LG Electronics’ Australian operation has declined to disclose the extent of the downturn in its local television business, following comments from its South Korean parent at CES that weak consumer demand — particularly for TVs — was a major factor behind an expected quarterly loss. The company is reportedly set to post a loss of approximately A$169 million for the most recent quarter, traditionally one of the strongest periods for consumer electronics manufacturers. LG has been steadily losing ground to arch rival Samsung in the OLED TV segment and continues to struggle to remain competitive in the LED market. While...

In the West, they're building mosques, while in Iran they're tearing them down. In an outpouring of Islamophobia, pro-democracy protesters in Iran have been accused of burning down as many as 30 mosques. Video has shown the Al-Rasool Mosque in Tehran being set on fire on Friday, a ‘holy day’ for Muslims, in a show of troubling ‘Islamophobia’ which Iran’s Chief Islamic Judge warned would result in “maximum punishment”. That’s saying something for a regime which already chops off fingers and rapes female protesters before executing them. It’s unknown what occasioned this ‘Islamophobia’ from protesters. Perhaps it was the generations...

Newsweek reached out to FIFA for comment via email. Why It Matters While there have been some World Cup boycott pushes in recent months, some over the cost of tickets, there are now renewed calls due to growing unrest, immigration fears, and the Trump administration's moves on the international stage—including President Donald Trump saying on Thursday night that the U.S. is “going to start now hitting land” and targeting drug cartels "running...

“In [Christ] we have redemption” (Eph. 1:7). Slavery to sin is bondage; slavery to God is freedom. Freedom is a precious thing. People throughout history have prayed, fought, and even died for it. Our Declaration of Independence upholds it as one of our inalienable rights. But the truth is, no matter what one’s political situation might be, everyone is a slave—either to sin or to God. Jesus said that “everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin” (John 8:34). Paul added that all of creation is in slavery to corruption (Rom. 8:21). However, believers have “been freed from sin...

A Minnesota state audit reveals that government employees fabricated and backdated documents to cover up massive mismanagement of taxpayer funds.

An Indiana band delivered the national anthem before the Peach Bowl, which saw No. 1 Indiana face off against No. 5 Oregon in a high-stakes matchup with a College Football Playoff berth hanging in the balance. The national anthem performance was somewhat unconventional: rather than featuring a celebrity or solo performer, the Indiana band commanded center stage. The rendition generated mixed reactions across social media. "The National Anthem should have been a combination of the bands from both schools. IMO," one critic posted. "Gotta be the worst damn National Anthem I've ever listened to," another college football fan commented. It...

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. We now know West Midlands Police banned Jewish away fans from attending a football match in Birmingham because they feared the wrath of local armed Islamists. Then they lied and blamed the Jewish fans. It’s almost a week since the Chief Constable of West Midlands Police, Craig Guilford came before the Home Affairs Select Committee and was confronted with the evidence amassed by my tenacious colleague Nick Timothy. He obfuscated and dissembled and was humiliated and disgraced. We’re still waiting for him to resign, or be sacked by...

Donald Trump has ordered his special forces commanders to draw up a plan for the invasion of Greenland - but is being resisted by senior military figures, The Mail on Sunday has learned. Sources say that the policy 'hawks' around the US President, led by political adviser Stephen Miller, have been so emboldened by the success of the operation to capture Venezuela's leader Nicolas Maduro that they want to move quickly to seize the island before Russia or China makes a move. British diplomats believe that Trump is also motivated by a desire to distract American voters from the performance...
