The U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) on Monday warned that a “massive winter storm” is anticipated to impact a large portion of the United States this week and present a range of hazards. The arctic blast is starting to hit the Pacific Northwest and then push across the northern Rocky Mountains and onto the Great Plains. It will bring heavy snow and strong winds, the National...

Paul faced a choice when he found himself in the midst of a storm. He was most likely chained in the bottom of the ship, as was the common practice for transporting prisoners. When he warned the people not to undertake this journey, he was scoffed at and scorned. The voice of truth is constantly set aside as bigoted and out of touch. Eventually it is locked away in the same way that Paul was relegated to the bottom of the ship. Imagine the unspeakable hardship that Paul once again faced. Nevertheless, in the midst of it all, Paul chose...

The "I'm here so I don't get fined" phrase didn't work very well for Marshawn Lynch. The former Seattle Seahawks running back has now revealed the amount he needed to pay for refusing to speak to the media. One of the most memorable phrases in recent NFL history comes from Marshawn Lynch, who thought he could get away from interviews by saying "I'm here so I don't get fined". Now, he has revealed the amount he was asked to pay by the NFL for refusing to speak to the media. Marshawn Lynch is one of the most dominant running backs...

"In order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ" (Phil. 1:10). Seek to have a life that bears scrutiny. In our society, those whose lives are marked by moral soundness, uprightness, honesty, and sincerity are usually thought of as people of integrity. However, society's standards often fall far short of God's. Spiritual integrity calls for the highest possible standard of behavior and requires supernatural resources available only to those who trust in Him. Paul's prayer in Philippians 1:9-10 outlines the path to spiritual integrity. It begins with love that abounds with knowledge and discernment (v. 9) and...

The two television studios are separated by a wall with a sliding-glass door. In one, Colorado-based meteorologists track snowstorms, hurricanes and day-to-day conditions around-the-clock for viewers of WeatherNation, a channel airing forecasts on smart TVs and streaming devices. The other broadcasts shows on the conservative network Real America’s Voice, one of few remaining news platforms where false election fraud claims and other conspiracies get airtime. It airs Stephen K. Bannon’s show “War Room”. The two networks’ shared ownership has alarmed some meteorologists, who say that WeatherNation is helping to legitimize the extreme viewpoints aired on Real America’s Voice. These critics...

At the 2023 Grammys, the religious theme went even further in the promotion of Satanism. Two trans, non-binary, androgynous artists Sam Smith and Kim Petras performed a song entitled “Unholy,” worshiping Satan. Smith was dressed in bright red with horns, surrounded by half-dressed young women twerking him in a highly sexualized manner. All this worshiping of “Satan” was intended to make a non-binary appeal to children to worship Satan and themselves.1 Madonna was still part of the event and this satanic, sexual scene on live TV shows us how far popular culture is falling. It is strange indeed for Pfizer,...

Here we are, in February 2023, nearly two and a half full years after the Hunter Biden laptop suppression, and the Washington Post "Fact Checker" column publishes a new report titled, "The Hunter Biden laptop and claims of ‘Russian disinfo.’" Glenn Kessler notes that among his media colleagues in October 2020, "few were willing to report information in the New York Post stories without their own due diligence, especially if Russia was once again seeking to meddle in the election." He then drills into the infamous former "intel community members" letter, which points to the laptop story as one that...

After a long hiatus from the first season of this steampunk series set in an alternative Late Victorian, set in the 1870s/1880s based on the ladies' fashions, world where humans live with sentient creatures from our mythology, for example, faeries, and magic is real, Amazon has been releasing episodes from season two. This review is based on a viewing of episodes one and two. I have noticed two big tonal changes from season one. Perhaps the showrunner or writer read my Freeper review of season one. So far there have been no gratuitous sex scenes. The second is the use...

The IBM chief said that fields like customer service, human resources and positions within finance and health care could all see automation - not years from now but in the current day. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) trend has taken the world by storm. From passing medical and law exams to delivering speeches, AI has evolved so much that it even converses with users and offers solutions to their problems. Now speaking about AI systems and the explosion of language-based AI ChatGPT, IBM CEO Arvind Krishna has stated that artificial intelligence is on a rapidly progressive pace to take over "clerical...

The Government has established a working group to coordinate efforts to combat the spread of disinformation on the internet. The multi-stakeholder group will be tasked with providing a joined-up approach to reduce the creation and spread of false and harmful material. Members will aim to complete a National Counter-Disinformation Strategy by the end of the year, in a process that will also involve a public consultation. The establishment of the working group fulfills a recommendation in The Future of Media Commission report, which called for a more coordinated and strategic approach to combat the damaging impact of disinformation on Irish...

In a new analysis of several polls, Gallup concludes that while Americans support the idea of diversity on college campuses, they “do not like the idea of colleges using race and ethnicity as a factor in decisions on college admissions.” The pro-diversity claim is that a student body filled with people of myriad backrounds — racially, ethnically, economically, religiously — enriches the higher education experience and produces stronger leaders. And while Americans in general support that goal, they do not support using race as a factor. For instance, Gallup reported, “In a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, for example, 58% of respondents...

Ohio Lt. Governor Jon Husted joined local officials in East Palestine over the weekend in drinking city water from the tap, in a bid to convince residents the municipal water supply is safe following a train derailment and chemical spill. Husted, a Republican, joined US Rep. Bill Johnson, Ohio EPA Director Anne Vogel, and East Palestine's mayor, fire chief and police chief in a joint event to drink the water on camera. 'You all just saw us drink a glass of water. Our municipal water here in East Palestine is safe,' said Mayor Trent R. Conaway. 'If you have well...

The aide said that the hospital stay could rage from weeks to more than a month, but added that the stay would "likely" last less than two months.

The American presidency is one of the strangest jobs in the world. Politicians aspire to it. The media focuses obsessively on the person who holds it and those who want to win it. Millions of books and articles have been written about it. And yet, most of the people who’ve held the job really weren’t that good. There are a few truly great presidents, some pretty good ones and a handful of complete disasters. But most can be summed up, as the Simpsons famously once did, as the “adequate, forgettable, occasionally regrettable, caretaker presidents of the U.S.A.” In fairness, the...
