VIDEOI caught a bad case of Minkeypox. That happened the first time I heard about Monkeypox and immediately associated it with Inspector Clouseau so that whenever I hear "Monkeypox" I think "Minkey." Yes, I suffer from Minkeypox and by watching this video so do you. You can never again watch a report on Monkeypox without thinking of "Minkey."

A 65-year-old Indiana pastor has stepped down from his role in the church after admitting he had an affair with a 16-year-old girl in front of his entire congregation. Pastor John Lowe II stepped down from the New Life Christian Church after being confronted on stage by Bobi Gephart, a 43-year-old woman who came forward with a microphone to tell their church in Warsaw, Indiana, how he'd groomed her as a teen, starting when she was 16 - the legal age of consent in the state. Pastor Lowe II had just told the church that he 'sinned' 20 years ago...

The average price of gasoline at the pump in the U.S. last week was $4.58 a gallon. It will doubtless spike up to $5.00 before too long as it is already above $6 in California. U.S. gas prices are cheap compared to Europe. If you fancy traveling to London for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the price is $5.79; if you love Paris in the springtime, it’s $5.54; and if you want to see the pope, Rome is $5.96. Some countries you might like to visit are even higher.

Marvel Comics will introduce two transgender mutant superheroes next month as part of a marketing campaign aimed at transgender and nonbinary children.

“‘“Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”’” (Matthew 6:10). God’s Word reveals three aspects of His will. First is His will of purpose—His sovereign, ultimate plan for the universe. “Surely, just as I [God] have intended so it has happened, and just as I have planned so it will stand” (Isa. 14:24; cf. Eph. 1:9–11). It has been within God’s purpose to allow sin to affect the world for a time. But that situation will end precisely according to His plan and foreknowledge. Within God’s will of purpose is His will of desire. This will is...

I have come to the conclusion that there aren’t a whole lot of people who identify as Christians first. The world should know that we’re Christ’s disciples because we love one another. Instead, it’s witnessing believers these days saying things like “I’m conservative” or “No, I’m left wing.” People accuse one another, saying, “Listen, you devil. I always knew you were a demon.” This is happening in the body of Christ. That dissension would happen in the world, among people who don’t know Christ, is to be expected. Satan is the god of this world. The Bible tells us that...

Henry Kissinger said that Ukraine must concede territory to Russia to end the war, and warned the West that a humiliating defeat for Russia could result in wider destabilisation. The legendary statesman, now 98, made the comments in a conference at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland Monday

CHICAGO - A homeowner on Chicago's Far South Side has a "Let’s Go Brandon" flag flying outside their home and because of their political beliefs, they believe someone tried to burn their house down. "This is aggravated arson, even attempted murder. This isn’t just politics," said Alan, a Beverly resident. The homeowner wants to remain anonymous, but he’s talking about an unknown male that almost demolished his home of 32 years. Alan was inside along with his wife and adult son. "It was bright orange in the widow," said Evan. "I tried to look out the backdoor and I saw...

For half a decade now, America's media elite have been obsessed with former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party's conversion to Trumpism. Press and TV are daily consumed with his actions and prospects and the future of the party he captured in 2016. Perhaps it is time to consider the prospects of President Joe Biden and the political future of his embattled presidency. What are the odds that Biden, like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama before him, will run again in 2024, win reelection, serve out a second term and transfer his office to the 47th president on Jan....

They were given many lashes and then thrown into prison, and the gaoler was told to keep a close watch on them. So, following his instructions, he threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks. Late that...

Just a thought on blue jeans. Out of curiosity, a guy went and bought some blue genes online. I have a challenge with box stores as they fail to carry my size. The Inseam is the most challenging, that would be a 29", not the tallest guy but can get it online in a couple days. Waist is a 31", again not found in my local stores. I want to shop local to support my businesses, 30 X 32"s was all that was available. It's all available online and in stock. The local businesses have no answer. Bought Levi's and...

Police departments facing more and more all-terrain vehicles, dirt bikes and motorcycles on the streets are using any tool possible to stem the illegal traffic. In Reading, that now includes smashing seized off-road vehicles. On May 12, for the first time, the city in Berks County had an excavator pulverize two dumpsters filled with ATVs and dirt bikes. The department filmed the destruction and posted it on its Facebook page, in part to send a message to drivers, Sgt. Mel Fegely said. There were varying responses from viewers. Some people were upset, and wanted to see the vehicles reused or...

As resident Joe Biden returns from a nearly meaningless trip to Korea and Japan, it's apparent everyone he addressed on his trip opposed the vicious genocide Vladimir Putin's Russian troops are perpetrating in Ukraine. If "mainstream media" reports are true, there were no questions about genocidal violence here in the United States. But Roe v. Wade really is about genocide. Should federal government agencies and courts decide how and/or when the life of a child should be "terminated"? Or should this matter be determined at the state and/or local level? These questions have created far greater controversy here in the...

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Sources tell WRAL News a proposed new name for Fort Bragg will be announced on Tuesday. (5/24/22) The Naming Commission is expected to make the announcement at 2 p.m. and answer questions. Fort Bragg is named for Gen. Braxton Bragg, who served in the Confederate army and owned a plantation where people were enslaved. Last year, Congress voted to mandate that military installations named after Confederate figures or sympathizers be renamed by 2023. The other bases that will be renamed include: Fort Benning, Ga. Fort Gordon, Ga. Fort Hood, Texas Fort A.P. Hill, Va. Fort Lee,...

United States Federal law 18 US Code 1503 in summary reads "whoever corruptly or by threats or force… endeavors to influence, intimidate, or impede any grand or petit juror, or officer in or of any court of the United States… in the discharge of his duty… influences, obstructs, or impedes, or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due administration of justice shall be punished." On May 2, a draft opinion leaked from the United States Supreme Court in an unprecedented breach of etiquette. It appears from that draft Roe v. Wade will likely be reversed, and the topic of...

The world’s political and economic elites have descended once more on Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum (WEF), after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. This year’s round of talks, which run from May 22 to 26, will deal with, among other topics, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, food shortages, climate change and inflation. As Statista’s Anna Fleck details below, according to data from The Global Consumer Survey, the latter issue is at the forefront of residents’ minds in several countries around the world.

Climate change is an existential threat that impacts not only our operations and readiness but also our infrastructure, our forces, and their families. Rising sea levels, recurring flooding, and more frequent and destructive hurricanes threaten our coastal installations. Changes in global climate and other dangerous trans-boundary threats, including pandemics, are only expected to worsen, posing increasing challenges for our forces, platforms, infrastructure, and supporting communities, and driving or intensifying conflict and humanitarian disasters around the world. The DON will adapt to these challenges that are increasingly putting pressure on our force and the systems that support it. To combat these...
