... an opinion piece released at EndTimeHeadlines reveals that one [United Methodist] congregation has taken the agenda to an extreme. With an F-bomb-laden, LGBT "worship anthem" in which a performer loudly proclaims "I'm f****** gay." The commentary said, "It was once said that when the Church stops offending the world, it has stopped representing Christ. That grim warning came true again in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where Zao MKE Church – an official United Methodist congregation – recently led its Sunday worship with a profane, self-glorifying anthem titled, 'I'm F****** Gay.'"

... Brennan’s connections made him the perfect CIA Director as President Barack Hussein Obama corroded every American institution to soften the nation up for its collapse into socialism. Brennan was the perfect CIA Director to funnel arms and money into the hands of ISIS militants as they wreaked havoc across the Middle East and Europe. He was the perfect CIA Director to oversee the Russia-gate frame job against President Trump. And he will be the perfect CIA Director, the first in the history of the Agency’s existence in fact, to face treason charges.

Earlier today, CIA Director John Ratcliffe issued a stark report on the origins of the Russia Collusion hoax. It outlines the repeated efforts by the Obama administration - starting in 2015 but with an unknown end date - to link Donald Trump to Russia. The costs of these criminal activities to the American enterprise are incalculable. An Unprecedented Weaponization of IntelligenceTo begin: the Obama-Brennan 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) represents an alarming departure from traditional intelligence practices, revealing how one administration systematically targeted a political opponent using the apparatus of the intelligence community. Never before in American history have we...

“Many of the things I worked so damn hard, that I thought I changed in the country, are changing so rapidly,” Biden complained.

Liberal journalists dumped a barrel of glorifying adjectives upon the news Bill Moyers died at age 91. The Washington Post headline was “Bill Moyers, eminence of public affairs broadcasting, dies at 91.” AP’s Frazier Moore gushed, “the former White House press secretary who became one of television’s most honored journalists, masterfully using a visual medium to illuminate a world of ideas.” Some also used “legendary.” CNN’s Brian Stelter oozed, “His career can and should serve as a model for younger generations.” Ugh. NPR anchor Scott Simon hailed Moyers as “one of the signature figures, along with Big Bird and Susan...

The government of Turkey offered a warm welcome to a delegation representing the jihadist terrorist organization Hamas on Wednesday, expressing support for its cause and accusing the government of Israel of “genocide” for engaging in self-defense operations against the group. Muhammad Ismail Darwish, the head of the Hamas Islamic “shura council,” met with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in Ankara to “discuss developments in ceasefire negotiations and the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza,” according to the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet. Darwish is one of the few remaining high-ranking leaders within Hamas after several Israeli operations targeting both the “political” and “military”...

Americans have one more reason to celebrate this Fourth of July: getting all the gear needed to host a pool party costs less than it has in years, according to a market research company's preliminary data. The total price to buy beach towels, a beverage cooler, bathing suits and other accoutrements of summer fun averaged $858 in June, the lowest amount for the month since 2020, consumer data provider Numerator said in an analysis prepared for The Associated Press. The finding from the firm's seasonal snapshot comports with broader economic measures indicating that U.S. consumers so far have not seen...

United States President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky are expected to speak over the phone tomorrow and discuss Washington's unexpected pause in arms deliveries to Kiev, the Financial Times reported on Thursday. Pentagon's decision to stop supplying some advanced weapons systems to Kiev, including munitions and missiles, prompted Ukraine to summon the acting US envoy, fearing the move would jeopardize the country's defense amid the ongoing conflict with Russia. Furthermore, sources familiar with the matter indicated that Zelensky will press the topic of potential new US arms sales. Trump's last meeting with his Ukrainian colleague came during...

Del Monte Foods, the 138-year-old company best known for its canned fruits and vegetables, has filed for bankruptcy and is looking for a buyer. Late Tuesday, the company announced it was voluntarily entering Chapter 11 and is going through a sale process for all of its assets. Among the company’s product lines are a number of well-known kitchen staples, including College Inn broths and Contadina canned tomatoes, as well as its flagship Del Monte brand. “After a thorough evaluation of all available options, we determined a court-supervised sale process is the most effective way to accelerate our turnaround and create...

