My new talking point with friends…the looks are priceless.

Since Biden took office in January 2021, an unprecedented number of illegal aliens have swarmed the Southern Border and given entry into the United States. The floodgates have been open for over a year now, allowing millions of foreign nationals – few of whom have been vetted in any way – to come into the country and take advantage of Biden’s taxpayer-funded migrant programs that are fueling this invasion. Once the invaders arrive stateside, they are given aid, food, medicine, lodging, and even cash to spend as they please. Then they are loaded onto busses and planes by federal agents...

A New York City smoke shop employee has been arrested and charged with murder in the stabbing of a 59-year-old homeless man who allegedly picked a fight with the store’s elderly manager. The New York Police Department said it responded around noon Saturday to a 911 call about a man stabbed at the Magic 7 Smoke Shop located at 174 W. Fordham Road in the Bronx. Upon arrival, officers observed a homeless man, later identified as 59-year-old Kenneth Fair, unconscious and unresponsive with a stab wound to the neck. EMS responded and transported the seriously injured man to NYC Health...

The conservative movement isn't done reshaping the Constitution from the ground up. Conservatives are now pushing an unprecedented convention to re-write the US bedrock text since 1788. So far, 19 GOP states have joined a rapidly-growing conservative movement to call a new convention. As former Republican senator Rick Santorum addressed Republican lawmakers gathered in San Diego at the American Legislative Exchange Council policy summit, he detailed a plan to fundamentally remake the United States. It would become a conservative nation. And the transformation, Santorum said, culminates with an unprecedented event: a first-of-its-kind convention to rewrite the Constitution. "You take this...

An Ohio man recently quit his job as a teacher for a position at Walmart instead. Seth Goshorn says the reason he switched jobs was simple: The Walmart role would pay $12,000 more. He'll make $55,000 a year there before bonuses, compared to the $43,000 he made as a teacher after working 5.5 years in education, he told GMA. Seth Goshorn didn't expect his post saying he got a new job at Walmart to go viral, but that's just what happened. The 28-year-old Ohio man posted a TikTok video earlier this month in which he said he was quitting his...

Since 2019, Israeli businesses and consumers have been subject to a limit on the value of cash transactions. On Aug. 1, that limit is set to decrease from NIS 11,000 ($3,192) to NIS 6,000 ($1,741) for business payments and from NIS 50,000 ($14,510) to NIS 15,000 ($4353) for transactions between private individuals. The stated purpose of the law is to force the public to use digital means of payment rather than cash. This is intended to enable better transaction monitoring so that Israeli authorities are equipped to tackle tax evasion, black market activity and money laundering. Payments made to Palestinian...

As they grow up, Palestinian children can join various youth organization where they are further brainwashed with racist and anti-Semitic ideology. increasingly important role in this systematic indoctrination is an extensive network of summer camps, established by the PA following its assumption of control of the Palestinian population of the West Bank in early 1996. Modeled on the Nazi youth organization Hitler Jugend, these camps have provided a carefully contrived mixture of ideological indoctrination and military training to thousands of Palestinian youth every year. All camps are named after "martyrs" or spectacular "acts of martyrdom" (i.e., terrorist attacks), and participants...

Several pathogenic microbes were identified and quantified on masks worn during the pandemic, according to a Japanese study that was published in Scientific Reports. The study is one of the first to address the probable hygiene issues caused by bacterial and fungal growth on masks worn daily in the community. “Since masks can be a direct source of infection to the respiratory tract, digestive tract, and skin, it is crucial to maintain their hygiene to prevent bacterial and fungal infections that can exacerbate COVID-19,” the authors wrote. The study involved 109 participants aged 21 to 22 years who were asked...

A transgender cheerleader was kicked out of a Texas college cheer camp after she allegedly attacked a teammate who called her a 'man with a penis'.

The girl and other teammates allegedly locked themselves in a locker room to hide from the raging Medlock, who claimed that she was being targeted for her...

‘Don't we have a place in the Church?’: Read pope’s response to Argentine priest on seminary's closureWashington, D.C. Newsroom, Jul 30, 2022 / 16:48 pmEarlier this year an Argentine priest struggling to understand the Vatican’s controversial closure of one of the country’s top seminaries wrote to Pope Francis seeking answers.The priest, maintaining his fidelity and that of his brother priests to the Second Vatican Council, as well as their devotion to the sacraments, the spiritual life, and the sick, inquired whether a literal reading of Vatican II meant the presbyterate was overly rigid.“Is this rigidity bad? Is it ideology? Don't...

It seemed obvious that Joe Biden’s selection of Kamala Harris as his running mate was a bad idea. Of all the Black Women™ he could have chosen, how he landed on her is a question for the ages. Unless, of course, someone figured they needed someone so awful that she would make Joe Biden look better by comparison. The Biden-Harris White House has had over 30 senior staffers jump ship — many from Kamala’s office. The latest is Michael Collins, Harris’s director of public engagement; he follows senior aides Meghan Groob and Rohini Kosoglu, who departed a few weeks prior....

How About We Keep the Papacy and Dump Bergoglio?Soon after Nancy Pelosi’s bishop forbade her to receive Holy Communion due to her support of abortion “rights,” she hopped a plane to the Vatican. While there, she posed for a photo-op, exchanging gifts with a smiling and chummy Francis. She then went on to sacrilegiously receive Holy Communion from a priest at Francis’ own Mass.[i]On June 24, 2022 Roe vs Wade was finally overturned after fifty years of pro-life efforts. Francis met with pro-abortion Pelosi just five days later. It wasn’t until ten days after Roe’s overturn that any comment on...

It seems as if every day lately there is another reason to break out the champagne in Moscow and Beijing, and Saturday was no exception: it was the day of Joint Base Langley-Eustis (JBLE)’s first “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Summer Festival,” featuring (what else), a drag show. What does all this woke nonsense have to do with winning wars? Oh, never mind that; that’s the old, white supremacist military! The new diverse military has other priorities altogether. The festival, according to the Daily Wire, will feature “a series of performances and speeches, including a poem on ‘Diversity, Equity and Inclusion’...

“Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm. The men were amazed, and said, ‘What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?’” (Matthew 8:26–27). If you have been a believer for very long, you realize that knowing about the Lord’s love and powerful concern and trusting in them do not always go hand in hand. Even when we trust, it is not always complete or without trepidation. When the disciples witnessed Jesus calming the storm and waves, they were no doubt relieved but also...

I am convinced people lose hope because they’ve first lost faith. They have heard many sermons and read many books, but they see examples all around of shipwrecked faith. Christians who once espoused the gospel are now giving up their trust in God. Where do people turn for hope? The Spirit once said to me, “You have to anchor your faith. Set your heart to trust God in everything, at all times.” To “set” our faith means to “stabilize, set down roots, lay a foundation.” Scripture says it is within our power to do this. James writes, “But let him...

“Christ and Christ alone is the Savior of all men”: The significance of Francis’s participation in the Indian pagan ritual The following letter was written by a traditional priest.Dear Bishop X,Pope Francis during his visit last week to Canada participated in a pagan ritual in which some Indian leader asked “the western grandmother” to grant “access to the sacred circle of spirits.” This participation is a fitting expression of Pope Francis’ss interpretation of Vatican II, which according to him teaches that God wills the diversity of religions and that non-Catholic religions are not evil, but good.This same Pope, as...

"He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much." "And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads." "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." Luke, Chapter 16 1 And he...
