Billions of people around the world face starvation if Net Zero policies ban the production of nitrogen fertiliser derived from fossil fuels. This is the stark warning from two top American scientists who say that eliminating fossil fuel-derived nitrogen fertilisers and pesticides “will result in about half the world’s population not having enough food to eat”. They add that eliminating Net Zero fertiliser will create “worldwide starvation”. In a wide-ranging paper titled ‘Challenging ‘Net Zero’ with Science‘, Emeritus Professors William Happer and Richard Lindzen of Princeton and MIT respectively, along with geologist Gregory Wrightstone, state that Net Zero – the...

In February, multiple earthquakes hit 10 cities in southern and central regions of Turkey, destroying thousands of homes, killing or otherwise inflicting serious injuries on thousands in addition forcing countless into homelessness. The Turkish government announced on March 11 that the death toll caused by the earthquakes had reached 47,975. Yet, non-official figures estimate a much higher death toll. Geologist Prof. Dr. Övgün Ahmet Ercan, for instance, predicted on February 7 that the number of people under the rubble was approximately 184,000. Some of the places worst affected by the earthquakes are in Hatay province and its Antioch (Antakya) district....

Senator Lindsey Graham believes that Ronald Reagan would start shooting down Russian jets after a US drone was downed by Russian jets yesterday. Lindsey Graham is apparently fine with the US starting a war with Russia in Ukraine over a downed drone yesterday. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has suggested opening fire on Russian fighter jets that intercept US drones, after one such encounter ended with an MQ-9 Reaper plunging into the Black Sea on Tuesday. “What would Ronald Reagan do right now? He would start shooting Russian planes down, if they were threatening our assets,” the veteran hawk told Fox...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Tuesday responded after President Biden criticized Florida for making efforts to protect children from transgender surgeries and so-called “gender-affirming” treatments. “It is not ‘sinful’ to prohibit the mutilation of minors,” DeSantis said in response to Biden, who lamented the state of affairs in Florida during an interview on The Daily Show. “What’s going on in Florida is, as my mother would say, close to sinful. It’s just terrible what they’re doing,” Biden told Kal Penn. “It’s not like a kid wakes up one morning and says, ‘You know, I decided I wanted to become...

BOBBY CALDWELL, THE oft-sampled, blue-eyed soul singer behind the late Seventies smash “What You Won’t Do for Love,” has died at the age of 71. “Bobby passed away here at home,” Caldwell’s wife Mary tweeted Wednesday. “I held him tight in my arms as he left us. I am forever heartbroken. Thanks to all of you for your many prayers over the years.” While no cause of death was provided, Caldwell had struggled with health issues over the past six years, which Mary cited as a result of an adverse reaction to fluoroquinolone antibiotic. Caldwell was best known for his...

Raymond Zdunski argued that the LGBTQ training held by his employer, the Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), was “aimed at changing his religious beliefs about gender and sexuality” and was against his religion as a devout Christian, the Buffalo News reported. The BOCES denied Zdunski’s request for religious accommodations. In the lawsuit, Zdunski sought reinstatement, back pay and $10 million in damages, but District Judge Geoffrey W. Crawford dismissed the case a year ago. On Monday, the Manhattan-based 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with that decision and backed BOCES for terminating the Ashville, New York,...

Can anyone recommend a good Bible study for a group of women who want to study the letters to the churches at the beginning of the book of Revelation? We are not interested in studying the whole book of Revelation, just the letters to the churches. Thanks to all who respond.

From the baptism to the sermon to the blessing ceremony View of the Fifth Synodal Assembly in Frankfurt Practical consequences of the synodal path for the Diocese of Osnabrück New blessing celebrations for couples, baptisms also by non-clerics and women and men who preach in the service: These are three of the concrete consequences that the resolutions of the synodal path of the Catholic Church in Germany will have for the Diocese of Osnabrück. Other resolutions of the process at the federal level, which was concluded last weekend with the Fifth Synodal Assembly, are also to be implemented promptly in...

The question was benign: How did you know the defendant? But the answer from a witness — that she met Christian Bey when he moved in across the street after his release from prison — was enough to cause a mistrial. Bey, 34, was on trial in connection with the shooting death of off-duty Pittsburgh police Officer Calvin Hall in July 2019. Hall, 36, was shot on Monticello Street on July 14, 2019, following an argument with a group of people who lived there. Police said Hall had walked away when Bey, whose mother was among the people fighting with...

When the history of “woke” attitudes, sentiments, and policies is written, two events of different kinds and magnitude will be remembered. Both took place in the San Francisco Bay Area in the past week. The first and by far the most important is the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, which did not collapse from wokeness no matter what Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump, and The Wall Street Journal said. We don’t know precisely what caused this financial institution to go from being the hot bank for the tech set to a puddle of assets that, at the time of this writing,...

“Tiger King” Joe Exotic — unable to find a president willing to release him from prison — says he’s running for the job himself as a Libertarian in 2024 and that he wants former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) to be his running mate. The eccentric former Oklahoma private zoo owner, convicted of hiring a hit man to kill animal rights activist Carole Baskin, has big ideas for US policy — including assassinating Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine. Exotic told The Post in a phone interview from his federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas, that he’d...

VIENNA, March 15 (Reuters) - U.N. nuclear watchdog inspectors have found that roughly 2.5 tons of natural uranium have gone missing from a Libyan site that is not under government control, the watchdog told member states in a statement on Wednesday seen by Reuters. The finding is the result of an inspection originally planned for last year that "had to be postponed because of the security situation in the region" and was finally carried out on Tuesday, according to the confidential statement by International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi. IAEA inspectors "found that 10 drums containing approximately 2.5 tons...

"And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. "And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living."...

[Catholic Caucus] Pope Francis’ Revealing DecadeAny practicing Catholic who has been following Pope Francis’ pontificate over the past ten years will have noticed just how much internal corruption has been revealed in the Church, whether doctrinal, moral, or structural. But could these revelations be part of the Lord’s Providence, exposing all the ills of the post-conciliar Church so that a true reform could take place sometime in the future? Questions on such a thesis were put to three esteemed commentators on Francis and the Church: Italian theologian Father Nicola Bux, a former consulter to the Congregation for the Doctrine of...
