Jacob Sanchez made an everlasting impact on his students and loved ones. SAN ANTONIO – His playful, easygoing personality made him an easy pick to be a student’s favorite coach.

Hooray!!!! Great for them. Brian Hill also sent a letter to the Supreme Court in support of the Brunson case.

Consumers can take a lot, but when you start raising prices on staples like eggs and milk, a definite din begins to rise from the streets. I knew something was up during a pre-Christmas trip to Costco, where a frenzied mob of shoppers were exasperated after being told, "We're out of eggs. We won't have any more until a truck comes in!"

In a potentially escalatory move, French President Emmanuel Macron became the first Western leader to supply Ukraine with tanks following talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky. In case you haven’t figured it out by now, the West is conducting regime change in Russia by engaging in a proxy war through Ukraine and the oh-so-willing Volodymyr Zelensky. Could this have anything to do with the 2014 Ukrainian insurrection funded and conducted by the Obama Biden regime in the United States? Now the erstwhile leader of all Europe, Emmanuel Macron, has become the first furnish tanks to Ukraine, immediately followed by Germany and...

Overall, excess deaths rose 630% since the vaccine’s approval for use in children by September of 2022.

He was with me from the beginning”: McCarthy mentioned that Trump made multiple calls to other members in support. “Somebody wrote the doubt of whether he was there, and he was all in. He would call me, and he would call others. And he really was. I was just...

In a speech on border security and enforcement Thursday, President Joe Biden compared asylum seekers at America’s southern border to Jews fleeing Nazi Germany. The remark came in response to a question about whether Biden viewed migration as a human right. “Well I think it is a human right if your family is being persecuted,” Biden said. “I thought it was a human right for, you know, Jews in Germany to be able to go […] escape and get help where they could.” Vice President Kamala Harris nodded in agreement with the president’s remarks. Biden went on to say that...

The Biden administration is proposing tougher standards for a deadly air pollutant, saying that reducing soot from tailpipes, smokestacks and wildfires could prevent thousands of premature deaths a year. A proposal released Friday by the Environmental Protection Agency would set maximum levels of 9 to 10 micrograms of fine particle pollution per cubic meter of air, down from 12 micrograms set a decade ago under the Obama administration. The standard for particle pollution, more commonly known as soot, was left unchanged by then-President Donald Trump, who overrode a scientific recommendation for a lower standard in his final days in office....

"And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen." "For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries." "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the...

President Joe Biden congratulated House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on being elected to the position Saturday, saying he is ready to work across the aisle in a divided government. “The American people expect their leaders to govern in a way that puts their needs above all else, and that is what we need to do now,” Biden said in a statement, congratulating him on his speakership. “As I said after the midterms, I am prepared to work with Republicans when I can and voters made clear that they expect Republicans to be prepared to work with me as well,” he...

Across four long and at times humiliating days, Rep. Kevin McCarthy clawed his way through 15 ballots and hours of back-room dealing to secure a House Speakership he has coveted since 2015, slowly eroding the opposition of 20 renegade Republicans intent on forcing change to the way Washington spends money. The once-in-a-century drama inside the Capitol played out on national television, and at times resembled the more raucous British Parliament. Lawmakers traded barbs and insults, openly bargained for concessions and even had to be restrained before the final victorious vote to avoid fisticuffs between GOP Reps. Mike Rogers and Matt...

A Georgia man was arrested on a fugitive warrant after facial recognition technology mistakenly linked him to the theft of luxurious purses in a state he’d not been to. Randall Reid, 28, was arrested in DeKalb County, Georgia after law enforcement officials followed their facial recognition technology matches, which ended up being wrong. “They told me I had a warrant out of Jefferson Parish. I said, ‘What is Jefferson Parish?'” Reid said.

The host of this video advocates against 'trans' ideology and particularly against hormone blockers/surgeries for children. While the host appears to be female (to me), he is a detransitioning male (still in the process). From his other videos, I got the impression that he doesn't know yet how to step back into the role of 'man' as he has been surgically modified, and it's as if he doesn't want to be seen as 'neither' fully male nor fully female. He is off hormone blockers and states he is a man, and that it's impossible to change your gender - no...
