Just a thought for this Christmas season. One of the greatest myths in all of Christendom is that Mary (Miriam) - the young Jewish girl of king David's line - who gave birth to the Savior of the world was sinless. I myself was taught this as a boy in the Catholic church and it wasn't till I was born again and started reading the Holy Scriptures for myself that I saw the true folly of such a myth. My dear friends, no greater lie could ever be told or fantasy ever believed! When this lie is embraced it derails...

VATICAN CITY — Catholics and Protestants around the world expressed concern this week, as Pope Leo XVI gave his recommendation that Christians pray the rosary while facing in the direction of Mecca. The pontiff made the proclamation after visiting Turkey and Lebanon, stating that not only should the West be less fearful of the spread of Islam, but all Christians should seek to live more peaceably by facing toward the holiest of Islamic sites when they pray the rosary. "This is an important step toward helping the Muslims conquer us all," Pope Leo said. "I do not think that Christians...

Marjorie Taylor Greene is leaving Congress, but not before one of the best investment runs ever by a sitting politician. …Several outlets have reported a pre-Congress net worth of $700,000 — a figure that appears to refer only to her stock holdings. Her 2020 disclosure makes clear she was already a multi-millionaire before taking office. …Greene will leave Congress in January with an estimated net worth of $25 million according to Quiver Quantitative (1). That’s a 33% increase in overall wealth — but the real story is in her stock portfolio, which has ballooned to an estimated $2.6 million to...

This is the terrifying moment a huge knifeman with a face contorted with rage stabbed a diminutive policewoman's head, leaving her with a bloody wound. PC Holly Matthews, who is 5ft 2in, bravely grappled with 6ft 4in Declan Diedrick after she and another officer were called to an address. In extraordinary scenes shown to jurors, she desperately tried to subdue the 25-year-old as they stumbled from the hallway and into the kitchen. They eventually tumbled out into the garden where Diedrick stabbed at the officer, narrowly avoiding her eye as he slashed above her ear. He was eventually brought down...

CALGARY - A Canadian pipeline boss led a new report advising the Trump administration on how to more quickly build new oil and gas infrastructure in the United States amid a push north of the border to do the same. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright requested the study on permitting from the National Petroleum Council, which includes 200 members he appointed from both inside and outside the oil and gas industry. The body was formed just after the Second World War. .... The fact that Wright gave the council five months to put together the report — work that would...

From London, another story about disgusting protesters: “‘Tax the rich’ activists vandalise Crown Jewels with crumble and custard.”Police arrested four people after officers rushed to the Tower following reports of an incident shortly before 10am.They found that food had been thrown onto a case containing the State Crown, which is used at coronations and state openings of Parliament.A group calling itself Take Back Power staged the attack, with members of the group filmed unfurling a sign reading: “Democracy has crumbled – tax the rich”.Anyone who thinks Britain’s problem is that it doesn’t sufficiently tax the “rich” is an idiot. And...

Those television shows featuring LGBT characters are being canceled right and left, and that means nearly half of all LGBT characters will be disappearing from television next season, a Protestia report revealed. The confirmation actually comes from GLAAD, a high-profile LGBT lobbying group. Among those departing will be 61% of transgender characters, the report said.

Gas prices across the United States have plummeted to their lowest levels in years, with many states seeing prices dip below $3 per gallon. Officials predict that prices could eventually fall to as low as $2 per gallon. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum attributed the drop to several factors, including the reversal of Biden-era regulations that had restricted access to public lands for oil and gas production. "The big thing, of course, that Biden did was basically try to shut down access to public lands," Burgum said. He explained that the previous administration's policies had discouraged investment and drilling,...

Actor Jim Caviezel is set to play imprisoned former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro in a new biopic. Caviezel, who starred as Jesus in Mel Gibson’s 2004 movie The Passion of the Christ, has reportedly already secretly filmed the new movie, titled Dark Horse, in Brazil for three months in 2025. The upcoming film is directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh and written by Brazil’s former Culture Secretary under Bolsonaro, Mário Frias. According to The Guardian, Dark Horse offers a “heroic” portrayal of the divisive Bolsonaro, who is currently behind bars. The right-wing politician served as president of Brazil between 2019 and 2023...

A new five-year offshore oil and gas leasing plan proposes 21 sales in Alaska, from the Gulf of Alaska to the High Arctic, and 13 more off the U.S. West Coast and in the Gulf of Mexico. .... Rep. Jared Huffman, D-California, was among a group of mostly California Democrats in Congress who blasted it during a news conference Thursday. “We are here because President Trump just put out what we believe is an asinine pro-polluter plan to open up our coast to offshore drilling,” Huffman said.

