The unhoused 40-year-old was spotted digging through dumpsters on June 14 in new photos obtained by The Post.

Google has developed a quantum computer that instantly makes calculations that would take the best existing supercomputers 47 years, in a breakthrough meant to establish beyond doubt that the experimental machines can outperform conventional rivals. A paper from researchers at Google published online claims that the company’s latest technology is “beyond the capabilities of existing classical supercomputers”. Proponents of quantum computers say the technology, which relies on the peculiar states of quantum physics, can create hugely powerful machines able to battle climate change and create breakthrough drugs.

The bullet, a powerful synthetic opioid called fentanyl, is loaded into much of the illicit drug supply across South Carolina and the nation.

Signs include: unresponsiveness or unconsciousness; pinpoint pupils; snoring or gurgling; blue lips or fingernails; shallow, slowed or stopped breathing; and cold or clammy skin. 2. Dial...

The author of The Passion Translation version of the Bible is up and arms after Bible Gateway removed it from their list of available resources, claiming that the snub is a result of “cancel culture” in the church. While Bible Gateway has yet to publicly comment on their motivation for doing so, we can’t say that we’re surprised. This bible “translation” might as well have been called “The New Apostolic Reformation Translation” given that it’s pretty much exclusively endorsed by NAR folk, from Bethel to Bobbie Houston, James Goll, John and Lisa Bevere, Patricia King, Chuck Pierce, and is infused...

Simmons, who has previously claimed that he once went shopping for milk and anyone within a 12-foot radius of him fell to the ground...

NAR ‘Apostle’ and heretic extraordinaire Brian Simmons continues saying weird and wonky things, claiming that the Holy Spirit is feminine in a newly unearthed video and lamenting, ‘I don’t know why we don’t talk to Her.’ It’s a strange claim, given that The Passion Translation of the bible refers to the Holy Spirit as a ‘he,’ countering his own claims. (Simmons is the author and creator of TPT. He claims that during a trip to heaven, Jesus appeared to him and gave him “secrets” of the Hebrew language, which is the basis of the book_ In a message preached at...
