• Republican Not Off the Hook Yet After Impeachment Acquittal - Biden's DOJ Will Make Sure of It

  19-09-2023 23:48
  
  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is not yet off the hook.
  The 60-year-old Republican is back on the job, being acquitted by the state Senate last week after a more than three-month suspension as a result of being impeached by the state house on charges of bribery and abuse of power.
  The Senate failed to gain even a simple majority for conviction, much less the required supermajority of 21 of 30 votes.
  There’s expectation Paxton’s next problem will be the U.S. Department of Justice a

• Christians Beware: 'Sparkle Creed' Openly Mocks God in Most Blasphemous Way

  19-09-2023 23:14
  
  Micah 2:1 refers to the wicked and how they stay up at night thinking up evil in their beds.
  One of these newest evils comes in the open blaspheming of one of the oldest creeds of the Christian faith known as the “Apostles’ Creed” or the “Old Roman Creed.”
  The Apostles’ Creed dates back as far as the 4th Century AD and has stood as an affirming statement of faith for Western Christianity ever since.
  The Apostles’ Creed stated, “I believe in God the

• New Maui Evidence: Fire Gained Unstoppable Momentum While Firefighters Were on Lunch Break

  19-09-2023 23:13
  
  A new report suggests that a 40-minute period in which a brush fire on Maui was not being monitored was the critical window during which what had been a small fire morphed into a raging blaze that devastated the town of Lahaina, Hawaii.
  The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that a fire that began at 6:37 a.m. Aug. 8 when a Hawaiian Electric power line was downed was considered fully extinguished when firefighters who had been watching the site left it at 2:18 p.m. for a lunch break.

• Portland's Liberal Hellhole: Crime Skyrocketing Along with Police Response Times Following 'Defund the Police' Calls - Report

  Oregon’s biggest city still has not recovered from the destructive rioting in the wake of the death of George Floyd in 2020, and the resulting “defund the police” has seriously undermined the Portland Police Bureau as crime skyrockets and dwindling police resources slow response times.

  Despite accusing the right of “white supremacy,” the savior complex is actually a leftist problem.
  Influenced by Marxist ideologies, leftists often ally with immigrants and Muslims, whom they perceive as “oppressed.”
  They assume that their stance on open borders and “representation in movies,” ingratiates all immigrants to them so much that they could hold hands and sing Kumbaya while simultaneously spitting on an image of former President Donald Trump.

• The Left Is Wrong About Overpopulation

  19-09-2023 22:34
  
  At the core of many modern leftist obsessions lies a centuries-old canard — namely, that your existence poses a problem.
  Indeed, modern leftists have become the intellectual heirs of Thomas Malthus, the late-18th and early 19th-century English political economist who argued that population growth strains limited resources.
  Much in modern leftist ideology qualifies as neo-Malthusian, for it assumes the truth of overpopulation.
  However, according to the 2022 book “Superabundance:

  “Isolation” and its companion “fear” are effective ways of dividing and conquering. Just look how the combination was used most recently. We stayed in our homes for almost three full years.
  Escalating crime is being used for this very same purpose. Once unleashed and beyond the tipping point, crime won’t magically go away. Just the opposite.
