A nearly 150-year-old stained-glass church window that depicts a dark-skinned Jesus Christ interacting with women in New Testament scenes has stirred up questions about race, Rhode Island’s role in the slave trade and the place of women in 19th century New England society. The window installed at the long-closed St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Warren in 1878 is the oldest known public example of stained glass on which Christ is depicted as a person of color that one expert has seen. “This window is unique and highly unusual,” said Virginia Raguin, a professor of humanities emerita at the College of...

The Capital Research Foundation published a report that George Soros has poured nearly $21 BILLION dollars into U.S. politics since 2000, aptly calling him "the biggest ATM for leftist political causes in the world." 23 years and $21 billion dollars later, has our country benefited from Soros' generosity? Even Democrats are beginning to catch on to the detrimental consequences of extreme left politicians. Moreover, Soros has created a model for fellow billionaires to fund political activism, expanding his influence far beyond his dollar-and-cents value. Parker Thayer from the Capital Research Center describes Soros' influence in the following: George Soros created...

MUST WATCH 🚨Fox & Friends hosts review Ron DeSantis’ recent trip to Iowa, calling it ‘unbelievably underwhelming’ and saying there was ‘little energy’.“I heard he was having a rally… It just didn’t feel like a RALLY the way a Trump rally would. It felt more like a speech.” pic.twitter.com/UF9fTIqUDJ— Alex Sheppard 🇺🇸 (@NotAlexSheppard) May 14, 2023The only people who seem to be claiming “DeSantis’ trip to Iowa was a success” are on DeSantis’ payroll.@PeteHegseth said “an appearance like this doesn’t make people think he’s the guy who can take Trump.” He also said it was an underwhelming trip,pic.twitter.com/cFvW9hV4PX— Alex Bruesewitz...

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper is continuing his abortion barnstorming tour around the state. Cooper is desperately making the case why abortion is a good thing for the Tar Heel State as he hopes to somehow convince one or more legislator not to override his veto of a common sense bill that would ban abortions after 12 weeks. The Democrat governor’s latest argument is one that is sure to turn off many voters: Killing babies is good for the economy. Here’s more: Among his concerns about Senate Bill 20, Gov. Roy Cooper believes the legislation’s restrictions on abortion — limits...

For the second time in two months, pro-abortion Kansas Gov Laura Kelly has vetoed funding for pregnancy centers that provide abortion alternatives and help and support for pregnant women and their babies. In April, Kelly line-item vetoed the proposed “Alternatives to Abortion Program,” allocating $2 million in grants to enhance and increase resources for women who make the choice to parent or place their child for adoption. Today, Kelly vetoed a second bill aimed at helping pregnant women –this time vetoing a measure would have granted up to $10 million a year in new state income tax credits to donors...

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has vetoed a common sense bill that would protect babies from abortions starting at 12 weeks — well after they have a beating hearts and other organs in place. Cooper is desperately making the case why abortion is a good thing for the Tar Heel State as he hopes to somehow convince one or more legislator not to override his veto of a common sense bill that would ban abortions after 12 weeks. But the battle now turns to the state legislature, where Republicans apparently have enough votes to override Cooper’s veto. But the vote...

Democratic strategist Donna Brazile said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that President Donald Trump’s CNN town hall was “disgusting.” Brazile said, “Look, it was entertaining, it was disgusting, at the same time because this is a guy who continues to repeat the same lie after lie somehow believing it’s going to become true that the election was rigged. It was even more devastating to hear he might consider pardoning the people who attacked our democracy, the Proud Boys.”

Russia has revealed that two of its colonels were killed in Bakhmut while fighting Ukrainian forces. In a rare announcement of combat losses, the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the deaths of Colonel Vyacheslav Makarov of the 4th motorized rifle brigade and Colonel Yevgeny Brovko, deputy commander of the army corps for military-political work. Both are said to have died "while repelling attacks." Tass, a news agency closely affiliated with the Russian government, stated that Russian Ministry of Defense representative Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov confirmed the deaths. Konashenkov said Makarov led his unit on the front line and claimed two Ukrainian...

