Why do the rioters trashing Paris wave the ‘Palestinian’ flag? Because to them, France is Israel and they’re the ‘Palestinians’ out to destroy it and replace it with their own terrorist state. The ‘white’ in the ‘Palestinian’ flag represents the Umayyad caliphate which had once invaded France, conquered Narbonne, and genocided its Christian population, until it was thrown back by indigenous Christian resistance at the Battle of Toulouse and the Battle of Tours. The past Islamic conquest of France is just one of the symbols in the ‘Palestinian’ flag. The ubiquitous presence of the ‘Palestinian’ flag at riots from New...

The feds raided at least two Brooklyn adult day cares Tuesday as part of a sweeping probe into more than 100 sites suspected of Medicaid fraud involving everything from money laundering to kickbacks, officials said. The crackdown is part of a monthslong “massive effort to combat fraud and abuse” involving taxpayer dollars and some of the state’s most vulnerable people, Gov. Kathy Hochul said. “We are targeting providers we believe who engaged in illegal activity ranging from money laundering to kickbacks to improper billing and other fraudulent activities,” Hochul said at an unrelated press conference. The probe has been investigating...

"The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes" (Ps. 19:8). Obedience to the Word is the hallmark of a true believer. It isn't popular these days to speak of God's Word as a book of commandments. Commands imply law and we're accustomed to grace. But the fact is, both the Old and New Testaments contain many commandments that all God's people are to obey. The apostle John said, "By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. The one who says, 'I have come to know Him,' and does not keep...

There is nothing Catholic about Catholics for Choice, and its leader in Missouri is not a Catholic priest, though she claims to be one. To say we are dealing with false advertising is an understatement—this is a stealth campaign designed to confuse the public about the true nature of Catholicism, funded by fat cat anti-Catholic bigots who work in prominent foundations. This is nothing new. The faux Catholic entity was founded as Catholics for a Free Choice in 1973, the year Roe v. Wade legalized abortion. The person who led it was Father Joseph O’Rourke. But he didn’t last long—he...

A bronze statue of an Etruscan man wearing a toga found in 1567 may have been deliberately turned black some 2,200 years ago, according to the Greek Reporter. Historical accounts of the discovery indicate that the sculpture was green when it was unearthed. It had been previously thought that the statue, known as the Arringatore ("Orator") of Pila, turned black over time through a natural corrosion process. Conservators, including Salvatore Siano of the Institute of Applied Physics "Nello Carrara" and Sonia Mugnaini of the University of Siena, removed brown coatings on the statue, and found smooth, nearly black areas on...

According to the Greek Reporter, a lead figurine depicting Venus Pudica has been unearthed at a Roman settlement in Hungary. Bence Simon of Eötvös Loránd University said that the statue of the nude Venus covering her body with her hands is the first religious object uncovered at the site of Pilisszentiván-Hárs.

La Brújula Verde reports that 13 impressions left in travertine in northeastern Spain's Abric Romaní rock shelter have been identified as wooden tools made by Neanderthals who lived in the region between 40,000 and 62,000 years ago. According to Palmira Saladié, Gema Chacón, and Josep Vallverdú of the Catalan Institute of Human Paleoecology and Social Evolution, the impressions were made when the wooden objects were coated with water rich in calcium carbonate. The wood eventually decayed but left a hollow in the sediments. In all, the rock shelter contains about 66 feet of sediments laid down over thousands of years....

Haaretz reports that Emma Pomeroy of the University of Cambridge and her colleagues examined the remains of Shanidar A, a Neanderthal of about 45 years of age who was buried in Iraqi Kurdistan's Shanidar Cave some 75,000 years ago. The researchers suggest that the individual had been killed when a weapon, likely a sharpened stick, was forced into his chest from the front, passed through a lung, and punched a hole in his left shoulder blade. Similar holes have been identified in fossilized animal bones. About a year before his death, this individual had also suffered facial injuries, including a...
