The New York Times decided to publish a guest essay heavily criticizing God on Good Friday and the start of Passover. Shalom Auslander composed a piece insisting that this Passover, we should stop paying attention to God: "In this time of war and violence, of oppression and suffering, I propose we pass over something else: God," he began, before claiming God is "hateful," full of "brutality," and, if mortal, "would be dragged to the Hague." Auslander criticized God whose "wrath" and "plagues" harnessed against the Egyptians during the original Passover story from the Book of Exodus, remind him of what...

The Pennsylvania state Senate passed legislation on Wednesday prohibiting ballot drop boxes and private funds used to manage elections. By a narrow margin of 29-20, the chamber advanced Senate Bill 1200 to eliminate the use of drive-through ballot returns. The revised election code will “require an elector choosing to return a ballot to a county board of elections, return it to an employee.” However, the employee whom the voter chooses must be “located in the county seat of the county board of elections.” Moreover, if a constituent cannot submit the ballot personally, the board of elections will grant an absentee...

Stacey Abrams has increased her net worth by over 3,000 times in a couple of years. How did this happen? In the age of corruption and stolen elections, Stacey Abrams may have eaten the cake. Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has become a millionaire. Abrams is worth $3.17 million, according to the state disclosures she filed in March, The Associated Press reported Tuesday. When she first ran for the Georgia governorship in 2018, Abrams was dealing with a “hefty bill from the IRS” and was worth only $109,000, the outlet noted. The “hefty” tax bill from the IRS was...

Billionaire Clive Palmer's leadership of the United Australia Party is bringing unique conservative voices into politics. Ingram Spencer is one such guy. He is a man who is both devoted to acknowledging the supremacy of God's will while seeing that, in human affairs, freedom works and tyranny doesn't. His opponent in the electorate of Higgins is Katie Allen, a doctor whose "service" to the people includes lecturing them on the "etiquette" of masks. God save us from such women. God bless Ingram Spencer.

The Justice Department’s new focus in the Jan. 6 investigation on the “Stop the Steal” rally will present prosecutors with new legal challenges. Nearly all of the defendants who have been charged in connection to the Capitol riot so far entered the building or otherwise participated in the mayhem that day. Targeting those who organized the preceding rally would shift prosecutors’ scrutiny to figures who had little or no direct involvement with the violence that was carried out at the Capitol but may nonetheless have been working to prevent Congress from certifying President Biden’s election win. The expanded investigation will...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jQSTHvD2z1c Scott Ritter Part 2 In the video above he rants for an hour, persuasively making the following points: 1.Russia is winning 2.Russia is not at war with Ukraine as it is only a Special Military Operation. He points out in real war (as in Iraq) you immediately take out all communication, transportation, and critical industrial infrastructure. Russia is purposely going in soft so as to minimize harm to Ukrainian citizens. 3.Bucha atrocities were committed by Ukrainian soldiers who killed Russian sympathizers. 4.The attacks on Odessa and Kiev were not unsuccessful- they were never the true targets, but rather attempts...

‘This administration has decided to make leasing and production a political football, and Americans are paying the price at the pump.’ The Department of Interior announced in the early hours of Easter weekend the administration will be resuming oil and gas leases on federal lands after a federal judge ordered their resumption last summer. President Joe Biden suspended new federal oil and gas leases on public lands on his first day in office, actively suppressing production since his inauguration. Roughly 144,000 acres will be auctioned off for drilling, an 80 percent drop from what was under evaluation, according to a...

A Senate Democrat said that the U.S. needs to discuss sending American troops to Ukraine — arguing that Vladimir Putin “will only stop when we stop him.” Appearing on Face the Nation Sunday, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) was confronted by CBS’s Margaret Brennan about comments he made earlier in the week in which he argued the U.S. needs to figure out when it would be willing to send armed forces to Ukraine. “We are in a very dangerous moment where it is important that on a bipartisan and measured way we in Congress and the administration come to a common...

Did ya hear? Philly’s masking up … again. Seriously. When I tell this to others who live elsewhere they think I’m joking. But it’s no joke. On Monday, April 11, the Philadelphia Department of Health, with Mayor Jim Kenney’s approval, said it would require masks to be worn inside public places starting April 18. That includes thousands of small retailers and restaurants still reeling from the pandemic recession, high inflation and lack of labor. It’s no matter that the city averaged 8.7 new cases per day per 100,000 residents over the past seven days, representing 139 total new cases in...

I've used pretty much every desktop out there, and the Linux desktop is still the best of the best. I've been working with desktop computers since CP/M-80 was the operating system of the day. Since then, I've used MS-DOS, Windows, OS/2, AmigaOS, System 7, macOS, Xenix, SCO OpenDesktop, and more versions of Linux than you can shake a stick at. Even today, I have Windows 10 and 11 and macOS running on test boxes. But what I run on my production PCs and laptops is Linux. Here's why.First, long before there were PCs, I was running Unix on minicomputers. My...
