Nearby elephant riders can be seen comforting the distressed animal, which had a gold headpiece adorning its head, and removing some of the ornaments in an attempt to alleviate its aggression. The man thrown around...

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) described recent talks about the United States acquiring Greenland as being a “responsible conversation.” During an interview on Fox News on Tuesday, Fetterman admitted that while he “would never support” taking Greenland “by force,” it would be a “responsible conversation” to talk about acquiring Greenland from Denmark, including “buying it outright.” Fetterman’s words come after President-elect Donald Trump has previously stated that the U.S. taking ownership of Greenland is an “absolute necessity” for national security and freedom. “There’s a lot of talk about Greenland, for example, and, I know there’s a lot of freakouts and of...

The only thing they lacked to complete their scenario were actual white supremacist terrorists. But now, Heap Big Squaw Sen.

Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley is used to shattering glass ceilings.

What was the most under-reported news story during the Biden presidency? In the last week or so, there has been a sudden burst of recognition of the extent to which Democrats and the media worked together to cover up Biden’s progressing cognitive decline. One media figure after another has come forward to call this the “most under-reported” story of the last year or several years. Some examples among many include: CBS correspondent Jan Crawford on December 30 (“That [the most under-reported story] would be, to me, Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in a televised debate"); Rolling Stone,...

Germany’s once-envied efficient economy is in freefall, and the climate change cult and European Green Deal are directly to blame. State policies subsidizing EVs and other products, shutting down coal and nuclear plants, and mandating forced conversion to untested, unimplemented “renewables” resources for energy have decimated industrial efficiency. Industries and blue-collar jobs are fleeing Germany for polluting, profitable operations in China, India, and elsewhere abroad. Will the United States follow suit? As natural gases skyrocket during a European cold snap, and Russian gas pipelines through Ukraine are shut down for the first time since 1991, Germany has transitioned from Europe’s...

“A voice out of the heavens said, ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased’” (Matthew 3:17). The truth that Jesus Christ is God’s perfect Son is a key feature of the gospel message. The author of the letter to the Hebrews makes this clear at the outset of his writing: God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.
