~The latest stabbing of an English girl - eleven years old - is being reported mostly because the heroic figure on hand who stepped in to disarm the "knifeman" (a recent coinage but now routine in Fleet Street) was a plucky Muslim fellow called Abdullah. Good for him - even if the not-so-subtle sub-text of the reports was: You get it yet, you lousy Islamophobes? We need immigrants to come here to do the jobs Britons won't do - like saving the little girl from being stabbed by some of the other immigrants we let in. You'd better hope there's...

Former President Donald J. Trump has returned to X (formerly Twitter) with a string of posts made just after noon on Monday. The 2024 Republican presidential nominee had largely been absent from the social platform since the then-sitting President’s account was suspended on January 8, 2021, by the company’s former ownership under Jack Dorsey.Since his suspension over three years ago, the former Republican President founded his own social media company, Truth Social, which went public earlier this year—earning Trump billions. Over the past two years, an exclusivity agreement with Truth Social had largely kept Trump from other social media platforms....

Almost 60 years ago this author gave his life to Jesus Christ, following that decision I entered the ministry. After a prophetic calling came, I then proceeded to address the American people on digital media. From a few hundred a week, to tens of thousands each month, the prophetic website I edit, has responded to the call to warn my beloved nation. Several hundred times God showed me future events in my life and the lives of those around me – not one vision was ever wrong. I could never understand why God would spend so much time showing me...

The Harris-Walz campaign has appointed Ilan Goldenberg as Director of Jewish Outreach and Policy Advisor. Goldenberg will act as the campaign’s primary connection to the American Jewish community. A Harris campaign aide told JTA the appointment had been made against the background of pressure from progressive groups regarding her stance on the Gaza war and US military assistance to Israel, and Republicans using Democratic positions on Israel as a political tool. The aide praised Goldenberg’s extensive experience, describing him as a foreign policy expert with comprehensive knowledge of US-Israel relations, security cooperation, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and Iran. His background includes...

He called on Western pilots to come and “fight for freedom” in Ukraine until Kiev can train its own airmen. American-made F-16 fighters have started to arrive in Ukraine, but there are currently not enough pilots to fly them.During a press conference in Kiev on Monday, Graham said: “If you’re a retired F-16 pilot and you’re looking to fight for freedom, they will hire you here““They’re going to look throughout NATO nations for willing fighter pilots who retired to come help them, until they can get their pilots trained.”The warmonger then added: “We’re going to get these jets into the...

As my colleague Bonchie reported, Axios reporter Sara Fischer appeared on CNN to complain about former President and GOP nominee Donald Trump having an unfettered microphone with Elon Musk on X. The Monday night conversation hails Trump's return to the X (formerly Twitter) platform where he was unceremoniously booted almost four years before, and it has the entire legacy media complex shook. (Snip) My Twitchy colleague PolitiBunny is quite correct. They despise the fact that they are on the outside looking in. You can hear the sarcasm dripping from Fischer's voice when she says, "Online fringe." This online fringe she...

Former U.S. President and current Republican nominee for 2024 Donald Trump is having to deal with another crisis today, this time in Virginia. The campaign announced that its office in Ashburn, Virginia was burglarized, and the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office is investigating the crime. Deputies said they arrived on the scene at 9 p.m. and a man was caught on camera wearing dark clothing, a dark cap and a backpack. The name and age of the suspect has not been released so far. “It is rare to have the office of any political campaign or party broken into,” Sheriff Mike...

“‘Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven’” (Matthew 6:20). The believer is to be generous in his giving. The early church was not interested in accumulating great wealth for itself. In Acts 2, for example, thousands of pilgrims gathered in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost. When Peter preached the gospel on that day, 3,000 persons became believers, and soon afterward thousands more were added to the church. The pilgrims who became believers didn’t want to return to their former homes since they were now part of the church. So the believers in Jerusalem had to absorb them. Since many...

That conduct, as alleged by Plaintiff-Appellee Basel Soukaneh, is that in the course of a routine traffic stop, Andrzejewski unlawfully and violently handcuffed and detained Soukaneh in the back of a police vehicle for over half an hour and conducted a warrantless search of Soukaneh’s vehicle after Soukaneh presented a facially valid firearms permit and disclosed that he possessed a firearm pursuant to the permit. On appeal, Andrzejewski argues we should reverse the district court’s denial of qualified immunity because the presence of the lawfully owned firearm in the vehicle gave him the requisite probable cause to detain Soukaneh, search...

A European Union commissioner sent a letter to billionaire Elon Musk Monday, warning him that he must comply with EU law ahead of his interview with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on his social media platform X, or face legal consequences. The interview, scheduled for 8:00 PM Eastern Time, will be accessible to the EU’s 100 million users. Because of this, EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton told Musk, “I am compelled to remind you of the due diligence obligations set out in the Digital Services Act (DSA).” “This notably means ensuring, on one hand, that freedom of expression and...

Just curious FReeper poll…. Are you Pre-Trib? Post-Trib? Pre-Mil? Ah-Mil? Post-Mil? If you don’t understand the question you may not have studied eschatology at all. No “wrong answers” or debate just polling.

You no doubt have conservative friends who strongly dislike Donald Trump. They can’t tolerate his take-no-prisoners rhetoric. His personality rubs them the wrong way -- he’s abrasive, crude, and in their opinion, obnoxious. Their attitude reveals a form of narrow-mindedness known as tunnel vision. These conservative NeverTrumpers, when asked, typically admit that they like his policies -- securing the border, smaller government, lower taxes, and deregulation, to name a few. They say they could never vote for him, though. They apparently want a perfect candidate, but no such animal exists and they know it. They seem stuck on making the...

Los Angeles lawman William Hammel tamed one of the West’s wildest towns with hard work and Horseless CarriagesPolice Chief Hammel, courtesy J.R. Sanders Los Angeles, California. Not everyone’s picture of a wild-and-woolly Western town—even though Wyatt Earp, who spent his last years there, claimed Tombstone in its heyday “wasn’t half as bad as Los Angeles.” Policing the City of Angels, and the 4,000-square-mile county of coastline, desert and mountains encompassing it, took a special breed of lawmen. Men like Billy Hammel. Native Angeleno William Augustus Hammel was born March 13, 1865. The son of a doctor and educated at Santa...

...Obama is suggesting he’s been having a “brat” summer, recommending songs from Charli XCX, Shaboozey and Billie Eilish as part of an annual list of favorite tunes. “With summer winding down, I wanted to share some songs that I’ve been listening to lately,” the 44th president said in a Monday social media post.

American comedian Reginald D. Hunter made an anti-Israel comment during a stand-up show in Edinburgh, UK, sparking a show of anti-Israel sentiment from the audience and animosity towards an Israeli couple who held front-row tickets, The Telegraph's Dominic Cavendish reported. At the Sunday night performance, Hunter compared a scene in a documentary about an abusive wife claiming her husband was abusive to Israel's self-defense in its war against Hamas in Gaza. Commenting on the documentary scene, Hunter said, "My God, it’s like being married to Israel." Some in the audience laughed at the remark, but a couple in the front...
