She is a divorcee who says she still feels "uneasy labeling myself as a pastor." Northside Drive Baptist Church announced her hiring last August, highlighting her...

Former President Jimmy Carter hasn’t seen any “significant change” in his health, despite his grandson warning again this week that the 99-year-old’s life was “coming to the end,” according to the director of the former commander in chief’s namesake nonprofit organization. Carter
remains “at home, enjoying peanut butter ice cream and getting the food he wants any time he wants it,” Carter Center CEO Paige Alexander told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast Wednesday. “It’s 15 months of hospice at this point, and he is fully retired,” Alexander explained. “There really hasn’t been a significant change.

It’s a low blow for Joe. Joe Biden is the least popular commander in chief at this point of his presidency in the last 70 years, below even Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter, according to a blistering new poll — imperiling his chances of re-election. Biden,
81, notched a dismal 38.7% job approval rating for the first quarter of 2024, the venerable Gallup Poll found in a survey released Friday, three points lower than that of the one-term George H.W. Bush at the same point in his presidency. “With about six months remaining before Election Day, Biden stands in a...

posted a photo on X on Monday, showing red paint splattered across his office door with the words “Free Gaza” written in what appeared to be red graffiti on the sidewalk in front of the office. “Unhinged anti-Israel activists vandalized my Georgetown office.

Former President Donald Trump argued Tuesday that Jimmy Carter had a “brilliant presidency” compared to successor Joe Biden, deriding his 2024 opponent as the “worst president” in American history. “Biden
is the worst president in the history of our country,” Trump, 77, told reporters outside a bodega in Harlem where clerk Jose Alba infamously stabbed an ex-con to death in self-defense two years ago. “Jimmy Carter’s happy because he’s had a brilliant presidency compared to Biden,” Trump added “Worse than Jimmy Carter by a long shot,” the presumptive Republican nominee for president declared.

Prior to Saturday night, only five wrestlers had ever won four national titles. By
Saturday’s end, the list had grown to seven. Aaron Brooks and Carter Starocci won their fourth national titles only three matches apart from one another. The two cemented themselves in history since they were also the first set of teammates to win four NCAA titles in the same year. Starocci was the first to achieve four titles by a matter of minutes, knocking off Ohio State’s Rocco Welsh 2-0. Brooks quickly followed suit with a 6-1 decision over NC State’s Trent Hidlay.

When President Biden and former President Donald Trump face off in an election rematch this November, one man will remain a one-term president. Trump,
a Republican whom Biden unseated in 2020, seeks to return the favor in 2024 as the incumbent Democratic president struggles with lackluster approval ratings reminiscent of infamous one-term president Jimmy Carter. As of February, Biden's job approval rating stood at 38% in a Gallup poll — less than one point above President Carter's record-low Gallup rating of 37.4% after his third year in office. There is reason to believe that Biden today is in a weaker...

Last month, former President Jimmy Carter marked one year in hospice. After
entering end-of-life care in February 2023, he celebrated his 99th birthday and grieved the death of his wife of 77 years and former first lady, Rosalynn Carter. Even then, Carter was able — with help — to attend her funeral. Even at the end of life, the nation’s longest-living president — someone who “practically no one ever thought” would be elected president, writes the New York Times’ Peter Baker — is defying the odds. According to the National Institutes of Health, more than 90% of patients who enter...

Chris Carter reveals that Disney is working on a new 'X-Files' reboot

When The X-Files debuted back in 1993, nobody has ever seen anything quite like it. Following
FBI agents Fox Mulder (played by David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (played by Gillian Anderson), the show quickly became something of a pop culture sensation - popularizing the idea of government conspiracies and leading whole generations of people to declare "I want to believe". The original show ran until 2002 and spawned two feature films before returning for a brief (though much less successful) two-season stint from 2016-2018. Now, according to the show's original creator Chris Carter, Disney is working on a new X-Files...

resident Joe Biden ends 2023 with his polling numbers still in the doldrums - worse than any other president at the same stage of their first term - as he prepares for an election next year with voters still worrying about the state of the economy. And
that is despite his overall approval rating ticking up slightly. The latest tracking number from Gallup, published Friday, puts Biden's job approval rating at 39 percent, up two points from lows in October and November. That is worse than the last seven presidents in history as they came to the end of their...

Trisha Yearwood, Garth Brooks Mocked for Singing ‘Atheist Anthem’ ‘Imagine’ at Devotedly Christian Roselyn Carter’s Funeral
|

Breitbart ^
| 11/29/2023 | WARNER TODD HUSTON
Superstar country music couple Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks performed an odd song to sing at former first lady Rosalynn Carter’s funeral on Tuesday with John Lennon’s anti-religious, left-wing themed song “Imagine,” even though Carter was a devout Southern Baptist Christian. The singers, dressed all in black, performed an acoustic rendition of
the vapid Lennon song which contains the lyrics “Imagine there’s no Heaven,” “No hell below us Above us, only sky,” and “Imagine… no religion, too.” The pair delivered a nice recitation of the popular, left-wing dream tune, certainly. But to sing that there is no heaven and no...
