The Blessing UK — At this unique and challenging time in the United Kingdom over 65 churches and movements, representing hundreds of others, have come together online to sing a blessing over our land. Standing together as one, our desire is that this song will fill you with hope and encourage you. But the church is not simply singing a blessing, each day we're looking to practically be a blessing. Many of the churches included in this song have assisted with supplying over 400,000 meals to the most vulnerable and isolated in our nation since COVID-19 lockdown began. This alongside...

Guadalajara, a World Cup site next year, lies in a cartel stronghold. As Trump considers attacking drug gangs, it offers a cautionary tale.Carmen Lucia Carrillo spotted her son immediately. Daniel was dressed in black, stretching his lanky frame over the cars, squirting soapy liquid. Handsome and outgoing, with a gap-toothed grin, he always did like to look sharp, even with a rag dangling from his back pocket. She had just bought him those jeans, from a trendy Mexican discount store, Beware of the Dog. A half-hour later, Daniel vanished. Two men — one carrying a pistol — grabbed him and...

If you want to apply to be a teacher in Oklahoma, prepare a resume, references — and to take a 34-question test about civics. Here, Marissa Streit, the CEO of PragerU, which developed the test, and Ryan Walters, the superintendent of education for Oklahoma, explain the reason behind the test and respond to the backlash. Oklahoma and PragerU have introduced a Teacher Qualification Test: a straightforward assessment to ensure educators know American civics, constitutional values, parental rights, and the basics of history and literacy. Before the questions were even published, national media outlets launched a coordinated smear campaign. That isn’t...

"... we’re willing to worship the lives of our children to appease the prophets of the gun industry" One MSNBC guest claimed on Saturday that calls for prayer after the tragic school shooting that unfolded just days earlier were “a form of idolatry” and “theological malpractice,” arguing that unless people were also willing to go after gun manufacturers, their prayers meant nothing. Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones, a Democrat, joined MSNBC host Ali Velshi to discuss the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, MN — and he blamed Republican lawmakers and guns for the tragic shooting.

The winds of change could soon blow on Iran, according to a new report. The Islamic Republic is facing collapse, indicates the report, issued by UK-based Henry Jackson Society this week, as the UN accuses Tehran of executing nearly 900 people already this year “as a tool of intimidation.” If the Islamic Republic falls, “there is a danger that regime collapse could lead to a vacuum of governance that is accompanied by civil war,” according to the findings. “This is an outcome that must be avoided at all costs for the Iranian people, and every step must therefore be made...

Another Great Awakening for the Democratic Party.Heartlanders had a busy week debating political issues, from Cracker Barrel-gate to the importance of midterms, even laughing it up at former presidential candidate Kamala Harris. CEOs walked back remarks; President Donald Trump pulled back Secret Service protections from the former VP; and Republicans finally saw that maintaining the House and Senate a short year from now is paramount to the MAGA agenda. Light bulbs went off in the most interesting places.MAGA: Saddle Up, We Ride at DawnPollster Matt Towery went on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle and scared the bejesus out of any...

Germany has long called itself a country that upholds democracy in a “defensive form”—a concept propagated by an establishment that claims the right to decide who and what voters should be allowed to vote for. This principle is now being wielded most aggressively in the fight against the right-populist Alternative for Germany (AfD). This week, a court of appeals confirmed the exclusion of the AfD candidate from the upcoming mayoral election in Ludwigshafen, a western German industrial city of 122,000 residents. When citizens go to the polls on September 21, they will no longer have the option of voting for...

Demetre Daskalakis, the former director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the CDC, who resigned on Wednesday, warned of the forthcoming “ideologic direction” of public health in an interview with Martha Raddatz on ABC’s This Week.“From my vantage point, as a doctor who’s taken the Hippocratic oath, I only see harm coming,” Daskalakis told Raddatz. “I may be wrong, but based on what I’m seeing, based on what I’ve heard with the new members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, or ACIP, they’re really moving in an ideologic direction where they want to see the...

JOB OPENING Wanted: MAGA-leaning broadcast executive looking to serve as a news “ombudsman,” and make CBS News less of a mouthpiece of the Democratic Party. Stating Salary: $250,000 a year. Hours: One day a month. Not a bad gig — and it’s exactly what executives at CBS are searching for at the broadcaster, The Post has learned. The position is part of a settlement agreement with President Trump’s media regulator, the Federal Communications Commission, which investigated whether the network’s Democrat-friendly political tilt violated FCC “public interest” guidelines. The investigation centered on a controversial “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris during...

