Donald Trump Jr. has said he signed a check used as evidence by prosecutors in the hush money investigation that resulted in his father's historic indictment. Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records as part of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's probe, which focused on a $130,000 sum that Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen paid adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep an alleged affair she claimed she had with Trump a secret ahead of the 2016 Election. Trump has denied having an affair with Daniels, and has accusing prosecutors of engaging...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) warned former President Trump against hiring far-right activist Laura Loomer, calling her “mentally unstable” and a “documented liar.” Greene tweeted on Friday that Loomer, a former congressional candidate who has repeatedly made anti-Muslim remarks, attacked her for supporting Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) bid for House speaker and for not endorsing Loomer in her congressional campaign. The fiery Republican’s remarks came after The New York Times reported that Trump is asking campaign aides to find a position for Loomer on his 2024 reelection campaign or with a super PAC supporting it. Greene, a close ally of Trump,...

"To afford a $500,000 home, a person would typically need to make about $140,000 a year, said Realtor.com economic data analyst Hannah Jones." “For each of these price points, the minimum income required to stay in line with affordability recommendations is well above the national median,” Jones noted. "Real median household income in the U.S. was $70,784 as of 2021, according to the latest figures from the Census Bureau."

Webb’s infrared image highlights the planet’s dramatic rings and dynamic atmosphere. This zoomed-in image of Uranus, captured by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) on 6 February 2023, reveals stunning views of the planet’s rings. The planet displays a blue hue in this representative-colour image, made by combining data from two filters (F140M, F300M) at 1.4 and 3.0 microns, shown here as blue and orange, respectively. On the right side of the planet is an area of brightening at the pole facing the Sun, known as a polar cap. This polar cap is unique to Uranus because it is the only planet...

Russian forces have likely seized the center of the hotly contested city of Bakhmut, where they are threatening an essential supply route for Ukrainian forces in the west, British intelligence said Friday. The eastern city is one of the last urban areas of Donetsk that has withstood Russian incursion. Now mostly reduced to rubble, the city center has been the focus of intense fighting for months. “Ukraine’s key 0506 supply route to the west of the town is likely severely threatened,” the British intelligence update warned. Ukrainian military expert Vladyslav Selezniov previously said that forces will have to retreat if...

Trans Insanity - Gender Dysphoria, Grooming and Mutilation This is a repost from a homily in January, but with the increased grooming of our children to "affirm" their sexuality through the insane use of unapproved drugs and physical mutilation, we thought it was important to share once again.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Friday responded to the latest media witch hunt. Propublica on Thursday launched an attack on Clarence Thomas because he took vacations with a billionaire Republican donor. Clarence Thomas and his wife, Ginni were treated to lavish vacations by Harlan Crow, a prominent Republican donor. The Democrat-media complex attacked Clarence Thomas for taking vacations with a friend and are now demanding accountability. Last month the federal judiciary changed the rules and said private jet travel paid for by others must be disclosed. Clarence Thomas released a statement on his private jet travels paid for by...

Vice President Kamala Harris will be traveling to Nashville, Tennessee on Friday to meet with Democratic lawmakers who have been expelled from the General Assembly. Harris will meet with Democratic Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, two state lawmakers who were removed from the assembly after leading protests on the House floor following the Covenant School shooting. She will also be meeting with groups of young protesters who have protested for tighter gun control following the tragic massacre. "While in Tennessee, the Vice President will make clear what happened in Nashville, continue to call on Congress to renew the assault...

The popular British historian Tom Holland recently commented that Christianity should preserve its “weirdness.” He meant that Christians should resist the temptation to turn the faith into one bland mythic or mystic system among many. At the heart of the strangeness of Christianity, of course, is the cross of Jesus. It is surpassingly odd that the first devotees of Jesus enthusiastically held up the cross as a sign of their faith. In the Greco-Roman culture of that time, there was nothing more objectionable, shameful or pathetic than the victim of a crucifixion—and yet Peter, Paul, John, Thomas, Mary Magdalene and...

