After a period of doubt as IDF troops idled on the Gaza border for weeks, Israel’s government has shown a serious commitment to the ground invasion of the Hamas-run enclave.

Israel’s allies continue to support its attempts to destroy the terrorist organization, and the unity government...

Voters swiped left on swinger and amateur pornographer Susanna Gibson on Tuesday. The Democrat faced calls to suspend her campaign after it was revealed that she raised money performing sex acts on the pornographic website Chaturbate, criticism she refused to take lying down. Still, she lost by a narrow margin to Republican David Owen, who will serve as delegate for Virginia’s 57th district in 2024. Gibson’s defeat suggests her political career reached a climax on Tuesday evening. Voters in Virginia were less likely to try new things than Gibson hoped, opting for conservative businessman Owen’s message of bringing "common sense"...

Note: The following is a most relevant open letter, which is important to all within the Body of Christ to read. Our prayer is that you will read carefully and understand God’s Holy View of Israel in these end times when the Jewish people are again beginning to suffer hatred throughout the world. Dear Brother or Sister in Christ, If you are a member of a Catholic or mainline denominational church, you have probably been taught something called replacement theology (and perhaps you don’t even know it has that name). Replacement theology leads those who have adopted it to believe...

The video shows the beast sauntering up to the...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday welcomed the European Union executive's recommendation to open membership talks with Kyiv, describing it as the "right step in history."

AbstractNitazenes are a group of compounds developed in the 1950s as opioid analgesics, but they were never approved to market. As such, they are not well known outside of academic research laboratories. A characteristic of nitazenes is their high potency (e.g., hundreds to thousands fold more potent than morphine and other opioids and tenfold more potent than fentanyl). In the past few years, several nitazenes, including “designer analogs,” have been detected in the illicit drug supply and have been implicated in overdose mortality, primarily due to their exceptionally high potency. In the street drug supply, nitazenes are often found mixed...
