SNAP beneficiaries have expressed outrage on social media over the government shutdown that could affect their grocery benefits starting next month, and some are even threatening to ransack stores if food stamp payments don’t go through starting Nov. 1. "It is the taxpayer’s responsibility to take care of my kids," one emotional mother said in a video posted online. "It is the taxpayer's job to pay for my kids to eat and for my kids to be taken care of." The same woman also complained about how none of her TikTok followers had sent her money, warning she would block...

In view of the simplicity of the prophetic outline, of the requirements of the prophecy, and of the apparent fulfillment that has been herein described, only one conclusion seems possible, namely, that 538 and 1798 are indeed adequate dates wherewith to begin and end the 1260 days of prophecy, and that, in fact, they are so to the exclusion of all others.

The AWS crash was a warning shot: our hyperconnected world runs on fragile code, overworked defenders, and blind trust—and one real cyberattack could bring it all down. We are just concluding Cybersecurity Awareness Month, though this year’s reminder felt more like a warning flare than a celebration. The message is clear, however. Our digital infrastructure is hanging by a thread, and we just got a glimpse of how thin that thread really is.Just weeks ago, the world’s largest cloud provider, Amazon Web Services, suffered a massive outage that paralyzed everything from retail transactions to smart-home devices. The failure was traced...

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) repeatedly cursed at law enforcement officials at Charleston International Airport on Thursday, calling police “f***ing incompetent” and berating Transportation Security Administration personnel, according to the incident report.

Mace chose to use an access lane intended for flight crew members, a smaller checkpoint that is part of the Known Crewmember program and overseen by TSA. Officers from the Charleston County Aviation Authority Police Department, who expected her...

The Snapanese, a normally reliable Democratic constituency that depends on what the vernacular refers to as food stamps, may ‘Pearl Harbor’ progressives after their month-long recalcitrance on re-opening the government.The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides an average of more than $350 per recipient household a month. The welfare program pays for milk, eggs, apples, and other groceries at the supermarket, which frees up funds, for those so inclined, for scratch tickets, neck tattoos, and meth pipes.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Looking back on her five-decade career in public service, Hillary Rodham Clinton can count numerous accomplishments and successes from her tenure as U.S. secretary of state, first lady, U.S. senator and other roles as a leader and advocate. But what would she do differently? Without hesitation, she said it would be the 2016 U.S. presidential election. “Obviously, I’d win,” Clinton declared to a packed house in Brown’s Pizzitola Sports Center during the University’s 104th Stephen A. Ogden Jr. ’60 Memorial Lecture on International Affairs on Thursday, Oct. 30. “I should caveat that — I’d win...

In an awesome raid out in California, the Department of Justice arrested ten suspects who are accused of attacking federal immigration authorities. The ten arrested are accused of attacking federal officers during riots regarding attempts to lock up illegal aliens in and around Los Angeles over the summer. As background, the Trump Administration has prioritized cracking down on illegal aliens in sanctuary cities across the country, such as Chicago, Portland, and Los Angeles. As part of that, ICE has been fighting against rioters who have attempted to block them from doing their job and arresting illegal aliens. Amongst the most...

President Trump on Friday evening responded to a judge’s ruling on SNAP benefits. More than 40 million Americans rely on SNAP benefits, and the $5 billion emergency fund was not enough to cover the program for November. Unions and nonprofit groups filed a lawsuit against the US Department of Agriculture earlier this week ahead of the November 1 cutoff. Funds for the SNAP benefits are drying up because Schumer and the Democrats refuse to vote for the clean CR bill to reopen the government. US District Judge John McConnell, an Obama appointee, ordered Trump on Friday to use the emergency...

Two federal judges on Oct. 31 said the U.S. Department of Agriculture is legally required to use emergency funds to pay out food stamps benefits during the government shutdown. The Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program’s (SNAP’s) funding was set to lapse on Nov. 1 because of the government shutdown, potentially affecting the food security of more than 40 million Americans. A federal judge in Rhode Island ruled from the bench that the program must be funded using at least the contingency funds. U.S. District Judge Jack McConnell also asked for an update on progress by Monday.
