IPray For The Peace of JerusalemGenesis 32Jacob Wrestles With God 22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said,...

The Virginia Kentucky District Fair is trying to find a woman who dominated almost every category. Her name is Linda Skeens. Linda enter many dishes in the county fair earlier this month and no one can find her. The annual Virginia Kentucky District Fair has been around for over a century and never has anyone won so many categories. Skeens won first, second or third place in almost every cooking and baking category at the fair. She is trending on the internet and yet no one knows how she looks, nor has she come forth to claim her many many...

Fate has – at last – caught up with scandal-prone UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The key agents of his doom were some of the ablest and highest-profile members of his cabinet. The resignations – within minutes of each other – of Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid on Tuesday prompted what some have dubbed “a constitutional coup.” In their letters of resignation, both men focused on Johnson’s integrity and judgment – or rather, the lack thereof. Still, a coup de grace was needed. That was delivered by Johnson’s own replacement for Sunak, the very...

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has died after being shot on Friday, the hospital treating him has confirmed. Abe, Japan's longest-serving leader, was 67. Doctors said he died at 5:03 p.m. Japan time. Abe was shot at about 11:30 a.m. while delivering a street speech in the western city of Nara ahead of Sunday's upper house election.

A doctor at the hospital told reporters that Abe had two gunshot wounds to the neck, with one "reaching to the heart."...

There are reasons to fear that the public will kept in the dark forever. There is growing concern that we may never learn the identity of the person who for the first time in history leaked a draft of a pending decision. It’s been nine and a half weeks since the draft opinion on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health was published by Politico on May 2. Although this is the biggest breach in Supreme Court security in history, we have had no indication that the culprit has been identified. This is strange, given the very small pool – fewer than...

And if we don't get a handle on this one, it's all over. Recently, a Connecticut teen, reportedly a gang member with an extensive rap sheet, was arrested in connection with 18 shootings. For years this young man has been out on the streets, committing crimes, getting arrested, and repeatedly being released. It's time to crack down on crime, but in many leftist districts, politicians and prosecutors are having none of it. There is an abnormal amount of crime in the U.S., though progressives continue to deny it. The most convincing proof is the murder rate: there are 2.6 as...

(CNN) — Britain's Conservatives just did what America's Republicans never dared to do. They toppled a wrecking ball right-wing populist leader who reeled from one self-created scandal to another and who was accused of flagrantly breaking the law, abusing power and building his political career on an edifice of lies. After weeks of clinging desperately to office, Boris Johnson finally resigned as the ruling Conservative Party's leader Thursday after a rebellion by his own lawmakers. The party will elect a new leader, who, according to the customs of Britain's parliamentary system, will become prime minister. America's Republican Party, however, never...

Deeply divided top diplomats from the world’s richest and largest developing nations failed to find common ground Friday over Russia’s war in Ukraine and how to deal with its global impacts, leaving prospects for future cooperation in the forum uncertain. Although they were present in the same room at the same time for the first time since the Ukraine war began, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov pointedly ignored each other. Lavrov walked out of the proceedings at least twice: once when his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock spoke at the opening session and again...

World Economic Forum elites pushing for a ‘go quietly into the night’ end to their eco-tyranny are met with fierce resistance. The ‘Climate Change’ agenda is a global, existential threat to prosperity and freedom from tyranny – nowhere else is that more apparent right now than in the small European country of the Netherlands. Under the tutelage of Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum, Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte became a “golden pin-up boy” for the Agenda 2030 cause. Rowan Dean, a reporter for Australian outlet Sky News said: Currently the Dutch government is embarked upon insane efforts to...

The carbon capture scam continues. What captures carbon and is completely organic, non-toxic, an natural? Trees. But the NWO cannot control that. The World Economic Forum has a new proposal: engineered crops whose roots DO NOT ROT when the plants die, and “capture carbon”.

The sanctuary state of New Jersey has created a $60 million “slush fund” for about 100,000 illegal aliens, Republicans say. The plan is part of a budget deal by Gov. Phil Murphy (D) where illegal aliens in New Jersey are expected to receive taxpayer-funded stimulus checks, New Jersey 101.5 reports: Language added to the budget allows Murphy to allocate $300 million from the state’s share of federal COVID recovery funds without needing the Legislature’s agreement through a vote of the Joint Budget Oversight Committee, or JBOC. [Emphasis added] Those allocations can’t be larger than $20 million without JBOC approval –...

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Friday’s shocking assassination of Japan’s former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in one of the world’s safest country stunned the world and drew condemnation, with Iran calling it an “act of terrorism” and Spain slamming the “cowardly attack.” (snip) “We are shocked and saddened to hear about the violent attack against former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe,” the White House said in a statement. “We are closely monitoring the reports and keeping our thoughts with his family and the people of Japan.” (snip) Other former world leaders also condemned the appalling attack on Abe, who was...
