German media is LYING about the Christmas market attack.. They try to convince the German people, that this terrorist act was a far right attack by an AfD connected assassin. This is not true. He wanted to punish Germans, he wanted to kill Germans and he was an Arabic migrant. Share the truth ... If the suspect in the Christmas market attack is an ex-Muslim and an atheist then why was he screaming "Allahu Ukbar" (at 17 seconds into this video) when he was being arrested? ... Dude yelled Allah akbar right before they arrested him, I guess they have...

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has publicly accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of attempting to bribe him with €500 million in exchange for Slovakia’s backing of Ukraine’s NATO membership bid. Fico made the explosive allegation during a press conference in Brussels on Thursday, following a private meeting with Zelensky on the sidelines of an EU leaders' summit. He revealed that Slovakia might consider taking "reciprocal measures" after Ukraine chose not to extend its gas transit deal with Russia, set to expire at the end of the year. Ukraine cited the ongoing war as the reason for the decision, raising concerns...

When he was on a reality TV show, she was in his television boardroom. When he was running for office, she was on the campaign trail. When he was president, she had an office in the West Wing. But in January of 2021, for the first time since she was 23 years old, she left Washington – and his employ.That statement remains true after Donald Trump’s 2024 victory, sources close to Ivanka Trump said, as she...

The big story this week is the how X (formerly Twitter) worked to dramatically change the American legislative process. As Chamath Palihapitiya said, "People are underestimating what happened here [The Continuing Resolution]. This was a multi hundred billion dollar grift that was stopped on a dime over 12 hours of tweets. You would have never thought this was possible. To put a dagger in something that big that had so much broad support just a few hours earlier is so consequential in how the United States can run going forward." But if you grasp the background for this feat --...

Outgoing President Joe Biden is facing criticism after bombshell reports emerged that he was allegedly too "mentally fatigued" to take a critical call from the House Armed Services Committee Chair in the lead-up to the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Critics argue that the report highlights a troubling pattern of disengagement and raises serious questions about his leadership and accountability during a crisis that resulted in lasting consequences. According to the Wall Street Journal, Biden was so tired...

A bombshell 17,000-page report was just dropped, detailing specific instances where the Biden administration has weaponized the federal government for political gain. The extensive document, compiled by the House Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, outlines claims of misuse of federal agencies to target political opponents, suppress dissent, and influence public opinion. This raises serious questions about the integrity of the federal bureaucracy and the Biden Administration’s four years in office. During the nearly two-year investigation, exposed a “two-tiered system of government,” witht the committee finding several cases of censorship, whistleblower retaliation, and the politicization of federal...

An NYPD lieutenant alleged in harrowing detail how the department’s hulking top cop preyed on her financial and emotional vulnerabilities to repeatedly sexually demean her in his Police Headquarters office, according to a new complaint. Lt. Quathisha Epps was facing foreclosure and desperate to keep her home the first time Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey asked for sex, she claimed in an exclusive interview. **SNIP** Maddrey strongly denies Epps’ claims. In one painful session, he bent her over a sofa in his 13th-floor office, she claimed to The Post, sobbing. “I kept asking him, ‘Can you please stop?’ Then I...

Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons have been positively scandalous — and the one for his son Hunter hasn’t even been the worst of them. Biden’s pardons are terrible in and of themselves, but taken together they illustrate a more important point. Pardons are for resolving individual cases one at a time; pardons aren’t for policymaking. First: Holy smokes, some of these pardons are bonkers, including Biden’s grant of clemency for the corrupt judge at the center of the “Kids for Cash” case, in which former Pennsylvania Judge Michael Conahan took bribes in exchange for wrongly sentencing children to time in for-profit...

KILLEEN, Texas — Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Bryan Washko said a person who drove through the Killeen mall Saturday night was shot and killed by authorities. It started around 5 p.m. when a DPS trooper tried to pull over a person driving a black truck near the intersection of I-35 and I-14 in Belton.

“God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name . . . that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord” (Philippians 2:9, 11). To receive Christ as Savior is to submit to His authority as Lord. Is Jesus Lord? According to the declaration of the Father, He is. We cannot know Him any other way than as Lord. That’s why the first creed in the history of the church, given in Philippians 2:11, says, “Jesus Christ is Lord.” Every Christian must acknowledge that. It is the foundation of the Christian faith, the...

The Minnesota legislature just flipped to Republican control after a DFL party member, which is the state's Democratic Party, was found ineligible. A Ramsey County District Court judge ruled that Curtis Johnson held his primary residence in another legislative district and not in House District 40B.

Abortion increased 90% in the nation’s abortion capital of New York, one report shows. Outlawing abortion in pro-life states certainly reduces abortion incidences, but just in those states. Those restrictions do not appear to have the same effect nationwide. Like squeezing a balloon, abortion regulations push women out of pro-life states like Texas to abortion tourism destinations like New York or to illegally mail order dangerous chemical abortion pills. Historically, when it comes to abortion policy and trends, as goes New York, so goes the nation. 2023 is the first full year in a post-Roe America. According to a recent...
