“‘Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill’” (Matthew 5:17). Is there an absolute basis for truth, for law, for morals, for real right and wrong? The absolute, Jesus says, is the law of the eternally sovereign God. God laid down His absolute, eternal, abiding law and made it known to humanity. And as God’s own Son, Jesus declared unequivocally that He did not come to teach or practice anything contrary to that law even in the slightest way, but to uphold it entirely. Jesus obviously...

* Global protests against Elon Musk escalate into vandalism, arson, and domestic terrorism, targeting Tesla showrooms. * The FBI labels attacks on Tesla facilities as domestic terrorism, arresting suspects amid violent incidents. * Protest organizers deny violence but face criticism for rhetoric fueling extremism. * Environmental activists burn EVs, contradicting their past support for green technology. * Pro-Trump counterprotests emerge as tensions rise ahead of planned demonstrations. Elon Musk continues to be the focal point of a global protest movement that claims to oppose his influence over government policy but has increasingly devolved into vandalism, arson, and domestic terrorism. This...

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett may be poised to break ranks again in a case involving funding for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Barrett has drawn sharp criticism from President Donald Trump's supporters in recent months after she sided against the president and the administration in high-profile cases involving Trump's agenda and his sentencing in New York. Chief Justice John Roberts has also been scrutinized over his rulings in significant cases, but Barrett in particular has sparked harsh blowback as staunch Trump supporters have said the president made a mistake by nominating her to the bench during his...

In recent years, the term “lawfare” has gained prominence in legal and political discourse, referring to the strategic use of legal proceedings to harm, intimidate, or silence an adversary rather than to pursue justice in good faith, most notably brought to public awareness in the multi-year legal pursuit of President Donald Trump. Currently, the unprecedented plethora of cases against the Trump administration has the public and the Republican House of Representatives crying “lawfare,” instigated in a conscious effort to interfere with the president’s electoral mandate and his constitutional prerogatives. As this phenomenon becomes more prevalent, a critical question arises: If...

Woman whose MAGA hat meltdown, subway wipeout went viral is an ‘extremely liberal’ luxury-brand specialist She’s going to need a re-brand! The woman who received “instant karma” after berating a President Trump supporter on the subway — and then face-planting on the platform after trying to grab his “Make America Great Again” hat — is an increasingly “agitated” creative director for several luxury brands, The Post has learned. Alberta Testanero, a 55-year-old dual Italian-American citizen, went viral for the caught-on-video incident on the 6 train in Midtown last week after branding the MAGA fan “uneducated” and a “racist.”

An Israeli biotech firm says it is nearing human trials for a breakthrough drug that could extend human lifespan by up to 30 percent by targeting the age-regulating protein SIRT-6, which the company says would also improve brain function, organ health, and overall vitality. On Friday, Israeli news site N12 reported that Tel Aviv-based Sirtlab is preparing to launch clinical trials on a drug designed to stimulate SIRT-6, a protein associated with youth, vitality, and disease resistance. The treatment could be available within three years, pending successful trials and regulatory approval. Professor Haim Cohen, the company’s chief scientist and head...

Luigi Mangione is sitting in a New York jail cell awaiting trial. Accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, he may face the death penalty if convicted. The Ivy League-educated, self-proclaimed anti-capitalist has become something of a celebrity in commie college circles because he's cute or something, and they hate America more than they hate murder. The loony leftists out in California are jumping on the Luigi bandwagon. A proposal for a ballot initiative that would regulate health insurance reimbursements has been named in honor of the accused murderer. We're not surprised by the proposal's content. The California statists...

Clear Skies Coming? States Rally to Ban Geoengineering as RFK Jr. Calls Out ‘Toxic Dousing' rt 51m 18s

The highest court in New York State, the Court of Appeals, has unbelievably opened the door for quarantine camps to become a reality. Though somewhat hard to imagine in 2025 with COVID-mania in our rearview mirrors, the truth of the matter is that the highest court in New York, the Court of Appeals, has unbelievably opened the door for quarantine camps to become a reality. I have fought the governor in court for the past three years to prevent quarantine camps from taking hold, and I was successful to some extent (the Department of Health cannot currently throw you into...

I’m Gen X. I was pretty young when I earned my PhD, so I’ve been a professor for a long time—over 30 years. If you’re not in academia, or it’s been awhile since you were in college, you might not know this: the students are not what they used to be. The problem with even talking about this topic at all is the knee-jerk response of, “yeah, just another old man complaining about the kids today, the same way everyone has since Gilgamesh. Shake your fist at the clouds, dude.”1 So yes, I’m ready to hear that. Go right ahead....

