Whatever the circumstances of your life, God is able to change them for his glory. This biblical principle is not just a theory for me. I have met many people who were transformed by God despite horrors in their past. I know a young man from the streets of Des Moines, Iowa particularly well who experienced this magnificent and radical transformation. His father abandoned him as a new born baby and showed all the symptoms of bipolar disorder. As a teenager, however, he became what he had always hated. Alcohol, drugs, anger, delinquency, lies and violence were his lot. Until...

Oakland, California, is set to give adult residents vouchers to donate to candidates for local office every other year, according to The San Francisco Chronicle. Nearly 74% of the city’s voters approved Measure W, mandating that the city biannually send four $25 dollar vouchers to residents 18 years of age and older for donations to mayoral, City Council or school board candidates, the outlet reported. The program will be paid for with city general funds and include legal permanent residents who lack U.S. citizenship.

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

Private companies added an estimated 127,000 jobs in November, a sharp slowdown from October and the lowest monthly gain in nearly two years, according to a new ADP jobs report. The estimate, which does not include public sector jobs, fell from 239,000 private jobs added in October and marks the latest sign of a cooling labor market as the Federal Reserve rapidly raises interest rates. Private companies added 357,167 monthly jobs on average last year, a steady pace spurred by the nation’s pandemic recovery that has since slowed amid the central bank’s monetary tightening, which is aimed at lowering inflation....

For decades the Democrats and leftists have fought ferociously to prevent the cleanup of State voter registration rolls. Recognizing a potential niche, left wing activists created ERIC to clean voter rolls their way, using their rules. So in 2012 the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) was formed as a membership organization primarily for blue States. ERIC is essentially a left wing voter registration drive disguised as voter roll clean up. But it’s been gaining traction in Red States too. Originally funded by the Soros Open Society, it is now responsible for cleaning the voter rolls in 31 States, plus D.C....

Multiple tornadoes have touched down amid a “particularly dangerous” weather situation that is underway in the South, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Dozens of tornado watches have been issued in portions of southeastern Arkansas, northern and central Louisiana and central Mississippi until 2 a.m. as dangerous supercells bring potentially devastating tornadoes, hail the size of baseballs, damaging winds and flash floods, according to Fox Weather. By 11 p.m. Tuesday night, the NOAA reported at least 17 tornadoes, mainly in Mississippi and Louisiana. The A storm chaser reported observing a tornado near Highway 42 east of Bassfield, Mississippi,...

The numbers: The economy grew at an annual 2.9% pace in the third quarter, updated figures show, and the U.S. is on track to expand again in the waning months of 2022 despite growing worries of recession. Gross domestic product, the official scorecard for the economy, was revised up from a 2.6% rate of growth in the preliminary reading issued last month. GDP had shrunk in the first two quarters of the year. The economy is forecast to expand again in the fourth quarter running from October to December, but estimates vary from as much as 4% to less than...

White House defends decision on easing Venezuela sanctions for oil Monday After the White House claimed that U.S. oil producers have "plenty of opportunities" to drill domestically, some executives are slamming the administration’s "completely inaccurate," "flat-out lie." "We've basically tracked about 125 specific actions that this administration and the Democratic Congress have done to slow down or stop oil production in America," American Energy Alliance President Tom Pyle said on "Varney & Co." Tuesday. "He has an 'America last' energy policy." When asked by Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy why President Biden "would rather let U.S. companies drill for oil...

Russian billionaire cryptocurrency investor Vyacheslav Taran died near the French-Italian border after his helicopter crashed, according to multiple reports. Taran was riding in an Airbus H130 from Lucerne, Switzerland, to Monaco on Friday when it crashed in Villefranche-sur-Mer, the New York Post reported, citing radio network France Bleu. The helicopter carrying Taran was owned by the company Monacair, Alexander Makogonov, head of press service for the Russian Embassy, told Russian news outlet TASS. The Russian Embassy in Paris has been in communication with Taran’s family, according to TASS. “The Russian Embassy confirms the death of Vyacheslav Taran in a helicopter...

In a newly published phone call SBF claims, "reporters freak the f—- out if you donate to a Republican because they’re all super liberal." Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, says he donated equally to both Democratic and Republican politicians before his cryptocurrency platform filed for bankruptcy earlier this month, wiping out billions of dollars in customer deposits. And that fact is going to come as a real shock to right-wing political operatives on Fox News who’ve tried to claim Democrats were the only ones beholden to FTX cash. “I donated to both parties. I donated about the same amount...

When Twitter began suspending conservatives and others who voiced opinions that differed from the staff at Twitter, they essentially began creating a liberal social medial platform of conformity to ideas deemed worthy by whoever was checking posts. Thousands were suspended, including, of course, the President of the United States, and those who love the U.S. Constitution and free speech were horrified. Other platforms sprung up. But it was not enough to clear Twitter of opposing voices, libs banded together and the new platform Parler suffered at the hands of app stores. President Donald Trump launched his own Truth Social which...

The use of flash drives in the election process has been well documented. New evidence suggests that these flash drives aren’t used for reporting election results by the media. We first became aware of the use of flash drives during the 2020 Election when an individual in Milwaukee misplaced a flash drive and was forced to turn around and go get it at about the same time that 145,000 votes were recorded for Joe Biden only in the state. There were other reports on the misuse of flash drives and the related lack of controls that we shared over the...

The Chinese government is warning of an impending crackdown on protesters opposing the country’s “zero-COVID” approach to containing the coronavirus as protests spread. China’s Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission released a statement Tuesday saying it would “resolutely crack down on infiltration and sabotage activities by hostile forces” following rare protests that have become the largest in decades. The protesters are pushing back against China’s policy to try to keep the number of COVID-19 cases in the country to as close to zero as possible. This has led the government to consistently order widespread lockdowns throughout the pandemic, often for...

RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. — A day after a 60-year-old bicyclist was “gravely” wounded in a Rancho Cordova assault, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said the man was attacked with a machete and that his injuries are “not survivable.” Detectives have also identified the suspect as a 42-year-old who has not yet been located. James Hall is believed to have hit the man in the head with a machete Monday around 6:15 p.m. near Zinfandel Drive and Italia Way, spokesperson Rod Grassmann said. He is considered a risk to the public and to law enforcement officers. If anyone sees him, they...

Around 8,000 soldiers of Fort Carson’s 4th Infantry Division (ID) were tear-gassed by mistake during a physical morale event Nov. 23, according to a spokesperson for the military base. U.S. Army recruits are routinely exposed to gas during basic training in order to experience the painful effects of the gas on their skin and eyes, Insider reported in 2020. Exposure for 4th ID troops deviated from standard training, however, when division leadership apparently did not inform soldiers of the use of tear gas prior to the event, Military.com reported. The division devised the large-scale event to simulate the Battle of...

China's former leader Jiang Zemin, who came to power after the Tiananmen Square protests, has died at the age of 96. Jiang was a surprise choice to lead a divided communist party after the 1989 turmoil, but saw China through history-making changes.
