Since the city of El Fasher in Sudan fell last weekend to a paramilitary force, images and witness accounts have pointed to an unfolding massacre. Residents were shot as they fled the city through fields. hundreds were killed in a day in the city’s last hospital. Videos show victims being casually executed. the fighters rampaging across Darfur, a region in western Sudan, are better armed, organized and funded than ever. Before, they rode mainly on horses and camels; now, they have armored vehicles and pickups. Before, they torched villages; now, they fire heavy artillery, fly sophisticated drones and have the...

Democrat gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill said she would push for New Jersey classrooms to mandate LGBTQ curriculum with no parental opt-out if she were to become governor.

Parents have a right to opt out of a lot of things, but this...

Author’s note: This article was first published on Monday, June 12, 2006. Considering we are, I believe, in the time that’s “as it was in the days of Noah” foretold by Jesus (Luke 17:26), I believe it’s good to again think a bit on the obvious invasion from the evil dimension the world faces. We know of the violence taking place in the world today. It might even be equal to the violence of those antediluvian times. However, the other primary evil of Noah’s day is a bit harder to equate to this day and time. The other “evil” I...

Try to stand back and objectively look at the span of time here on earth, from the Tower of Babel with its global catalyst of godlessness and passion to live an existence without Almighty God, to the worldly brilliance and idolatrous society of Egypt. From the autocratic power of the Babylonians to the strength of the Medes and the Persian Empire. From the conquering speed and philosophy of Greece to the decadent and oppressive Roman Empire. From the genius and barbarity of the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas, to the godless vacuum of the European nations and lust for war. All...

Created by Elon Musk, xAI's Grok has introduced AI ‘companions’ — and one of them targeted toward children refers users to Planned Parenthood, likening abortion to simply “turning off a light.” According to a July 2025 article from Tom's Guide, Grok's companions are "AI chatbots that are assigned specific personalities for you to interact with...." Tom's reviewer Alex Hughes adds, with concern, that "[M]ost of the larger AI companies with strong reputations have stayed clear of this world, primarily because of the pretty expansive ethical problems that come attached with providing people with ‘AI relationships’." Grok's companions, Hughes writes, each...

Antifa terrorists, gang members and rioters are endangering federal officers in American cities.President Trump awarded my friend Charlie Kirk a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom this month. As a country, we need to honor Charlie’s memory, face some hard facts and take action. Before it’s too late. Charlie’s assassination forced Americans to confront a dark truth: Leftist extremists are waging war on the rule of law, liberty and our way of life. Terrorists, gang members and rioters routinely attack federal law-enforcement officers working to reimpose order after years of chaos under the Biden administration. Our officers have been shot at...

Shocking revelations from earlier this month out of Chicago should jolt every American out of complacency when it comes to public safety. A commander in the Chicago Police Department ordered officers not to respond to calls for help from federal law-enforcement agents who were under duress, surrounded by vehicles and under threat. This should not be dismissed as just a Chicago problem. It is a real, present warning sign for all of us of how deeply fractured our policing institutions have become. What happened in Chicago is not an isolated incident. Rather, it represents the next inflection point in a...

The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, the second-highest-ranking cleric in the Church of England, acknowledged the pain the decision would cause. “We believe we have done the right thing,” he said, citing legal and theological guidance, “but we know it will be difficult and disappointing for some.” The Church of England has once again found itself caught between the demands of doctrine and the pressures of a changing world. In mid-October, its bishops voted to suspend a long-anticipated plan that would have tested separate blessing ceremonies for same-sex couples — a move hailed by traditionalists and lamented by reformers. The...

If only the peasants would just surrender! When I saw this headline in the opinion pages of the WSJ, I had high hopes that some scientist pointed out that politicians and bureaucrats can’t control the climate: We Can’t Stop Climate Change, So We Need to Prepare for ItSadly, I was wrong. The article was a pure piece of garbage, essentially claiming that despite the work of green pushers to scare everyone into capitulation to the radical green agenda, people just won’t cooperate. The writers complain that, “Around the world, people are giving priority to higher living standards, economics, and access...
