"And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living." "And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength." "The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right...

As we all know, we live in a time of a 24 hour news cycle. If big news comes out, it will capture attention at best for 48 hours before it is replaced with the next big story. Many have pointed fingers at the timing of Trump being notified of him being the target of an investigation. Notibly, with the whistle blower testistomony Wednesday, the timing seems targeted to cause distraction. This is at least what we are being told. I find a few red flags with this narrative. 1. The testimony only became a big news headline Monday night....

I think I just blew a gasket...my apologies...I'm allowing my sanity to be compromised by the news that's coming out my "government of/for/by the people". I need a shower...

Michigan’s attorney general on Tuesday criminally charged 16 so-called “fake electors” for former President Donald Trump, accusing them of a fraudulent effort to reverse President Joe Biden’s victory in the state’s 2020 election. The 16 people each face eight charges, including conspiracy, election law forgery, and uttering and publishing, state Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a video announcement. Nessel called the alleged plan a “desperate effort” to “undermine democracy.” Several of the accused are active in Republican politics. Nessel has not ruled out potential criminal charges against additional defendants, her office said.

CNN marveled over Special Counsel Jack Smith’s lunch stop at Subway. “[Jack Smith] was spotted today by CNN going to Subway for lunch, picking up a sandwich, leaving and not saying a word,” CNN said. CNN’s John King said Jack Smith buying a $5 dollar sandwich from Subway is a message to Trump. “Jack Smith going to Subway today is a message to Donald Trump. … Jack Smith with no words and a simple $5 sub in his hand saying ‘I’m not going anywhere,'” John King said. CNN’s Dana Bash added, “The imagery was intentional and spoke volumes.” WATCH:

WASHINGTON — The FBI Warned a supervisory agent who investigated Hunter Biden that he was expected to “decline to respond” to House Oversight Committee questions about the “ongoing” case involving the first son, a bombshell letter obtained by The Post shows. FBI general counsel Jason Jones sent the letter Sunday afternoon, just hours before the agent was set to testify — even though a source tells The Post that the FBI knew of a scheduled Monday deposition for several days. “[T]he Department expects that you will decline to respond to questions seeking non-public information likely covered by one or more...

The EU’s chemical strategy, unveiled in 2020, included pledges to “ban [non-essential uses] of the most harmful chemicals in consumer products” such as toys, babies’ nappies, cosmetics, detergents, food packaging and textiles. “It is especially important to stop using the most harmful chemicals in consumer products, from toys and child care products to textiles and materials that come in contact with our food,” said EU Green Deal chief Frans Timmermans back in 2020. “Our health should always come first,” said EU health commissioner Stella Kyriakides also said — three years ago. But internal documents have shown these commitments are unlikely...

PADUCAH, Ky. (KFVS) - A woman from Florida was arrested twice on Sunday, July 16, after she attempted to steal a vehicle in Paducah, Kentucky, then after getting out of jail, stole a separate vehicle from outside the public library downtown. According to a release from the Paducah Police Department, 59-year-old Yamila Laborde was first arrested at 12:47 p.m. near Walmart on Hinkleville Road.

Malik Obama, the well-known half-brother of Barack Obama, caught eyeballs Monday on social media with a reaction he gave to a posted letter in which the former president praised librarians and complained of the ‘banning’ of certain types of books, including ones that push LGBTQ+ propaganda. One infamous piece of LGBTQ+ work that has raised concerns for many school parents is “Gender Queer: A Memoir,” a book that features numerous graphic images and descriptions of homosexual conduct; this despite it being written for and distributed to children. Seemingly lamenting the treatment the story has consequently received, mainstream news outlets such...