Employers in the United States added 147,000 workers to their payrolls in June, the Department of Labor said Thursday, and the unemployment rate declined to 4.1 percent, defying predictions of labor market sluggishness following the implementation of President Trump’s tariffs. Economists had been expecting 110,000 jobs and an unemployment rate ticking up to 4.3 percent. The April jobs report was revised up by 11,000, from a gain of 147,000 to 158,000. May was revised up by 5,000 to 144,000. Combined, the revisions added 16,000 jobs to the April and May reports. Wage gains continued in June. Average hourly earnings rose...

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Ukraine has stopped receiving any military supplies from the US, including shells and spare parts, the Economist has reported, citing Ukrainian officials. Ukrainian officials believe that the administration of US President Donald Trump tries to push Ukraine for political concessions by halting the supplies, the media said. Since January, Trump has not made any new commitments regarding weapons for Ukraine, it recalled. On Tuesday, US media reported that the Pentagon paused deliveries of certain air defense missiles and precision munitions to Ukraine over concerns that the US's own stock was running critically low. White House spokeswoman Anna...

In recent decades, academia has created or implemented a truly jaw-dropping array of programs and ideas. And not in a good way. Whether “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) policies or Annual Sex Week, these new notions all seem aimed at chipping away at the foundations of a society based on common-sense, truth, fairness, and morality. One such idea is the “land acknowledgment.” It is a statement that a particular event or organization is located on land that once belonged to specific indigenous tribes. Land acknowledgments first appeared in Australia in the late 1970s. They were adopted in Canada before coming...

If you like all the Science NASA has done since 1961, then wave it all goodby. NASA budget cut to the lowest since 1961 - before there was a manned space program. No more Rovers, probes, [ even 99942 Apophis probes cut, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99942_Apophis ]. There are no private entities that can or will pick up the slack. Cuts to Hubble and to Webb will leave them orbiting junk. Coupled with the possible collapse of SpaceX from 47's vengeance feud with Musk, the US will no longer have a space program - civilian or military. These twin disasters in the making...

The biological warfare unleashed on the global population should not be a forgotten war. A new study observed miscarriages and pregnancy losses among mothers-to-be who received the COVID-19 vaccination during gestational weeks 8-13 and 14-27, respectively. Researchers also noted the impact on unborn babies of mothers injected with the influenza vaccination as a comparison. The Israeli study analyzed 226,395 pregnancies and found that 1.1% of women lost their babies when given the COVID-19 vaccination after week 24 of pregnancy. An alarming 2.7% of women who received a COVID-19 vaccination in the early weeks of pregnancy suffered the loss of a...

Could Trump put SpaceX out of business? Will ruining Elon Musk save us "big money?" Don't watch if you are a hard core 47 supporter, lest you be triggered. Excerpt from the video transcript: Elon Musk is on the verge of blowing upall of his companies that he's worked so hard to build with his latest feud with Donald Trump that continues to escalate with every new development with the big beautiful bill. Now that it's passed the Senate, it appears that Elon has temporarily quieted down a little bit on X. But nevertheless, the situation remains very, very tense...

The Founding Fathers who gathered in Philadelphia to adopt the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 picked a nice day to do their work. It was a Thursday, and the temperature at 6:00 a.m. was 68°F, going up to a warmish but still pleasant 76°F at 1:00 p.m., according to daily records kept by Virginia’s Thomas Jefferson. The planetary metabolism at the time was set more for such balmy days than it was for the increasingly suffocating summers we experience in the 21st century. It was in 1867 that scientists would first define the epoch that includes the late...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope recently detected a planet that could possibly sustain life based on temperature readings, which has a mass approximately 100 times the size of Earth. The planet, which astronomers believe is orbiting a young red dwarf star approximately 34 light years away, has been dubbed TWA 7b and is roughly the size of Saturn. An initial analysis suggests the planet has a temperature of near 120 degrees Fahrenheit, which is warm enough to support life. Scientists believe life can grow and reproduce starting at about 5 degrees Fahrenheit and as high as 251 degrees Fahrenheit, per...
