“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he delights in his way” (Psalm 37:23, NKJV). The Hebrew word for ‘ordered’ in this verse means fixed or pre-planned. God doesn’t work with a day planner. He doesn’t plan out our path a day, week or year ahead. No, he has an entire life-plan laid out for every believer. The moment we’re saved, that plan goes into operation. What is this pre-planned path? Jesus answers very simply, “I am the way” (John 14:6). Christ himself is the path to glory and eternal life. He leads us toward...

The funeral for Ivana Trump is taking place Wednesday at a church in New York. Friends and family, including her former husband Donald Trump and their children Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric, are expected to attend the service.

The statue by Simone Leigh, named Sentinel, was finished in 2021. It depicts a snake wrapped around the slender, spoon-like body of a female.

VIDEOUkrainians sure seem to have a fascination with Saran Wrap at least with using it as a form of punishment by Saran Wrapping people to poles as you can see. In fact, they seem to like Saran Wrap so much that probably very little of it would be sold on the black market in the rest of Europe even if we sent them ample supplies of the stuff. Plus it is a lot cheaper than sending them expensive weapons systems.One weird thing about these Saran Wrapping clips is how calmly conversational they are talking to each other. If anybody out...

Truck drivers choked traffic at the Oakland, California, seaport on Monday protesting a state law that makes it harder for independent contractors to transport goods and could limit labor at the state's already clogged seaports, threatening to worsen the nation's pandemic-fueled supply chain jams. California's ports handle about 40% of container goods that enter the United States. Trucking disruptions come at a time when unions and West Coast port employers are also negotiating a high-stakes labor contract. The law, known as AB5, or the "gig worker" law, sets tougher standards for classifying workers as independent contractors. Independent truckers who now...

I was looking for an article, typed in (without quotes) 'flu' under 'titles' and got "Nothing matched your criteria." I then type in under 'keyword' and get innumerous articles with 'flu' in the title. IOW, search failed. Bigly. I'm not asking tongue-in-cheek: I genuinely want to understand this obvious glitch. In this case, I found what I wanted. But I'm of the opinion that many have had the same experience and also have the same question.

America, Land of the Free Our America has been hijacked by the hard left. It's been a year and half of Biden and company. How does it feel? We have citizens in jail for over a year for no crime... just a disagreement. Out justice department has sided against Trump and they are taking Peter Navarro and Steven Bannon to face the judgment the left has decided they are due. While ignoring the Biden family. In Russia and China, they do these things. Not in the USA! Anyone who dares side with Trump is under investigation when they become effective....

Monday, during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Assistant Health Secretary Rachel Levine, the first high-ranking openly transgender official confirmed by the U.S. Senate, argued for health policy to support “trans youth” given what she deemed to be vulnerabilities to their mental health. Part of the recommendation was for “gender-affirmation treatment” in states where state legislatures had blocked it.

Burdened with a decomposing President and a clearly overmatched Vice President, the Democrats are on the hunt for a saviour. For many in the party, Gavin Newsom, the 54-year-old perfectly coiffed Governor of California, seems like the perfect solution. No doubt, given his recent trolling of Florida’s Republican frontrunner Ron DeSantis, he feels the same. But Newsom’s ascendency faces some severe challenges. First, to get nominated, he must not only depose Biden, but also see off Vice President Kamala Harris. And she has three things Newsom lacks: she’s a woman, she’s black, and she has Asian Indian ancestry. Newsom, on...

GREENWOOD, Ind. — Within 15 seconds of a mass shooter opening fire inside the Greenwood Park Mall, Elisjsha Dicken got off 10 rounds, striking the shooter 8 times, and killing him. Police say Dicken was shopping with his girlfriend Sunday at the mall when he stopped at a cookie counter close to the main walkways of the mall. When the gunman exited the restroom, beginning his shooting spree, police say what he did was nothing short of heroic. Armed only with a handgun, police say Dicken first engaged the shooter from a distance of 40 yards. Police say he was...

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemGenesis 41Pharaoh’s Dreams 41 When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile, 2 when out of the river there came up seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds. 3 After them, seven other cows, ugly and gaunt, came up out of the Nile and stood beside those on the riverbank. 4 And the cows that were ugly and gaunt ate up the seven sleek, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up. 5 He fell asleep again and had a second dream: Seven heads of...

Considering that I live in Manhattan, I’m sad to report that I don’t take all that much advantage of the large amount of “culture” on offer. Perhaps one, or at most two, Broadway or Off-Broadway shows per year; the Opera or Philharmonic even less frequently. (OK, I do sing in a choir that performs several times per year., sometimes even in Carnegie Hall). But I pay enough attention to know that wokism has become a bigger and bigger problem in the performing arts. What do I mean by saying that wokism is a problem? I mean that the overarching guilt...

(Reuters) - A coalition of rightwing “constitutional sheriffs,” who claim legal power in their jurisdictions that exceeds U.S. federal and state authorities, has a new calling: investigating conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was rigged against former President Donald Trump. The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association has teamed with True the Vote, a Texas nonprofit and purveyor of debunked voter-fraud claims, to recruit like-minded sheriffs nationwide to investigate 2020 stolen-election allegations and to more aggressively police future voting. The partnership, detailed last week at the association’s annual gathering in Las Vegas, aims to intensify a movement already underway. At...

President Joe Biden and his administration continue to claim the economy is in good shape.

Alex McCall and his daughter were on holiday in Maine, USA, when an unidentified object the shape of a Tic-Tac sped over the park and then vanished into the clouds. Two top gun pilots have been filmed giving chase to a UFO over a park full of tourists. Alex McCall was with his school teacher daughter and grandchildren when the military jets blasted across the skies at high speed. But they then looked up to see the unidentified flying object in front of them. Alex's daughter was able to film the eerie moment on her iPhone as they roared over...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's dismissal of senior officials is casting an inconvenient light on an issue that the Biden administration has largely ignored since the outbreak of war with Russia: Ukraine's history of rampant corruption and shaky governance.As it presses ahead with providing tens of billions of dollars in military, economic and direct financial support aid to Ukraine and encourages its allies to do the same, the Biden administration is now once again grappling with longstanding worries about Ukraine's suitability as a recipient of massive infusions of American aid.Those issues, which date back decades and were not...
