A Babylonian tablet fragment found at Nippur, an ancient Babylonian site in the same general location that Abraham came from. The area outlined in black is a record about the Flood. There are more than 300 known records of the Flood world-wide, with about 30 of them in writing. Some are remarkably close in their details to the original—the biblical account.Creationists are often accused of believing that the whole Bible should be taken literally. This is not so! Rather, the key to a correct understanding of any part of the Bible is to ascertain the intention of the author of...

"And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: "And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless." "But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." ☰ Matthew 22 1 And Jesus answered and spake...

Video of firing a 4 Bore rifle. It hurts just watching it.

There’s no place like a Trump rally!

On this date in 2011, China’s “land granny” was executed for plundering 145 million yuan ($23 million) from China’s swelling bubble in real estate. Luo Yaping was head of a land sub-bureau in a district of Fushun, a city in northeast China — not an especially high position — and yet she was able to use her power over land development and compensation to accumulate a fortune in bribes and embezzled compensation,” according to Reuters. Though anti-corruption investigators tarred her racket as “the lowest in class, biggest in sum and evilest in tactics,” neither the person nor her boodle were...

Ha!

***[T]he ESG movement, which pushed big investors and money management firms to consider progressive environmental responsibility, social justice issues and corporate governance policies when making investments and voting shares at stockholder meetings. This is a legitimate, if not necessarily successful, investment strategy for the individual investor. Still, it creates conflicts for large asset managers such as BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street which — until the onset of the Biden administration, at least — the law and convention dictated should consider only the need to generate the maximum return on investment possible for their clients when making investment decisions. *** Eventually,...

Dueling demonstrations outside the Museum of Tolerance became heated on Wednesday night. Inside, a private screening of video of atrocities from the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel was underway. Outside, horns were blaring, flags were waving, and shouting matches were erupting. About 50 protesters gathered outside the museum prior to the start of the 47-minute film titled “Bearing Witness.” The film is a compilation of video from the attacks, gathered by the Israeli military. An estimated 1,400 people were killed and more than 200 taken hostage in the Oct. 7 attacks. In response, Israel has bombarded the Gaza Strip...

In the Middle East these days, things just seem to get more and more surreal by the moment. In the latest installment of "Terror Group Leaders Gone Wild," Hezbollah, not wanting to be suddenly ignored by Western news outlets -- what with Hamas grabbing all the "Islamic terrorist scumbag" media attention -- has announced that they have some Russian-made Yakhont anti-ship missiles with which to threaten the United States Navy.Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned Washington last week his group had something in store for the U.S. vessels deployed to the region since war erupted last month between the Palestinian...

The death of Paul Kessler in a suburb of Los Angeles was widely covered yesterday. Police still haven’t arrested anyone and aren’t saying this was a hate crime yet. But Kessler’s death seems like the tip of an anti-Semitic iceberg. Crimes targeting Jews have been on the rise around the world, some of them merely threatening and some on the verge of being deadly.In the threatening category, just a few days ago a Jewish man in Beverly Grove, which is just east of Beverly Hills, found a message painted on his garage door.Scott Shulman, who for many years worked as...

The ATF can’t arrest anyone for owning a pistol-brace-equipped gun.That’s the outcome of a ruling handed down by United States District Court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk on Wednesday. He granted a motion to stay enforcement of the agency’s rule banning the possession of effectively all braced guns that weren’t registered earlier this year. He found the ATF exceeded its power when crafting the rule.

Moderate-intensity statin with ezetimibe combination therapy was confirmed to be effective on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction in patients at very high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The research team found out that the therapy has a higher compliance rate than the conventional high-intensity statin monotherapy. In order to prevent the recurrence of myocardial infarction or stroke, it is crucial to maintain LDL-C levels lower than 55mg/dL or 70mg/dL for patients at a very high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Statin drug therapy is the most often used. However, continued treatment with high-dose statin may cause a high risk of...

Despite what ads for wrinkle cream would have us believe, there's no magic reversal for aging. As the years pass, a certain amount of change is inevitable but not, it turns out, inexorable. Fingers that feel less nimble in doing the normal tasks of life—buttoning a shirt, writing a list—are not doomed to stay that way, new research shows. It also demonstrates that, to some extent, age is just a number. Researchers worked with more than two dozen study participants ages 60 to 83 to understand whether manual dexterity can improve with time. Over six sessions, participants completed a pegboard...

Germany is facing its second winter without gas deliveries from Russia. But analysts say that for gas shortages to really bite, a lot of things would have to go wrong. Germans themselves are optimistic. In the first year of it's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Moscow tried to capitalize on concerns that energy would become scarce in Europe during the cold winter months. The Russians even made a short video to feed these fears, featuring tales of how Germans would freeze without supplies from Russia's Gazprom. The Russian state-owned company halted all gas deliveries to Germany in late August 2022. But...

We all know that a lousy night's sleep can leave us feeling drained the next day. Now a study has found another reason to catch more Z's: poor sleep is tied to significantly higher odds of experiencing atrial fibrillation (A-Fib)—irregular heartbeats that can lead to blood clots, heart failure, stroke and other heart-related problems—the following day. A bad night of sleep was associated with a 15% greater risk of having an A-Fib episode, and continued poor sleep was associated with longer episodes of A-Fib. The researchers noted that it is important to treat underlying disease that may be causing A-Fib,...

Let me begin by saying to all you leftists that I told you so. Lots of leftists are supporting raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans, and they are mad that they are now being treated like people who support raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans. Apparently, this is a terrible attack on free speech and McCarthyism and probably Islamophobic and transphobic and is the worst thing ever since the last thing that was the worst thing ever. Well, I think it’s kind of funny. They are mad and accuse us conservatives of now embracing cancel culture. You can argue about the definition...

Seven Nashville police officers have been placed on administrative leave amid an investigation into how the 'manifesto' of school shooter Audrey Hale leaked online. Nashville Police Department told WSMV that the officers were suspended after a probe into how three pages of notes written by Hale before she opened fire at The Covenant School in March. She fatally shot three nine-year-olds and three teachers before being shot dead by police. The manifesto had been shrouded in secrecy since the shooting, until they were leaked on Monday by controversial podcast host Steven Crowder, who claimed his reporters obtained it from a...
