Hal Lindsey, a best-selling author, Trusted Ministry leader, and host of “The Hal Lindsey Report,” went home to be with the Lord on November 25th at the age of 95, leaving behind a long list of individuals and ministries whose lives were changed through his labor for the Lord. Lindsey was born in 1929 and graduated from Dallas Theological Seminary at the age of 38, the same year as the Six-Day War in Israel, which resulted in the Jewish people retaking their possession of Jerusalem after nearly 2,000 years. Lindsey’s bold stand and love for Biblical Prophecy led him three...

Which countries tend to drink the most on average? According to the World Health Organisation, Austria, Ireland and Czechia are the world's biggest binge-drinkers. That term is defined as consuming more than six units or three pints of lager on one occasion over the past 30 days.

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Sunday that the militant group Hamas is feeling the pressure in the wake of the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire deal last week. “I do think that Hamas is feeling the pressure. They’re feeling the pressure because one of their main partners in crime here, Hezbollah, has now cut a ceasefire deal, and they thought that Hezbollah would be with them till the end,” Sullivan told CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

New York’s Suffolk County is putting the brakes on its red-light camera program after 14 years. It will be out of commission on Dec. 1. "I get too many tickets. Turning on red when it doesn't say no turn on red," says Ben Leibstein, of Babylon. Legislator Kevin McCaffrey says lawmakers did not renew the program beyond Dec. 1. "This program needs to be redesigned about safety, not revenue generation," says McCaffrey. As News 12 has reported, Suffolk County has about 100 red-light cameras. The tickets are about $115. The program has generated around $39 million each year for Suffolk...

CNN host Kasie Hunt was left visibly shocked after listening to incoming border czar Tom Homan say he would put Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in jail if he didn't cooperate with Donald Trump's mass deportation plan. In an appearance last Monday with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Homan said: 'Me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing; he's willing to go to jail. I'm willing to put him in jail.' Hunt played this soundbite on her show Wednesday and had a visceral reaction before insisting that Homan's rhetoric was 'more extreme' than what had been said by the Trump...

Donald Trump has selected his son-in-law Jared Kushner’s father, Charles Kushner, to serve as the next US ambassador to France, the president-elect announced Saturday. “I am pleased to nominate Charles Kushner, of New Jersey, to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to France. He is a tremendous business leader, philanthropist, & dealmaker, who will be a strong advocate representing our Country & its interests,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social

The Syrian military rushed reinforcements to the country’s northwest and launched airstrikes on a major city Sunday in an attempt to push back insurgents who seized the country’s largest city of Aleppo in a surprise offensive in recent days. The insurgency, led by jihadi group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, launched their campaign on Wednesday with a two-pronged attack on Aleppo and the countryside around Idlib, before moving toward neighboring Hama province. On Sunday, government troops created a “strong defensive line” in northern Hama, according to Britain-based opposition war monitor the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, as they attempted to stall the...

Transition team says Trump ‘will deliver’ on promise to fire accreditors ‘that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist maniacs’ Higher education accreditation groups are emphasizing their nonpartisanship and willingness to work with Donald Trump’s in-coming administration after the president-elect promised to fire “radical Left accreditors.” Meanwhile, Trump’s transition team told The College Fix the Republican leader “will deliver” on his plan for higher education. “The American people re-elected President Trump by a resounding margin giving him a mandate to implement the promises he made on the campaign trail. He will deliver,” spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in a...

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the term “deep State” refers to President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of Kash Patel to head the FBI because his objective is reforming the institution. Guest host Kasie Hunt said, “Do you think there are any issues inside the FBI around politicization, as many who voted for Donald Trump seem to say?” Raskin said, “Well, undoubtedly, if you look at it historically, for example, during the COINTELPRO period the FBI really was weaponized against Doctor King and the Civil Rights Movement and the Peace Movement. There was, you...

In the Enemy's Pocket: Al-Qaeda's Lord of War Our investigative findings expose a troubling truth: behind the cloak of national security, taxpayer funds are fueling the arsenal of Al-Qaeda's Lord of War, Abdul Azim Ali Musa bin Ali. His journey—from the battlefields of Afghanistan with the mujahideen to leading covert operations for core Al-Qaeda, and now returning to Afghanistan—reveals the staggering cost of ignorance. Known simply as 'Musa,' this terrorist has been the primary focus of our Benghazi investigation. Recent developments reveal that Musa is diverting U.S. funds, originally designated for the Taliban Government, to both Al-Qaeda and the Islamic...

