James Carville, known as the "Ragin Cajun" for his raucous demeanor, claimed every member of Trump’s administration except top adviser Stephen Miller "hates" him. He delivered the remarks on the Politicon YouTube channel he shares with journalist Al Hunt. "However bad you think this is, however much you see people in your own inner circle, in your military, in your staff, in your Congress, attorney on you, it's just starting," Carville said. "You know how miserable you're going to be in November? You know, how f---ing miserable you are? Tens of millions of American people get a chance to tell...

..without disks? It's a unique program that I bought ~30 years ago. PC Study Bible. I bought the original version and have paid for the upgrades plus optional add ons. The owner/operator passed and PC Study Bible ceased to exist. Now I want the ability to transfer the program in its entirety from one PC to another.

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem 🇮🇱(2/25/26)[Prayer]A New Study For A New Year: PersonalitiesGenesis 29:16-31 16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured. 18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. 19 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. 20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and...

A prolific waste criminal has been ordered to pay £1.2m in compensation for illegally dumping more than 4,000 tonnes of waste across England. A nationwide investigation by the Environment Agency (EA) uncovered a network of 16 illegal dumping sites, including a manor house in Surrey, a farm in Cambridgeshire and a warehouse in Kent. The total weight of the waste dumped was about 4,275 tonnes – roughly the weight of 600 African elephants. Varun Datta, 36, was handed a four-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months. He must also pay £1.1m, reflecting the financial benefit from his crimes, plus £100,000...

The scope and depth of the evil now coming into plain view across the Western world defies comprehension. More baffling still is the fact that, in many cases, the West brought this evil upon itself. Monday on the social media platform X, British politician Rupert Lowe, Member of Parliament for Great Yarmouth, posted a “Statement from the Rape Gang Inquiry” filled with shocking details of police behaving as “active perpetrators” in the extreme sexual abuse and murder of young British girls “predominantly perpetrated by Pakistani-heritage men.” Lowe’s statement described testimony from a survivor of Pakistani rape gangs whose ordeal began...

Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjorn Jagland was reportedly hospitalized last week following a suicide attempt, days after he was charged with gross corruption linked to his relationship with late convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to a media report Tuesday. The news was first broken by iNyheter which cited a “rock-solid source” confirming that Jagland’s condition remains serious. The specific medical facility treating the 75-year-old statesman has not been disclosed. The former Nobel Peace Prize Chairman is in critical condition after facing “gross corruption” charges linked to the Epstein case, according to iNyheter. Jagland is one of Norway’s most...

Ben Walker is a New Statesman data journalist who runs an election forecasting model Britain Predicts and he has had a go at forecasting the result in Gorton and Denton. The model is not a poll; it uses polling data, but then adjusts the figures on a constituency by constituency basis taking into account a range of factors. It has performed well in the past but, in his write-up of his final forecast, Walker says the result here is “anyone’s guess” because the Greens, Reform UK and Labour are so close. Walker thinks there could be just a few hundred...

Donald Trump faced-off in-person with Supreme Court justices who ruled against his tariffs last week. The four justices who attended his State of the Union address were forced to remain stoned-faced as the president berated them in front of a joint session of Congress, administration officials – and the world. The president tore into the decision right after sharing cordial handshakes with the four justices seated in the front row of his State of the Union address on Capitol Hill on Tuesday. 'Just four days ago, an unfortunate ruling from the United States Supreme Court. Oh, very unfortunate ruling,' Trump...

I think the idea of Trump accounts, to allow tax free savings for specific self-funded social benefits that aren't taxed, is the way to go. It always has been. Keep them reasonable, so the billionaire class can't sock away billions of dollars of untaxable income but allow it high enough so that it can provide for the average person so that he self-supports himself and isn't supported by the taxpayer. As long as the account is used for the specific purpose intended, any drawings from it remain tax free. However, if it is drawn for other purposes, it becomes taxed...

The lefty student government at a local California university rejected a proposal that would grant its student body free subscriptions to The New York Times, citing issues with how The Times covered major world-happenings. “The New York Times has historically been a little bit problematic and controversial in their reporting and in their journalism,” student official Alya Hassan, who voted against the proposal, told the Fresno Bee. Hassan referenced its coverage of Israel and Gaza as one example, adding the organization lacked journalistic integrity for avoiding words like genocide, ethnic cleansing and occupied territory in its reporting. The paper has...

