Attorney Tom Renz of Renz Law has been a fighter for the people in the vaccine injustices of the past three years. He warns that people must be prepared for the possibility of World War III. It’s alarming and credible. “By the way, if you think they won’t use a war, a world war, to help promote the great reset to take over our country, to eliminate more freedoms, I’ve got another thing coming for you,” Mr. Renz began. “We’re not just going to be fighting; if there’s a World War, we’re not just going to be fighting the countries...

“Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good.” — Thomas Sowell. “Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good.” — Thomas Sowell Historians of the future, poaching ‘possum snouts in sorrel sauce over their campfires, will trace the fall of Western Civ in the 2020s to the dissolving hallucination that was called the financial economy. It was a phantom parasitical organism that thrived on...

Jean-Pierre: "When it comes to illegal migration, you have seen it come down by more than 90%.”

Franklin, Tenn.-based Community Health Systems is switching one of its recruitment focuses to international nursing in a bid to further reduce reliance on contract labor. Speaking on the system's webcast to discuss first-quarter results, CHS President and CFO Kevin Hammons said such a move would help with the situation because there is a "longer lag time to embed" such international staff. CHS salaries and benefits in the first quarter totaled $1.37 billion compared with $1.33 billion in the same period in 2022. The 2023 figure represented 43.9 percent of net operating revenues compared with 42.6 percent in the same period...

This is last data dump for mortgage demand (applications) before Biden’s idiotic woke mortgage policies go into effect (taxing those with good credit to subsidize those with lousy credit) take effect. I call this Bolshevik Biden’s Mortgage Market. Mortgage applications decreased 1.2 percent from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending April 28, 2023. The Market Composite Index, a measure of mortgage loan application volume, decreased 1.2 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from one week earlier. On an unadjusted basis, the Index decreased 0.4 percent compared...

"Having summoned His twelve disciples" (Matt. 10:1). Jesus can overcome any inadequacy you might have. Most people think of the disciples as stained-glass saints who didn't have to struggle with the faults and frailties of normal people. But they had inadequacies just like we all do. Seeing how Jesus dealt with them gives us hope that He can use us too. One inadequacy common to all the disciples was their lack of understanding. For example, Luke 18 tells us Jesus gave them details about His future suffering, death, and resurrection, but they didn't understand anything He said (vv. 31-34). Jesus...

There is little purpose in prayer if we do not fully believe God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. I am persuaded that God delights in generously pouring out blessings upon his beloved children. David the psalmist insisted that God is bountiful and inclined to compassion, that his mercy is great and that it is impossible for him to reject any who implore him for his help. The Lord rejoices in pardoning sins; he is always propitious. Webster’s Dictionary defines propitious as “kind, gracious, merciful, helpful.” It also says propitious means “favorable as a propitious breeze.” For...

A text message sent by Tucker Carlson that set off a panic at the highest levels of Fox on the eve of its billion-dollar defamation trial showed its most popular host sharing his private, inflammatory views about violence and race.

A Louisiana mother said in a House Health and Welfare Committee hearing on Tuesday that she knew that her biological daughter was transgender due to her liking vegetables. The mother testified to the committee during discussions on House Bill 463, which would create the “Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act” and prohibit “certain procedures to alter the sex of a minor child.” She said she knew that her biological daughter was a boy because her “food choices were odd. They were always like green vegetables, raw green vegetables.” The mother said she had taken her child to specialists and neurologists, and...

Explosions hit Russian targets in and near occupied Crimea overnight into Wednesday, as Ukraine appeared to be intensifying attacks on Russian military strongholds ahead of an expected counteroffensive. In Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula that Russia illegally annexed in 2014, drones struck a border guard post in Simferopol on Tuesday night, according to photos and video shared on social media and geolocated by Radio Liberty, a U.S. government-funded broadcaster.

Several Russian cities have announced they will scale back this year's Victory Day celebrations. Russian authorities have cited security reasons and attacks from pro-Ukrainian forces for the changes. Explosions and fires have occurred in Russia in recent weeks. But some have argued that the reduced events show the Kremlin is nervous about celebrations turning into shows of dissent against its invasion of Ukraine. Great pomp and shows of military might are the usual hallmarks of Victory Day, which marks the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany on 9 May 1945. One of the day's most recognisable events is the Immortal...

Lawrence Summers wanted $1 million to fund an online poetry project his wife was developing. The former Treasury secretary and onetime Harvard University president turned to Jeffrey Epstein. “I need small scale philanthropy advice. My life will be better if i raise $1m for Lisa,” Mr. Summers said in an email to Epstein in April 2014, referring to his wife, Elisa New, a Harvard professor. “Mostly it will go to make it a pbs series and for teacher training. Ideas?” Epstein replied that they could meet in Cambridge, Mass. Mr. Summers invited him to dinner, according to a trove of...

And the survival of a living breathing green planet, the number one enemy.
