Donald Trump tops His Fraudulency Joe Biden by six points in the latest Rasmussen poll, half of which was taken after the Deep State’s latest phony indictment of the former president.What we have here is another poll that shows disgraced Attorney General Merrick Garland’s attempt to rig the 2024 presidential election for his corrupt boss Rapey Joe has so far failed. This is not the first post-indictment poll to show that the American people see through the Fascist Democrat Party’s latest attempt to launch a dictatorship by arresting a political opponent. A Harvard/Harris poll released over the weekend revealed terrible...

As The New York Times itself noted in a commendable June 20, 2008 correction, the Romans named Judea and the Galilee, where Jesus was born and then lived, “Palestina” more than a century after he was crucified. The Times correction 15 years ago accurately stated: The Malula Journal article on April 22, about efforts in the village of Malula, Syria, and two neighboring villages to preserve Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus, referred incorrectly to the name of the region where Jesus spent most of his time. It was Galilee — not Palestine, which derives from the word Palestina, the...

The United Nations arose out of the ashes and rubble of World War II with the promise of genuine international cooperation and lasting world peace. But that promise has long since turned into a cruel joke, as was vividly and revoltingly demonstrated on May 15, when for the first time in its history, the UN observed Nakba Day, the Palestinian Arabs’ lamentation over the “catastrophe” of the founding of the modern state of Israel in 1948. Would the UN mark the founding of any other nation as a “catastrophe”? Of course not. But the august international body has become a...

Toby Addison, 21, recalled the mortifying moment years prior when he was kicked out of the gym for “creepily” staring at a woman — despite the fact he cannot see — while on the “Happy Hour Podcast” earlier in June. Addison, who shares his life as a blind person on his TikTok account, @blindtobes, said he was “minding his own business” during a workout when he heard a woman say: “Oh, do you like the view?” “Obviously I don’t really know where I’m looking a lot of the time,” the content creator shared on the podcast. “I was just staring...

Despite shrines being exempt from Pope Francis’ restrictions on the Traditional Latin Mass, England’s national shrine is effectively banning pilgrims’ ability to celebrate and attend the ancient rite both in private and in public. Participants of two recent pilgrimages were expecting to be able to celebrate the traditional Mass at the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham earlier this month, but the organizers of both received notification that the local bishop would not be granting such permission in any of the churches in Walsingham. The National Association of Catholic Families, which aims to give mutual moral, spiritual and social support...

The Trojan War is so vividly described in Homer’s Iliad that it is considered by many to be historical fact and not simply the subject of an epic poem. Troy, an ancient, wealthy city in Asia Minor was ruled by King Priam whose son Paris was invited to judge which of the goddesses—Aphrodite, Hera, or Athena—was entitled to be called the most beautiful. Aphrodite promised Paris to grant him the most beautiful woman in the world, who was Helen, wife of Menelaus, the king of Sparta. Paris stole Helen, and they eloped to Troy. To recover Helen, the Greeks launched...

Editor's Note ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON ARRIVED IN MONTEREY IN THE FALL OF 1879; it was a woman, whom he would soon marry, who brought him here. But the journey, which involved a transatlantic voyage by ship and a transcontinental trip by train, had ill effects on his health, and in the few months he spent in Monterey he was recuperating as his future wife, Fanny Van de Grift Osbourne, finalized her divorce in San Francisco. During that time, he boarded at the French Hotel at 530 Houston St.; it is now called the Stevenson House, and is owned by California...

OSLO, June 19 (Reuters) - Large and mid-size private firms in Norway must have boards comprising at least 40% women, Norway's government proposed in a bill on Monday, in a further push to break the glass ceiling preventing women from reaching top positions. The Nordic country was the first in the world to introduce a 40% gender quota on the boards of listed companies, in 2005, kick-starting an international push to force companies to have more women on boards. In December, Norway's government proposed an extension of its quota law to apply to large private companies. On Monday, it said...

Surely at some point, as a modern-day watchman on the wall, you have experienced that sharp smirk or the raising of unbelieving eyebrows as you attempt to explain to a lost friend or family member that the world we now see unfolding before our very eyes is exactly as the Bible said it would be at the end of the age and that the long-awaited return of Jesus to this earth is finally upon us! Perhaps your warnings have even evoked laughter or biting sarcasm, scoffing of a more contentious nature? None of this, however, has really come as a...

Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David M. Friedman said Thursday that it is "despicable" that U.S. President Joe Biden is refusing to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since the latter's election in November...Friedman was one of the most consequential ambassadors to Israel in U.S. history, playing a key role in forging the Abraham Accords, a series of peace agreements between Israel and several Arab states in the region.Friedman blamed the leadership of the American Jewish community for the impasse as well, because it had joined the Israeli left in condemning Netanyahu's proposed judicial reforms, and had not criticized Biden.In...

If you thought he would go away and stop whipping up racial division, you were wrong. Former President Obama, one of the worst of the 20th Century, decided to lend his voice to the woke train, attacking black Republican Tim Scott and Indian Republican Nikki Haley. Why, you may ask, would a black man attack fellow minorities? According to Obama, it’s because Scott and Haley are too positive about America, and not pessimistic enough about race relations. For a quick refresher, here’s the working definition of irony: a technique of indicating, as through character or plot development, an intention or...

Researchers found the KRAS G12C inhibitor adagrasib showed promising activity suppressing cancer growth not only within the lungs but also in brain metastases for patients with KRAS G12 C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

A recently divorced woman lost her entire 401(k) savings to a scammer she met on Tinder who convinced her to invest in cryptocurrency — the latest “pig butchering” scheme targeting lonely people. Rebecca Holloway, 42, a mother-of-three, said she was swindled out of $100,000 by a scammer claiming to be a French entrepreneur named “Fred” after the two matched on Tinder in March, the Daily Mail reports. She added: “Looking back, the signs are so obvious. But at the time you want to believe it’s real.” The scam that hit Holloway is the latest example of “pig butchering,” a term...
