🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (9/9/26)[Prayer]PersonalitiesPsalm 18[a] For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord. He sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: 1 I love you, Lord, my strength. 2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield[b] and the horn[c] of my salvation, my stronghold. 3 I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and...

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, were “surprised” by a letter sent on behalf of King Charles III that confirmed they remain nonworking members of the royal family after their return to Britain, a spokesperson for the couple told NBC News on Tuesday. Buckingham Palace released the letter Monday, reiterating that Harry and Meghan remained nonworking royals as they have since they stepped down from royal duties in January 2020. A palace source said the letter was issued to clarify the unchanged position of the couple for the British government and military amid questions over whether the public...

The Crimean Tatars often carried out predatory raids into Polish territory. Sometimes they did this together with the Ottoman army or Zaporozhian Cossacks. The Polish government paid a high annual tribute to the Tatars to prevent their raids. Despite these efforts, the early modern Crimea was full of slaves from Poland. Not all of these, however, were of Polish ethnicity: among the enslaved inhabitants of Poland were also the Ruthenians (Ukrainians), Lithuanians, Jews, and Armenians. According to the account of the Dominican friar Francesco Piscopo (the 1660s) Polish was second in importance language of the Crimea after Ottoman Turkish (Turc...

he NAACP is asking some of America’s best black high-school football players to consider withholding commitments from public universities in eight states because of congressional redistricting. Current athletes are encouraged to consider transferring and using their NIL platforms to support the cause. The slogan is direct: “No Representation. No Recruitment. No Revenue.” The campaign followed the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision striking down Louisiana’s intentionally created second majority-black congressional district as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. Rather than leaving that dispute in the courthouse and statehouse, the NAACP is asking black athletes to carry it into their college choices, campuses, and locker...

The November midterms will determine whether the country keeps advancing under President Donald J. Trump. The alternative is Democrats dragging her backward into the abyss of malicious weakness and willful disorder. Republican voters who sit this cycle out will hand power to a party that has been seized by its most radical elements. Those elements make no secret of their contempt for the country that virtually all Trump voters still love. Democrats, from city halls to Capitol Hill, now answer to young activists who call themselves “democratic socialists.” Their warped worldview treats the majority-white West as a thief that stole...

The View came back from a summer hiatus this week and dove head first into campaigning for the Democrats in the 2026 midterms. Among the conversations on the show today were, invoking the 25th Amendment on President Trump, and voting for the Democrats because, according to host Whoopi Goldberg, 'our lives literally depend on this.' This type of open electioneering for one side is why The View has come under a microscope with the FCC. ABC News is not supposed to do this, but they allow The View to do it all the time. Transcript via NewsBusters: BEHAR: Let me...

* Whale gut gunk got a luxury rebrand. * “Animalic” is doing some heavy lifting on that label. * Ambergris is whale doo-doo with excellent PR. ============================================================= That’s One Way to Smell Expensive At first glance, this highly coveted lump looks like something you’d step around on the sidewalk, not gleefully spray all over your body. VIDEO AT LINK........... In a TikTok from One Bold Chemist, this guy slices into it what’s described as “whale poop, worth over $10,000.” All of a sudden, the black gloves make sense. He’s talking about ambergris, a waxy material that forms inside sperm whales...

The "good thief" of Luke 23 was not executed for simple thievery. In the context of first-century Roman Judea, simple theft was never a capital offense. [1, 2] To understand why he was crucified, it is necessary to look at the specific language of the Gospels and the nature of Roman provincial law. [2, 3] The Greek Terminology: Beyond Simple TheftWhile Luke 23:32 uses the general plural noun kakourgoi (κακοῦργοι), which translates to "criminals," "evildoers," or "malefactors," the parallel accounts in Matthew 27:38 and Mark 15:27 use a much more specific word: lēstai (λῃσταί). [4, 5] What it does not...

Let’s start with the obvious: “Basket of deplorables” is a weird turn of phrase. There are baskets and there are deplorable people, but pairing the two is the oddest of linguistic odd couples. Hillary Clinton said those three words in the final months of her 2016 presidential campaign, making rhetorical and political history. There were two kinds of Donald Trump supporters, she explained: Voters who feel abandoned and desperate, who she placed in one metaphorical basket, and those she called “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and Islamophobic” — her “basket of deplorables.” Trump — the same man who announced his candidacy...

A Manhattan hooker from hell who killed three johns when she fed them fentanyl to rob them — leaving one victim dead with his pants at his knees — pleaded guilty Tuesday and now faces up to life behind bars. Tabitha Bundrick, 39, copped to the “calculated” killings of the three men, who she robbed of anything she could get her hands on before fleeing across Upper Manhattan. Bundrick will be sentenced to 27 years to life in prison after copping to three murder charges and a separate charge for drugging another person who survived the attack, according to Manhattan...

What do a cashless society, cryptocurrency, biometric technology, and microchips mean in light of Bible prophecy? In this compelling message, Dr. David Jeremiah explores how economic trends may point toward the last days and the future world system described in Scripture. Drawing from Revelation 13, 2 Timothy 3, Hebrews, and other key passages, this teaching examines the mark of the beast, the rise of financial control, growing inequality, and the coming influence of the Antichrist and false prophet. Dr. Jeremiah also explains how believers should respond now by counting the cost of discipleship, standing confidently in God’s presence, and learning...

he Women’s National Basketball Association has recently brought a lot of absurd troubles on itself because its own leaders are unable or unwilling to state the obvious truth: that a man is a man and a woman is a woman, and that not all the pretending in the world can alter the fact, even with hormone-pumping and mutilation and pinning the tail on the donkey. To shine a floodlight on the absurdity, a couple of male basketball players, over the hill in age, have submitted their names for the next season’s draft, insisting that they are women. Of course it...

Amy Acton, the Ohio version of Fauci, has struggled to gain traction and a widely circulated fair clip of her seemed to be showing a Howard Dean style meltdown. And then the media was suddenly ablaze with headlines claiming that an “armed attacker” had “lunged” at Acton and been taken down with multiple injuries.
