Between November 6th and 18th, 2022, the UN climate conference COP 27 will take place on the Sinai Peninsula, in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. Religious communities and religious leaders have a key role to play in addressing climate change and climate justice, which requires deep transformation within society. The knowledge of what changes are critically needed to diminish long-term harm to the planet is readily available. However, bringing about change in action demands deeper changes in attitude, a change of heart. This has been the domain of religions for millennia. Religions are sources of inspiration for the transformation of heart...

Tennessee lawmakers have filed a bill to ban the controversial practice of pediatric medical gender transition in the state.Tennessee Majority Leaders William Lamberth and Jack Johnson, both Republicans, introduced the Protecting Children from Gender Mutilation Act on Wednesday, November 9, which would effectively bar doctors from prescribing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and performing gender-related surgeries on minors for the purpose of medical transition.

President Joe Biden suggested Wednesday he was interested in the federal government investigating billionaire Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter. “I think that Elon Musk’s cooperation and/or technical relationships with other countries is worthy of being looked at,” Biden said during a press conference at the White House on Wednesday.

Imagine you just filled up at the petrol station and you get a message on your phone saying: “Did you know this purchase is equivalent to over 200 kg of carbon? If you used public transport more, you’d save over half.” This is a service that Cogo, a carbon impact platform is providing for mobile banking apps, such as NatWest with the aim to inform and change behaviours. And they are working in partnership with notorious communist Professor Susan Michie’s Behavioural Insight Team, which was responsible for the propaganda and lies published and spouted on a daily basis during the...

Judge Loretta “Lori” Giorgi said she and the younger Pelosi, who has worked as a Democrat activist and has never held elected office, worked together in the San Francisco City Attorney’s office in the 1990s.

Social finance or impact investing reduces human beings to the status of potential investments, sources of profit for wealthy ruling vampires, Winter Oak surmised. It is a digital slave trade. It wants to own and control us – our bodies and every moment of our lives – and it wants to own and control every square inch of our world. Impact investing is a sinister industry which, over the last few years of research, we have found lurking under every dubious stone we have turned, wrote Winter Oak. Extinction Rebellion, Ronald Cohen, intersectionality, the WEF Global Shapers, Guerrilla Foundation and...

Republican representative Lauren Boebert has just made a major comeback in Colorado’s District 3 race. After previously trailing her Democratic opponent Adam Frisch by 3,500 votes earlier in the day, Boebert is now down by only 62 votes. Per the New York Times, Boebert currently sits at 154,060 votes compared to Frisch’s 154,122. As of right now, 95% of the vote is in, so there’s a good chance that the last 5% is a big dump for Boebert. It’s not over until every last vote is counted!

Justin Trudeau is swinging by the “werkroom” on an upcoming spinoff of Canada’s Drag Race. Producers of the drag queen competition series say the Prime Minister will make a special appearance on Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs. the World. He’s the first world leader to visit the RuPaul-founded competition series, which has more than a dozen global spinoffs in countries including Sweden, Australia, Mexico and the United Kingdom.

Last May, when Trump endorsed Oz for the Republican Senate nomination over David McCormick, many of the state's loyal conservatives balked. Dave Ball, the Washington County GOP chairman who flipped his county from blue to red in voter registration, said at the time, “What the hell was he thinking?” When Mastriano surged comfortably ahead in the polls for the GOP gubernatorial nomination in the weeks before the May primary, I reported extensively on the Republicans' fears that Mastriano would drag the party down, including its Senate nominee; within days of that story, Trump endorsed Mastriano.

The Republican Party flipped seats in Arizona and Iowa and won an open district in Michigan. Eli Crane Wins AZ-02 - Republican Eli Crane ousted Democrat incumbent Rep. Tom O’Halleran in Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District. Officials considered O’Halleran “the most endangered incumbent in the House Democratic caucus.” Crane, a former Navy SEAL, received President Donald Trump’s endorsement. He concentrated on the economy, border security, and no Critical Race Theory. O’Halleran represents the First District but chose to run for the newly redrawn Second District even though it favors Republicans.

President Biden said during a press conference on Wednesday that he plans on doing "nothing" differently in the next two years of his presidency. Biden was responding to a reporter's question asking what he plans to do in order to change the opinion of voters on the direction of the country as he considers a re-election bid in 2024. "Nothing, because they're just finding out what we're doing," the president responded. He asserted that "the more they know about what we're doing, the more support there is."

President Biden fumbled his words during a press conference at the White House on Wednesday, mixing up the Iraqi city of Fallujah with the Ukrainian city of Kherson. The mix-up came as the president predicted whether a compromise between Russia and Ukraine would occur before winter. "I think the context is that whether or not they’re pulling back from Fallujah, and…I mean from the City of Kherson," Biden said, correcting his mistake. He then went on to explain he expected both sides to "lick their wounds" over the winter and decide whether to make a compromise.

U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, the only pro-life Democrat in the U.S. House, won re-election Tuesday after narrowly fending off a pro-abortion challenger in the primary. The Texas Tribune reports Cuellar defeated his pro-life Republican challenger, Cassy Garcia, in the 28th District in South Texas with 57 percent of the vote. In September, he was the lone Democrat who voted against a radical pro-abortion bill that would force states to legalize abortions for basically any reason up to birth and force taxpayers to fund them. Cuellar also supports the Hyde Amendment, which bans taxpayer funding for elective abortions in Medicaid and...

Republicans may retake the House of Representatives after a lack-luster performance in the 2022 midterm elections. The United States is now under a communist assault from within. We need strong leadership. Here are several reasons why Kevin McCarthy should never be Republican Speaker of the House. 1.) Kevin McCarthy: “We’re not going to impeach Joe Biden.” 2.) Kevin McCarthy recommended President Trump resign after January 6 protests that killed four Trump supporters… Then he lied about it. 3.) McCarthy spent millions to defeat pro-Trump Republicans. 4.) McCarthy booed at Trump rally. 5.) Kevin McCarthy following 2020 election, “I Don’t Think...

Mehmet Oz’s failure to capture a Pennsylvania Senate seat is due, in part, to his refusal to position on abortion in a “mature, deliberative, and principled manner,” a major pro-life leader said on Wednesday. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser applauded those candidates who aggressively defined their own stances on abortion, explained their opponents’ extreme stances, and then exploited the contrast between the two. “Works every time,” she said. “Candidates who conversely adopt the ostrich strategy, which is putting their head in the sand and hoping the reality goes away, or the possum strategy, which is to pretend...

Voters in three cities in Texas and Nebraska strongly approved local ordinances Tuesday that ban abortions and declare their communities to be sanctuaries for unborn babies. In Texas, voters in Abilene approved a Sanctuary City for the Unborn ordinance with 53 percent voting in favor and 47 percent against, KTAB News reports. The action was especially significant because Abilene was the home of Sarah Weddington, one of the two pro-abortion lawyers who argued the case Roe v. Wade, which forced states to legalize abortion on demand. “Many people are seeing this effort as a way that Abilene can redeem history...
