With the news of Pope Francis’ passing at the age of 88, many believers are once again turning their eyes to an old and mysterious prediction known as the Prophecy of the 112 Popes. For centuries, this prophecy has stirred the imaginations of scholars, skeptics, and saints alike. But as students of Bible prophecy, how should we view it in light of Scripture? What weight should we give it in a time when spiritual deception and end-time confusion abound? The Prophecy of the 112 Popes The so-called “Prophecy of the Popes” is attributed to St. Malachy, a 12th-century Irish archbishop....

Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) revealed on social media Saturday that she was confronted by a man inside a makeup store in what she characterized as a politically motivated incident. “Some unhinged lunatic, a man, wearing daisy dukes, at a makeup store, got in my face today. Dems are nuts. So I went off — and I won’t be backing down,” Mace posted on X. “I hold the line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Try me.” The video—attached to her post and now going viral— shows a man confronting the congresswoman with questions about...

Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) has pledged to travel to El Salvador to “discuss” the release of an alleged MS-13 gang member who was deported last month, leading a group of other Democrat lawmakers to demand the man’s return to the U.S. Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, a 29-year-old Salvadoran national who entered the United States illegally when he was 16, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Maryland, where he resided, on March 12.

Young liberal women are especially prone nowadays to reporting poor mental health. This was the discovery that Zach Goldberg made almost five years ago pouring over Pew data in the spring of 2020. Further research in 2022 found that depression had surged among liberal high school girls in the last decade-and-a-half, and much more so for them than other high schoolers, especially conservatives. Is this ideological gap in the mental health of liberal and conservative women still present? Yes, new evidence from 2024 American Family Survey indicates it is. Young liberal women are markedly less satisfied with life than their...

An individual at the University of West Georgia attempted to intimidate conservative students by shouting expletives and calling them “fascists” during a tabling event. Campus Reform obtained a recording of the incident on Tuesday in which a student confronts Turning Point USA (TPUSA) members at the University of West Georgia before a law enforcement officer intervened. ”Exactly!” the student said in response to the suggestion that he was trying to “shut down” the TPUSA display. “It’s what people do to fascists,” he added. ”I don’t give a **** if you have a right to be here,” the individual continued. ”I’m...

Billionaire Warren Buffett has pledged to give away at least $147 billion to charities and NGOs following his death, tasking his children with spending the money. The 94-year-old Buffet has expressed concern about his children’s longevity, which prompted him to create a backup strategy in case they pass away before being able to give away the fortune. In a recent letter to investors, the 94-year-old stated that he has not yet named a successor in the event his children are unable to fulfill this role.Buffett remarked candidly about the inevitability of aging, stating, “Father time always wins.” Since 2006, Buffett...

President-elect Trump’s nomination for labor secretary is a “toxic” anti-conservative RINO with cozy ties to unions, outraged critics told The Post Saturday. During her single term on the Hill, Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.) has backed a laundry list of boiler-plate liberal policies at odds with longstanding Republican orthodoxies, including strengthening unions’ efforts to organize the private sector, amnesty for illegal immigrants, and championing expanding government employee unions. “The signaling effect alone from this nomination would be that the Trump administration is not serious about deregulation or economic growth,” Ken Girardin, labor expert at the conservative Empire Center for Public Policy,...

A far-left climate change group has spent millions of dollars in a bid to help climate activists sound like human beings when interacting with other people. Potential Energy Coalition launched the “Talk Like a Human” campaign, which suggests activists use terms such as “extreme weather” and “overheating” in place of “climate change” and “warming.”Additionally, it promotes positive language like “enjoy” over “sacrifice” when discussing the future impacts of climate actions. The coalition emphasizes localized language, suggesting activists talk about pollution rather than the global scope of climate change.

Heavily Pregnant liberal woman says she has the right to abort her baby as she writes ‘Not yet a human’ on her stomach.

