You better be ready to play and take the punishment if you attempt to trip up Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake. The Trump-endorsed Lake has a God-given ability just to shred liberal media narratives within seconds. She’s also not afraid to deliver scorching zingers right to the faces of reporters who she knows are not friendly. After Joe Biden’s fascistic speech wherein he declared all supporters of Trump and the Republican Party enemies of the state, a reporter tried to turn the tables on Lake, who, like others, accused Biden of dividing the country.Without fail, the reporter asked, “Do...

Joe Biden on Sunday attacked Trump again in an effort to distract from his dumpster fire of a presidency. Biden is currently on vacation at Camp David in western Maryland so his staffers are trying to do damage control after Biden’s Moloch speech. ..... Snip..... Now Joe Biden is trying to rebrand his attacks on MAGA. Biden (or his staffer) on Sunday said “MAGA proposals” are a threat to the country. This is Biden’s way of attacking ‘ideas’ rather than millions of Trump supporters after he got major backlash following his Moloch speech. Don’t let Biden get away with this....

A new survey reveals that pastors of nondenominational churches are more likely to hold a biblical worldview than pastors belonging to all other denominations. The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University released the seventh installment of its American Worldview Inventory Tuesday. The latest wave of research released builds on previous data that found only 37% of pastors hold a biblical worldview and analyzes the views of pastors by denomination. The survey is based on responses from 1,000 Christian pastors to 54 questions collected in February and March 2022. It examined the frequency with which 75% or more of pastors...

Green parties in Europe have been hit over the head with a two-by-four called reality. Their sanctimonious preaching about dangers of fossil fuels and climate change is not jibing with the reality of energy situation in Europe. There has been a sneering condescension by Greens toward anyone who questions their monopoly on the “truth of climate change” and what should be done about it. But Greens in France, Great Britain, and other EU countries are out of power. They can bash the government for their reliance on fossil fuels to their hearts’ content because they don’t have to put any...

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America September 4, 2022 It’s impossible to explain how great the people last night were in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The level of love they have for our Country is both unbelievable and highly impressive—it is more than anyone would ever know. If the Radical Left Lunatics that work so hard to destroy our Country could just get a little bit of the love, energy, enthusiasm, spirit, and patriotism that we witnessed last night, our Country would go to the top of every list like a rocket ship. Thank you...

"And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus." "And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you." "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." John, Chapter 20 1 The first day of the...

Seattle notched its deadliest month in recent history this August and is on track to set a 25-year record high in fatal shootings, according to police. "This is one of our highest years, and we are on pace to exceed the last two years, and this has been a concerning trend," Interim Police Chief Adrian Diaz said last week of fatal shootings in the city, according to King 5. "We are passing our 25-year high that happened just two years ago." The Seattle Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that it recorded 11 homicides for the month of August....

Warning: This article contains graphic content that some readers may find disturbing. Shawn Michael Tillman, a St. Paul man charged with murder after getting bailed out of jail, has been described as “the most inappropriate sexual predator you’ve ever seen in a prison setting.” A prison insider told Alpha News Tillman “should never have been” set free.

During previous stints in prison, staff had filed nearly 100 complaints about Tillman’s “sexual behavior,” according to the source, who estimated the number...

Bed Bath & Beyond exec Gustavo Arnal didn’t say a word to his wife before apparently leaping to his death from their swank, 18th-floor apartment in Lower Manhattan, The Post has learned. Arnal, 52, also didn’t leave a note explaining the plunge, which occurred while his wife was in the home with him around 12:20 a.m. Friday, law-enforcement sources said Sunday.

Biden and the White House leaned into that Thursday night with an unusual prime-time address that broke no news or made any big announcements. Instead, Biden took the opportunity to elevate Trump and make it a choice between what Biden and Democrats stand for and MAGA Republican extremism, as he sees it, and their rising influence in positions of power throughout the country. The NPR Politics Podcast "I believe America is at an inflection point," the president said in front of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the same city where he launched his 2020 presidential campaign, "one of those moments that...

