A newly transplanted liberal in Florida described being triggered by patriotism as she tried to make new friends. The young woman in the video with thousands of views described the difficulty she has had in making new friends since moving to St. Petersburg, a city on Florida’s Gulf Coast. While she admits she loves the weather and St. Pete is “beautiful,” the woman soon shares her dilemma. “However, it has been hard to make friends which is natural as an adult,” she said. “It’s really difficult. I work from home, I live alone.” She explained how she downloaded the Meetup...

<p>Chrissy Reifschneider had just left rehab to treat her heroin addiction in 2017 when she started taking tianeptine, popularly dubbed “gas station heroin." The 41-year-old from Alabama was struggling with low energy, so a family member who worked at a gas station recommended she try the pills.</p>

Pollster Frank Luntz tried on Friday to explain to an oblivious CNN host why Evangelical Christians overwhelmingly support former President Donald Trump. While the reasons should be obvious — Trump helped repeal Roe v. Wade, staunchly supports religious liberty, and has been an ally to Christians — host Brianna Keilar just couldn’t figure it out. Indeed, in her opinion, Evangelicals should revile Trump because — wait for it — he’s an imperfect human being who’s said and done imperfect things. For example, when asked in 2015 about whether he’d ever asked God for forgiveness, he essentially said no. “I’m not...

It is one thing to push pills that could lead to death because of overdose or abuse. It is another thing to push pills that are designed to kill. But that’s just what one young pop star is doing – a pop star with 36.7 million Instagram followers. I’m speaking of Olivia Rodrigo, and the pills she is pushing – more accurately, the pills she is giving away – are abortion-related pills. What could be deadlier than that? I knew nothing about Rodrigo or her mission until our eldest granddaughter Elianna, a 2023 graduate of Liberty University, sent me a...

Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson of North Carolina is one step closer to winning it all after clinching the state’s Republican gubernatorial primary on Tuesday. Not only is he the first Black man to hold his office, but he has also taken some staunchly conservative positions on several issues including the gender debate. “Here’s something else I’m not supposed to say: Ain’t but two genders,” he said to roaring applause. “Two genders. Ain’t nothing but men and women.” “You can go to the doctor and get cut up, you can go down to the dress shop and get made up, you...

Virginia Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears spoke to the legislature about “respect and dignity” after a state senator walked out of the chamber during a session. That senator was Democrat Danica A. Roem, 39, who became the first transgender member of the House of Delegates upon being elected in 2017. Roem’s exit came after being referred to as “sir” by Earle-Sears during an exchange about the number of votes needed to pass a new bill. “Madame President, how many votes would it take to pass this bill with the emergency clause?” Roem is heard asking Earle-Sears who was presiding over the...

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron and New York Attorney General Letitia James may have scored a major hit on former President Donald J. Trump with the unprecedented $354 million penalty but they may have inadvertently inflicted grave damage on the entire real estate industry. On Friday, leftists were jubilant when Engoron announced the crushing financial blow on Trump, a ruling that in the opinion of one notable business expert, Kevin O’Leary of the popular television show “Shark Tank” is “un-American” and if not reversed on appeal, could potentially lead to other real estate developers facing similar charges from political...

I do my best to be sensitive in the language I use, not wanting to drive people away from a life-giving message because of controversial terminology. Yet there are times when being blunt is essential, and now is one of those times. That is why Pastor Andy Stanley must be called out publicly for inviting practicing homosexuals to speak at his Unconditional Conference. The fact that these men claim to be committed Christians makes the sin all the more grievous. I’m speaking specifically of Justin Lee and Brian Nietzel, both of whom are not only openly “gay Christians” but are...

Southwest Airlines is defending firing a pro-life flight attendant and appealing a judge’s ruling awarding the flight attendant an award for wrongful dismissal and a judge’s request that its attorneys get religious liberty training. Southwest Airlines requested a new trial after a federal judge determined that the company discriminated against one of its flight attendants because of her pro-life Christian beliefs. The company requested a new trial in paperwork filed Jan. 2, claiming the federal judge and jury made mistakes when they ruled in favor of Charlene Carter last summer. Carter worked as a flight attendant at Southwest for nearly...

Words and their definitions are important because the more accurate you are, the better able you will be to discern truth from error. There are leftist words and definitions that liberals want you to use. This helps them in their cause, restricts your freedom to speak, and influence your thinking. The following is a video I released on this along with the text of that video. ————- In the battle for influence and the control of society, words and their meanings are critical. Those on the liberal left believe their morals and thinking are best for everyone. That is why...

SAN ANTONIO, Texas – A one-day-old baby boy was found abandoned outside a Texas church for nearly 20 hours during the recent intense heat wave that saw temperatures soar far beyond triple digits. San Antonio police say a man and a woman were seen on camera about 1 a.m. on July 17 carrying a basket into the parking lot of Grissom Road Church, according to a Crime Stoppers report on Wednesday. The two then placed the basket by the back door of the church and left on foot. It wasn't until about 8:50 p.m. when a bicyclist noticed something "suspicious"...

Educators at Palisades High School in Charlotte, North Carolina, called it “Right to Read Day”—a contest where students were encouraged last month to “fight back against censorship” by reading and making videos about frequently banned books. But many of the books promoted in this contest were laden with pornography, including graphic rape scenes, pedophilia and anal sex between minors. Headline USA learned this from Wendy Hawley, a concerned parent of a student at Palisades; and Brooke Weiss, a substitute teacher at Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and the head of North Carolina local chapter of the non-profit organization Moms for Liberty. “When I...

I do not for a moment downplay the danger of the radical, rightwing ideologies of White supremacists in America. Nor do I deny the existence of a dominionist, takeover mentality in some Christian circles, the most extreme of which were put on display in the days leading up to January 6, 2021. But the real danger, the ever-present danger, the more pressing danger, is that of a radical dominionist takeover from the left. The evidence is all around us. Consider for a moment what is currently happening in America today (as opposed to predicting what is to come). Which group...

She found the situation to be "dangerous" and several other TikTok users also shared similar experiences they had at other restaurants, which they too found to be unnerving.

A young pilot who died unexpectedly last week marks the third pilot fatality in a month, alongside six in-flight pilot casualties since the beginning of March. There has not yet been a cause of death released for Phil Thomas, a graduate of the FTEJerez pilot academy in Spain, who died suddenly last week. “We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of our dear student from Course 77, Phil Thomas,” FTEJerez wrote in a social media post on April 10th. “His sudden death has come as a shock to us all. We would like to extend our...

Interesting Video.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Prayer Breakfast, one of the most visible and long-standing events that brings religion and politics together in Washington, is splitting from the private religious group that had overseen it for decades, due to concerns the gathering had become too divisive. The organizer and host for this year's breakfast, scheduled for Thursday, will be the National Prayer Breakfast Foundation, headed by former Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark. Sen. Chris Coons, a regular participant and chairman of the Senate ethics committee, said the move was prompted in part by concerns in recent years that members of Congress did...

Was the Southwest debacle "the perfect storm"? No, it was not.While you're still stuck at some crowded airport -- perhaps one where the police are telling you that you're trespassing -- the apologies have begun. Southwest Airlines CEO Robert Jordan finally, after more than two days of chaos, offered a heartfelt video of apology. I'm sorry. I meant an utterly robotic video of an apology written, it appeared, by a lawyer. On the heels of wide-scale disruptions, we're working diligently to Safely recover our operation & accommodate displaced Customers & Crews. We know this is unacceptable & sincerely apologize. If...
