LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB+WAVE) — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear was in Louisville teaching Sunday school at a local church and provided an update on a possible presidential run. Beshear visited St. Stephen Baptist Church as a special guest teacher for its Men’s Day Sunday School Class. While at the event, Beshear spoke about a possible presidential run and his recent book, “Go and Do Likewise: How We Heal a Broken Country.” During an interview with WDRB anchor Gilbert Corsey, he was asked about the book and how it reads almost like a cover letter for the highest office in the country....

President Donald Trump is unveiling Monday plans for a massive steel plant in Iowa that the White House says will be the largest in American history and promises to bring 1,750 permanent jobs to the state. The roughly $15 billion steel plant is touted as a major new investment and evidence that Trump's economic agenda is bringing heavy manufacturing back to the U.S. with just over a month until the midterms. It will create between 5,000 and 6,000 construction jobs during its first phase. Trump is expected to make the announcement from the Oval Office at 2 p.m. alongside executives...

Mr. Will Johnson@WillTheRealDeal·15hWhy is it a problem for a free Black man to love his country? Why would people go out of their way because a Black man decided to think independently?Have you noticed that White Conservatives are the ones who want Black people to succeed, not the socialist left? Everything I’ve said is true, and many of you can’t help but say hateful things.I’m never going back! Let that sink in.

In this video, we dive deep into a controversial and urgent topic facing many congregations today. We look closely at the biblical definition of the Jezebel spirit, how it manifests in modern worship and leadership, and the critical warning signs every believer needs to recognize. This isn't about judgment—it's about discernment, spiritual warfare, and protecting the sanctity of the church. 👇 What do you think? Have you witnessed these behaviors in churches today? Let’s talk in the comments below.

Several people requested a slow version of "Juke Joint Blues." Here it is.

Beloved; Jan Markell and Michele Bachmann talk about current issues including the recent globalist gathering at the U.N., the rush to one-worldism, and the isolation of Israel. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Maranatha ✌️🫡

The back cover copy of the celebrated book, The Limits to Growth, by Donella H. Meadows, et al. begins as follows: When each of us decides to buy something, we first consider the price. Yet society at large has long bought the idea of continual growth in population and production without adding up the final reckoning."The final reckoning" sounds a little terrifying, doesn't it? The Christian often thinks of "the final reckoning" as the Last Judgment: that moment when the human soul stands alone before Christ, the Just Judge. All his faith, thoughts, and deeds are weighed in the balance...

There was a time when California built big things efficiently. In the 1930s, for example, the state simultaneously constructed the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and Bay Bridge — both marvels of engineering — in about a four-year span. Both on time. Both on budget. Those days are gone. Today, examples abound of California construction projects gone (way) awry. One of those is the long-awaited People Mover at LAX. The project’s contractor, LAX Integrated Express Solutions, disclosed this month that the train — intended to whisk people around LA’s famously sprawling airport — will not open in October as most recently...

They came by night from all over England. Hundreds of men in black, their faces hidden by black balaclavas, descended on the ports of southern England. At dawn on Sept. 5, as many as 200 men seized the rotaries on the approaches to Britain’s busiest port, Dover in Kent. The men in black took the police by surprise. For four hours, they blocked the highway to London and disrupted England’s lifeline to the European continent. The next night, they descended on Southsea, near the Royal Navy base at Portsmouth, Hampshire after a British lifeboat landed a “mega-dinghy” of 140 illegal...

I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing this in the last several years or if others have noticed this as well. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone whenever I talk to medical provider offices. The level of communication skills is just in the gutter. I get ghetto-level schedulers and other personnel who can barely speak English, or who don't speak clearly into the phone. Not at one provider only, but with ALL the providers I deal with. And their knowledge of their jobs is just as abysmal. It's like I went to a Walmart cashier to...

