Vice President-elect JD Vance underwent a “long-planned” minor surgery Friday after appearing at the Capitol earlier in the day for the Senate’s swearing-in ceremony. “The Vice President-elect is having long-planned, minor sinus surgery and will be back at work tomorrow,” his spokesperson William Martin told Fox News. The surgery reportedly took place at George Washington University Hospital in Washington, DC. The Trump transition team did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment. The medical procedure comes with less than three weeks to go before Vance is sworn-in as vice president on Jan. 20, when President-elect Donald Trump is...

ONLY GOD GIVES PEACE The Lord will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace. Psalm 29:11 One of the greatest ways God speaks to us and leads us is through the inner witness. In other words, we just know inside what is right or wrong. It is a deeper level of knowing than "head knowledge". This type of knowing is in the spirit...we simply have peace or a lack of peace. By the presence or absence of peace, we know what we should do. I once spoke with a woman...

Brian Tome is the lead pastor of Crossroads Church, a seeker-sensitive, multisite megachurch in Cincinnati, Ohio, that advertises itself as a “place for people who have given up on church but not on God.” They further note that they are an “interdenominational church” and that “Our beliefs are shared by many different Christian denominations, and we welcome everyone. It’s like one big pool party, with Methodists and Catholics and Presbyterians all doing cannonballs together.” For the introduction of the Sunday morning sermon, Brian Tome reenacts a scene from the movie, climbing through an air duct before emerging on stage, looking...

[snip] ONE-LINERS: Active Green Beret Matthew Livelsberger, 37, allegedly detonated the Tesla Cybertruck while almost simultaneously shooting himself in the head. His body was badly burned in the explosion and fire. The explosion occurred several hours after a terror attack in New Orleans committed by an ISIS-inspired man who once served in the army. Livelsberger and the New Orleans terror suspect both spent time at Fort Bragg, and both used the same car rental app to secure the vehicles they used. Though Livelsberger's body was burned beyond recognition, (he was identified by his tattoos), his cell phone and ID were...

Pinned by The Civil Rights Lawyer @thecivilrightslawyer 6 months ago This footage was documented by The Real News Network in a great video, where they interviewed the family involved. It's a perfect illustration of these "gangs" of drug task force type cops, who like to wear backward ball caps, cover their bodies with tattoos, and otherwise attempt to NOT look like cops. Often that causes problems when they go to do cop things, like pull people over for traffic stops. This footage shows just one instance of that. Then, when they don't find what they were looking for, they often...

An article featuring statements from Ukrainian soldiers about American Abrams tanks was published on Business Insider. Although the war with Russia has shown that they are not invincible, their capabilities and equipment have been rated much better than Soviet-era and even newer Russian tanks. "It's better than T-72, T-62, and even Russian T-90," said a Ukrainian Abrams tank commander quoted by Business Insider. The Ukrainians pointed out that the Soviet-era T-series tanks are smaller and lighter than Abrams tanks. As a result, they are somewhat harder targets, but on the other hand, they have weaker armour and do not provide...

Teamsters Union President Sean O’Brien says the H-1B visa program “displaces” Americans from their jobs while allowing billionaires at the top of corporations to exploit foreign workers. Amid debate regarding the H-1B visa program, which allows companies to import hundreds of thousands of foreign workers, primarily from India, to take white-collar American jobs, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) blasted the program as nothing more than an outsourcing scheme.

It’s been 27 years since I interviewed Chauncey Marvin Holt in a Lemon Grove home. Over the intervening years, what Holt revealed in his intriguing life story has bedeviled me. A documentary I would produce from the interview included many details on his role with organized crime, in San Diego and elsewhere, and how it played out in the most dramatic murder of the 20th century — the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. A more recent interview with attorney Michael Aguirre, former City Attorney for San Diego, about the confidential arrangement he had with...

Douglas Murray, Spectator columnist, joins Americano host and Spectator deputy editor Freddy Gray. This week, Home Office Minister Jess Phillips rejected Oldham Council’s request for a government-led inquiry into the horrific scandal of grooming gangs in dozens of UK cities. Her decision has led to real backlash – with X owner Elon Musk calling for safeguarding minister Jess Phillips to be jailed, and for the King to dissolve parliament. Have politicians underestimated the strength of public feeling in the UK and the US? They also discuss the Southport riots, and ask why some politicians are unwilling to confront societal problems...

@S_Coughlin_DC joins Tera Dahl to discuss how the terror attacks seem to be well-funded and well-executed around the country as pro-Hamas supporters celebrate the New Orleans attack.

Taylor Starling, a high school cross-country runner at Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, California, lost her spot on the varsity team earlier this season to a transgender transfer student. Multiple parents of students at Martin Luther King have told Fox News Digital that the school has allowed the trans athlete to compete on the varsity cross-country team despite missing practices for academic reasons. These parents include Starling's father, longtime firefighter Ryan Starling, and construction subcontractor Dan Slavin, father to Kaitlyn, another runner on the team. "The fact that the male athlete was able to compete while attending less...

VIDEOBesides Ukraine and Ft. Bragg, perhaps MK-Ultra? According to Tom O'Neill, author of "CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties," the CIA most likely did NOT end their MK-Ultra mind control program despite having promised that it was terminated. Why? Because they had already put a lot of money and effort into creating a mind control program that proved extremely effective. The name might have changed but the program remained in place according to logic.