New Yorkers aren’t letting Whoopi Goldberg’s sourpuss spoil their favorite spot for sweet treats, after she put a local bakery on blast on national TV, alleging they refused to serve her because of her lefty political beliefs. “I think it’s ridiculous. Why would she come all the way to Staten Island for her cupcake? To make an issue? They’ve been here forever,” Deborah Bernaz, 68, said of the comic’s claims against the beloved 145-year old Holtermann’s Bakery on Staten Island. “I don’t think it has anything to do with politics. They’re a little Staten Island bakery. I think it’s bulls–t...

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill reacted to the news that President-elect Trump intends to nominate Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fl., to be attorney general with a mix of support, disbelief and silence Wednesday. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said she was "shocked" to hear Gaetz was tapped to lead the Department of Justice. "Obviously the president has the right to nominate whomever he wishes," Collins said. "But this is why the Senate's advise and consent process is so important." "I'm sure that there will be many, many questions raised at Mr. Gaetz's hearing, if in fact the nomination goes forward," she added. If...

BURBANK, CA — Liberal woman Marcie Galveston was forced to film herself having a second post-election meltdown this week after she realized she forgot to hit the record button on her phone the first time around. "WHY??? WHY?????" screeched Galveston, tears running down her cheeks. "I'm shaking, I'm so terrified! Look what you did, you sick freaks! I'm literally no longer safe as a woman, are you happy? I just can't believe over half the country is so RACIST and SEXIST and… oh wait a second. My phone isn't on. Aw, man. Gonna have start this whole thing from...

Cynthia Nixon took heat Monday from black leaders over her comments that creating a legalized pot industry in New York could serve as a form of reparations in black communities. Nixon on Saturday told Forbes magazine "now that cannabis is exploding as an industry, we have to make sure that those communities that have been harmed and devastated by marijuana arrests get the first shot at this industry." "We (must) prioritize them in terms of licenses. It's a form of reparations." The comments came under fire from some community leaders.

Ap just called Michigan for Trump. Alaska, Nevada and Arizona are still not called.

Here I go again. Since the liberal media is so upset with what President Trump says, I am again requesting help. This concerns two female liberal talking heads who used to make the rounds on FNC back in the early 2000's. The first one I remember I believe when Bush 42 was running for re-election in 2004. We were alread in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the liberal media was doing a daily body count of our soldiers who were killed in action. This one liberal woman was on one of the talking heads shows - I say on FNC because...

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod implied that “liberal voters” in Asheville, North Carolina, would “figure a way to vote,” despite the damage from Hurricane Helene, while Trump voters would not. During an episode of the podcast Hacks on Tap, Axelrod spoke about Hurricane Helene and how places such as Asheville, in western North Carolina, had been affected by heavy rainfall and flooding, noting that there was “a lot of displacement” as a result. Axelrod described North Carolina as being the “second most rural state” in the United States.

Conservatism, the late philosopher Roger Scruton wrote, emerged into the modern world as “a kind of ‘yes but…’” response to liberalism. Conservatives, he observed, believe, like liberals, in the importance of the free market, of private property and of individual choice. They believe also in the overriding significance of community and tradition as setting limits to the reach of individualism. Liberalism, for Scruton, made sense “only in the social context that conservatism defends”. The relationship between these two philosophical wellsprings of conservatism has never been comfortable. The tension between the individualism of the market and private property and the communality...

To say I was not a fan of Jimmy Carter would be an understatement, but today he turns 100. In comparison to Biden and the progressive death grip on today’s Democratic Party, he looks a whole lot better in retrospect. Cy Vance, Harold Brown, and Zbigniew Brzezinski were head and shoulders above Biden’s senior foreign and defense policy appointees Blinken, Austin, and Sullivan.It is possible to speak well of some of Carter’s deeds (as Phil Gramm does today in the Wall Street Journal), such as deregulating or partially deregulating transportation and other basic sectors of the economy. Here’s a chart...
