An elderly Wendy's customer has died 10 days after being sucker punched in the head by an employee, who is now facing murder charges for the ordeal.

“The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility” (Proverbs 18:11).

The 2022 primary season is nearly over, but already one thing is clear: former President Donald Trump won. Candidates who support Trump’s false claim of widespread fraud in the 2020 election have won big in key swing states, and candidates he backed to challenge the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach him following the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol have been mostly successful. “This was a referendum on the never ending Witch Hunt,” Trump wrote in a post on his social network Tuesday after his endorsed candidate Harriet Hageman beat out Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who voted...

CNA Newsroom, Aug 16, 2022 / 09:02 am (CNA). On Monday, the Swiss Bishops’ Conference published a document for the upcoming Synod on Synodality in Rome reporting the Catholic Church was seen as suffering from clericalism —as well as “denying equality to women” and excluding “people with LGBTQ identity.” “Several official church positions on the role of women in church and society, on sexuality and lifestyles are perceived as pejorative and exclusionary,” the Swiss report said according to CNA Deutsch, CNA’s German-language news partner. “The Synodal Assembly of Switzerland, held on May 30, 2022, in Einsiedeln Abbey, finalized the report...

Russian Orthodox Church opposes adoption of children from Russia by citizens of countries that support LGBT. Metropolitan Leonid of Klin, the Patriarchal Exarch of Africa, believes more work should be done on a bill banning adoptions of children from Russia by citizens of unfriendly countries. "This morning I looked through the list of friendly countries again. And if the political attitude of some of them suits us, their attitude toward marriage (which is a union of a man and a woman), their governments’ approval of gay parades and support for aggressive LGBT communities, etc., make it absolutely impossible to raise...

That said, Why did Cheney even bother running for re-election, in a state that voted more heavily for Trump than any other, twice? What is characterised in the press as a “split” in the Republican Party — between Trump’s supporters on one hand, and conventional Republicans on the other — in fact is not a schism or factional matter at all. It more closely resembles an ice floe upon which the decrepit and useless remnant of the party has been set adrift. The neoconservatives who proudly announced that they would vote for Biden in 2020 because they put “country over...

It is always interesting to see who supposed “conservatives” in office are supporting with their financial resources. One of the interesting facts from Congressman Randy Feenstra’s “Delivers PAC” is the fact its largest contribution made to a sitting member of Congress went to Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler. Herrera Beutler was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach President Donald J. Trump. Feenstra’s PAC gave Herrera Beutler $5,000 on June 30, 2022.

WALES, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin school board voted in favor of a policy that prohibits teachers and staff from displaying gay pride flags and other items that district officials consider political in nature. The Kettle Moraine School Board voted Tuesday to keep a code of conduct in place that the superintendent recently interpreted as forbidding district employees from displaying political or religious messages, including pride flags, and Black Lives Matter and We Back the Badge signs. Staff also may not say in emails what their preferred pronouns are. Superintendent Stephen Plum recently told the board that the district’s interpretation...

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said in an interview with The Hill TV that former President Trump’s alleged mishandling of top secret documents could be the biggest story since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Carville said, “This Mar-a-Lago story which might be the biggest story since 9/11. That’s not going anywhere. It’s not going anywhere. So if you are a Democrat, you are going to get asked about inflation. If you are a Republican, you are going to get asked about Trump. We can say inflation is bad. They can’t say Trump is bad.”

Allen H. Weisselberg, for decades one of Donald J. Trump’s most trusted executives, has reached a deal to plead guilty on Thursday and admit to participating in a long-running tax scheme at the former president’s family business — a serious blow to the company that could heighten its risk in an upcoming trial on related charges. Mr. Weisselberg will have to admit to all 15 felonies that prosecutors in the Manhattan district attorney’s office accused him of, according to people with knowledge of the matter. And if he is called as a witness at the company’s trial in October, he...

1. The sweeping under the carpet of: a. His own involvement in the 1972 Munich massacre. b. And the Neo-Nazi Palestinian corporation at the 1972 crime. 2. Belitting the Holocaust, part of Abu Mazen's own long history of Holocaust denial since the 1980s, at least. 3. Attempts to rewrite history of: a. The Arab massacre of Jews in 1920, 1921, 1929, 1938, 1947; the massacres by Fedayeen in the 1950s (which Adolf Eichmann assisted in weapons supplies). b. Arab Palestinians, pro-Hitler as German official reported in 1937; in that year 'All' of Palestine celebrated Muhamnad's birthday with flying Nazi swastika...

An unnamed FBI agent drove the shooter to the Draw Mohammed festival. Apparently he egged on the shooter. Never any repercussions for this. The story was on Tucker Carlson, IIRC. Ray Epps was not the first to engage in this behavior.

"The man who daily cosplays as ‘president'[SIC] after helping steal the entire 2020 election (House, Senate and Presidency; yes, he did election theft deniers) has been accused of being tone deaf, and quite honestly ‘deaf deaf’ too. But it is the last 18 months spending government money we don’t have (AKA new debt) and also reaching directly into our pockets via his 100% intentionally created and unnecessary Bidenflation that has people right of center dismayed (and leftists strangely cheering for more). Nonetheless he has finally listened to the wails of the great unwashed (due to droughts and the cost of...
