When the disciples asked Jesus about the signs of His coming and the end of the age (Matt. 24:3), the first thing He said was, “Take heed that no man deceive you” (Matt. 24:4). Deception is a major sign of the end of the age, and it will reach its peak during the Tribulation Period. Jesus mentioned it four times in the Olivet Discourse (Matt. 24:4, 5, 11, and 24). It confirms a vision that Daniel had about a coming leader that would cast the truth to the ground (Dan. 8:12). The angel Gabriel revealed that this coming leader (that...

Rishi Sunak has said he believes that 100 per cent of women do not have penises. The prime minister has put himself at odds with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer by declaring that 100 per cent of women do not have male genitals. By contrast, Sir Keir earlier this month suggested that as many as one in every thousand women has a penis. Asked whether it is true that 100 per cent of women do not have a penis, in an interview with Tory-supporting website Conservative Home, Mr Sunak said: “Yes, of course.” He added: “We should always have compassion...

An “ambitious” climate bill that would speed up Colorado’s decarbonization efforts, incentivize the purchase of electric lawn equipment and streamline the regulation of carbon-sequestration wells passed the state Senate on a Democratic-led party-line vote Friday. Senate Bill 16, sponsored by Democratic Sen. Chris Hansen of Denver, is one of several bills trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that is moving through the Legislature this year, but it stands out for the breadth of sectors and activities that it could affect. An amendment made Thursday to the bill, for example, would fine utilities as much as $20,000 per day for failing...

WASHINGTON—The classified documents that investigators say were leaked by a junior member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard indicate the extent to which U.S. spy agencies rely on clandestinely intercepted communications to keep tabs on their adversaries and allies alike. In vivid examples, the documents track foreign governments’ military movements, diplomatic efforts and clandestine weapons sales, as well as debates in friendly capitals and more. The powerful eavesdropping program that enables some of that intelligence gathering is due to lapse at the end of the year. To persuade Congress to renew the program, Biden administration officials had been debating whether...

Five years ago, Andrew Gillum was one of the brightest stars in Florida politics. The then-Tallahassee mayor had a national profile. He won the 2018 Democratic nomination for Florida governor. And he nearly defeated Ron DeSantis, losing by fewer than 34,000 votes, or 0.41 percentage points. Then came the fall. In 2020, he was found by police in a South Beach hotel room in the company of a man who appeared to have overdosed on drugs. And last year, he was indicted by a federal grand jury, accused of lying to FBI agents and defrauding campaign mega donors and organizations...

A new COVID-19 variant fueling a rise in cases is causing a new symptom that has not been associated with the virus during the three-plus years of the pandemic.The so-called Arcturus strain — officially known as XBB.1.16 — is believed to be one of the most infectious versions of the Omicron variant to date. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) variant tracker, XBB.1.16 United States cases have doubled in the last week.Itchy, red eyes not seen in earlier waves "are symptoms of the new Omicron variant," according to a brand-new report by the Mayo Clinic."One new...

Seventy years ago, in 1953, Ian Fleming, a British WWII planner and supervisor for commandos, published a brief espionage novel, Casino Royale, and thus James Bond was born. The book allowed Fleming to reimagine British imperial greatness and continue in fiction his command over manly men willing and able to kill and die for a cause, for the thrill of the fight, and for pride. He could speak for civilized society’s necessary assassins.By the use of his imagination, Fleming became far more successful and important than he had ever been in public service. He ended up orchestrating one of Britain’s...

WASHINGTON (Army News Service, July 12, 2011) -- "There was a little bit of a meat skirt, for lack of better words, hanging around the edges. It was oozing.

As you’ve likely already heard, Facebook’s parent company Meta is laying off large numbers of people in an effort to remain financially viable. This stressful situation has been exacerbated by the absence of much of its management who are working remotely, some from other countries. How could things have possibly gone so far downhill so quickly? Do you suppose there might have been something less than ideal about their business practices and how they managed their workforce? Perhaps that idea will resonate a bit more after you hear from Madelyn Machado, who was a recruiter for Meta earning an eye-popping...

When you read about crime in NYC, sometimes you get that feeling that half the city’s residents are criminals and tens of thousands of people routinely break the law. In the case of shoplifting, however, a very small number of cheats are actually to blame for an amazing percentage of the crime—in fact, 327 individuals are responsible for over a third of such thefts and have been arrested an outrageous 6,000 times.The New York Times reports:Nearly a third of all shoplifting arrests in New York City last year involved just 327 people, the police said. Collectively, they were arrested and...

President Donald Trump has been proven right yet again as new information has come to light that appears to strongly indicate that the U.S. is careening toward a major global conflict.In the wake of a leak of hundreds of highly classified U.S. documents on Discord Inc.’s online platform, new data has come to light that has indicated the Chinese Communist Party’s reported secret support for Russia as warfare in Eastern Europe has ramped up.“The way the U.S. is going, we will soon be in World War lll, with NO AMMUNITION!” President Trump stated this week, decrying the military equipment and...

A crowd of more than a hundred rowdy teenagers turned violent in Downtown Chicago on Saturday night as dozens torched and smashed cars while blaring music in a 'teen trend' that left two with gunshot wounds. Shocking footage showed some teenagers jumping on top of a bus while others started a massive brawl after descending on Millennium Park and attempting to breach barricades. Gunshots rang out with some rounds striking two teenage boys aged 16 and 17. The two youths were transported to a nearby hospital in fair condition. A total of 15 people, nine adults and six children were...

Big money investors pumped billions into buying up apartment buildings in the pandemic era. The deals were often based on the assumption that rents would continue to increase. But rents are flatlining and expenses are increasing, leaving landlords to face big losses. While offices have been going through a paradigmatic shift as more workers do their jobs remotely, apartment buildings have experienced robust demand from tenants. But fault lines have emerged for investors who paid top dollar for assets that depended on substantial rent increases and persistent low interest rates to achieve profitability. Those kinds of optimistic projections became increasingly...

The giant investment company's global influence on politics and economics is enormous. BlackRock is one of the most powerful organizations in the world, and its nefarious role in global economics and politics is becoming more apparent. The investment giant is pushing woke politics in the form of corporate social credit scores (ESG), which includes the dangerous “net zero” and LGBT agenda. BlackRock is also responsible for rigging the financial systems and has control over a significant portion of the world’s wealth. In order to fight back, we need to know what we are dealing with. In this article, we take...

So, last night there was a so-called "mass shooting" event in Dadeville, Alabama. Once again, it was a black celebratory event that got shot up. The Liberals will blame guns. Meanwhile, per the 2018 Alabama Vital Statistics publication, page 14 - the black illegitimate birthrate is 90% for Tallapoosa County. So, I report, and you decide what the problem is - guns or culture.

China is expanding the populations it targets for the draft, even as a leaked U.S. military assessment says its current Air Force can achieve superiority over Taiwan. China said that if war comes, veterans and college-educated individuals will be a priority to be called into the military, Fox News reported. Although no specific goal was announced, in the past, U.S. officials have said they believe war could break out by 2027. Heino Klinck, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for east Asia and military attaché to China, told Fox News that the step is designed to offset the 2 million-strong...

That incident at Stanford has really brought attention to this issue. It’s great to see people responding. The Washington Free Beacon reports: "The state of Texas is updating its bar application to include questions about whether applicants have engaged in “incivility and violations of school policies,” according to a letter from the Texas Supreme Court obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The change is a direct response to an incident at Stanford Law School last month in which students shouted down a federal judge. Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) wrote to the bar in March suggesting the change, arguing that...
