North Korea has confirmed that dictator Kim Jong Un “gave the order” to bail out Vladimir Putin by sending North Korean troops to fight in Putin’s “holy war” against Ukraine. The troop deal was confirmed at a meeting between North Korean foreign minister Choe Son Hui and the Kremlin’s top diplomat Sergei Lavrov in Moscow. More than 10,000 North Korean troops are reported to be deployed to Russia, with some already in the area of operations. The Pyongyang envoy said: “From the very beginning of the special military operation, respected comrade Chairman of State Affairs Kim Jong Un gave the...

R&B legend Smokey Robinson dissed women and minorities who are voting for former President Donald Trump in a video in which he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. “Wake up,” the singer proclaimed. “I really don’t understand how any person of color or any woman could find it in their hearts to vote for Donald Trump,” Robinson declared in a video posted to his social media on Thursday. “I’ve never felt the need to campaign publicly until now,” the “The Tears Of A Clown” singer said. “This is the most important election of my lifetime, and as far as I’m concerned,...

YORK COUNTY, Pa. (WHP) — Officials in York County say it's their understanding that a group based out of Arizona is responsible for the bulk delivery of voter registration applications, including some that were denied and are being reviewed by the District Attorney's Office. County officials said Friday it's their understanding Field+Media Corps is responsible for delivering more than 3,000 voter registration applications to the county. According to a Google listing for the company, it is a "full service consulting that can plan and manage our campaign." When CBS 21 tried to go to the company's website we got an...

Presbyterian minister, Reverend Jennifer Butler, has been named National Faith Engagement Director for the Harris/Walz presidential campaign. Her job will be get-out-the-vote efforts to “churchgoers” in battleground states. She specifically mentions targeting Catholic voters in Michigan and Wisconsin, and Mormons in Arizona. Butler’s worldview contrasts starkly with a biblical worldview. Will her efforts make a difference in the presidential election? We’ll see. Here are 5 things to know about Jennifer Butler. 1. She is a longtime liberal, progressive activist. In 2005, Rev. Butler founded the advocacy group, Faith in Public Life, whose mission is to advance the “moral imperative for...

Donald Trump's got a lady problem: Most women are siding with Kamala Harris. And in the final days of this impossibly close race, even as the former president takes a slight lead in the national polls for the first time ever, you'd think he'd shift his pitch to the chicks with the yips. Nope. At a rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday, your friendly neighborhood garbage-man wearing a bright orange reflective vest said: 'Whether the women like it or not, I am going to protect them.' Geez, Donald. Can you soften it a smidge? Rather than shoring up the shaky female...

Church leaders who fail to take action against paedophile priests are a “further source of evil” for victims of sexual abuse and should be removed from their posts, the Vatican’s child protection commission has said.

The CRCNA (Christian Reformed Church in North America) is a historically conservative denomination in the process of being eaten alive by famished and bad-faith progressives, and they are barely fighting back. Like a wildebeest that quietly lets lions tear chunks out of its hindquarters with half-hearted resistance, so too has the CRCNA been being attacked and put upon by LGBTQ-loving liberals, slowly being drained of the lifeblood of Christ. We saw this defeatism most evidently in 2022, when their flagship school, Calvin University, made a devil’s deal with gay-affirming staff and professors. The school’s board of trustees voted to allow...

Jennings’ harshest critics believe that Trump doesn’t merit a defense and are angry that CNN even provides a regular platform for one. “He is completely MAGA and … a really duplicitous person,” said Norm Ornstein, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute who has urged CNN to fire Jennings. “I think it’s a bad model, and I think he represents the worst of it.”

A Wisconsin man was sentenced to 7 1/2 years in federal prison in April for attempting to damage a building occupied by a pro-life organization on May 8, 2022, because he was upset that Roe v. Wade might be overturned. Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury pled guilty in December 2023 to firebombing the office of CompassCare in Madison, Wisconsin, just days after the draft Supreme Court decision of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization was leaked to the press. At about six in the morning on May 8, police responded to a call about a fire in the office building. Inside a...