Larry Alex Taunton@LarryTaunton·22hPassing time in a tightly packed airport coffee shop recently, I ended up in conversation with a thirty-something couple sitting only inches from me. I was coming from Mexico City and they were going there. After the usual banter, I asked where they were from and learned they were New Yorkers moving out of that city. They didn’t offer a reason and I didn’t press for one.They asked me what I did for a living and I explained that I was a writer currently investigating how cartels were smuggling people into the US. I say I was chatting...

Sayer Ji@sayerjigmi1/ 86% of Americans told the Washington Post they want every Epstein file released.Nearly 3.5 million pages already are. But the problem is that almost no one has read or thoroughly evaluated them.I’ve spent nine months reading them, with my team. Here is what’s in the public record, with the documents:Sep 27, 2026 Sayer Ji@sayerjigmi·Sep 272/ The files are not mainly a story about one man’s crimes, though those are documented and monstrous.They show finance, philanthropy, science, and state power operating as one, with a convicted predator at the switchboard for a decade after his 2008 conviction.My primary conclusion...

On any given day in San Francisco there’ll be thousands of people out on the street walking their dogs, but only one day a year when you’ll see humans wearing the leashes instead of holding them.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Newbern, Tennessee man charged with the kidnapping and attempted rape of a little girl this week was indicted in 2020 for the rape of a 95-year-old in the same community, according to the Newbern Police Department. Steven Devonte Harris was arrested Thursday after allegedly kidnapping a 10-year-old girl from her home in Newbern. She was able to escape and get help. But it wasn’t the first time he has been accused of a sex crime. Police said on the morning of November 27, 2019, a man forced his way into a Newbern residence, stole several items,...

Explanation: What color is the universe? More precisely, if the entire sky were smeared out, what color would the final mix be? This whimsical question came up when trying to determine what stars are commonplace in nearby galaxies. The answer, depicted here, is a conditionally perceived shade of beige. In computer parlance: #FFF8E7. To determine this, astronomers computationally averaged the light emitted by one of the larger samples of galaxies analyzed: the 200,000 galaxies of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. The resulting cosmic spectrum has some emission in all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, but a single perceived composite color....

The first child euthanized in the Netherlands was a 1-year-old child, according to the Dutch government. In June 2026, Health Minister Sophie Hermans revealed that a child under the age of 12 died from euthanasia at the end of 2025 due to severe illness, marking the first case of its kind. Now, according to a new report from the committee that reviews all late-term abortions and medically assisted deaths of children, officials confirm the child was “almost 24 months” old at the time of their death. The child was reportedly born prematurely at just 26 weeks, leading to serious complications...

The Education Department has approved a plan to cut federal loans to college programs that result in low-earning jobs - a move the Trump administration sees as an opportunity to rein in runaway borrowing, while critics argue it is a blow to students seeking degrees in such fields as music, public service and religious studies.

Jewels Jones ®@JewelsJonesLive1.) A House Democrat filed 26 articles of impeachment against President Trump on Thursday. Then a different Democrat went on NBC Sunday morning and told you, out loud, which Republican he does this with. 💎🧵 Sep 28, 2026·Jewels Jones ®@JewelsJonesLive·5h2.) The filing is Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee, House Judiciary, September 24. Twenty six articles. His own press release calls Trump "the most impeachable President our country has ever endured." Jewels Jones ®@JewelsJonesLive·5h3.) The articles read like a wish list. Sowing doubt in elections. Waging war on Iran without Congress. Extrajudicial killings in international waters off Venezuela.

The Trump administration is using taxpayer funds to air a television advertisement from Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign in the latest in a series of ads promoting the president ahead of the midterms that the White House maintains are “public service announcements.”The 30-second video, which is virtually identical to one that aired in 2024, shows Trump walking down a hallway as his voice can be heard warning of a “final battle” against “globalists” and “warmongers.” The black-and-white video ends with Trump staring straight into the camera lens with a message that says: “Paid for by the U.S. Government.” The 2024...
