Last Friday, the city of Paris held their openin ceremony at the Olympic Games 2024 but the entire show had a mixed reaction from people. While many were absolutely thrilled for the excellent level of the presentation, many even called it impossible to surpass. The more conservative and religious parts of the population that saw this event were completely outraged at some of the symbolism that was presented there. There was a spoof of the famous Leonardo Da Vinci painting, 'The Last Supper' but there were people in drag dancing and there was a strange appearance from the Greek God...

This was a miracle. God intervened and protected President Trump. President Trump told former White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson that a last millisecond head tilt saved his life after a gunman opened fire on him from an elevated position at his Pennsylvania rally. Trump told Dr. Ronny Jackson that he turned his head to the right to look at a chart on illegal immigration statistics when a bullet grazed his ear. “That chart that I was going over saved my life,” Trump said to Ronny Jackson by phone just hours after the attempted assassination, according to The New York...

I woke up this morning thinking about how Trump could “concede” to this outlaw candidate whose criminal organization illegally stole this election from the America People? The only concession is conceding that Biden and his criminal organization stole this election and have enough corrupt politicians around the country to pull it off. It seems we’re surrounded by the Enemy. But are we? Aren’t there more with us than with them? And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to...

Cleveland, OH – A 22-year old woman reported to a scheduled abortion appointment at Preterm in Cleveland, Ohio, when she began to feel ill. She and her friend were seen entering the clinic, but moments later left and returned to their car, according to pro-life activist Fred Sokol, who was on the scene and photographed the incident. The 911 call recording, obtained by Operation Rescue, showed that a sobbing and hysterical woman had suffered symptoms that caused the emergency dispatcher to screen her for a possible stroke. The 911 call, placed on August 19, 2020, was so chaotic, it took...

Archbishop Schevchuk: As a teenager, at that time I was not aware of the dangers because it was completely a secret and every teenager had his own secret. Neither my mother nor my father were aware of this and this was my personal secret. It was after a year that I understood the dangers that could have resulted had I been discovered by the secret police. My parents: my mother was a music teacher and my father was an engineer. Had I been discovered my parents would have lost their jobs. Many people in Ukraine, in the past, who were...

It’s the second round of the playoffs and Tim Tebow is still winning. He’s just not doing it all alone, at least that’s what America believes. But America must not be watching his defense, coaching, running game or blocking. They’re convinced there’s a greater power assisting the devoutly Christian quarterback. According to a survey done by Poll Position, 43 percent of the general public think some of Tebow’s success can be attributed to divine intervention. In other words, God is helping Tebow win games. The Broncos upset Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers on Sunday afternoon in a wild-card playoff game....

Ted Kennedy was taken out of the Statuary Hall luncheon after suffering an apparent seizure -- a few minutes after Sen. Robert Byrd was removed in his wheelchair under the supervision of medical personnel. Byrd was conscious and had been having trouble eating, according to a witness. Kennedy, who underwent brain cancer surgery last year, was taken to the Rayburn room. A police radio picked up a call for paramedics to help someone stricken with a seizure, according to Politico's Patrick Kennedy.

Gianna Jessen is the powerfully eloquent survivor of abortion who recently appeared in the ad above challenging Barack Obama’s opposition as state senator to the Illinois Born Alive Infants Protection Act. I hear from a source that WKYC-TV in Cleveland has confirmed Obama is running an ad responding to the BornAliveTruth.org ad featuring Jessen. ...

While Muslim radicals urge their followers to purify themselves so that Allah will give them victory over the world and reestablish the Caliphate, some modern-minded Christians dismiss the idea that God "takes sides." In Portsmouth, N.H., a weekly church bulletin scorns the idea that the Christian victory at the Battle of Lepanto was due to heaven's intervention: "The notion that God is clearly on one side or another in wars and political struggles strikes many contemporary people, including most Christians, as dangerous." Another cleric suggested that what was more dangerous was a "Man of God who did not believe God...

