A North Dakota Target is facing backlash for firing a woman who wrote 'Trust in Jesus' on her name tag. Denise Kendrick, an employee of the store in Fargo, said she was fired on November 16 over a dress code issue. She put 'Trust in Jesus' and a drawing of a cross on her name tag for that shift, but was approached by a manager who told her she could not wear it, according to KVLY. 'I replied, "Well, I've seen people with rainbows on theirs. I'm going to continue to wear this name tag," and then they said, "Well,...

Planned Parenthood has been providing “viable nonanomalous” babies killed in “elective abortions” to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) for experimentation, according to a new report. Published by The Center for Medical Progress (CMP), the emails detail a “Research Plan” that documents the harvesting of babies for experimentation on their bodies. The plan was submitted to and approved by UCSD’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) in 2018. The heavily redacted communications were obtained by the group via open records request. According to the records reported by CMP, researchers unveiled plans in their submission to “collect tissues from fetuses ranging from...

The leftists in American media are trying to “Kavanaugh” Pete Hegseth, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to be Secretary of Defense.

Dear President Trump: Please, please, oh pretty please--pull America out of the United Nations. Tell them to take their hypocrisy, incompetence, corruption, and Jew-hatred, to the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland or to the golden deserts of Qatar. Maybe they can house their headquarters more appropriately in Afghanistan or Pakistan. Let the anti-Western, anti-Israel, and anti-democracy tyrannies pay their own way. Perhaps Europe can either increase their funding for the UN--or pull out as well. I can think of many better uses for the 17-18 acres in the luxe Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan, right on the East River,...

Explanation: In an interplanetary first, on July 19, 2013 Earth was photographed on the same day from two other worlds of the Solar System, innermost planet Mercury and ringed gas giant Saturn.

Do black faculty members face discrimination in promotion and tenure? One might think this a simple question with an objective answer. The answer could be, “Yes. Black faculty members face invidious racial discrimination.” Or it might be, “Yes. Black faculty members are beneficiaries of lower standards based on favorable racial discrimination.” Or, yet again, it could be, “Both kinds of discrimination occur, sometimes in the same institution, and both can be hard to document.” Then again still, the answer might be, “Racial discrimination in faculty promotion and tenure is rare and exceptional.” This is a topic on which I have...

The Vice Chairman of Russia's Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, who had previously repeatedly threatened the West with nuclear weapons, has unexpectedly changed his rhetoric. "We would not want something like this to ever happen. There are no madmen in the Russian leadership," he stated. Medvedev emphasised that Moscow views the use of nuclear weapons only as a "last resort" and stated that the threshold for their use has been verified considering "existing risks". -snip- Since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Medvedev has become one of the main spokespeople for the Kremlin's aggressive rhetoric, repeatedly threatening the...

Sen. Marco Rubio will succeed Antony Blinken as secretary of State. Rubio has spent most of his political career promoting neoconservative orthodoxy and advocating U.S. military interventions abroad. Until his supposed MAGA conversion two years ago he had never seen a war he did not like and praised George W. Bush’s Iraq disaster as late as 2016... Rubio reportedly was close to the late billionaire Sheldon Adelson and other big neocon donors, and has supported illegal settlement building in the West Bank as well as suggesting that the U.S. may have to go to war with Iran over its nuclear...

I sat down with historian, sociologist, and author Dr. Rainer Zitelmann to learn about the misunderstood economic philosophy of Adolf Hitler and the true meaning of national socialism. Drawing from his book “Hitler’s National Socialism,” Rainer explains how Hitler’s economic policies blended the planned economy of Stalin’s Soviet Union with social Darwinist beliefs, attempting to harness the benefits of competition toward the single-minded objectives of the state. We explore the key differences between national socialism, fascism, and communism, and why many people today fail to grasp the lessons of 20th-century totalitarian regimes. While the battle between capitalism and socialism continues,...

While Americans were experiencing a data dump of Trump appointments on Friday evening, some good and some not so good, Montreal devolved into chaos. Pro-Hamas rioters tore through the city, smashing windows, setting cars on fire, and burning Jews in effigy. The violence reportedly started at 6:00 PM local time. What set the lunatics off this time wasn't immediately apparent. Still, many speculated that Canadian PM Justin Trudeau's recent pledge to arrest Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu was a factor in emboldening the rioters.Visegrád 24 @visegrad24 · Follow Anti-Israel rioters were torching cars in Montreal tonight to “Free Palestine”The violence started...

Eggplant The food that is richest in nicotine concentration is eggplant. Eggplant contains a nicotine concentration of 100 ng/g. This vegetable is also a very good dietary source of fiber, vitamin B1, vitamin B6 and potassium. According to "The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods" by Michael T. Murray, the health benefits of eggplant consumption are directly linked to the presence of a strong antioxidant called nasunin 35. Nasunin protects the body against free radical damage, helps rid the body of excess iron and helps lower cholesterol levels.

The Australia-born beauty, 60, made the bombshell claim in her new memoir, “Elle: Life, Lessons and Learning to Trust Yourself.” The couple, who tied the knot in 2013, were still married at the time that the model was diagnosed in 2017.

President-elect Donald Trump is considering tapping Richard Grenell, his former intelligence chief, to be a special envoy for the Russia-Ukraine conflict, according to four sources familiar with the transition plans. Grenell, who served as Trump's ambassador to Germany and was acting director of national intelligence during Trump's 2017-2021 term, would play a key role in Trump's efforts to halt the war if he is ultimately selected for the post. While there is currently no special envoy dedicated solely to resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Trump is considering creating the role, according to the four sources, who requested anonymity to discuss internal...

There are thousands of migrant criminals roaming the streets of Gotham, the head of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s NYC field office told The Post. “In New York City, it would take a lifetime to clear the city of the criminals that we have” if the status quo remains the same, Kenneth Genalo said Friday in his first interview since Donald Trump was elected president. “We need additional resources,” insisted the 33-year ICE veteran who oversees nearly 400 staffers as regional director of the NYC-area office. Genalo said immigration-law enforcement in NYC was all but thrown out the window when...
