Pray For The Peace of JerusalemMatthew 5 Salt and Light 13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. 14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your...

You know a political stunt has landed when the new news cycle and the more important memosphere are still obsessing over it a week later. And by the way, what’s wrong with stunts? In football, a stunt by the defensive line confuses the offense and often leads to a broken play, and if there’s anything we want to break these days, it’s the Biden Administration playbook. So more flights to Martha’s Vineyard please!

In a significant departure, the California Department of Education is withholding the release of the results of the Smarter Balanced tests that students took last spring until an undetermined date later this year. The result will be a monthslong delay before the public can view results in English language arts, math and science for the state, districts, schools and charter schools. The denial of EdSource’s request to release test score data comes at a time when educators are concerned about the pandemic’s impact on reading and math progress, especially in the early years. Releasing scores “later this year” means that...

McKee ascended to the governorship last year after his predecessor, Gov. Gina Raimondo, vacated the post to head the Commerce Department for the Biden administration. He had served as lieutenant governor at the time. He narrowly evaded a primary defeat against former CVS executive Helena Foulkes, who enjoyed a last-minute resurgence that may have been partially attributable to the backing of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who was roommates with her mother in college. Now that McKee has survived his primary, he is favored to win the governor's race in the deep-blue Ocean State, given its political dynamics. "Governor Mckee,...

“With this move, this stunt, obviously he made his base very happy,” said Adelys Ferro, the executive director of the Venezuelan American Caucus. “But there are many people more toward the middle and people who are independents that are very disgusted and that reject all of this.” “We are Venezuelan Americans and we vote, and we’re going to vote in November,” she added. “And we’re never going to vote for somebody who does this.”

The head of the Russian Orthodox Church urged Russians not to fear death after some 300,000 reservists were called up to fight in Ukraine. “Go bravely to fulfill your military duty. And remember that if you lay down your life for your country, you will be with God in his kingdom, glory and eternal life,” Patriarch Kirill, a staunch ally of President Vladimir Putin, said in a sermon at the Zachatyevsky Monastery in Moscow on Wednesday. Kirill, who has justified the invasion of Ukraine by arguing that Russians and Ukrainians were historically one people, said in his sermon that a...

Offering a scorching rebuke of what he called the “woke right,” U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Houston, continued to distance himself from some firebrand conservatives, accusing them of helping to sow manufactured division in the party. In an interview with The New York Times’ Jonathan Martin for The Texas Tribune Festival, the two-term congressman admonished “alt-right” politicians and their supporters for wanting “to wear a jersey and just scream at the other side.” “They remind me of the far left more than anything,” Crenshaw said. “If the first words out of their mouths are ‘RINO’ and ‘establishment’ and ‘globalist,’ rest assured...

George Landrith, the president of the super PAC, told The Federalist the ads were launched two weeks ago in response to McConnell’s decision to gut resources from one of the most competitive races this election cycle. In the last week of August, McConnell’s super PAC to reclaim the Senate majority, the Senate Leadership Fund, canceled nearly $8 million worth of ad buys set to boost Masters. The week prior, McConnell undermined Republicans in tight contests by complaining on Fox News that voters nominated poor candidates. “We went in right after he pulled out,” Landrith said. “One, [Masters] can win, and...

At 2:35 Sunday morning, 41-year-old Shannon Brandt called 911 to report that he had hit a pedestrian in an alley way outside of the bar where he had been drinking in Grace City, North Dakota. Though the teen-aged victim Cayler Ellingson was fleeing when Brandt drove his SUV over him, Brandt claimed self-defense. "From some of the things I heard him say I realized he was one of those MAGA enemies of democracy that the President warned us about in his speech a couple of weeks ago." The police charged Brandt with vehicular homicide, driving while drunk, and leaving the...

The cannibal who was accused of killing and eating a college student named Kevin Bacon pleaded guilty Thursday in Michigan to murder and mutilation, despite claims of insanity from his own counsel. Mark David Latunski, 52, pleaded guilty in front of a Michigan judge of the December 2019 slaying of the 25-year-old student, according to Michigan based news outlet MLive.

The two had met on Grindr, which is described on its website...

A former vice president for the EcoHealth Alliance, a major funder of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, claims that his organization "developed" SARS-CoV-2 through gain-of-function research that makes viruses more dangerous. "The process of developing SARS-CoV-2 was also described in detail in the proposal submitted to, and ultimately funded by, the National Institutes of Health (HHS NIH), The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), by EcoHealth Alliance with the WIV and [University of North Carolina] listed as collaborators," according to the sworn declaration of Andrew Huff, who is represented by the attorney Thomas Renz. The statement is included...

I was having a 4 way phone text conversation with my father, sister and brother. We were mostly talking about Biden's gaffes from a speech he made earlier in the day. We also mentioned other things that he said or did, from past months and years. Suddenly, my father informed us that a person reached out to him and asked if he wanted to "mute" the conversation. He didn't say who they were or why he was offering his "muting" services. Has anyone else had anything like this. We are being spied on, and they don't care that we know...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Major developments surfaced Thursday into the 40-year-old investigation into the Tylenol murders in the greater Chicago area. CBS 2 Chicago learned that investigators travelled to the Boston area this week to re-interview the man considered a suspect in the seven deaths.

The CBS 2 Investigators began re-examining the case back in April; reporter Brad Edwards travelled to Massachusetts last month to try to...
