They're called the Two by Twos (2x2) or The Church with No Name - and there's a following here in the Bay Area. 72 miles south of San Francisco, in a remote isolated location of San Martin, a special meeting took place where a group of people preached their version of the gospel. What is the 2X2 religious sect? It's a non-denominational Christian religious sect that's been around since the late 1800s. It was founded by Scottish evangelist William Irvine. Historical...

The Biden Administration on Tuesday afternoon release the details of President Biden's executive actions that offers permanent residence to some non-citizens without congressional approval – a measure House Speaker Mike Johnson says will just encourage more illegal immigration into the U.S. “Just two weeks ago, the president pretended to crack down on the open-border catastrophe by engaging an election-year border charade. Now he’s trying to play both sides and is granting amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens," the Louisiana Republican said.

Instead of reading it as is, i. e. playing the devil's advocate for Hitler fans "palestinians" who he rightfully calls IslamoNazis, the Anti-Israel and often anti-Jewish twisted Haaretz, a long foe of the right, presented Feiglin in a ludicrous light as if he were suicidal which doesn't make sense. Here is the Haaretz piece: "Former Israeli MK Quotes Hitler While Discussing Gaza War. June 16, 2024. — 'As Hitler Said,' Moshe Feiglin Said to Channel 12 News, 'I Can't Live if One Jew Is Left,' We Can't Live Here if One 'Islamo-Nazi' Remains in Gaza." It has been then quoted...

Explanation: Yes, but can your thunderstorm do this? Pictured here are gigantic jets shooting up from a thunderstorm last week toward the Himalayan Mountains in China and Bhutan. The composite image captured four long jets that occurred only minutes apart. Gigantic jets, documented only in this century, are a type of lightning discharge that occurs between some thunderstorms and the Earth's ionosphere high above them. They are an unusual type of lightning that is much different from regular cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning. The bottoms of gigantic jets appear similar to a cloud-to-above strike called blue jets, while the tops appear...

The Secret Service destroyed a video that captured President Joe Biden's dog Commander chomping down on one of its agents - in an attack that forced the White House to shut down tours so blood could be wiped off the floor. DailyMail.com filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Secret Service in March after a video was mentioned as part of an email that detailed a June 15, 2023 biting incident with the since-banished first dog. The video purportedly showed Commander running at a high rate of speed and jumping toward the agent in the East Wing's Kennedy...

The Associated Press (AP) on Monday fact-checked a video of former President Barack Obama walking President Joe Biden off stage by citing one anonymous source who attended the event. The fact check comes after Biden’s aides became more quarrelsome with the media about coverage of Biden’s age, gaffes, and videos exposing moments of strange confusion. A video on Sunday showed Obama walking Biden off the stage after the president appeared to freeze. Another video appeared to show Biden wandering off into the distance in Europe before Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni turned him back to the group of world leaders...

Gerald R. Ford (Republican) v. Jimmy Carter (Democrat) The 1976 presidential election was the first held in the wake of the Watergate scandal, which had consumed the Nixon presidency and resulted in Gerald R. Ford becoming president. Ford had first become Vice President by congressional confirmation in the wake of Vice President Sprio Agnew's own corruption scandal and resignation, resutling in the first American president who had not been elected to be either president or vice president. Ford, the Republican candidate, was pitted against the relatively unknown former 1-term governor of Georgia, Jimmy Cater. Carter ran as a Washington outsider,...

(WASHINGTON) — Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s office on Tuesday said a current Boeing employee has come forward as a whistleblower, an announcement that comes hours before the airplane manufacturer’s chief executive is scheduled to testify on Capitol Hill. The senator’s office identified the employee as Sam Mohawk, a quality assurance inspector for Boeing in Renton, Washington. Mohawk alleges that Boeing is cutting corners by losing track of parts that have been labeled as non-conforming or not up to design standards, according to Blumenthal. Sometimes these parts get a second chance because they can be fixed or were mislabeled, but often they...

[Catholic Caucus] The Faith of Pope Pius IX’s Qui Pluribus is Alone Capable of Defeating Catholicism’s Enemies In 1846, Blessed Pius IX began his first papal encyclical, Qui Pluribus (On Faith and Religion), by describing his purpose in writing to the Church’s bishops:“Its purpose is to urge that you keep the night-watches over the flock entrusted to your care with the greatest possible eagerness, wakefulness and effort, and that you raise a protecting wall before the House of Israel; do these as you battle with episcopal strength and steadfastness like good soldiers of Christ Jesus against the hateful enemy of...

So shiny. Not aliens. Image credit: LVMPD 2020, it's fair to say, was an odd year. With a pandemic moving across the world and all the life changes that involved, it's easy to forget smaller stories, like that weird few months when monoliths started popping up around the world like Starbucks, sometimes containing cryptic messages. Well, good news if you missed it, because they are back and doing what they love; randomly appearing in deserts. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department stumbled across one such "mysterious monolith" last weekend. The new monolith looks a lot like the old monoliths. Image...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu published a video statement Tuesday urging the U.S. to stop withholding weapons and ammunition from Israel. In May, the Biden administration confirmed that it was withholding heavy precision bombs from Israel in protest against Israel’s decision to enter the southern Gaza town of Rafah to fight the last remaining Hamas battalions. As a result, Israel was forced to send troops into potentially booby-trapped buildings rather than bombing them. The White House said it was concerned about Palestinian civilian casualties, but a million civilians left Rafah.

According to Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass) "the guilty verdicts in the Trump election interference case and the Hunter Biden illegal weapon possession case prove that our justice system works. Here we have a former president of the United States and the son of the current president both convicted as common criminals. Only in America could we see such an even-handed dispensation of justice. This demolishes the Republican claim that Democrats have weaponized the judicial system." Trump asserted that "Rep. McGovern is wrong on both cases. Back in 2017 the Federal Election Commission determined that the Non-Dislosure Agreements with Stormy Daniels...
