The crazed plane passenger who was duct-taped and zip-tied on a flight to New Jersey first flipped over a discussion about religion with his seatmate, a controversial Messianic rabbi who’s a best-selling author dubbed a “Doomsday prophet.” Author Jonathan Cahn said that now-fired Arizona realtor Arthur Layne Lundeen, 67, allegedly started hurling racist and homophobic slurs after first screaming at him that “Jesus is bulls–t.” “I was the unidentified passenger and I was actually attacked, 30,000 feet in the sky. I was attacked on that plane,” Cahn revealed in a YouTube video Monday. “I have never seen someone change in...

Powerful Category 2 Hurricane Lowell made a rare direct hit on Hawaii's western islands Monday night Hawaii time, with rain and wind continuing to intensify as state officials report thousands of power outages on both Kaua'i and Oahu, the state's most populous island.While the storm's center is not expected to make landfall, the definition of a direct hit is when a hurricane passes within a distance that is up to twice the length between the center of the storm and the maximum winds, which in Lowell's case is 60 miles....More than 60,000 customers are without power on Kaua'i and Oahu...

President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin addresses the Germans, particularly Friedrich Merz 🇩🇪 shocked by the results achieved by the AfD. “We don’t want to attack you! Why would we? That era is long gone! Anyone who still has their wits about them and knows how to think understands that. 1) You already have a national debt of 2,500 billion euros, and no serious economist knows how you plan to pay it back. (Alice Weidel declares her country bankrupt.) And now, you want to borrow another 1,000 billion to arm yourselves against us. 2) Your country is teeming with millions of migrants...

After its historic victory in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has dropped from 44.4 % of the vote to 43.8% after mail-in ballots were counted, with all other parties gaining abnormally from mail-in ballots. Attorney Dirk Schmitz called this a sign of "systematic manipulation". German elections have been thought to be fairly secure, with mainly in-person same-day voting, photo ID requirements, and a Supreme Court ban on digital voting machines, as I explained to Ben Harnwell on The War Room. German Supreme Court ruled paper-ballots only because electronic voting is effectively unverifiable @CollinFrMcMahon @ben_harnwell pic.twitter.com/BHbVQdvt55...

As reported earlier, multiple people were injured after an armed man lunged into a tent and pushed his way through the crowd at Democrat Ohio Gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton's campaign event at the Canfield Fair near Youngstown. The "alleged" perpetrator has since been identified as Patrick Havas from Ohio. Havas was charged with two counts of assault for knocking over two elderly people. He was also charged with one count of disorderly conduct. Democrat Acton posted a statement that was completely misleading. This did not happen. “While attending the Canfield Fair, an armed individual lunged at Dr. Acton, injuring multiple...

Considering the millions living in this country, it is no surprise that many Americans become victims of criminal illegal aliens. A 33-year-old woman living in Framingham, MA, was strangled to death in her home in late August by an accused man who is an illegal alien from Brazil. Flavio Alcantara Dias, 43 years old, is accused of strangling Brianna Connolly to death at her home. She was 33 years old. Thomas Brandt, who is the assistant DA in Middlesex County, said the accused, Dias, called 911 around 12:30 p.m., asking for the police and saying a homicide had occurred. According...

Wokism is what comes from taking the equality thesis seriously, given a background of Christian morality. If you assume that all human populations have literally the same distribution of innate ability, it follows that all group differences in outcome must be the result of environmental factors. Suppose you truly believe that African Americans and Chinese Americans would on average be equally good at math and equally likely to run afoul of the law if only they were treated the same. With the right intervention, Nigeria could become like Korea, and our inner cities could be transformed into Silicon Valleys—or at...

Some intriguing information has come out regarding the feelings of the female jurors after they failed in their quest to let Lindsay Clancy get away with murdering her three little children. And it's safe to say they were not happy. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Judge William Sullivan officially declared a mistrial today in the Clancy murder trial while defense attorney Kevin Reddington melted down. Reddington later asked the Massachusetts Supreme Court for relief, which was denied. This was all made possible allegedly due to one brave male juror who refused to give in to bullying from both Clancy's defense...