There is now a great MAGA siege of the fortified Deep State. Based on the horrified reactions coming from the news media cartel, it would seem that President Trump has taken the whole rotten Establishment by surprise. To be sure, the commander in chief did not hide his battle plans for conquering America’s out-of-control bureaucracy. Between mandatory court appearances over the last two years (during which Trump patiently withstood Democrat lawfare from all directions), the president dedicated large portions of his campaign rally speeches to outlining how he would starve and dismember the most offending parts of the federal government....

Elon Musk claimed in a Fox News interview Thursday night that the Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE, frequently uncovers "billions" in government waste, citing a supposed $1 billion survey about National Parks as an example. CBS News found no evidence that the Department of the Interior spent or planned to spend that much on a survey or on any single contract. No $830 million contract is visible on DOGE's online "wall of receipts," the list of contracts the group said it has terminated. According to data published on the site, only five canceled contracts have a total estimated...

At DOGE.gov, the merry elves of DOGE regularly post what they’ve been doing. The actual, rather than rhetorical, transparency is shocking. In its volume and breadth, the outright fraud, theft, incompetence and arrogance is as jaw-dropping as it is disgusting. Let’s review a few of those posts for the savings and insights they provide. Graphic: DOGE X ScreenshotNormal Americans would imagine anyone applying for government grants would have to be very specific indeed about what they intended to do with those billions. One would also imagine they would have to prove those billions would be of direct benefit to America...

Muhammed Ihsanullah was overjoyed when he received a $3,000 scholarship to spend the summer working at a camp in Minnesota. But after several travelers from Western nations were detained or deported as part of the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration, the 20-year-old British citizen from Leicester, England, is planning on carrying a burner phone when he comes to the U.S. in May. That’s if he ends up going at all. “I have a very, you know, stereotypical name as well,” Ihsanullah told NBC News. He might swap out devices, he said, “just so that I have the added security...

EVERETT, Mass. (AP) — For years, the mayor of a Boston suburb dreaded Wednesdays. That was the day when a local weekly would publish shocking allegations that he was on the take, sexually harassing women or under investigation by the FBI. Friends trashed Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria on Facebook over what the Everett Leader Herald printed. His father threatened to disown him — over stories the mayor knew were lies. “They labeled me as a ‘Kickback Carlo.’ Accusations that I was settling all kinds of sexual harassment lawsuits, that I put a knife to a girl’s throat and asked for...

AVONDALE, Pa. — In this sleepy, rural corner of southeastern Pennsylvania that produces 70% of the nation’s mushrooms, President Donald Trump’s immigration policies are threatening the American dream for a tight-knit community of generational mushroom farmers and the immigrant workers they have long employed. The year-round work of growing and picking the mushrooms that season the stews and stir-fries on American tables is the basis of the local economy in Avondale, a town of just over 1,200 people where more than 60% are Latino. In recent weeks, several immigrants in the area have already been arrested by federal immigration officials...

PREPARATIONS: Taiwan cannot allow China to implement a ‘fifth column’ approach, which would mean that the US could not help, a former Pentagon official said The military has prepared countermeasures should China attempt to blockade Taiwan, an action that would devastate the world economy and that the international community would be unlikely to ignore, Minister of National Defense Wellington Koo said yesterday. Koo was responding to a question for comment about a Wall Street Journal report published on Sunday that said “China’s armed forces are more ready than ever to surround Taiwan, cut it off from the world and try...

President Donald Trump’s FCC commissioner said Friday he’s opening an investigation into the Walt Disney Co. and its ABC television network to see whether they are “promoting invidious forms of DEI discrimination.” FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr announced the probe in a letter to Disney CEO Robert Iger on Friday. The company said it was reviewing the letter and looking forward to answering the commission’s questions. Carr has pushed the Federal Communications Commission into an activist role since Trump appointed him as its leader. For example, the FCC currently has open investigations into ABC, CBS and NBC News. “For decades, Disney...

Elon Musk announced he will leave his role in the Trump administration at the end of May after leading a $1 trillion deficit reduction as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE claims it has saved Americans $130 billion so far. Tech billionaire Elon Musk on Thursday announced that he plans to step down from his role in the Donald Trump administration at the end of May after overseeing a massive $1 trillion reduction in the US deficit. Musk, who was brought in as a “special government employee” for a 130-day term, has been spearheading government cost-cutting efforts...
