Galilee, Israel) — Shalom from Israel! I trust that all of you had a blessed time celebrating the birth of the Messiah. It is because of God’s love for us that His Son, Jesus, came to this earth to live, die, and resurrect to new life. Through Jesus’ sacrifice, we can receive eternal life, as we read in the gospels: John 3:16 KJV – “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” I pray that you take the joy and hope that come...

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Health officials and people trapped inside Gaza’s largest hospital rejected Israel’s claims that it was helping babies and others evacuate Sunday, saying fighting continued just outside the facility where incubators lay idle with no electricity and critical supplies were running out. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed urgent calls for a cease-fire unless it includes the release of all the nearly 240 hostages captured by Hamas in the Oct. 7 rampage that triggered the war. A day after Netanyahu said Israel was bringing its “full force” with the aim of ending Hamas’ 16-year rule...

Did a Rssian precision strike supposedly destroyed an underground "NATO command center" in Ukraine earlier this month, with "dozens" of Western officers and military personnel purportedly killed in the "Kinzhal" (or "Dagger) missile attack. At least, that is the claim circulating on some social media channels, including those known for spreading pro-Kremlin talking points and Russian propaganda. In some cases the claim was supported by a photo of the supposed strike site, showing large-scale devastation and a burned-down building.

A new "woke" series on the Discovery+ video streaming service highlights "queer" historical figures in an alternative retelling of history. "To celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, we are setting the historical record straight and introducing 'The Book of Queer' right at the top of Pride Month," Howard Lee, president of TLC streaming and network originals, said in a statement. "We couldn't be any more excited to have Margaret Cho, Leslie Jordan, Dominique Jackson, Alex Newell, Ross Matthews as well as an impressive and talented group of historians, actors and musicians spilling the tea alongside us." According to a press release from...

For many people, the Uvalde, Texas, mass shooting—which claimed the lives of at least 19 children and two adults—seemed all the more horrible after they learned it was the 27th school shooting so far this year. That fact makes it harder to view Uvalde as any kind of isolated incident. An NPR article highlighting this statistic has been shared frequently on social media. The headline, "27 school shootings have taken place so far this year," probably gave many readers the impression that gun-related killings in schools have been especially high this year, even before Uvalde. Naturally, the prospect of 26...

Great point made by Computing Forever in this Millenniyule podcast: The digital identity “vaccine passports” are essentially a new form of citizenship that is required to participate in society — or the new society that is being built around us, at least. However, unlike an apartheid system, where the un-“vaccinated” would be granted access to segregated areas of society and kept separate from the “vaccinated,” we are instead treated as non-citizens and totally removed from society all together. So, the official social credit system (whenever it arrives) will function as an endless citizenship exam for the New World Order, with...

The New York Times and liberal commentators mocked a middle class family that spends high sums of money on milk as a result of inflation via Twitter Thursday. Larry and Krista Stotler, a married couple from Texas, told CNN correspondent Evan McMorris-Santoro that inflation has burdened their large family when it comes to buying groceries. Krista said the rise of dairy prices has caused her family to purchase twelve gallons of milk for $2.79 per gallon a week, up from $1.99 previously. She said that they would have paid $150-$200 on groceries back in March in comparison to the approximate...

On MSNBC’s lection coverage Tuesday, as Republican Glenn Youngkin was on his way to building a strong lead in the Virginia gubernatorial race, the topic turned to critical race theory. Joy Reid said, “He's found a way to launder a pretty racist trope. This idea that we cannot talk about America's history, because it hurts my feelings. He's turned that into a campaign. And I think what Democrats have to worry about is if he succeeds, and he wins, that is going to be the campaign model for every single Republican that's running in 2022.” MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow took...

An Emergency Room nurse fired for not taking the shot after his religious exemption was denied has spoken candidly to LifeSiteNews about what he saw on the so-called frontlines during the COVID-19 crisis. In a video interview published yesterday, former Valley Health System nurse Brad McDowell spoke to LifeSite correspondent Jim Hale about the contrast between what he has witnessed and the story being told by the media regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. “The narrative that we’re being told didn’t really line up with reality,” McDowell stated. “Most people of working age aren’t of a risk [for contracting COVID].” Addressing the...

Far-left media outlet Slate claimed on Thursday that there was “no evidence of election irregularities” in the audit of Maricopa County’s 2020 Election results. This is simply false. Is it any surprise that two of the main authors of the partisan election review in Arizona didn’t even show up to Thursday’s hearing by the House Oversight Committee to investigate their report? The so-called audit in Maricopa County found no evidence of election irregularities and even turned up more votes for President Joe Biden. But that hasn’t stopped the review’s leaders from suggesting Trump won in Arizona. Yet on Thursday, two...