Radical far-left Senators are threatening to leave the GOP if the party continues on its path of representing the people. The Democrats no longer represent America. They push the war in Ukraine against nuclear power Russia, the invasion across the Southern border (which supports drug cartels, Chinese manufactured fentanyl and US-backed child trafficking), massive spending (causing massive inflation), the destruction of the human body, mind and soul (through trans-rights and perverted child pornography), and the ultimate destruction of this great Christian country. Now four GOP US Senators are threatening to join them. According to Conservative Treehouse: According to interviews conducted...

On Monday, House Oversight Democrats hosted a discussion on the impact of restricting access to abortion pills. The event was led by Rep. Cori Bush and featured Reps. Jasmine Crockett and Jamie Raskin, as well as Pro-Choice Missouri community engagement director Rev. Love Holt. During the discussion, Bush downplayed the seriousness of the life-ending drugs, suggesting that restricting access to them was equivalent to "placing a ban on Tylenol." "These five pills are effective," Bush said, holding up a packet of Mifepristone, a drug involved in 50 percent of abortions in the United States. "Medication abortion pills ... [are] safe...

The FBI offered a new $25,000 reward this month for information about the abortion activists who set fire to a pro-life pregnancy center in 2022 in Longmont, Colorado. According to 11 News KKTV, the FBI Denver office announced the increased reward on July 12, more than a year after the June 25, 2022 arson attack caused major damage to the Life Choices pregnancy center. The pro-life Christian organization also was vandalized with graffiti, including pro-abortion phrases, anarchist symbols and the threat “If abortions aren’t safe neither are you” written in black paint across a wall. Life Choices offers free pregnancy...

So I have a standard Wix site for my business currently. I'm looking to revamp it to be more interactive with video, booking features etc. Our current site has 6 pages and would likely stay that way. I'm just curious as to what I can expect from a starting cost standpoint.

YouTubers Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams have announced that a woman they hired to be a surrogate is now pregnant with twins. There is concern over the well-being of the children due to Dawson’s past inappropriate behavior regarding children. In a video announcement, Dawson and Adams traveled to Seattle, Washington, to attend the six-week ultrasound the surrogate was undergoing, which was delayed a week so that the men could be present, according to People. In the newly released video which was filmed back in May, Adams states, “We’re pregnant, b***!” “Whatever God wants for us is what it’s gonna be,”...

One of the biggest attempts at disinformation ever perpetrated is the allegation that man-made global warming is our number one threat. The global warming hoax is the result of political chicanery backed up by faulty science and endorsed by the UN and the World Economic Forum. It cannot be claimed beyond a reasonable doubt that (a) global warming exists, or that (b) climate change is caused by human activities, or that (c) climate change is dangerous. Climate change is recognized by leading scientists as a natural phenomenon that has occurred throughout history. The so-called “climate crisis” is a massive hoax...

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) released a cryptic video Tuesday that will raise questions about whether the moderate Republican might decide to run for president in 2024. “I’ve always been an underdog, and people have always counted us out, but every single time we’ve beaten the odds. If we can accomplish all we did in Maryland, then there’s no place in America where these very same principles cannot succeed,” Hogan said in the post Tuesday.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., was roasted online after she tweeted Monday evening that the Earth broke a record for hottest day in 120,000 years. Omar, who used the tweet to call for a “climate emergency” declaration, added that the record for hottest day ever was broken on three separate days. However, Omar’s tweet was met with skepticism and was tagged with a Twitter community note casting doubt on the claim. “What was the temperature of the globe at 12pm GMT on July 1st, 116,539 BC?” former White House adviser Stephen Miller responded. “Is this satire?” added Republican Utah Senate candidate...

FLINT, Mich. (WJRT) - Investigators and a Flint couple are having a difficult time with their emotional reaction to a lifeless fetus found lying on the sidewalk late Tuesday. Daniel Foster and his wife were out for their nightly walk when they discovered the male fetus around 11 p.m. along the 1800 block if South Dort Highway. A medical examiner determined it was at about 20 to 23 weeks gestation. "Me and my wife were walking back from up here and she started freaking out," Foster said of his wife.
