However, he also argued that the world must embrace a future where controversial gene-edited foods are commonplace on supermarket shelves. He said we will soon be eating meat and drinking milk from animals whose evolution has been ‘sped up’ using technology. This could include cows and chickens bred to resist disease and grow faster, as gene editing techniques make them ‘more efficient’ in every way. Experts are working out how to ‘accelerate’ the selection of traits that already occur naturally within an animal, he explained. Scientists have bred cows with ‘elite genetics’ that could see tastier steaks, burgers and mince...

On February 22, 1732, George was born to Augustine and Mary Ball Washington. He spent most of his childhood at Ferry Farm on the Rappahannock River. All of the homes and plantations where Washington lived were maintained by enslaved labor. When George was eleven, his father died and he became a slave owner. As a result, George did not receive a formal education like his older half-brothers. Instead, he helped his mother on the farm and attended a local school in Fredericksburg. For the rest of his life, Washington supplemented his education with reading and self-guided study. At seventeen-years old,...

According to him, the elimination of the Jewish political structure is described in religious sources as an event to be led by the Iranian people. He added that with the Mahdi’s reappearance,...

The Supreme Court tried to disarm Trump's tariff revolution. Treasury Sec. Bessent declared Hamilton's system the foundation of sovereignty. Meanwhile, 60 nations answered Trump's call at the Board of Peace. One system is dying. Another is born. Susan Kokinda argues Trump’s response to the Supreme Court tariff ruling points beyond China to “foreign interests” tied to British Empire's Adam Smith free-trade ideology, defended by the US Chamber of Commerce and Cato Institute. She cites Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Ambassador Jamieson Greer framing the administration’s approach as Hamiltonian economic sovereignty, and says tariffs will continue under other laws, including a...

Conservatives are furious that JPMorgan Chase closed Donald Trump's personal and business bank accounts following the January 6 attack on the Capitol in 2021. Chase, America's largest bank by assets, was forced to admit closing the accounts after Trump launched a $5 billion lawsuit last month against the bank and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. Steve Guest, a former communications aide to Republican Senator Ted Cruz, said in a social media post that Dimon 'has some serious explaining to do'. SNIP Documents released Friday as part of the discovery process showed that Chase sent Trump two letters on February 19, 2021,...

"Having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ" (Phil. 1:11). Bearing spiritual fruit is the acid test of a true believer. After facing life-threatening situations, people often say, "I saw my entire life flash before my eyes." That's the picture we get in Philippians 1:11. "The fruit of righteousness" refers to what is produced in you as you operate in love, pursue excellence, and maintain your integrity. It includes every attitude and action consistent with God's standard of what is right. "Having been filled" speaks of something that happened in the past with continuing results....

Iran’s Foreign Ministry announced on Saturday that it has designated the navies and air forces of all European Union (EU) member states as terrorist organizations, the Xinhua news agency reported. The move was described as a response to the EU’s recent decision to label Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organization, which Tehran called “unlawful and unjustified." In a statement, the ministry said the EU decision is “in contradiction with the fundamental principles and rules of the United Nations Charter and international law." The statement added that the Iranian government acted in accordance with a 2019 law, under...

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche took to social media Friday to fire a U.S. attorney newly appointed to his post by judges, further engulfing the leadership of one of the most important prosecutor's offices in the country into uncertainty. Hours after the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia unanimously appointed James Hundley, an attorney with 35 years of experience to the role -- which was vacated after the appointment of President Donald Trump's handpicked attorney was deemed unlawful -- Blanche announced his termination with a snarky statement. "Here we go again. EDVA judges do not pick our...