Alina Habba, a fiery Trump loyalist, is stepping down from her role as top prosecutor in New Jersey after an appellate court found last week that Attorney General Pam Bondi had improperly appointed her as U.S. attorney. Bondi announced Monday Habba would serve as the attorney general's senior advisor overseeing U.S. attorneys, while three Department of Justice officials are set to take on additional jobs overseeing various activities in the New Jersey court district in the wake of Habba's resignation. Habba served as President Donald Trump's personal defense lawyer before the president installed her this year as the temporary head...

President Donald Trump has signed a resolution backed by members of Alaska’s Congressional delegation to revoke restrictions on drilling in the National Petroleum Reserve on the North Slope. The White House announced Friday evening that Trump had signed Senate Joint Resolution 80 into law. SJR 80 uses the Congressional Review Act to reverse restrictions enacted during the administration of President Joe Biden. Those restrictions, imposed as part of a 2022 activity plan for the reserve, were intended to protect environmentally sensitive areas against harm from oil and gas drilling. ... Friday’s signing was one of several Trump administration actions taking...

The Supreme Court on Monday appeared poised to side with President Donald Trump and allow him to fire a member of the Federal Trade Commission without cause, a provocative move aimed at upending the long-standing concept of independent federal agencies. In a significant case on the structure of the federal government, the conservative-majority court heard oral arguments on whether Trump had the authority to fire Rebecca Kelly Slaughter notwithstanding a law enacted by Congress to insulate the agency from political pressures. The 1914 law that set up the FTC says members can be removed only for “inefficiency, neglect of duty,...

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators protesting outside the Consulate General of Israel in Los Angeles, Calif., Oct. 2, 2025. There are two kinds of antisemites in the world: Those that hate Jews and know it, and those that promote the hatred of Jews and don’t. I learned about both one tragic October day in 1983. And on another tragic October day 40 years later. I was the editor-in-chief of my college newspaper at the largest private college in New Jersey — Fairleigh Dickinson University—and my grandfather was of Lebanese descent, having come to America seeking a better life for his family. When 241...

David Zimmer told the appalling story of Adbimahat Bille Mohamed at AmericanExperiment.org. Briefly, Mohamed is a serial rapist. In 2017, he raped a 15-year-old girl. He was not charged in the initial investigation, but was later identified through DNA. In 2024, he raped another woman. These are some of the charges he faced:During the pre-trial phase of the May 2024 rape case, Mohamed’s DNA sample was entered into the DNA database. This test resulted in a match linking Mohamed to the 2017 rape of the 15-year-old girl in Minneapolis. The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office filed additional charges against Mohamed, adding...

Two musical pieces written by Johann Sebastian Bach were recently performed for the first time ever, more than 300 years after they were composed. Both written for the organ, they are believed to date from the great composer’s very early career, when he worked as a organ tutor in Thuringia. Germany’s Culture Minister Wolfram Weimer called the discovery of the two pieces a “great moment for the world of music.” Both pieces were unsigned and undated when they were found in the 1990s by Mr. Peter Wollny, a Belgian Bach researcher working at the Royal Library in Brussels. Entitled Chaconne...

The only word that fits when describing the Framers’ attitude toward protecting your property is “obsession.” Therefore, the first thing we must do, right now, is define exactly what the Framers meant by the word “property.” It absolutely and positively does not merely mean land, as many believe. Let us check with James Madison in a vitally important quotation that we will examine in full a bit later. A man’s land, or merchandise, or money, is called his property. Money is property…If you want some modern confirmations of that formulation, a Google search will reveal the truth of this in...

Kelsey Grammer has heaped praise on Donald Trump, who he believes is “maybe the greatest president” in history. The Frasier star is a prominent Republican who has been vocal about his support of Trump on many occasions since he entered politics. Now, in a new interview with Fox News Digital ahead of Trump hosting the Kennedy Centre Honors over the weekend, Grammer, who was in attendance at the ceremony, shared, “I think he’s extraordinary.” Grammer continued, “He’s one of the greatest presidents we’ve ever had. Maybe the greatest. There are some things he still wants to get done, and I...

There comes a point at which the velocity of stupid outpaces, and then laps, the rigors of reason. California is about to get lapped. Gov. Gavin Newsom and his leftist legislative supermajority and their union buddies have finally run out of other people's money. The left's fix for this is to chase away all the rest of the billionaires who still call California home by pushing a ballot initiative demanding a 5% retroactive wealth tax on the net worth of billionaires. The billionaires who still call California home are thinking about leaving. And it's all because the left prefers takers...
