Holy Bible sales are soaring in the UK with publishers crediting the rising spirituality of Gen Z as driving the revival of interest embracing the ancient text in an increasingly unstable world. The Times reports there was an increase of 87 percent between 2019 and 2024 — from £2.69 million to £5.02 million — over five years, according to figures compiled by SPCK Group, the Christian publishers, using transaction information from Nielsen Book Data.

Alejandro Mayorkas, the nation’s top border official from 2021 to 2025, is denying blame for President Donald Trump’s smashing victory in 2024, which has scattered and impoverished the Democratic Party’s many interest groups. Instead, Mayorkas is blaming Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott and the upstart new media that he could not control as he gambled the party’s future by importing more than 10 million migrants for use by businesses and progressives.

"A secularized, atheist leaning Europe that has forgotten its roots, has demonstrated that it will NOT protect the personal freedoms of its citizenry.” — Jim Shea See if you can get this straight: So, Keir Starmer says: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland wants to “put boots on the ground and planes in the air” in Ukraine so as to lead a “coalition of the willing” (NATO) against Russia. Sounds a little like the British PM is holding seances at No. Ten Downing Street to channel the spirits of bygone European leaders who launched doomed bear hunts...

For the liberals “standing with Ukraine”, do you have any idea what you’re actually standing for? Let General Flynn explain it for you: “It’s a hub for human trafficking. It’s a hub specifically for child trafficking. It’s a hub for narcotics trafficking. It’s a hub for weapons trafficking. We know about our bio labs…

CBS News has hired a well-regarded TV veteran as its No. 2 executive — even as insiders speculate that the broadcast giant’s boss is on the way out. The Tiffany Network appointed former ABC News executive Tom Cibrowski to the role of president and executive editor of CBS News, replacing Adrienne Roark, the former CBS News president of newsgathering, who left for a job at Tegna earlier this month. Cibrowski — a 25-year veteran of ABC News who served as executive producer of “Good Morning America” when it overtook NBC’s “Today” in the ratings — will have a wider purview...

The White House yanked a reporter at a left-leaning news outlet from the rotation of journalists given special access to President Trump, making good on its pledge to rip control away from the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA). HuffPost’s White House correspondent S.V. Date had been slated to serve as the daily print pool reporter Wednesday, but the Trump administration booted him in the wee hours of the night and replaced him with an Axios reporter. The administration also kicked Reuters out of the spot it enjoyed as a wire service. In the past, Reuters, the Associated Press and Bloomberg...

President Donald Trump said there is a 'big, big surprise' in store for Democrats in next year's midterm election as he warned blue states will 'totally disappear off the map.' Trump disregarded the age-old political theory that the incumbent president's political party loses seats in Congress in the midterm elections.

More than one million federal staffers, fewer than half the government’s workforce, have responded to Elon Musk’s demand to come up with five things they accomplished on the job last week, the White House said Tuesday. The edict was emailed to federal workers Saturday, with Musk announcing a deadline of 11:59 p.m. Monday to answer while warning on X that “failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.” Musk then walked back his threat Monday evening and offered the staffers a second chance to submit their responses I can announce that we’ve had more than one million workers who...

It's a wonder all of them parrot the same news.

Elon Musk took to social media to allege that the identities of deceased people, or "non-existent" people, were being used by unauthorized persons to collect federal paychecks. Musk sent out an email to federal employees across departments on Saturday in which he asked them to justify their jobs, requesting that they "reply to this email with approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished this week and cc your manager." The reason this matters is that a significant number of people who are supposed to be working for the government are doing so little work that they are not checking their...

Adrienne Roark, CBS News’ president of editorial and newsgathering, is leaving the company for a senior position at Tegna. Her exit comes just seven months after being named president of the operation. Her departure comes at a time when CBS is facing a $20 billion lawsuit from President Trump, who has claimed CBS and “60 Minutes” deceptively edited an interview with Kamala Harris leading up to the 2024 election. Roark’s exit also comes as Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS, and Skydance Media are moving closer towards a planned merger — a deal that was given the green light...

this is a fight most Americans didn’t want—and it’s over a wall most Americans don’t want, either. Americans are largely pro-immigration; three-quarters of us believe that immigration is a good thing. And two out of three Americans think that immigration should either stay at its current level, or increase. More importantly, one survey found that more than half of Americans don’t want a new wall, or any broad security barrier at the border. In another survey, 40% of Americans polled chose the president backing down and accepting the $1.6 billion Democrats have already offered for border security as the most...

US Congressman, Scott Perry says USAID funded Boko Haram, which carried out terror attacks in Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger and Chad.

Nearly half a billion in taxpayer-funded media manipulation. If an obscure nonprofit received hundreds of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars, trained thousands of journalists, influenced media outlets worldwide, and quietly scrubbed its leadership and key records from the internet—wouldn’t you want to know why? That’s precisely what’s happening with Internews Network, a so-called “independent” media organization almost entirely bankrolled by USAID since 2008. Through extensive U.S. government funding, Internews has trained journalists, produced media content, and shaped global narratives, all while supporting censorship initiatives under the guise of combating “misinformation.” Internews has been systematically erasing its public-facing disclosures. Critical information...
