3D-printed fake “meat” and “fish” products are quietly flooding the U.S. food supply and arriving in American grocery stores without clear labeling. The “foods” are sold in packaging that markets them as “premium plant-based meat” without disclosing the printing technology used to manufacture them. Israeli food-technology company Steakholder Foods is launching its PERFECTA brand across the Northeastern United States, bringing engineered imitations of steak, chicken, and seafood to retail shelves. The hyperprocessed products are “built” in Israel before being shipped to American stores in packaging that imitates real meat and fish. - Advertisement - The rollout raises a straightforward transparency...

The Democratic candidate running against Republican Rep. Mike Lawler shockingly threw Gov. Kathy Hochul under the bus — telling a crowd she agreed with her opponent that the governor “has got to go.” Cait Conley delivered the jaw-dropping burn this week, becoming the second Democratic congressional candidate to publicly distance themselves from Hochul ahead of next month’s midterms. The stunning moment came after Lawler, the incumbent congressman repping New York’s 17th House District, railed againstt New York’s business climate — citing the highest in the nation taxes, congestion pricing and red rape — during a Putnam County VFW forum Tuesday...

While Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has not been seen publicly since federal agents raided her Washington, D.C., residence on Monday, her political consultant husband was once again spotted emerging from their shared rental home this week. Tim Mynett was seen Wednesday stepping out in the neighborhood to walk their Golden Labrador Retriever dog Teddy, a second time later that same day to take out the trash and a third time to walk out his wife’s staffer. “There are rumors that the congresswoman left the country, is that true?” Mynett was asked while on an evening walk with Teddy. “You guys are...

The teenage gunman who shot and killed three children and a teacher at an Oregon elementary school on Thursday opened fire at a pickup truck before storming into the school, witnesses say. The unidentified 16-year-old was carrying a shotgun when a man in a red Toyota Tacoma pickup truck idling in Silver Rail Elementary School's parking lot noticed he was heading toward the school, The Source reported. Concerned by what he was seeing, the driver then decided to confront the teenager, who in turn fired numerous shots at the civilian and his truck, shattering a rear window and leaving six...

This week the silliness casts a spell with witches!

My latest song. Happy Halloween!

Daily Readings from the USCCB“I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but after that can do no more. I shall show you whom to fear. Be afraid of the one who after killing has the power to cast into Gehenna; yes, I tell you, be afraid of that one.” Luke 12:4–5Physical harm, or even death, is not the greatest threat we face. Certainly, many people fear the idea of dying suddenly; when such a tragedy occurs, the deceased’s loved ones rightly enter into mourning. The pain of loss is real. Jesus, however,...

This volume of The Age of the Puritans begins with William Perkin's concise summary of Christian doctrine written in response to popular misconceptions of the time and Robert Rollock's scheme for logically dividing doctrine into key topics. Rollock then explains the relationship between the written Scriptures and what he terms the "lively voice" heard in other ages, pre-empting what would later become the Quaker-Puritan debates. B.B. Warfield gives a 'best of' John Arrowsmith's Armilla Catechetica (two of Arrowsmith's sermons to the English parliament during the First English Civil War appear at the end of this collection). William Perkins illuminates the...

Belén, a single mother of three living in poverty, was scrolling through Facebook one day in 2022 when she came across an opportunity she believed could change her life. The then-31-year-old was working as a waitress and struggling to afford food for her children while living in the home of her physically abusive ex-boyfriend. So when she saw a post from a wealthy gay couple who were looking for a surrogate to carry their child, Belén says she ‘saw the way out’ of her situation and immediately contacted them to arrange a meeting. The couple promised to pay her and...

Opinion polls suggest Democrats have a good chance of winning control of the House and Senate in midterm elections already underway with early and mail voting. But opinion polls aren’t infallible. President Trump’s surprise victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016 should remind us that polls and pundits can be wrong. My fellow Democrats shouldn’t assume that a blue wave will sweep away Republican majorities in both congressional chambers or wash the red tide of supermajorities in state houses which we have abandoned in multiple presidential seasons. Democrats need to mount an all-out get-out-the-vote effort from now through Election Day to...

A progressive United Methodist church in Arkansas drew attention on social media for a viral clip of their choir performing a choral arrangement of the Backstreet Boys' 1999 song "I Want It That Way" during a worship service last Sunday. The Rev. Jennie Williams, who serves as senior pastor of Central United Methodist Church (CUMC) in Fayetteville, suggested to The Christian Post that her church's musical choice was following Jesus Christ's example of being relatable. ????You are my fire. The one desire. Believe when I say. I want it that way???? The choir at Central United Methodist Church Fayetteville sings...

Trump: I call him Mohammed Abdul El-Sayed. He's a Muslim Brotherhood guy 100. Dana: President Trump is talking about El-Sayed's family and its alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

[NBC's journalist Tom Llamas interviews el Sayed] 'ABC: Can you just explain it?' El Sayed: l It's funny to me. I was born in 1984. Down the street in Rochester Hills. I was raised here in Michigan. Went to the University of Michigan. You...

Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton revisited the video showing her appearing to stagger and nearly faint after a 9/11 commemoration ceremony in 2016, conceding on Wednesday that campaigning while having pneumonia was a “mistake.” The former secretary of state spoke to Kara Swisher on their new joint podcast about Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico’s nine-day absence from the campaign trail after he said he contracted the flu. His absence from public appearances led to a viral online rumor wrongly alleging that he had secretly been admitted to an Ohio mental health facility, which Clinton and Swisher said was...

BREAKING: Tesla's Roadster goes airborne, soaring over a row of Tesla vehicles in a live stunt at its unveiling event

Polling shows Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) surpassing far-left challenger James Talarico (D) less than a month out from the Texas U.S. Senate race. A survey from InsiderAdvantage released on Thursday shows Paxton with a slim lead on Democrat Texas State Rep. Talarico, 49 percent to 48 percent. The pollster had not released cross tabs giving a further demographic breakdown as of Thursday evening. However, the survey is the second in a week showing Paxton eking past “God is non-binary” Talarico, as the Democrat faces fire for his nearly two-week absence from the campaign trail in the final action-packed...

“I can literally still see that video in my head,” Stratton recalls in this week’s issue of PEOPLE. In the clip, he says, was what looked like a black triangular craft with orange, white and yellow lights glowing on each corner. It moved silently before seeming to defy the laws of physics by accelerating faster than the eye could follow — and was gone. “That,” says Stratton, “was the moment that changed my world.”