Colin Wright @SwipeWright I'm not sure you're ready for this. Last night I posted an insane academic paper titled "Loving the Brine Shrimp: Exploring Queer Feminist Blue Posthumanities to Reimagine the ‘America’s Dead Sea’." That paper included a section near the end where the author claimed, via performance art, "to challenge the dominant scientific, industrial, and cultural use of brine shrimp by responding to them as lovable objects." They made... a video. It's titled "Cyber Wedding to the Brine Shrimp," and depicts the author and her queer colleagues, dressed as brides, venturing out into the Great Salt Lake in Utah,...

TBILISI -- Georgia's prime minister has said President Salome Zurabishvili must leave office at the end of her term later this month, despite her pledge not to. Irakli Kobakhidze's comments on December 1 set up a showdown with Zurabishvili, a day after she called the newly elected parliament illegitimate and vowed to remain as president. Demonstrations in the capital, Tbilisi, have turned increasingly chaotic and violent. Georgia has plunged deeper into a political crisis that started in late October, when the ruling Georgian Dream party claimed victory in parliamentary elections. The opposition said the vote was marked by fraud. Western...

This year’s election should have dispelled any and every doubt as to America’s favored (even only) political movement: MAGA. The logic of this, which has been countervailed by legacy news outfits like CNN and the New York Times for years now, wanting the public to believe MAGA is “far right” or “fringe,” should have always been intuitive. Make America Great Again, put simply, is rooted in common sense. No quintessentially American movement would be anything but MAGA. This is because the movement has always represented a revival of American values; of the rule of law; of due process; of impartial...

……. The outreach appears to include venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, Palantir cofounder Joe Lonsdale, hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, and former Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick. Antonio Gracias, a former Tesla director, and Steve Davis, president of the Boring Company, were named too. The latter two are affiliated with Musk’s many companies. And it seems that cohort is involved in the planning but, more specifically, is expected to work on technical challenges to collecting data on federal employees and programs. Andreessen is recruiting talent, according to the Washington Post. The Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, is supposedly charged with...

The Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen fired another ballistic missile at Israel on Sunday morning, in a gesture of defiance against President-elect Donald Trump and despite a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Sirens were activated across a wide swath of central Israel once the missile was detected: The Houthi rebels evidently claimed they had launched a “hypoersonic” missile, but given that hypersonic missiles are an advanced technology possessed by very few countries, and are almost impossible to intercept, that seems unlikely.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed his country will “invariably support” Russia’s war in Ukraine as he met Russia’s defense chief, the North’s state media reported Saturday. A Russia military delegation led by Defense Minister Andrei Belousov arrived in North Korea on Friday, amid growing international concern about the two countries’ expanding cooperation after North Korea sent thousands of troops to Russia last month. The official Korean Central News Agency said that Kim and Belousov reached “a satisfactory consensus” on boosting strategic partnership and defending each country´s sovereignty, security interests and international justice in...

Special Dispatch to the New-York Times. WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Nov. 30. Richmond papers of Monday, the 28th, have been received here to-day. They preserve their accustomed reticence in regard to operations in Georgia, in execution of their avowed purpose of communicating no information whatever in regard to what is there going on. The tone of their editorials is, however, as boastful as usual. The following are the only items of interest which they contain: WHERE SHERMAN IS NOT. We do not intend to inform the Yankee newspapers where SHERMAN now is; but we feel no hesitation in assuring them that he...

Jerrell Thomas, described by police investigators as a “habitual criminal,” is under arrest and charged with first degree murder in the shooting death of Oak Park police detective Allan Reddins. Breitbart News reported Reddins responded to a call Friday morning about a man leaving a bank with a gun and, upon arriving on scene, was shot around 9:30 a.m. Reddins died shortly thereafter and was the first Oak Park Police Department officer killed in the line of duty since 1938.

On Saturday’s “CNN Newsroom,” CNN Senior Law Enforcement Analyst former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said the nomination of Kash Patel to be the director of the FBI is “a terrible development for the men and women of the FBI, and also for the nation that depends on a highly-functioning, professional, independent FBI.” McCabe said, “[I]t’s a terrible development for the men and women of the FBI, and also for the nation that depends on a highly-functioning, professional, independent FBI. The fact that Kash Patel is profoundly unqualified for this job is not even like a matter for debate. …...

“A failure on this scale isn’t just bad luck, it isn’t a global trend or taking your eye off the ball – no, this is a different order of failure,” the prime minister continued. “This happened by design, not accident. Policies were reformed deliberately to liberalize immigration. Brexit was used for that purpose, to turn Britain into a one-nation experiment in open borders.” Following Brexit, net migration reached a previous peak of 764,000 in 2022. In 2015, before the referendum passed, net migration totaled to no more than 333,000. The latest immigration numbers are higher than previously thought.
