Billionaire Gates - who split from his ex-wife in 2021 after 27 years of marriage - wrote 'I can't wait to watch you discover the world' next to a shot of him cradling the newborn who was wearing a pink babygrow. Melinda, 58, also uploaded a photo of her with the baby - which appeared to be taken on a separate occasion - as she said 'there is nothing like holding your first grandchild.' Daughter Jennifer,...

Marxism, Progressivism, Leftism, Socialism, and Transhumanism are utopian ideological elements of Satan’s world system. Among utopianism’s most enduring modern myths are man as ape, the product of void, matter, and evolution; chosen apes will evolve into gods; and the self-refuting notion that apes of evolution are born good despite being instinct-driven apes of the void (nothingness) and its evolutionary energy supposedly working on matter.

[Catholic Caucus] Hell, No! Here he goes again. It’s Lent. Time for Bergoglio to scandalize the Church and the world once again.The Vatican’s New Age Freelancer in Chief chooses Lent and his 10th papal anniversary (10 years of our own Bergoglian hell) to announce to the world that Hell is not a place but a “state of the heart and a “posture in life.” What in the hell!In another full throated effort to destroy the teachings of the Catholic Church, Bergoglio, the humble and merciful one, boasts that “Hell is not a place— If one goes to attend the Last...

Lame duck Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot got a tongue-lashing at a raucous city council meeting Wednesday, with a longtime critic telling the controversial pol to “get the hell out of my city.” Journalist William Kelly, a frequent adversary of Lightfoot, berated the outgoing mayor for her botched leadership, including her response to the COVID-19 pandemic, during a public comment portion of the meeting. “You shut down our schools, you shut down the churches, you shut down the businesses,” Kelly railed, according to a video posted by Forbes. “You did the one thing that I thought could never happen,” he said....

KYIV, Ukraine ― The crowd at G-Versace Club ― mainly queer men, but also a sizable proportion of young women ― went as wild for every performer as the audience might at a Beyoncé or BTS concert. The Feb. 11 show opened with “the Go-Go GIANNI Boys,” a troupe of scantily clad, svelte men who danced choreographed numbers. Then, six drag queens with names like Gina Smile or Alcodiva took to the small stage, lip-syncing to both Ukrainian and international hits. While all were eager to forget the war for a few hours, it wasn’t ignored, either. Toward the end...

A lack of so-called ‘scientific evidence’ in the existence of the personal God Who spoke is not the true reason why godless Westerners reject belief in Him. Their rejection is due to a desire to live free of the moral constraints God requires. (Psalm 14:1):

President Joe Biden pledged to ban “assault weapons” again during a Wednesday night address to the House Democratic Caucus Issues Conference, saying he would secure the ban “come hell or high water.” FOX News quoted Biden saying, “I know it may make some of you uncomfortable, but that little state above me, Delaware is one of them, has the highest rate, one of the highest rates of gun ownership. But guess what? We’re going to ban assault weapons again come hell or high water. And high capacity magazines.” Last night Biden vowed to ban assault weapons 'come hell or high...

Moderna’s fourth-quarter profit tumbled 70% as COVID-19 vaccine sales fell and the drugmaker caught up on a royalty payment. Moderna said Thursday that its cost of sales jumped nearly a billion dollars to $1.9 billion in the final quarter of 2022. That included a $400-million “catch-up” payment to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for a new agreement on future royalty sales of the COVID-19 vaccine. In the U.S., COVID-19 vaccines will be sold commercially for the first time later this year when the federal government stops buying the shots.

From the time of Cain, violence has been perpetrated by proud, truth-hating, self-centered individuals and organized groups as a way of attaining their selfish objectives. In our own age individuals such as Alinsky and his disciples, and organized groups such as Globalists, Democrats, LGBTQ+, BLM, and antifa are just a few examples of proud, truth-hating, violence prone, individuals and organized groups.

Stephen Colbert once again roasted House Republicans on Wednesday’s “The Late Show” for their ongoing inability to elect a Speaker of the House now for two whole days. But the host went a bit deeper and more pointed than usual during his ribbing, taking an amusing couple of seconds to imagine what it might be like for Republican hero Ronald Reagan in Hell. On Wednesday House Republicans failed, for the second day in a row, to elect a Speaker of the House. Leading Candidate Kevin McCarthy is bitterly opposed by the extremist “Freedom Caucus” of Trump supporters, who have been...

A Catholic priest has been branded hateful over a sermon about 'rampant' sin, and denounced same sex marriage, abortion and the 'lunacy' of transgenderism. Retired priest Fr Sean Sheehy told worshippers at St Mary's Church in Listowel, County Kerry, that gay couples were committing a 'mortal sin', and criticised the availability of free contraception for 'promoting promiscuity'. A video of Fr Sheehy's comments, where he also criticised abortion and the trans community, has been shared widely online and has prompted condemnation of his views. A reported 30 members of the the congregation walked out of the church, including Edel O'Connor...

President Joe Biden boasted the economy under his presidency was “strong as hell” during a Saturday campaign trip to Portland, Oregon. “Our economy is strong as hell — the internals of it,” Biden said to reporters during a Baskin-Robbins ice cream stop in Portland. The president signaled his optimism about the economy as he ate his ice cream cone, despite punishing inflation, higher gas prices, and a recession. Biden acknowledged there was inflation, but falsely claimed that it was worse everywhere else in the world.

Calvinists like to use Paul's reference in Romans 9:13, which refers to the story of Jacob and Esau, to support their Calvinist doctrine of predestination. Yet when we read Genesis 25:27-34, we know that Esau willingly, on his own, forfeited his birthright by selling it to Jacob. Thus it should be obvious that it was not by God’s election, but rather by Esau’s own free will choice. It's a misinterpretation of the Scriptures to claim this text teaches predestination? To properly understand the text in question, one must understand the main reason Paul wrote his letter to the Jewish and...

This recent attack on Trump is a distraction so as not to look at what 0bama did and Biden is doing, which is a 1000 times worse; they are obeying their puppet masters to eliminate more than half of the population of the US and of the world!

“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalm 9:17. It’s true, there really is a Hell. I know because I’m standing in the midst of the most horrible place anyone could imagine. Truth be told, no human being could ever come close to imagining what I am seeing and experiencing without experiencing it personally for themselves. Hollywood could not do justice to the immense hideousness of this place. What I am seeing cannot be described in human terms. Why am I here? I rejected God’s free gift of salvation, and if you keep...

[Image] The Taliban’s stated wish to have peaceful relations abroad notwithstanding, the global consequences of competitive militancy are dangerously severe Will Afghanistan again become an exporter of global terrorism? My answer, an emphatic “yes”, will trigger sharp protests. Many perhaps will cite some of what Zabiullah Mujahid, Deputy Minister for Culture and Information and official central spokesman of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (henceforth Islamic Emirate), said at the Taliban’s first official press conference in Kabul on August 17, 2021. The Taliban, he said, wished to have peaceful relations with other countries and no group would be allowed to use...

Vladimir Putin looked frail and unsteady at footage purporting to be from a midnight mass for Orthodox Easter, stoking rumours surrounding the Russian president's ailing health. He chewed his lip and appeared unsure of his footing as he stood in Moscow's Christ the Saviour Cathedral alongside the city's mayor Sergei Sobyanin. A nervous-looking Putin bit his lip while attending the church service, fidgeting and appearing distracted while watching the church service. He appeared to chew the insides of his mouth, shifting uncomfortably, adding to a swirl of commentary that the pressure of Russian setbacks over the war in Ukraine. A...
