"And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: "Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts." "Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:...

...Eric Bourne and Stephen Carpenter, who are both stewards on a polar research ship RRS Sir David Attenborough, tied the knot on Sunday, becoming the first same-sex couple to wed in the British Antarctic Territory (BAT) of Antarctica.

"Once war is forced upon us, there is no alternative than to apply every available means to bring it to a swift end. War's very object is victory -- not prolonged indecision." So said Gen. Douglas MacArthur in his April 1951 address to Congress after being fired by President Harry Truman as commander in chief in the Korean War. And what is now America's goal with our massive infusion into the Ukraine war of new and heavier NATO weapons? Said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on his return from a Sunday meeting in Kyiv with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy: The United States...

The world’s richest man went from liberating Twitter to blasting leftist extremism. Someone break out the popcorn. Wait But Why blog website founder Tim Urban retweeted a meme graph shared by Tesla CEO Elon Musk illustrating the current political divide in the country. The graph showed that as liberals pushed farther left, traditional liberals were left behind and now considered right-wing. Urban said in part that “the left is in a sense being held hostage by their extreme wing, making a lot of people who enthusiastically voted for Obama feel politically homeless today.” Musk, in response, went for the jugular:...

Justice Department now hiding contents of communications, claiming they are protected by attorney privileges, according to memo released under FOIA. =============================================================================== The Biden Justice Department coordinated its legal assault on Georgia's election integrity law last year with several liberal advocacy groups, and is now trying to conceal the content of their communications by claiming they are covered by legal privileges. Emails and memos obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and reviewed by Just the News show extensive communications between DOJ officials and some of the biggest names in the liberal legal advocacy...

Marine animals could die off at a level rivaling the biggest mass extinctions in geologic history if people don’t curb greenhouse gas emissions. That’s the takeaway from a study published Thursday in the journal Science, which found that many ocean creatures could face conditions too warm and with too little oxygen to survive if we don't turn things around. The more warming, the fewer species are likely to survive, the results show. The new analysis applies what the research team previously learned about the "Great Dying" 252 million years ago — when more than two-thirds of all marine life in...

Scary footage from a home camera shows the moment a couple and their dog were chased back into their house by an angry black bear. On Tuesday, in Apopka, Florida, the couple had just stepped outside with their dog. 'We were letting the dog out to potty and a bear charged us from our next-door neighbor's house,' said the woman who lives there with her husband.

The new poll found that 49 percent of likely voters would vote for Republicans if the elections were held today, versus just 39 percent who said they would pull the lever for the Democrat candidate. In a previous poll released by The Federalist in February, Republicans had a 47-41 lead in the generic ballot test. Additionally, the new poll found widespread support for anti-groomer laws and Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover...

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemRevelation 15Seven Angels With Seven Plagues 15 I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed. 2 And I saw what looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and its image and over the number of its name. They held harps given them by God 3 and sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb: “Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God...

The group of teens attacking people for no reason strikes again. This time it happened on the Boston Common. According to a police report, two Suffolk University students were attacked when they were trying to intervene and stop a woman from being harassed by the juveniles. This latest attack happened around 6:30 Wednesday evening. The students told police they were walking toward the Earl of Sandwich when they saw five teens start to harass a woman with her child. A juvenile female, who police say seems to be the instigator, starts shouting things at the woman. Then according to the...

The impending acquisition of Twitter by the world's wealthiest person, Elon Musk, is one of the most improbable developments out of the business world -- and, indeed, the political world -- in decades. Though a fairly modest percentage of adult Americans use Twitter, at least when compared with more popular social media outlets like Facebook and Instagram, the platform is disproportionately influential in shaping the news cycle and driving current events. Much like a major newspaper outlet, then, the composition of Twitter's ownership matters, even if it matters more for social than for purely financial reasons. Musk is famously inscrutable...

1814 American sloop USS Peacock and HMS Epervier engage in battle. Peacock takes two 32-pound shots in her fore-yard with the first exchange, but her return broadside smashes most of Eperviers rigging and guns. After 45 minutes, Epervier is captured. The battle is hailed as a tribute of American gunnery as Epervier has 45 shot holes in her port side.

Harris tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of meetings at the White House Tuesday morning, and is not considered a close contact of President Joe Biden. Harris had been scheduled to receive her intelligence briefing at the White House alongside Biden, but tested positive on a rapid test and a PCR test ahead of that meeting. She did not participate in any events or meetings at the White House on Tuesday, according to a White House official. As part of her treatment, Harris has the covid antiviral pill, Pfizer’s Paxlovid. Under conditions of the Food and Drug Administration’s emergency use authorization...

You didn’t think they’d go without a fight, did you? As liberals go through the five stages of grief over Elon Musk buying Twitter the Bidenazis are preparing for a war against free speech. They need to control the narrative in order to blunt the coming November massacre and as we’ve noted, to the Bidenazis free speech is a threat to democracy. To combat the specter of true free speech on the Twitter platform, the Bidenazis have formed something called the ‘Disinformation Governance Board.’ The ostensible reason for its creation is to counter online “misinformation.” Alejandro Mayorkas, the Director of...

FORTRESS MONROE, Sunday, April 27, Via BALTIMORE, Monday, April 28. Five contrabands left Portsmouth, opposite Norfolk, at 1 o'clock last night, and arrived here this morning. They bring several late papers and much valuable information. They are intelligent men, and give interesting accounts of affairs in the vicinity of Norfolk. They confirm the reported capture of New-Orleans by our forces, and state that much excitement prevails in the South regarding it. I send extracts from the Richmond Enquirer of the 26th, in which the appearance of the National gunboats before New-Orleans is announced. [The following telegram announcing the fall of...

A leap in America’s trade deficit during the first quarter pushed US GDP down at a 1.4% annual rate, the Commerce Department reported April 28. The consensus forecast called for 1% growth. A massive increase in US imports knocked 3.2% off annualized GDP, reflecting America’s growing dependence on China. There is no historic precedent for a big economy living on imports from its declared strategic rival. America’s trade deficit in goods soared to $125 billion in March, or a record $1.5 trillion annual rate. America buys goods from the rest of the world and sells paper in return. As of...
