in recent months, the party – now rebranded as the People Power Party (PPP) – has regained momentum. The PPP claimed its first electoral win in the April by-elections for the Seoul and Busan mayoral posts, and has caught up with President Moon Jae-in’s progressive Democratic Party in approval rating. Broadly, the conservative party’s resurgence can be attributed to expanded support from moderate swing voters. According to a Seoul National University study, South Korea’s ideological landscape displays a 5:3:2 ratio between moderates, progressives, and conservatives... What...

House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff highlighted reports by British intelligence that Russia has planned to install a "puppet government" in Ukraine as he hopes to draw attention from the international community to the issue.

The CIA is overseeing a secret intensive training program in the U.S. for elite Ukrainian special operations forces and other intelligence personnel, according to five former intelligence and national security officials familiar with the initiative. The program, which started in 2015, is based at an undisclosed facility in the Southern U.S., according to some of those officials. The CIA-trained forces could soon play a critical role on Ukraine’s eastern border, where Russian troops have massed in what many fear is preparation for an invasion. The U.S. and Russia started security talks earlier this week in Geneva but have failed thus...

Often when I write about the issue of pornography, I get asked why some who works for a pro-life organization bothers with the issue. What, after all, does pornography have to do with abortion? One reason for that question, of course, is that people are much less comfortable discussing an issue that they have almost inevitably been affected by, whether they’ve struggled with porn themselves or they know someone who has. With some of the latest polling data indicating that 64-68% of young adult men and about 18% of women use pornography at least once every single week, and an...

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that it was “entirely conceivable” people may need boosters again to fight COVID-19.

With the huge increases in Omicron cases in Australia, let’s have a look at the measures taken by the Australian Open organizers to address transmission, both for athletes and spectators. This brief analysis concludes that, unless quiete a few athletes are already immune thanks to a previous disease, like for example Nadal is, it may be hard for the event to be realistically held, as most players will likely get Omicron during the 2 weeks of the event – from January 17 to January 30.A quick look at the website of the Australian Open shows that the authorities rely solely...

Sexual Perversion is Common in the Church, Even Among “Good” People We need to accept the reality that sexual perversion is common in the church. Did you know that 50% of pastors view porn on a regular basis? That is a number that many church-goers find hard to believe, but it is true. Obviously, not every porn addict will engage in criminal behavior but porn-addiction does affect the brain like a drug. In other words, in many, it can lead to more aggressive behavior as addicts look for a bigger and better hit. Feel free to read my full article...

Gizmodo reported on the leaks. A hostile offshoot of the defunct neo-Nazi group Vanguard America, Patriot Front formed in late August 2017 less than three weeks after the white nationalist “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. (James Alex Fields Jr., who was convicted in December 2018 of killing 32-year-old anti-racist protester Heather Heyer at the rally, was seen there holding a shield emblazoned with the VA logo. VA later denied he was a member.) The split from VA followed months of infighting between Thomas Rousseau, the Front’s founder, and VA leader Dillon Irizarry, who was seen accusing Rousseau in...

I work in an engineering department at a tech company in the USA. I've worked on many hiring projects over the years but the latest project is different to the others. In the spreadsheet that lists all the open positions, there's a new column next to open positions with DEI comments. It has a line like this: Senior Software Engineer (must be female) If I follow this spreadsheet and exclude male applicants, then would I break any laws? Or if not laws, then would I violate other regulations or ethical standards in the industry? I ask because my understanding of...
