Many of us find Suchet's reading particularly engaging. I feel like I am listening to someone who was there when events unfolded. But there are links to other versions posted below Suchet's video information for those who prefer other readers. :DFreeper redryder_90 and I created these threads to store any observations or comments made by those of us listening David Suchet's narration of the Bible. Prior threads of this series are listed in post #1 below. This week's book is available in a few different formats. Below the video image, I linked Bible Gateway's convenient hub offering David Suchet and...

Would-be assassin Aimee Betro, from West Allis in Wisconsin, flew into the country as part of a plot to attack a British family in Birmingham in 2019, before going on the run for nearly five years. Her co-conspirators had been involved in a feud with the family, her trial heard. During the case at Birmingham Crown Court, jurors were told Betro hid her identity using a niqab when she tried to fire shots on Measham Grove, Yardley, but her gun jammed and the individual at whom she had aimed fled the scene unharmed. Jurors deliberated for almost 21 hours before...

Claire Hope from Vancouver has just turned 18. Her mother is a real-estate agent, her father a lawyer. Last week, Claire reportedly made more than $1 million in less than three hours, after announcing the launch of her OnlyFans “bday special” on Instagram with a picture of herself sticking her middle fingers up at the camera. She wears a cropped t-shirt embroidered with the phrase “porn star in training”, promising “all content shot at 12.01am on my 18th birthday”. Claire first became famous as a sweary child rapper on YouTube, performing under the name Lil Tay. It is this persona,...

The rise of ghost jobs has been causing real frustration for job seekers. According to a 2024 survey from ResumeBuilder.com, 40% of employers admitted to posting job listings with no intention of filling them, and 30% still leave those listings live. For job seekers, that means hours of time spent applying to jobs that aren’t even real. But it doesn’t end there. These “ghost jobs” were being used to build a resume database, project an image of company growth, or drive traffic to a site, all while leaving applicants in the dark. What’s even more troubling is how many hiring...

If the first message you get from someone you matched with on a dating app leaves you speechless, hopefully it’s because you’re wowed by their good looks, witticisms, curious mind, and articulate nature. If that sounds painfully naive, welcome to the apps in modern dating culture. The daters Julie Nguyen works with are more likely to be floored by the laziness, spelling errors, and sheer audacity of the people on the other end. “It’s a numbers game, so it’s really easy to just be like, ‘OK, I’m going to say something really quick and really generic because I’m going to...

Jimmy Kimmel is a desperate man looking for a way out, he revealed in a recent interview. The late-night host sees the writing on the wall, including the likely evisceration of his own ABC show. Rather than bear it, Kimmel said he’s giving serious thought to fleeing the U.S. Such a move would be driven by Kimmel’s desire to “escape Trump,” he said on the Sarah Silverman Podcast last week. “I did get Italian citizenship, I do have that. What’s going on is as bad as you thought it was gonna be,” the 57-year-old comedian said about his own career...

This one seems to be playing some kind of crazy shoplifting game while high as a kite on meth. People like her are everywhere in America these days, don't think they're not.

SNIPWhen Canada’s Parliament in 2016 legalized the practice of euthanasia—Medical Assistance in Dying, or MAID, as it’s formally called—it launched an open-ended medical experiment. One day, administering a lethal injection to a patient was against the law; the next, it was as legitimate as a tonsillectomy, but often with less of a wait. MAID now accounts for about one in 20 deaths in Canada—more than Alzheimer’s and diabetes combined—surpassing countries where assisted dying has been legal for far longer.It is too soon to call euthanasia a lifestyle option in Canada, but from the outset it has proved a case study...

A historic synagogue in Odessa, Ukraine, sustained significant damage following a Russian drone strike this week, one of several Jewish sites caught up in intense bombardments this summer. The Nachlas Eliezer Synagogue in the Peresyp district of Odessa, which was built in 1898 and served the Jewish community until it was closed in the 1920s under Soviet rule, was struck Monday evening by a Russian suicide drone. The strike caused a large fire in the building, which had already partially collapsed in 1992, according to the United Jewish Community of Ukraine. No injuries were reported. “This sacred building, constructed at...

This one seems genuinely crazy. Claims she has lots of names, it gets pretty entertaining she also somehow thinks everyone is jealous of her, but I don't even think she knows what that word even means. There are lots and lots of these videos on YouTube, it's really amazing what these LEO's have to put up with from these horrible people. It really sucks they have to be kept busy dealing with these abusive low-life's, taking them away from other important police work.

This film explores the unprecedented global rollout of mRNA vaccine technology - and the complex scientific and regulatory questions it continues to raise. At its heart, the story follows scientists and physicians who voice concerns about potential gaps in data transparency, risk assessment, and long-term safety - not to discredit science, but to uphold its highest standards. “We turned the body into a factory, with no clear controls.” Dr. Robert Redfield - Former CDC Director Regulators and much of the scientific community maintain that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are safe and effective. Meanwhile, the technology is rapidly expanding - from new...

How CarShield operates… it’s something folks should know before calling that number. The video talks about how CarShield will deliberately not cover certain parts. Then they claim it’s that part that went bad. Buyer beware.

News of Abdul Niazi’s death arrived in a chilling phone call. It was March 26, nearly the end of Ramadan, and his wife wanted to know when to expect her husband, a former U.S. military interpreter who lost both legs in a bomb blast in Afghanistan and became one of Houston’s most well-known advocates for new Afghan migrants. It was almost time to break the day’s fast, recalled Niazi’s cousin, but he hadn’t returned home. So she called his cellphone. “I’m not your husband,” the man on the other end of the line said, according to Rizwanullah Niazi, Niazi’s cousin....

Over the years, countless Democrats have tried to take down Trump, thinking they could stop his movement for good. Instead, they ended up disgraced, irrelevant, or completely exposed. From Hillary Clinton to James Comey, Rosie O’Donnell, and more—this is what happens when you go to war with Trump and lose. The MAGA base doesn’t forget, and Trump’s influence is stronger than ever. Watch the full breakdown of their downfalls!

FAFO in Florida Two illegal immigrant sisters caught shoplifting shocked to find out they're being deported, one claims they can't be deported because she had a child here. Turns out they're habitual shoplifters with tools that makes it a felony. They shouldn't have tried this in Florida. Should have tried their crime spree in Illinois or Calif. Where the authorities would have done everything possible to set them free.

GOBEKLI TEPE, Turkey — Tour guide Sabahattin Alkan herds curious tourists through the scorching afternoon heat, luring them with the promise of something far stranger than your typical vacation snap. "Over here on the right, you see a spaceship landed recently," he says with a grin. He's joking. Mostly. But more on that in a minute. We're in the Urfa plain, a dry, dusty stretch about 25 miles from the Turkish-Syrian border. That "spaceship" is actually just a curved roof. But what lies beneath the dome has sparked decades of mystery, curiosity — and conspiracy. One of the T-shaped pillars...
