“What the left and the media and the Democrats are doing — they’re doing all this stuff, to basically solidify support in the primary for him, get him into the general, and the whole general election is going to be all this legal stuff,” DeSantis said Wednesday, speaking at the Westside Conservative Club Breakfast in Iowa. “What they don’t want is to have somebody like me, who will make the election not about all those other issues, but it’ll make the election about the failures of Biden, the failures of the left and how we’re going to be able to...

It should be clear to any observant Born Again believer that someone bigger and more powerful is behind the scenes here in America (Eph. 2:1-2). Now, this Alabama state race was nothing more than a continuation of demonic Trump hatred and godlessness at war with Judeo/Christian values. The heart of this race - if you remove the curtain - reveals the battle of demonic lawlessness against Judeo/ Christian values and God ordained moral absolutes; in which Tuesday, lawlessness triumphed! More and more Americans today are embracing and siding with moral relativism, spiritual relativism, lawlessness and godlessness and when such evil...

An anonymous White House aide says that the president reaching out to Republicans is a "joke," a waste of time, and stunt for the media.

The Shiite Islamic Republic has repeatedly in the past denied accusations by U.S. officials that it is arming the resurgent Taliban, who are largely active in southern and eastern areas close to the border with Pakistan....

Lebanese aid 'only reaching political supporters' By Rania Abouzeid in Taibe (Filed: 13/09/2006) Hizbollah and its allies have been accused of favouring their supporters in the distribution of aid in southern Lebanon. The radical Muslim movement, whose conflict with Israel saw Lebanese homes and infrastructure bear the brunt of the destruction, holds sway throughout most of the south. But in many places it shares power on local municipal councils with its allies and Shia co-religionists in the Amal Movement, as well as the Communists. Hizbollah has a long-held reputation among locals for honesty. But the movement is now attracting complaints...
