There's just not much President Joe Biden can do about it. There's not much he can do to curb inflation. There's not much he can do to stop migrants from reaching America's southern border. Or to reduce crime, or to make vaccine resisters get shots that would hasten the end of the coronavirus pandemic. There's not much he can do to compel cooperation from defectors within his thin Democratic congressional majorities. There is nothing at all he can do to compel it from Republican adversaries who would rather aggravate than alleviate his burdens. In other words, there's not much Biden...

A South Carolina judge set a $25,000 bond for a suspect in a mall shooting on Saturday that left 14 people injured, according to the Columbia Police Department. Jewayne Price, 22, will be on house arrest but allowed to travel to and from work while wearing an ankle monitor if he posts bond.

Make no doubt about it, there’s something seriously disturbing about the state of the recent Covid lockdowns taking place in Shanghai. Even for China. Here is what the outbreak looks like, if we are to believe the numbers coming out of China. You’ll have to excuse me for being frank, but I simply don’t believe them. China has lied about nearly everything since the beginning of the pandemic, and they certainly don’t have the rest of the world’s best interest in mind now that they are allying with Russia economically.

“‘Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you . . .’” (Matthew 5:23). Outward acts of worship are unacceptable to God as long as we harbor internal sin. They are particularly offensive if we retain a hateful attitude toward a brother and yet attempt to come before God. Worship is important for most religious people today. They can spend much time in places of worship, offering prayers, giving tithes, and doing all sorts of religious activities. But, as with the scribes and Pharisees, none of it is meaningful...

Gov. Ron DeSantis has governed like an extremist. He’s stoked racial animosity. He’s disregarded the 73,000-plus Floridians who have died from COVID-19. He’s scapegoated LGBTQ youth. He’s forced the state Legislature to cede power to him in the redrawing of congressional districts that likely diminish Black representation. He’s got autocratic tendencies, inflicting revenge on anyone who dares to disagree. DeSantis has not been punished politically — on the contrary, he’s benefited. For all the harm he’s done to the Sunshine State, DeSantis is meeting at least some voters where they are. Some even consider him the most powerful governor in...

Russia is worried about increased activity of NATO forces in the Arctic and sees risks of "unintended incidents" occurring in the region, TASS news agency cited Russian ambassador-at-large Nikolai Korchunov as saying on Sunday. In March, Finland and Sweden, which are both considering joining the U.S.-led military NATO alliance, conducted combined NATO military drills. The exercise was long planned, but Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24 added intensity to the war game. Moscow describes its actions in Ukraine as a "special military operation". "The recent increase in NATO's activity in the Arctic is a cause for concern. Another large-scale...

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...

A CROCODILE ATTACK in Australia shocked locals after the 60-year-old survivor explained he managed to escape the beast using only a pocket knife.A fisherman from Cape York, in North Queensland, Australia, feared for his life after he was assailed by a crocodile out of the blue. Aged 60, the gentleman was fishing on his property on the banks of a remote part of the McIvor River, near Hope Vale, last Wednesday. According to the survivor’s testimonial to the authorities, he noticed a bull was standing at an ideal casting location near the river. He attempted to shoo the bull away...

‘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...
