Over 600 fires have swept across Greece scorching hundreds of square miles of land and leaving thousands holidaymakers stranded. Recent extreme heat in the Mediterranean has seen temperatures top 40C, as experts blame climate change for the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires. The majority of the fires which have ravaged Greece in recent weeks were started by "human hand", one of the country's top climate officials has said. Vassilis Kikilias told a news conference the vast majority of fires "were caused by human hands" and said they were "arsons either by criminal negligence or by intention". However, officials have...

The Russian Defense Ministry has reported that on the evening of July 28, Russia attacked a Ukrainian command post in Dnipro (Dnepropetrovsk) with “precision weapons” after Ukraine launched an attack on a Russian command post in Taganrog in Russia’s Rostov oblast (province). According to the Russians, the incoming missile was shot down but it crashed into buildings in the town, including an art museum. The weapon used by Ukraine was a converted S-200 air defense missile reconfigured against ground targets. A day earlier, on the 28th, Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelensky visited Dnipro where he presented an award to Ukrainian Commander...

It sounds like bad science fiction, but it is rapidly becoming reality. Some of the most powerful people on the planet think they are going to “upgrade” human beings — or at least some human beings — through genetic engineering and technological schemes such as “brain implants.” Yes, really. In fact, they are publicly touting alleged benefits, supposedly including eternal life, and even evolving into “gods.”If that all sounds crazy or even diabolical — good, it should, because it is. And yet, the technologies to make some of these nightmarish visions possible are progressing so fast it would make your...

Now lets talk about an historical figure who was a: Christian Democrat Populist William Jennings Bryan ran for President of the United States as the Democrat nominee in 1896, 1900 and 1908. He lost three times lacking the money and power of the business forces backing the Republicans. Bryan also know for defending Creationism at the Scopes Trial right before his death in 1925. Bryan also a pacifist who left his post as Secretary of State as events moved towards US involvement in World War I. Mr. Bryan actually called for the government to own the railroads.

OAKLAND, Calif. - Violence in Oakland has reached a boiling point, that NAACP's Oakland chapter asked that the city declare a state of emergency, and now, the regional branch is doubling down. Just days ago, the Oakland chapter of the organization wrote a letter to the city saying in part: "Failed leadership, including the movement to refund the police, our District Attorney’s unwillingness to charge and prosecute people who murder and commit life-threatening serious crimes, and the proliferation of anti-police rhetoric have created a heyday for Oakland criminals." On Saturday the chapter that oversees the entire state of California showed...

Minnesota Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar took to spewing lies and false hoods again this week when she claimed that Americans should live in abject fear of white men, alleging that white men commit the majority of violence in the United States. None of which is true — but of course, the truth has never stopped this squad banshee from pushing her narrative. In an interview with Al Jazeera, of all places, Omar claimed, “Our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country.” […] In 2018,...

@TexasLindsay_ GAME OVER. Fauci’s Former Boss: “We think vaccine research resulted in the pandemic – that vaccine ­research was the proximate cause” —Robert Kadlec, Former Asst. Sec. of HHS Covid cover-up: how the science was silenced Anthony Fauci delib­erately downplayed ­suspicions from scientists that Covid-19 came from a lab to protect his reputation and deflect from risky research his agency had funded, his boss says.

… The grimly named European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) is projected to cost 7 euros per application and take up to 14 days to render a decision. Before you start shaking your fist at freedom-hating Eurocrats, know that ETIAS is the belated continental answer to a system the U.S. has imposed on residents of friendly countries since 2009, called the Electronic System for Travel Authorization, or ESTA. Like ETIAS, ESTA is a response to 21st-century terrorist attacks and combines modest fees ($21) with less-than-instantaneous turnaround times (a promised 72 hours). Both either tweak or torpedo (depending on your...

The plant-based milk industry is booming, and new milks seem to be cropping up everywhere — from the old standbys of almond milk and oat milk, to newfangled pistachio milk and cashew milk. The options are endless. But few of these alternatives compare to cow's milk in terms of nutrition, according to data presented on July 24 at the American Society for Nutrition Conference in Boston. The data has not yet been published. "I thought going into this that the manufacturers would have been looking at cow's milk and trying to match it with these products," Dr. Abigail Johnson, who...

(RNS) — Arthur Gay, an evangelical leader who oversaw the National Association of Evangelicals when President Reagan gave his historic “evil empire” speech, has died at the age of 86. Gay was president of the association from 1982 to 1984 and held the same role at World Relief, its humanitarian arm, from 1991 to 1996. Though his leadership began decades ago, Gay’s influence endured through the present day, leaders of the organizations said in announcing his death. “Art Gay was one of the most gracious leaders I have ever known. He was a great encourager, always curious and wanting to...

Residents of a Chicago neighborhood angrily denounced their local officials over the crime overflowing from illegal aliens at a shelter, and some are threatening vigilante violence if nothing is done soon. More than 50 residents of the Woodlawn neighborhood attended the community meeting at Apostolic Church of God to express their outrage over prostitution, drug dealing, and violence from a migrant shelter set up at the former Wadsworth High School building. "I would ask you all to go out there — go out there at night, in the middle of the night — and see what goes on," said one...

The case of a Fort Worth patient’s quest to treat his COVID-19 with ivermectin, and a Houston doctor’s determination to prescribe him the drug, is headed to a rare hearing where a state agency will argue that the doctor broke the law. The Texas Medical Board filed a formal complaint against Dr. Mary Talley Bowden in April, accusing her of unprofessional conduct when she allegedly prescribed ivermectin to a man at Texas Health Huguley Hospital where she did not have privileges. She also did not properly review the patient’s medical history or the patient himself, according to the complaint. The...

This is one issue that I’ve been wrestling with here for several years now. For the longest time, Americans grew used to placing their trust in the medical profession. When you ran into a health problem, you went to see a doctor or perhaps get checked in at a hospital. While not all care is equal, actual doctors were assumed to know a lot more than the layman and were bound by a professional code of ethics to “do the right thing” and to “first do no harm.” They were far more trusted than politicians and for good reason. But...

Jenn Johnson, who, along with her husband, Brian, is one of the senior worship pastors at the infamously blasphemous charismatic Bethel Church in Redding, California. Bethel, which is known for its parlor tricks, false manifestations of the Holy Spirit, and cultish practice of raising the dead and “grave sucking,” is no stranger to controversy. This time, Jenn Johnson, a female “pastor” who is on stage mocking the throne of God, says that angels sit around the throne of God having “farting contests.” It really doesn’t get much more blasphemous than that. Jenn goes on to say that this is “who...
