Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov referred to Moldova as “the next Ukraine" in a criticism of the Black Sea state that stokes Moldovan anxiety about the prospect of an attack from Russia. "We categorically reject the statement by the head of Russian diplomacy, which does not correspond to reality, and is part of the already well-known threatening rhetoric of Russian diplomacy,” the Moldovan Foreign Ministry said Thursday. Lavrov drew the analogy as Moscow renews its attempt to characterize its invasion of Ukraine as a defensive struggle against fascist ideology. Russia has maintained a military presence in Moldova over the objections...

Dave Conway had a heart attack in 2018. He was only 30. The Clintonville, Ohio, resident had been experiencing fatigue and shortness of breath, finally going to the emergency room with what he thought was pneumonia. Instead, he learned he'd had a "widowmaker" heart attack and a 100% blockage in a major artery. "I thought people who had heart attacks or heart disease were older people who drink and smoke a lot and weigh much more than I did," Conway said. "Recovery has been really tough, but I'm willing to do whatever my doctors tell me is needed to keep...

Explanation: The 1970s are sometimes ignored by astronomers. For example, this beautiful grouping of reflection nebulae in Orion - NGC 1977, NGC 1975, and NGC 1973 - is usually overlooked in favor of the substantial glow from the nearby stellar nursery better known as the Orion Nebula. Found along Orion's sword just north of the bright Orion Nebula complex, these reflection nebulae are also associated with Orion's giant molecular cloud about 1,500 light-years away, but are dominated by the characteristic blue color of interstellar dust reflecting light from hot young stars. In this sharp color image a portion of the...

The social-justice warriors are pushing full steam ahead with their plans to turn our classrooms into indoctrination dens. The State University of New York system, in which I’m a political-science professor, just announced expanded “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice” requirements for every degree program starting in fall 2023. That’s right — DEISJ classes are required to earn a degree, even in departments outside liberal arts such as math, science and engineering. These initiatives do nothing more than cultivate division, distort reality, eliminate the power of the individual and insult any fair-minded person. DEISJ is a cultural movement, not an...

St. Peter Damian Slays the German Synodal WaySt. Peter Damian Takes Up The Gauntlet Thrown Down by the German Bishops on the Vice of Sodomy A Defense of Catholic Sexual Morality and a Condemnation of the German Synodal WayPart IIBy Randy EngelIntroduction In February of 2019, thirteen years after my book The Rite of Sodomy – Homosexuality and the Roman Catholic Church[1] was published, this writer founded the League of St. Peter Damian,[2] an international Catholic ministry, to honor this great 11th century Cardinal and Doctor of the Church best known for his lengthy exposition on the unnatural vice of...

Footage captured the shocking moment an angry camel fatally trampled a man who punched it at a children’s camp in Russia. “The animal did not appreciate such treatment,” local media reported regarding the deadly incident, which occurred last month at the Beryozka recreation centre in Omsk, Siberia, per East2West news. The fiasco occurred after a watchman named Yury, 51, struck the dromedary while attempting to move it, causing it to become enraged and attack him, local media reported. In the disturbing footage, the guard can be seen walking up to the double-humped Bactrian camel — which can weigh over 1,100...

“Blacks killing Blacks is racist.” This political alchemy has even diehard liberal voters scratching their heads at the seemingly obvious contradiction-in-terms…but still, they parrot the claim…the fuzzy logic, as perfectly logical nonetheless. You’d think that a prerequisite to be a Democrat politician (or Liberal news anchor) is to have graduated from Deception School with honors. Just look at all of the in-your-face claims that seem to defy the facts: 1)Hunter Biden laptop is Russia Disinformation. 2)Trump colluded with Russians to influence the 2016 election. 3)Sitting president joe biden having classified Whitehouse documents in his garage is “something taken very seriously”...

An Idaho woman who got pregnant despite using birth control described the shocking moment her baby emerged from the womb — triumphantly clutching her intrauterine device in his hand. “When all the nurses come in to see a baby with his IUD,” Violet Quick, 20, captioned the video of the surprise birth, which went down this week. In the clip, which has been viewed more than 22.8 million times on TikTok, her baby boy, Rudy, can be seen holding his mother’s IUD like a contraceptive Stanley Cup as medical staffers look on in amazement.

When homicide detectives called Jackie Vadurro at the end of January, claiming to have matched her 23andMe DNA test kit to a 36-year-old cold case murder, she thought they were joking. But, no — the cops were dead serious. SNIP Vadurro, a content creator who lives in an RV around Palm Springs, CA., went on to reveal that the detective said her DNA was a possible match to a 1986 cold case murder of a Jane Doe who’d been fatally shot and thrown off onto the side of a rural San Diego road. SNIP “And now they think that I...

President Biden, who on Thursday spoke on the 30th anniversary of the Family and Medical Leave Act, or FMLA, said more than half the women in his administration are women, video shows. Once again, the president got his words mixed up, this time as he spoke about the evolution of the FMLA and his accomplishments when it comes to helping low-income families with working moms. "More than half the women of my cabinet, more than half the people of my cabinet, more than half the women in my administration are women," Biden said.

Besides a clear, cool stream, a solitary shelter stood. Blackened by weather and time, the structure was piled high on all sides with rubbish. If not for a window the size of a shoe box, it would have been impossible to imagine that people lived inside. But they did. And the arrival of outsiders had been noticed. The year was 1978. The low-hanging door creaked slowly open, and an aged man emerged into the sharp light. To the visitors, he appeared as a character of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale. Barefoot, he wore a patchwork shirt made of sacking with...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — After being removed from the Foreign Affairs Committee over anti-semitic remarks, Representative Ilhan Omar laid the blame on a secret cabal of Jews working against her. "They say I'm being removed for antisemitism, which is the exact sort of excuse you'd expect from a power-hungry Jewish cabal," cried Ms. Omar. "This is all the Jews' fault." Democrats screamed in fury at the announcement of Ms. Omar's removal, enraged that Republicans refused to give open hatred of the Jewish people a pass. "If she were white, that would be one thing - but she's a Muslim woman of...

It all began when Dave Fleishman, of El Dorado County, California, noticed his pups sniffing under his back deck. To find out, Fleishman set up a camera under the deck and couldn’t believe his eyes when he checked the footage in the morning.

Every February, when Black History Month comes around, like clockwork, a small percentage of people (you know which ones) take umbrage that Black people get a month to celebrate their history, and there is no White History Month to counterbalance it. I used to argue that white history is taught year-round and thus there is no need to dedicate a month to focus on it. But recently, my views have shifted. I've come to a realization: Perhaps we do need a white history month—if not two or three. Truth is, a lot of white history has been left out of...

“ While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God”(Acts 10:44, 46 NKJV). This is speaking of the household of Cornelius. Think of it: a private Pentecost falling upon an entire household with everybody there lifted into the heavens. It was miraculous! The praises were thrilling as all the relatives and children were getting saved and filled with God’s Holy Spirit. Meanwhile, here we sit in the day of the outpoured Holy Ghost, where we often see little or no evidence...