As nearly half of U.S. adults say they’re actively trying to drink less, the non-alcoholic aisle has become crowded with options that promise ritual without consequence. The problem is that many of them taste like cough syrup or some other kind of compromise. Wine, in particular, has historically struggled in this category. As a professional product tester, I can attest to my own disenchantment with non-alcoholic wine, to the point that I’ve covered it maybe once before. You can remove the alcohol, but can you preserve structure, aroma and the layered character that makes wine worth pouring in the first...

A Maryland squatter posed online as a financial adviser, but was actually living off food stamps and sending her 16-year-old daughter out to work instead of school, while hiding out in a $2.3 million mansion, according to a report. Tameika Goode, 40, who recently returned to the ritzy, 7,500-square-foot home in the suburbs of Washington, DC, presented herself as a bankruptcy expert, flogging $800 courses online and sharing social media posts of her Porsche. In reality, however, she was a squatter, living on a total monthly income of $946, which included $538 in child support and $408 in food stamps,...

"So that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects" (Col. 1:10). Your manner of life should be consistent with Christ’s. In Colossians 1:9 Paul speaks of being controlled by the knowledge of God's will. In verse 10 he speaks of walking in a manner worthy of the Lord. There is a direct cause-and-effect relationship between those verses. When you are controlled by the knowledge of God's will, you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord. The Greek word translated "walk" means "to order one's behavior." It's a common New...

The furious NYPD on Tuesday released photos of a pair of miscreants it says are wanted for pounding two on-duty cops with snow and ice as the officers responded to a snowball-slinging mob in a Manhattan park. The department is investigating whether there are more suspects in Washington Square Park attack, as well, law-enforcement sources said. One of the suspects in the photos released Tuesday is shown hauling a massive snowball the size of a boulder over his head. The other alleged cop-attacker can be seen packing a smaller handful of snow while standing face-to-face with a uniformed officer. The...

Your iPhone calendar used to remind you about dentist appointments and dinner reservations. Now? It might be screaming that you’ve “won a prize” — or worse, that your device is infected and your bank account is toast. Welcome to the latest digital headache: a calendar con that’s turning Apple users’ schedules into spam central, per Newsweek. Cybercrooks have figured out a sneaky way to blast iPhones and iPads with bogus alerts — no shady app download required. Instead of slipping malware onto your device, scammers trick users into unknowingly subscribing to rogue calendars. Once you’re in, they’ve got a direct...

Zohran Mamdani’s socialist pals wrap their proposals in the most innocuous language possible. So when activists rally in Albany on Wednesday to pressure lawmakers to raise taxes, the Democratic Socialists of America claim the bill it backs would “create new brackets starting at $1 million” so that “they pay a slightly higher share in taxes.” Sounds fair. It’s also a lie. Sponsored by Assemblyman Demond Meeks and State Sen. Robert Jackson, the tax increases actually start at half that. For individual incomes over $450,000, and joint incomes over $500,000, the state tax rate would be raised by a point to...

Lauren Chapin, who portrayed the precocious Kathy “Kitten” Anderson on the iconic 1950s TV series Father Knows Best, has died. She was 80. Chapin, who said she was molested as a child before dealing with drug abuse, jail sentences, several miscarriages and divorce after her show ended, died Tuesday after a battle with cancer, her son, Matthew, reported on Facebook. Following appearances on a 1952 episode of CBS’ Lux Video Theatre and in the Judy Garland-starring A Star Is Born (1954), Chapin was hired for Father Knows Best when she was 9. She said she got the job in part...

President Donald Trump hit it out of the park (again) with his 2026 State of the Union address, perhaps his most remarkable speech yet. The frame was an unabashed celebration of America in its 250th year, hailing heroes from the Olympic hockey champions to 100-year-old veterans — and with a close reiterating why the nation’s best days are yet to come. He was the happy warrior we’d asked him to be, with a strong clear message untainted by grievance — even as he expressed his disappointment with last week’s Supreme Court ruling on tariffs and drew clear distinctions between his...
