Chicago police arrested two men and recovered over 200 catalytic converters from a building on the city’s West Side on Friday. More details about the allegations against the men will be released when they appear in bond court on Saturday afternoon. Marzel Woodard and Vincent Parks, both 36, are charged with aggravated possession of a stolen motor vehicle. Woodard is also charged with organized aggravated vehicle theft conspiracy, police said. Possessing a stolen critical piece of an automobile, such as a catalytic converter, is equivalent to having the entire vehicle under Illinois law. The arrests and recovery, made in the...

A Wisconsin Democrat sparked fierce backlash after boldly voicing her opinion on the spread of crime out of big cities. "Outnumbered" panelists pulled no punches when discussing State Sen. LaTonya Johnson’s suggestion to "f--- the suburbs." Johnson made the statement on the state’s Senate floor during a debate over increased funding for police as city crime makes its way to quiet suburbs. "To say that these additional police are needed because crime is spilling out into the suburbs. What about these babies who are being lost right in their own cities?" she began Wednesday. "F--- the suburbs, because they don't...

The federal prosecutor overseeing the Hunter Biden probe on Friday doubled down on his insistence that he had ‘ultimate authority’ over the Justice Department’s Hunter Biden investigation. In a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, obtained by The Post, US Attorney for the District of Delaware David Weiss maintained that he was being truthful in a June 7 missive to the Ohio Republican when he wrote that he was in charge of “deciding where, when, and whether to file charges” against President Biden’s son. “I stand by what I wrote,” Weiss told Jordan in Friday’s letter. “At the...

The record of the 2020 elections should be instructive to readers as to what extent the progressive Left will go, and making law professors into something other than trusted sources of knowledge and judgement. New York University (NYU) Law professor Rick Pildes, among a partisan academic group including NYU Law’s Bob Bauer, who worked for the Obama administration, wrote a guest essay in the New York Times recently where he opines on the SCOTUS decision over state voting procedures. In doing so, he adds to the long list of law school professors who are deliberately misleading the public. There are...

"Coming to Him as to a living stone . . . you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood. . . . You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession. . . . You are the people of God. . . . You have received mercy" (1 Pet. 2:4-10). You have enormous privileges in Christ. A university student once confessed to a pastor, "I've come to the conclusion that I don't believe in God." "I see," the pastor replied. "Please tell me...

In a piece responding to the U.S. Supreme Court killing President Joe Biden’s student loan handout, the New York Times reminded readers there were other ways they could still cancel their debt, one of them involving death. Among six methods the outlet included to get rid of student loan debt, such as signing up for student loan forgiveness and filing for bankruptcy, the outlet noted that debt "dies with the person or people who take it on." This option was given for students worried that the debt their loved ones took out for their schooling would pass on to them...

For the second time, the U.S. Supreme Court has vacated a lower court decision against a Christian couple in Oregon who were punished for not making a cake for a same-sex wedding. In an orders list release Friday, the nation's highest court vacated the decision against Aaron and Melissa Klein in their ongoing litigation with the Oregon Bureau of Labor & Industries. The court sent the case back to the Court of Appeals of Oregon for reconsideration in light of its same-day ruling in 303 Createive LLC v. Elenis. In that case, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Colorado cannot...

An Anglican vicar has slammed Yorkshire Building Society for closing his account after he accused them of promoting gender ideology. Rev Richard Fothergill, a longstanding customer with the building society, wrote to them in June to complain about their public messaging during Pride month. The 62-year-old says within four days, he received a reply telling him his internet savings account would be closed, The Times reports. Rev Fothergill, of Windermere, Cumbria, has since accused the banking giant of 'bullying' and said: 'I wasn't even aware that our relationship had a problem. They are a financial house – they are not...

It is essential to understand the nature of those actively dismantling our nation the next time they emerge. A coda to Kyle Rittenhouse’s ordeal recently occurred: conviction of one of his aggressors, armed rioter (now armed robber/kidnapper) Joshua Ziminski, on unrelated felony charges. Rittenhouse, George Zimmerman, and NYC subway Samaritans Daniel Penny and Jordan Williams are frontline warriors battling to preserve civilization. Rittenhouse's legal ordeal continues. He faces litigation from Gaige Grosskreutz (wounded after pointing a gun at Rittenhouse) and a wrongful death action from Anthony Huber’s estate, shot by Rittenhouse after Huber bashed him with a skateboard. Grosskreutz's complaint,...

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts cited former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in his majority opinion to help explain why President Biden’s student loan handout was unconstitutional. On Friday, Roberts released the Supreme Court’s opinion blocking Biden's student loan forgiveness plan, one of the president's major campaign promises. In the opinion, Roberts cited then-Speaker Pelosi’s words saying the president did not have the power to cancel federal student loan debt. "As then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi explained: ‘People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not,’" Roberts quoted Pelosi’s...

Boston University School of Law students were offered therapy after three controversial Supreme Court decisions this week about affirmative action, religious freedom and student debt forgiveness. The BU Law Student Government Association's (SGA) statement, sent out to law students Friday afternoon, denounced the three Supreme Court decisions of the week: Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, 303 Creative LLC. v. Elenis and Biden v. Nebraska. In an email obtained by Fox News Digital, the student board began by lambasting the Supreme Court's decision in the Students for Fair Admissions case, which declared race-based affirmative action in college admissions is unconstitutional....

The University of Cincinnati has formally rebuked a gender studies professor who complained about a student using the term 'biological woman', and ordered the professor take a course on free speech. Melanie Nipper, a 28 year-old adjunct professor of sexuality studies at the University of Cincinnati, took issue with student Olivia Krolczyk's use of the term in an essay about trans women in sport. Nipper told her 'the terms 'biological women' are exclusionary and are not allowed in this course as they further reinforce heteronormativity.

As warmer weather has come to Chicago, groups of hundreds of teens have been rampaging through various neighborhoods vandalizing property, stealing from businesses, and assaulting people on the streets. This week it was Lakeview's turn. One woman who called police was told the police couldn't help. Video from a local TV station showed teens jumping on cars and raiding businesses while Chicago Police officers stood by watching. While hundreds of crimes were committed, the police made only two arrests. 44th Ward Alderman Bennett Lawson blamed the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) for "not doing enough to keep the teens from using...

Some of the Seventh-day Adventist founding fathers were Arians. Arians deny that Jesus Christ is God the Son, one being with the Father (consubstantial), equal to the Father (co-equal), and as eternal as the Father (co-eternal). The founding mother of Adventism wrote many Arian-like statements, such as “The man Christ Jesus was not the Lord God Almighty, yet Christ and the Father are one” Modern day Arians include the Jehovah’s Witnesses, who published their version of the Bible called the New World Translation. In it they changed “and the Word was God” to “and the Word was a god”. The...

Does the Bible claim to be inerrant? —that is, without error of any kind. But the Bible itself does not make such a claim. The Bible does not claim to be inerrant, however it does claim to be true. “The entirety of Your word is truth, and every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever” (Psalm 119:160, NKJV). It is important to note that “true” does not mean “inerrant.” (For more information see the “Does the Bible contradict itself?” and “Is the Bible inspired by God?”) All correct or else not correct? Some have felt that if the Bible is...

In this teaching Pastor Gary gives a Biblical response to the cultural chaos and the corporate controversy that has overtaken our country with gender confusion, sexual perversion, and a “woke” agenda. How can we navigate all the madness without losing our hearts for those who are caught up in the madness? We should be outraged by all the cultural evil, but we should never lose the mission of the church because of our outrage over the madness of the world. At the same time, we must never condone the evil or affirm the delusion. Pastor Gary explains the “WHY” behind...
