Iran’s president said on Saturday the country is facing a full-scale confrontation with the United States, Israel, and Europe, describing the pressure campaign against Tehran as more complex and damaging than the Iran–Iraq war. “In my view, we are in an all-out war with the United States, Israel, and Europe; they do not want our country to stand on its own feet,” Masoud Pezeshkian said in an interview with the Supreme Leader’s official website.He said the current war is worse than the Iraq war in the 1980s. “If one understands it properly, this war is far more complex and more...

More than 20,000 immigrant truck drivers will be able to keep their licenses in California, at least temporarily, despite efforts by the Trump administration and the state of California to revoke them, according to a tentative ruling Wednesday in Alameda County Superior Court. The decision puts the state of California in a bind. The U.S. Department of Transportation already has repeatedly pushed the California Department of Motor Vehicles to rescind these licenses, which belong to many asylum seekers and other immigrants with temporary legal status, after the federal government found alleged clerical issues regarding the expiration dates on their licenses....

The IDF launched a surprise attack on Iran on Saturday morning, with Iranian state media reporting explosions have been heard in Tehran.

An animal will chew its own leg off to escape a trap. Likewise, even a corporation as historically woke as Target will pay whatever it costs to escape its downtown Minneapolis headquarters as the area swirls down a maelstrom of moonbattery into ruin. Via Newsmax: For nearly five years, almost one million square feet of former Target office space in downtown Minneapolis — where the retail giant is headquartered — have sat largely vacant, even as Target continued paying rent, The Minnesota Star Tribune reports. The George Floyd race riots presumably played a role in the area’s second largest employer...

The Roman ideology of slavery is not racialized. It's not like the Romans think that the Greeks or the Germans are like some fundamentally separate kind of human that justifies their exploitation. The Roman ideology of slavery is really rooted in the law of property and status. So they think that slaves are people who've been conquered and rather than killed, they've been spared and they've been sold into the condition of being somebody else's property. And this seems to mentally explain to them where their slave system comes from and why it's justifiable. It's sort of like disturbing in...

Clinton denied knowing who the woman was and told lawmakers under oath he did not have sexual relations with her, according to a source familiar with his testimony. The photos...

"Joyously giving thanks to the Father" (Col. 1:11-12). Joyous thanksgiving acknowledges God as the giver of every good gift. The inseparable link between joy and thanksgiving was a common theme for Paul. In Philippians 4:4-6 he says, "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! . . . Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." He told the Thessalonians to "rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thess. 5:16- 18). As...

Former President Joe Biden joked about his age and shamelessly bragged about his record on illegal immigration during a rare post-presidency speech on Friday. “I’m getting pretty old,” Biden, 83, told the crowd in South Carolina, after he needed to pause his speech to cough. “Forty times two, plus a lot more.” Biden repeatedly insisted that voters shouldn’t be concerned about his age in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election. The former president dropped out of the race about a month after a disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump – which he blamed on a cold and not his...