Republicans in Pennsylvania are seeing a higher percentage of low-propensity voters turn out and vote than Democrats are, Rob Bresnahan, Republican candidate for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District, said during an interview on Breitbart News Daily. Bresnahan said the GOP currently has about 17 percent participation from low-propensity voters in the state — people who did not vote in 2020 and/or 2022 — compared to the Democrats, who are seeing 11 percent participation from that same group. The congressional hopeful said the trends are good, and described the energy on the ground as “shocking.” “The response that we’ve had...

An opinion piece by a retired neonatologist recently published in The Denver Post highlights some of the dangers of the extreme pro-abortion amendment the state’s voters will see on the ballot next week. In the piece, Dr. Elizabeth H. Thilo warns that Amendment 79 would allow abortion all the way up to birth, even though infants born in the late second and third trimesters are capable of surviving outside the womb — a dichotomy she invites readers to consider. “There is no question in my mind, or in the medical literature, that premature infants who are 23 weeks or 24...

The two Kansas mothers allegedly killed by members of the anti-government religious sect “God’s Misfits” were brutally stabbed to death before they were buried in a freezer, officials have now revealed. Investigators had only previously said that Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39, were murdered in an “absolutely brutal crime” tied to a custody battle, without detailing an exact cause of death. But preliminary autopsy reports list both women’s causes of death as being from “multiple sharp force trauma,” People magazine reported Friday. The full medical report will be released on Nov. 15.

'In full disclosure, after several minutes of attempting to recreate the scenario, it did occur. This was accomplished by hitting some area in between the boxes...' (Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) In a remarkable electoral coincidence in the state of Kentucky, a computer glitch switched voters’ Trump votes to Harris votes, Zero Hedge reported. The incident occurred in Laurel County, Kentucky and was noticed earlier this week. According to Laurel County residents, clicking the button to vote for Trump on occasion triggered a vote for Harris instead.

Secretary of State Jena Griswold refuses to take responsibility for any of the numerous mishaps in her office including the posting of critical voter system passwords that remained online for months. However, the civil servant served up by Griswold as the scapegoat she says is responsible for the leak no longer works in that office. No, the buck does not stop with Griswold for the black eye on Colorado’s alleged golden election system. She’s also blaming the Democrat-controlled state legislature for refusing to give her all the taxpayer dollars she demanded for personal security budget increases. That won’t serve her...

More than 500 employees from Amazon’s cloud-computing division have asked the company to reconsider its five-day in-office mandate set to take effect in January. The new policy requires workers to be in the office five days a week, an increase from the current three-day-a-week mandate that has been in place since May 2023. Amazon workers protested the initial three-day-a-week mandate as well, but Amazon did not change course. About 15 months later, it increased the requirement for in-office work in an effort to return to pre-pandemic norms. The employee letter is in response to comments from Garman at a recent...

Former Governor Chris Christie returned to The View, offering sharp criticism of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and ridiculing his brain worm. "RFK Jr. doesn't know a third of what he thinks he knows, and the third that he does know is usually not right," Christie said. "Well he has that brain worm," Joy Behar said. And Christie quipped back, "His brain worm would get its own protective detail."

DENVER — The Trump-Vance campaign has sent a letter to Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold demanding that the processing of many mail-in ballots in the state be temporarily halted. The letter, posted on Donald Trump’s campaign website, cited the recent incident where partial passwords connected to the state’s voting systems were posted on the Secretary of State’s website. “This disclosure directly violates the law and undermines the integrity of our elections,” the demand on the Trump campaign website said. The letter demanded that Griswold’s office immediately identify the counties that were affected and order a new trusted build. This...

CV NEWS FEED // A man claiming to be a woman has sued a Christian university for firing him over what it deemed to be contrary to biblical teaching on sex and gender, according to ACLU Virgnia. Liberty University is currently embroiled in a legal dispute involving former employee Jonathan (Ellenor) Zinski, a man identifying as a “transgender” woman, alleging wrongful termination based on gender identity. As documented in the lawsuit, Zinski, who was hired as an information services apprentice at the school’s IT helpdesk, informed the university in mid-2023 that he now identified as a woman, despite being hired...