He also wants to restrict mail-in voting and allow only paper ballots. The Constitution doesn’t give the president explicit authority over election law.President Trump said late Saturday that he would issue an executive order to require voter identification for all U.S. elections, a continuation of his efforts to overhaul the nation’s election laws, which he has long attacked and falsely blamed for his 2020 election loss.In a post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump said, “Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!!” He did not provide further...

Previously Chairman, now serving as a member of the Ukrainian Parliament, Andriy Parubiy was shot several times with a short-barreled firearm, police said. Parubiy died on the spot. The perpetrator, who fled the scene and has not yet been identified, was “thoroughly prepared” according to local authorities.Andriy Parubiy was the primary Ukrainian political activist during Victoria Nuland’s organized Maidan revolution.

Remember, CNN is to the State Dept as the Washington Post is to the CIA.(VIA CNN) – […] Parubiy participated in 2004’s Orange Revolution, where...

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) accused White House official Sebastian Gorka on Sunday of wanting “to deflect from the reality” of the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting by pointing out gunman Robin Westman’s transgender identity. Gorka, who serves as President Trump’s deputy assistant and senior director for counterterrorism, argued on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Westman had a clear “ideological” motive for targeting the Annunciation Catholic School earlier this week — where two students were killed and more than a dozen other children and adults were injured while they prayed at Mass. “That’s what terrorism is,” Gorka said of the mass...

The “trans woman” shooter who murdered two school kids and wounded 17 others at a Catholic Mass in Minnesota confessed in his journal that he “was tired of being trans.” The revelation that Robin Westman, given name Robert, was a crazed maniac who severely needed psychiatric help shows up in the journal, the New York Post revealed today. He posted it to YouTube before he began firing into Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis. The journal also reveals that he fantasized about murdering school children.

The three victims of the Indian immigrant truck driver who made an illegal U-turn across a Florida highway earlier this month have been identified as Haitian immigrants, according to officials. The driver Herby Dufresne, 30, and passengers Faniola Joseph, 27, and Rodrigue Dor, 53, all Haitian immigrants, were in their minivan when it plowed into the side of an 18-wheeler driven by Harjinder Singh, an immigrant from India, on Aug. 12, the Miami Herald reported. Dufresne arrived in Miami in December 2023 from Port-au-Prince and was given a two-year permit to live and work in the US after obtaining a...

Sometimes you just have to look at a thing to know it’s nuts. Other times, you have to extrapolate a thing out to its inevitable end to know it’s nuts, but then there it is: it’s nuts. Lefties have trouble extrapolating. They clearly have trouble with what is real and obvious (i.e., X/X = Female, X/Y = Male), but the things you need only think through just a little bit elude them, too. Have you noticed? They simply don’t extrapolate. Even a little. They’re often so anti-science, so counter-factual, so self-destructive that it goes beyond simply not following “the science.”...

The president of the U.S. bishops’ conference called for a special collection to bolster the Catholic Church’s response to a deepening humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip as the Israel-Hamas war continues to grind on. In a letter to his brother bishops, Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, urged them to hold a “special collection to provide humanitarian relief and pastoral support for our affected brothers and sisters in Gaza and surrounding areas in the Middle East” through both Catholic Near East Welfare Association and Catholic Relief Services, the overseas humanitarian relief agency of...

Let’s get this out of the way immediately: Week 1 in college football can be misleading. Recent history is littered with season openers that didn’t affect the next dozen weeks like we thought they would. Drawing season-long conclusions based on one weekend’s worth of games is a perilous endeavor. Do it at your own risk. But make no mistake. Saturday wasn't a great day for the SEC. And could have been a lot worse if No. 9 LSU hadn't snapped a five-game Week 1 losing streak against No. 4 Clemson. Texas entered 2025 as the preseason No. 1 team in...

The overwhelming majority of gun owners are in favor of universal background checks, of raising the minimum age to buy guns to 21 and so-called "red flag" laws to remove guns from potentially dangerous people, a new NPR/Ipsos survey finds. But most of these gun owners also don't want to see an AR-15-style semiautomatic weapon ban, doubt new gun-control measures would do anything to stop mass shootings and Republican gun owners in particular think passing new gun control laws is a slippery slope toward taking all guns away. "As a gun owner myself, both pistols and hunting rifles, I feel...
