In early Mar. 2023, prophecy teacher Amir Tsarfati wrote, “According to those who gather such statistics, of the 2.42 billion people who bear the label ‘Christian’ today, only 6.6% believe in the rapture of the church.” As one who constantly writes and talks about the Rapture, I am well aware that there is widespread unbelief, but it shocks me that only 6.6% of those that call themselves Christian believe in it (if the number is right). This much I do know: Every jot and tittle of the Word will be fulfilled. And the Rapture is going to happen whether church...

WE are all, “Dead Men Walking!” I have been around here for over 25 years, and one thing I notice is how the more things change, the more they get worse, not better. Everyone needs to understand that we the people are the inmates, and what happens to us is of no concern of those running the asylum. You must understand that the well being of our existence is of no concern to them, and that is why they could care less if we know what they are doing. The Clintons had a policy, do everything and anything you can,...

What a strange commentary on our times. One of the only prominent American voices reacting with the appropriate degree of disgust to a horrifying video of the Dalai Lama appearing to abuse a young boy is rapper Cardi B. If you haven't seen the viral footage of the Dalai Lama's February event in northern India – you should. It's shocking and the world cannot look away. The video shows the 87-year-old spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, considered by his followers to be the living embodiment of the virtues of the religion and the reincarnation of the living Buddha, kissing a...

The rise of trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney is a woke fairy tale that has quickly morphed into a very real horror story for women. As an attention seeking gay musical lover, the fame hungry singer gained only moderate success, appearing on stage in The Book of Mormon ensemble and briefly going viral for a bizarre dance routine as a contestant on the game show The Price Is Right. Then began the 'transition into girlhood', all faithfully documented in a host of TikTok videos designed to go viral by appealing to the woke gender extremists and disturbing those standing up for...

Mr Cotter claims he...

Sea level rise has long been expected to be an ongoing and worsening problem for U.S. coasts, but scientists have found that some areas are experiencing "unprecedented" levels of rising seas, raising concerns about the fate of already vulnerable communities. A new study published in Nature Communications on Monday found that since 2010, sea level rise along the nation's Southeast and Gulf coasts has ramped up dramatically, hitting rates that are "unprecedented in at least 120 years." Since 2010, scientists from Tulane University have found that sea levels in those regions have increased by about half an inch every year....

* Sources say King's desire for multi-faith ceremony risks clashing with canon law* Commentator claims wrangle has delayed Coronation's Order of Service releaseKing Charles has been at loggerheads with Church leaders over the role other faiths should play in his Coronation, The Mail on Sunday understands. Church sources say the monarch has been told that his desire for a ‘diverse’ ceremony, including participation by non-Christians, risks clashing with centuries- old canon law, which bars Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and other faith leaders from reading out prayers during the service. Religious affairs commentator Catherine Pepinster claims today she has been told that...

Anheuser-Busch has been having conversations with NASCAR teams about its plans for next year after Kevin Harvick retires, according to people familiar with the matter, and Trackhouse Racing is said to be a favorite to land the brewer’s business. A-B has a long history of sponsoring drivers, races and NASCAR itself, and began partnering with its current team, Stewart-Haas Racing, when Harvick joined in 2014. With Harvick set to retire after this season and join the Fox Sports broadcast booth full time, SHR and its sponsors are now sorting out their futures as it relates to the No. 4 Ford...

Dmitry of WarTranslated today posted a translation from the Pro-Russian Military Blogger known as Murz, an active duty soldier and blogger in the LPR, and a friend of the infamous Igor Girkin (Strelkov), responding to propaganda claims by Anna Dolgaryova. He discusses "Meat Battalions", Russian soldiers sent to die in mass numbers, stating that Russia is now running low on infantry--not just "good" infantry now, but infantry in general. He asks her near the end how she plans to explain away the imminent shifting of the frontline to the East once Ukraine begins its offensive.The true believers in Mother Russia...

At what is clearly a critical time for confirming good federal judges, Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-Calif.) increasingly prolonged absence from the Senate is apparently holding up the process for a number of President Joe Biden’s judicial picks this year. Feinstein, who was hospitalized in early March for shingles and has remained in her San Francisco home since March 7, has missed 60 votes of the 82 taken in the Senate in 2023, per the San Francisco Chronicle. And as the Senate, which has been on recess since March 31, prepares to return on April 17, Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin...

MOSUL, Iraq — In Mosul, Iraq, Christians held the first Divine Liturgy inside St. Michael Monastery on Sunday after suspending services there for over 20 years due to violence and insecurity. The Chaldean Archbishop of Mosul and Aqrah Najib Mikhael Moussa presided over the Divine Liturgy and expressed happiness about the event, hoping that Christians can continue to pray in all the churches and monasteries destroyed and abandoned due to displacement. Hamid Touzi, one of the participants, mentioned that Christians had deliberately stayed at home since 2003 and avoided churches and monasteries due to security threats. “Christians were repeatedly targeted,...

CNA Newsroom, Apr 6, 2023 / 13:00 pm A statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe was smashed in half at Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Corona, California, on April 1. “It was very heartbreaking, especially coming at the beginning of Holy Week,” Maria Bravo, the parish office manager, told CNA in a statement Thursday. “A lot of parishioners were very emotional about it. They brought flowers. Many offered to help in whatever way they could,” she said. The vandalism occurred at about 11:30 p.m. on the Saturday on the eve of Palm Sunday. The vandal, a male, was caught on...

“Get woke, go broke,” has become a rallying cry of the political right whenever they see a brand make the slightest effort to align itself with liberal or progressive values. It’s a meme that allows MAGA country to believe that there is ongoing, massive backlash to products that acknowledge and celebrate marginalized communities. But the supposed boycotts never seem to be reflected in the bottom line. Besides, by the time we would expect to notice any effect, conservatives have already moved on to the next outrage. Kid Rock and Travis Tritt declared war this week against brewer Anheuser-Busch for a...

Should U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, seek re-election next year? The issue divides registered Utah voters, according to an O.H. Predictive Insights poll released earlier this week. While Utahns have a net positive approval rating of the former Massachusetts governor and 2012 Republican presidential nominee, that does not mean most want him to seek re-election. Romney has a 51% approval rating in the state, while 43% disapprove of him. Even so, just 38% of voters said Romney should run again, while 42% said no; 20% said they were unsure. Republicans generally oppose a second Romney term; 36% think he should...

Maybe if his name was something a little flashier and show-business friendly like Billy Thunderman, Bill Quateman might have been much bigger than he was. What if Elton John stuck with his original name Reginald Dwight? Would he have been the star that he was? Sometimes it's all in a name. Anyhow, fifty years ago at this very time, the spring of 1973, a 21-year-old singer named Bill Quateman burst into the Billboard HOT 100 with a song called "Only Love". Bill Quateman - Only Love (1973) Discovered and signed to a recording contract by Clive Davis, then the president...
