When then-Lance Cpl. Javier Ortiz came home from a secret mission in Syria, the ghost of a dead girl appeared to him in his kitchen.

No, this isn’t the tilt effect in the mortgage market where inflation is front-loaded in mortgage rates making mortgage payments quite unaffordable. Although inflation is causing mortgage rates to be up 174% under Biden (while Biden continues to brag about how Bidenomics is helping). Meanwhile, the 10Y Treasury yield is up 402% under Biden (making refinancing the US staggering debt load more difficult to refinance. Higher mortgage rates tilt the present value of mortgage payments to the front, making housing even more unaffordable. Thanks Joe! But the Tilt effect I am talking about is the TLT effect.

"By analysing Uranus’s aurora which directly connects to both the planet's magnetic field and atmosphere, we can make predictions about the atmospheres and magnetic fields of these worlds and hence their suitability for life. "Our results will go on to broaden our knowledge of ice giant auroras and strengthen our understanding of planetary magnetic fields in our solar system, at exoplanets and even our own planet." Earlier this year scientists revealed new data found two of the 27 moons orbiting Uranus could have active oceans deep beneath their surfaces where extra terrestrials (ETs) could also be present. The news comes...

Matthew 23:1-12 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus turns his sharp eye and withering critique on the many ways that religious leaders fall into corruption. What precisely is bothering Jesus? Some religious leaders get their kicks from burdening people, laying the law on them heavily, making demands that are terrible, exulting in their own moral superiority.At the core of Jesus’ program is a willingness to bear other people’s burdens, to help them carry their loads. And this applies to the moral life as well. If we lay the burden of God’s law on people, we must be willing, at the same...

The World Health Organization warned that Gaza hospitals are at a breaking point. That was October 12. UNICEF warned that incubators were hours away from being shut down due to lack of fuel in Gaza: That was October 22. Now, let's look at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City last night, where Hamas held a rally, complete with huge video screen: Notice all the lights, inside and outside the hospital. Looks like they had plenty of fuel there, three weeks after supplies were supposed to run dry. It's a miracle! UNICEF and WHO are useful idiots, willing to believe the lies...

After hearing testimony from former Pittsburgh US Attorney Scott Brady to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) assailed Attorney General Merrick Garland wanting to know "why certain Justice Department and FBI officials improperly delayed and impeded investigative activity into the Biden family."

"Further, Joe Biden was video taped publicly bragging about how he withheld a billion...

On Oct. 19, 2023, Israel Today posted an article by Charles Gardner (author, founder of Christian Publications International, former correspondent, former reporter, etc.) that says tyrants have tried to destroy the Jews before and suggests that the Hamas killing rampage is “a sure sign that God has a glorious plan in mind which the enemy (Satan) is determined to prevent.” I think Garder is right, and here is my understanding of what he wrote: >In Egypt, Pharaoh’s order to midwives attending women giving birth to cast Hebrew male babies into a river was an effort by Satan to prevent the...

CHICAGO (AP) — Brunch dates and flag football games might be a little easier to get to this Sunday, when phones grace early-risers with an extra hour of rest before alarm clocks go off. The downside: Next week across most of the U.S., the sun will set well before many folks step foot out of the office, leaving them to run errands or take walks in utter darkness.
