Lindsey Whiteside, 26, is the former youth minister at Getwell Church in Hernando, Mississippi. In 2024, she was arrested and charged with “sexual battery of a minor child by a person of trust or authority” after she groomed and had sex with a 14-year-old girl over a period of several months. While prosecutors demanded 30 years, she only received three years of house arrest and seven years of probation, causing an uproar in the community over the light sentence. This also prompted district attorney Matthew Marton to rebuke the judge in the case while declaring: “She used the gospel of...

Let's get EVERY Democrat - especially those in 50/50 districts to go on the record their position on Zohran Mamdani. "Do you repudiate Zohran Mamdani and his politics? YES OR NO?" He's a 'socialist' jihadist. Get them on record for future campaign ads. He's favored to win a major American city with no qualifications sending a signal of Jihad victory around the world. Let's get Democrats on record where they stand and make sure Zohran Mamdani is the face of their party for years to come as NY is headed for disaster if he takes power.

Jeremy Fair, the senior pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church in Tulsa, OK was arrested late last week in a prostitution sting after being nabbed allegedly meeting up with a prostitute for sex. A member of the Hills and Plains Presbytery, the married father of four was caught up in a sting staged by police, who also nabbed a firefighter who was set to be married the next day and a business owner who drove in from out of state. He was released on a $1000 bond. According to law firm Cannon & Associates “A conviction for prostitution in Oklahoma can...

Pregnancy resource centers across the country are expanding into full-service medical clinics to help mothers in need — and pro-abortion activists are responding with criticism. According to an Associated Press report, hundreds of pro-life centers — which are long known for offering free ultrasounds, baby supplies, and counseling to women in crisis — are adding services such as testing for sexually transmitted diseases, primary care, and prenatal treatment. The growth follows the Trump administration’s decision to cut Medicaid funding to abortion providers under the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which blocks federal funding for one year. As CatholicVote previously reported, Planned...

The possible foundation of a monumental Roman tomb has been unearthed in southern Germany, in what was once the Roman province of Raetia, according to a La Brújula Verde report. Situated next to a Roman road, the circular structure measures about 40 feet in diameter and would have supported an earthen mound, or tumulus, surrounded by a retaining wall. A square base that may have supported a stele or a statue was uncovered on its southern side. No human remains or grave goods have been discovered within the circle, however, suggesting that it may have been an empty tomb, or...

The commercial features an “expert” interrupting a white Danish couple as they flirt with each other. He explains to them that the history of war in Denmark introduced foreign DNA into their gene pool which “protected them from disease”. He then compares their relationship to inbreeding and suggests they find new partners with more “exotic” genetics. The woman then smiles as if she’s intrigued by the idea.

Conservative voters are now more than twice as likely to consider Brexit a failure for the UK (46%) compared to a success (22%). Of the 62% who say Brexit has been a failure, 80% point the finger of blame at Boris Johnson, who before he became prime minister was a high profile Leave campaigner. In 2019, he won a huge majority in a snap general election to “get Brexit done”. Bank of England governor Bailey has warned that Brexit will have a negative impact on the UK’s economic growth “for the foreseeable future”, highlighting a decline in the UK’s potential...

The "bucket drop", invented by a missionary trying to airdrop gifts to natives in Ecuador, would let warplanes release a swarm of drones and lasso them back. The warplane of the future is a drone mothership, able to dispatch swarms of small air-launched UAVs for close-up reconnaissance, to act as jammers or decoys, or even to carry out airstrikes. Those drones may be cheap enough to be expendable, but what if you want to recover them? The Air Force has the answer, using a technique developed by a 1950's jungle pilot and missionary. Researchers are now experimenting with ways to...

There's stupid, and then there's Democrat stupid. Now I don't mean stupid as in low IQ—although there are plenty of low IQ Democrats, the same applies to people from all walks of life. Instead, I mean "stupid" in the sense that one has priorities that don't align with any sane goals, but rather are driven by emotions and desires that bear no relationship to achieving them. There are lots of high-IQ stupid people in this sense. Democrats own a particular brand of stupid these days: emotional incontinence, which is expressed most commonly as Trump Derangement Syndrome. If Donald Trump is...

The Department of Homeland Security initially reported that hits had been put out on ICE agents, and now a massive hit has reportedly been issued for a top member of President Donald Trump's cabinet, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. A Minnesota man allegedly offered a reward of $45,000 to anyone who could deliver her "dead or alive." Our sister site Hot Air reported that a 29-year-old anarchist was arrested after the FBI got a tip about the wanted poster he allegedly made on TikTok that included a sniper ring in the middle of Bondi's head.🚨Tyler Avalos of MN accused of...

Late in World War 2, in the European theater, the Germans hit the Allied air forces with something new: Jet fighters. Chief among them was the Messerschmitt Me-262, a big, brutal twin-engine beast packing four 30-mm cannons. It was considerably faster than the American P-51 Mustang, generally considered the best piston-engine fighter in the air at the time. It was near-impossible to defeat in the air, but it was slow and cumbersome on taxi, vulnerable during takeoff and landing, and required a long runway.So we went after them when they were on the ground, destroying aircraft and bases alike. It...

A Culver City ice cream vendor who was detained by federal immigration agents earlier this year has returned home and resumed work after being granted permanent residency in the United States. Enrique Lozano, who has lived in Los Angeles for nearly 20 years, was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in June while selling ice cream along Culver Boulevard. His arrest, which left his cart abandoned in the street, prompted concern among residents who had known him for years. “It was a long, stressful time for sure,” said his niece, Kimberly Noriega, who helped organize efforts to...

Nigel Farage has likened masked Muslim protesters marching through the streets of east London to a 'foreign invading army'. The Reform UK leader today condemned the scenes of balaclava-clad men who declared they were 'uniting' while chanting a series of messages in Arabic. He revealed that Saturday's Tower Hamlets demonstration - which came after police banned a planned UKIP protest to 'reclaim' the area - was 'one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen in my life'. Many young men dressed in black, with hoods up and their faces covered, roamed the streets waving Bangladesh and Palestine flags where...

Several pilot unions and associations have issued statements calling for the passage of a clean continuing resolution (CR) in order to reopen the government and end the ongoing shutdown. Unions such as the Coalition of Airline Pilots Associations (CAPA), the NetJets Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots, the Allied Pilots Association (APA), and the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association (SWAPA), have issued statements calling upon lawmakers to support a clean CR, which Democrats have continued to oppose, according to USA Today. The statements from the unions come as roughly 13,000 air traffic controllers are currently working without being paid during the ongoing...

Will it be possible to treat severe kidney inflammation with fewer drugs in the future? A new study gives cause for hope. The researchers show that even low, repeated doses of steroids could be enough to stop inflammation in particularly aggressive crescentic glomerulonephritis (cGN). The findings could fundamentally change the treatment of many patients—and significantly reduce side effects. cGN is one of the most dangerous forms of kidney inflammation. Without treatment, it can lead to terminal kidney failure within a few weeks. The standard therapy to date consists of high doses of glucocorticoids (steroids), which strongly suppress the immune system....

New research has shown that a specially designed group singing intervention, Breathe Melodies for Mums, is an effective and acceptable way to treat mothers with postnatal depression. The SHAPER-PND project explores the impact of community-based group singing on maternal mental health, providing an accessible intervention that helps new mothers overcome the personal and societal barriers that can stop them seeking support. Approximately 24% of U.K. mothers experience postnatal depression, an illness typified by prolonged feelings of sadness or hopelessness following birth. For this study, 199 mothers experiencing postnatal depression were recruited to participate in sessions at children and family centers...
