Since President Trump initiated strikes on Iran’s theocratic, totalitarian regime two weeks ago, members of the so-called “religion of peace” have been carrying out revenge killings across the United States. On March 1, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Senegal wearing a “Property of Allah” hoodie opened fire on patrons having fun at an Austin, Texas, beer garden. He killed three Americans and injured a dozen more before being put down. When feds searched the shooter’s home, they found an Iranian flag and pictures of Iranian leaders. There was a Quran in the killer’s vehicle. On March 7, two Muslim men...

President Trump called on a host of other countries, including Britain, France, and China, to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz to end a de facto Iranian blockade on the shipping of oil through the strategic waterway. It was far from clear, however, whether any countries would volunteer to patrol the strait, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil transits. Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said on Telegram that the strait “is open to everyone, except American ships and those of its allies.” In practice, however, the oil shipped through the passage is coming from either Iran...

The controversial American influencer Tucker Carlson published a new video yesterday in which he claims that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is preparing to submit a criminal referral against him to the U.S. Department of Justice. Carlson, known for his sharp criticism of Israel and U.S. President Donald Trump, claims the move stems from conversations he held in Iran before the outbreak of the current war. According to him, the procedure is being considered because of discussions he had with people in Iran before the war. In the video, he said: “So, the other day I found out that the...

The designers behind Hollywood’s grandest stage pulled back the curtain on their green-themed inspiration for the Oscars dais. The stage for the 98th Academy Awards show resembles a garden courtyard, with overhanging tree branches and other floral touches meant to provide a feeling of zen. “There is an unsettled nature around the climate right now, and there’s just something very calming about being surrounded by architecture, but having this space for trees to grow,” Oscars production designer Alana Billingsley told Vanity Fair of the stage’s theme. The stage for the 98th Academy Awards show resembles a garden courtyard, with overhanging...

We’ve grown used to the media’s joining with the Democrats to attack every move by the President, but it is still something to watch the lies and distortions about the war in Iran where the press smears the troops in the middle of battle. Using the latest technology and working closely with the IDF and IAF, our military has achieved the most remarkable, unpredicted achievements in a matter of days. On the other hand, most major media coverage denigrates this accomplishment and regrettably advocates for our enemies. The week began with reports that the Department of War wasted money buying...

Iranian officials threatened to “pursue and kill” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as Israel unleashed a round of extensive missiles towards western Iran Sunday morning. “If this child-killing criminal is alive, we will continue to pursue and kill him with full force,” Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps wrote online about Netanyahu, according to the Associated Press, citing the state-run IRNA news agency. The threatening pledge was made days after the 76-year-old Israeli leader declared that the US and Israel were destroying Iran and reshaping the Middle East. “We are in historic days, days that will be recorded in the annals...

I have never posted over here so if I'm in the wrong place doing the wrong thing the wrong way, I apologize - please advice, not flame. Since Apple paid $2,000,000,000.00 (yes, that's two billion dollars) for the sole rights to broadcast F1 races live I decided to break my no Apple rule and do the 7 day trial.

One year after Elon Musk began an unprecedented attempt to eliminate swaths of the federal government, newly released deposition videos are providing a never-before-seen look at two of the people responsible for the largest mass termination of federal grants in the National Endowment for the Humanities' history. In lengthy depositions, two DOGE employees -- Justin Fox and Nate Cavanaugh -- defended the effort to cut "useless agencies" as part of DOGE's attempt to reduce the federal deficit. "You don't regret that people might have lost important income ... to support their lives?" an attorney asked Cavanaugh about the grant cancellations....

Eight reported Bigfoot sightings were logged across Ohio in just four days, a surge experts say hasn't been seen in the region in nearly 50 years. An expert with the Bigfoot Society podcast, hosted by Jeremiah Byron, said a possible 'flap' - a sudden cluster of Sasquatch sightings within a short time span - may be unfolding across Ohio. Each witness, Byron said, is a local familiar with rural Ohio wildlife, and all described similar sightings: large, black-haired creatures with long arms, walking upright and making 'grunting noises.'

Following him is Tom Steyer, a billionaire Democrat, with 13% support. Former Rep. Katie Porter, current Rep. Eric Swalwell, both Democrats, and Chad Bianco, the Republican sheriff of Riverside County, are tied with 11% support. Even with a June primary election approaching, the governor’s race remains crowded, and polling has been...

"Hallowed be Thy name" (Matt. 6:9). Prayer should always exalt God. The Disciples' Prayer illustrates the priority that God should hold in our prayers. Jesus began by exalting the Father: "Hallowed be Thy name" (v. 9), then requested that the Father's kingdom come and His will be done (v. 10). He concluded with an anthem of praise: "For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen" (v. 13). His prayer literally begins and ends with God. "Hallowed be Thy name" exalts the name of the Lord and sets a tone of worship and submission that is...
