What things can a man say to a woman at a formal ball to observe that she looks good without being offensive? Let’s look at the background of the question. I just attended a very nice formal ball where the men were in suits, black-tie tuxedos, and white-tie tailcoats. What’s fascinating about the protocols here is that the more men dress up, the less of a spectacle they become. Their individuality gradually dissipates into a blur of grayscale coloring. Stand them all in a line and they nearly look like they are all in uniforms. All of this is intentional...

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has relocated with his family from his private residence to a military base after Iranian threats against his life escalated beyond an “advanced stage,” according to reports Tuesday. The threats come as President Donald Trump has chosen to intensify the sweeping economic offensive against Iran spearheaded by Bessent, rather than resume major military operations, placing the Treasury secretary at the center of Washington’s strategy to economically isolate the Islamic Republic. The New York Times first disclosed the relocation, citing three people familiar with the matter who said intelligence about threats against Bessent contributed to a broader...

The Democrats’ Blueprint for Permanent PowerThe Constitution supplies legitimate ways to change those rules via the constitutional amendment process and nearly every item on the Democrat agenda is designed to bypass it.Every generation of Americans is told that some emergency justifies setting the Constitution aside just this once. Today’s “emergency” comes with a slogan: saving democracy. Strip away the branding, and the Democrat Party’s structural agenda looks like something entirely different—and reminiscent of the old Bolsheviki power play 100 years ago but recast for gaining control of U.S. institutions. Two new states, a packed Supreme Court, the end of the...

When the Federal Aviation Administration reinforced cockpit doors after the 9/11 hijackings, it turned flight decks into fortresses to lock out terrorists. But what if a terrorist is already inside? That question has new urgency following the harrowing Sept. 30 attack aboard a FlyDubai flight in which a Muslim extremist (Islamist) pilot was forcefully stopped by a heroic pilot and brave passengers from crashing a plane bound for Israel. Former aviation security officials say the FAA needs to reassess threats inside cockpits and the measures intended to counter them. They say this review is especially urgent because the agency has...

The deranged passenger who claimed he had a bomb aboard a New Orleans-bound United Airlines flight and then tried to rush the cockpit, has been identified as a Honduran illegal migrant twice kicked out of the US, immigration officials told The Post. Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto, 34, was arrested on three separate occasions by Border Patrol for illegally entering the United States, years before he threatened to blow up the United flight 2174 plane out of New Jersey Monday night, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said. Immigration officials said that Gomez-Alberto, a Honduras native, was arrested twice in the US...

In 2008, Margaret Reichenbach and her husband bought oceanfront land to build a house, but neighbours repeatedly disrupted the construction; 18 years later, an appeals court upheld a $3.7 million verdict against them.

2026 Democrats: The “Big Tent”.1. Moderate Democrats. 2. Left-wing Democrats. The in-between, going wherever the wind blows. 3. Red-Green Alliance (DSA). Noisy and promoted by the MSM. 4. Islamists exploiting social issues and making promises as a backdoor strategy for Islamization. The first step is anti-Israelism, making sure to repeat the Pallyweid slogans - ritual, (whether DSA-affiliated or not). Sneaky and regressive, yet promoted by the MSM as supposedly just simply “progressives.”

In 2024, Kamala Harris won 4,835,250 votes in Texas. In 2026, Gina Hinojosa, the gubernatorial candidate from her party, picked up 5,230,929 votes and James Talarico, the Senate candidate, scored 5,445,156 votes. Where did Texas Democrats find 395,679 more voters than in a presidential election? In October, Texas Secretary of State Robert Howden announced the big news. Texas had hit a record 19 million registered voters or specifically, 19,041,684 voters. Not only was Texas up a whopping 17,119,632, nearly 2 million from its 2022 numbers, but there were now 418,000 more voters than there had been in 2024. That 418,000...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Contrary to popular belief, Republican lawmakers are reportedly glad that they lost the election because now they will have an excuse for not getting anything done. When the new Congress begins on January 3, Republicans will no longer be in charge, which means they can sit back and relax instead of pretending to work. Now, when the country plunges into an economic recession due to poor economic policies, and prices spiral further out of control, Republicans can just sort of shrug. "It's a huge relief," said Senate Majority Leader John Thune. "So glad I don't have to...

This is a fairly long video on YouTube, over an hour. Victor does a great job analyzing what happened in the election. Short synopsis: The media was effective in demonizing Trump. People wanted the border closed. Trump did it, so people did not see it as an issue in the election. It was done. People wanted deportation, but not in their face, on TV. The imaging from Minneapolis was very effective against Trump and the Republicans. The Media was effective at turning Homeland Security into the SS. The Trump administration did a bad job on explaining inflation. Inflation is down,...

An 11-month-old boy who officials said was taken by his father on Monday was found buried alive in a dog crate Tuesday, after being miraculously discovered, a South Carolina sheriff said. Baby Koah Sharpe was found alive in a dog crate that was wrapped in a towel, Lexington County Sheriff Bryan Koon told reporters. “That, by the grace of God, probably provided enough air for him to survive — our estimation is for the last 24 hours under that dirt,” he said. Koah, described as a 20-pound boy with reddish hair who had a pacifier, was taken by his father,...

"Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is" (Hebrews 11:6). Nothing you do can please God apart from faith. Throughout history, people have tried everything imaginable to gain favor with God. Most turn to religion, but religion apart from Christ is merely a satanic counterfeit of the truth. Many trust in their own good works, not realizing that even their best efforts are offensive to God (Isa. 64:6; Phil. 3:8). And the more we try to justify ourselves, the more we offend God, because "by the works of the...

WASHINGTON, Nov 10 (Reuters) - US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has recently moved from his Washington, DC residence to a US military base ‌after Iranian threats against his life, two people familiar with the matter said ‌on Tuesday.

Daily Readings from the USCCBMemorial of Saint Martin of Tours, BishopAs Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee. As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him and raised their voice, saying, “Jesus, Master!

Luke 17:11–14According to the Law of Moses, lepers were declared ritually unclean and required to live apart from the community. They had to wear torn clothing, leave their hair...