NBC “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd said Sunday on “Today” that he believed former President Donald Trump has “convinced” his supporters they have not been losing elections. Host Willy Geist said, “Chuck, good morning. It’s good to see you. So, former President Trump had that town hall meeting in New Hampshire this week that was broadcast on CNN, alarmed a lot of people in the country, not least of which, a lot of members of the Republican Party, who say if that’s what we’re putting out there, if that’s what we’re gonna run with, we’re not gonna win independence....

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that CNN was “in the tank” for Donald Trump because the network hosted a town hall with the former president. Host Jon Karl said, “How would potential and real candidates against Donald Trump view that performance at CNN and also the reaction of that applauding Republican crowd in New Hampshire.” Christie said, “You can’t beat Donald Trump by playing bumper pool and hitting it off three cushions and hope it goes in if it goes in the hole. That’s not the way it works.”

Belarus' leader Alexander Lukashenko has missed a major state celebration, further fuelling health speculation. The autocratic politician, 68, usually speaks publicly at the annual National Flag, Emblem and Anthem Day event but his prime minister read a message on his behalf on Sunday. Last week, Mr Lukashenko left Moscow soon after Victory Day parade, skipping lunch with President Vladimir Putin. Mr Lukashenko looked visibly tired, and his right hand was bandaged. He was last seen in public laying flowers in the capital Minsk during Belarus' own Victory Day celebrations on 9 May - a few hours after returning from the...

A prestigious medical clinic is denying a 9-year-old boy the lifesaving kidney transplant he needs just because he doesn’t have the COVID vaccination. Most Americans understand the COVID crisis is over and a sizable percentage of Americans were never vaccinated for what they considered a flu-like virus that presented little in the way of medica issue for 99% of the people who got it. COVID caused a massive political divide, but while most everyone has moved on with their lives as the virus and its effects have waned, that political division is still taking its toll and could cost a...

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said he’s lost track of the informant who was the source for the investigation into alleged corruption centered around President Joe Biden and his family. The informant is the source for a whistleblower who informed Comer about an alleged bribery scheme. Appearing on “Sunday Morning Futures” on Fox News, Comer said at least nine of the ten whistleblowers with knowledge of the situation are “either currently in court, they’re currently in jail, or they’re currently missing.” “Well unfortunately, we can’t track down the informant,” Comer told host Maria Bartiromo. “We’re hopeful that the...

Tucker Carlson Shared Terrifying Message

I usually try search before I post, but didn't see this posted so here I go. I saw this ad before watching a Space Launch on YouTube. Basically it featured the background music style of a soul type of singing you'd find in a Black Church where it featured mostly Black and other minority women supporting abortion. It featured the usual women marching and bellowing about how great abortions are and so forth but what really made me cringe was the abortion doctor at the end saying, "scrubs on, boots on, ready to do the good work." Well, "good work"...

This is the fullest litany I'd be willing to work on, although there are probably some older topics -- search results for topic only reaches to 2014.She's been a self-serving, DNC talking point supporter, who has discovered on various occasions that, there's no honor among thieves, that no matter how much one does, one can never do enough to serve the Deep State/Creep State.File under "politics is always and only about power."

Much has been made of the “Chicago Principles,” formal statements by the University of Chicago concerning the institutional inclusion of opposing political viewpoints. Articulated in 2015, the principles seek to set expectations concerning the accommodation of all perspectives, especially within group settings such as public-speaking events, but also, theoretically, in publications and disciplines. Also produced by the institution is the so-called Kalven Report, which commits the university to a principle of “institutional neutrality.” Some universities are actively copying these principles: starting a center or issuing memoranda. Others even seek to organize a new institution, all of which reveals a widespread...
