Andriy Yermak, one of the most powerful figures in the Zelensky government, told POLITICO that Kyiv will not accept any terms in which the lines of conflict are frozen and that Ukraine will not accept any agreement that infringes upon its borders.

Dr William Lane Craig is a well-known and respected apologist cited by many prominent Christians. So, it is shocking, for many, to hear that he is also an avid anticreationist. Craig tries to reconcile evolution with Genesis by categorizing Genesis as mytho-history—a type of theological fable that is not meant to be understood as real history. In an online interview with Sean McDowell, Craig said:“My greatest fear is that the young-earth creationist might be right in his hermeneutical claim that Genesis does teach those things that I described earlier. And I say that would be a nightmare because if that’s...

I received not long ago an e-mail from a reader who says that her Methodist congregation is in the midst of a conversation about whether or not to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church over gay marriage. The reader shared the arguments for both sides in her moderately conservative congregation, and asked what I thought. Looking at her list of "stay" arguments, I saw a bunch of propositions that were either deceptive (self-deceptive?) or wishful thinking. The stay argument, as she presents it, amounts to this: If we leave, we will be breaking fellowship with a national organization that has...

“Pope Francis” promotes and WILLINGLY MEETS with cardinals, bishops, priests and lay people who promote the culture of death, BUT DOES NOT DIALOGUE with cardinals, bishops, priests and lay people who promote the culture of life and who demand that we remain faithful to the Truth of God in Divine Revelation, which does not change with the world, explained infallibly by the Catholic Church for 2000 years. What are the fruits of such behavior for the Church. What are the effects of this confusion for individual immortal souls?!? (Note: When pasting this document into Free Republic, it seems that most...

During an appearance on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) urged Congress not to legislate under the “heat of the moment,” referring to the emotions resulting from gun violence in Buffalo, NY and Uvalde, TX. Lee told host Shannon Bream he had yet to see the language of legislation from a reported compromise between the “gang of 20” and said the disagreement could come on terms like what constitutes an “assault rifle.”

Senator Cornyn, I have voted for you every time you have faced election since coming to Texas 21 years ago. However, now you are negotiating away my rights and those of my family and fellow citizens. The very idea (let alone the practical application) of a "Red Flag" law is in violation of the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th Amendments - and giving tax dollars to the states to do that dirty deed would be just as gross of a violation of those rights by operation of the 14th Amendment. Senator Cornyn, you KNOW this - you were on...

1:19 House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline ” that the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade ruling was not “extreme” because it was a compromise. Pelosi said, “Roe v. Wade was not an extreme position. Roe v Wade was a compromise. It weighs equities in terms of timing and all the rest. We have to make sure we keep the focus on enshrining Roe v. Wade in the law so that there cannot be undue burdens placed on it in different states in the union to overturn a woman’s right to choose. Now when you hear the...

Update (1210ET): Following Blinken's earlier urging to focus on Russia's "actions" on the ground and "not just what it says" coming out of the Istanbul talks, some top officials are charging that Russia's potential "compromises" being offered are but a ploy to buy more time on the battlefield. Via Newswires: "Western official says nothing we have seen so far has demonstrated that Russia is particularly serious about peace talks and seems to be more of a tactical exercise to play for time." Concerning a draft ceasefire deal in the works, each side has confirmed they will return to their respective...

Now Ben-Hadad king of Aram mustered his entire army. Accompanied by thirty-two kings with their horses and chariots, he went up and besieged Samaria and attacked it. 2 He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, saying, “This is what Ben-Hadad says: 3 ‘Your silver and gold are mine, and the best of your wives and children are mine.’” The king of Israel answered, “Just as you say, my lord the king. I and all I have are yours.” The messengers came again and said, “This is what Ben-Hadad says: ‘I sent to demand your silver and...

Senator Joe Manchin signaled his desire for a compromise on the “For the People Act” — the Democrats’ massive voting reform and campaign finance reform bill.Republicans see the bill as a naked power grab by Democrats. The bill would federalize elections, repeal state election integrity laws, reimpose the Voting Rights Act in places where it isn’t necessary, and invite fraud. It would also rig political fundraising to the Democrats’ advantage.Manchin supports several significant changes in the bill and demands that it be a bipartisan effort before he signs on. He also opposes any changes to the filibuster to get it...

by Laurie Azgard Information posted by QAnon shows a certain date-timeline. That timeline matches the exact end day that former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had died right before it had happened. Also the letter that Brian D. Hill of USWGO alternative news had sent to Clarence Thomas was also sent around that timeline period and was probably being reviewed right on the start of the second date timeline period mentioned by QAnon on September 13, 2020. Also further research shows that Chief Justice John Roberts may have been compromised by serial child molester Jeffrey Epstein as...

For a country formed as a marriage between free and slave states, the Constitution was a compromise. Why are Americans debating whether the Constitution is a pro-slavery document more than 150 years after the abolition of slavery? Can it be that, after decades of disinterest, Americans have suddenly realized history is fascinating?Historical debates are usually fairly esoteric, more likely to bore than to excite the general public. When historical debates inflame passions beyond the circles of academic history, it is a sign that the debate is not really about the past, but about the present. So it goes with the...

White House and Senate leaders reached a historic deal shortly after midnight Wednesday on a massive $2 trillion coronavirus relief package for workers and businesses, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi offered something of a tepid endorsement of the agreement after previously pushing for her own legislation. The bipartisan breakthrough in the Senate capped days of heated negotiations that had nearly been derailed by last-minute demands from House Democrats. “Ladies and gentleman, we are done," White House legislative affairs director Eric Ueland announced as he left the office of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., near midnight. "We have a deal."

So-called “Gun Safety†advocates don’t really care about public safety, and it’s easy to prove that all they really fear is an armed populace who opposes their political agenda.  Here’s the deal: They could have the “Universal Background Checks†(UBC) they’re fighting for, if they made just one small compromise.Now, Second Amendment supporters understandably cringe at the word “compromise†because for generations the GOP dictionary has defined it as: “Giving the Democrats half of their ridiculous demands and then hoping they say nice things about us on TV for a few days.† But that’s not real compromise, it’s capitulation.An...

Now, I’m just gonna tell you that your basic Trump voter doesn’t want Trump talking to Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer about this. They are not the people to talk to about guns, background checks, intelligent background checks. We don’t want insane people, mentally ill people, bad people, dangerous people having guns in their hands. Well, who gets to sit there and determine who’s insane and who isn’t? So I’m gonna tell you, this is a potential red flag, and I just want to remind everybody, “Read my lips: No new taxes.” George H. W. Bush thought that he was...

A bipartisan deal to bring millions of immigrants out of the shadows, and pay for a secure border. Americans are frustrated by the inaction of their federal government on comprehensive immigration reform and border security. So are we. We both represent districts on Long Island, and we have both worked on immigration-related issues for over 25 years — one of us, Representative Suozzi, from the perspective of immigrant’s rights as a mayor, as a county executive and now as a member of Congress; the other, Representative King, from the perspective of border security as a former county comptroller, and now...
