It’s often said that God works in mysterious ways, and the righteous ultimately prevail. This sentiment might just have played out in the World Series’ final game, where the Texas Rangers claimed victory. This win marks their first World Series title in 52 years. But there’s an interesting twist to their triumph: the Rangers were the only team in the MLB to resist hosting a “Pride Night.” It looks like God rewarded them for it, too. ... God Rewards Only Team That Doesn't Have A Pride Night With World Series Win ... The Rangers took a lot of heat for...

A new Emerson College poll out on Friday shows Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear and Attorney General Daniel Cameron in a dead heat less than a week before the Kentucky gubernatorial election — both polling at 47%. The results are a shift for Beshear, who has had a significant lead in almost all polling leading up to the election. Earlier in October, he was polling at 49% in the same poll as Cameron sat at 33%, and 13% of respondents would rather vote for someone else.

The Sixth forum of the “Laudato Si’ Communities” was held in Verona, Italy, earlier this month. This is a series of meetings devoted to propagating Pope Francis’ views on what is called “the climate emergency.” This latest affair was called “Doubling the Commitment.” This was a reference to Francis’ new exhortation, Laudate Deum, in which he warns us that the end is near, both for “our suffering planet” and, by extension, for us. He struck the same note in his opening video message to the Verona meeting, warning that it’s “a very difficult time” and that “within 30 years the...

Hamas has always been committed to wiping out the nation of Israel, and now after the terror attacks of October 7th Israel is committed to wiping out Hamas. So what we are witnessing is truly a “death match” that will produce only one survivor. Hamas is desperately hoping that all of Israel’s enemies in the region will unite and try to destroy the nation of Israel once and for all. Meanwhile, Israel is attempting to slowly but surely strangle the terror group out of existence. In fact, it is being reported that the IDF has now “completed the encirclement of...

After a suspicious absence from the limelight following the start of war between Israel and Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, Hezbollah’s Sec.-Gen. Hassan Nasrallah announced that he will be giving a major address to his supporters in Beirut, Lebanon on Friday at 3 p.m. local time. The speech is widely expected to reveal the direction the Iranian-backed terror organization Hezbollah intends to take in the conflict with Israel. Israel and the U.S. have so far made major efforts to keep Hezbollah on the sidelines of the war. U.S. President Joe Biden sent a strong message to that effect with his...

A war that started on this Jewish holiday after the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas carried out a bloody invasion of southern Israel, committing heinous crimes against humanity. Only a select group of first aid workers, IDF military, government officials and journalists–as well as US President Joe Biden and other leaders of Western countries–know the full extent of the horrors. Biden’s unprecedented response to what happened in Israel on October 7,...

NOTES: (paraphrasing): Israel aid: I'm all for what the Speaker is doing. We must pay for any aid. This is the conservative position. It ought to be paid for by taking it away from something that is harmful to our economy like more IRS agents so I think it's a Win-Win. I think McConnell-Biden-Schumer will lose on this issue. There's about $44 billion in IRS money.. I'm happy to rescind all of this if necessary On the border crisis: Migrants need to remain in Mexico. [in camps] "We must change the law...

1 Arrival If ever there were a perfect movie, it’s this Amy Adams gem from Dune director Denis Villeneuve. The narrative is based on Story of Your Life, a Nebula-winning novella written by Ted Chiang, its themes exploring language barriers and bridging the gap between humanity and things we don’t understand. It’s heavy stuff for an alien drama, but trust us when we say it’s so, so worth your time.

I’ve never seen people less concerned about ethics and corruption than Democrat senators. The media, Illinois’s Dick Durbin, and other Democrats are targeting the Supreme Court constitutionalists for their ethics and gifts. They don’t like the way Justice Thomas and Justice Alito rule, so they are seeking to destroy them. As far as I can tell, there haven’t been any rulings that have been affected by these gifts, but that doesn’t matter—the Democrats and their lackeys are trying to destroy in the court of public opinion, so they can replace conservative justices with activist justices who rule in lockstep with...

Explanation: That bright beacon you've seen rising in the east just after sunset is Jupiter. Climbing high in midnight skies, our Solar System's ruling gas giant was at its 2023 opposition, opposite the Sun in planet Earth's sky, on November 2. But only a few days earlier, on October 28, the Moon was at its own opposition. Then both Full Moon and Jupiter could share this telephoto field of view. The celestial scene is composed from two exposures, one long and one short, blended to record bright planet and even brighter Moon during that evening's partial lunar eclipse. Moonlight shining...

GAZA — Members of the media remain unsure of the motivation behind Hamas' violent attacks against Israel, with a reporter on the scene left speculating while Hamas terrorists held up a banner behind her with "EXTERMINATE THE JEWS FROM EXISTENCE" written boldly in all-caps. "Their motives and goals remain a mystery," the reporter stated as the Hamas terrorist waved the banner in the background. "Are they seeking full Palestinian statehood and sovereignty? Are they hoping to improve the lives of the civilians under their charge? Do they want Taylor Swift tickets? Sadly, we may, in fact, never know what it...

Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell bluntly warned Republican senators in a private meeting not to sign on to a bill from Sen. Josh Hawley aimed at limiting corporate money bankrolling high-powered outside groups, telling them that many of them won their seats thanks to the powerful super PAC the Kentucky Republican has long controlled. According to multiple sources familiar with the Tuesday lunch meeting, McConnell warned GOP senators that they could face “incoming” from the “center-right” if they signed onto Hawley’s bill. He also read off a list of senators who won their races amid heavy financial support from the...

*The US economy is lurching toward a recession, according to Jeff Gundlach. *The DoubleLine Capital chief pointed to a "de-inverted" bond-yield curve and the rising unemployment rate as signs of a looming slump. *Layoffs are coming," he warned.

"The shape of the yield curve is extremely unstable at this time," Gundlach told...
