Within days of its founding in early August, a mysterious company called Save Our Home Planet Action, Inc. managed to get ahold of nearly $2.2 million—funds that it promptly handed over to a collection of major Democratic super PACs...Federal Election Commission records show the mysterious company shares an address with Patagonia, the self-proclaimed "activist company" that has committed to donating $100 million every year to combat climate change and uses the "Save Our Home Planet" slogan in the clothing it sells. And California business records show Greg Curtis, a former Patagonia legal officer who now heads the retailer's parent nonprofit,...

A knife-wielding maniac with a history of mental illness and 53 prior arrests is wanted in connection with at least two stabbings in the subway this week, The Post has learned. Cops searching for Jamar Banks were warned to use “extreme caution” when encountering him because he is believed to be armed with “a large knife,” according to a message sent to police officers and obtained by The Post.

In Matthew 9:27-30 it reads, 27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” 28When He entered the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 29Then He touched their eyes, saying, “It shall be done to you according to your faith.” 30And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them: “See that no one knows about this!” Notice, the first thing Jesus asked them, "Do...

CLEARCREEK TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WXIX) - More details have been released after a woman was arrested for shooting a man at a New Year’s Eve party. Olivia Clendenin, 28, faces five charges, including attempted murder, according to the Clearcreek Township Police Department. The charges stem from what was originally called in as a drive-by shooting on Dearth Road at 5 a.m. on New Year’s Day. “The initial call was the belief that it was a drive-by shooting,” explained Clearcreek Township Police Chief John Terrill. “When officers got there, they did find one individual had been shot in the stomach.” Inside the...

Lionel Messi has risked further fury after opting against attending the glamorous White House ceremony to collect his Presidential Medal of Freedom. The World Cup winner was awarded America's highest civilian honor on Saturday, and was invited to meet Joe Biden and collect the award in Washington DC. As photos began to surface of the ceremony, it became clear that Messi was one of the few recipients to skip the event, and wasn't pictured on stage with Biden. The likes of Bono, Magic Johnson, Hillary Clinton and Michael J. Fox all headed for the American capital, but there was no...

The Korean War is nicknamed “the Forgotten War,” but the War of 1812 — fought between the United States and Great Britain just a few decades after America won its independence — certainly rivals it in terms of its lack of place in the collective national memory. Maybe it’s because the war took place two centuries ago; maybe it’s the placement between two major American wars that largely overshadow it (the Revolutionary War and Civil War). Maybe it’s the relatively nondescript name. Whatever the reason, asking the average American for details about the War of 1812 is likely to be...

The MTA held a cheery celebration to unveil a new “Congestion Relief Zone” sign in Manhattan, just hours before drivers will feel the pain as the controversial toll goes into effect in the Big Apple. The agency’s CEO Janno Lieber seemed to have no concern for the many lawsuits and pleas from commuters aiming to stop the new $9 toll, as he personally unveiled a toll sign Saturday at one of the entry points to the zone at Broadway and W. 61st St. Video shared by the MTA on social media shows a small crowd of toll supporters and elected...

Labour was last night accused of plotting a shameless bid to 'rig' the next election by sweeping away laws to prevent voter fraud and allowing millions of foreign nationals to vote. Speculation is mounting in Westminster that ministers are drawing up radical reforms that will dramatically overhaul the way elections are held – and potentially 'lock in' a Labour Party majority. The Government is already planning to extend the right to vote to 16 and 17-year-olds, with legislation expected later this year. Now the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), a Left-wing think-tank closely aligned with Labour, has called for...

ESPN has been taking heat on social media for skipping a moment of silence during the Sugar Bowl broadcast, which was held in honor of the victims of the terror attack in New Orleans this week...The attack occurred on New Year's Day when 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar drove a pickup truck through a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street, killing 14 people while injuring another 35 more. As a result, organizers decided to postpone the beloved Allstate Sugar Bowl held in New Orleans until Thursday to show respect and ensure proper security. According to the Daily Mail, the decision was...

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...

Unveiling the Deep: Chinese Submarines and Anti-Gravitic Drones Along U.S. CoastlinesThe realm of naval warfare is undergoing a significant transformation, with submarines potentially serving as launch platforms for drones capable of operating in both sea and air.

These revelations, combined with documented advancements in Chinese naval and drone technology, suggest profound implications for global security and military strategy.(The internet...

Seasonal flu activity is elevated across the Untied States, including a rise in emergency visits, according to the CDC in its weekly update Friday.

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...
