President Joe Biden is a distant second to 'don't know' in an open-ended poll question that asks Democrats who they want to lead their party. Biden, who is chief of the party in addition to running the country for the past two years, was picked by just 12 per cent of respondents in a new AP-NORC poll when asked who Democrats want to lead. That puts him ahead of new leaders bursting onto the scene, as well as longtime legislators, but is not a vote of confidence as he intends to launch a presidential reelection campaign soon.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV). If you lived to be 500 years old, you would not live long enough to please God by your own works. It doesn’t matter how hard you may try to clean yourself up. Your flesh is not accepted before God; it can’t even be reformed. All flesh was done away with at the cross. Now a new man has come forth: the Christ man. True faith is having confidence in...

We reported earlier on the train derailment that took place in East Palestine, Ohio ten days ago on Feb. 3. Because there were chemicals on board the cars and they were concerned about a potential explosion, they had what they said was a “controlled release” of chemicals to reduce that risk after evacuating residents within a one-mile area. But now, many people are concerned about the effects of the release despite the assurances as to the quality of the air. Animals in the area are dying and it’s understandably making people upset. A reporter who was covering the story and...

A dossier alleging Russian collusion funded by a Democrat presidential candidate. A suggestion that school parents were domestic terrorists from a left-leaning school board group. A list suggesting old-fashioned Catholics were extremists from a liberal watchdog on hate speech. Three triggers for investigation. Three blunders that left America's premier law enforcement agency reeling with a black eye. The FBI's repeated reliance on liberal political and advocacy groups has proven costly in recent years, resulting in high-profile reversals and whispers the bureau has created a two-tier system of justice. "They need to have an understanding that there are folks out there...

Nowadays, online dating seems less a game of hit or miss than medical truth or dare, given the deal-breaker question, “Are you vaccinated?” Businesswomen Shelby Thomson and Heather Pyle of Maui, Hawaii, found the online dating game a frustrating experience for the un-jabbed at the height of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in 2021. Faced with discrimination and censorship, many unvaccinated people lost jobs and relationships because they chose to remain unvaccinated. The un-jabbed “didn’t have the option to say they were unvaccinated”...
