NEW-ORLEANS, Aug. 24. By the surrender of Fort Morgan we have about six hundred prisoners, sixty pieces of artillery, and a large quantity of material. In the twelve hours preceding the surrender, about 3,000 shell were thrown into the fort. The citadel and barracks are entirely destroyed, and the works generally much injured. Many of the guns were spiked, the carriages burned, and much of the ammunition destroyed by the rebels. The losses in the army were one man killed and seven wounded, (Signed.) WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 -- 10:50 A.M. To Maj.-Gen. John A. Dix, Commanding: This department...

The last ten weeks have been tumultuous for the American people, starting with the first presidential debate between Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden on June 27. The outcome was so one-sided that Democrats immediately pressured Biden to withdraw from the race. On July 13, there was an assassination attempt against President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. The lax security by the Secret Service led to investigations and a shakeup in leadership at the troubled agency.

Israel is facing a general strike on Monday as the national labor union federation, the Histadrut, called on workers to stay home and to protest in favor of a hostage deal following Hamas’s cold-blooded murder of six hostages last week. The union has said that the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must immediately reach a deal to return the remaining 100 or so hostages, one-third of whom are thought to be dead. But Netanyahu cannot force a deal: he must deal with Hamas, at least indirectly, which has rejected every deal thus far, including those that have basically...

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem (9/2/24)[Prayer]Names and Titles of God the Holy Spirit (Good News Bringer) Isaiah 61:1-3 (Also Luke4:18-19)61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion,...

Four people were killed and two others injured in a shooting at a home stemming from a dispute between neighbors on Saturday night in Hawaii, police said. An argument between neighbors led to a bloody shooting that left four dead and two others critically injured this weekend in Hawaii, police said. Witnesses reported that a man was using a front-end loader to ram cars into the home where a family gathering was happening, before the man opened fire at people gathered in the carport, fatally shooting three women at the residence in Wainanae, a community about 30 miles (48 kilometers)...

Short Rumble video explanation by Lara Logan on why Globalists are so fixated on Christ's youngest creation.

Q. What do you call Hamas murdering six hostages, including an American? A. A political "headache" for Biden-Harris. That's according to CNN regular Toluse Olorunnipa, also the Washington Post's chief White House correspondent. Olorunnipa won a Pulitzer Prize as co-author of His Name is George Floyd: One Man’s Life and the Struggle for Racial Justice. Olorunnipa also fretted that the continuing murder of American hostages would make it harder for Harris to claim the mantle of Commander-in-Chief. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Governments relish playing parent. But the ‘children’ are waking up. Negotiation is the art of getting an opponent to advocate for your position. You want one thousand dollars for an old car. You ask for two. The buyer works you down to one, and you shake on the “deal.” Parents employ similar skills. A toddler who is unhappy about being put in the stroller might be given a choice: we can either go to the park or take a nap. Cries often disappear when the alternative to play is less fun. Of course, children quickly learn this game, too. Some...

GO VOTE! Here in MA, I'm voting for Bob Antonellis for US Senate.

Do you live in a swing state? If so, the Voter Participation Center, a "non-partisan" charity, is spending big on Facebook ads to ensure you have the information you need to cast a ballot in the upcoming election. That is unless you like NASCAR, golf, Jeeps, or other interests and hobbies typically associated with Republican men. In that case, the Voter Participation Center does not want to share information that might help you make it to the polls in November. The Voter Participation Center is a self-described "non-partisan" charity that claims to have helped more than six million people register...

https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel/38552 A mass massacre happened in Burkina Faso by a jihadist group known as JNIM, which is linked to Al Qaeda. The news indicates that this group killed more than 400 civilians who were digging trenches, and the civilian victims had no choice but to lie on top of each other to protect themselves. Some women who were collecting firewood were also reportedly shot by members of the group. Don’t worry you won’t hear about it anywhere! No Jews - No News!

“There is one body and one Spirit just as also you were called in one hope of your calling” (Ephesians 4:4). Although there were distinctions of ministry, one and the same Holy Spirit has been at work in both the Old and New Covenants. The famous radio broadcast of October 30, 1938, in which Orson Welles and his fellow actors fooled many of the American people into thinking an actual invasion from Mars was occurring, is a classic example of how miscommunication can drastically distort people’s understanding of the facts. Because many listeners failed to hear the disclaimer about the...

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau received a cold reception after he brought donuts to a group of construction workers in an attempt to frame the media narrative of him being a "man of the people."

Harris is not so much a flip-flopper as a padder, who supports anything, without any worry about framing each new position by renouncing her original and opposite one. An Opportunistic MediocrityIn theory, it should be hard for Kamala Harris to win the presidency of the United States. Under pressure, Harris just completed her first “live interview”—a disastrous performance that was mysteriously taped, edited, and emotionally supported by her co-interviewed running mate. During the interview, she claimed that her values remain the same even though her manifestations of them have admittedly changed. Translated, that means for the next 70 days, she...

Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) could pursue the widow of British tech tycoon Mike Lynch for up to £3billion after his death in the Bayesian superyacht disaster. The US firm won a multi-billion-pound UK High Court claim against Dr Lynch in 2022, accusing him of fraud over its £8billion purchase of his company Autonomy in 2011. His death on August 19, when his £30million vessel sank during a freak storm off the coast of Sicily, means his family could be liable for any payout decided by the judge. And HPE is now expected to continue its case against his widow Angela Bacares...

RFK Jr: “My uncle spent the 1,000 days of his administration battling his military apparatus and intelligence agencies to keep the country out of war” “On October 22, 1963 … he signed National Security Order 263 ordering all military personnel home from Vietnam. 30 days after that, he was killed. And a week after that, LBJ, his successor, remanded that order and sent 250,000 troops in, then Nixon came in and sent 560,000.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has been found guilty of puffing up his military record to look more manly – also known as stolen valor. Now it looks as though Kamala Harris has committed her own version of stolen valor by claiming a working-class medal that she may never have earned. Harris and her campaign have been bragging about her modest roots and her supposed connection to working-class folks, exemplified by her having toiled at McDonald’s while in college, a claim she repeatedly makes in her speeches and that came up countless times at the Democratic National Convention. But, like so...

Chris Hayes called the Electoral College “a wildly dangerous institution that undermines democracy' MSNBC host Chris Hayes fumed over new poll results showing former President Trump as the favorite to win the Electoral College and therefore the presidency in November. On his X account Friday, the "All in With Chris Hayes" anchor blasted recent poll results from famed pollster Nate Silver showing that Harris would most likely beat Trump in the national popular vote if the election were held today, though Trump would win the Electoral College. "It’s clear as day the Electoral College is, to quote the great Justice...
