Confession in all three branches of the Christian Church includes both sins of commission and omission. Acts violating God’s commands are confessed as sins of commission. Sins of omission are committed by failing to perform an action one ought to do.

As such, any and all wrongdoing is covered in most liturgical confessions. Judaism also recognizes sins of commission and omission. The above represents a sound, healthy, and just system of acknowledging, dealing with, and...

Progressive billionaire George Soros and his $32billion Open Society Foundations (OSF) are facing the most serious threat in their decades-long history. This comes as the Justice Department drew up plans last week to investigate the liberal funding giant for everything from arson to material support of terrorism. Speaking exclusively with the Daily Mail, Ryan Mauro - an investigator with the conservative Capital Research Center (CRC) - said the evidence against Soros, 95, was already hiding in plain sight, and prosecutors now have the tools to uncover what he called a 'smoking gun' that has yet to be discovered. '[It] could...

The measure sponsored by 4th Ward Ald. Lamont Robinson issued a formal apology from the City Council “to the Black citizens of Chicago for the historical injustices of slavery, segregation, systemic racism and the policies that have perpetuated racial inequality.” It overwhelmingly passed 43-4, but not without fireworks at a marathon Council meeting Thursday. “Shame on you!,” Robinson shouted after Lopez, Sposato, and Napolitano announced they would vote against the resolution. Lopez, a Southwest Side alderperson, said he wouldn’t endorse the resolution because Chicago’s “own economy was not slave-driven.” Lopez noted that the city became a haven for freed men...

Hey DeSantis, I hope you're watching this. I sure am glad the state attorney general is, because State Attorney Monique Worrell appears to be out of control. Yes, this lady's office dropped charges against a man who possessed infant and child pornography ... And then refused to prosecute a man who was pleasuring himself in the park in front of kids because she claims that act isn't illegal. [Warning: Language] All things that are wrong are not illegal. And I'm not standing here telling you today that what happened in that park was wrong. He was touching himself by the...

Kamala Harris settled on picking Tim Walz to be her running mate last year because she felt Americans were too racist, antisemitic and homophobic to accept her preferred option – Pete Buttigieg. In an excerpt from the former vice president’s forthcoming book, “107 Days,” obtained by The Atlantic magazine, Harris describes Buttigieg as her “first choice” but later deemed the openly gay former transportation secretary to be “too big of a risk” on the ticket. Buttigieg “would have been an ideal partner —if I were a straight white man,” Harris wrote. “But we were already asking a lot of America:...

Candace Owens has persistently spread harmful falsehoods designed to incite fear and hatred, particularly targeting Jewish communities with dangerous antisemitic tropes. Her recent baseless claim—that Charlie Kirk, a committed supporter of Israel, who was killed by Tyler Robinson (reportedly influenced by her associate, known antisemite Nick Fuentes) was supposedly part of some Z "conspiracy” (a fabrication initially propagated by Arab supremacist Naram Susli)—is only the latest in her ongoing campaign to vilify Jews. In a 2024 livestream viewed by over a million people, Owens escalated her attacks by falsely accusing a respected Jewish rabbi of orchestrating a murderous “Zionist plot”...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has compared the work of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to “slave patrols” during an appearance on MSNBC’s Velshi on Sunday morning. “As somebody who understands history, when I see ICE, I see slave patrols,” she remarked. “If you understand the history of policing in this country, then you understand that they were born out of slave patrols.” Watch: VIDEO AT LINK................ ICE agents are responsible for enforcing America’s immigration laws and carrying out the mass deportations that President Trump campaigned on. Slave patrols were historically organized groups of armed militias in the American South, who...

Karen Attiah A left-wing columnist revealed in a Substack on Monday that she was fired by the Washington Post over social media posts amid the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the Colorado school shooting. "On Bluesky, in the aftermath of the horrific shootings in Utah and Colorado, I condemned America’s acceptance of political violence and criticized its ritualized responses — the hollow, cliched calls for ‘thoughts and prayers’ and ‘this is not who we are’ that normalize gun violence and absolve [W]hite perpetrators especially, while nothing is done to curb deaths," Karen Attiah wrote. Kirk, a leading conservative activist, was...

“Vigilante justice has no place in a just society. Not on the left. Not on the right. Not in response to racism, and not in the name of righteousness,” said Shalomyah Bowers, a leader of the BLM Global Network Foundation.

The Georgia daycare worker accused of brutally beating a toddler had seemingly glorified violence online before the alleged attack. A disturbing video of Yvette Thurston participating in a viral 2023 TikTok trend about stabbing has emerged in wake of her arrest last month. The clip shows Thurston, whose face appears to be blood-smeared thanks to a filter, acting out a skit in which an offender tries to justify violence by claiming they were provoked. 'Did you have to stab him?' a voice says as Thurston licks what appears to be a plastic knife. Her X account also features memes suggesting...
