Harris, the district's race and equity monitor, told CBS13 that a black female student has confessed to the vandalism, and was caught on camera in the act. Harris said that he believes the vandalism was not a racially motivated act. "I don’t believe those words that were on those water fountains were racist,"...

On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks stated that “we’d be looking at a very difficult and very troubling” scenario if former President Donald Trump was still the president during the current situation with Russia and Ukraine. Because “Donald Trump was never one to really go toe-to-toe with Vladimir Putin.” While President Joe Biden “has done an excellent job of rallying the Western alliance.” Brooks said, “The Biden administration has done an excellent job of rallying the Western alliance. It’s been a demonstration of why the world needs America to be a leader of the free world....

“‘Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted’” (Matthew 5:4). A general love of sin is the greatest hindrance to true spiritual mourning, because holding on to sins causes our hearts to harden. One of the less advertised but more common sins is the sin of despair, which is essentially the same as giving up on God and putting ourselves outside His grace—refusing to believe He can save or help us. The prophet Jeremiah wrote this of such people: “But they will say, ‘It’s hopeless! For we are going to follow our own plans, and each of us...

At Vatican fraud trial, lawyers argue pope violated defendants' rights Vatican City — Defense lawyers in the Vatican's fraud and extortion trial on Feb. 18 accused Pope Francis of violating their clients' human rights by issuing four secret, executive decrees that gave prosecutors free reign to investigate in ways that deprived the suspects of basic legal guarantees.The lawyers argued that the resulting trial into the Vatican's bungled 350 million euro investment in a London real estate deal is therefore illegitimate, and they again called for Tribunal President Giuesppe Pignatone to throw out the indictments. Pignatone is set to rule on...

Sheriff Michael Chapman of Loudoun County, Va. got an unpleasant surprise recently from Old Joe Biden’s handlers. On Thursday, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office published a press release that reveals the truly astonishing extent of the administration’s high-handedness, dishonesty, carelessness, and recklessness in its resettlement of Afghan refugees in cities and towns all over the United States. Without any prior warning, Loudoun County officials were told that 2,000 Afghan refugees would be arriving in the county in just over two weeks and that 2,000 more would be arriving every month after that through September. In what will come as no...

The spring construction season is about to begin as homeowners face some of the highest lumber prices ever for this time of year. March lumber futures in Chicago closed at $1,270 per 1,000 board ft. in Chicago on Friday, up more than 36% since the beginning of the month due to tighter Canadian supplies ahead of the spring building season.

Paging former president Barack Obama! Did you know that not only your island home on Martha's Vineyard but your new beachfront home currently being built on Oahu are in imminent danger of being flooded out? And the millions of dollars you spent on both will also be washed away!At least that is according to Zack Coleman who covers climate change for Politico. However, the good news for Obama is that Coleman offers zero proof to back up his apocalyptic assertion on Monday in "Seas could rise up to a foot by 2050, posing 'a clear and present risk' to U.S."

…Next topic: World oil prices are surging above $90, quite possibly to $100 or more, but the radical climate people populating the Biden administration with the president’s enthusiastic support continue to wage war against all forms of fossil fuels and pipelines. Europe and the rest of the world need more oil and natural gas and they need it right now. We’ve got enough of an inflation problem as it is. So naturally, Team Biden is doing everything it can to prevent this. Of course, they have stopped the drilling in Alaska, stopped the Keystone XL pipeline and jacked up drilling...

l Salvador's president and the Chinese ambassador traded flatteries this month as they broke ground on a new national library, one of a slew of gifts China has promised this small mountainous nation as part of its vigorous quest to gain influence across Central America. As they smiled for photos, Ambassador Ou Jianhong expressed her "greatest respect" for President Nayib Bukele, a polarizing leader who has assailed El Salvador's democratic institutions and clashed repeatedly with U.S. officials. Bukele, in turn, praised Chinese President Xi Jinping, an authoritarian who has engineered China's rise at the expense of civil liberties. When the...

My reaction is one of total shock and bewilderment.” In an interview from his home in London, Maxwell said the family “fears for her safety” at...

A CHINESE destroyer has fired a LASER at an Australian warplane - as tensions in the South China Sea rage on.

As fears grow of a Russian invasion of his country, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is proposing a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "I don't know what the president of the Russian Federation wants, that's why I proposed to meet," Zelenskyy said at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday. "We are ready to sit down and speak. Pick the platform that you like," Zelenskyy said. "What is the point of us shooting and proposing diplomacy at the same time?" The Kremlin does not yet appear to have responded to Zelenskyy's proposal, as of Saturday afternoon ET. "All we care about...

Most of the time, the vast majority of Americans simply do not care about economics. And it pains me to say that, because I have been running a website about economics for more than a decade. But it is true. Under normal circumstances, most hard working Americans don’t have the time or the energy to debate the finer points of economic policy. But now things have changed. Here in 2022, our leaders have messed things up so badly that suddenly just about everyone is feeling the pain. Most people just want economic conditions to “return to normal”, but that isn’t...

Burger King is removing its iconic Whopper sandwich from its discount menu, and its parent company plans to raise prices across the board to offset higher cost Given inflationary pressures, Tom Curtis, the president of Burger King's North America operations, said on an earnings call Tuesday that the burger chain lifted "some price caps on some selected items" and "removed Whopper from our core discount" menu. However, he acknowledged that the burger – a quarter-pound flame-grilled beef patty – is its "strongest brand equity" that is core to its growth. With that in mind, the brand will still look for...

A kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out something exciting and relate it to the class the next day. When the time came to present what they'd found, the first little boy the teacher called on walked up to the front of the class, and with a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard and sat back down. Puzzled, the teacher asked him what it was. 'It's a period,' he replied. 'I can see that,' said the teacher, 'but what is so exciting about a period?' 'Darned if I know,' chirped the little boy...
