Year: C(I).First reading1 Timothy 6:2-12We brought nothing into the world and can take nothing out of itThis is what you are to teach the brothers to believe and persuade them to do. Anyone who teaches anything different, and does not keep to the sound teaching which is that of our Lord Jesus Christ, the doctrine which is in accordance with true religion, is simply ignorant and must be full of self-conceit – with a craze for questioning everything and arguing...

President Trump’s crackdown on gender ideology hasn’t stopped a major medical organization from continuing to promote child sex changes through a multi-million dollar transgender affirming training program offered by its philanthropic arm, public records show. The American Medical Association (AMA) Foundation launched an LGBTQ medical fellowship in 2021 that offers up to $750,000 grants to academic medical centers to provide “affirming” medical education that trains young doctors to become child sex-change advocates, initiate cross-sex hormones and care for sex-change surgical patients, records show. Top academic medical centers across the country, including the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Harvard Medical School, Vanderbilt University...

ASHLAND, Ohio (WJW) – Ashland County Sheriff Kurt Schneider said an investigation is underway after buttons that contained comments about President Trump, such as “Is he dead yet” and “One day, we will wake up to his obituary” were on display at the “Ashland County Democrats” booth at the Ashland County Fair on Thursday. “I will be contacting the U.S. Secret Service tomorrow,” Sheriff Schneider told the FOX 8 I-Team. “Violence shouldn’t be tolerated in any way, in any venue in any jurisdiction in the United States and it certainly won’t be tolerated here in Ashland County.” According to an...

Maybe you spent time last week perusing X postings related to Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Aside from the many accolades, conservative influencers did fine jobs identifying left-wingers who not only celebrated Kirk’s assassination, but offered attaboys to Tyler Robinson, the triggerman. Some even called for more violence. If you didn’t have time earlier, scroll through the Libs of TikTok’s and the Vigilant Fox’s threads, for starters. You’ll get an eyeful. “Somebody had to do it” wasn’t an uncommon refrain. Who, this side of hell, delights in an act of murder? What was striking was that many of the posts featured females....

The death of an outspoken conservative American was only a matter of time. The coming conflict remains unavoidable. This is incomprehensible to conservative Americans. We think America is indomitable; no American in his right mind would ever deny freedom to embrace Marxism in any form. But we’re fatally naïve, because we don’t understand how ideas build nations and tear them apart. America is caught in a war of competing ideologies, and we don’t know how these wars work. We were too busy enjoying endless prosperity to learn that America, like any other nation, rises and falls based on the ideas...

The first three (technically four) weeks of the college football season have come and gone, with Ohio State, Penn State, and LSU continuing to notch victories as they maintain their spots as the nation's top three teams in the latest AP Top 25 poll. In other rankings news, Texas A&M jumped into the top-10 this week while Notre Dame—now 0-2—fell 16 (!) spots to No. 24.

"I’m still on the phone, and my daughter-in-law told me these were the first words out of my mouth, ‘No, no, no, no, no,'" Turek said. "If your son got hit, what would you do?… I got in the car because if there was any way I could save him, I had to do something." Turek and the security team jumped into the SUV that they used to travel to the event and sped to a hospital while performing CPR and praying. "Charlie's so tall, we can't close the door," he said. "We drove four miles… all the way to...

In their first home game since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the Buffalo Bills honored the murdered far-right political commentator. Prior to kickoff of their game on Thursday Night Football, the Bills posted a graphic with his name and his birth and death dates while also cycling through images of the TurningPoint USA founder and his family. Somber music played out as reporters on the ground noted that a few people stood for the display.

The Tube no longer feels safe. Violent attacks on the platforms and carriages of the London Underground are soaring. So are theft, harassment and indecent exposure – and, most concerning of all, sexual assault. But instead of stepping up police patrols or increasing the presence of staff, Transport For London [TfL] is dumping the responsibility for safe travel on to the public, its passengers. Like countless others who ride the Tube every day, I have been physically assaulted while using the service – as I shall explain.

The perpetrator arrived at Allenby Crossing from the Jordanian side at around 3 p.m., driving a truck transporting humanitarian aid intended for the Gaza Strip. Upon his arrival, he opened fire at soldiers at the crossing with a handgun, before the truck could be inspected, a preliminary military investigation found. He then got out of the truck and, after his gun apparently jammed, stabbed the two soldiers repeatedly until security guards at the crossing opened fire at him, killing him.

The Trump administration is preparing to designate transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, two national security officials tell me. “We're looking at the entire spider web for any of these attacks,” FBI director Kash Patel told the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, when asked about shootings by trans individuals. “They,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said after the Kirk murder, are “putting this crazy ideology in our schools,” echoing the growing view of many in Trump’s inner circle that a “cult of gender ideology” is behind an explosion of violence by some as yet unidentified...

With little chance of NATO membership for Ukraine, the country’s Western allies have bought into an alternate strategy for helping it repel Russian aggression: invest billions in Ukraine's weapons industry so it can better defend itself. If the strategy works, Ukraine's weapons industry will eventually be able to help equip U.S. and European armies, too, with cutting-edge drones and other military technology being developed in the midst of its war with Russia. “The Ukrainians are the leaders in the world in terms of drone technology,” Keith Kellogg, the Trump administration's special envoy for Ukraine said last week at a conference...

Generational power dynamics are why we’re in this position. I’m a late Gen-Xer. By some accounting, I’m an early Gen Y/Millenial. I refuse to be lumped into that group of individuals, personally, but that’s not why I’m writing this. Growing up, our parents pressed us to reach for our dreams. I think every good parent would want that for their kids, but I believe every generation’s motivations for that message are different. The Greatest Generation wanted their kids to not repeat the mistakes of the world at the turn of the 20th century. So many died for freedom, and the...

Rosie O’Donnell was caught ranting in a bar in Northern Ireland about Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension from his late-night show on ABC, eyewitnesses told The Post. The one-time co-host of ABC’s left-wing chat show The View unleashed another unhinged tirade against her longtime nemesis President Trump at the Old Commercial Bar and Lounge near the Northern Irish town of Downpatrick on Thursday, according to multiple sources. “Now Trump gets to decide who tells late-night jokes,” she griped during a 20-minute drinking session at the pub, which is nicknamed by locals as “Mannie’s” after the 158-year-old tavern’s original owner, according to sources....

A long line of left-wing celebrities and members of the Hollywood elite have jumped to their social media to decry ABC’s decision to shelve comedian Kimmy Kimmel after her spread disinformation about Charlie Kirk’s killer on his ratings-challenged late-night show. None of these supposed “free speech” advocates spoke up when conservatives were cancelled for far less. Several celebrities, comedians, and others who still have an X account, blasted ABC’s decision and urged people to stand up for the biased, far-left, late-night talk show host. Two members of the Hollywood elite decried this supposed attack on Kimmel’s free speech and both...

Former President Barack Obama is whining about cancel culture after the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s show following the disinformation Kimmel broadcasted after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. “After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like,” Obama said on X, sharing an article on the suspension of Kimmel’s show. He added, “This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies...

Liberals are not liking it that Jimmy Kimmel lost his megaphone after telling vicious lies regarding Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Fox News reports that defending decency from Kimmel evokes “disdain and disgust” among Democrats: “I’m not sure who deserves more disdain and disgust: Trump and the FCC for their blatant violation of the Constitution or Disney and Nexstar for sacrificing their values and folding to a wannabe Mob Boss and his authoritarian goons,” Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., reacted On behalf of the liberal establishment media, Brian Stelter squeaks, “[T]his really does have a chilling effect across the American media.” When it...
