A portion of my favorite scriptures is Proverbs 4:20-23 because I have experiences with it. It talks about God's word being our medicine, remedy, healing, and cure that's what the word health is translated as. Just this week I had a toothache that was so bad I could hardly chew, I couldn't even chew a banana without pain. But, what did I do I started speaking the word (taking God's medicine). I started taking in God's word, By his stripes I am healed Isa 53:5/Jesus carried my pains Isa 53:4/Through the blood of Jesus I am redeemed from toothache Eph....

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that in 2016 American voters passed on “the most qualified person to ever run for the presidency, Hillary Clinton,” to elect “not that bright game show host” Donald Trump because of racism. Co-host Sara Haines said, “What I was going to say is it made me laugh. Back in the day, when we talked about a woman being president, people made those jokes, would you want a woman with her finger on the nuclear button? Look what you got in Donald Trump. You defend, man, and we will go ahead...

In addressing how governors such as Florida’s Ron DeSantis are handling state teacher shortages, Cardona said that it is as important to treat current educators with “respect” as filling vacancies. At a breakfast roundtable hosted by the Christian Science Monitor, Cardona suggested that school systems first address why teachers are leaving and why it is hard to recruit new teachers. A former teacher himself, he said the focus should be on improving pay and working conditions. He recalled that while working in Connecticut, the state had a program called “Troops to Teachers,” and it was great to get their “skill...

Shocked that people who never went to college don't want to be forced to pay down her college loan debt, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) ranted against "the selfishness of the few who oppose the social justice of President Biden's generosity. College graduates are our nation's most precious resource. Making them pay their own way is so unfair." The Congresswoman has it backwards. Less than half of the adults in the US have college degrees. Of these only 41 million owe money for college loans. Graduates that already paid off their student loans, graduates that never took out a student...

With nearly 1,700 fatal overdoses since the start of 2020, San Francisco's drug crisis has resulted in almost double the death toll of the COVID-19 pandemic. In June, the city's mayor, London Breed, announced that their notorious taxpayer-funded open-air drugs market will close at the end of the year.

Of the 1,634 respondents, 1,247 are registered voters and would be eligible to vote in a presidential election if...

Belarus has started military exercises by the city of Brest near the Polish border, its capital Minsk and the northeast region of Vitebsk, the defence ministry said on Thursday. Belarus, a close ally of Russia, said the exercises, located just 20 miles from Ukraine's border and six miles from Poland, will practice 'liberating territory temporarily seized by the enemy' and regaining control over border regions. Russian President Vladimir Putin used similar rhetoric to justify his invasion of Ukraine earlier this year and had staged wargames near the border before sending his troops into battle.

A Los Angeles Times columnist wrote Wednesday that Melania Trump deserved to feel 'violated' by the FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago and ridiculed the former first lady's sex life. 'This is simply the price you pay when you are married to a sticky-handed former president who is unable to grasp the difference between things that belong to him and things that do not,' wrote columnist Robin Abcarian. The columnist mocked how anonymous Melania pals told Radar Online that the former first lady bought new underwear after hers was rummaged through, snarking at the quote: 'This is her home ... it's her...

<p>Earlier this week, Trump opened a new line of criticism against Germany, complaining about a new natural gas pipeline that will directly link Germany and Russia.
