Immediately, the naysayers would say prophecy has nothing to do with politics. Nothing could be further from the truth. Here are three very simple truths: We have never been closer to the Second Coming of Christ than we are today. By close, I mean a short amount of time. The American public has never been so far from eschatological (Second Coming) truth as it is at this moment. Politics and prophecy are connected at the hip. Whatever the politicians do is going to lead to what prophecy says is going to happen. It is not likelihood; it is impossible to...

"The ballots are counted. The maps are drawn. Democrats will control the House and the Senate when the new Congress gavels in. That is the premise the country just handed Republicans, and the Senate still has a few weeks of majority power left. John Thune and the usual clutch of RINOs are treating that window like an inconvenience instead of the last clean shot they will get for years."

Conservation officers say more than one bear may have been involved in attack on women near their home Jenny Balcarras, an art therapist, and her daughter Selah Reed were reported missing by relatives over the weekend. Photograph: GoFundme Search teams in Canada have discovered the body of a 20-year-old woman and confirmed that both she and her mother were killed in an attack that conservation officers now believe could have involved multiple grizzly bears. Late on Tuesday, conservation officers in British Columbia said the two women, who were reported missing over the weekend, were located near a trail a short...

I've been going through some recent doctor recommended health improvement efforts involving sleep, including an in-clinic sleep study and getting on CPAP therapy. I posted about this a couple of months ago and got some great advice and insights from FReepers. I've been on the CPAP therapy for just over a month and feel like I'm finally finding my groove with it - resolved all of the mask leak issues, learning how to use and maintain the equipment, best sleeping positions, etc. The effects were not immediate, but I am finally beginning to notice small increases in energy and lack...

An octogenarian lawmaker infamous for screaming at journalists and sending a rude letter to a child is on the verge of losing her seat after more than 21 years. Incumbent congresswoman for North Carolina's fifth district Virginia Foxx, 83, is set to lose her seat to Democrat upstart Chuck Hubbard. Hubbard has so far taken home 139,034 votes, or 48.7 percent, while Foxx managed to get 138,935, or 48.66 percent, according to NBC. At the time of publication, Foxx is just 99 votes behind, with more than 95% of votes in the district having been counted. While a majority of...

That’s real cold-blooded. A fight between elderly roommates over ice cream in Florida got so heated, one of the men allegedly shot his two tenants to death, according to cops. “It’s a ridiculous situation,” Ocala Police Chief Mike Balken said at a press conference Thursday. Mark Robinson, 69, is accused of fatally shooting Charles Etheze, 69, and Michael Menkes, 78, at his home in Ocala on Oct. 28 — after things got frosty between the men, according to police. The feud first broke out when one of the roommates accused another of eating his ice cream, sparking a spat that...

Ogdensburg city police arrested Kyrie Mitchell, 33, of Lisbon, Sunday night. Mitchell celebrated her 33rd birthday in jail Tuesday. According to documents filed in court, Mitchell was involved in an argument with Mary Skelly, 52, in the 7-Eleven parking lot on Canton Street in Ogdensburg Sunday evening.

“We are extremely saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Alan, who passed away on 5 November following a short illness,” Amanda said. “He will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by those closest to him, as well as the many fans whose support he was always grateful for. “Alan dedicated his life to motorsport, building a legacy that will live on through the countless people he touched along the way.” “Through his achievements, passion and unmistakable character, both on and off the track, Alan left an enduring mark on the sport both nationally and across the globe. “As...

Indiana carried out its first execution of the year early Thursday after lawyers for the condemned man failed in their bid to stop it, despite new details emerging about the state’s secretive process of obtaining lethal injection drugs. Jeffrey Weisheit, 50, was put to death at Indiana State Prison shortly after midnight for the 2010 murders of two young children in a house fire, state officials said. He had no last words and was pronounced dead 45 minutes later. The state does not generally allow media witnesses to attend, and Weisheit’s legal team could not immediately be reached for comment...

(Nov. 5, 2026 / JNS) Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon pushed back on Wednesday against attempts to blame the Jewish state for the Iran war and rising oil prices. His remarks, made in an interview with i24News, came after U.S. Vice President JD Vance cited the conflict and U.S.-Israel relations in explaining Republican losses in the midterm elections. “I think it’s unfortunate that many made the link between rising prices, mainly oil prices, and the situation here in Israel,” Danon said. “The decision to attack Iran was the decision of the United States. It wasn’t our decision,”...

RUSSELL Brand has been found guilty of rape and sex attacks on a string of victims as part of a depraved campaign to sleep with 5,000 women. The 51-year-old is facing years in jail after the court heard he became a “ruthless, calculated and manipulative” predator as he sought to satisfy his “voracious” sexual appetite.

Dow is down over 1,200 points right now…l guess they got the news one day late….or maybe as someone said yesterday, just more noise…..lol

The Nasdaq Composite plummeted on Thursday, erasing the sharp gains from the previous session, as investors continued to rotate away from technology stocks and into more defensive areas of the market. The tech-heavy Nasdaq declined 4.9% and dipped into correction territory, trading more than 10% below a record set last month. The S&P 500 was down 3.2%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 1,136 points, or 2.1%, as gains in stocks such as Chevron and Johnson & Johnson were not enough to spare the 30-stock index from the tech selling spree. The Dow erased more than half of its advance...

As global tensions reach boiling point, fears are never too far away that World War 3 could break out at any point. A major conflict is likely to bring conscription, the official term for when a country imposes mandatory military service on the public. The UK Government extended the age bracket for eligible call-ups to the Army Reserves earlier this year, and some Brits understood that to be a reaction to the current worldwide unrest. With Vladimir Putin and Russia warning that direct nuclear strikes are "reality" and "not a scare tactic", western leaders are on red alert. Experts are...

Democrats are now poised to take control of Congress by wide margins — and a critical driver of their success has been voter fury about how the war in Iran has driven up the cost of fuel. Before the war, about one fifth of the world's oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz. As the war throttled that waterway, the price of oil rose: A barrel of Brent crude cost about $70 in late February, spent months hovering around the $110 mark, and is now close to $95. That's driven up the price of everything that's refined from crude. A...

Longtime Donald Trump ally, childhood friend from New York Military Academy, and prominent Florida attorney Peter Ticktin sat down with The Gateway Pundit to deliver a stark warning about what Americans can expect the moment radical Democrats seize control of the House and Senate on January 3, 2027. Ticktin, who just scored a major courtroom victory last week when a Florida federal judge tossed former Dominion executive Eric Coomer’s defamation lawsuit against Patrick Byrne, outlined three scenarios for the just-concluded 2026 midterms and laid out what he says is the Democrats’ real plan if they take both chambers by a...

It didn’t take long for Democrats to drop the mask and reveal that they have no real intention of delivering on the “affordability” promises that filled their campaign ads. Their real agenda? Endless political witch hunts and pointless impeachments. It’s no secret that Democrats are downright giddy at the prospect of retaking full control of Congress. But what they seem to be most excited about is using their subpoena and investigatory powers to harass and frustrate not just President Donald Trump, but the entire executive branch, Big Tech executives, Republican donors, and anyone else who gets in their way. As...

It is amazing how accurate the pre-election national polling proved to be. From ChatGPT, although not completely final yet, it showed nationally, the democrats got 55% of the vote compared to 43.6% for Republicans. That is a real landslide using the rule of thumb saying 10% margin is a landslide.Pre-election polling the day prior showed a projection of democratic lead of 8-9%. That is within the usual 3% margin of error, so the national polling was pretty darn accurate--the only error was that they UNDERESTIMATED the democrat vote, not the Republican! So remember that the next time everyone, and I...
