Satan is not just trying to silence the next generation. He is seeking to wipe it out, declaring an all-out war on our children. They are being slaughtered in the womb. They are being kidnapped and sold into sex slavery. They are being raped and abused and neglected and used. They are being brainwashed by their teachers and bullied by their peers. They are lost and lonely, depressed and suicidal. They cut themselves and kill themselves. Their innocence is being robbed and their security is being stolen. Without exaggeration, we can say that no generation in American history has been...

This is the nuclear target map for South Carolina, but remember, fallout can go anywhere or everywhere (and probably will). After you have looked at this map look at the Information for South Carolina that follows it.

U.S. assesses that morale is flagging in some Russian units, and that some Russian units have surrendered without a fight in Ukraine, a senior US defense official says

On March 1, 2022, the Wisconsin State Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections will hold an informational hearing on the Gableman 2020 Election Report featuring invited speakers Special Council and Former Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman and Attorney Eric Kaardal.

The most disparaged, defamed, and denigrated American President was, without doubt, Warren G. Harding, who served as the 29th President from 1921-1923. Leftwing historians and journalists have tarnished his reputation for a century, making it one of the great tragedies of American history. Liberals have called him the worst president ever, dead last, unfit, corrupt, immoral, incompetent, inept, lazy, indecisive, shallow, an amiable fool, and a notorious womanizer. Sadly, such judgments of Harding are not exceptions; they are the rule. Historian Nathan Miller, author of Star-Spangled Men: America’s Ten Worst Presidents, wrote that Harding was “a prime example of incompetence,...

But while Putin’s determination to reclaim the Soviet empire and Russia’s sphere of influence may be delusional, it is not insane. In fact, Putin’s actions, while seemingly irrational, are consistent. And until now, his egregious violations of international law and human rights have been successful.

Smoking cannabis may result in an acceleration of the biological aging process, according to a new study in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence. After analyzing the epigenomes of 154 people in the US, the researchers found that by the time they hit 30, regular stoners tend to display patterns of genetic activation that are beyond their years. It is well established that the speed at which we age is not dependent solely upon Father Time, and that environmental factors play a key role in determining our rate of maturation. These external influences bring about changes in the expression of...

The Yilan crater. (NASA Earth Observatory/Lauren Dauphin/Landsat data/USGS) A crescent-shaped crater in Northeast China holds the record as the largest impact crater on Earth that formed in the last 100,000 years. Prior to 2020, the only other impact crater ever discovered in China was found in Xiuyan county of the coastal province of Liaoning, according to a statement from the NASA Earth Observatory. Then, in July 2021, scientists confirmed that a geological structure in the Lesser Xing'an mountain range had formed as a result of a space rock striking Earth. The team published a description of the newfound impact crater...

On Monday, a former business partner of Hunter Biden named Devon Archer has been sentenced to over a year in prison for his involvement in a scheme to defraud a Native American tribe of over $60 billion in bonds. Not surprisingly, all three evening newscasts completely ignored this news of the President’s son’s business partner going to federal prison. While ignoring this report, ABC’s World News Tonight, CBS Evening News & NBC Nightly News did all have time to hyperventilate over global warming, while CBS also had additional time to report on a mail truck that crashed off a bridge...

From Greg Burt, CFCSacramento, Calif. -- A Christian physician is suing the state of California in federal court lover a recently signed law that forces doctors to facilitate a terminally ill person’s desire to kill themselves. The lawsuit, filed last week by Alliance Defending Freedom and the Life Legal Defense Foundation, accuses the state of violating the First Amendment free speech and religious liberty rights of physicians by compelling them “to choose between abandoning their livelihoods or obeying government commands that violate their religious conscience and compel them to speak and act in ways that contravene their religious faith.” “California’s...

As often happens among the political class in Washington, we met on television debating each other. I liked him immediately, despite our political and even religious differences. Bob Beckel and I became friends and eventually more than friends. Twenty years ago, after debating a long-forgotten subject on Fox News Channel, we came back to the green room where I noticed a streak of sadness in his face. "Are you OK, Bob?" I asked. In what he would later describe as a rare moment of transparency, he said, "No, I'm not," and began to cry. I had never seen him like...

The Alabama Department of Revenue threatened to revoke an Oneonta man's vehicle registration if he does not relinquish a custom license plate containing an apparent insult to President Joe Biden. Nathan Kirk ordered the license plate in question when he bought a new Ford truck in October. The design of the license plate contains the words "Don't Tread on Me" along with the distinctive snake from the Gadsden flag. For the personalized portion of the license plate, Kirk chose the letters "LGBF JB." Many people deduced these letters were meant to stand for the anti-Biden phrases "Let's go, Brandon" and...

EU moves with unprecedented speed to welcome Ukraine into union, power grid The EU has accepted Ukraine’s application and has commenced a special admission procedure to integrate the country, Eastern European media has reported. The EU will also look to switch Ukraine over to its power grid in the coming weeks, further integrating the country into the European structure.

Nairobi (AFP) – Wealthy countries should provide at least $60 billion every year to the world's poorest nations to combat biodiversity loss, an alliance of environment groups said Tuesday. The appeal by WWF, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and other green groups was launched on the sidelines of a major UN environment meeting in Nairobi. It comes ahead of key talks for a UN biodiversity summit to be held in China that will see nations hammer out conservation targets for the next decade. The $60 billion (53.67 billion euros) would address "the disproportionate impact of wealthy country...

An agent representing a spate of Russian-born NHL players is seeking heightened security for his clients. Per TSN hockey insider Darren Dreger, agent Dan Milstein has called upon the NHL Players' Association and all NHL clubs with Russian-born players to provide additional security for those players in North America. Milstein cites "real threats" that have been made — both in-person and on social media — to his Russian-based clients amidst the international crisis developing in Eastern Europe, fueled by the Russian military's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine which has now reached day five. St. Louis Blues forward Ivan Barbashev, who is...

It happens to be Fat Tuesday, or Mardi Gras as the folks down my way call it. And in lots of places in South Louisiana and elsewhere along the Gulf Coast, there will be fair amounts of alcohol consumed in the final throes of the two-week carnival that precedes Lent. But Joe Biden is giving the State of the Union speech tonight. And there is nothing to party about where that subject is concerned. We’re in worse shape as a country than we’ve been since the early days of World War II, and if there is anything to be relieved...

For a few tense days in January of this year, astronomers were tracking a Near-Earth Object cruising towards Earth with its trajectory showing it hitting the planet in 2023, when it mysteriously changed course. The asteroid dubbed 2022 AE1 was on course to hit Earth on July 4, 2023, with astronomers predicting real damage to a local area. The asteroid was moving so fast that there was not enough time to attempt deflection and the European Space Agency (ESA) said that, worryingly, the chance of impact appeared to increase based on the first seven days of observations. The first observations...

Credit card giants Mastercard and Visa late Monday began blocking Russian banks from access to their networks. “As a result of sanction orders, we have blocked multiple financial institutions from the Mastercard payment network,” the company said in a statement. “We will continue to work with regulators in the days ahead to abide fully by our compliance obligations as they evolve.” Visa is reported to have taken similar action.

The messenger RNA (mRNA) from Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine is able to enter human liver cells and is converted into DNA, according to Swedish researchers at Lund University. The researchers found that when the mRNA vaccine enters the human liver cells, it triggers the cell’s DNA, which is inside the nucleus, to increase the production of the LINE-1 gene expression to make mRNA. The mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cell’s cytoplasm where it translates into LINE-1 protein. A segment of the protein called the open reading frame-1, or ORF-1, then goes back into the nucleus where it attaches...
