"And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season." Luke, Chapter 1 1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, 2 Even as they delivered them unto us,...

A “path to citizenship” should be granted to “all” illegal aliens in the United States, according to Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer who received backlash online after arguing that such a move could solve the problem of the country’s declining population. Standing outside the U.S. Capitol grounds on Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told the press that immigrants “make us stronger now more than ever.”

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Hallie Jackson Reports” during the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, then President Donald Trump “thought that he would enter like Mussolini being carried on the shoulders of his supporters.” Discussing former Secret Service agent Bobby Engel’s testimony before the January 6 Committee, Raskin said, “Well, I can’t enter into specific details about this testimony. But I will tell you that from everything we’ve learned, we know that the former president was incensed and enraged when he was not being taken to the Capitol. He was adamant that he be able to join...

Yitang Zhang, a number theorist at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has posted a paper on arXiv that hints at the possibility that he may have solved the Landau-Siegel zeros conjecture. The paper has not yet been validated by anyone else at this time, and Zhang himself has yet to explain the purpose or even meaning of his paper. The paper posted by Zhang is not in a traditional format. There is no introduction or summation, or even any sort of explanation of its contents. Instead, it is a proof—a very long proof, 111 pages of math. Zahn does...

Democrats mourned the end of House Speaker Nance Pelosi’s (D-CA) position as a leader following the 82-year-old politician announcing that she will not seek reelection as Democrat House leader, prompting President Biden to state that America “owes her a debt of gratitude.” “This I will continue to do as a member of the House — speaking for the people of San Francisco, serving the great state of California, and defending our Constitution, and with great confidence in our caucus, I will not seek reelection to Democratic leadership in the next Congress,” Pelosi stated on the House floor Thursday.

I have a question regarding SecureBoot for the Dell 3260 compact workstation. I'm trying to create a custom iso to load our operating system from and it appears we'll need to import secureboot keys into the BIOs for the workstation (or else SecureBoot will not allow the booting/installing from that custom ISO). I'm wondering if it's possible to import secure boot keys to a Dell factory image for our computers. I can't seem to find any guidance on this topic anywhere on Dells site. Any computer gurus have some wisdom to share. Thank you 😊

Heather Wallace plead guilty to child endangerment and can no longer work with kids.Heather Wallace's oldest son, 8-year-old Aiden, was driving his two brothers crazy in the car as they all returned from karate one afternoon in October 2021. Wallace asked Aiden to walk the rest of the way home—half a mile in quiet, suburban Waco, Texas—so that he could calm down. For this she was arrested, handcuffed, and thrown in jail. She was charged with endangering a child, a felony carrying a mandatory minimum of two years in prison. "It really brought us into deep trauma," says Wallace. She...

Another excellent interview. Scott Ritter differs from Col. MacGregor who thinks the errant Ukrainian missile crashing into Poland was "probably" a mistake. Ritter thinks it was a deliberate strike on Poland to force NATO into the conflict (Article4/5) But, he thinks it was done by a rogue "nationalist" (read neo-nazi) who control the missile batteries in the Western part of Ukraine which is where the missile strike originated from without Zelensky's knowledge. He also feels there is no possibility of a negotiated settlement at this time because Zelensky will not accept reality. "Ritter: How do we end this conflict? And...

A federal judge temporarily blocked a Florida law aimed at restricting state colleges and universities from teaching students certain ideologies related to race or sex.Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker of the Northern District of Florida blasted the "Individual Freedom Act," originally pitched as the "Stop WOKE" Act, for censoring what professors are allowed to teach, granting a preliminary injunction against its enforcement while litigation continues."The law officially bans professors from expressing disfavored viewpoints in university classrooms while permitting unfettered expression of the opposite viewpoints," Walker wrote in a Thursday order. "Defendants argue that, under this Act, professors enjoy "academic...

Operation Mockingbird was an alleged CIA project that recruited journalists to write fake stories promoting government ideas while dispelling communist ones. Is this still happening today?

With Kherson firmly back in Ukrainian hands, officials now have the grueling task of restoring order to the port city after nearly nine months of Russian military occupation. An undertaking that, in less than a week of liberation, has involved the investigation of war crimes, dismantling of mines and booby traps, and for the Security Services of Ukraine (SBU), searches for local collaborators and foreign agents of Russia’s security and intelligence services which could still be lurking in the area. The hunt for the enemy within was recently made a little easier after SBU officers discovered a trove of classified...

If I had to take one drama onto a desert island, it would have to be "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim." Park Seo Joon, who plays the CEO, was the first Asian model for the Tommy Hilfiger fashion line and has been in an impressively long list of popular shows. Park Min Young, who plays Secretary Kim, has an equally long resume of hits. The acting is superb. The writing so well done. And romantic comedy is my very favorite genre.

Anti-vaxxers are trying to create a new global infrastructure for the supply of unvaccinated blood, driven by conspiracy theories and pseudoscientific beliefs about the dangers of mRNA COVID vaccines. The article goes on and on about how unscientific and ignorant is the demand for unvaccinated blood. What is interesting is that even doctors acknowledge a lot of demand for it:

The Italian-American tradition is alive and well in many households, including Stanley Tucci’s.For people unaccustomed to it, the idea of lasagna at Thanksgiving might seem extreme. When the holiday table is already buckling under the weight of stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, and a giant turkey, the choice to add a tray of bubbling, saucy lasagna may not seem obvious – but that’s what makes it so special. Growing up, Searching for Italy host and actor Stanley Tucci would go to his aunt’s house for Thanksgiving, which tended to kick off with a course of Italian wedding soup, with...