If you spend any time on Twitter, you have to notice that liberals are getting more and more strident. The desperation is palpable. I don’t like living in what feels like one of the case studies of backsliding democracies I read about in my comparative politics class. — David Hogg ☮️ (@davidhogg111) September 4, 2022Why do Republicans LIE all the time about things — both big and small? — Jon Cooper (@joncoopertweets) September 4, 2022Anti-woman = anti-American — Rep.

Today's Gospel reveals that Christ must come first in our lives. In that we must revolve around Christ as our center, and not just as a center, but a center we must love more than ourself. A smack to the back of the head that we CANNOT be disciples of Christ unless we kill the ego, the "I" or the "me" 14 min. YouTube link belowThe Fair Weather Fans of Jesus

Hillary Clinton started wearing pantsuits — now considered her fashion signature — after "suggestive" photos were taken of her in a skirt during her time as first lady. In a new interview with Norah O'Donnell for CBS Sunday Morning alongside daughter Chelsea, the former presidential candidate shares that she switched up her style after visiting Brazil on a state visit in 1995. Clinton wore a cream skirt suit during her visit, in which photographers shot her from below. "I was sitting on a couch, and the press was let in. There were a bunch of them shooting up," the former...

Former Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Charlie Dent on Saturday said former President Trump’s speech at a rally on Saturday night in the Keystone State was a “major gift” for Democrats. “Most Republican candidates don’t want anything to do with Donald Trump in this general election. They want this to be about Joe Biden and the Democrats, but to the extent Trump inserts himself into this conversation, he’s giving the Democrats a major gift right now,” Dent said on CNN.

[Catholic Caucus] The Rehabilitation of Disgraced Cardinal Roger MahonySan Diego Bishop Robert McElroy was elevated to cardinal last weekend, a significant snub to Jose Gomez, the archbishop of Los Angeles, a much larger see than San Diego whose head typically receives a red hat. As if Gomez hadn’t been humiliated enough, McElroy chose Cardinal Roger Mahony, the disgraced former archbishop of Los Angeles, as one of the concelebrants at his first mass as cardinal. During the previous pontificate, Gomez had tried to sideline Mahony for his monstrous role in protecting molesting priests. Gomez said that Mahony would “no longer have...

If Serena Williams did indeed drown her sorrows with the noise of her own voice by going to a karaoke booth after losing her maybe or make-believe goodbye game at the US Open, it is probably just as well. If, instead, she had turned to social media in search of buckets more of the delirious deification which cascaded onto that twirling head in the Arthur Ashe stadium, those tears would have turned from 'happy' to horrified. By no means everyone, it transpires, subscribes to the worshipful cult of adoration upon which Queen Serena was transported from Flushing Meadows to evolution....

CNN analyst Van Jones opined that "coming into Labor Day weekend, you are starting to see the beginnings of what could be a blue wave. The disastrous Afghanistan exit, runaway inflation, the growing ineffectiveness of the covid vaccines, and murder rates not seen since the 1990s are just fading memories. Democrat voters will rally to vote for the Party's traditional values—more abortions, more income redistribution, higher taxes, LGBTQ rights, and clean energy. Don't be surprised when you see a bigger Democrat majority in the House and Senate after the votes are counted in November." He went on to dismiss complaints...

Reduced calorie intake has been shown to improve health and lifespan in laboratory animals, and recent research shows these benefits may extend to humans as well. Researchers show that moderate calorie restriction in people reduces the production of a protein called SPARC, which then reins in harmful inflammation and improves health in the aged. The study, led by Vishwa Deep Dixit, follows a study published earlier this year that identified key health benefits of moderate calorie reduction in humans. Dixit further analyzed data from a clinical trial funded by the NIH. In the trial, known as Comprehensive Assessment of Long-term...
