John, Chapter 12 1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. 2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. 3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. 4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray...

What should we do when a majority of Republicans want Trump, but the Republican Party says we can’t have him? Last week I wrote about Teddy Roosevelt and Donald Trump. My comparison wasn’t between the two men as presidents—though they had some similar personality traits—but between how the two men were treated by the Republican Party. The Republican Party of 1912 decided it would be better off renominating William Howard Taft, even though its voters would have preferred another Roosevelt term. The resulting split ushered in Woodrow Wilson and the first academic globalists, whose bright ideas laid the groundwork for...

Arizona might hire Israel to help build a desalination plantA recent Washington Post article on an Arizona proposal states:“But earlier this week the board was suddenly facing a vote on whether to support a $5 billion project led by an Israeli company to build a plant to desalinate ocean water in Mexico and pump it 200 miles across the border.”I myself am a huge supporter of desalination, and I think it’s a great idea that Arizona is considering hiring the world’s best experts to help them. I can see how the specific route might be a bad idea. I hope...

An extraordinary 1,011 athletes have died suddenly post-Covid injection over the past two years. Cardiologists, physicians, doctors and scientists around the world are greatly concerned about the alarming increase in cardiac arrests in fit, healthy people in the prime of their lives. Yet corporate media and an astonishing number of politicians refuse to acknowledge or discuss the harms and deaths caused by Covid injections. As of mid-December, Good Sciencing has recorded 1,598 athlete cardiac arrests and serious issues – with 1,101 who have died – since the start of the mass Covid injection campaign. There have been, so far, 22...

Main stream media and the Biden Administration are playing a game of ‘let’s pretend’, and they really don’t care what you think about it. Every day, the media pretends there is no border crisis, and dutifully works to keep the topic out of print and off the air. In Washington, Joe Biden hasn’t even been to the border one time to see the havoc his policies wreak upon it day in and day out. If you have a problem with any of that, it’s because you’re a racist fascist who hates people of color. See how that works? “He doth...

DENVER (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency is investigating whether Colorado’s regulation of air pollution from industrial facilities discriminates against Hispanic residents and other racial minorities, according to a letter released Wednesday. Federal investigators said in the letter they will scrutinize the state’s oversight of Colorado’s biggest polluters including the Suncor oil refinery in North Denver where Molina lives, and whether the effect of that pollution on residents is discriminatory. The EPA launched its investigation under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It has been going on since March but went little noticed until Wednesday’s letter, which...

Members of a Facebook group called 'Tesla Owners Club UK' expressed their frustration at the queues. One said: 'Someone taking the mick at Tebay? Beien here over an hour. Still 15 in front of me in the queue for a charger. Easily another 2 hours to wait - minimum.' A second added: 'We need more superchargers.

Nobody told me that a winter charge would barely achieve half the performance. 'Tesla...

DOD report notes 'tables, chairs and cots broken' by Afghans, 'tents and cots ruined by spray paint, human biological matter and holes' ... A new Department of Defense (DOD) report found that the U.S. military bases that housed Afghan evacuees suffered $260 million in damages, with the Air Force saying the damage was "unrepairable." The DOD inspector general reported last week that the eight bases housing the refugees in Texas, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Virginia, New Mexico and Indiana are asking for repair money after they sustained over a quarter-billion dollars in damage. Over 17 days, 120,000 evacuees were taken to...

One of the hottest tickets at this year's Society for Neuroscience meeting in San Diego was a session on psychedelic drugs. About 1,000 brain scientists squeezed into an auditorium at the San Diego Convention Center for the symposium, called Psychedelics and Neural Plasticity. They'd come to hear talks on how drugs like psilocybin and MDMA can alter individual brain cells, can help rewire the brain, and may offer a new way to treat disorders ranging from depression to chronic pain. "I was pleasantly surprised at the number of people," says Alex Kwan, a biomedical engineer at Cornell University who spoke...

House Sergeant-at-Arms William Walker, who led the D.C. National Guard during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, said law enforcement would have responded differently if the rioters had been Black. “I’m African American. Child of the Sixties. I think it would have been a vastly different response if those were African Americans trying to breach the Capitol,” Walker told the House Jan. 6 panel in April, according to a transcript released this week. “As a career law enforcement officer, part-time soldier, last five years full-time, but a law enforcement officer my entire career, the law enforcement response would have been...

(JNS) On the front pages of newspapers around the world, we are now privileged to witness the extraordinary strength of women oppressed by fanatical forms of Islam. In Iran, these women are emerging as our heroines. Young and old, they are willing to expose themselves to imprisonment, violence and potential death in order to achieve liberation. In Iran, they are leading the charge for regime change and thus the end of one of the most evil dictatorships of this century. There is no sign that these women are slowing down. Yesterday, Vida Movahed, who became known worldwide for a...

Joe Biden will now require travelers from China to show a negative coronavirus test to enter the United States after claiming in 2020 former President Donald Trump’s coronavirus response was “fanning the flames” of “hate, fear and xenophobia” against Asian Americans during the pandemic. Beginning January 5, travelers from China by air will have to provide a negative Covid-19 test to enter the nation “within two days of their departure from airports in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau,” Politico reported.

Construction at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago has been temporarily halted after a noose was discovered at the worksite Thursday morning. Lakeside Alliance, the construction company building the $830 million center, said it immediately notified police after the noose was reported on the premises, located in Jackson Park. The company told The Post in a statement that it suspended “all operations onsite” in order to provide its employees with an additional series of anti bias training, citing a “zero tolerance” policy “for any form of bias or hate on our worksite.”

The man accused of breaking into Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco home and beating her husband with a hammer has pleaded not guilty to state charges. David DePape, 42, appeared in a California court on Wednesday wearing a jail-issued orange sweater, sweatpants and a black facemask as he denied the charges against him for the October 28 attack on Paul Pelosi. He only spoke once during the hearing, Mercury News reports, to confirm that he wanted to waive his right to a trial within 60 days. DePape now remains at a San Francisco jail on a range of state charges, including...

1 ntative Adam Schiff (D-Ca.) has been one of the most vocal opponents of President Trump in the House, and one of the most prolific advocates of the Russiagate conspiracy as well as an array of other anti-Trump conspiracies. During Schiff’s tenure as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, he was known for leaking information to the press in an attempt to smear President Trump and other Republicans. With Democrats out of power in the House, Schiff hinted at other political ambitions during an interview with KTTA this weekend. With Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Ca.) serving 30 years in the Senate...

Explanation: Charles Messier described the 88th entry in his 18th century catalog of Nebulae and Star Clusters as a spiral nebula without stars. Of course the gorgeous M88 is now understood to be a galaxy full of stars, gas, and dust, not unlike our own Milky Way. In fact, M88 is one of the brightest galaxies in the Virgo Galaxy Cluster some 50 million light-years away. M88's beautiful spiral arms are easy to trace in this sharp cosmic portait. The arms are lined with young blue star clusters, pink star-forming regions, and obscuring dust lanes extending from a yellowish core...
