"And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance." "Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." "For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is...

And his most beloved song condemns mankind to an unrelentingly cruel, moronic fate.Sixty years ago, Beatlemania was rocking the world of music. Writing in the Atlantic, Colin Fleming refers to 1963 as “that magical and formative year for the band,” “the year the Beatles found their voice,” and “the band’s annus mirabilis.” It set the stage for their fabled first visit to America in February 1964.I was 10 years old in 1963 but I well remember black-and-white newscasts of large British audiences screaming adulation at Beatles performances. Particular attention, it seemed, fell upon their founder, co-lead vocalist, and guitarist John...

Emma Roberts has recently landed into hot water after she promoted her latest brand collaboration on social media. Taking to Instagram, Emma posted a video in which she shared her morning routine and could be seen making herself an iced coffee before enjoying yoga with her dogs. In a video, Emma did her voiceover, saying, “Hey guys. I wanted to show you how I make my iced lattes with whole milk.” The American Horror Story star stated, “From being on set, to my book club, I have no time to be sick. And on top of that, and most importantly,...

Well, well, well. The world seems amazed at the news that the Chinese spy balloon that meandered over the entire continental United States this winter was, you know, spying. That’s what spy balloons do: they spy. They collect intelligence — in this case, information from some of America’s most sensitive sites (I was going to say “secure sites,” but that would clearly be inaccurate). What do they do then? Like bees collecting pollen, they transmit what they collected back to the hive, which, mirabile dictu, just happens to be located in Beijing. Anyone who was paying attention knew this. Did...

I want to donate directly to DJT. Any suggestions?

“I Don’t Care Anymore” was released by Phil Collins in 1983 and is the lead single from his second solo album “Hello, I Must Be Going!”

Whiskey is for drinking, not hoarding.Regrets, I've had a few, not limited to consuming drugstore sushi, most of my high school class photos, and buying a small quantity of Ethereum (which I regret to inform you is cryptocurrency) in the spring of 2021. Not on the list: drinking every last drop of my bottle of LeNell's Red Hook Rye, which now lists for up to $100,000 on the open market. I would like to state for the record that I did not spend the equivalent of a Porsche 911 on this bottle of whiskey (maybe if I'd picked up that...

Sony Pictures Entertainment’s latest trailer for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse promoted gender affirmation and child mutilation with a “Protect Trans Kids” flag prominently displayed. At the 2:03 mark of the trailer, Gwen Stacy’s Spider-Gwen appears to be sitting in her room contemplating losing her friend, Miles Morales. In her room above her door is a “Transgender Flag” that reads “Protect Trans Kids.” This flag is a symbol of “gender affirmation” and surgical procedures done to affirm an individual’s misguided belief that they are the opposite sex from what they were born. Bishop Michael Burbidge instructs the faith in his A...

Former President Donald J. Trump secured another legal victory over Stormy Daniels on Tuesday, with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reportedly ordering the pornographic actress to cover an additional $121,972.56 of his legal fees incurred during her failed defamation lawsuit.

It's actually a classic combination, if you think about it.Learning how to balance the five elements of flavor — umami/salt, bitter, sweet, sour and spice — is one of the fundamental tenets of both cooking and mixology. For many cocktail lovers on Instagram, seeing a reel of a drinks influencer cheekily sprinkling microplaned parmesan cheese atop an Espresso Martini may seem like pure chaos, but it is, in fact, the opposite: It’s a quintessential example of umami from the cheese balancing the bitterness of coffee. Despite the sticker shock one might feel about this combination, coffee and cheese historically do...

Explanation: The largest volcano in our Solar System is on Mars. Although three times higher than Earth's Mount Everest, Olympus Mons will not be difficult for humans to climb because of the volcano's shallow slopes and Mars' low gravity. Covering an area greater than the entire Hawaiian volcano chain, the slopes of Olympus Mons typically rise only a few degrees at a time. Olympus Mons is an immense shield volcano, built long ago by fluid lava. A relatively static surface crust allowed it to build up over time. Its last eruption is thought to have been about 25 million years...

Saw a huge 6.3 million share trade in Ford shares after hours. Wow. Anyone knowledgeable enough to explain that one?

The alarming escalation of animosity toward Christians in America can no longer be ignored. The pro-abortion, anti-family radical Left has sought tirelessly to undermine the nuclear family, religion, and traditional values for years. And it's working. A recent Wall Street Journal poll found that just 39 percent of Americans say their religious faith is very important to them, down from 62 percent a quarter of a century ago. As radical leftists advance their secular agenda, intolerance for those who hold true to Christian values has become increasingly palpable. The recent shooting at a private Christian academy in Nashville by Audrey...

The historic investment will “leverage the trillions of machine-driven computations needed to help us finally figure out how to create a vegan sandwich for Starbucks.” Seattle-based, global coffee giant Starbucks announced that it is investing $1 billion into AI technology to help it develop a vegan breakfast sandwich. The decision comes after years of struggling to come up with an entirely plant-based version of its popular breakfast sandwiches. Starbucks announced its partnership with San Francisco-based artificial intelligence research laboratory SnackGPT to “leverage the trillions of machine-driven computations needed to help us finally figure out how to create a vegan...

The statement of facts is more informative than the indictment. If Trump had simply written Daniels a check for $130K from his personal funds there would be no case. But that's not how the payment was made.

The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s criminal case in New York City has set the next in-person hearing for Dec. 4, roughly two months before the official start of the 2024 Republican presidential primary calendar. Trump was arraigned in Manhattan in front of Judge Juan Merchan on Tuesday, where he was charged with 34 felony counts related to hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. Trump pleaded not guilty to the charges. At the December in-person court appearance, Merchan will decide on expected motions to dismiss the case. The Iowa Republican...

Former President Trump and his legal team won’t be barred from publicly discussing the case in which he was charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. After much speculation about whether a gag order would be imposed on parties in the case, one was not requested during the Tuesday arraignment — and the judge presiding over the case said he wouldn’t have granted one if it had. Legal observers had wondered ahead of the high-profile trial whether Judge Juan Merchan would impose the uncommon order, which would have blocked Trump and his team from talking publicly about the...
