Beloved, this dear brother is a solid Bible teacher and does an amazing job in this YouTube video teaching on who Jesus is as shared in Revelation chapter 1. Jesus IS the Head of the Church and tragically so many churches today know not this biblical Jesus and are seeking to replace Him with social programs and watered down biblical teachings. Jesus IS the risen ETERNAL Lord of EVERLASTING LIFE and the Head of the church His body (John 17:17; Col. 1:18). Beloved, be sure to check out Pastor Daniel’s biblical teaching videos as well and especially this one on...

There may be longer races, and there may be more prestigious races, but none require the intestinal fortitude — in the most literal sense — needed to complete the International Taco Bell 50k. The 9th annual edition of the ultra marathon in Denver gets underway this weekend, and it will see runners traversing just over 30 miles, while making pit stops at a minimum of nine of the ten Taco Bell locations along the route where they must order a menu item and finish it. And better yet, it's not sanctioned by the company. They're just out there for the...

They start out with "I agree with you 99% but..." This guy claimed 99.9%. It was 20 years ago we were coming on to these frauds.

As the university system increasingly becomes a wildly expensive bastion of anti-Western sentiment, key figures in Silicon Valley are betting on alternatives to higher education. They argue that even the Ivy League is no longer producing the best candidates — nor are they even accepting some of the most qualified students. “It used to be the case that you could rely on somebody who went to an Ivy or Ivy-equivalent to be top notch,” said Jordan Hirsch, who runs Palantir’s semester-long intensive Meritocracy Fellowship, which accepts high school graduates.“But that’s not the case anymore… we suspected that there was a...

A heavily pregnant woman has been left homeless after a council that houses more than 3,500 migrants refused her emergency accommodation, a charity says. Homeless Project Scotland posted on Facebook claiming the 34-week-pregnant woman, who said she had fled an abusive relationship in London, was snubbed by Glasgow City Council. The charity's chief executive Colin McInnes described her plight as one of the most 'horrific' he had seen. The shelter said it was 'extremely concerning' that the woman had no where else to go as Mr McInnes urged Prime Minister Andy Burnham to 'take back control' of homeless services from...

An Iranian man accused of being part of a hacking scheme that breached more than 150 US universities and companies while targeting data worth over $3 billion has been extradited from Montenegro to the US to face criminal charges, police in the European country and a person familiar with the case said Thursday. Amir Barati, 40, is expected to face wire and computer fraud charges in the US Southern District of New York, where he and 16 other Iranian nationals were charged in a superseding indictment in August. Montenegrin police arrested Barati, who is also a Turkish citizen, in June...

Thousands of noncitizens are losing eligibility Thursday for federally funded Medicaid thanks to President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, which was passed by Republicans and opposed by Democrats. It’s difficult to understand why the federal government admitted so many people who needed American taxpayers to support them in the first place. But what’s not difficult is understanding why Democrats unanimously opposed this legislation — and why it matters for the midterms. The One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) Act tightened eligibility requirements for Medicaid coverage. Medicaid is a taxpayer-funded health care program that should be for helping poor and disabled...

Lindsay Clancy was back in court Tuesday, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is prepared to try anything to keep his client — a mother of three who admitted to killing her children — from seeing the inside of a prison cell. In September, Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial when a lone juror — 48-year-old Michael Desronvil — refused to concede to his peers during deliberations. Desronvil, a Christian father, was not prepared to let Clancy off from the murder charges she faced. Reddington was not happy. According to KSWO-TV, he asked Sullivan to investigate Desronvil after the trial. People...

The 2012 diatribe against the “Pink Ribbon Lobby” was published in 2×2 Project, a journal sponsored by Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, when El-Sayed was working as a physician in training and social epidemiologist. Pink ribbons are often distributed every October as part of Breast Cancer Awareness month. “The breast cancer lobby has done an incredible job raising my ‘awareness’ of Breast Cancer—if I weren’t an epidemiologist, it would have me believing that the women around me were in imminent danger,” the future gubernatorial and Senate contender wrote in the essay, first reported by The Washington Free Beacon....

The family of a man who never attended Cornell University says it has faced threats and harassment after mistakenly receiving lawsuit papers intended for another Matthew Ingalls, a former student accused of participating in a fraternity gang rape. The family’s home address appeared on the official court docket, helping online users target the wrong Matthew Ingalls, according to The Free Press. Victoria Ingalls, the unrelated man’s mother, told the outlet she opened her door on Saturday night to find a man handing her a 101-page complaint intended for the other Matthew Ingalls, one of seven men accused of sexually assaulting...

