The expired deadline for accepting nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize should be extended so Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky can be considered for the award, a group of European politicians have said. The Nobel Committee has been sent an appeal to re-open the nomination procedure and push the deadline of January 31 to March 31, so that Zelensky and the people of Ukraine can be considered for the award. "Although we are aware that this is a break with procedure, we do believe it is justified by the current unprecedented situation," said the letter signed by 36 past and present...

There are few things worse than a teacher who masturbates in front of students. One thing is a teacher who is allowed to do it more than once. Welcome to New Jersey. Where Richard Dunn was being investigated for one "lewd" incident in a classroom when he was allowed back into a different classroom where it happened again. Yes, I see that the masturbating teaching came from Nutley. Dunn was being investigated for TWO separate incidences. The first one was at a middle school. Then, a month and a half later, there was a second "inappropriate" incident for which he...

Old Joe Biden watched Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s address to Congress Wednesday and pronounced the Ukrainian president “convincing.” Biden said that “Putin is inflicting appalling — appalling devastation and horror on Ukraine — bombing apartment buildings, maternity wards, hospitals. I mean, it’s — it’s God awful.” As a result, “We are crippling Putin’s economy with punishing sanctions that’s going to only grow more painful over time with the entire NATO and EU behind us, and many other countries.” The old man boasted that “the American people are answering President Zelenskyy’s call for more help, more weapons for Ukraine to defend itself, more...

If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that...

Democrats refer to Florida’s HB 1557 — the Parental Rights in Education bill — as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, and the media has largely obliged when it comes to helping spread that talking point. However, some media outlets obviously aren’t content with simply helping spread the Dem narrative and are taking activist positions. Case-in-point: The editorial board of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, which says Gov. DeSantis is being irresponsible for not firing his press secretary, Christina Pushaw, for the apparent crime of hurting their feelings: TWEET Wow, Dems and the media are determined to die on this particular hill…...

A bill limiting the way schools can conduct active shooter lockdown drills was signed into law on Thursday by Gov. Jay Inslee. HB 1941 makes it so that schools in Washington cannot conduct drills involving “live simulations or reenactments of active shooter scenarios that are not trauma-informed and age and developmentally appropriate.” That means that students, teachers, and school staff must be alerted to any drills related to school shooting safety beforehand and that drills cannot directly mimic the presence of a shooter on school grounds, instead, focusing on basic lockdown procedures. The bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Amy Walen, points...

Today, after dismissing the scandalous content on Hunter Biden’s laptop as ‘Russian disinformation’, the mainstream media was forced to acknowledge that emails obtained from Hunter’s abandoned laptop were authentic. In the weeks leading up to the election, people were forbidden from sharing the contents of the laptop or sharing news stories about it on Twitter and other social media websites. Leading Democratic politicians such as Jen Psaki and Adam Schiff claimed the entire scandal was cooked up by Russia to discredit President Biden. President Trump took a victory lap when taking questions from the press this afternoon, attacking both Joe...

Classic car ownership is an extremely rewarding hobby, but it can also be expensive and time-consuming when it comes to keeping the vehicle safe and reliable. EV conversions have become increasingly popular with people who want most of the pleasures of vintage metal without the drawbacks. But what if the conversion concerns a classic Ferrari? Welcome to Electric Classic Cars which is removing a Ferrari V12 from a 1980s Testarossa to install an electric powertrain to create the “Teslarossa”, but is this really the solution to classic car ownership woes? Electric Classic Cars’ workshop is located in the UK, and...

The Bible In Paintings 2 ENCOURAGEMENT FOR APPRECIATING AND APPLYING GOD'S MESSAGE LEVITICUS CHAPTER 8 The LORD said to Moses, “Bring Aaron and his sons, their garments, the anointing oil, the bull for the sin offering, the two rams and the basket containing bread made without yeast, and gather the entire assembly at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.” Moses did as the LORD commanded him, and the assembly gathered at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Moses said to the assembly, “This is what the LORD has commanded to be done.” Then Moses brought Aaron and...

Nebraska Senator Megan Hunt Says Owning Guns Isn't a God Given RightSuper "woke" Nebraska senator Megan Hunt tweets, "Owning a gun isn't a "God-given right." It's a slave-owning, misogynistic founding father-given right. I'm not against 2a, but be real - the Constitution was written by people! Today I'm filibustering a bill that would allow concealed carry without training or a permit. #NELeg" There's nothing more annoying than the super woke millennial Karen. People like Megan Hunt don't see people as humans they see people as nothing more than a walking talking canvas of Identity politics. Megan Hunt attempts to point...

The Ford Maverick Is A Great Truck — It's Also Part Of The Problem. Image: Ford Nobody can build vehicles quickly enough, but Ford’s especially feeling the pinch with the Maverick. The manufacturer paused new orders on its hot compact pickup until the summer because it needs to prioritize fulfilling reservations already placed. And listen — in spite of the headline up there that I’m well aware some of you are sharpening your axes over as you read this, let me just say that I get it. As a technical achievement, the Maverick deserves praise. A small truck that...

Conservative America had better wake up, and quickly! Those who are (rightly) sick and tired of being betrayed by RINOs, at critical junctures where collaboration with the left is often the deciding factor between winning and losing, need to take decisive action on several fronts. The only alternative is to consign ourselves to RINO treachery as an inescapable fate. We are in a position to make significant changes, but the window of opportunity will not stay open for long. The goal of the RINO “Establishment,” come the General Election, is to always leave conservatives facing a choice between an insipid...

Konstantyn Batozsky believes he is on a list of so-called “neo-Nazis” to be rounded up “Gestapo-style” and “exterminated” by Russian forces seeking to enter Kyiv. Batozsky, a Jew from eastern Ukraine, said he was informed about the “bounty on his head” by Ukrainian intelligence sources. But as a longtime and avowed Ukrainian nationalist who has collaborated with a paramilitary group that has a reputation for including extremists, he knows that it’s people like him that Russian President Vladimir Putin was talking about when he cited a need for “denazification” as a pretext for invading his country. “I have been staying...
