The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) is facing scrutiny from Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives over its promotion of data which falsely claims that so-called “global warming” is real. As the Daily Caller reports, a letter was sent to NOAA Administration Richard Spinrad on Wednesday by members of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. The letter demanded information from the agency on its “billion dollar disasters” (BDD) dataset, which has been frequently cited by the Biden-Harris administration as evidence that all future natural gas deals and other similar ventures must be halted due to fear...

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that he wants Vice President Kamala Harris to win the U.S. presidential election in November — not former President Trump.

A sentencing date has been set for man accused of slaughtering more than 3,600 birds, including more than 118 protected eagles, during a years-long wildlife trafficking ring out West, new court documents show. Travis John Branson, 48, pleaded guilty in March to charges including conspiracy, wildlife trafficking and trafficking bald and golden eagles, in federal court in Montana. According to a sentencing memorandum filed Tuesday, Branson and his “crew” killed eagles and then sold them across the country for profit on the black market. “It was not uncommon for Branson to take upwards of nine eagles at a time,” prosecutors...

In a troubling development, Georgia authorities have made public audio recordings from a 2023 visit to the home of Colt Gray, the 14-year-old accused of committing a tragic shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, which resulted in the deaths of four individuals. This visit was prompted by an anonymous tip to the FBI regarding threats made in a Discord group chat, where Gray allegedly expressed intentions to “shoot up a middle school.” On May 21, 2023, Jackson County sheriff’s officers conducted a face-to-face interview with Gray, who was just 13 years old at the time. The officers detailed their...

I appreciate the many secular, even atheistic and non-Christian voices that have pushed back against radical trans-activism. They have spoken loudly and clearly and boldly and fearlessly. Good for them! But if America is to be changed in a lasting, positive way, we cannot only push back against what is wrong. We must also present what is right, namely, that human beings are created in the image of God, thereby endowed with morality and purpose and significance, and that He created us male and female. That’s why those of us with a biblically based faith must lead the way.

(LifeSiteNews) — A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit has reversed a judge who blocked Florida’s law banning “gender transition” procedures on minors, allowing it to be enforced while the legal battle over its constitutionality proceeds. In June, Democrat-appointed U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle struck down SB 254, Florida’s ban on transgender drugs and surgeries for minors enacted in 2023, declaring it an “unconstitutional” prohibition of “proper treatment” for gender-confused minors. The office of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis quickly denounced the ruling and confirmed it would appeal. Days later, DeSantis doubled down that “it’s...

A study led by The University of Texas at Austin has identified SC27, an antibody capable of neutralizing all known variants of the COVID-19 virus, opening prospects for universal vaccine development and improved treatments amid ongoing viral evolution. Researchers have identified an antibody capable of neutralizing all known strains of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, and several other SARS-like coronaviruses found in different animals. As part of a new study on hybrid immunity to the virus, the large, multi-institution research team led by The University of Texas at Austin discovered and isolated a broadly neutralizing plasma antibody, called SC27,...

Dramatic video footage captures the moment a flesh-melting Ukrainian drone sets ablaze a tree line hiding Russian military positions. The UAV approaches the trees before spewing out a wall of molten thermite that scorches the ground below it. The drone leaves a trail of fire behind as it disappears into the night sky after its devastating attack. The video was posted to social media by Ukraine's 60th Mechanised Brigade. “Strike Drones are our wings of vengeance, bringing fire straight from the sky!” the brigade wrote on its Facebook page.

QUANTICO, VA — Following yet another violent tragedy that took innocent young lives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation assured the public that the next ten mass shooters were also on their radar. Citizens expressed confusion after the FBI admitted that the latest shooter was someone the agency was aware of. Still, an FBI spokesman promised the American people that not only was this shooter on the bureau's radar, but the next ten perpetrators of mass casualty were as well. "The public can rest easy knowing that we're fully aware of the next several shooters," said FBI Special Agent Owen Gaffney....

The poll is significant because the economy is the “most important issue” to voters, as they weigh casting their ballot, the polling found. The economy outranked other issues as most important by 20 to 30 points across all major swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Whether speaking in 2019 or today, Kamala’s on record wanting to have the government determine what Americans may or may not say. As a modern tyrant attains power, he won’t just push back against opposing ideas; he’ll say they shouldn’t be voiced at all. Once he holds some power, he’ll work with friends in the government, the media, and corporations to silence opposing ideas. Finally, once he gains complete power, as his ideas invariably fail when put into practice, he must use the government’s police power to silence those who challenge him lest he be toppled. That trajectory is why...

“For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:13). The unity of the church is the best proof that the Holy Spirit has come. Many people today look for some kind of evidence of reality—science and technology, New Age thought, Eastern religions, various brands of experience-oriented Christianity, or “seeker friendly” mega-church enterprises. But as I have said and written countless times before, Scripture alone points us toward a genuine, secure spiritual reality. The fulfilled promise of the...

What does “full communist” even mean to generations of young people who have no idea what communism has wrought in the world? Kamala Harris has “vowed to lower prices at the grocery store with price controls and open up the increasingly out-of-reach housing market with tax subsidies for homebuyers.” Harris asserts that she “will work to pass the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food. Her plan will include new penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the rules.” As a result, Donald Trump said that Harris has gone “full communist.” But what does “full communist” even...

America is under attack from within, and most of the public is either unaware or unwilling to confront this growing danger. We are not just facing an ideological war—this is a coordinated, well-funded effort to dismantle American values, destroy our Constitution, and replace it with an Islamic regime. At the forefront of this movement is the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Hamas-linked organization whose leader, Nihad Awad, has made no secret of his desire to see America fall.

The unnamed Tennessee-based company that the Justice Department alleges was being funded by Russian operatives working as part of a Kremlin-orchestrated influence operation targeting the 2024 US election is Tenet Media, which is linked to right-wing commentators with millions of subscribers on YouTube and other social media platforms, according to a US official briefed on the matter. The indictment unsealed in New York’s Southern District accused two employees of RT, the Kremlin’s media arm, of funneling nearly $10 million to an unidentified company, described only as “Company 1” in court documents. CNN has independently confirmed that “Company 1” is Tenet...

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem (9/6/24)[Prayer]Names and Titles of God the Holy Spirit (Prophet) Isaiah 61:1-3 (Also Luke 4:18-19)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, to...

Having unwisely invited into Germany Muslims who have no interest in assimilating, the German government is now paying the worst of them to go away. Last week, the German government, led by social democrat Olaf Scholz, deported 28 convicted criminals to Kabul. Among them was a rejected asylum-seeker who took part in the brutal and cunning gang rape of a 14-year-old girl. According to the German mainstream media, each of the deported criminals, including the gang rapist, was given 1000 Euros in cash to help start a new life back home in Afghanistan. This is civilizational decline in action. It’s...

Europe may soon find itself in a tight spot. By the end of January 2025, the continent’s most important partner, the United States, could be led by former President Donald Trump, who has said that he would encourage Russia to do “whatever the hell it wanted” to European countries that did not do what he wanted: spend more on defense. The previous Trump administration strained the transatlantic relationship, and the next iteration would almost certainly be worse. Freed from the influence of the traditional Atlanticist Republicans who staffed his cabinet in his first term, a second-term Trump would face fewer...
