So, trying to see what's going on with various races, and the last poll I see in the news out of Kansas was taken nearly a month ago, and showed the incumbent ahead something like 44 to 43... But why nothing since? It has now been over 4 weeks since that poll, and there are only 4.5 weeks or so to the election itself. I know Kansas isn't a highly populace state, but find the gap in polling odd, especially since common "wisdom" is the sitting governor is considered highly vulnerable. This logically is a fair assessment Kansas is a...

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The chair of an influential negotiating bloc in the upcoming United Nations climate summit in Egypt has called for compensation for poorer countries suffering from climate change to be high up on the agenda. Madeleine Diouf Sarr, who chairs the Least Developed Countries group, told The Associated Press that the November conference — known as COP27 — should “capture the voice and needs of the most climate-vulnerable nations and deliver climate justice.” Sarr said the group would like to see “an agreement to establish a dedicated financial facility” that pays nations that are already facing the...

Luke 12:1-7 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus deals with our fears. What is the greatest fear that we have? Undoubtedly, the fear of losing our own lives; we fear the death of the body. Jesus is telling us not to worry about those paper tigers that can only affect the body and its goods.All of the body’s goods come to nothing compared to the supreme good of life with God. Therefore God alone should we truly fear—doing his will should be our exclusive concern.Let me state this more positively. When I am in love with God, when I am “fearing”...

Valued at $53,595, the truck was highlighted on social media by a country club in Morrilton, Arkansas, in the days that led to the weekend tournament. “Hole-in-one on #10 gets you the keys to this F-150,” the country club said in a Oct. 7 Facebook post. “Thanks to Jay Hodge Ford of Morrilton!” Except the country club and car dealership refuse to hand him over the keys. Clagett is now filing suit against both, with his attorney stating he was cheated out of his prize.

The St. Louis Cardinals organization, and baseball fans everywhere, were saddened today to learn of the passing of Hall of Famer Howard “Bruce” Sutter at the age of 69. Sutter, who was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006, was just the fourth reliever enshrined, and the first player to have never started a game to be elected. Sutter was a six-time All-Star and the 1979 NL Cy Young Award winner. His uniform number 42 is one of 14 numbers retired by the Cardinals.

With probing questions and relentless redirects, prosecutor exposes FBI for omissions, deletions, peculiar lack of curiosity and a $1 million bounty to pursue Trump. Igor Danchenko is the named defendant at this week's trial, charged with lying as an informant in the now discredited Russia collusion investigation. But with probing questions and searing redirects, Special Counsel John Durham has turned the Russian researcher's trial in the U.S. District courtroom in Alexandria, Va., into an expose of stunning FBI failures and omissions in its now-infamous pursuit of Donald Trump for crimes that turned out to be nonexistent. While the Hillary Clinton-spawned...

NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. — Two girls were shot after a dangerous road rage incident over the weekend in Nassau County, and their fathers were arrested in the case.

“We didn’t understand that it’s a fairly low fatality rate and that it’s a disease mainly in the elderly, kind of like flu is, although a bit different than that.”

For the first time, crews in Alaska won’t be braving ice and sea spray to pluck snow crab from the Bering Sea. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game canceled the snow crab season earlier this week after a catastrophic population crash of the sizable crustaceans. The red king crab season was canceled for the second year in a row, making it a two-pronged disaster for Alaska’s economy and for those whose livelihoods rely on crab. “It’s going to be life-changing, if not career-ending, for people,” said Dean Gribble Sr., a 63-year-old crab boat captain who has fished for “opies”...

She has just fired her chancellor. My source tell me that she herself could face the boot. The plan by MPs is to have the former chancellor (and Goldman Sachs alumni) Rishi Sunak to stand unopposed for the leadership once she is removed. This will mean there wouldn't be a contest and he would effectively be installed as PM. Sunak was the overwhelming choice of the MPs while Truss was the choice of the party members. My source says this could happen within weeks... They would have to change the rules to do this and I'm told this isn't a...

What Florida Needs to Recover From Hurricane IanReal Clear FloridaMarco Rubio10/13/22A few years ago, while visiting the National Hurricane Center, I asked the staff to describe a worst-case weather scenario for Florida. They described a high-category hurricane stalling off the coast and pummeling the western side of the state with storm surge. In other words, they described Hurricane Ian.Over the course of that storm, Florida suffered as much as $50 billion in property damage. Whole communities were destroyed. Islands were cut off. And the death toll, now exceeding 100, continues to rise. It’s the worst natural disaster to hit Florida...

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday said he had no regrets about the conflict in Ukraine, and that Russia was doing the right thing..... Putin said it was not Russia's objective to destroy Ukraine. He added that he saw 'no need' for talks with US President Joe Biden.

President Donald Trump has responded after the Democrats’ Jan. 6 Committee officially issued a subpoena for him to testify before Congress. Trump has reportedly said that he will accept the subpoena and is happy to testify, provided he can do it on live TV. According to reports, Trump will agree to testify but doesn’t want the Democrats and their allies in the media to selectively edit his video testimony to make him look bad. NYT correspondent Michael Schmidt said: “Since it became public that the House select committee planned to subpoena Trump for his testimony, the former president has been...

Virginia parents could face a felony or misdemeanor charge if they do not affirm their child’s sexual orientation and gender identity, according to a state lawmaker with plans to introduce the legislation in Virginia's upcoming legislative session. Right now, parents’ rights and LGBTQ protections are a big focus in Virginia. Thousands of students in Virginia have walked out of class protesting Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s newly proposed model policies on the treatment of transgender students at school.

This is the latest version I've heard of this popular song. Patty Gurdy is amazingly talented...and amazingly gorgeous.

Psalm 139:1-16 13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed

VIDEOIt is getting harder and harder to escape the leftist woke agenda. In the latest example of this, medical students at the University of Minnesota were forced to take an SJW woke oath that replaced the traditional Hippocratic Oath.

It was all a setup. From Ray Epps – to opening the magnetic doors from the inside – to the dozens of fed operatives in the crowd – to Ginger Gun – to firing flash bombs and gas canisters on unsuspecting grandmas and seniors – to the mass arrests of hundreds of innocent Trump supporters who were waved into the US Capitol. Now we have the proof that it was all a setup and the entire thing was filmed by a pre-staged camera crew. On Thursday CNN released never-before-seen footage of Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell inside the US Capitol...
