    Democrat voters in Michigan are jumping ship in droves after radical progressive Abdul El-Sayed narrowly clinched the Democratic Senate nomination Tuesday night. Even loyal MS NOW viewers and self-described liberals are openly declaring they will not vote for the socialist-backed candidate and will instead support Republican Mike Rogers in November. MS NOW host Chris Jansing herself reported the stunning defection: "And I want to tell you really quickly, as I was getting on the plane this morning, A guy who was a big fan of MSNOW said to me, 'I'm anxious to see who wins... I voted for Haley Stevens...

    All churches that truly love Jesus serve coffee, but did you know that you can actually tell what denomination a church is by what coffee it serves? Here are 17 different forms of caffeinated goodness and what church you'll find them in: Dunkin' — Southern Baptist: Obviously. Medium roast — Non-denominational: Smooth and palatable. Grande Caramel Macchiato in a venti cup, upside down, with split milks, extra shots, and no top drizzle — some friggin' Acts 29 church: You know who they are. Boba tea — the Korean church that meets after your church: So many Hondas in the parking...

    Here is the first look at the preppy NYU student from Connecticut accused of raising a flag bearing two swastikas next to a Star of David at a campus building dedicated to a Jewish donor.Alexander Stepnowsky, 23, wore a baby-blue button-down shirt and tan khakis to his routine preliminary Manhattan court hearing Tuesday in his hate-crimes case stemming from the disturbing May incident.The pupil hoisted the troubling banner — which also included a New York University logo and was designed to look like one of the prestigious school’s purple-and-white flags — during this year’s graduation festivities, prosecutors claim.Stepnowsky has pleaded...

    You’d be surprised just how much the story of the devil is embedded within the story of rock ‘n’ roll. It all goes back to the Bible. There is a passage in ‘Ezekiel 28:13’ that essentially says the musical ability that people have has been bestowed upon them by God: “The workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created”. This is a pretty universal ideology throughout most religions, not just Christianity, which is why so many faithful devotees choose to rejoice in song. However, the story of the devil...

    New Yorkers, hold onto your wallets and brace yourselves for financial chaos. Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s minions in the Democratic Socialists of America are preparing to radicalize the state Legislature in January, when they take their newly won seats in Albany. A warning sign of their coming craziness appeared Friday, when Mamdani-endorsed Assembly candidate Brian Romero put up a GoFundMe page with an unusual request. He begged for handouts to cover his own rent and groceries for the rest of this year, until he’s sworn in to represent East Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, Astoria and other parts of Queens. Romero won the...

    The "Shawshank Redemption" star said he turned to the Amazonian psychedelic brew with one goal in mind — to stop being "consumed" by outrage over what he sees as the unraveling of modern society. Robbins said his psychedelic experience was an intense spiritual journey that included what he described as an encounter with his late mother. "What she said was, 'You're injured. You're a warrior, and you're injured and you need to rest, but the fight's not over,'" Robbins recalled. "I was battling my frustration with the dissolution of society, people being angry at each other over ridiculous things, long...

    The biblical account of Daniel in the lions’ den is so well known that even those with differing religious beliefs or none are likely familiar with it. [SNIP] Daniel Grand is a devout Orthodox Jew who has lived in University Heights, Ohio, a small suburb east of Cleveland, since 2019. He bought his home to raise his family and live out his faith. For Daniel, those things are inseparable. Orthodox Jewish practice calls for prayer in a group of at least ten men three times every weekday and four times on the Sabbath and Jewish holidays.

    The forensic evidence was bloody and grim. Thick clotted blood scored the bruised face of the corpse, from a multitude of deep, needle-sharp wounds.More dried blood could be seen on the arms, feet and ankles, blood that had oozed from brutal injuries that punched through the bones.These details, pieced together by successive teams of experts in criminal pathology, are captured in the oldest piece of murder evidence in the world: the Shroud of Turin.The dead man, powerfully built and naked, must have suffered intense agonies... but he did not bleed to death.Neither was he killed by the deep stab wound...

    “Street of Dreams,” the new single from U2, is a perfect piece of Christian joy. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the band’s formation in 1976, and in the popular culture it’s hard to name many superstars who have so powerfully preached the gospel. “Street of Dreams” is recognizably Catholic. The video was shot in Mexico City, with the band performing their new song atop a school bus graffitied by Mexican artist Chavis Mármol. Images included a statue of the Virgin Mary, a street procession including a large cross, and a huge picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Comments...
  • The Most Destructive Power in The World – Is Not a Nuclear Weapon

    New American Prophet ^ | July 24, 2026 | Michael Bresciani
    The most destructive power in the world may not be nuclear power, chemical warfare, biological weapons, or any modern invention of military science. Such weapons are terrifying because they can destroy cities, poison nations, and leave generations wounded. Yet hatred has done something even more widespread: it has entered homes, governments, religions, schools, courts, streets, churches, and nations. It does not need a missile silo, a laboratory, or a battlefield. It only needs a willing heart. A bomb may explode once, but hatred keeps reproducing itself. It passes from father to son, from teacher to student, from preacher to hearer,...

    New York City, where the media insists crime is down, experienced another grim milestone with the 15th person pushed into the subway tracks so far this year. Saritha Komatireddy, who is running for New York State Attorney General on a public safety platform, tweeted that, “This is the fifteenth subway push this year. A 70-year-old woman was just shoved onto the subway tracks by a stranger who walked up behind her at a station in Midtown Manhattan.” The perpetrator was a ‘parolee’, the type of criminals whom pro-crime officials like Gov. Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James have fought for...

    “When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof so that you may not bring the guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from the roof.” Deuteronomy 22:8 (NIV) At first, this sounds like a small command. Put a railing around your roof. But it tells us something beautiful about God. God knows people fall. So he tells his people to do more than warn one another. He tells them to build mercy into the house. Do not wait until someone is broken on the ground. Put something between them and the edge. ****************** The...

    The answer, like so much else, goes straight back to the Qur’an. The fraud never seems to end; every day, there seem to be new cases.

Abdullah Anwar, 28, arrived in Texas on Friday and was being held in Collin County, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Texas.” SNIP> There are other similar cases elsewhere in...

    Billy the Kid continues to make headlines, 145 years after being gunned down in Fort Sumner. Thursday historians announced new evidence that he was Catholic — a detail that adds more layers of intrigue to one of the Wild West’s mythologized figures. Billy the Kid died July 14, 1881, after being shot by Lincoln County Sheriff Pat Garrett. On the first day of the Wild West History Association Roundup, Allen Sanchez said certificates of Billy the Kid’s baptism and his parents’ marriage were located inside St. Peter’s Church in New York City. St. Peter’s is connected to the Sisters of...
