Republican presidential candidate Sen. Tim Scot, R-S.C., said Friday that the United States needs "biblically sound leadership" as he tries to make his case to Christian conservatives in Iowa why they should back him for the GOP nomination. Scott joined former Fox News host Tucker Carlson for a discussion at the Family Leadership Summit, a gathering of grassroots Christian conservative activists in Des Moines. The prominent gathering organized by The Family Leader takes place six months before the Iowa caucuses, the first occasion where Republican voters can formally show support for their preferred presidential candidate. Carlson, an outspoken critic of...

Those who were Covid cowards need to stand up against tyranny in the future. It’s the least they can do. If you were one of those people who always diligently wore an ineffective mask, got the experimental vaccine and boosters, or performatively practiced social distancing, you really owe an apology to those who stood up for civil liberties during Covid and must commit to being smarter and braver in the future. The Covid years mark what was arguably the greatest encroachment on personal freedom and bodily autonomy in the history of our country. The government decimated the American economy by...

A Gift From the Freemasons of Georgia Georgia Masons provide the GACHIP program FREE of charge as a public service and as our gift to the citizens of our state. The Georgia Child Identification Program (GACHIP) is a comprehensive identification kit to be offered to parents in the state of Georgia. At a GACHIP event, Freemasons set up the equipment necessary to generate completed identification kits.

If you live in America, the chances are that not only is religion not the most important thing in your life—84% of you—but additionally, nearly 30% of you feel it’s not important at all, or up 10% from a decade ago. A new survey by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) contains both warning and comfort for the nation’s faithful. On the one hand, religion is plummeting fast on the priority lists of most Americans, but on the other, most of those remaining in the Christian church, 59%, have attended their houses of worship for more than 10 years. And...

Robert Kennedy Jr., the nephew of former US president John F. Kennedy and current candidate for the presidency of the United States, said that in his opinion, the Coronavirus was engineered so as not to harm Ashkenazi Jews. He also claimed that the virus was designed to avoid harming the Chinese. According to him, the proof is that most of the victims of the epidemic were African Americans and non-Jewish whites. Kennedy Jr. is the son of former Senator and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy who was assassinated while running for office. He is also the nephew of former President...

To the rear of the brutal fighting at the frontlines, Ukraine appears to be making the very best of counter-battery fire to suppress and destroy Russian artillery units. Though Ukrainian troops continue fighting for breakthroughs in Russian defensive lines, artillery gunners are playing the long game for future artillery supremacy. Counter-battery fire, and especially radars that facilitate it with high accuracy, are playing a big part in this. It has been reported that many Russian artillery units lack counter-battery radar systems to pinpoint incoming fire, with losses of these prized systems having taken their toll in nearly year and half...

...In 2012, O’Grady’s team found camel teeth fragments under a layer of volcanic ash from an eruption of Mount St. Helens that was dated over 15,000 years ago. The team also uncovered two finely crafted orange agate scrapers, one in 2012 with preserved bison blood residue and another in 2015, buried deeper in the ash. Natural layering of the rockshelter sediments suggests the scrapers are older than both the volcanic ash and camel teeth.Radiocarbon-dating analysis on the tooth enamel... yielded exciting results: a date of 18,250 years before present (14,900 radiocarbon years).That date, in association with stone tools, suggests that...

On July 4, 2023, Jean Worland (jean.worland@roadrunner.com) posted these words from Hal Lindsey: In Matthew 16:2-3, Jesus admonished us to discern the times. That means pay attention to what’s going on. Study and apply God’s word. And pray about everything. Today, we see signs of distress all over the world. We can see in real-time things the Bible long ago told us about. And it’s not pretty. Lawlessness, moral confusion, slander, deception, hedonism, uncontrolled rage, and cruelty fill our sightlines. These things are no longer theoretical events to be analyzed from a distance. They’re happening all around us, and it...

Anew report found that the $5 trillion Congress spent on pandemic relief efforts has been so difficult to track that it has even stumped some government investigators. A new report from the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee tracked $2.65 billion of pandemic relief funding to six communities. The report found that "data gaps make it difficult for taxpayers to know how much money their community received and for what purposes." The $2.65 billion is part of $5 trillion in federal relief given out during the pandemic. "Existing gaps in federal spending data make it difficult for the oversight community, decision-makers, and...

