Affluent, white, female, urban liberals, the “AWFULs,” seem to be everywhere in recent years. Whether it be protesting for “pro-choice,” wearing “pussy hats,” or hurling insults and garbage at federal law enforcement, their numbers appear to be rising. This is, figuratively and literally, a scary sight. Many of these — ahem — ladies do not have children, whether by their choice, others' choice, or abortion. But they are quite nurturing of crime and willing — indeed eager — to nurse evil. They appear far more willing to protect sloth, license, indigence, and crime than an innocent baby or child. I’m...

The Rev. Franklin Graham issued an urgent call to prayer, encouraging Americans to come together at noon on January 14 to collectively seek God — a move he believes is essential for a nation he believes has turned its back on the Lord. "Our nation is falling so far from God and His truth," Graham told CBN News. The Samaritan's Purse CEO cited as evidence confusion he observed this week at the Supreme Court, where justices are currently weighing whether states can preclude biological men from participating in women's sports. Graham said 10 years ago such an argument wouldn't have...

New York City socialists are mustering an army of more than 4,000 anti-ICE activists to form “rapid response” battalions and obstruct the feds in an expected imminent crackdown on illegal migrants in the Big Apple. Mayor Mamdani’s comrades with the DSA outlined the mission Thursday at a monthly meeting of their Immigrant Justice Working Group in the swanky Midtown digs of the Chinese Communist Party-linked People’s Forum, where photos of communist idols Fidel Castro and Che Guevara decorate the walls. “As we’ve seen in other cities, we still do anticipate a big wave of federal immigration enforcement,” a DSA leader...

Events in Europe, the Middle East, and here are moving so quickly, it seems that decades of deceit, corruption, and just plain stupidity are nearing their end sooner than we could have imagined. Here’s a sample of the tremors this week which promise to undo the near past. IranCredible reports indicate 23,000 civilians have been murdered by the mullahs’ forces, and videos (again made public due to the extraordinary efforts of Elon Musk’s teams to work around the mullah's blackouts) reveal incredible brutality. Corpses with catheters and heart monitors still attached support accounts of persons being snatched from hospitals and...

A TikTok video recently caused a stir on social media. Posted by user @filimonovadrian, it presents a surprising social experiment that questions our perception of others. The premise is simple: to observe whether a small change can cause a noticeable difference in the attitudes of passersby (especially men).In this experiment, a young woman is filmed with a hidden camera while walking with cardboard boxes. She deliberately drops them to simulate a situation where she might need help. The video is in two parts: In the first part, the woman is wearing jogging pants, a simple and comfortable outfit often...

NUUK, Greenland — Native Greenlander Amarok Petersen was 27 years old when she learned the gut-wrenching truth about why she couldn’t have children — and that Denmark was to blame. Suffering from severe uterine problems, a medical doctor discovered an IUD birth control device in her body that she didn’t know she had. Danish doctors had implanted it when she was just 13 as part of a population control program for thousands of native Greenlandic girls and women.

A Massachusetts woman is suing the town of Hopkinton, alleging officials negligently approved a criminal immigrant with a history of workplace sexual violence to operate a business where he later assaulted the plaintiff when she was 16 years old. The lawsuit, transferred to federal court Jan. 5, names Greek national Petros "Peter" Sismanis, who is in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody. According to court documents, Sismanis was convicted in June 2025 for the 2023 sexual assault of the plaintiff while she worked at Hillers Pizza. The complaint also notes that Sismanis was previously accused in 1998 of rape, indecent...

Hunter Biden’s former girlfriend and the mother of his 7-year-old daughter has called for the disgraced former first son to be “incarcerated” over his “antics” in failing to hold up his end of their child support deal. Lunden Roberts urged an Arkansas judge Tuesday to reopen the long-running case between the former lovers and arrest the felonious 55-year-old until he complies with the agreement they settled on in 2023, according to court records viewed by The Post. “Incarcerate him in the Independence County Detention Center as a civil penalty until he purges his contempt by complying with this court’s orders,”...

The situation escalated quickly as federal agents engaged in high-tension operations, leading to confrontations that left residents and bystanders in shock.

President Trump has moved to place more than 1,500 Army paratroopers on standby as chaotic anti-ICE protests sweep Minnesota. In the wake of violent clashes in Minneapolis between demonstrators and law enforcement, the White House has reportedly asked federal troops to stand at the ready. Defense officials revealed the plans to ABC News on Saturday, saying the active duty soldiers would be deployed from the 11th Airborne Division, which is based in Alaska. The base is reportedly one of the Army's premier infantry units positioned to help deter China, but Trump is set to move resources to crush protests that...

Jay Jones was sworn in as Virginia’s new attorney general on Saturday at the state Capitol in Richmond after winning the race despite leaked texts in which he fantasized about the children of conservatives being murdered. Jones was sworn in at the inauguration of Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA agent. President Donald Trump had called for Jones to drop out of the race after the texts were made public, but Democrats rallied behind him. In one shocking exchange, Jones fantasized about putting “two bullets to the head” of then-Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert in a hypothetical scenario comparing...

Someone might have the idea that they are too far gone, they have done so much that God's grace is not for them. But, you have to realize that whatever you have done is no longer the issue. The issue now is what Jesus has already done for you, yes you. Romans 5:6 reads, For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. And you clearly see in verse 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Jesus died for the ungodly, while...
