🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem 🇮🇱(5/12/26)[Prayer]A New Study For A New Year: PersonalitiesDeuteronomy 4:1-104 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you. 2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. 3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of...

Demographic change, DEI ideology, anti-Israel radicalism, and political cowardice have mainstreamed hostility toward Jews. Few predicted that blaming Israel and the Jews who support it would flare up in the early 21st century—and in America of all places, where there are nearly as many Jews as there are in Israel. After all, Israel is the only consensual society in the Middle East. It holds regular elections and maintains tripartite judicial, executive, and legislative checks and balances. Free speech is found in the Middle East only in Israel, where religious apostasy, criticism of one’s own country, gender equity, and tolerance of...

More than a dozen airports across southern Russia suspended operations on Friday morning, while hundreds of flights were either cancelled or delayed after a Ukrainian drone crashed into the air traffic control center for the region, transportation authorities said. The strike damaged equipment at the control center in Rostov-on-Don, which manages aviation for southern Russia, the Transportation Ministry said. No one was reported injured, but the attack forced the center to suspend work. As a result, airports in southern Russia halted operations, including in the cities of Astrakhan, Vladikavkaz, Volgograd, Gelendzhik, Grozny, Krasnodar, Makhachkala, Magas, Mineralnye Vody, Nalchik, Sochi, Stavropol...

FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has not publicly or privately responded to a top investigative committee in Minnesota’s request for information on her possible ties to the massive fraud scandal, but a recent email from one of her former top staffers to the committee sheds light on how her camp may view the situation and who they blame. "As the District Director for Congresswoman Ilhan Omar from 2019-2022, I read with interest your comments in Session Daily regarding H.R.6187 - MEALS Act," former Omar District Director Kendal Killian wrote in an email, obtained by Fox News Digital, Wednesday...

In 1934, the National Firearms Act (NFA) was passed by Congress. The bill, which became law, was a consolation prize for the Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) administration. The primary purpose of licensing and registration of all handguns had been stripped from the bill because of lobbying by the NRA and Second Amendment supporters. One item left on the bill was an absurdly high tax on silencers/suppressors.The $200 tax was punishingly high. Using the first federal minimum wage adopted a few years later in 1938, it equaled roughly four to five months of full-time wages.Silencers had never been involved much in...

Israel's Conduct in Gaza Does Not Resemble Genocide. David Bernstein | 5.11.2026. Frankly, I find the charge of genocide against Israel to be obviously absurd, one of those claims that true believers insist upon precisely because the claim is so implausible that promoting it is valuable to show you are a true believer. Hence the pressure by anti-Israel activists for everyone who purports to be "pro-Palestinian" to accept the genocide claim, or be excluded from the club. Nevertheless, because the genocide lie is so common in public discourse over Gaza, I thought it would be useful to write a piece...

Kaiser Permanente nurses are protesting the healthcare giant’s plan to terminate at least one nurse who is caught in a monthslong delay renewing her immigration work authorization. The nurse was previously covered by the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which grants temporary protections and work permits to immigrants who came to the country as children without legal status. But DACA-protected people, often called “dreamers,” are facing long renewal delays that are putting recipients’ jobs at risk. The nurse, who was granted anonymity under Hearst’s ethics policy because she fears being deported, filed her DACA renewal paperwork in December...

@MassieforKY Here’s my POSITIVE ad for the FINAL week. This one’s a minute long because I had too much to say to fit into thirty seconds! Let me know what you think.

Officials with the Texas A&M University System have formally objected to the use of the “TexAM University” name by a North Texas Islamic educational entity already facing a state order to cease operations. In a cease-and-desist letter issued Friday, the Texas A&M University System demanded that the Richardson-based organization immediately stop using names, trademarks, domains, and branding elements that officials say infringe upon or dilute Texas A&M’s trademarks. The entity, which brands itself as “TexAM University” or “Texas American Muslim University at Dallas,” has promoted itself as an Islamic-centered institution offering STEM coursework integrated with Islamic studies. According to the...

Screencap of Twitter/X video. This weekend on CNN, liberal contributor Leigh McGowan threw a hissy fit when another panelist, Lydia Moynihan, was talking about the success of Spencer Pratt’s mayoral campaign in Los Angeles. It began with McGowan rolling her eyes but then she exploded when she couldn’t hold it together anymore. This is proof that Pratt is doing well. As Rush Limbaugh always used to say, the left will tell you who they’re afraid of. That’s exactly what is happening here. FOX News has details: CNN panelist Lydia Moynihan and political commentator Leigh McGowan sparred during a heated segment...

Daily Readings from the USCCBJesus said to his disciples: “Now I am going to the one who sent me, and not one of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ But because I told you this, grief has filled your hearts. But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go. For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.” John 16:5–7Each of us experiences grief. The death of a loved one, the loss of a job, and a serious illness are...

OLEDO, Ohio — The Toledo Police Department is looking to have 30% of its force be women by 2030. This is part of a national initiative called 30x30, which aims to change the underrepresentation of women in policing. The Ohio State Highway Patrol has also pledged to try and meet this goal. Including the academy, 109 out of 624 sworn officers in the department are women, making up roughly 17% of the force. This is 3% above the national average, according to the 30x30 Initiative, but the department is looking to grow this number. This isn't just to meet a...

A one-year-old baby is in a St. Louis County, Missouri, hospital with brain bleeding after being brutally beaten and tortured by two suspected illegal aliens, who allegedly recorded the abuse. Antonio Belli-Espejo, 27 years old, and Irais Martinez Santos, 26 years old, have been arrested and charged with one count of felony child abuse each after a one-year-old baby was found unresponsive in an Overland, Missouri, apartment. When first responders arrived at the scene, the baby was unconscious and began having a seizure. The child was rushed to a nearby children’s hospital and is suffering from brain bleeding. Belli-Espejo and...

President Donald Trump has been compared to many historical figures, by opponents (who claim he’s another Adolf Hitler) and by boosters (who cite Andrew Jackson or Teddy Roosevelt). With his blockade of Iran, though, maybe we should start comparing him to Gen. Winfield Scott. In the mid-19th century, Scott was America’s preeminent military mind, the architect of victory in the Mexican War and the “Grand Old Man of the Army.” As the Civil War loomed, he developed a plan to defeat the Confederacy with the smallest number of casualties possible. He called it the Anaconda Plan — and like its...

Longtime NFL quarterback Craig Morton, who led the Denver Broncos to their first Super Bowl appearance, died on Saturday. He was 83. Morton spent the end of his career with the Broncos, and he helped lead them to their first playoff appearance and Super Bowl berth during the 1977 season. The team went 12-2 that year in the regular season before losing to the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl XII. Morton spent 18 years in the league in total, first with the Cowboys after the franchise selected him with the No. 5 overall pick in the 1965 NFL Draft. He...

In the Bible-belt town where I grew up, the virgin Mary had her annual fifteen minutes of fame when December rolled around. You had your shepherds, your angels, and your young maiden kneeling beside the swaddled babe. But after the presents were unwrapped and the nativity brouhaha had quieted down, Mary drifted back into the shadows. Why the Catholics made such a big deal about her never made sense to my Baptist mind. Yes, of course, she had a heart-warming part to play in the Jesus story, but to me, she was merely a minor character. My appreciation for Mary’s...
