Mayor LaToya Cantrell of New Orleans remarked how targeted Black leadership appeared to be while addressing federal investigations against her on Wednesday. During one of the mayor’s latest press conferences, Cantrell, a Democrat, was asked whether she received a target letter related to ongoing investigations against her for ethical violations. While she did not respond to the question directly, she commented on her history of investigations. "What I will say, as it relates to investigations, targeting all of that, and as I’ve given it thought… when I came in, even being elected mayor and even prior to that, the city...

"1Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: "The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: "But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice." ☰ Mark 9 1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they...

The Biden-Harris reelection campaign shared a "handy guide for responding to crazy MAGA nonsense" for supporters heading into the holidays with Trump supporting family members. The guide shared talking points to respond to conservative rhetoric about subjects from immigration to the economy. One slide included responses to when someone claims "Trump secured our border!" to reply with a "No he didn’t," followed by claims that "All he did was separate families, put children in cages, and leave behind a broken immigration system for Joe Biden to clean up." Critics across social media shredded the list of talking points, arguing it...

Astronomers have detected one of the most powerful cosmic rays ever observed – and it was beamed at Earth from a mysterious part of deep space.The cosmic phenomenon carried the energy of 240 quintillion electron volts – that’s 240 billion billion (followed by 18 zeros).For comparison, a typical lightning bolt is about 300 million volts.The cosmic ray – named Amaterasu, after the sun goddess in Japanese mythology – was detected by a telescope system in Utah in May 2021 by scientists who described it as ‘unprecedented’ in modern times.

The prophet Isaiah provides us with an example of how we can heal our tongue. 1. Isaiah drew near to the Lord and prayed for a vision of God’s holiness. “I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up” (Isaiah 6:1, NKJV). Anyone who wants to live a life that pleases God must constantly go into his presence until he sees God’s holiness. All healing, true blessings and victories begin at his throne. That is where we see God in his holiness! 2. While standing in God’s holy presence, Isaiah was deeply convicted for having unclean lips....

"By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones" (Heb. 11:22). God uses your present circumstances to accomplish His future purposes. Like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Joseph was an heir to the covenant promises of God. His hope was firmly fixed on God, and he knew that some day his people would be at home in the Promised Land. Although he spent all his adult life in Egypt, never seeing the Promised Land for himself, Joseph's faith never wavered. At the end of his life, he...

“And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them” (Genesis 11:6). These chilling words from the account of the tower of Babel in Genesis 11 came to mind regarding this summary of a news article reporting on horrific new research out of Israel that created “‘complete’ models of human embryos” in the lab. These scientists, by disregarding the value of human life, have decided that “nothing will now be impossible” as they try to create synthetic human life.

America and the Fourth Political TheoryThere is no progression from the founding of the United States. Every step away from the founding principles of individual rights and freedom is not a progression, it is a degradation. The mistake that so many people have made is to believe that there has to be some form of updating the founding principles in order to move forward, but all of it goes backward. In one sense there is the recognition that the nation has modernized, but what it has done is drift backwards, towards the fiefdoms of Britain, the Lords and Commoners. America,...

My latest song. Perfect for digesting turkey to.

In May of 2018, at the Whitley Hotel in Atlanta — known then as the Ritz-Carlton (Buckhead) — Dave Tepper played one of the greatest games of “Big Bank Take Little Bank” of all time. He bought the Carolina Panthers for a then-record $2.275 billion…in CASH. I'm thrilled about this. It’s more than fantastic,” he said. There are rich people. There are wealthy people. And then there are the ones like Tepper. But just because you’re part of the one percent, it doesn’t mean you have any idea of how to run an NFL franchise. Because on that spring day...

The 401st Brigade found four tunnel shafts on the outskirts of Jabalia in the Gaza Strip, Nov. 23. 2023. [...] Weapons found under children’s beds in Jabalia, near Gaza City, Nov. 23, 2023. Hamas frequently places its weapons and infrastructure among the civilian population, which it uses as human shields, knowing Israel will be hesitant to harm noncombatants. On Nov. 5, for instance, the IDF shared video evidence of Hamas rocket launchers placed next to a children’s swimming pool and a playground in the northern Gaza Strip. Israel has long decried the terrorist group’s practice of committing war crimes by...

Longtime anti-Israel activist Christiane Amanoour, as part of demonizing Israel has also an obsession with semantics. At the time of protests against Judicial reform, Amanpour pressed at least one Israeli interviewee to use the T word - 'totalitarian,' in case reform goes through. But to her disappointment, it did not. Now, after Oct 7 atrocities by the Gaza fascist genocidal regime, who foresaw Israeli response and have always been using non -combatants to make sure they die, Ananpour knows all that, but her israelophobia virus has a particular obsession with name calling on the victim and only democratic entity in...

It was a sinister attack that erupted after a simple road rage row. An innocent victim who was caught up in the crossfire; left with his hand severed by an axe amid the horror. The violence exploded on the Newbold Estate in Rochdale in 2017, where organised crime gang 'Adam' had a firm hold - wreaking havoc on the streets and instilling fear in the many innocent civilians living there. The victim, 18-year-old tree surgeon Cameron Brooksbank, was among his other colleagues who were set upon by the mob and attacked as he tried to diffuse the escalating volatility. The...

Jarad Nava, now 28, works as an assistant in the Department of Public Safety and is an advocate of prison reform. He was featured in a Los Angeles Times profile Thursday and credits California's Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom for his early release. In 2012, while drunk and high, he shot into a car carrying the relatives of a rival gang member. One of the victims was 16-year-old Yesenia Castro, who was shot in the back. The bullet severed her spinal chord and she was paralyzed from the waist down. Nava, who was 17 at the time, rejected a plea deal...

About 32,000 additional babies are being born per year following the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade last year, according to an analysis. “Our primary analysis indicates that in the first six months of 2023, births rose by an average of 2.3 percent in states enforcing total abortion bans compared to a control group of states where abortion rights remained protected, amounting to approximately 32,000 additional annual births resulting from abortion bans,” three researchers from the Georgia Insitute of Technology and Middlebury College wrote in a report published by the Institute of Labor Economics in Germany on Friday.The researchers...

Over 1-in-4 women who considered an abortion have instead chosen instead to take their pregnancy to term in states where protections for the unborn were enacted following the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade. The data, found in a study by the left-wing Institute of Labor Economics, only covers the first six-months of 2023 but signals to pro-life activists their efforts to save unborn lives is making progress – despite set-backs at the ballot box in the 2022 and 2023 elections.While pro-life Americans might see the new data as a positive development, Middlebury College professor Caitlin Myers –...

The U.S. federal government has borrowed so much money that, over the past year, it has had to spend one-fifth of all the money it collected just on debt interest—which came to almost $880 billion.Americans paid some $450 billion less in income taxes for the year, trapping the government in the pincers of a fiscal crunch.The country teeters on the brink of a debt spiral that could devolve into a fiscal crisis or hyperinflation, several economists told The Epoch Times.“The problem is serious because, any way you cut it, taxpayers are paying interest on the mountain of debt that has...

Disabled Scots felt like their lives were ‘not worth saving’ during the pandemic after Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders were secretly imposed on many of them, an inquiry has heard. As Covid began to spread, GP receptionists even called up those with disabilities to try to persuade them to sign up to the orders, which inform doctors that they do not want their lives saved in an emergency. Glasgow Disability Alliance chief executive Tressa Burke also told the Scottish Covid-19 Inquiry how some of her members were left so isolated during lockdowns they feared their bodies would not be discovered...
