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.

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...
