"Cain brought an offering to the Lord of the fruit of the ground. And Abel . . . brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and for his offering; but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard" (Gen. 4:3-5). True discipleship is characterized by obedience to God’s Word. In John 8:31 Jesus issued an important statement to a group of people who were showing an interest in Him: "If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine." Sadly, they rejected His...

Democrats in Virginia on Tuesday night retained their majority in the state Senate — a blow to Republicans who were hoping to achieve total control of the state legislature and boost Gov. Glenn Youngkin in his final two years in office. The GOP also lost control of Virginia’s House of Delegates, with Democrats set to win at least 51 seats in the 100-member lower chamber.

"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: "(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) " Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." "But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. "For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth." ☰ Matthew 1 1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage,...

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has significantly reduced its stake in Chinese electric car manufacturer BYD in a series of sales over the past 18 months, according to recent filings.

Gong attributes this success...

In a wide-ranging interview focusing on the deplorable state of America’s current leadership, General Michael Flynn suggested that members of Congress are being blackmailed by globalists to do their bidding because they’ve been “compromised by sleeping with children.”The former National Security Adviser for the Trump administration sketched a stark picture of Washington, D.C. as one under siege by hostile forces, where those holding the highest offices in the land are Marxists at heart, true believers in the globalist agenda:Our country is being taken over, and we are in desperate need of strong leaders to rise up through this mess and...

A former US National Women’s Soccer League player was filmed allegedly flashing a Nazi salute at pro-Israel demonstrators in Los Angeles. Stefany Ferrer Van Ginkel, who previously played for the Angel City Football Club based in LA, signed the “Sieg Heil” salute from the passenger seat of a vehicle, video posted online by watchdog group StopAntisemitism shows. “Shame on you,” the demonstrators at the Beverly Hills rally shouted at her. It’s not clear what occurred before the recording began. Behind the wheel was another professional soccer player — identified by the group as Samim Haydari.

Pharmaceutical company Pfizer is to reduce the number of people it employs at its manufacturing plant in Newbridge, County Kildare by 100. The move is part of a wider restructuring process arising from a significant drop in demand for its COVID-19 vaccines and treatments. […] Pfizer had recently announced that it planned to cut its global costs by $3.5 billion over the next year because of the fall off in sale of its COVID-19 vaccine and Paxlovid anti-viral treatment. The company said it expects revenues from its Comirnaty vaccine to fall 70% this year compared to 2022 levels due to...

Rome CNN — Italy will build two detention centers in Albania to house migrants trying to reach its shores, Prime Minister Georgia Meloni said Monday, in an attempt to control migration figures that have almost doubled in the year since she took office. Meloni said the facilities are due to open next spring and will initially take in 3,000 people. Once the centers are “fully up and running,” Meloni said her government could process up to 36,000 people a year. Meloni’s far-right Brothers of Italy party is facing growing domestic pressure as it has failed to deliver on an electoral...

Republicans painted Long Island completely red Tuesday night with the party’s candidate Ed Romaine winning a landslide victory against Democrat David Calone to become Suffolk County executive. The GOP now occupies all the countywide seats in Nassau and Suffolk Counties — both county executive seats, the district attorney and comptroller’s offices, as well as all four congressional seats. Romaine sailed to victory with 56% of the vote, beating Calone by more than 26,000 votes. “This is a political earthquake,” said former US Sen. Al D’Amato. Longtime analysts of Long Island politics said they could recall only one brief period in...

Thinking about getting a guy’s name inked across your kisser? Tat’s a no-brainer — literally. Sure, being head-over-heels in love is a many splendored thing.But let’s face it, permanently stamping a partner’s name on your forehead is something most sweethearts would refuse to even consider — unless, of course, you’ve got a lover like “Kevin.” “Getting my [boyfriend’s] name tattooed on my face,” gushed ink-loving Londoner Ana Stanskovsky, 27, in the captions of an eye-popping TikTok post. “Let’s do it!” The footage, which has nearly 19 million views, appears to show the woman getting beau Kevin Freshwater’s moniker needled just...

I'm tending to think the Democrats have totally mastered the arts (there are various kinds) of ballot cheating...and persuading voters just isn't enough anymore. Very depressing for me. Thoughts?

An Upper East Side café where baristas quit in protest over the Jewish owner's support of Israel is now busier than ever with customers lined up around the block to show their support. The owner of Caffe Aronne, Aaron Dahan, was left short-staffed Tuesday morning after his baristas quit on him when he addressed the 'Free Palestine' pins they wore to work. Dahan, 25, said a total of five baristas walked out since the October 7 terrorist attack in Israel, in which Hamas slaughtered 1,400 Israelis and kidnapped more than 200 civilians - including at least 13 American citizens and...