Svetlana Lokhova@RealSLokhova October 27, 2019I flew to NYC at my own expense to give very important testimony to the American people on Maria Bartiromo’s show. I stayed in a hotel near the studio, again at my own expense. This was during the Special Counsel Durham investigation, which I assisted.I am an eyewitness to the Grand Conspiracy against President Trump, which started in 2015, directed by Obama and implemented by the CIA, MI6, the FBI, and the media.I spoke to Maria and her producers for weeks in advance to make sure they understood the importance of the story. I was not...

Tens of thousands of people participated in demonstrations across Spain this week to express solidarity with the North African enclave of Ceuta and to criticize the central government’s management of a large-scale migrant influx that began in late July. The rallies, called by the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces, took place on Ceuta Day and occurred in the enclave itself as well as in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Zaragoza, Bilbao and numerous other cities. The protests follow a massive invasion of the enclave in late July. Between July 30 and 31, authorities recorded approximately 72,000 people crossing from Morocco...

Assistant to the President Peter Navarro has been alongside Donald Trump for more than a decade, as a trade policy architect, relentless defender and even an adviser sent to prison for refusing to violate the president's executive privilege.So when he received a text message in July from a star anchor at Fox News suggesting the storied TV network fancied by millions of conservatives might underplay a major address by the 47th president on election vulnerabilities, he sprung into action.The text message was from longtime Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo, host of the network's popular Sunday show, offering an explanation why...

CNN aired a graphic that incorrectly said feminist icon Gloria Steinem died in 2006 — just days after the network was forced to apologize for mistakenly using a photo of a Dolly Parton impersonator in its coverage of the country legend’s death. The embarrassing graphic appeared during Thursday’s edition of “CNN News Central” as anchor Sara Sidner reported on Steinem’s death at age 92. But the on-screen tribute showed Steinem’s lifespan as “1934-2006” — shaving two decades off the famed activist’s life. The error was first spotted by X user Drew Kerr and the FTVLive newsletter. The blunder came just...

A Burning Man attendee died after experiencing a ‘medical emergency’ at the music festival, The Burning Man Project announced. Tens of thousands of ‘Burners’ flocked to the Nevada desert this year to engage in debauchery. Burning Man is a yearly drug-infested music and art festival in Northern Nevada, in Black Rock City. Attendees engage in sexually degenerate activities such as “whippings by a dominatrix priestess,” “circle jerks,” “c*ck fights” and orgies. Last year, a wicked dust storm kicked up on the first day of the festival and it ruined camp sites. Winds reached more than 45 miles per hour. This...

SNIP "This latest news comes on the heels of a blockbuster report from Status — which reported that Bartiromo’s sudden departure from the network on Thursday can be traced to an incident in July — when Fox Business management privately instructed senior employees not to lend credibility to claims Trump had made during a prime-time address about the 2020 election and China. Status’s Oliver Darcy reported that Bartiromo “spilled the secret” to the White House — an action which, according to Darcy, amounted to Bartiromo having “effectively betrayed her employer.” Byers reported that Bartiromo took a screenshot of guidance sent...

# PROLOGUE ## The Last File Thomas Rourke had always liked November in West Virginia. By then the hardwoods had given up most of their color, leaving the mountains stripped down to gray trunks, brown ridgelines and scattered stands of pine that seemed almost unnaturally green against everything around them. The first real snow was usually still a few weeks away, although there had been years when winter arrived early and buried the county before Thanksgiving. On most November nights, however, the temperature simply fell below freezing after dark, woodsmoke settled into the hollows, and the mountains grew quiet in...

"Fox News did not lose Maria Bartiromo in some mysterious “next chapter.” The network fired her. Then it hid behind a thank-you note and hoped nobody would ask why a woman who spent twelve and a half years building Fox Business a real audience vanished from the air after August 9."

In his day, Christ rebuked both the people and the religious leaders for having a total lack of discernment. “The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?” Mt....
