IPray For The Peace of JerusalemRevelation 5The Scroll and the Lamb 5 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. 4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll...

Three members of a Ukrainian family were charged with hate crimes after allegedly brutally beating a gay man and leaving him blind. Inna Makarenko, 44, Yevhen Makarenko, 43, and Oleh Makarenko, 21, were each charged with attempted first-degree murder, battery during the burglary of a dwelling and kidnapping, according to the Broward State Attorney's Office.

The couple's other son, Vladylav Makarenko, 25, was arrested in Alabama and extradited to the Broward County Jail on Monday, prosecutors said. He also has been...

Abortions are violent acts ending in death. The badly named "mainstream media" loves them. The Washington Post, which claims to hate things "dying in darkness," boasted Sunday of a new pro-abortion law passed in Maryland over the veto of Republican Gov. Larry Hogan. Reporters Erin Cox and Ovetta Wiggins gushed, "The new law puts Maryland at the vanguard of abortion rights nationwide, expanding access and requiring most insurance policies to cover the entire cost of the procedure." The Post described this as "abortion protections." Their Orwellian terminology betrays their love of abortion. These laws "protect" the murder of unborn children,...

The survivors of Tuesday morning's subway attack in Brooklyn have described how they sat next to the gunman as he pulled an ax and gun from his duffel bag before he threw a smoke grenade and fired 33 shots, leaving 10 people injured with bullet wounds. A witness said the suspect said 'Oops, my bad', as he opened one of his gas tanks and filled the subway car with smoke when it was between stations, before he pulled out his weapons and opened fire. A multi-state manhunt is now underway for Frank James, 62, who is a 'person of interest'...

Bookstores now sell only certain kinds of children's books. "Go into Barnes & Noble," says Bethany Mandel in my new video, "and you will be met with a wall of biographies. Probably 27 different books about former Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Great. A ton about Kamala Harris. Great." But where are the biographies on conservatives? There weren't any. She found lots on people like Hillary Clinton, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren and Rachel Carson, but not one on conservatives like Margaret Thatcher or Amy Coney Barrett. "It's time to bring those books to the market because Lord knows the...

The U.S. Senate confirmed nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson on April 7, 2022. When Justice Stephen Breyer finally retires, she will be the 116th justice on the Supreme Court. Republicans took the high road and did not attack Judge Jackson as the Democrats have done during hearings for Republican nominees. There were no accusers coming out of the woodwork to smear the judge nor highlight what was in her high school yearbook. That was good. Republicans did try to get answers to substantive questions, but to little avail. Judge Jackson stayed silent, mostly, about the Constitution, much as she stayed silent...

Amy Wax, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania, said Black people harbored "resentment" over Western achievements in a viral interview with Fox Nation host Tucker Carlson. The controversial lecturer said on Tucker Carlson Today on Friday: "I think there is just a tremendous amount of resentment and shame of non-Western peoples against Western peoples for Western peoples' outsized achievements and contributions. I mean, it's really unbearable. "Leaving aside American Blacks, who I think do feel that resentment and shame and envy. I mean it is this unholy brew of sentiments." In 2019, a Pew Research Center study found...

It seems that no one can ever do quite enough to satisfy the demands of professional complainers. Not even Elon Musk, world-famous promoter of electric vehicles. He was met rudely by protesters at the grand opening of his Tesla assembly plant, just outside Berlin, during recent ceremonies: "...it [the plant] has faced opposition and some environmental activists blocked the factory’s entrance while displaying banners flagging its high water use…” All said and done, it should become clear to various parties that the newer generation of electric vehicles is no better, environmentally speaking, than late-model automobiles powered by the much-maligned internal...

Does anybody still think totalitarianism can't happen here? Ask yourself how many of these steps we've already galloped past. (1) Destruction of ReligionAny belief in a higher power is threatening to the State. If there is a "higher law" that takes precedence over government orders, then personal morality is a justifiable reason for disobeying the State. America's founding was a product of the Enlightenment's understanding that natural rights and liberties exist apart from and superior to the State's edicts. These God-given rights, some of which are recorded in the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution as the Bill of...

In his address, the Belarusian President mentioned the Bucha incident and added that he discussed the same...

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has warned that Europe is about to witness the biggest tank battle on the continent since World War II. In a speech during a press conference with Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo on Monday, Morawiecki said a tank battle in Ukraine is "imminent," as reported by Bloomberg. Morawiecki then called for EU member states to offer more military support to Kyiv, as international observers expect Russia to launch an attack in the eastern region of Donbas soon. "The most decisive battle is about to begin, and at the same time the largest tank battle...

He makes it within 5 miles of Platt and his wife and suddenly comes under artillery fire. He is forced to abort the rescue. Stern tries again and again. Finally, one morning at 4 o'clock, Platt gets a text message from him. "Be ready to leave in 20 minutes." Under the cover of darkness, Platt, his wife and two of their six cats take logging trails through a national forest out of their suburb. They make it out. "The whole two, three weeks we were stuck, artillery, mortar fire, it was falling all around us," Platt told NPR after crossing...

US President Joe Biden on Tuesday received an unwelcomed surprise in Iowa when a bird appeared to poop on his suit as he delivered his speech on inflation and the state of the American economy. According to a viral video on social media, Mr Biden was unveiling plans to trim gas prices and “putting rural America at the centre of our efforts to build a future that's made in America” when a white substance fell on his jacket - right above his American flag pin. “It's about being made in America,” the US President said moments prior to the poop...

Pressure was mounting on Germany to up its game over the war in Ukraine on Tuesday as Kyiv snubbed the country's president and Chancellor Olaf Scholz was accused of a weak response to the crisis. On a visit to Poland, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier admitted he had offered to visit Ukraine with other EU leaders, but Kyiv had told him he was not welcome right now. "I was prepared to do this, but apparently, and I must take note of this, this was not wanted in Kyiv," Steinmeier told reporters. Steinmeier, a former foreign minister, has faced growing criticism since Russia...

The nonprofit Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) now promises it will refrain from funding midterm elections in the fall. However, CTCL also announced on Monday its “nonpartisan collaborative” to “help local election departments improve operations, develop a set of shared standards and values, and obtain access to best-in-class resources to run successful elections.” CTCL benefitted from approximately $350 million in donations from the Chan-Zuckerberg Foundation, helping the 2020 Biden win in critical cities across the nation. Much of the money was sent to democrat strongholds in swing states, distributed in the form of grants. In the end, however,...
