The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, the self-styled antichrist, predicted that the death of Jesus Christ (Gen. 1-11; John 1) would unleash madness and evil that over time would eventually infiltrate every area of Western and American life.

My latest song. Hope it's not too randy.

President Joe Biden has his zingers (“This is not your father’s Republican Party”). He’s got patriotism (“This is the United States of America, dammit”). He’s got a geometry-based explanation on how grow to the economy (“from the middle out and the bottom up”). […] If you’ve heard one of the president’s recent speeches, you’ve basically heard them all — and you’re sure to keep hearing the same refrains in the year-plus leading up to Election Day 2024. People in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah will get to sample the playlist starting Tuesday, when Biden makes a three-day swing through the...

"There is an effort... to employ security details composed of both Marines and Navy sailors on commercial tankers transiting in and near the Strait of Hormuz as an added layer of defense for these vulnerable ships," the official told AFP on condition of anonymity. An invitation is needed to do so because the ships are private vessels, but "we are undergoing preparations to execute should final agreements be in place to do that," the official said. The United States is boosting its forces operating in the region, announcing last month that it would deploy a destroyer, F-35 and F-16 warplanes,...

The majority of the defending champions' line-up has refused to sing the anthem in their group stage matches against Vietnam, The Netherlands, and Portugal.

The government of Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni is driving through a drastic cut in unemployment benefits as it argues there are plenty of jobs available across the country. The unemployment rate in Italy has been declining for months and is now at its lowest - 7.4% - since 2009, according to ISTAT, the national statistics agency. Ms Meloni, the leader of the hard-Right Brothers of Italy party, is planning to phase out the so-called “citizens wage”, which amounts to 550 euros a month for some of the nation’s poorest citizens. The benefit, which was introduced by the previous populist...

The pill works by killing a mutated protein which helps cancers to repair Scientists hope it can be used as a standalone therapy or alongside treatments Scientists have developed a holy grail cancer drug that kills all solid cancer tumors while leaving other cells unharmed. The new molecule targets a protein present in most cancers that helps tumors grow and multiply in the body. It is significant because this protein - the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) - was previously thought to be 'undruggable'. The drug was tested on 70 different cancer cells in the lab - including those derived...

A former teacher at a K-12 school affiliated with Liberty University has been charged with sexual misconduct with a minor—which was finally disclosed to students’ families last week, three months after the fact. But multiple parents say the school is minimizing the potential harm, and some details from administrators are in conflict.

The charges stem from an alleged incident in 2019, case information shows. Records indicate Carter was jailed April 7 and bonded out the same...

I've thought about this a lot since they explained what theyre doing.

Mohamed Bazoum is the president of the Republic of Niger.I write this as a hostage. Niger is under attack from a military junta that is trying to overthrow our democracy, and I am just one of hundreds of citizens who have been arbitrarily and illegally imprisoned. This coup, launched against my government by a faction in the military on July 26, has no justification whatsoever. If it succeeds, it will have devastating consequences for our country, our region and the entire world. Our government came to power through a democratic election in 2021. Any attempt to overthrow a lawful government...

Levin’s public advice to President Trump’s legal team involved encouraging them “to seek an emergency hearing before the U.S. Supreme Court.” This SCOTUS hearing would not be called to decide the validity of any of the former president’s legal issues but “to at least temporarily halt the abomination of this legal warfare that is unfolding in front of us.” With this lawfare, Levin explained, “the Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans are unashamedly celebrating the use of the courts by the Biden administration and Democrat DA’s to further their political wishes, as the rest of the nation watches in shock.” “The Biden...

Barack Obama told Joe Biden he will do whatever it takes to help with his re-election bid. During a private lunch at the White House, the former president warned Biden that Trump will be a formidable candidate in the 2024 presidential race.The two were catching up over lunch and they cut a video together for fundraising purposes. The lunch took place in late June and some details are just now coming out. Those familiar with the lunch say, anonymously, that Biden was relieved to get reassurances from Obama that he will help.

The dueling governors, Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Gavin Newsom (D-CA) have agreed to debate. Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity will moderate a debate between the two potential presidential candidates. Newsom isn’t an officially declared candidate for president but he is definitely running a shadow campaign. DeSantis is currently a distant second in the Republican presidential primary race. The two men have been going back and forth in a war of words ever since Newsom started going after DeSantis and his successes in Florida. Hannity has interviewed Newsom and I give credit to Newsom for going into the lion’s den. He...
