PHOENIX -- Reyna Montoya was 10 when she and her family fled violence in Tijuana and illegally immigrated to the U.S. Growing up in Arizona, she worried even a minor traffic violation could lead to her deportation. She didn't feel relief until 11 years later in 2012, when she received a letter confirming she had been accepted to a new program for immigrants who came to the country illegally as children. “All of the sudden, all these possibilities opened up,” Montoya said, fighting back tears. The Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program granted her and hundreds of thousands of...

Trump-hating Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe accidentally endorsed Kash Patel for FBI Director in a CNN appearance Saturday night, saying his nomination is “terrible” for those who are currently at the Bureau. .... Snip.... President Trump announced Patel’s nomination Saturday evening in a Truth Social post, saying, “This FBI will end the growing crime epidemic in America, dismantle the migrant criminal gangs, and stop the evil scourge of human and drug trafficking across the Border.” In his leftist media rant aimed at discrediting Patel, McCabe said the nomination "can only possibly be a plan to disrupt, to dismantle, to...

The bromance between George Clooney and Barack Obama is reportedly on the rocks, with the Hollywood star said to be “furious” with Obama for setting him up as the “patsy” to end President Joe Biden’s career and then absorb the blowback following Kamala Harris’ election defeat. “George is furious with Obama for disappearing after the election disaster and leaving him holding the bag for pushing the plan with his Hollywood pals,” an unnamed entertainment industry source told Radaronline.

In Proverbs 4:20-22 it says something very powerful about God's word that people need to understand. It says, My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. They are life which has to do with revive, give life to, quicken, restore to life.

The White House has finally confirmed that the US will assist Ukraine with ATACMs launches deep into Russia - according to Sputnik. Indeed, there have been a number of attacks on Kursk using ATACMs this week. So, the Oreshnik warning fell on deaf ears and Russia has already begun to retaliate by destroying stocks of these missiles along with large numbers of NATO personnel (see Russian Missile/Drone Attacks below). Commentators have been speculating about Russia’s response in the event that the ATACMs/Stormshadow attacks continue - which is likely. Will Russia take out the Ukrainian grid, will it deploy another Oreshnik...

Explanation: What color is the universe? More precisely, if the entire sky were smeared out, what color would the final mix be? This whimsical question came up when trying to determine what stars are commonplace in nearby galaxies. The answer, depicted here, is a conditionally perceived shade of beige. In computer parlance: #FFF8E7. To determine this, astronomers computationally averaged the light emitted by one of the larger samples of galaxies analyzed: the 200,000 galaxies of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. The resulting cosmic spectrum has some emission in all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, but a single perceived composite color....

At first (this morning), I thought it might just be me, but I was getting strange responses from ChatGPT that were completely unrelated to my prompts. Has anyone else had this experience? A moment ago, I asked ChatGPT to provide me with a video transcript summary of the Kash Patel interview on the Shawn Ryan podcast and I got a weather forecast for my area. I tried several times to make sure it wasn't just a fluke.ChatGPT's response to all my questions about this request/prompt were inane.

MAR-A-LAGO, FL — In a surprise move, President-elect Donald Trump has already moved re-establish relations with the notorious Castro regime. Photographs from a dinner at Trump's home showed the incoming President smiling and chatting with a member of the Castro family, in what appears to be a warming of relations."It's a surprise move," said foreign affairs correspondent Ashley Maguire. "While no longer technically holding the Presidency of Cuba, the Castros remain the de facto political power center of the country. Trump appears to be making a calculated move to befriend the younger generation of Castros, perhaps hoping to leverage those...

Politics were not discussed during my recent Thanksgiving dinner with family. The closest we came to it, as the wine was poured and the meat, stuffing, and sweet potato came around the table was a question by an elder family member with regard to whether or not some younger members of our family, who recently went to college, actually had their student loans forgiven, as promised to them by the now mostly forgotten and illegitimate Biden Administration. The innocent, or perhaps pointed, query was met with dead silence by our younger family members, as the gravy boat and cranberry sauce...

In October, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) sent a chartered flight carrying Indian nationals back home, marking a growing trend in deportations to India. This was no ordinary flight - it was one of multiple large-scale “removal flights” carried out this year, each typically carrying more than 100 passengers. The flights were returning groups of Indian migrants who "did not establish a legal basis to remain in the US". According to US officials, the latest flight carrying adult men and women was routed to Punjab, close to many deportees' places of origin. No precise breakdown of hometowns was provided....

Listen to this trash from these hellbound heathens pretending to be a church—a “non-binary God” with plural pronouns, as if the One who thundered from Sinai is now taking cues from Twitter pronoun bios. They repeat this “creed” to their “non-binary” “Jesus.” I believe in the non-binary God whose pronouns are plural. I believe in Jesus Christ, their child, who wore a fabulous tunic and had two dads, and saw everyone as a sibling child of God. I believe in the rainbow spirit who shatters our image of one white light and refracts it into a rainbow of gorgeous diversity…...

It is an unlikely return reminiscent of Harry Potter, "The Boy Who Lived", himself (or the Dark Lord Voldemort depending on your opinion). J.K. Rowling, author of the globally adored fantasy series who in recent years became a pariah in some quarters over her views on transgender people, appears to have just won the culture war she has been fighting for the past five years.Since 2019, Rowling has sparked impassioned debate—and backlash—over her statements on trans women and insistence on using male pronouns to describe them. The British-born writer has publicly supported women who question the legitimacy of trans women's...

HARTFORD, Connecticut - An extraordinary minister of Holy Communion who identifies as “transgender” said that Archbishop Christopher Coyne of Hartford, Connecticut, told him that he supports the so-called “LGBTQ community” and that he agreed to change the archdiocese’s transgender policy for students to be “more positive.” “Following my visit with Pope Francis, I was able to meet with our new Archbishop Christopher Coyne,” a gender-confused man going by the name “Lynn” Discenza wrote in a November 20 article published by LGBT activist group New Ways Ministry. St. Patrick-St. Anthony in Hartford, a Franciscan parish, recently held a Mass in anticipation...

Heresy purveyor Daystar Television Network has employed the law firm Kelly Hart & Hallman LLP to send requests for retractions via cease and desist letters (we call them “nastygrams” as a ministry that has received more than its fair share) to several YouTube discernment ministries and social media channels that have been critical of the heretical network and the actions of their president, Joni Lamb, who is being accused of covering up and downplaying sexual abuse by her son and daughter in law, Jonathan and Suzy Lamb. Some of these channels that have been hit with requests for “correction and...
