Just recently, the Episcopal Church—a totally apostate harlot that bears no resemblance whatsoever to the Bride of Christ—unveiled a new logo. This new “Pride shield” shamelessly merges the historic Episcopal shield with the garish colors of the LGBTQABCDEFG+++ Pride flags. The arrogance of such a move is astounding. One must marvel at the sheer irony of a so-called “church,” one that claims to represent Christ, celebrating what the Bible explicitly condemns. In Romans 1, we see a clear depiction of God’s wrath against humanity’s unrighteousness and sexual immorality. It states unequivocally that those who suppress the truth in unrighteousness are...

PHILADELPHIA — President Biden lashed out Wednesday at a reporter who asked if he planned to complete a full second term or hand over power to Vice President Kamala Harris sometime before January 2029 — before speaking to a rally at a half-full school gym. “Are you OK?” the 81-year-old president shouted in response across the tarmac at Philadelphia International Airport, pointing his finger at his head. “Are you all right? You’re not hurt, are you?” Biden added, addressing the pool reporter who asked the question. The reporter then asked if the president could “approach,” due to the difficulty in...

Conservative radio host and litigator Mark Levin said Wednesday that former President Donald Trump should immediately appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court if convicted by a Manhattan jury, due to serious constitutional issues. MY LEGAL ADVICE TO PRESIDENT TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS: NEXT STEP U.S. SUPREME COURT In Bush v. Gore, the United States Supreme Court interceded in the Florida Supreme Court’s deliberations because that Court was changing the Florida voting system on the fly, thereby violating the EQUAL… — Mark R.

On this date in 1879, Sacramento County public administrator Troy Dye was hanged for murder, along with the Swedish goon whom he’d hired to do the dirty work. A 36-year-old father of three, Dye was a prosperous tavern owner in the California capital who volunteered at the Sunday school. In 1877, voters entrusted him with the necessary public office of managing intestate estates. In retrospect one can safely say that Dye was not cut out for the public trust. The position entailed a percentage claim on the estate so handled, which meant in practice that it was a thankless burden...

1:33 CNN poll analyst Harry Enten said Wednesday on “News Central” that polling shows most voters don’t care about the New York business records case against former President Donald Trump. Enten said, “It feels like only yesterday to me, John, that it began, but apparently, it is 44 days. You crack the numbers, you’ve run the numbers. All right, let’s take a look here. Think Trump did something illegal in the New York hush money case. I’ve been interested in whether or not these numbers will change at all during the course of this trial?” He added, “Simply put, they...

Many have seen their hours reduced—or have lost their jobs entirely.California now leads the nation in imposing dumb wage laws. The state just raised the hourly minimum wage for fast food workers to $20. Gov. Gavin Newsom said, "We saw the inequities….We had a responsibility to do more." Unions pushed for the higher minimum, and in Democrat-run states, unions usually get what they want. CNN announced, "Half a million California fast food workers will now earn $20 per hour." Gullible leftists at the Center for American Progress claim, "A higher minimum wage would boost millions of families out of poverty...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren condemned Israel for killing Palestinian civilians with bombs that she had voted to send Israel.Bombs kill people. When someone provides bombs to a government at war, those weapons will be used to kill people. It's a simple fact but one that seems to have eluded Democrats. After voting to send bombs to the Israeli military, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.) condemned the Israeli military for killing Palestinian civilians with an American-made bomb. And after urging the Israeli military to use smaller munitions, the Biden administration found itself scrambling to deal with a mass civilian casualty event caused by...

Nikki Haley, a former GOP presidential candidate and United Nations ambassador, wrote “Finish them” on an artillery shell while on a trip to Israel this week. Haley was photographed signing the shell Tuesday in a social media post by Danny Danon, Israel’s former ambassador to the United Nations and a member of the Israeli Parliament. The message on the shell read, “Finish them! America [heart] Israel always, Nikki Haley.” “This is what my friend, the former ambassador, Nikki Haley wrote today about a shell during a visit to an artillery post on the northern border,” Danon wrote in a post...

...As a young man, I was struck by how masterfully Buckley built an entire movement and kept it going by force of personality. Even then, however, I was increasingly turned off by Buckley’s crusading anti-Communism—and that was long before he wandered off in a neoconservative direction. I also became concerned with how Buckley lavished favors on his buddies on the left and the manner in which he inserted them into National Review, and then on his TV interview program, Firing Line. By the 1990s, Buckley made only feeble attempts to defend longtime friends and loyal employees who came under assault...

Court documents said the Honorable Pamela Honeycutt of the Craighead County Circuit Court sentenced 18-year-old Austin Mayfield-Moore, of Paragould, to 24 months probation and 30 days suspended imposition of sentence on Friday, May 24 after pleading guilty to unauthorized use of another person’s property to facilitate certain crime, first-degree criminal mischief, and criminal trespassing in or on a vehicle or structure.

Progressives love to bully the right for taking a political stance in the pulpit, but nobody plays politics in the pulpit better than these radicalized, unhinged leftists. In a recently surfaced video clip, in a laughable display of political theater, Atlanta pastor Gregory Sutton anointed deranged Trump prosecutor, Fani Willis, with oil. Willis’ appearance at Jackson Memorial Baptist “Church” took place during Sunday morning service on Pentecost Sunday on May 19. It’s hard to decide what’s more appalling—the blatant twisting of Scripture or the sheer audacity of the whole spectacle. Let’s start with Sutton’s stunning eisegesis—no, worse, narcisgesis—of Isaiah 54:17....

JUST IN: NBC reports that Trump's defense team is "newly animated" and have "cracked" a smile while the District Attorney's team looks "tense and apprehensive" in New York.

His concerns now appear prescient as new data reveal a significant uptick in delinquency rates in the first quarter of 2024. "If the delinquency rate of consumer loans starts rising, that is often a leading indicator that things are about to get worse," Goolsbee stated.

A swastika was discovered on one of the walls in the college, and "7.10 - only Palestine" was engraved on one of the tables. At the beginning of the month, it was revealed in Kan 11 that students at the institution drew hearts next to pictures of terrorists. A new case of displays of hatred and anti-Semitism at the David Yelin College in Jerusalem was discovered today (Wednesday). At the college, a painting of a swastika was found on one of the walls of the college and on one of the tables was written: "7.10 - only Palestine". The president...

President Trump is on trial in New York for allegedly falsifying business records because the bookkeepers in his organization recorded certain legal expenses — specifically, a legal settlement — as “legal expenses.” According to Democrat prosecutors, the bookkeepers should have recorded these payments as campaign contributions and expenditures because, they say, the payments were “intended” to “influence” the 2016 election “unlawfully” by concealing a purported sexual encounter with a pornographer.Convoluted and bizarre enough for you yet? It should be. Because there is absolutely nothing “unlawful” about concealing a purported sexual encounter with a pornographer.There is, nevertheless, a good deal of...

Canadians’ wages, wealth, and productivity are falling amid a massive inflow of poor migrants, yet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants to expand citizenship to the foreign-born children of the migrants who take low-wage jobs from Canadians. “That’s bonkers,” responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “There are tens of millions of people around the world who would do [the Canadian jobs] for room and board — who would do it for free and hustle a little extra money on the side to pay for food! — if the consequence was that their kids would all be able...
