University of Pennsylvania President Elizabeth Magill resigned under pressure this month following severe backlash for her refusal to condemn calls for genocide against Jews in testimony before a congressional panel. But Magill did not lose her job because she was unable to tell Congress whether calling for the genocide of Jews was prohibited without context.Instead, she was fired because she accidentally let slip the rules by which Penn’s draconian speech code and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) system operated – a system based not on the nature or severity of offenses, but on whether the administration found it advantageous to...

When I was at the checkout, I felt a strong blow from behind and saw someone running from the store. I started chasing him and shot at him. Apparently, I wounded him," Kalcheim said.

What is truly unexpected is that Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration has just ordered a state spending freeze. In a memo sent across California agencies and departments this week, the director of the Department of Finance wrote, “It is vitally important that state government is efficient, effective, and only expends funds that are necessary to the critical operation and security of the state. As such, all state entities must take immediate action to reduce expenditures and identify all operational savings achieved.” The department urged state agencies to take several steps to save money, including avoiding any new contracts or agreements to...

After years of trying to “protect democracy” and “fortify democracy”, Democrats finally succeeded in Oregon where they banned Republicans from running for office. That’s what the Democrat flavor of democracy looks like. When the Tennessee House of Representatives temporarily expelled two Democrats who had taken part in an insurrection on its grounds, the media quickly turned it into a national story. The move by the Republican majority was an “attack on democracy”. But when the Democrat majority in Oregon banned half the Republican Senate delegation from running for reelection, that has been treated as a local story. And not an...

‘Who created God?’ is an age-old question. Children sometimes ask it because they’re curious. But atheists more commonly ask it because they think it is a ‘gotcha’ question for Christians.So, is it really a ‘gotcha’ question? Does God—like everything else in the universe—need a cause? Or have atheists made an error in logic in assuming this?As Dr Don Batten explains, ‘Who created God?’ has a simple, logical answer—so Christians have no need to be intimidated! On the other hand, atheists have some explaining of their own to do when it comes to first causes!

History is replete with examples of Marxism (satanic influenced depravity and indecency), advancing through society with public expressions of cultural evil, degeneracy and perversion. Boundaries of civility are not just removed; they are destroyed in favor of perversion. The absence of moral behavior in the Senate chamber is not a new phenomenon, but the scale of recent indecency reflects a toxic exhibition of evil as manifest.Personally, I have a very difficult time even discussing this story. It is evil, sick and reflects a level of depravity that makes most people extremely uncomfortable. However, it is also important to put context...
