Israel and his CompanionsThe full title is, well keep reading…Ezekiel 37:15 The word of YHVH came again unto me, saying, 16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions: 17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not...

Health officials are warning that confirmed cases of measles may have spread at this year's National March for Life rally and concert in Washington, D.C. Thousands of anti-abortion demonstrators converged upon the National Mall and other locations in the nation's capital for the annual event at the end of January. The DC Department of Health says it's working to identify people who are at risk. "DC Health was notified of multiple confirmed cases of measles whose carriers visited multiple locations in the District while contagious," the agency said in a press release on Sunday.

With no actual proof informing the public one way or the other about D.B. Cooper's survival, we have to make arguments using circumstantial evidence. For years the biggest piece of circumstantial evidence used against his survival might turn out to be the biggest indication of his survival. Just my two cents.

When it comes to our origins, there are two basic possibilities: either reality is the product of intentional design, or it arose through unguided natural processes. Every person, consciously or not, adopts one of these views, and the choice is foundational. It shapes how we interpret the world, whether we see purpose in life, and how we understand its meaning. Given its significance, this question deserves careful and sustained attention.Yet most of us do not approach it as a blank slate. Our culture and educational institutions have largely made the choice for us. Historically, belief in a creator was the...

Awhile back, I covered U-166. A submarine rather famous for her sinking in the Gulf of Mexico. And, of course, the way her wreck is so deeply buried on the bottom. Today, we'll be looking at another U-Boat lost off the American coast. This time the East Coast, in the form of U-576. A much smaller Type VII boat, though far more intact than her larger cousin. This submarine was sunk in...strange circumstances, to say the least. Leaving a mostly intact wreck on the bottom, in the modern day. One with all the features of her class still recognizable, at...

A lone gray wolf padded quietly into Los Angeles County before dawn on Saturday — and made history. State biologists say the female wolf may be the first documented in Southern California in 100 years, after the apex predators were wiped out across the state by eradication campaigns aimed at protecting livestock. The last known wild wolf in California was shot on June 12, 1924, by federal trapper Frank W. Koehler in Lassen County. The three-year-old female, known as BEY03F, was spotted on a trail camera in the mountains north of Santa Clarita.

On June 8, 1967, the Israeli military machine-gunned, bombed and torpedoed the U.S.S. Liberty, an American vessel floating off the Sinai Peninsula, killing 34 service members. Those facts are not in dispute. But almost everything else about the attack is driving a wedge through the MAGA movement. On one side are prominent voices like the podcaster Ben Shapiro, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Rich Lowry, editor in chief of The National Review. They insist the attack on the Liberty was a tragic case of mistaken identity amid the chaos of the Six-Day War, a conclusion shared by a U.S....

Super Bowl LX kicks off at 6:30 PM ET from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, featuring the New England Patriots against the Seattle Seahawks in what promises to be an epic showdown. The Patriots, led by young quarterback Drake Maye, are looking to add another Lombardi Trophy to their storied franchise history, while the Seahawks - playing without injured starting QB Bo Nix - are relying on backup Jarrett Stidham to lead them to victory. This marks a rematch of sorts for these franchises, though with completely different rosters than their previous Super Bowl meetings. NBC has the broadcast...

Astronauts headed into orbit — and toward the moon — will soon be able to bring their personal smartphones along for the ride. NASA announced this week that crews assigned to upcoming missions, including Crew-12 and Artemis II, will be allowed to fly with modern smartphones, marking a shift from longtime rules that required astronauts to leave personal devices behind while living aboard the International Space Station. In a post on X, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said the change is meant to help crews document historic moments and stay connected with loved ones back on Earth. ... Until now, astronauts...

The Seahawks’ decision to throw the ball from the 1-yard line, instead of opting to run the ball with Marshawn Lynch, in Super Bowl XLIX is one the most scrutinized plays in league history. As a result of the questionable play call, Russell Wilson’s slant pass was intercepted by Patriots defensive back Malcolm Butler, sealing the 28–24 victory for New England. …. The 71-year-old coach laid out the rationale for the club’s ill-advised decision to not run the ball. “It wasn’t like by design. There was no agenda. That play just happened,” stressed Carroll. “You guys couldn’t hear for years,...

"The market has indicated this is not investment-grade debt." It’s 2026, and tech companies continue to insist they need to spend staggering amounts of money on AI data centers. Yet for all of its enthusiasm over the past few years, Wall Street is finally starting to squint at the numbers. According to new reporting by Business Insider, JPMorgan Chase is running into trouble finding investors interested in servicing billions in debt backing two of the first five Stargate data centers. Stargate is Donald Trump’s $500 billion AI project led by tech companies Oracle and OpenAI. Its vague goal, OpenAI has...

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) on Sunday pushed for Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to resign after his name appeared in files linked to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “Trump’s Commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, said that he and his wife decided around 2005 to cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein,” host Manu Raju said on CNN’s “Inside Politics.” “But the latest release shows that there was some correspondence after that, even after Epstein pleaded guilty to sex crimes in 2008. What questions do you have about Lutnick’s ties to Epstein, and should he come before Congress and testify?” Raju asked. “No, he...

Thieves don't need a key to steal a carSince the 1990s, most cars have had coded keys containing an electronic microchip which is paired with an engine immobiliser. It was meant to make it hard to steal a car without the key - but that didn't stop these thieves. How did they do it? The police officers who came to my home told me about something known as a "relay attack". It works like this. One thief stands close to the property, near an area where the car owner is likely to keep their keys - usually the kitchen or...
