Once again, a YouTuber is making headlines for doing something incredibly stupid. This time, it also happens that their actions are unbelievably evil to boot. Jesse Ridgeway, also known by his online alias McJuggerNuggets, and his wife made the fateful decision to murder their child in the womb simply because their child would’ve been born with Downs Syndrome. “As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family,” Ridgeway said about murdering his child. “Thankfully, we had a choice. It will take a little time to move on, but we...

President Donald Trump's restoration of the Great Reflecting Pool on the Washington Mall and the many fountains throughout the District of Columbia is really a metaphor for what is happening all over the country. Trump is succeeding at Making America Great Again. The president posted via Truth Social on Friday, "The Great Reflecting Pool, that stretches between The Lincoln Memorial and The Washington Monument, just opened to 'rave reviews' but, maliciously or not, some say, like The Washington Post, it was a 'paint job.' This was not a paint job. This was highly sophisticated material, industrial strength, that could last...

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has terminated several analysts responsible for drafting a notorious 2023 memo that smeared traditional Catholics as potential domestic extremists. Under Director Kash Patel, the agency took decisive action Friday, firing four intelligence analysts and one supervisory analyst tied to the document originating from the Richmond field office. This move marks a significant shift from the Biden-era FBI’s pattern of viewing faithful Christians with suspicion while downplaying real threats elsewhere. The memo, which relied on Southern Poverty Law Center data and other questionable sources, wrongly conflated devout Catholics adhering to historic Church teachings with violent radicals....

Retired four-star Gen. Jack Keane said enough with the diplomatic charade — Iran is stalling for time and the best solution is to resume full-scale war. The chairman of the Institute for the Study of War and former Army vice chief of staff on Friday blasted eight weeks of fruitless talks as a waste while the mullahs play games. “We have to accept the reality that’s just not going to happen,” Keane said on Fox News. “They have one motive: Stretch out negotiations as much as possible, get as close to the political situation in terms of midterm elections, and...

"Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God..." - 2 Peter 3:11-12 - σπεύδοντας instead of hastening (hurry) can be translated also to desire earnestly. It comes from the heart's desire that Jesus Christ our redeemer come soon and free us from this body of death, to complete His work in us. Hastening (Greek speudo “hurry [by extra effort]”) The coming of the day of God suggests that, by living holy lives, Christians can actually affect...

Yes, friendly nations absolutely spy on each other, and it is a common, widely acknowledged practice in global intelligence. [1, 2] Why Allies Spy on Each Other Verifying Intentions: Allies need to ensure that public agreements match private political intentions. Economic Advantage: Nations monitor friendly rivals for trade secrets, technology data, and negotiation strategies. National Security: Tracking radicalization, weapons development, or domestic instability within a friendly border protects the home country. Strategic Hedging: Foreign policies change quickly, so nations maintain intelligence assets in case an ally changes its stance. [3] Historic and Modern Examples The Five Eyes Loophole: The US,...

MAKING ASSUMPTIONS A story making the rounds this past week told of a policeman who was heading home after a long, hard day on patrol. He had dealt with a whole succession of difficult people, and a mountain of frustrating paperwork. All he wanted at this point was to kick back, unwind, enjoy some peace and quiet, and maybe watch a few innings of baseball on TV. But, as he neared home, he was startled by a vehicle that came careening around a sharp curve and narrowly missed his squad car. As the car passed within a few inches...

The LA Mayor race is all but over. Nithya Raman destoys everyone in Sat 6/6 vote drop. 23,514 Raman 19,312 Bass 10,336 Pratt She is now only 7,500 votes behind Pratt and might make them up in the next drop. Very odd that she continues to gain on Bass.

And the latest numbers were a major win for Raman. Going into this update, my estimate was that Raman needed to outperform Pratt by roughly 11 percentage points in the remaining vote to have a realistic chance of catching him. Instead, she did much better than that. Raman gained 23,115 votes in Friday’s update, compared to 10,711 for Pratt and 20,419 for Bass. In a single ballot drop, Raman netted 12,404 votes on Pratt. Put another way, she received more than twice as many votes as Pratt in this batch.

Water has mass, and mass has leverage. Move enough groundwater from aquifers onto farms, into cities, and eventually into the ocean, and Earth’s spin changes by a measurable amount. The shift is tiny on a planetary scale, but the number still grabs you: between 1993 and 2010, researchers estimated that groundwater depletion nudged Earth’s rotational pole by about 31.5 inches. The figure comes from a 2023 study in Geophysical Research Letters, which estimated that humans depleted about 2,150 gigatons of groundwater between 1993 and 2010. When researchers added that water movement to their polar-motion model, the model lined up much...

Raised in the rural Montana community of Big Sandy, Jeff Ament got hooked as a teenager on skateboarding at a time when not much more than only a handful of ramps were available in the state. Ament's first love was a “terrible” clay wheel skateboard and his passion blossomed on a family trip to California, where he skateboarded and felt the g-forces on urethane wheels on paved asphalt streets and then poured through the pages of Skateboarder magazine on the 20-hour drive home to Montana. Ament found pictures of decks and ramps that he used as inspiration for designs that...

A blue-glowing spider was only the first clue. Deep in Angola, scientists uncovered a hidden world of species still waiting for names after long trek. A crowned crab spider that glows bright blue under ultraviolet light. An armored cricket that can squirt defensive fluid. A ladybird orb-web spider that mimics a toxic beetle. These are among the dozens of species potentially unknown to science discovered during a February 2026 expedition to Angola’s remote Lisima plateau. The survey, called the Cassai Life Atlas, was conducted by The Wilderness Project, an organization founded by South African explorer Steve Boyes. The team of...
