Exactly how woke do we want to make the people who defend our freedom? Recent incursions into American airspace by Chinese spy balloons, an increasingly threatening Chinese military, and an escalating war in Ukraine that pits NATO forces against Russia all point to the need for a strong, tough, professional U.S. military that can win wars and protect the homeland. The United States spends more on defense than any other country in the world. In fact, our 2021 total of $801 billion exceeded the $777 billion spent that year by the next seven countries — China, India, the U.K., Russia,...

This editor doesn’t intend to do a post on transgender issues every Saturday, but somehow always ends up doing one. For a “marginalized” community with no power, transgender activists have nonetheless compelled the dictionary to change its definition of “woman.” Is there any place worse than Arkansas? A trans doctor testified before the state senate there and was appalled and utterly mortified over her treatment by the legislature. She told her story to The Independent: I’m a trans doctor. What happened to me in front of the Arkansas senate was appalling https://t.co/eDAPIws6jj — The Independent (@Independent) February 18, 2023 Gwendolyn...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemMark 5Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man5 They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes.[a] 2 When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him. 3 This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. 4 For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs...

Can the pencil-neck vote outweigh the DEI Left on behalf of Adam Schiff? History shows that leftists always end up eating their own, as they continually jockey for the top rung on their political ladder. This week’s target is the odious Congressman Adam Schiff. He has been a congressman for 22 years and this year has decided to run for the seat being vacated by Senator Dianne Feinstein, whose staff, apparently without her prior knowledge, has announced she will not run again in 2024. He is a consummate liar and misused his perch as the ranking member of the House...

The revenge of the membership continues. Prominent anti-Boris activist Damian Green has been rejected by the new Weald of Kent Constituency Executive as their candidate. Originally neighbouring MP Helen Grant had put her name forward as well. After a conversation with Damian Green, presumably to agree a stitch up for another neighbouring seat (distrct), she withdrew her candidature. Despite knocking out the competition things did not pan out well for the super-wet Damian. The chair of the One Nation Caucus- which claims the support of a third Tory (RINO) MPs – was active in efforts to destabilise and dethrone Boris....

Tyler Borys said his wife, 26-year-old Alexandria Cress Borys, was loading groceries into her car at the Kroger in Irmo, South Carolina, when she got into an argument with a woman she didn't know, according to FOX 57 Columbia. After the argument was over, the stranger, later identified by Irmo police as 23-year-old Christina Harrison, allegedly pulled out a gun and shot Borys in the back. The couple's children, a 2-year-old and an infant, were in the car when she was shot.

At a time when growing Cold War anxiety about the Soviets ranged from psychological warfare to wholesale nuclear annihilation, the U.S. government worried about the prospect of a growing national hysteria. In the previous year, UFOs had begun to figure prominently in the public conversation. In April 1952, the popular magazine LIFE published a story titled “Have We Visitors from Space?” that promised to offer “scientific evidence that there is a real case for interplanetary saucers.” In July that year, newspaper headlines around the country blared reports of flying saucers swarming Washington, D.C. Between March and June that year, the...

In an interesting interview on Fox News titled The Church of Environmentalism (here), journalist Tucker Carlson has brought to light a contradiction that may have escaped the notice of many people but which I consider extremely revealing. Carlson recalls that the American Constitution prohibits any state religion, but for some time the governing Democratic party has imposed on the American people the globalist cult, with its green agenda, its woke dogmas, its condemnations and cancel culture, its priests of the World Health Organization, the prophets of the World Economic Forum. A religion in all respects, all-encompassing not only for the...

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell on Friday told attendees at the Munich Security Conference that Republican leadership backs continued aid to Ukraine as it fights off a Russian invasion, despite voices within his party opposing continued assistance. "Reports about the death of Republican support for strong American leadership in the world have been greatly exaggerated," he said. "My party’s leaders overwhelmingly support a strong, involved America and a robust trans-Atlantic alliance. Don’t look at Twitter, look at people in power." The Kentucky senator pointed to himself, as well as Speaker or the House Kevin McCarthy and top Republicans on the...

“While the Church of England is busy rejoicing in Anglicanism’s latest embrace of the culture and the music industry celebrates Satan, God is busy fulfilling a long-ago uttered promise about the perseverance of the Church — revival has broken out at Asbury University,” writes Mary Ann Mueller, a regular contributor to VOL.The revival is getting worldwide attention. People are dropping everything and flying to Wilmore, Kentucky from all points of the globe including the Philippines, Singapore, Canada, New Zealand, Brazil, and Indonesia.

Benedict's resignation is an enigma, but it seems that the German pope was a naive person surrounded by wolves. What the book reports is this: (1) that Martini boasted of having had several private meetings with Benedict in 2011-2012; (2) that in 2012 he had shared with a confidant his wish that Benedict would resign 'soon'; (3) that Martini's confessor reported how, in June 2012, the latter had asked Benedict to resign; (4) that Martini told his confidant that a new conclave might well elect conservative Cardinal Angelo Scola.

Greater Cincinnati Water Works officials are continuing to monitor the chemical contaminants traveling down the Ohio River following the train derailment in East Palestine.

Many of those commercials were filmed under the large “Worthington Ford in Long Beach” sign at the dealership he bought in 1963. Now that sign has come to mark the end of an era. Worthington’s family said they have sold the 3-acre business, the last dealership still bearing the name of the legendary car salesman who died in 2012. “It’s very sad,” Nick Worthington, Cal’s grandson, said in an interview with ABC7. “Our employees have been with us 40 plus years. “It’s a part of everyone’s childhood and life growing up here,” he added. “It’s hard to close that book...

Clara Bow was a babe and sweet and kind while being hot. The first onscreen "IT" girl. This is a peice of creativity with pronouns that said something worth saying. 1927 was a very good year.

Opposition leader Yair Lapid warned Sunday morning that Israel is "losing the US" as a result of the government's actions. "The Americans talk to me all the time and they are horrified by what is happening," Lapid said in an interview with Kan Reshet Bet. He dismissed claims that the US is interfering in Israel's internal affairs, saying: "We ask the US to interfere [in our affairs] every day, from aid to funding the Iron Dome. The Americans say clearly that our alliance is based on our shared democratic values, and if you don't maintain them, then the alliance will...
