Deep State psychopaths have no qualms about destroying the world. How do we know that Washington, D.C. is the nerve center of a global empire and not the seat of a federal government with limited powers over the individual states and their citizens? Every four years, people around the world wait with trepidation to see what new calamity might strike the human race, as the masters of mass destruction work to install the right globalist sock puppet inside the White House. Economic crises and impromptu wars have a strange way of materializing during America’s election season. Twenty-twenty gave us a...

Trump smiles at question about Congress doing shrooms, teases forthcoming drug policy on podcastHe didn’t want to trip up. Former President Donald Trump chuckled slightly at the notion of Congress doing shrooms to improve its performance when asked about his thoughts on psychedelics. Podcaster Lex Fridman suggested during an interview with Trump that “we would probably have a better world if everybody in Congress took some mushrooms” when pressing for his thoughts on the matter. “So we put out a statement the other day,” Trump replied, referencing his recent Truth Social post that spoke favorably of a marijuana ballot measure...

What is Kamala Harris’s position on any important policy issue? It’s not so easy to figure out. She studiously avoids interviews and reporters’ questions. Go to Harris’s official campaign website, and it’s almost entirely about raising money, without a word about what she stands for. Back when she was in the Senate (January 2017-January 2021), and a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President in 2019-20, she made many definitive statements on various subjects (all in accord with the radical left wing of the Democratic Party). Now, it’s silence. Unidentified campaign spokespeople imply that her previous positions are no longer...

A series of delays placed a Black Hawk pilot and a former athletic trainer in the right place and time to rescue a wrecked and hurt airplane pilot from a fire outside Meeteetse, Wyoming, on Sunday. When the pilot’s plane went down, it had sparked a fire in the trees around him. Steve Atencio and J.R. Larsen were out looking for big horn sheep Sunday morning so they could fill Larsen’s hunting tag, the pair told Cowboy State Daily in a Tuesday interview. Atencio is a Black Hawk pilot for the Wyoming Army Guard in Cheyenne and has a background...

Amazon Alexa declined to get political on Trump, but touted Harris as a 'woman of color' fighting 'racial injustice'.. Amazon Alexa gave starkly different answers when asked why to vote for Republican Donald Trump versus Democrat Kamala Harris. When asked, "Why should I vote for Trump?" Alexa declined to provide such information. "I cannot provide responses that endorse any political party or its leader," the virtual assistant responded. Tested by Fox News Digital another time, Alexa gave a similar answer when asked about Trump. "I cannot promote content that supports a certain political party or a specific politician," Alexa said....

Researchers at MIT have developed a new approach for creating titanium alloys that surpass traditional trade-offs between strength and ductility. By adjusting chemical composition, lattice structure, and processing techniques, they’ve created materials with enhanced mechanical properties. This innovation could be used to produce metals with exceptional combinations of strength and ductility, for aerospace and other applications. Titanium alloys are essential structural materials for a wide variety of applications, from aerospace and energy infrastructure to biomedical equipment. But like most metals, optimizing their properties tends to involve a tradeoff between two key characteristics: strength and ductility. Stronger materials tend to be...

A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced a man to 13 months in prison on charges connected to a threat to kill a congressional staff member and more than 12,000 phone calls to dozens of congressional offices, both in Washington and home districts across the country. The defendant, Ade Salim Lilly, pleaded guilty in May to two federal counts — interstate communications with a threat to kidnap or injure, and repeated telephone calls — and plea documents said Lilly at times used vulgar and harassing language. In one incident, Lilly reportedly told a congressional staffer: “I will kill you, I am...

“‘I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth’” (John 14:16-17). Jesus ministered by the power of the Holy Spirit, and He has promised the same Spirit to all believers. The fluctuating economy of the 1990s and its changing workplace have left many workers with the sense that they’ll probably have to change jobs several times during their careers. Even though economies may enter new phases and leave people with uncertainties, God’s promises remain completely reliable. His promise, made through His Son, our Lord...

Former President Donald Trump is facing backlash for holding rallies in places described as "sundown towns." A TikTok user pointed out a "troubling pattern" in the locations of Trump's recent rallies in a video that has gone viral on social media. It was also shared on X, formerly Twitter, where it amassed millions of views. "Howell, Michigan; La Crosse, Wisconsin; Johnstown, Pennsylvania," the man said in the video. "What do these places have in common? They're all sundown towns." He added: "This is where Donald Trump is choosing to hold his rallies... You got a presidential candidate for the GOP...

Most people consider Saturn's awe-inspiring system of rings that encircle the gas giant to be the most fascinating and iconic celestial feature in our solar system..... A fast-approaching and significant cosmic event will soon dramatically alter our view of this magnificent planet. Come March 2025, Saturn's majestic rings will become virtually invisible to earth-based observers. This phenomenon occurs due to the unique tilt of Saturn's axis, which will position the rings edge-on to our line of sight.... Thankfully, this isn't a permanent change...

Christian prayer is usually an unchallenged activity in Britain, often constructed as benign or even positive. But in some contexts, prayer can be experienced as intimidating, particularly when it is deemed “out of place” or when the motives for prayer are questioned. It is perhaps no surprise, then, that praying outside of abortion clinics is considered wrong by most of the British public. In the wake of legislation – that has been passed but not yet enacted – to stop activism in the immediate vicinity of all abortion clinics in Britain, anti-abortion campaigners have reacted strongly, arguing that legislating against...

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Trial began Tuesday in Florida for four activists accused of illegally acting as Russian agents to help the Kremlin sow political discord and interfere in U.S. elections. All four are or were affiliated with the African People’s Socialist Party and Uhuru Movement, which has locations in St. Petersburg, Florida, and St. Louis... In his opening statement, Justice Department attorney Menno Goedman said the group’s members acted under Russian direction to stage protests in 2016 claiming Black people have been victims of genocide in the U.S. and took other actions for the following six years that would...

RNS) — A group of evangelical broadcasters who hosted Donald Trump at their national conference earlier this year is suing the Internal Revenue Service over the so-called Johnson Amendment, a tax law that bars nonprofits from supporting political candidates. Lawyers for the National Religious Broadcasters, along with two Baptist churches and a conservative group called Intercessors for America, argue in their suit that the ban on engaging in politics restricts their freedom of speech and freedom of religion. They further argue that the IRS ignores the politicking of some charities, while threatening to punish others. In particular, lawyers for the...

Faith Church is a non-denominational ‘word of faith’ church in St. Louis, MO. Led by pastor and pastrix duo David and Nicole Crank, they claim “18,000 members across eight campuses in Missouri, Illinois, and Florida” and have the ethos of your typical “You’re-David-and-here-are seven-life-tips-to-help-you-kill-your-Goliath-of-debt” kind of church. David Crank has a long and sordid history of being unable to preach himself out of a paper bag if his life depended on it, with a lobotomized monkey with a pen taped to its hand frequently giving him a run for his money over who can write a more coherent sermon with...
