A few days ago, I suggested that a climate change class action lawsuit should be filed against those parties that clamor to destroy the economy via a Green Agenda that seeks to ban fossil fuels. Some commenters raised an interesting point: How do you prove damages? I think it’s possible and would serve as a good basis for any legal complaint. The Green Agenda is supported in part or full by the following parties: federal, state, and local governments; universities; Green NGOs; foundations; corporations; renewable proponents/owners; and entrepreneurs. A court could determine if these entities are correct that anthropogenic climate...

Mortgage rates have increased dramatically under “Middle Class Joe” as The Federal Reserve attempts to choke-off inflation caused by … The Fed coupled with Biden’s energy policies (hope you are enjoying those high gasoline and diesel prices!) and the Federal government’s staggering spending spree under Pelosi, Schumer and McConnell. Thus far, The Federal Reserve has leveled-out out their Treasury Note and Bond purchases, increased their Agency Mortgage-backed Securities (AgMBS) holdings, but strangely have reduced their holding of Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) in the face of rising inflation. And while The Fed Funds Target rate is a lowly 1%, it is...

Members of Ukraine's National Guard have destroyed a piece of heavy artillery used by the Russian invasion forces to blow up the Pavlohrad bridge and shell the town of Sievierodonetsk, Luhansk Governor Serhiy Haidai said in a Telegram post on May 21. According to Haidai, a television report by Russian propagandists "helped" to adjust the fire of Ukrainian defenders. "The punishment came instantly," Haidai said.

King Herod the Great, king of Judea in the second half of the first century BC, is well known for his grandiose building projects, abundant wealth, political power and relentless pursuit of the opulent Roman lifestyle. Among the few archaeological artifacts found which give a peek into his private life are two of his personal calcite-alabaster bathtubs found in the palace of Herodium and his Kypros fortress near Jericho.Though never scientifically tested, archaeologists have until now assumed that all calcite-alabaster vessels found in the Southern Levant (modern day Israel and Palestine) had been made with foreign alabaster mainly from Egypt....

Russian energy giant Gazprom said on Saturday it had suspended all gas deliveries to Finland after Helsinki refused to pay in roubles. Finnish state energy company Gasum did not accept the terms set by Moscow by the 20 May deadline, leading Gazprom to "completely stopped gas deliveries," the Russian group said in a statement. "As of 1 April, gas payments must be made in roubles using new bank details, which the partners were informed of in good time," Gazprom said.

No search results Former White House Press Secretary and future Peacock host Jen Psaki joined the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics (IOP) Wednesday for her first post-Team Biden interview and dished on her affinity for Peter Doocy, threats to her family (and not expressing concern for what Supreme Court justices have faced), some of her mistakes, and how a Hillary Clinton administration press office might have had less on-camera briefings. And during the Q&A portion, Psaki spared with a conservative student from the venerable Chicago Thinker over her encouragement of protests against the justices. IOP faculty members and far-left...

Baba Yaga is a witch figure who flies around Slavic folk stories...and lives in a hut that stands on chicken legs deep in the woods. Madame Pamita spoke to Religion News Service about Baba Yaga, traditional Slavic magic and how the author is using her magic to support the people of Ukraine amid Russia’s continuing invasion of the country. "In my experience of connecting deeply to her, I see her as a grandmother figure, but a tough grandma, or like a grandma who knows you can do more than you think you can, so she pushes you. In Slavic practices,...

With Russia claiming to have taken prisoner nearly 2,500 Ukrainian fighters from the besieged Mariupol steel plant, concerns grew about their fate as a Moscow-backed separatist leader vowed they would face tribunals....The Russian Defense Ministry released video of Ukrainian soldiers being detained after announcing that its forces had removed the last holdouts from the Mariupol plant’s extensive underground tunnels. It said a total of 2,439 had surrendered....Denis Pushilin, the pro-Kremlin head of an area of eastern Ukraine controlled by Moscow-backed separatists, said the captured fighters included some foreign nationals, though he did not provide details. He said they were sure...

As sex educators, we are deeply concerned about the recent effort to paint our work as “grooming” or “sexualizing” children. In fact, our goal is the exact opposite: to make sure children have the skills needed to repel the tactics used by predators. ...So the question of the moment is: How is sex education different from grooming? “My God! Why is that even a question?” (Rahel Bayar, a former sex crimes and child abuse prosecutor) laughed. “Grooming typically involves secrecy … which is one of the reasons why we teach the difference between secrets and surprises. Secrets have no ending...

Jesus is Lord, what does that mean to you. Well, Lord means supreme in authority, controller. So, there is no higher authority than the authority of Jesus. Look at what else it says about Jesus in Colossians 1:15-18 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by...

It really shouldn’t have surprised me, but I must confess that it did. This happened when I read Wikipedia’s description of the New World Order (NWO), quoted below: The New World Order (NWO) is a conspiracy theory which hypothesizes a secretly emerging totalitarian world government. How stupid do they think we are!? The days are long past when the Luciferian globalists of our day remain quiet about their plans to bring about this evil agenda. The world governments proposed by the UN’s Agenda 2030 and the Great Reset of the World Economic Forum (WEF) are open, public declarations of their...

I’ve mentioned some of the information that is in the opening comments of this article, but I believe this information is so important that it is impossible to say too much about it. The World Health Organization (WHO) will meet at the UN headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, from May 22-28, 2022, to consider 13 U.S. proposed amendments to a treaty that was adopted in 2005 called the International Health Regulations of 2005 (IHR). Because this treaty was adopted by the U.S. in 2005, the amendments will not have to be presented to the U.S. Senate for approval. Up until now,...

AUBURN, Ala. -- Alabama’s Republican primary for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby has become a bitter high-dollar contest with the three strongest contenders jockeying for the nomination. The leading candidates are U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks who won — and then lost — former President Donald Trump’s backing in the race; Katie Boyd Britt, the former leader of Business Council of Alabama and Shelby’s former chief of staff; and Mike Durant, an aerospace company owner best known as the helicopter pilot whose capture during a U.S. military mission in Somalia was chronicled in the...

ased on the barrage of television ads and mailers leading up to Tuesday's primary election in Arkansas, it's obvious who the most influential Republicans in the state are. Tom Cotton's making the case for fellow Sen. John Boozman, talking up his conservative bona fides while the two-term senator fends off challenges from the right. Donald Trump's image appears in ads for Boozman and for Sarah Sanders, who served as the former president's White House press secretary and is now running for governor. Sanders, whose endorsement is almost as sought after as Trump's, is helping make the closing argument for Boozman...

Illegal votes are far more dangerous than illegal guns. Illegal votes threaten the very structure of the United States. They place organized criminals and incompetents in power over the criminal justice system. At the national level, they can determine who controls the military and the intelligence services. This places all of society at risk.If you doubt illegal vote trafficking is a problem, see 2000Mules. It removes 95% of any doubt. Once a vote is paid for or leaves the proper chain of custody, it is an illegal vote.Trafficking in illegal votes has long been a feature in Democrat politics, particularly...
