US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen committed a string of diplomatic faux pas during her visit to Beijing Saturday, bowing to her Chinese counterpart multiple times without reciprocation — a protocol error that critics flagged as a sign of American weakness. The Biden administration’s top economic official, on the second day of her four-day effort to mend fences with a major rival, bowed at least three times as she shook hands with Vice Premier He Lifeng, video shows — while He, Xi Jinping’s new economy czar, stood erect, backing away slightly to give the beaming Yellen more room to kowtow. “Never,...

On Saturday, Chief Judge Jeffrey Sutton of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued a preliminary injunction that allows Tennessee’s law to prohibit health care providers from performing or administering cross-sex procedures on minors to take place, a week after a federal judge blocked it. “Because Tennessee is likely to succeed on its appeal of the preliminary injunction, we grant the stay,” Mr. Sutton wrote. Tennessee was one of several states this year to pass legislation to shield minors from cross-sex surgery, procedures, and hormones, which fall under the umbrella of “gender-affirming care,” and many of these...

Matthew 9:14-17 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus gives us the parable of new wine and old and new wineskins.The new wine is the Good News, the Incarnation, the reconciliation of the divine and the human.But this powerful elixir cannot be contained in the receptacles of the old consciousness. As long as the ego reigns in the soul, the new wine will prove too strange, too foreign, too threatening—and it will be accordingly rejected. Before the heady wine of the Gospel can be assimilated, there must be a scouring out of the spirit, a transformation of awareness and attitude, a metanoia....

The new crowdfunded hit movie that goes where Hollywood won’t by shedding light on the dark underworld of human trafficking isn’t sitting well with left-wing media critics who seem to have a problem with raising awareness about the abduction of children who are forced into the global sex slave trade. ... Critics for both the UK-based outlet The Guardian and website Jezebel which bills itself as featuring “Sex. Celebrity. Politics. With Teeth” published reviews trashing the film and smearing it as being “QAnon-adjacent” and “fit for QAnon” in shameful efforts to associate it with the batty conspiracy theory that has...

"When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

"For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we...

Democratic strategist David Axelrod said the Green Party bid by academic Cornel West could draw votes away from President Biden, leading to a victory for former President Trump. “In 2016, the Green Party played an outsized role in tipping the election to Donald Trump. Now, with Cornel West as their likely nominee, they could easily do it again. Risky business,” he tweeted.

Vivek Ramaswamy said this week that he supports ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants. "I think for a period of time it’s going to be necessary in this country, because you have an influx of migrants across that southern border, fourteen thousand-plus a day by some estimates crossing that southern border. That is not a rule of law, that is the abandonment of the rule of law," he said on CNN.

Liberal New York Times opinion columnist Maureen Dowd shamed President Joe Biden in a piece, Saturday, for refusing to acknowledge his seventh grandchild, Hunter Biden’s daughter he had out of wedlock. The piece, headlined "It’s Seven Grandkids, Mr. President," berated Biden for his continual omission of the existence of this seventh grandchild named Navy Joan Roberts, a child the younger Biden had with an ex-stripper named Lunden Roberts. Dowd’s scathing column claimed that Biden’s callous treatment of this grandchild "undercuts" the "empathy" that "has been his stock in trade" while in political office.

Question: How is God good or just to abandon to Hell those who have never even heard the gospel? JAG Writes: Consider the following: First, we Bible believing Christians start with the true proclamation that God always does that which is right. This means that the God who always does what is right, world-wide and history-wide, is never going to abandon one of His elect to Gehenna, but will find a way to save them and give them the gift of eternal life as per John 3:16's "shall not perish but have eternal life." Second, we Bible believing Christians MUST...

The thing about superyachts is that once you get on them, you never get off. Not literally but metaphorically. It stays in your spirit, features in your holiday plans, and there will never be a better way to unwind. This could be why despite selling the 282-foot-long superyacht Seven Seas for $150 million, Spielberg commissioned another Oceanco yacht, also called Seven Seas (named after his seven children). The original Seven Seas is now called Man Of Steel and is owned by Canadian steel billionaire Barry Zekelman. This month, the 358 feet ship worth $250 million was delivered to the legendary...

Cocaine found in the White House probably does not belong to Hunter Biden, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) surmised recently. “What is bizarre is they say we can’t figure out who it is. Now I will say something odd, which is there’s lots of speculation on Twitter: ‘Oh, a bag of cocaine in the White House it’s gotta be Hunter’s.’ You know my guess is it probably isn’t Hunter’s,” he said during an episode of his podcast Verdict with Ted Cruz.

In a thrilling viral television moment, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow snorted a line of cocaine on air to prove to the world that it's a completely natural substance and no big deal at all. "MAGA Republicans are losing their minds over coke being found in the White House, and they really need to calm down," said Maddow as she sectioned out a line of powder on her news desk. "This is a completely common and harmless substance that lots of Presidential administrations have taken to increase their performance. YOLO, folks!" She then pulled out a straw and snorted loudly in...

Facebook founder and deranged liar Mark Zuckerberg loves to lecture ‘the little people’ about what is good for them.But that doesn’t get in the way of him living his best life.Zuckerberg has donated millions to anti-police organizations, including PolicyLink, the group behind DefundPolice.org, according to investigative reporter Lee Fang shared on his substack.While he may support defunding the police for the rest of us, that doesn’t stop him from lavish spending on his own private security, a cost in excess of $43.4 million over the last three years.
