Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley addressed President Biden's age in a recent 60 Minutes interview. The president's age, along with that of former President Donald Trump, have become points of concern for many ahead of the 2024 election. Mr. Biden is now 80 and Trump, the current frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, is 77. Political opponents and even some allies have portrayed them as too old to be president. "I didn't comment on the former president's mental health, physical health and I'm not going to comment on the current president's mental health or...

In light of the attack on Israel where are we in the Bible? Israel is going to obviously retaliate and take a lot of land in the process. We are very close to an Antichrist coming onto the scene..

Joe Biden's policies have led to Israel's 9-11. This morning, from out of the Gaza Strip, Hamas launched an attack on Israel. As of this writing at least 100 Israelis are dead and 700 have been wounded. Make no mistake- this is all on Biden. Biden, following Obama's lead, has bent over for Iran. Obama was willing to allow Iran to do anything in order to get Iran to join the JCPOA, which Iran violated from day one. Iran even used the Accord to boost funding for Hamas and Hezbollah Since the deal was signed, Iran has significantly increased its...

Several GOP presidential candidates declared their support for Israel on Saturday after Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists invaded southern portions of the country and killed at least 100 people. Local Israeli media reported that at least 100 people have been killed in the wide-ranging assault, while Gaza health officials say that 198 Palestinians have died in Israeli air strikes made in response to the Hamas attack. Hospitals are treating at least 561 wounded people, including 77 who were in critical condition, the Associated Press reported based on public statements and calls to hospitals. Former President Donald Trump, who maintained a good relationship...

US President Joe Biden's administration plans to provide $235m (£171m) of aid to Palestinians, restoring part of the assistance cut by Donald Trump. Two-thirds will go to the UN's agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, which has suffered a financial crisis since it lost $360m of US funding in 2018. Mr Biden wants to "restore credible engagement" by the Palestinians in long-stalled peace talks with Israel. Palestinian leaders accused Mr Trump of being heavily biased towards Israel. They rejected a peace plan he unveiled last year that envisaged recognising Israeli sovereignty over Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank and the...

Tony Pritzker, heir to the Hyatt hotel chain, is divorcing his wife of 33 years and asking a judge to enforce the prenup to protect his $3.7billion fortune. Documents obtained by DailyMail.com show Pritzker, 62, and his wife Jeanne Pritzker have split citing 'irreconcilable differences' and he claims she refuses to sign a document acknowledging that their prenup is valid and enforceable. There is much at stake, including the couple's behemoth known as 'the Pritzker Estate', which was the second largest residential property in Los Angeles when construction was completed in 2012. The 50,000 sq.ft. property is in the exclusive...

After news broke overnight of Hamas launching a surprise operation on an unprecedented scale against Israel, with over 100 dead and more than 900 people injured, Donald Trump responded in a way that should seem familiar by now, blaming the Biden administration. In a statement made to Truth Social, Trump writes, "These Hamas attacks are a disgrace and Israel has every right to defend itself with overwhelming force. Sadly, American taxpayer dollars helped fund these attacks, which many reports are saying came from the Biden Administration. We brought so much peace to the Middle East through the Abraham Accords, only...

Tomorrow, President Biden will announce a number of initiatives to support the Palestinian people by: Improving access to health care and technology; Rolling out long overdue 4G digital connectivity to both Gaza and the West Bank; Bolstering economic growth; Providing critical services for Palestinian refugees; Reducing food insecurity; Fostering people-to-people dialogue to support peace. President Biden will also announce new contributions totaling $316 million to support the Palestinian people. This is on top of the more than half a billion dollars the United States has provided to the Palestinian people since the Biden Administration restored much needed funding to the...

Four months after the death of Oakland baker, Jen Angel, the Oakland Police Department announcing they have a suspect in custody. Back in February, Angel was dragged by a car during a purse snatching - and then died days later. Now, Angel's friends are calling for alternatives to prison for alleged 19-year-old killer.

