Former Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff Marc Short said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Donald Trump’s mugshot was the “tragic” result of the former president violating his oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “This is first time I’ve talked to you since Trump turned himself in Fulton County Jail. You worked for Pence, but previously you were Trump’s director of legislative affairs. I want to get your response as a human being, when you look at the mug shot of Donald Trump, the former president, you’ve seen it now.” -snip And I...

Ukraine's main security agency accused tycoon Ihor Kolomoisky of fraud and money laundering on Saturday, naming one of the country's most prominent businessmen a suspect in a criminal investigation. The move against Kolomoisky, one of Ukraine's richest men and a one-time supporter of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy whose election he backed in 2019, comes as Kyiv is trying to signal progress during a wartime crackdown on corruption. "It was established that during 2013-2020, Ihor Kolomoisky legalized more than half a billion hryvnias ($14 million) by withdrawing them abroad and using the infrastructure of banks under (his) control," the Security Service of...

This is hilarious. One snarky commenter said "I bet he's 4'-10" tall." To him I say "Go ahead, FAFO."

In a survey of 600 Republican primary voters, 59% said Trump would be their first choice, followed by 13% for DeSantis. That’s down from the 24% the Florida governor previously logged, when he was seen as closing in on Trump. “DeSantis collapsed,” said Democratic pollster Mark Bocian, who conducted the survey with GOP pollster Tony Fabrizio. “The one candidate who back in April really seemed to be a potential contender, seemed to have a narrative to tell, has totally collapsed, and those votes went to Trump.” More than 60% of primary voters said each indictment faced by Trump was “politically...

"These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: "As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. " John, Chapter 17 1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy...

A school district in Oklahoma is standing by its decision to hire a drag queen as one of its elementary school principals. The story of Shane Brent Murnan is more shocking than that sentence indicates. In 2001, when Murnan was teaching fifth graders in Stillwater, Oklahoma, he was arrested and charged with having images of children under 18 on his computer. There was no doubt, as a state appellate court judge said, that the pictures “do represent child pornography.” However, Murnan offered in his defense the fact that the pictures, which he had deleted, came to him by accident. The...

Imagine this disturbing scenario for a moment. You live in Florida and received plenty of dire warnings about the approach of Hurricane Idalia. But your house is a little way uphill and the storm surge wasn’t quite as bad as some had predicted. You manage to get by with only some minor flooding at your place and once they get the power back on you should be able to start cleaning up. But two days after the storm, you walk outside only to find your car going up in a massive fireball. Just what you needed, right? But what went...

This is very interesting and the ballot auditor in the presentation is very effective. She held my attention throughout her entire time outlining all the details of the sketchy election that took place on August 8th. Essentially the local democrat party officials said they were going to steal the election. When a county wide audit was requested, the scale of how they conducted their stealing operation was revealed. This is interesting because seven “counties” essentially determined the previous 2020 election. MISSISSIPPI – Hinds County District 2 Supervisor David Archie claimed there was a “high-tech election heist with corruption as well...

"FDA can inform, but it has identified no authority allowing it to recommend consumers 'stop' taking medicine," the ruling reads. A federal court ruled on Friday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) likely abused its authority when it used anti-ivermectin messaging to get Americans to not use it to treat COVID-19. "FDA can inform, but it has identified no authority allowing it to recommend consumers 'stop' taking medicine," U.S. Circuit Judge Don Willett wrote in the ruling, according to The Epoch Times. The ruling was sent back to the lower court where it will be reconsidered. “FDA is...

After years living with a lingering sense of doom, residents have taken some pleasure in seeing Lake Mead fill up a little bit on the strength of a record snowpack for the Colorado River. In fact, the lake is 23 feet higher today than its low point in July of 2022.

In 2015, Bethel Church pastor Seth Dahl preached a sermon called ‘An Unexpected Route To Joy.’ In an epic butchery of the gospel and a fundamental misunderstanding of the forgiveness of Christ, Dahl claimed he encountered Jesus in a vision, who then asked him to forgive HIM. At the time of the sermon, Dahl was Bethel Chuch’s children’s pastor whose merchandise was (and is still) carried in their store. He has since left and founded his own group of companies geared around teaching and coaching families and children, including Seth Dahl Ministries, where he offers churches personalized children’s ministry coaching...

Uebert Angel, whose full name is Uebert Angel Mudzanire, is a Zimbabwean-born preacher, ‘prophet’ entrepreneur, televangelist, author, founder and leader of the Spirit Embassy: Good News Church, which has 75 locations globally and reaches millions of people weekly, and perhaps one of the purest examples of a prosperity heretic the world has ever seen. Angel, considered a prominent figure in the Pentecostal and Charismatic movement, shamelessly flaunts his private jet, mansion, and luxury goods while promising health, wealth, and miracles to anyone who donates to his ministry. Unsurprisingly, he is endorsed by wolves like Benny Hinn and impastor Jamal Bryant,...

Mislav Kolakusic: “The World Health Organization should be declared a terrorist organization because of the damage it has caused and the lies it has spread. Today, it would be safer to sign contracts with the Colombian drug cartels than with the WHO."

The trendy dating platform will now allow its millions of users to report each other for ghosting on an in-person date. The app claims to be the first to take a clear stance on the matter. According to Engadget, the app’s updated guidelines are intended to “discourage no-show behavior through disallowing the act of not turning up to an in-person meet up despite clear plans agreed by both parties.” Stood-up singletons will now be able to use the in-app report feature to rat out offenders. A moderator will then fact-check the claim before taking action. The behavior will also now...

Unhinged liberal actor suggests more authoritarian measures are on the way after COVID tyranny beta test.Actor Sean Penn claimed that the era of COVID lockdowns and restrictions was a “mandatory rehearsal for things to come.” The Democrat actor suggested Friday on CNN that COVID restrictions imposed by governments were a “silver lining” because they prepared humanity for “things to come.” “We’re going to have to take the silver linings on this. This is a mandatory rehearsal for things to come that we’re going to have to deal with as a society,” Penn said.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has gone from criminalizing court filings to committing crimes with respect to her own court filings. Georgia law makes it unlawful to knowingly file a court document “knowing or having reason to know that such document is false or contains a materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation.” Ga. Code Ann. § 16-10-20.1(b)(1). DA Willis is well-aware of this law; she charged a number of Defendants – including Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and John Eastman – with a violation of that law for filing in a document that contained a “materially false statement...

VIDEOIt's absolutely AMAZING how lucky my wife is at the casino. Many of you have seen my previous videos of just how lucky my wife is. We came out of the Caesar's casino in Pompano Beach (where the old harness track was) as winners FIVE TIMES in a row. However, a month ago on the sixth try there we LOST. That's the bad news. However the GOOD NEWS is that due to our money management we only lost $20. We took that as a sign that Lady Luck didn't want us to take too much of an advantage with my...

India has launched its first space mission to study the sun, less than two weeks after a successful uncrewed landing near the south pole region of the moonIndia launched its first space mission to study the sun on Saturday, less than two weeks after a successful uncrewed landing near the south polar region of the moon. The Aditya-L1 spacecraft took off on board a satellite launch vehicle from the Sriharikota space center in southern India on a quest to study the sun from a point about 1.5 million kilometers (930,000 miles) from Earth. The point, known as L1, affords an...