College swimming champion Riley Gaines has filmed herself being ambushed by screaming trans activists and was allegedly hit 'multiple times by a guy in a dress' following a speech about saving women's sports. A terrified Gaines, 23, was forced to barricade herself inside a room for around three hours at the San Francisco State University campus last night after a group of activists ambushed her. Gaines' husband, Louis Barker, said he had brief conversations with his wife while she was locked in the room for nearly three hours. 'She told me she was hit multiple times by a guy in...

A man walked into the station with a shopping cart on fire and the building’s front doors, ceiling and lobby chairs also caught fire, police said. The man ran out of the building in an unknown direction. Los Angeles Fire Department arson units responded to the investigation. On Friday, station officials reported that robbery operations “will be closed indefinitely” because of the damage caused by the fire.

ABSTRACT: Jesus of Nazareth underwent Jewish and Roman trials, was flogged, and was sentenced to death by crucifixion. The scourging produced deep stripelike lacerations and appreciable blood loss, and it probably set the stage for hypovolemic shock as evidenced by the fact that Jesus was too weakened to carry the crossbar (patibulum) to Golgotha. At the site of crucifixion his wrists were nailed to the patibulum, and after the patibulum was lifted onto the upright post, (stipes) his feet were nailed to the stipes. The major pathophysiologic effect of crucifixion was an interference with normal respirations. Accordingly, death resulted primarily...

Democrat state representatives switching parties and one special election over the last month gave Republicans three new supermajorities in state legislatures, bringing the total to 25 nationwide. This week, North Carolina state Rep. Trisha Cotham announced her departure from the Democrat party and effectively changed her party affiliation to the Republican Party, ultimately giving the Republicans in the Tar Heel State a veto-proof supermajority in both the House and Senate. Republicans in Raleigh now have a supermajority in both the House and Senate chambers to serve as a check on Governor Cooper with the power to override vetoes. #ncpol https://t.co/lyAWpWbDOI...

To fulfill the Sign of Jonah, Jesus had to be in the grave for three days and three nights. This contradicts traditions which say that Jesus died on a Friday afternoon. There is a resolution to this problem.

They released Biden’s March Jobs Report today … Good Friday. A holiday. As anyone who doesn’t have their head completely buried in the sand would have guessed, jobs are down, except for in the public sector. Oh goodie, more people working for the government. And of course, things are even worse than they’re actually reporting in the media. Take a look at this: of the 236k added, 75k were second jobs. pic.twitter.com/lsGactxQpZ — Frog Capital (@FrogNews) April 7, 2023 Yay! Unemployment is down … but it’s because people are working two jobs to survive in this economy. Did we mention...

Doing a driving trip to visit our son and DIL in Fayetteville NC. He’s stationed at Bragg. This is the third time we’ve done the drive from AZ. Try to do different stops along the way. We ate lunch on the beach outside of Mobile last year and we’d like to stay a couple of nights at Orange Beach. I’d like to stay on the beach so looking for hotel and food suggestions. We normally stay at Marriott chain hotels as they have a nice reward program. I think their brands at Orange Beach don’t have direct beach access. We...

It’s the economy, stupid. Those famous words from Democratic strategist James Carville must be haunting President Biden’s White House as the economy begins to slow — and just as the 2024 election moves into view. Most recently, the job market appears to be faltering, with March gains pegged at 236,000, way down from February’s 311,000 and the 334,000 recorded on average over the past six months. This is challenging for Biden, who hopes to run for reelection and has relied on solid employment gains to prove that his “economic plan is working.” It’s been a tough sell, seeing that inflation...

A new Dutch TV show has recently aired in which adults stand in front of children and strip naked, giving them the chance to “ask questions” about their naked bodies. The Dutch show, Simply Naked, is allegedly meant to promote “body positivity.” However, they take body positivity to a completely inappropriate level, stripping completely naked in front of children that are 10-12 years old and showing their genitalia. The kids then have to ask them questions about their bodies. The host Edson da Graça said, “The aim is to teach children that each and every body is different and that...