Confident that he had an "ace-in-the-hole," House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif) expected Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-Fla) motion to oust him from his position would fail. It didn't. "When I expressed my apprehension about allowing a single member to call for such a vote to former Speaker Pelosi (D-Calif) back in January she assured me 'I'll always back you up,'" McCarthy recalled. "But when it came time to vote she was absent and the current Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) urged the entire Democrat caucus to vote against me." Pelosi explained that "my absence fulfilled my personal promise that I would...

The Pope recently blessed the homosexual agenda and Pastor Andy Stanley is now allowing gays to speak at his church. What more do we need to see this is the Biblical warning of the last days. “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition” (2Th 2:3)

If you’re a left-wing radical advocating to defund the police, eliminate bail, and turn this country into an even bigger crime-riddled cesspool, beware, because Karma and the Grim Reaper are both on your tail. Literally. Under Joe Biden’s failed leadership, the United States is in a state of chaos. Many people compare what’s happening in the U.S., with our soaring crime, widespread perversion, border invasion, and North Korea-esque government, to the “end times” described in the Bible (complete with the “sign of the beast”) or even the fall of the Roman Empire. And speaking of the fall of great empires,...

Our colleagues and friends in the Chicago, Illinois area have sad news about a major bird collision event that occurred last night and this morning, 4-5 October 2023. Reports from the area indicate that large numbers of birds died in collisions while major migration was occurring in the area (see the following checklist, as well as this one). Although details are still emerging, this event appears to be a combination of high intensity migration, adverse weather conditions for flying, and light and glass – a mix we know too well can be deadly.Please note: we urge all businesses, building owners,...

Climate researcher Dr. Gianluca Grimalda says that he risks losing his post at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy in Germany for refusing to use a plane as a means of transport back from Papua New Guinea. Grimalda plans to return to Germany from his research trip without flying in order to reduce his carbon emissions by 90%, and instead intends to travel using ferries, coaches, trains and cargo ships. However, he said the institute gave him three days notice to return by October 2 which would have forced him to fly, according to a statement issued by climate...

The Biden family “influence peddling scheme” raked in at least $20 million from 23 countries on four continents via 20 shell companies, the House Ways and Means Committee stated based on new disclosures from IRS whistleblowers. “The newly released information shows that, in addition to China, Russia, and Ukraine, the Biden family influence peddling scheme was a vast global operation with ties to at least 23 countries and likely more,” the committee said Thursday.

The Rolling Stones and The Beatles have had a perceived rivalry since the '60s, but Keith Richards thinks John Lennon and George Harrison would've fit well in the Stones' lineup. “I don’t think John Lennon would have had much problem fitting into the Stones, or George, if you can imagine that sort of thing happening,” the guitarist admitted during an interview with The Telegraph. “We were the same generation, and we all loved the same music. When we first heard The Beatles, we were relieved that there was some other band in England on the same track that we were...

On Friday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “The Open,” acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su responded to a question on why the Biden administration is using tax dollars to give wealthy people credits to buy expensive electric cars by stating that they’re trying to create jobs and people support tax credits that help create jobs, and also because there’s a climate crisis. After Su mentioned the Biden administration’s economic policies, host Jonathan Ferro asked, “Let’s talk about those policies. There is something really peculiar going on at the moment. If you think about what’s happening at the picket line, they have serious...

X users hit back at Harvard professor emeritus Laurence Tribe for tweeting out (and then deleting) a conspiracy theory that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pursuing war against Hamas militants to distract from his own corruption in government. Tribe has now expressed regret for the "ill-informed" statement. Following Netanyahu’s Saturday statement declaring that Israel is "at war" after the deadly Hamas attack on his country resulting in the death of more than 100 Israelis, the progressive legal scholar posted that the prime minister was "wagging the dog of war" to keep the focus off his own authoritarian behavio
