"And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

"I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) announced Tuesday that he will introduce the "conservative alternative" to the debt ceiling agreement reached by President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. What are the details? Like other Republicans, Paul believes that McCarthy made significant concessions that essentially kick the can down the road and do not solve the problem of government spending. Paul, therefore, said he will propose an amendment to the so-called "Fiscal Responsibility Act" that would raise the debt ceiling only $500 billion in order to return to the negotiating table. His proposal thus solves the immediate problem of the U.S....

America has fewer children now than it did 10 years ago. That’s not in terms of percentages but raw numbers. New Census Bureau data released on Thursday show how the age pyramid of the United States is looking less like a pyramid and more like an upside-down onion or a vase. America has more people in their 60s than we have under age 10. We’ll get to that onion-vase in a minute, but let’s just start with the minor shortage, which was discovered in the most recent census . “In 2020, there were over 73.1 million children under age 18,”...

More – and more – Major League Baseball players are rebuking the Los Angeles Dodgers for their decision to promote the drag queen ideology – which mocks Jesus, the Bible and the Catholic church – by giving the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" a team award.

Their ideology is an offense to Catholics, who lobbied the team to drop its plans to honor them, which it did. However, LGBT activists then turned on the team, implying the Dodgers were promoting an atmosphere that could result in the deaths...

VIDEOFor the second year in a row, Politico wished YOURS TRULY a Happy Birthday on their AM Playbook page. I was actually MORE surprised this second time rather than the first last year. Why? Because last October I wrote an absolutely BRUTAL story about Politico publishing ELEVEN stories at the same time on their home page on the same subject: namely how the perp who attacked Paul Pelosi was an evil MAGA Republican for which Republican officials must apologize for despite the fact the guy was a nudist dope smoking hippie type who live at a home in Berkeley with...

A coalition of education experts, governors and lawmakers are pushing back against the "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" policies that have become the norm in public colleges and universities around the country. Several states have legislative efforts underway to require intellectual diversity, and professors tell The Center Square they welcome the change.
