It boggles my mind the stupidity of people. I'm watching Wheel of Fortune which I rarely do and a puzzle comes up in which the contestant calls for an "O" when she's looking at the puzzle that reads "SP.G..TTI and Meatballs." BTW, she didn't make it to the bonus round.

President Joe Biden appeared to be rewriting history on Friday afternoon as he claimed to have visited the war torn countries of Afghanistan and Iraq as many as 39 times, despite the true number being closer to 21.

There appeared to be some glaringly inaccurate key details in his tale - including there...

BAGHDAD — As Christmas and the new years approach, Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad Shia’ al-Sudani declared 25 December an official holiday for all Iraqi state institutions. Al-Sudani also declared 26 December an official holiday for the Chaldean–Syriac–Assyrian people in Iraq. Despite the positivity of those decisions for the Chaldean-Syriac-Assyrian people, actual support by the Iraqi parliament and government remains scarce given the failure to enact an official law regarding the religious and national holidays of the Chaldean–Syriac–Assyrian people in Iraq. More support and greater effort is needed to ensure the Chaldean–Syriac–Assyrian people in Iraq can remain and prosper in their...

A Texas nurse is suing the Biden administration after the Department of Veterans Affairs published a rule mandating that VA medical facilities provide abortions and abortion-related services, without an exemption for medical staff who oppose abortion on conscience or religious grounds.

Teague Veterans’ Medical Center in Temple, Texas, argues that she “cannot perform, prescribe, or counsel for abortion services because of her sincerely held religious beliefs that unborn babies are created in the image of God and should be protected,” the lawsuit, filed Tuesday, says.For both religious...

Does God heal everyone, let's examine that question. And once again you need to understand God's meaning of healing. In the gospels the words heal, healed, healing in The Strong's Concordance is #2323 and it means-to relieve(of disease)-cure, heal. Don't just look at that by the flesh. Because, if you do you will most likely miss it. God's word says in Isaiah 53:4, "Surely he hath borne our griefs(sicknesses and diseases) and carried our sorrows(pains and afflictions). He's talking about what Jesus would do when he came and sacrificed himself for us. For him to bear ours that means ours...

Anita Adams’ ambition sounds simple enough: the Seattle homeowner wants to build a second, four-unit structure on her property so she can give her adult children, father-in-law, and potentially other family members a place to live in the city’s historically Black Central District, where she has resided her entire life. The 49-year-old government worker and her husband can afford the project with financing, which she expects would total around 2,200 square feet, though she may have to rent out one of the units for a few years to help cover construction costs. What she can’t afford, though, is the extra...

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy said Friday that five conservative hardliners have not budged in their opposition to his speaker’s bid, offering dire warnings that their hard-fought Republican majority could be derailed if they don’t bend. “Well, we’re still continuing to talk, but they have not moved,” McCarthy told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt. “And the difficulty here is that you know, we are the only Republican entity stopping the Biden administration. But we’re also going to be the only ones that can move forward. But it would delay everything, getting committees up and running, being able to do the...