On Election night 2020 six battleground states announced they were going to quit counting before midnight and go home for the night. The six states all had Democratic governors, except for Georgia who had Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. President Trump was ahead in each state before the “pauses.” Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia and Nevada mysteriously quit counting around midnight. At least, that is what was announced. We know now that counting continued in several of the Democrat strongholds and ballots were shipped in by van in the dead of the night to at least...

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump commented for the first time on Saturday on the hacking campaign that has torn through U.S. government and businesses that many experts believe is the work of Russian intelligence and downplayed the security breach as well as attempted to deflect blame away from Russia. Trump's comments contradict what members of his own government have said about the hack and it is the latest example of his unwillingness to criticize Russia, which U.S. intelligence agencies have said interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump. "The Cyber Hack is far greater in the Fake News Media...

Thousands of people cheered and chanted “USA! USA!” Monday night as President Donald Trump held his first campaign rally outside Washington since his coronavirus diagnosis 11 days ago. President Trump returned to my home state of Florida today with thousands of people turning out to cheer him on, when you compare that to any Joe Biden rally that never gets more than a few dozen people, it makes you wonder how accurate all these polls from the fake news media really are. I’m kidding. Those polls are as fake as a three dollar bill, Donald Trump is doing so well...

President Trump stepped up criticism of China, part of an international backlash over the outbreak. President Trump accused the Chinese government of making a “horrible mistake” in its coronavirus response and of then orchestrating a cover-up that allowed the pathogen to spread around the world. “My opinion is they made a mistake. They tried to cover it, they tried to put it out. It’s like a fire,” Mr. Trump said on Sunday night during a virtual town hall on Fox News. “You know, it’s really like trying to put out a fire. They couldn’t put out the fire.” China did...

Here comes POTUS - 5 pm or thereabouts!

DOWNING Street was last night livid with Donald Trump for endangering British troops by assassinating Iranian military chief Qasem Soleimani without any warning. In a serious breach of protocol between key allies, the US president didnÂ’t tell Boris Johnson about the Baghdad missile strike on the terror mastermind. The attack sparked immediate overnight concern for the safety of 400 British troops stationed in Iraq and fears they could be targeted for revenge. In a snub to the White House, the British Government refused to give any public support for the killing yesterday. As fears also rose for the precarious deal...

You must have a heart of stone not to burst into uncontrollable, hysterical laughter at the agony of the failing New York Times and the rest of the media over how conservative activists are going to apply the same internet colonoscopy to lib journalistas as they apply to us. Monsters! Fascists! Meanies! Oh yeah, that’s the ticket. Drink in their pain. Drink it all in. Mmmmm, that’s some delicious pain. Yeah, conservatives are fighting back, and to the other side it’s an assault on the free press and further evidence that Trump is totally Hitler and probably Stalin too. But...

Special counsel Robert Mueller found ample evidence to convict President Donald Trump of obstruction of justice. His investigation uncovered multiple attempts by the president to hamper his investigation into potential misconduct by Trump and his associates. This evidence is incredibly damning and would seem to clearly meet the requirements for an obstruction charge. As he wrote in his report, Mueller only declined to indict the president because the Office of Legal Counsel, which provides legal advice to the executive branch, claimed that he could not. Instead, Mueller made the case for obstruction in his meticulous report, providing a road map...

What the hell!? This alarms hell out of me. I remember reading about the 93 total people, only 8 or 9 of which were actual Congress Critters. They mentioned Pelosi's family included on the plane. The "Source URL" link above is to a Free Republic thread on the topic. That thread provides a CNN link. The FR thread was posted at 5:24 PM on 01/18/2019 (is it safe to assume PST?). The linked CNN article was "Updated 7:02 PM ET, Fri January 18, 2019". That would have been 4:02 PM PT. So, today I'm in a discussion about this in...

[PHOTO] It seems to me that Democrats and their lap-dog media are liars. Democrats and their media no longer care about America and Americans. They seem to be all about destroying—killing—America. They are about ruining Trump. They promote “patriotic” illegals over and above real Americans. Everyone of us conservatives already knows this. What bothers me more, and what I’m writing about here, is a mystery of how and why the remainder of America views these lying elites. How can they be seen as near demigods, mythic, glorious in truth, justice, and the socialist way? DEMOCRAT MEDIA, 2019. A BUNCH OF...
