MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (WBOY) - This weekend, Pride events will be held in Morgantown. One event that was initially scheduled won’t be occurring though due to a “lack of appropriate” police staffing. The Morgantown Pride Parade was set to take place on Friday night at 6 p.m., but instead, it will now be a march of solidarity. The march will start behind the old Panera Bread building, which was located at 207 Willey Street, and will end at 123 Pleasant Street. “Morgantown Pride wishes to report that we have unfortunately been unable to receive confirmation that the Pride Parade can proceed...

The Paramount+ series Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies has been canceled after just one season, making it the latest woke TV show to fall flat with audiences. To add insult to injury, Paramount+ will remove the series from its platform, effectively erasing any trace of its existence. The cost-saving decision — the studio will presumably reap tax benefits while also saving on residuals and administrative expenses — is an indication of just how few people were streaming the show. Pink Ladies creator Annabel Oakes posted a desperate message to her Instagram Stories Friday, blasting the studio’s decision. “In a...

It just seems to me that, ever since Obama, The United States has been on a steady moral and cultural decline even the '60's couldn't germinate.

The fomenting of the hysteria surrounding Climate Change is the pandemic that is never going away, and there’s a reason for that. No, man-made activities are not causing the climate to change to any great degree, but the amount of power and money being generate by the climate gatekeepers is truly a change agent. Climate Change is a religion now, the world’s leaders its high priests, and you and I are the sacrifice that they are offering to their god. So who is the keynote speaker at the Summit for a New Global Financial Pact? None other than our little...

Parents of an Ohio fifth-grader say their son’s First Amendment rights were violated when he was coerced during class into making a pagan idol, that is, the likeness of a spirit worshiped by Native Americans. Students at one of Lexington Local Schools’ elementary institutions were instructed in class to make a Kachina doll, used by the Hopi Indians as a “sacred object” to teach children about spirits believed to have “special powers,” such as curing the sick, as the class worksheet explains. “What type of luck does your doll bring?” says the worksheet, which instructs the students to create the...

June is designated as “Pride Month,” which is allegedly about inclusion and diversity, but the Pride Police don’t actually believe in that. There is no diversity of opinions on LGBTQ issues. It’s “My Way” or the Bigot Highway. They say Pride Month is about visibility, but there shall be no visibility for any resistance. Their mentality: agree, or vanish. In Grand Rapids, Michigan, “scandal” erupted when a news manager at WOOD-TV wrote a memo to staff to remember that there were two differing views on Pride events in the community. Quickly, the station’s owner – Nexstar, the largest owner of...

In a speech marking the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade, Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday condemned the conservative justices for creating a "health care crisis in America." “How dare they,” Harris, the first female vice president, said to a crowd gathered in Charlotte, North Carolina. She also criticized abortion bans that have been passed in several Republican-led states since the reversal of Roe. The politicians creating these laws “don’t even understand how a woman’s body actually works," Harris said, as she vowed that the Biden administration will continue to fight for a woman's right...

Recently I wrote an article which I gave the title” Are you hungry yet?” It was about the many evils we are witnessing as stage-setting for fulfillment of prophecy – the signals of the coming Apocalypse –the Tribulation, etc. All of that examination I hoped elicited stimulation of the believer’s Spiritual appetite for the moment we all sit down together at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. I.e., I hope it made you, the reader who is a believer, look forward with great anticipation to that magnificent Banquet – as do I. Our Appearance before our Lord and Savior in...

The rebellious Russian mercenary commander who ordered his troops to march on Moscow before abruptly reversing course will move to neighboring Belarus and not face prosecution, the Kremlin said Saturday, as part of a deal to defuse a crisis that represented the most significant challenge to President Vladimir Putin in his more than two decades in power. The charges against Yevgeny Prigozhin for mounting an armed rebellion will be dropped and the troops who joined him also will not be prosecuted, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced, and fighters from his Wagner Group who did not take part in the uprising...

Ellison told the Minneapolis-based retail titan to “stand firm in the face” of violence, intimidation and discrimination against its LGBTQAI+ customers, despite not citing any examples. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has co-authored a letter to the CEO of Target that suggests he would use the powers of his office to ensure that Target is not intimidated into “pulling some Pride merchandise from stores.” In a June 20 letter Ellison and Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell wrote to Brian Cornell, chairman and CEO the Minneapolis-based retail titan, they expressed concern over Target’s “choice to pull Pride merchandise,” which Ellison...

Looks like a pride parade … chanting, “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children”

As Marisol Perez fought for her life in a Texas hospital in autumn 2021, her mother, Alma Salas, sat with her every day praying. Perez, then 42, had such a virulent case of Covid and pneumonia that doctors at St. David’s North Austin Medical Center, an HCA Healthcare facility, had put her on a ventilator and into a coma to try to save her. Salas said she believed her daughter would pull through, but doctors and nurses at the hospital kept telling her otherwise. Over 10 days in October, less than a month after Perez entered St. David’s, Salas received...

The American Medical Association (AMA) is now discouraging the use of body mass index (BMI), calling it an "imperfect" and "problematic" means of assessing body fat and claiming it has been used for "racist exclusion."

The Kremlin has forged a deal with Wagner Group boss Yevgeny Prigozhin to defuse the mercenary group's uprising on Saturday. In exchange for Prigozhin's exile to Belarus, the mercenary leader won't be prosecuted, the Associated Press reported, citing a Kremlin spokesperson. The reported agreement comes after a paramilitary rebellion on Saturday in which the Wagner Group marched across Russia before suddenly turning around just 120 miles from Moscow. Prigozhin said he didn't want to shed Russian blood. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced Saturday that Prigozhin — and the troops who follow him — will not face criminal prosecution as part...

"Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? "And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." "But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city." Matthew, Chapter 17 1 And after six days...

Immunotherapy is among the newest and most potent weapons against cancer. It prompts the immune system to recognize tumors as intruders in the body and attack. But not all patients respond well to immunotherapy. Why? Scientists aren't always sure. Sometimes, immunotherapy patients experience side effects that steroids called glucocorticoids (GCs) can treat. GCs are often used to regulate the immune response in conditions such as asthma, Crohn's disease, and even COVID-19. Now, researchers indicate GCs may indirectly lead to some immunotherapy treatment failures by driving the production of a protein called Cystatin C (CyC). Higher levels of CyC are linked...

A new non-surgical bracing treatment may help to facilitate healing after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture, a study has found. The study looked at 80 people treated with the cross bracing protocol, and found 90% had evidence of ACL healing on MRI three months after ACL rupture. People with more ACL healing on three month MRI reported better 12-month outcomes including very high return to sport rates, better knee function and quality of life. Dr. Stephanie Filbay said it builds upon research showing that 30% of ACL's can heal with exercise-based rehabilitation, and people with ACL healing reported better...

Twitter Two kayakers were nearly swallowed by a humpback whale while trying to go whale watching off the coast of Avila Beach, California. The whale's attack on Julie McSorley and Liz Cottriel's kayak, who miraculously escaped unharmed from the animal's blow, was recorded from the kayak itself by the two friends and other witnesses to the event.

I do not for a moment downplay the danger of the radical, rightwing ideologies of White supremacists in America. Nor do I deny the existence of a dominionist, takeover mentality in some Christian circles, the most extreme of which were put on display in the days leading up to January 6, 2021. But the real danger, the ever-present danger, the more pressing danger, is that of a radical dominionist takeover from the left. The evidence is all around us. Consider for a moment what is currently happening in America today (as opposed to predicting what is to come). Which group...
