To the best of our knowledge, this information is completely true, having been verified by all those who served in positions with first hand knowledge of the facts and circumstances of his service and departure from the Minnesota National Guard. Many of...

Meanwhile, the company and some of its other subsidiaries...

I HEAR THERE IS A BIG MOVEMENT TO “BRING BACK CROOKED JOE.” ---------- What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the U.S., whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and others on the Lunatic Left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the Nomination, beginning with challenging...

Former President Trump said Tuesday he will be interviewed by billionaire tech and media mogul Elon Musk next week. “ON MONDAY NIGHT I’LL BE DOING A MAJOR INTERVIEW WITH ELON MUSK — Details to follow,” Trump wrote in a short post on his Truth Social website. The former president’s announcement comes just days after he hosted internet influencer Adin Ross at his Mar-a-Lago residence as he works to keep online buzz churning around his campaign for a second term in the White House. Musk is the owner of social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, and has a history...

As a congressman, Walz cited Guantanamo Bay facility as 'serious obstacle to peace in the Middle East' ... Minnesota governor Tim Walz, who was named Kamala Harris’s vice presidential pick on Tuesday, pushed to close the Guantanamo Bay prison camp and move its terrorist captives into holding facilities in the United States. His position put him to the left of other prominent Minnesota Democrats like Amy Klobuchar, but Gitmo, Walz said, is a "serious obstacle to peace in the Middle East." As a House member representing Minnesota's First Congressional District, Walz voted against a 2009 measure that would have barred...

Explanation: What makes this storm cloud so colorful? First, the cloud itself is composed of millions of tiny droplets of water and ice. Its bottom is almost completely flat -- but this isn't unusual. Bottom flatness in clouds is generally caused by air temperature dropping as you go up, and that above a specific height, water-saturated air condenses out water droplets. The shape of the cloud middle is caused by a water-droplet-laden column of air being blown upward. Most unusual, though, are the orange and yellow colors. Both colors are caused by the cloud's water drops reflecting sunlight. The orange...

Never before seen footage showing a Planned Parenthood employee appearing to discuss the sale of aborted babies’ body parts was released Tuesday, years after now-Vice President Kamala Harris seized the footage as Attorney General of California. The five-minute video shows a conversation between a person identified as Dr. Stacy De-Lin, Planned Parenthood New York City Medical Director for Abortion Services, and an undercover reporter with the Center for Medical Progress (CMP). During their conversation, De-Lin seems to acknowledge that Planned Parenthood would sell the livers of aborted babies. In one clip, De-Lin is told by a CMP investigator that she...

If you spend any time looking at diet and lifestyle content on social media, you may well have encountered a variety of weight loss "hacks". One of the more recent trends is a home-made drink called ricezempic, made by soaking uncooked rice and then straining it to drink the leftover starchy water. Sounds delicious, right? Its proponents claim it leads to weight loss by making you feel fuller for longer and suppressing your appetite, working in a similar way to the sought-after drug Ozempic – hence the name. So does this drink actually mimic the weight loss effects of Ozempic?...

Kamala Harris just selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate and she could not have picked a more radically pro-abortion activist to join her ticket. Walz signed a bill to allows abortions up to birth. But he also put his signature on allowing infanticide, letting babies die who survive abortions. Babies survive abortions every year, including five in 2021 just in Minnesota. But the state no longer protects their lives. Minnesota Democrats took control of the state legislature in 2023 and quickly passed a series of radical pro-abortion bills. One repealed a state law that required medical providers...

Tropical Storm Debby is moving back over water where it could restrengthen some off the Southeast coast, but its main threat continues to be potentially historic heavy rainfall that could produce catastrophic flooding in parts of the Southeast the next several days. D​ebby's moisture will also fuel a threat of flooding rain in the Northeast U.S. in the days ahead. H​ere's where Debby is now and where it will head next. Debby is centered near Tybee Island, Georgia, as a tropical storm. Its shield of rain extends from southeast Georgia and extreme northeast Florida to much of South Carolina, eastern...

Vice President Kamala Harris’ newly announced running mate — Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz — signed a bill in April of 2023 allowing the state to make custody determinations if a child is denied access to sex-change procedures. The “Trans Refuge Bill” allows for “temporary emergency jurisdiction” if a parent denies their child sex-change procedures, according to the bill’s text. The bill defines the interventions, which include sex-changes, hormone replacement and cosmetic surgeries, as “medically necessary” so long as it “respects the gender identity of the patient, as experienced and defined” by the child. “Freedom is on the march in...

The evangelical desire to not “offend” too often leads us to subtly shrink back from what we say we believe when the time comes to show how much we truly believe it. Image The Keswick Convention is the oldest and most prestigious evangelical conference in the UK. I know many who have contributed to and benefited from it over the years. It is known as something of an evangelical bastion, as promoting sound doctrine, holding the line on key issues, etc. Yet sadly, like many evangelical institutions today, it now appears to be "saddened" not by the heinous evil in...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — FBI agents executed a search warrant late last week on Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles as the first-term Republican faces continuing scrutiny over fraudulent campaign financial reports that he filed, NewsChannel 5 has confirmed. Reached by telephone Tuesday, Ogles’ attorney declined to comment, although he did not deny that his client had been targeted for a search by federal authorities. …… Execution of the search warrant came immediately after Ogles defeated Courtney Johnston in the Republican primary as he seeks a second term in the U.S. Congress. Department of Justice guidelines generally prohibit law enforcement from taking...

Hamas announced Tuesday that it had named Gaza-based leader Yayha Sinwar as its new leader to replace political chief Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in Tehran, Iran, last week while attending the presidential inauguration there. Sinwar, who is regarded as the architect of the October 7 terror attack in which Hamas murdered 1,200 Israelis, is thought to be hiding underground in a tunnel in Gaza, possibly surrounded by Israeli hostages as human shields. The Times of Israel reported: Sinwar was selected by Hamas’s 50-strong Shura Council, a consultative body composed of officials elected by Hamas members in four chapters: Gaza,...

What will the Trump team be able to dig up on Harris' political past? Why is the office of Presidency important for shaping the culture…

Keswick Convention, The oldest Christian festival in the UK, is rightly under fire for distancing itself from a pro-life message after the cowardly, spineless, and soft organization said in a statement that they were “saddened” that a group named Brephos showed up at their event with a non-graphic picture of a fetus in the womb. They asked the group to take down the sign and stated they were “delighted” to be working with police over the incident. “We are aware that Brephos, an organisation not affiliated with Keswick Ministries, are taking part in a ‘public education’ event in Keswick town...

CNN appeared eager to console viewers on Tuesday after Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to botch what would be her first governing decision by selecting Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as her running mate, surprising observers. The frontrunner had been Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D), a moderate governor from a swing state. Expectations had been set when the Harris campaign set the rollout of her running mate for Tuesday evening in Philadelphia. But the party’s anti-Israel, left-wing base had made it clear that it rejected Shapiro, not only because of his pro-Israel views, but also because he is Jewish —...