On this week’s episodes of Wallace’s Max/CNN series Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace, Wallace interviewed McDaniel, as well as Hollywood superstar Goldie Hawn. In one of many memorable exchanges, Wallace asked McDaniel if she has a problem with the GOP “nominating somebody who’s under federal indictment” (she expressed openness to that) and then asked the natural follow-up for a race in which ex-President Donald Trump is the frontrunner — “Do you have any problem with the Republican Party nominating a convicted felon?”:

VIDEOHere we see two sharply contrasting versions of White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. First we see the normal evasive version of KJP. In the second version it is as if African journalist Simon Ateba had fired a Truth Ray at her and we see a completely honest version of KJP.

The ravages of the mob which commenced its diabolical career on Monday are not yet ended, and it is impossible to say at the hour of going to press this morning whether the worst has yet been seen. All through Tuesday night marauding bands of plunderers in greater or less numbers, continued to commit their depredations in various parts of the City, but at daylight yesterday morning they had generally dispersed and there was a fair prospect of a speedy restoration of quiet and order. The authorities, both State and military, appeared to consider the riot as substantially subdued, and...

WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court in Virginia this week delivered a message to Congress, the White House and developers of the Mountain Valley Pipeline: not so fast. Pennsylvania-based Equitrans Midstream’s roughly 300-mile pipeline, envisioned to bring shale gas from the Marcellus and Utica in Appalachia to markets in the Southeast, was fast-tracked as part of the Biden administration’s deal with Congress to suspend the debt limit in June. It’s also supported by Pennsylvania congressmen, including U.S. Reps. John Joyce, R-Blair, and Guy Reschenthaler, R-Peters, who joined U.S. Rep. Carol Miller, R-W.Va., to introduce the legislation in May that helped...

Fulton County, Georgia, is the latest to move forward with a $210,000 taxpayer-funded study to evaluate if reparations for residents who are descendants of slaves are practical. The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted four to two in favor of the measure to fund the study led by the Atlanta University Center and county leadership, Fox 5 Atlanta reported. Commissioner Khadijah Abdur-Rahman, who voted in favor of the measure, said this study will bring on five researchers who will explore if reparations are warranted. [snip] “The study specifically excludes initiatives after 1980 because that data would reveal that the taxpayers...

(Daily readings from the USCCB)“To anyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; from anyone who has not, even what he has will be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because they look but do not see and hear but do not listen or understand.” Matthew 13:12–13How is it that someone can look without seeing or hear without listening or understanding? This is only possible when one's eyes and ears are working properly, but the mind is distracted, not attentive to what is seen or heard. For example, say you were...

I recently went to see the movie Sound of Freedom. It was the first time I had gone to a movie theater since before Covid and it was well worth the wait for such a superb and important film. I was curious about a number of things including whether, in the midst of a heatwave (and rumors that AMC Theaters were sabotaging the air-conditioning in theaters showing the film), the theater would be air-conditioned and why the left has been so distraught over a movie about child sex trafficking – a seemingly nonpartisan issue about which all people of good...

REPLAY: Glenn TV - One-on-One with Tucker Carlson | The Blaze | The Summit | 07-14-2023

Going into the Family Leadership Summit in Des Moines on Friday, the big story was whether Donald Trump’s contemptuous decision to skip the presumably obligatory cattle call for Republican presidential candidates before a large and influential crowd of conservative evangelicals would damage his candidacy. Trump aside, however, the big question was whether one of the dark horse candidates stalking the former president and Florida governor Ron DeSantis would have a breakout moment at the day-long event. Former vice president Mike Pence, whose intimate ties with the Christian Right go back decades, and Senator Tim Scott, who has been delivering a...

The man who allegedly shot and killed a Fargo, North Dakota, police officer and wounded two others has been identified as 37-year-old Mohamad Barakat. NBC News reported that the shooting occurred Friday just before 3:00 p.m. A witness said the shots were fired during a “traffic stop.” ABC News reported that 23-year-old Jake Wallin was the officer killed in the shooting. Wallin joined the Fargo Police Department in April of this year. Officers Andrew Dotas and Tyler Hawes were shot and wounded in the incident and are both in “critical stable condition.” [snip] Barakat, the alleged shooter, was killed by...

Anyone who downloaded File Recovery & Data Recovery or File Manager are urged to wipe the allegedly compromised apps from their devices. According to cybersecurity firm Pradeo, the supposed file management applications are actually “programmed to launch without users’ interaction, and to silently exfiltrate sensitive users’ data towards various malicious servers based in China.”
