“Jesus said to him, ‘Go; your son lives.’ The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started off. As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his son was living. So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. Then they said to him, ‘Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.’ So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, ‘Your son lives’; and he himself believed and his whole household. This is again a second sign that Jesus performed...

The Arab states that screamed “genocide” at Israel were simultaneously deepening security ties with the IDF — because they all knew it was a lie. WASH POST Arab states expanded cooperation with Israeli military during Gaza war, files show David Kenner October 11, 2025 Even as key Arab states condemned the war in the Gaza Strip, they quietly expanded security cooperation with the Israeli military, leaked U.S. documents reveal. Those military ties were thrown into crisis after Israel’s September airstrike in Qatar, but could now play a key role in overseeing the nascent ceasefire in Gaza. Over the past three...

Last month..artists.. signed a petition pledging to not work w/ Israeli ... Boldface signees included John Cusack, Joaquin Phoenix and director Ava DuVernay. This week, those three have simply shared videos criticizing Trump and the peace plan. I expected a huge celebration from Stalter’s “Hacks” co-star Hannah Einbinder, who literally wore an “Artists4Ceasefire” pin to the Emmys and used her win to scream: “Free Palestine and f–k ICE.” After this week’s news, she initially posted a video of her decrying Zionisim as a betrayal of Judaism and a sad meme about the Eagles losing to the Giants. By Friday night,...

Unveiling the Bias: How Israel's Systems Favor Arabs Over JewsThe provided sources argue that Israel’s legal, social, and administrative systems exhibit preferential treatment toward Arabs over Jews, particularly in religious freedom, construction, land allocation, legal enforcement, and access to resources.1. Religious Freedom and Access to Holy SitesIn a Jewish state, Jews face unjust restrictions on accessing and praying at the Temple Mount, their holiest site, due to court rulings prioritizing Arab sensitivities over Jewish religious rights (Weber, 2006; Weiss, 2023). Weber notes that the Supreme Court, under Aharon Barak, limited Jewish access to avoid Arab unrest, undermining the fundamental right...

The Supreme Court just handed President Trump one of his biggest wins yet that's already serving as the legal nuclear weapon that will obliterate the administrative state. In the decisive 6 to 3 ruling, the justices shattered nearly a century of protection that kept unelected bureaucrats safely beyond presidential reach. Now, what this means is that this isn't just another legal victory. It's basically the death certificate for the deep state's century long strangle hold on American government.

The organizers of the Nobel Peace Prize are investigating whether insiders used privileged information about this year’s winner to profit on crypto prediction market Polymarket, according to local reports.

DALLAS - The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has paused what would be the country’s first execution for a murder conviction centered around shaken baby syndrome. Robert Roberson, a 58-year-old from Palestine, Texas, was convicted for the death of his 2-year-old daughter, Nikki Curtis, in 2002. He has maintained his innocence the entire 23 years he has spent on death row. This is the third time lawyers have been able to delay his execution as many question the science behind shaken baby syndrome and whether Roberson was given a fair trial as an undiagnosed autistic person. Gretchen Sween, the attorney...

Deutsche Bank analyst George Saravelos said AI spending is offsetting other economic headwinds. He recently said that without the huge capex from Big Tech, a recession would be more likely. However, he also said there are key questions about what happens when the spending spree ends.AI spending has grown to be so enormous that it might be a driving force for the entire economy, not just an engine for stock-market gains. In a note on Tuesday, George Saravelos, Deutsche's global head of FX research, argued that if US tech companies hadn't dramatically ramped AI capex this year, the economy would...

And according to a recent LegalZoom survey*, 62% of what will be left behind is anticipated to be real estate or property.But rising home maintenance costs could pose a problem for younger generations.For instance, property values have increased “almost 27% faster than inflation since 2020,” per the Tax Foundation. And with higher home valuations, heftier property tax bills typically follow.So will the inherited wealth be enough to support the higher costs of...

According to research, high glucose levels may serve as a biomarker indicating a worse outcome in patients who have experienced their first acute myocardial infarction. The study demonstrated that glycemic variability, particularly glycemic delta, is associated with the size of the infarction and a reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). LVEF shows the strength of the heart's contraction; if it is reduced, heart failure may result. Based on a sample of 244 individuals, the study concluded that higher glycemic delta is associated with worse myocardial damage, regardless of whether the patient has diabetes. Glycemic delta is obtained by calculating...

"They're taking Lloyd Dobyns off" That's how I felt about the move by NBC to introduce its new live Saturday night show bi-weekly alongside the newsmagazine "Weekend". "Weekend" was a show I had enjoyed during the previous 1974-75 season every week. I liked watching Lloyd Dobyns and his attempt to bring some attitude to television news... I read about this newfangled NBC Saturday Night Live show in the newspaper much hype about the reunion of Simon and Garfunkel which came on the second show in the series later in October. In all honesty I didn't watch the first show and...

Sir Sadiq Khan has been called a “disgrace” after he suggested that protesters who chant “From the river to the sea” were not anti-Semitic. The slogan is frequently chanted at pro-Palestinian marches, despite claims that it envisages the destruction of the state of Israel. The Mayor of London said that whether the phrase was anti-Semitic or not depended on the context in which it was spoken. He made his comment during Mayor’s Question Time at City Hall on Thursday, a week after protests that took place on the evening of the Manchester synagogue attack. Susan Hall, the leader of the...
