VIDEO Respect and thanks to America This is a war of darkness against light, not a conflict. Ukraine is on the side of light and truth. Russia lies and promotes goals of Communism. Scripture tells us to call black black and white white. Russia is an aggressor that created a propaganda system of its own lies, slandered the Ukrainians, and treacherously attacked a peaceful state. Ukraine is defending its national territory. Thousands of civilians and soldiers are dying from the aggressive actions of Russia. Please understand for us praying for peace between Ukraine and Russia is like: - pray for...

On Friday’s broadcast of “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks argued that the 2022 midterm elections are ultimately going to be about the state of the economy and not abortion. Brooks stated that the lasting electoral impact of the court’s ruling and the subsequent debate on abortion will be “Limited. I mean, it’ll mobilize some voters clearly in some places.” He added, “My feel is, the election’s going to be about inflation, about the economy. 83% of the country thinks the economy’s in bad shape. That’s an unprecedented number. And so, that’s just, I think, going to be...

The Texas Supreme Court reversed a lower court on Friday evening and allowed a pre-Roe 1925 law prohibiting abortions to go into effect. The state supreme court’s order is the latest addition in an ongoing feud between Texas government officials and abortion providers following the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Although the 1925 law prohibiting abortions was not enforced after Roe was decided in 1973, the law remained on the books. A Harris County judge temporarily blocked the abortion ban after abortion clinics sued. The abortion clinics argued the law was effectively repealed when the...

“‘Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits’” (Matthew 7:19–20). We can spot false prophets by the kind of people they attract. Their converts will have the same kind of superficial, self-centered, unbiblical orientation as they do. Of this sort of attraction Peter says, “Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned” (2 Peter 2:2). Many folks gravitate to false teachers because those men propagate what the majority of people want to hear and...

Savage rails against TV media ...and he is spot on !

Bette Midler has infuriated supporters of transgender rights by claiming that the word 'women' is 'being erased' in favor of woke terms such as 'birthing people' and 'menstruators'. The 76-year-old actress and gay icon tweeted on Monday: 'WOMEN OF THE WORLD! We are being stripped of our rights over our bodies, our lives and even of our name!' She added: 'They don't call us 'women' anymore; they call us 'birthing people' or 'menstruators', and even 'people with vaginas'! 'Don't let them erase you! Every human on earth owes you!' Midler's comments generated a swift reaction, with 11,000 retweets and 61,000...

Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore has written a July 4 blog post in which he says he cannot accept the privileges of 'full citizenship' until women's abortion rights in Roe v. Wade are reinstated and 'every single Republican is removed from office.' Moore, 68, said he was 'completely fed up with recent events that have upset my tranquility' and has made a number of demands which he hopes, in his view, will see the country improve. But despite making the dramatic proclamation about feeling guilty about his US citizenship, Moore conceded he hadn't planned anything dramatic in protest. Rather than try...

Paul Crimo, the uncle of Robert Crimo III, spoke to FOX 32's Dane Placko after his nephew was named as the person of interest in a shooting that killed at least six people, wounded at least 30 and sent hundreds of people fleeing from an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago on Monday.

Crimo is from of the Highland Park area and posted rap videos online using the name Awake. In one song, the suspect wrote: 'My actions will be valiant and my thought is unnecessary, I know what I have to do, I know what's in it, not only for me, but for everyone else.' The doom-laden words were set to drawings of a figure who looked like Crimo pointing a rifle while a person lies prone on the ground, and another holds their hands up in the air.

The petition -snip by advocacy group MoveOn after it emerged that Thomas' wife, Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, had repeatedly urged aides of former President Donald Trump to try to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election, prompting calls for the justice to recuse himself from cases related to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The petition has gained hundreds of thousands of signatures since the court overturned Roe v. Wade last week, stripping away constitutional protections for abortion. It was addended to note that Thomas, who voted with the majority to overturn the landmark ruling, "made it...

An apparently tipsy guest of an unnamed bride and groom got hold of celebration sparklers at their barnyard nuptials — and nearly caused a massive blaze in a now-viral video. In the wildly chaotic clip, which has sparked more than 9.1 million views on Twitter, a man named Craig or Greg is seen haphazardly dancing around with sparklers in both hands while onlookers praise him for his moves. However, while grinding on a female partygoer in a denim jacket, the carouser accidentally set a pampas grass centerpiece aflame.

Torrential rain is lashing Australia's southeast coast, forcing thousands of people from their homes because of the danger of floods and landslides in a region battered by major flooding four times in the past 18 months. Some areas in New South Wales state have received a month's rain in the past two days, swelling rivers and forcing Sydney's main dam, the Warragamba Dam, to spill on the weekend. Flooding in March and April in New South Wales and southeast Queensland state resulted in AUS$4.8 billion (S$4.61 billion) in insured damage, the Insurance Council of Australia estimated. WHAT IS CAUSING THE...
