Tampering with federal election results is against the law, and a new study by Unite4Freedom exposes an explosive problem—federal election records of the vote are changing after the election has been certified. Is this Malice, ignorance or pathetically pervasive Apathy (MIA) by our election officials?

KEEPING THE FAITH The only survivor of a shipwreck washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stung with grief and...

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was a larger-than-life figure. Which is why it’s hard to believe that Friday, Feb. 13, 2026, marks 10 years since his passing. Often viewed as a chief pioneer of the modern originalist movement, Scalia was instrumental in laying the groundwork necessary for restoring proper jurisprudence to an institution that had swayed from its intended purpose. With his crafty wit and skilled penmanship, the Reagan appointee authored some of the most thought-provoking and memorable legal opinions in the court’s recent history. Encapsulating the best moments from Scalia’s nearly 30-year Supreme Court career into one article is...

A long-running Pride Month event known as “Gay Days” at Disney World has been placed on pause for 2026, with event organizers citing a sponsorship loss and other logistics challenges. “After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to pause the GayDays Orlando event scheduled for June 2026,” Gay Days event organizers announced on Sunday. “Changes to our host hotel agreement, the loss of key sponsorship support, and broader challenges currently impacting LGBTQIA+ events nationwide made it impossible to deliver the experience our community deserves,” they added. Organizers went on to insist, in a ChatGPT-esque banality, “This is a...

23-year-old French nationalist who suffered head injuries after Antifa thugs beat him has now died. The man, identified as Quentin, was reportedly part of an informal security group defending a protest outside a political conference near Sciences Po in Lyon. The group was defending members of Collectif Némésis, a right-wing pro-women organization. Quentin was attacked while attempting to protect the group amid confrontations with members from an “anti-fascist” group known as Jeune Garde. According to the French outlet BFMTV, police said tensions began around 6:40 pm when opposing groups gathered. Roughly 50 people were involved in the altercation, and two...

Richie Greenberg, one of the plaintiffs suing San Francisco over its reparations fund, claimed the measure is divisive because it solely favors Black residents. "It is dividing the city rather than trying to unite. So, what we really need is to be focusing on how to uplift everybody rather than focusing on one group giving everything to that one group. And then everyone else is then responsible for paying for that one group," Greenberg told Fox News Digital. Greenberg formerly identified as a Republican and currently identifies as a centrist-conservative Democrat. The city was sued over its reparations fund on...

A group of Redwood High School’s ASB students in Visalia are under investigation for a “homophobic slur” photo incident on Thursday on school campus. LGBTQ advocates condemn those actions. “Let’s be clear: this is not a harmless joke,” said The Source LGBT+ Center in Visalia in a statement Friday afternoon in response to the incident. “Incidents like this reinforce stigma, normalize hate and send a painful message to LGBTW+ students.”

Whenever a man or woman, boy or girl comprehends what Almighty God has done for them in love and God has hold of their hearts, the child of God (John 1:12) can only seek the same selfless agape love for others in SPIRIT and TRUTH (John 4:24). Jesus stated that by this action (i.e., showing agape love) the World will know that He loves us (John 13:34-35; John 17:21-23). In marriages where agape love is applied in the relationship, please try to tell me how that marriage will not thrive in such an environment with regard to companionship, intimacy, etc.?...

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday questioned Russia's seriousness about ending the Ukraine war, as Washington pushes for a swift peace deal. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Rubio said the conflict was approaching its fifth year and that there was still no clarity over Moscow's willingness to negotiate.

INDIANAPOLIS — The man who raped, stabbed and murdered a 19-year-old Indianapolis woman over 30 years ago will now spend nearly 50 years behind bars. Dana Shepherd, 53, was sentenced on Friday to 45 years in prison. Van Huss was raped and stabbed 61 times by a man who broke into her studio apartment. After first being discovered by her father, police said they found her nude body lying in a large pool of blood. “We hope after all this time people understand how violent my sister’s murder was,” Jimmy Van Huss said in 2024. “She was raped and stabbed...

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., is continuing his streak of breaking with his party — this time on voter ID legislation gaining momentum in the Senate. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Senate Democrats have near-unanimously rejected the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, election integrity legislation that made its way through the House earlier this week. Schumer has dubbed the legislation "Jim Crow 2.0," arguing it would suppress voters rather than encourage more secure elections. But Fetterman, who has repeatedly rejected his party’s messaging and positions, pushed back on Schumer’s framing of the bill. "I would never refer to...

In Roman mythology, Cupid usually appeared as a winged infant carrying a bow and a quiver of arrows. Cupid’s arrows would induce wounds of inspired love or passion in all of his victims. Cupid is frequently invoked as a fickle, playful, and deviant (perverse) individual. Cupid sounds much like the lewd and licentious mainstream pop star artists of our day! Eros is the Greek name for this being and also the Greek word for love (i.e., LUST), which describes the unbridled sexual passions of fallen man (Rom. 1:24, 28, 29). The sole desire of Eros love is to find self-gratification...

Bethesda, Maryland -- A former Laurel police chief on Friday was sentenced to 55 years in prison for setting three fires at two Clarksburg properties owned by his stepson and daughter-in-law between 2016 and 2020. David Michael Crawford, 74, of Ellicott City, is already serving two consecutive life sentences plus 75 years for similar crimes he committed in Howard County. He is also implicated in several other arsons across Anne Arundel, Charles, Frederick and Prince George’s counties between 2011 and 2020, according to prosecutors. The fires targeted people known to Crawford and his wife, including several of Crawford’s former coworkers...

A 36-year-old Lebanese man in Malmö has been charged with two counts of assault after allegedly attacking both his wife and a doctor at the health center where she works as a nurse. According to prosecutors, cited by the Samnytt news outlet, the woman sought treatment at her own workplace in early December after suffering a head injury that required stitches in an alleged assault by her husband, 36-year-old Salaheddine Hamze. Colleagues became concerned when she arrived bleeding and in shock, although she initially denied that her husband was at fault. Investigators later concluded she had been struck with an...

Over a year has passed since the world saw the terrified face of Arbel Yehoud forced to walk through a baying mob of Hamas terrorists to freedom. Only now does the 30-year-old feel strong enough to reveal that this sickening spectacle was just the last act in a monstrous campaign of abuse unleashed throughout her 482 days held in Gaza.

Speaking at the 2026 edition of the Munich Security Conference, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the UN has "tremendous potential," but needs reforms to be of real use.

Lee Marvin had a reputation for being a great interview, obliging the press who expected the ultimate movie tough guy with more than they expected. His agent, Meyer Mishkin, said that Marvin gave his best performances for the press, going so far as to play with a knife during interviews. "Most people only wise up when they are down on the floor with the blood everywhere," was one such gem. In another he said that despite their brutality, he didn't think his films had a bad influence on the audience. "The Shirley Temple movies are more likely to do that;...