Two Louisiana brothers are facing terrorism charges for their alleged role in a twisted scheme to fund Hamas under the guise of Gaza humanitarian aid – and they were brought down with the help of the NYPD. Abdel Adhami and his sibling Omar Adhami were busted in the Pelican State last month for allegedly raising money online and funneling it to Saleem Alzaq, a member of the terror group who regularly uses social media to post Hamas propaganda, according to newly unsealed federal indictments. Abdel allegedly funneled more than $83,000 to Hamas from 2023 to 2026 while his brother is...

Like most 4-and-a-half-year-olds, Lev Bielski loves playing with his big sister, spelling his favorite pastime “pool” on the letter board and cuddling with his parents on movie nights. But it’s been a long journey for the golden-haired “surfer bro” who loves splashing in the water at surf camp and trying on Dad’s volunteer firefighter gear. Up until four months ago, Lev was self-harming until he was black and blue, unable to make eye contact and keeping to himself in a corner all day. He was inching dangerously close to being confined by a punishing helmet and sedated with heavy antipsychotic...

A man tried to dodge his dinner bill by faking a medical emergency and calling 911 at a Georgia Red Lobster last week, according to authorities. Abdul Rasheed, 26, wound up essentially calling cops on himself on Sept. 24 when he tried to skip out on his $63 bill at the seafood joint located on Highway 5 in Douglasville, Ga, WSB-TV Atlanta reported. When emergency responders arrived, they found Rasheed perfectly fine — but apparently unwilling to pay for his feast. Douglasville police arrested him and charged him with theft of services, unlawful conduct during a 911 call, and making...

Too many students are graduating with a college degree ignorant of this country and how it works. To remedy this, I would add three courses that should be required for graduation. These courses would go a long way toward curing the misinformation now being presented to many modern college graduates. We can add these requirements to the Illinois state schools as a minimum and as an example to the rest of the education establishment. First, require microeconomics. No student should receive a college degree without at least a basic understanding of both the laws of supply and demand and the...

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI began examining Ellaboudy after receiving information that he had purchased precursor chemicals, components and other materials associated with improvised explosive devices. Investigators also found purchases of parts used to construct drones and remotely operated aerial systems. The complaint alleges that Ellaboudy took sick leave in December 2024 after claiming exposure to highly concentrated nitric acid, a chemical that can be used in explosive materials. In September 2025, prosecutors say, he used an official passport issued during earlier employment with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to travel from Washington state to...

Global debt surpassed $365 trillion in H1 2026, with emerging markets accounting for the bulk of the rise. Higher inflation has helped contain debt ratios, masking underlying vulnerabilities....

The New York Times probably didn’t start their day planning to blow up Jane Doe’s case against the so-called “Cornell 7,” but its own reporting has done just that. Buried inside the Times’ reconstruction of the accusations against seven Cornell frat members is a sequence of events that dramatically changes the picture and essentially tells the world these young guys are innocent and there was no rape. According to documents obtained by the Times, Jane Doe didn’t initially describe herself as a “rape victim” after the night in question. Quite the contrary. She reportedly told roommates what happened, exchanged friendly...

The recent terrifying crisis aboard Flydubai Flight FZ 1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv serves as a stark warning to the global security community: Commercial aviation remains a prime target, and the nature of the threat is rapidly shifting. During the flight, a violent struggle erupted inside the cockpit, sending the aircraft into a sudden, steep descent from 17,000 feet and triggering emergency distress codes. A horrific disaster was averted only because of the immediate, decisive intervention of the remaining crew and vigilant passengers on board, who managed to overpower the individual and stabilize the aircraft before an emergency diversion...

Handguns have been shown to be extremely effective at stopping bear attacks. This correspondent and colleagues have documented over 200 cases in North America where handguns were fired in defense against bears. Handguns have been effective in about 98% of the cases. One objection to these findings is often stated this way:If a person is killed before the handgun is fired, you will not include the incident in your statistics, because the handgun was not fired. Fair enough. It is a limitation worth exploring.Wikipedia and others maintain a database of all the people who have been recorded as having been...

The Trump Justice Department has arrested a California technology-company owner accused of smuggling more than $300 million in restricted American computer servers to China. Prosecutors say the operation used false paperwork and stops in other countries to get around U.S. export controls. That is the central issue here: a shipment’s first destination is not necessarily its final customer. The national-security division announced the arrest while emphasizing the strategic importance of the chips involved: California Man Arrested for Smuggling More Than $300 Million in Export-Controlled Computer Servers to China“SI is the defining technology of the era,” said Assistant Attorney General John...
