It's always a tossup. There's always a 50/50 chance that the terrorist is white dude who loves Karl Marx, or a practitioner of the Religion of Peace™. In this case, it was the former! Local newspaper Le Populaire du Centre says 34-year-old Hodei Docampo Ciarra is accused of smashing the windows of the Limoges town hall before sneaking into the cellar. He reportedly had accomplices, though they have not been named. Ciarra is a known criminal who is on a French terror watchlist. Unfortunately, the police couldn't watch him that closely. They were too busy letting the country burn down....

Rapid charging speeds are getting faster all the time. There are already a few cars capable of 400kW, while BYD’s Flash Charging tech supplies a whopping 1,500kW. But even the latter system involves stopping, plugging in and waiting for about 10 minutes. Honda, meanwhile, is envisioning a future in which you won’t have to stop at all. The Japanese manufacturer is working with The Taisei Corporation and its Taisei Rotec subsidiary on wireless, road surface-integrated charging technology that’s capable of keeping an electric car topped up as it drives along. This isn’t a new idea, but the Honda project stands...

It appeared that he was wearing women's clothing during the stream. Otto was found dead in an attic in Breitbrunn am Chiemsee after the house also caught on fire. A neighbor noticed the blaze and tried to put it out before emergency services arrived, but Otto had already died. Stick Run’s official account initially stated it was aware of a Twitch livestream involving its creator and owner, Manuel Otto, “in which he appeared to have taken his own life.” The account said Twitch had removed the stream and video, asked the community not to spread unverified information, and invited anyone...

From the streets of Paris to the capital of Albania, Tirana, Europe is once again witnessing political violence under the banner of democracy, social justice, and resistance to the political establishment. Police officers are attacked, businesses are vandalized, and public institutions are targeted by demonstrators who claim to be fighting for a better society. Ironically, some of the same people who accuse Western governments of authoritarianism seem increasingly willing to use violence to achieve their political objectives. Having grown up in Albania, a country that endured one of Europe’s most brutal communist dictatorships, I find the growing popularity of revolutionary-left...

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (10/22/26)[Prayer]Personalities Psalm 60[a]For the director of music. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A miktam[b] of David. For teaching. When he fought Aram Naharaim[c] and Aram Zobah,[d] and when Joab returned and struck down twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.1 You have rejected us, God, and burst upon us; you have been angry—now restore us! 2 You have shaken the land and torn it open; mend its fractures, for it is quaking. 3 You have shown your people desperate times; you have given us wine that makes us stagger....

Two members of the Bush family, the Republican political dynasty that counts Texas as its political launchpad, have backed Democrat James Talarico in the hotly fought race for a Senate seat in the Lone Star State.

Hizzoner, meanwhile, regularly appears in numerous cleverly crafted TikTok videos per day — prompting insiders to lament about where his priorities lie. “The mayor and his team are obsessed with becoming a content farm, often delaying or can-kicking boring governmental meetings so the mayor and his staff can hold pitch sessions for social media videos,” one source who often works with City Hall told The Post. He had “one” job. Mayor Zohran Mamdani has signed just one bill into law in 10 months since taking office — leaving critics to wonder if the millennial mayor is more interested in social...

We’re going to drop a bombshell documentary on @TheYoungTurks tomorrow morning called The Closetocracy. Which US Senator did we catch using male escorts?

The American people are being robbed in broad daylight. Federal dollars move by the billions into loosely audited programs diverted to support illegal aliens and private pockets. When questions arise, the ballots are returned to the officials who certified the election and then destroyed on a short statutory clock. The scoreboard is certified. The evidence is gone. People do not like being swindled by a con game. Riverside County, California, showed how it works. Sheriff Chad Bianco seized more than 650,000 ballots from the November 2025 Proposition 50 election with search warrants after discrepancies were found. The California Supreme Court...

"The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever" (Ps. 19:9). Fearing God leads to reverential attitudes and actions. In the Old Testament, to fear God was to view Him with reverential awe and bow to His sovereign authority. In Psalm 34 David wrote, "Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Who is the man who desires life, and loves length of days that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it" (vv. 11-...

To defend a leftist politician who spoke in front of an upside-down American flag, Axios published a fake fact check claiming the video was “doctored” by AI and that, in reality, the flag was right side up.

Federal investigators said the juvenile was also planning to carry out a terrorist attack in North Texas on behalf of ISIS.

Daily Readings from the USCCBJesus said to his disciples: “I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing! There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished!” Luke 12:49–50What a powerful image! Jesus declares His desire to set the earth on fire—not just a small fire, but a fire that is already blazing. A small fire gives warmth and light, but a blazing fire consumes everything in its path. Jesus is speaking of the purifying and transforming fire of divine love....

Tammy Sue Bakker, the daughter of the late televangelist Jim Baker with his late ex-wife Tammy Faye, has released a statement on Facebook following her father’s death at the age of 86. She publicly apologized to anyone hurt by her father’s theology while urging folks to donate to LGBTQ groups. Bakker reveals in her letter that “she left his ministry in 2022 because the message that was being delivered was not mine,” and that the distance between them caused her to be out of the loop in a big way. I have spent the years since estranged from my father....

Expanded questions for a broader picture of congregational life are now included in annual reporting, and this year’s report includes findings from an...

Actress Evangeline Lilly has had a sweeping Hollywood career, playing beloved characters in TV shows like “Lost” and films like “The Hobbit.” But despite a wildly popular career, Lilly decided back in 2020 to step back from Hollywood — a decision that sparked quite a bit of media interest. Now, she feels liberated and said she has stepped into a “total trust and surrender that God has a plan for my life.” Lilly is now lending her voice to a different type of project: “Legend of Destruction,” a film that tells the “story of the Jewish revolt against Rome, which...

A pastor freed by Islamist kidnappers in Plateau State, Nigeria has told how another cleric was murdered by the gang as he tried to escape. Pastor Gabriel Joseph Dipak said that the killers joked and boasted together after they slaughtered Pastor Hills Emmanuel “like a goat”. The two men only met and began talking as they travelled in a minibus from the state capital, Jos, to Bokkos on 28 August. The vehicle was ambushed at a roadblock by four Fulani men, who were armed with guns and machetes and shouting “Allahu Akbar” (“God is the greatest”) – a traditional Islamic...

The Democratic hopeful said that black people's “experience with somebody who looks like me is not a good one.” Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed said during a recent interview that some black Detroiters’ experiences with “somebody who looks like me” involve being “talked at from behind bulletproof glass,” catcalled, and sold single cigarettes at gas stations and stores. During an interview with “The Root” publisher Ashley Allison, El-Sayed said some black Detroiters’ “experience with somebody who looks like me is not a good one.” “You go into a gas station. You go to a party store. You’re being talked...
