and explains why he's braver than Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sly Stallone Jean-Claude Van Damme was famously locked in a feud with Steven Seagal in the 90s and has addressed his feelings about him in an interview with MailOnline. Both actors were considered two of the best action heroes of the golden age of martial arts in Hollywood movies at the time, which led to a level of competitiveness and public sparring. And when Jean-Claude heard Seagal, 71, belittling him in interviews, he is said to have challenged him to 'meet him outside' at a party at Sylvester Stallone's Miami home...

The head of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri, suggested in a conversation on Thursday with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu that continued American and other international support for Israel could “make other actors intervene” against it. Baqeri’s comments came less than a week after Iran’s foreign minister reportedly suggested Iranian action against the country. Iran’s radical Islamist regime regularly stages angry mobs chanting “death to Israel” and calling for the massacre of the country’s populations, most recently in response to the October 7 Hamas mass murder of upwards of 1,400 Israeli and international civilians, including dozens...

German-American far-right billionaire investor Peter Thiel was just revealed as an FBI informant as recently as 2021, according to a new report from Insider. Insider reported that alt-right activist Charles Johnson, also an FBI informant, initially introduced Thiel to Los Angeles-based FBI agent Johnathan Buma, who investigates political corruption and foreign influence campaigns. Following Johnson's introduction, the FBI allegedly added Thiel to its official database of "confidential human source" (CHS) informants, according to Insider.

Sidney Powell, the Trump-aligned lawyer and conspiracy theorist indicted in Georgia and accused of participating in a plot to overturn former President Donald J. Trump’s election loss in 2020, pleaded guilty on Thursday morning to six misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference of election duties. Ms. Powell, who appeared in a downtown Atlanta courtroom, was sentenced to six years of probation for the charges, a significantly less-severe outcome than she would have faced if found guilty of the charges for which she was originally indicted, which included a violation of the state racketeering law

The Pentagon recently retracted a directive that demanded the exclusive use of gender-neutral pronouns in specific award citations. This policy reversal followed significant public and political reaction. Initially, the "gender-neutral" pronouns rule was quietly introduced, but it stirred controversy, leading to its prompt review. The unfolding of these events presents a significant episode in the ongoing discourse around gender identity and language in official domains.

Evidence suggests some of the weapons used by Hamas in a bloody attack on southern Israel earlier this month likely came from North Korea. While Pyongyang has repeatedly denied supplying the terrorist group with weapons, expert analysis along with a trove of evidence that includes video as well as munitions seized by Israel, suggests otherwise. At the heart of the controversy is the F-7 rocket-propelled grenade, a shoulder-fired weapon fighters typically use against armored vehicles. An image published by Hamas after the Oct. 7 attack features members of the terrorist organization wielding a rocket-propelled grenade with a distinctive red stripe...

Victoria’s Secret, an American lingerie chain, is reportedly ditching its “woke feminist” rebrand and reprioritizing “sexiness” in an effort to bring back profitability. Over the past few years, the brand has desperately tried to repair its “hyper-sexualized” images with branding changes, like canceling the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and adding transgender and disabled models to its coveted roster. A tainted company image is not the only obstacle that Victoria’s Secret has tried to overcome.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Biden-Harris National Advisory Board member Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) stated that the migrants coming to Illinois “are here legally, these asylum seekers, they’re here to get a hearing and to have a decision made about whether or not they can stay in the United States.” But the Biden administration must “make it clear to the people who are at the border that getting on a bus to Chicago or New York in mid-October, heading into winter, where it’s going to be 20 degrees or 10 degrees, and where we just do not...

On October 16, 2023, Greg Gutfeld uttered a remark during his opening monologue. It hit like a heavyweight boxer’s uppercut to the jaw.

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper voiced concerns that Donald Trump will put him on the “enemies list” if he is elected president in 2024. During an appearance on CNN, host Abby Phillip asked Clapper if he believed Trump had an “enemies list” and whether other high-ranking officials could be targeted if Trump regains power. Phillip asked: “Tonight, the former president of the United States, who is currently a candidate for office again, is suggesting that the ongoing, outgoing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff should be e**cuted,” Phillip began in her question. “Donald Trump referred to...

"The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple" (Ps. 19:7). God’s Word imparts wisdom and knowledge beyond the realm of mere human understanding. David's characterization of God's Word as "the testimony of the Lord" (Ps. 19:7) speaks of its role as God's witness to who He is and what He requires of us. In addition, it's a "sure" witness. That means it's unwavering, immovable, unmistakable, reliable, and trustworthy. Peter made the same point when, after recounting his incredible experience with Christ on the Mount of Transfiguration (2 Pet. 1:16-18), he said, "but we have a testimony more...

Israel’s Naftali Bennett took CNN and Anderson Cooper to task for reporting the totally false claim that Israel bombed a hospital in Gaza. Evidence proves what should have already been assumed – that Hamas was lying and the “attack” actually was the result of an Islamic Jihad rocket launched from Gaza that failed. Bennett drew the comparison to 9/11 and if Al-Qaeda had claimed the next day the attack was carried out by the United States. The truth, of course, is that the Leftist Media hates Israel, and their default is to defend the Palestinians and attack Israel.

Special Dispatch to the New-York Times. WASHINGTON, Sunday, Oct. 18. Washington has been filled with rumors and excitements throughout the day.
