John 11:41–42 41… And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42And I know that You always hear Me… After Jesus had said these words, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” And the man who had been dead for four days came out of his tomb! This is one of the greatest miracles that Jesus performed. Lazarus had been dead for four days when Jesus raised him to life. Wouldn’t you agree that death is indeed an extreme problem? Having no money in the bank, being sick and...

A secret strategy paper clearly outlines the role of the economy should Putin attack in the east. The German army has concrete suggestions on how companies should prepare themselves. A new secret document, reported on by Germany's FAZ newspaper, spells out what this would mean - particularly for German businesses. The 1,000 or so page document lists every location - from bridges to power plants - that could be vulnerable to an attack in the event of a more direct confrontation with Russia. Earlier this year, Defence Minister Boris Pistorius warned that Germany must be ready for the possibility of...

For 15 years, former Texas schoolteacher Kayla Morris put every dollar she could save into a home for her growing family. When she and her husband sold the house last year, they stowed away the proceeds, $282,153.87, in what they thought of as a safe place — an account at the savings startup Yotta held at a real bank. Morris, like thousands of other customers, was snared in the collapse of a behind-the-scenes fintech firm called Synapse and has been locked out of her account for six months as of November. She held out hope that her money was still...

Richard "Ric" Grenell, the former acting director of National Intelligence in President-elect Trump's first administration, is reportedly under consideration to be special envoy for the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Currently, there is no special envoy responsible for bringing an end to the war in Eastern Europe. Trump is strongly considering whether to create the role, Reuters reported, citing four sources familiar with the president's deliberations. If he does create the new position, Grenell is said to be a leading candidate, though Trump may select someone else, the sources told Reuters. There is also no guarantee that Grenell would accept the position if...

Dear President Trump: Please, please, oh pretty please--pull America out of the United Nations. Tell them to take their hypocrisy, incompetence, corruption, and Jew-hatred, to the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland or to the golden deserts of Qatar. Maybe they can house their headquarters more appropriately in Afghanistan or Pakistan. Let the anti-Western, anti-Israel, and anti-democracy tyrannies pay their own way. Perhaps Europe can either increase their funding for the UN--or pull out as well. I can think of many better uses for the 17-18 acres in the luxe Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan, right on the East River,...

Vladimir Putin has said such escalations would be an act of war President Biden approved Ukraine's military to use U.S.-provided long-range missiles on targets inside Russian territory, the New York Times reported Sunday, citing unnamed U.S. officials. Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously said that such an escalation would constitute an act of war. He has yet to react to Biden's announcement Sunday. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital. Biden's announcement came just hours after Russia concluded one of its largest missile and drone attacks in months, launching over 200...

China unveiled a 10 trillion yuan (US$1.4 trillion) program to help resolve a local government hidden debt crisis, as authorities moved to shore up a slowing economy facing fresh risks from the reelection of Donald Trump. Officials fleshed out the details of a debt swap plan approved by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress at a press briefing in Beijing on Friday. The funds for the program — already telegraphed last month but without a price tag — will be provided through 2028, they said. Finance Minister Lan Fo’an also pledged to take a “more forceful” fiscal policy...

“Listen here, sweetheart,” Davis continued, addressing James. “We’re not messing around this time and we will put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against rights. I promise you that.” Davis, who has been floated as a possible Trump pick for attorney general or White House counsel in his incoming administration, urged the New York AG to “think long and hard” before potentially violating the president-elect’s “constitutional rights or any other Americans’ constitutional rights.” “It’s not going to happen again,” he declared.

Nancy Pelosi's efforts to install Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee deserves blame for the vice president's loss against Donald Trump, according to former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy. Harris became the Democratic candidate in August following the withdrawal of President Joe Biden on July 21. She secured the 1,976 party delegates needed to clinch the nomination without having to compete in a primary election as is conventional for a presidential nominee. McCarthy has touted this, and the belief that Biden was pushed out by his own party, as a reason for Harris' loss. "You've got to blame Nancy...

November 01, 2024 Today, Gov. Jay Inslee activated some Washington National Guard members to be on stand-by in the event they are asked to support local law enforcement and the Washington State Patrol during election week. The governor has given The Adjutant General the authority to determine how many members of the Guard will be activated. This is a purely precautionary measure taken in response to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s nationwide warnings regarding threats to election infrastructure and other recent activities that have occurred in southwestern Washington. The Guard will be on stand-by for four days, beginning Monday,...

Radiohead singer Thom Yorke briefly walked off stage during his Australian solo tour after an exchange with an audience member who heckled him with a protest about deaths in Gaza. Videos posted online by concert-goers at the Melbourne show on Wednesday show a man in the crowd shouting at Yorke. While not all of his words can be heard, he calls on the singer to "condemn the Israeli genocide of Gaza". Yorke responds by telling the heckler to "hop up on stage" to make his remarks. "Don't stand there like a coward, come here and say it. You want to...

Disgraced former Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s (R) Tuesday gun range photo op is being mocked online after a reporter was hit while Democrat candidate Lucas Kunce shot at targets that were apparently too close.Davis also noted, “Kinzinger holds his rifle like a complete ninny, and that will never not be funny to me. And pro-tip for Kinzinger: the eye protection works better when it’s on your eyes, not your head. You stupid idiot. Try using your brain for once. You’re lucky you still have one after today.”

Donald Trump has been nearly assassinated twice, but that didn’t stop the far-left Salon from claiming Trump and his supporters are “infected” with a “contagious disease” called “Authoritarian Violence Disorder” and that Trump “is a massive superspreader.” (I don’t link fake news meant to inspire assassins, which is what this obviously is.)

LONDON -- The average size of global wildlife populations have declined by 73% in 50 years, a new study by the World Wildlife Fund has found. The study, titled the 2024 Living Planet Report, monitored wildlife populations of 5,495 species of amphibians, birds, fish, mammals and reptiles between 1970 and 2020. Its findings reveal declines in “every indicator that tracks the state of nature on a global scale." “The findings of this report are alarming,” said Anke Schulmeister-Oldenhove, the senior forest policy officer at the WWF. “EU consumption continues to be a major driver of global biodiversity loss, particularly in...

As if Hurricane Milton’s devastating winds and storm surge were not enough to worry about, a wildlife expert is warning of another danger— hungry alligators. Christopher Gillette, who operates an animal sanctuary in northern Florida, warned his Instagram followers that the alligators “are going to be on the move in the floodwaters” in the wake of the storm. “Make sure you’re staying out of the floodwaters the best you can,” Gillette said in a video crouched beside an alligator. “Obviously there’s emergency situations, people are going to do what they got to do, but if you can try, stay out,”...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz sidestepped questions about his history of lies and misstatements about his biography, claiming the American people did not care about it compared with the threat posed by former President Donald Trump.

FEMA is officially running out of money, and it couldn’t have come at a worse time. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has confirmed that the agency doesn’t have enough funds to make it through the rest of the hurricane season. The situation is dire, and according to Mayorkas, “We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have, but we are expecting another hurricane to hit. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.” With Helene having already caused catastrophic damage across multiple states—destroying homes, flooding entire towns,...

An associate professor for urban and multicultural studies who was appointed by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s education department to craft a new curriculum for “ethnic studies” called for the “overthrow” of the United States.‘The first tenet of critical race theory is that the United States as constructed is irreversibly racist,’ Lozenski said.
