Sixteen people have been wounded in shootings across Chicago since Friday evening, including a man killed while on a porch in Stony Island Park on the South Side. He was sitting on a porch about 8:30 p.m. Friday in the 8400 block of South Bennett Avenue when someone opened fire, striking him multiple times, Chicago police said. Later, a man was killed in a drive-by shooting late Friday night in the Near West Side.

The Bible In Paintings 2 ENCOURAGEMENT FOR APPRECIATING AND APPLYING GOD'S MESSAGE 1st KINGS CHAPTERS 16-17 Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria over Israel twenty-two years. AHAB DID MORE EVIL IN THE EYES OF THE LORD THAN ANY OF THOSE BEFORE HIM. He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal and worship him. He set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he built in Samaria. AHAB...

Establishment Republican Jen Kiggans is literally running from her pro-trans voting record in a new campaign ad ahead of her June 21st primary in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District. Throughout the primary campaign, Kiggans has tried to duck her left-wing State Senate voting record, which includes support for Democrat legislation opening girls’ bathrooms up to men and fundamentally re-writing the Virginia Human Rights Act in the image of the LGBT lobby. Jen Kiggans starts her new campaign ad running down a neighborhood street, giving the impression that she’s quite literally running from her far-left, pro-trans voting record as she speaks against...

Mohamed El-Erian, a Blooomberg Opinion contributor, cracks me up in his efforts to avoid speaking directly. Generally, El-Erian knows the situation, he was one of the first to identify the issue with inflation in March 2021. However, he continues avoiding any mention that the U.S. economy is already in a negative position for growth. Consider this…. In this interview El-Erian says he believes the Fed will flip-flop and lower rates in reaction to what is happening in the economy. Keep in mind, the only reason for the Fed to reverse rates so quickly is if the economy is already in...

He was also the Gay-Straight Alliance group’s teacher liaison and assistant water polo coach at the school. Due to...

‘We are being governed by members of a global lobby of criminal conspirators who tell us directly that their plan is to eliminate us, and the whole time we are sitting here wondering why we have to wear masks on buses and not in restaurants.’

Democrats are not dumb. Question is, are Republicans smart? Put another way, will GOP voters in Virginia’s 2nd District fall for an underhanded and malicious campaign by far-left political action committees and be suckered into voting for an unelectable extreme candidate in Tuesdays’ primary? Let’s hope not. Democrat Elaine Luria needs to go. Luria, a left-winger who masquerades as a congressional moderate at election time, is in very real danger of losing her seat in November’s mid-terms. Proof of that is the expensive disinformation campaign being waged on her behalf by murky PACs that are lying about the record of...

In my 16 years as an alternative economist and political writer I have spent around half that time warning that the ultimate outcome of the Federal Reserve’s stimulus model would be a stagflationary collapse. Not a deflationary collapse, or an inflationary collapse, but a stagflationary collapse. The reasons for this were very specific – Mass debt creation was being countered with MORE debt creation while many central banks have been simultaneously devaluing their currencies through QE measures. On top of that, the US is in the unique position of relying on the world reserve status of the dollar and that...

Some asylum claimants who arrived in the UK in small boats or in the back of lorries could be electronically tagged under a new Home Office trial. A 12-month trial could apply to adults due to be removed from the UK after arriving via what the government calls "dangerous or unnecessary" routes. Boris Johnson said it was important to "make sure asylum seekers can't just vanish into the rest of the country". Critics say the plan treats those fleeing persecution as criminals. The pilot comes days after the first flight taking asylum seekers from the UK to Rwanda was cancelled...

A month or so ago, Netflix CEO Ted Serandos took a lot of criticism from the LGBTQIA+ community for saying Netflix was going to support its creators’ right to free speech. The criticism began with a Netflix special starring comedian Dave Chappelle, containing humor that some have claimed is offensive to gay and trans people. It continued with the release of Ricky Gervais’s new special Supernature, which features similar critiques of gender ideology. Serandos’s response to employee complaints included sending an internal memo last month stating that if employees had a problem with Netflix’s “breadth of content,” then perhaps they...

As the post-pandemic recovery chugs along, the global economy is set to see major changes in the coming decades. Most significantly, China is forecast to pass the United States to become the largest economy globally. The world’s economic center has long been drifting from Europe and North America over to Asia. This global shift was kickstarted by lowered trade barriers and greater economic freedom, which attracted foreign direct investment (FDI). Another major driving factor was the improvements in infrastructure and communications, and a general increase in economic complexity in the region. Visual Capitlaist’s visualization uses data from the 13th edition...

Drag queens are the ultimate symbol of disrespect for women. In a speech at an education summit on June 15, 2022, Dana Nessel, Michigan attorney general, described the outrage over drag queen shows for children as “fake issues” that are divisive. She said, “drag queens are fun” and “make everything better.” She asserted that drag queens are entertainment, then mocking the angry conservatives said that she was in favor of “a drag queen in every school.” This statement was supposedly a joke. Yeah, right, very funny. Drag queens are the ultimate symbol of disrespect for women. Men portray women as...

The Weekly Gardening Thread is a weekly gathering of folks that love soil, seeds and plants of all kinds. From complete newbies that are looking to start that first potted plant, to gardeners with some acreage, to Master Gardener level and beyond, we would love to hear from you. If you have specific question about a plant/problem you are having, please remember to state the Growing Zone where you are located. This thread is a non-political respite. No matter what, you won’t be flamed, and the only dumb question is the one that isn’t asked. It is impossible to hijack...

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis staked his claim Thursday as the first governor in America not to provide state support for vaccinating younger kids against COVID-19. DeSantis stressed at an event Thursday that parents can still vaccinate their young children. Even though the state will not be working with the federal government to distribute the vaccine, that doesn’t mean it is banned, according to DeSantis. “You are free to choose — that’s not the issue,” he said.

The EU’s interests rest in de-escalating the Ukrainian Conflict so that their companies can quickly get to work economically colonizing that country via the scheme that Zelensky proposed during last month’s Davos Summit for them “to take patronage over a particular region of Ukraine, city, community or industry.” Former US President Trump just made a strong point about the EU’s participation in the NATO proxy war on Russia through Ukraine when he said the following: “We just gave $40 billion on top of another $16 billion. So, we’re in for $56 billion. But when you look at Europe – and...

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemGenesis 22Abraham Tested 22 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. 2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.” 3 Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had...

Democrats seem unable or unwilling to learn that We No Longer Trust Them. In 1955, Pete Seeger released the iconic song, "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?," which railed against the Vietnam War. A line frequently reprised in the song resonates with today's Democrat party: "When will they ever learn?" Progressive Democrats are currently in positions of authority in the White House, halls of Congress, federal agencies, school systems, large corporations, and the legacy media. Using a fabricated COVID crisis as a bludgeon, progressives justified an unconstitutional power-grab with statements we know were and are lies. Nonetheless, they expect Americans...
