WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will appear on Megyn Kelly's "The Kelly File" on Fox News on Wednesday night as part of a two-part interview. The two are expected to discuss the possibility of a WikiLeaks “October surprise” that could impact the presidential election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. .

Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund has made an iconic purchase in America — a stake in the company that owns New York’s Empire State Building. The $622-million purchase by the Qatar Investment Authority comes as the Doha fund increases its investments in the US as the small country on the Arabian Peninsula tries to cope with low global oil and gas prices.

Jehoram King of Judah 2 Chronicles 2:4 When Jehoram established himself firmly over his father’s kingdom, he put all his brothers to the sword along with some of the officials of Israel. 5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. 6 He followed the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done, for he married a daughter of Ahab. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord. 7 Nevertheless, because of the covenant the Lord had made with David, the Lord was not willing to...

Although homosexual men are a tiny sliver of the U.S. population, they account for the majority of all Americans living with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced. Men who have sex with men (MSM) are two percent of the population but make up 55 percent of people who were HIV-positive in 2013, according to a CDC fact sheet released last Wednesday. More than nine out of 10 new HIV diagnoses (92 percent) come from young gay and bisexual MSM, ages 13 to 24. If these trends continue, one of every...

Started an hour early. Rewind a bit to rudy first.

Interesting news from PA

When I was a child, I associated "muslim"with Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan. As a teenager, I learned that Indonesia is the world's most populous muslim nation, and that only one in five muslims are Arab. As an adult, I have tended to associate Islam with Iran, which is overwhelmingly a Caucasian nation. In short, I have no racial profile for Islam. Islam is a religion, not a race. Race-baiting liberals like Paul Ryan and the fast-failing radio talker, Charlie Sykes, insist that any scrutiny of the practitioners of Islam is racist. This reveals their immature personalities; but, even more...

Looking at the picture of Hillary reading a document. Can someone blow up the document to see what it says? Since it is on the news I would assume it is available for all to see.

I was talking to an electronics supplier on the phone this morning and had to state the model number to the Sales Rep. As we all do, in order to clarify, we spell it out. When I came to a "D", I actually said, "D as in Donald". It came out so innocently that I stopped in mid-sentence and snickered. The Rep laughed too, when I said I must be watching too much election coverage. Amazingly, he responded, "We're getting a lot of that particular spelling for "D" lately, he's great isn't he?" What a surprise! Donald is becoming a...

The suicide bomber who attacked a wedding party in the southeastern Turkish city of Gaziantep on Saturday killing 51 people was a child between the ages of 12 and 14, President Tayyip Erdogan said. “Initial evidence suggests it was a Daesh attack,” Erdogan said, using an Arabic name for ISIS, during a visit to Gaziantep after the attack. He said 69 people were in hospital and 17 were “heavily injured”. ISIS has been blamed for other attacks in Turkey, often targeting Kurdish gatherings in an effort to inflame ethnic tensions. The deadliest one was last October, when suicide bombers killed...

Can Christians come together and claim Christianophobe? Why not?

On the Political Insiders segment of Fox Report Weekend this evening, John Leboutillier said the reason Hillary is winning in the swing states right now is she (and her PAC) have spent multi-millions on anti-Trump ads in the these states where the election will be won (or lost). Also, Hillary is attempting to raise 1 billion dollars! LeBoutillier said that Trump needs to take 100 million of his money and put it into his own anti-Hillary ads, or he's unlikely to win the election. I think he's right. I know the Trump campaign has begun to air ads but they've...

How realistic is it to expect a global event to be entirely detached from global politics? "Two disaffected black athletes from the United States put on a public display of petulance that sparked one of the most unpleasant controversies in Olympics history and turned the high drama of the games into theatre of the absurd." That is how the Time Magazine chose to describe the now iconic scene of Tommie Smith and John Carlos raising black-gloved fists high while standing atop the medal pedestal and refusing to look at the American flag. The year, of course, was 1968. Months earlier,...

ROCK HILL Donald Trump despises the media, and so do I. He says the media is out to get him, and they are. Except me. I love Donald Trump. He never changes. Even Thursday night in Charlotte, when he said he regrets a few words he has said. Sure he has insulted people. So have I, and I have been insulted sometimes. I deserved it. Still, I would never vote for him, even for dogcatcher. Trump brought his primary campaign to Winthrop University in January, I predicted his romp to the Republican nomination, running roughshod over such poor alternatives as...

I think Hollywood could have saved itself some turmoil this year, and made a few bucks in the process, if it had held off on the new Ghostbusters movie and gone for something a little more current. ThereÂ’s a great story sitting on the scriptwriting tarmac, just waiting for the proper writers to put a little creative wind under its wings. It may be seen as a cross between The Price is Right and a State Department version of Casino Royale. The plot: shady individuals in the U.S. government load up a huge cargo plane with pallets of stacked hundred-dollar...

Archaeologists unearthed the ruins of a synagogue near Mount TaborLimestone benches line the walls where worshippers would have sat It sits within a Jewish village thought to date back to the first century ADThe New Testament states Jesus visited village synagogues in Galilee  An unusual rural ancient synagogue that dates back to shortly after the time of Jesus has been unearthed in Galilee.  The rare find – a huge 29 feet long and 26 feet wide room with walls lined by limestone benches – promises to add weight to stories about Jesus in the Bible.  Most synagogues dating from around...

There are some who see the prospect of Hillary Clinton winning the U.S. presidency as a milestone for modern feminism and women in general. Yet Clinton’s decades-long march to the White House owes much of its success to her rapscallion, silver-tongued husband, Bill Clinton. She did not storm the citadel of male power and privilege from the outside; she was escorted in under the banner of one of its most flamboyant high achievers. She came into politics by the back door of her mate’s male prowess. She may be the first female presidential nominee for a major party, but it’s...