Of all the total non-stories reported by the British media since 9/11 - the brutal Afghan winter, the non-existent Jenin massacre - has there ever been a bigger waste of space than the column inches devoted to "Bush: God Told Me to Invade Iraq"? That was the Independent's headline. The Guardian, like the Indy, led with a front-page picture of the President aglow in his own personal halo, but preferred the caption: "George Bush believes he is on a mission from God." And my old comrade Mark Lawson piled on with a full columnar sneer at the President's "Manichean convictions"....

Abbas denies Bush's 'mission from God' remark October 8, 2005 - 12:23PM Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has denied an account by another Palestinian official of a meeting with US President George Bush in which Bush is cited as saying he believed that God told him to go to war in Afghanistan and Iraq. A statement in Abbas's name released by his office said an excerpt from an interview with Palestinian Information Minister Nabil Shaath due to be broadcast by the BBC in which Shaath described a meeting with Bush in June 2003 gave a "completely false" account. In the interview...

BBC shies away from Bush story Tara Conlan Friday October 7, 2005 BBC programme editors turned lukewarm on a claim by a BBC2 programme that George Bush believed God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan after a strong denial by the White House. Just 24 hours after accusations that the corporation's news coverage was backing away from risk-taking, some of the BBC's key outlets decided not to run an exclusive story unearthed by BBC2 about the US president. It was all the more unusual as yesterday morning the corporation sent out a press release trumpeting the exclusive in BBC2's...

The White House has denied that US President George W. Bush said God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, as a new BBC documentary is expected to reveal. "That's absurd. He's never made such comments," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Thursday. The documentary series set to be broadcast later this month in Britain claims Bush made the claim when he met Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas and then-foreign minister Nabil Shaath in June 2003. He also told them he had been ordered by God to create a Palestinian state, the ministers said. Shaath, now the Palestinian information minister, said:...

  More and More Folks Falling for the "God Told Me to Invade Iraq" Story The Guardian has picked it up, as has just about every "reality-based community" blogger out there. Nobody seems to have caught on that this story made a brief media sensation way back in 2003. It's not a new story, folks! And the differences between this story and the original are revealing as to just who is lying here. The Palestinians conveniently remember Bush promising them a Palestinian state, but when they reported this conversation back in 2003 there was no such specific promise, just a...

A Palestinian official who said the US president had claimed God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan says he did not take George Bush's words literally. Nabil Shaath said he and other world leaders at a Jordan summit two years ago did not believe Mr Bush thought God had given him a personal message. Mr Bush's spokesman said the original allegation, which will appear in a BBC documentary next week, was absurd. Scott McClellan said the comments had never been made. The comments were attributed to Mr Bush by Mr Shaath, a Palestinian negotiator, in the upcoming TV series...

White House denies Bush God claim The White House has dismissed as "absurd" allegations made in a BBC TV series that President Bush claimed God told him to invade Iraq. "He's never made such comments," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said. The comments were attributed to Mr Bush by the Palestinian negotiator Nabil Shaath in the upcoming TV series Elusive Peace: Israel and the Arabs. Mr Shaath said that in a 2003 meeting with Mr Bush, the US president said he was "driven with a mission from God". Holy war? "President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm driven with...

LONDON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush allegedly said God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, a new BBC documentary will reveal, according to details. Bush made the claim when he met Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas and then foreign minister Nabil Shaath in June 2003, the ministers told the documentary series to be broadcast in Britain later this month.

Bush told Palestinian ministers that God had told him to invade Afghanistan and Iraq - and create a Palestinian State, a new BBC series reveals.

It is 8:15 p.m. now, local, in Iraq. Sunset in Baghdad slated for 8:16 p.m. (12:16 p.m. Eastern Time Monday).The poor South Korean captive in Iraq, Mr. Kim, may well meet a terrible fate at this moment. Please pray that these radical Islamist uncivilized animals are overwhelmed somehow by Divine Force, or hopefully; by US Marines or special forces (who would also be a divine force in this case).Watching and waiting and hoping.......
