The stabbing death of 35-year-old Christina Yuna Lee in her Lower Manhattan apartment is reverberating around the country, with calls from coast to coast to do more to stop Asian hate. Police said Lee was coming home Saturday night and was walking up six flights of stairs to her apartment when a homeless man named Assamad Nash, 25, followed her into her unit and stabbed her more than 40 times. She was found in her bathtub.

An international team of scientists, including Dr. Willie Soon, has produced a solar model which does a skilful job of reproducing past climate shifts such as the Little Ice Age and Medieval Warm Period...The main reasons for the Little Ice Age (LIA) are the long and deep minimum of summer insolation and insolation seasonality (IS) in the Northern Hemisphere...The noted characteristics of insolation, reflecting not only variations in the arrival of solar radiation, but also variations in the mechanisms of heat transfer, are not taken into account in the general astronomical theory of climate. Taking these indicators into account will...

Alawsuit filed against Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson asserts she illegally accepted private money for the 2020 presidential election to swing the election for President Joe Biden. The Chicago-based Thomas More Society filed the lawsuit in the Michigan Court of Claims, alleging Benson violated election law by spending private election funding on partisan purposes that denied Michigan voters’ constitutional equal access voting rights. The Center Square previously reported Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan contributed $400 million nationwide into the 2020 election through their Chicago-based nonprofit, the Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL).

Two earthquakes shook northern Israel within a few hours, bringing the total of earthquakes in Israel this month up to four. Scientists are issuing dire warnings of imminent doom, but rabbis point to the prophecies as proof that people who have faith, have nothing to fear and even that the Messiah’s arrival is “speeding up.” The first earthquake hit at around 9:00 PM on Tuesday night and measured 3.5 on the Richter scale. ts epicenter was located in Jordan, 9 miles northeast of Beit Shean. On Wednesday morning, about ten hours later, a 3.1 earthquake shook the same area. Teruah...

The US Coast Guard was searching for a passenger that jumped overboard on a Carnival cruise ship into the Gulf of Mexico Wednesday. The Carnival Valor vessel was en route to New Orleans from Cozumel, Mexico when a woman jumped into the water from her balcony, Carnival said in a statement. An air rescue was underway Wednesday as the ship circled the area where the 32-year-old woman went into the water, 150 miles off the shore of Louisiana, the Coast Guard said. “Carnival’s CARE team is providing support to the guest’s husband who was traveling with her,” according to the...

“‘Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted’” (Matthew 5:4). The world still operates according to the old popular song lyrics that say, “Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag, and smile, smile, smile.” This philosophy basically tells us to hide all our problems and pretend to be happy; and of course people apply this outlook to sin all the time. Nevertheless Jesus says, “Blessed are those who mourn.” Godly mourning and confession of sins bring the only kind of happiness worth having—godly happiness that no amount of human effort, optimistic pretense, or positive thinking can...

Medical researchers discovered the risk of myocarditis in young men increases after each Pfizer injection, especially after the second dose. Two teenage American boys have died after receiving the Covid “vaccine,” according to an article in the journal Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine. The children were found dead in bed three and four days after their second Pfizer injections. The boys were pronounced dead at home and never given a chance to be resuscitated. One boy complained of headaches and stomach complaints but felt better three days after the injection. The other boy had no complaints. According to autopsies...

How the CDC Abandoned ScienceMass youth hospitalizations, COVID-induced diabetes, and other myths from the brave new world of science as political propagandaThe main federal agency guiding America’s pandemic policy is the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, which sets widely adopted policies on masking, vaccination, distancing, and other mitigation efforts to slow the spread of COVID and ensure the virus is less morbid when it leads to infection. The CDC is, in part, a scientific agency—they use facts and principles of science to guide policy—but they are also fundamentally a political agency: The director is appointed by the president of the...

Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, THE LORD WAS WITH HIM; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible...

"Dirty tricks" was a term used to describe the behavior of operatives within the Nixon administration to smear the reputations of opponents and undermine the appeal of certain politicians. Fifty years ago, these dirty tricks included a false allegation that Sen. Henry "Scoop" Jackson (D-WA.) had fathered an illegitimate child with a 17-year-old girl and the break-in at Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C., when Nixon aides and operatives attempted to find materials the Nixon team could use against his perceived "enemies." Dirty tricks are not to be confused with negative campaigning, which at least...

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s recent comparison of human beings to machines revealed far more of modern liberalism’s pathologies than she likely intended. It exposed the reductionist and materialistic heart of the liberal project. Sorry, Madame Justice, but humans are not machines. With proper maintenance and a source of earth-generated power, machines can operate indefinitely. They have no need of rest and no need of meaningful interactions with other machines. They can just keep producing material things (including the rearranging of electrons) 24/7 indefinitely. Time was that that the heart of American liberalism beat in synchrony with human hearts. And...

All over the country last week, Democrat governors and mayors engaged in their own Olympic-level gymnastics to flip and twist their way to ending COVID-inspired mandates – except, oddly, in some states, mask mandates for children in school. Science has shown children to be the very least likely to become seriously infected, or to become hospitalized, or to die. The endless masking of children begs the question: What science are these Democrats following? Science has shown masks are harmful to children’s mental and emotional well-being. Masks have contributed to learning loss and speech impediments – to say nothing of breathing...

If this is real, it’s not shocking. Australia has gone insane in the COVID era, literally locking down almost everything. They built what could only be described as internment camps. They closed their borders. Everyone was locked in their homes. COVID Zero was the name of the game. So, it shouldn’t be shocking that their neighbor New Zealand was equally draconian. Thanks to the great account Libs of Tik Tok, we have this ticket from someone in Kiwi land who didn’t want to test for COVID. They were fined $330. ... The creepy part is what happens when you fail...

The political world is mired in must-watch political theater in Canada, where the government announced this week that banks could freeze the personal and corporate accounts of those who they believe to be involved in the trucker protest without due process. In Washington, the Senate is debating whether to impose sanctions against Russia due to a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Senate is also gearing up for another U.S. Supreme Court nomination process. And in San Francisco, three school board members were recalled. But with these sideshows going, the world continues to spin. People get up and go to...
