Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem (10/13/24)[Prayer]Names and Titles of God the Holy Spirit (Witness) John 1: 32-3332 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. 33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.King James Version________________________God Bless America.ML/LTOS

Iran, Hamas, and other Iran-sponsored terrorist groups have targeted Israel and the U.S. for destruction for years. But somehow, our intelligence experts never caught wind of all these meetings by Hamas for years where they planned the attack on Israel. Secret Documents Show Hamas Planned Oct. 7 for Years, Delayed Massacre As They Begged for AlliesThe New York Times reported Saturday that they had obtained minutes from secret Hamas meetings that were seized by the Israeli military, and they provide some stunning — and concerning — revelations. The intel comes from the minutes of 10 planning meetings by Hamas leaders...

Progressive filmmaker Michael Moore called on President Biden to use his remaining time in office to enact a host of liberal policies “with a simple stroke or two of your presidential pen.” “Some people are now calling you a ‘lame duck’ president — but then it occurred to me today: You’re not done,” Moore wrote. “You’ve still got 100 days left in office!” “You don’t answer to anyone,” he added. “For the first time in over 50 years, you don’t have to campaign for anything. You are the opposite of lame, Joe. And you are not a duck.” “The Supreme...

Assessment based on activism, prescriptions for puberty blockers and 'procedures' on kids.. A new database has revealed the "Dirty Dozen," the 12 "worst-offending" hospitals in America for inflicting transgender agenda injuries on children. And Mat Staver, the chief of Liberty Counsel, which has battled the leftist, and unscientific, ideology that males can be turned into females and vice versa, said, "Mutilating children for profit is criminal. It is biologically impossible to change one's gender. "The insanity of gender ideology and greed has made a mockery of the medical profession's duty to 'do no harm.' There are only two genders, and...

Incorrect arm positioning during BP measurements can overestimate readings by up to 6.5 mmHg, according to a Johns Hopkins study. The findings emphasize the need for proper arm support to ensure accurate hypertension diagnosis. Investigators suggest that not following arm support guidelines during blood pressure screening could have a substantial clinical impact. A study conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine found that common methods of positioning a patient’s arm during blood pressure (BP) screenings can significantly overestimate the readings, potentially leading to misdiagnosis of hypertension. In a report on the study, which was recently published in JAMA Internal Medicine,...

Can't believe no one has a thread going on the Starship launch. They just caught the booster in the chopsticks! Awesome! Starship is in orbit and will be doing a soft landing in the Indian Ocean in about 15 minutes.

Spacex Successfully launched and returned the booster!

Prices for generators, transformers, and other utility components are soaring. Hurricane Helene (and now Milton) will make the problem worse.. The reports about the damage caused by Hurricane Helene and the amount of water dumped on the region by the storm are gobsmacking. Last week, my friend, Jimmy Fortuna, an energy industry executive who lives in Asheville, sent me a text. He said, “Brother, I’m telling you, it’s like God’s own bulldozer went down these mountains and valleys. Maybe it did. Whole sections of town in Asheville and some whole towns in the mountains around us turned into mud flats.”...

Meteorologists say they’ve been getting death threats for debunking wild conspiracy theories that they and the government are somehow behind the devastating hurricanes ravaging the US. “Murdering meteorologists won’t stop hurricanes,” Katie Nickolaou, a Michigan-based meteorologist, wrote on X earlier this week alongside a screenshot of one threat she’d received. “I can’t believe I just had to type that.” The post aimed at Nickolaou, who works at the WLNS TV station, had called for others to “stop the breathing of those that made them and their affiliates.” Meanwhile, Washington, DC-based meteorologist Matthew Cappucci said he has received hundreds of messages...

We were warned by the late, great historian of Islam, Bernard Lewis. For the Islamic Republic, mutual assured destruction is less a deterrent than “an inducement.” The Iranian theocracy will gladly sleep with virgins for eternity in exchange for Israel’s destruction, from the river to the sea, as the filthy ditty goes. But not until Obama did the wish become an imminent reality. October 7 is meaningless without a look back at how we got here. From the overthrow of the Shah in 1979 onward, it was grasped by all, Democrats and Republicans, that the Iranian mantra of Death to...

Republican Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance opened up about converting to Catholicism in 2019 Saturday — and revealed he “feels bad” for dragging his Hindu wife to Mass every Sunday. She “didn’t sign up to marry a weekly churchgoer” but she’s “more than OK with it,” the Ohio senator said of wife, Usha, during an oft-contentious interview with the New York Times. The “Hillbilly Elegy” author said he started asking himself “big questions” around 2017 to 2019 when he became a father and had achieved career and financial success but found the “values of meritocracy … deeply lacking.” “And when...

Perhaps there’s a reason that, despite its myriad bloody attacks directly against America, Iran keeps going and going. One of the things that our intel agencies do to push lies into the public is to use the magic word “earmarks.” For example, the infamous 51 spies who lied about Hunter’s laptop—even though the FBI and the CIA knew it was real—used the weasel phrase that the laptop had “the classic earmarks” of a Russian operation. That was a lie. But here’s an “earmark” sentence that may be true: Iran has all the earmarks of a USA-intel client state. Much like...

Former President Donald Trump is gaining in swing-state polls — and you can bet one group is secretly pleased: New York’s elected officials. The city’s Democrats use big, bad Trump as a cartoon foil to district the public from their own failures. Last week, Trump announced a campaign rally at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 27, two weekends before Election Day. State Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal, whose Manhattan district includes MSG, immediately lodged a complaint via Trump supporter Elon Musk’s X. “Allowing Trump to hold an event at MSG is equivalent to the infamous Nazis rally at Madison Square Garden on...

I’m so old I remember when we learned about advertising fakery by ordering stuff like sea horses and x-ray vision glasses from the back of comic books. Younger generations caught on when they compared what they’d seen in the TV ads with the actual products. For voters this time around all they have to do is scan X online. The sea horse ads were better fakes than the Harris-Walz team is churning out. Of course, there is the candidates’ utter failure in public appearances -- such as they are -- to show Harris-Walz viewers that they are phony, unserious contenders...

On the Saturday edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Michael Steele -- a former RNC chairman turned member of the disgraced Lincoln Project -- took the occasion of Kamala Harris's release of health records to mock Donald Trump. Steele slammed Trump for not releasing medical records, saying he has doctors lie about his weight when he's fat like "Wally the Walrus." He added: "The man is old as dirt. He's the oldest man to ever run for president."We certainly hope that Steele, who turns 66 one week from today, is not experiencing any short-term memory loss. He apparently forgot that...

Alex Salmond has died at the age of 69. Love or loathe Mr Salmond - who was described as a "Marmite man" during his high-profile court case - few would dispute his skill and achievements as a politician. Under the leadership of the keen golfer and horse racing fan, the SNP rose to power and became a titan party north of the border. Some would argue if it were not for the political talent of Mr Salmond, there would have been no Scottish independence referendum at all in 2014. As the tributes flood in following his death, we take a...
