A lucky break like that is enough for some to devote the rest of their lives to being thankful and doing good works.

Every time I hear a story like this, I think of Buddy Holly’s rhythm guitar player, who gave up his seat on an airplane to another performer who, minutes later, lost his life in the crash that killed Holly and The Big Bopper. Who was he? One of my favorite country music artists - Waylon Jennings.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) is taking a strong stand to protect federal law enforcement officers from the dangerous and growing threat of doxxing— publicly revealing someone’s private or personal information online. Her new legislation aims to safeguard the privacy and safety of those who put their lives on the line to keep Americans safe by making it a federal crime to publish their personal information online maliciously. This comes as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have increasingly been targeted by anti-ICE activists who have escalated their efforts to disrupt immigration enforcement and

This week is significant for Christians worldwide, including myself, as we commemorate Jesus Christ’s death and sacrifice on Good Friday and celebrate his resurrection on Easter Sunday. However, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has announced new regulations that will severely restrict foreign missionaries in China starting May 1. Citing the need to combat “extremism” and protect national security, these measures threaten religious freedoms. Under the new regulation, foreign missionaries must obtain government approval for lectures, sermons, and group activities, facing a burdensome application process that details the date, time, location, and attendees.

San Francisco was once a shining example of a great American city, but now it is mostly a punchline. The metropolis that gave us epic Mark Twain quotes, Levi’s, an iconic music scene, the Golden Gate Bridge, and so much more is now known more for excrement on the street, crime, mass drug addiction, and homeless people sprawled across the sidewalks.

“Mass Deportations Now.” It wasn’t just a slogan on signs — it was a rallying cry that galvanized millions of voters. The promise was the restoration of American sovereignty through the removal of all illegal aliens — not just the violent ones. Americans understand that national unity requires assimilation, and assimilation is impossible when millions pour in illegally and remain indefinitely. The message that won the election was not “Mass Deportations, But Only For The Worst Offenders.” But on Thursday President Donald Trump posted the following on Truth Social: “Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking

(image)There is obviously a significant majority of MAGA Republicans who do not want the U.S. military involved in more foreign conflict. Also, it’s obvious this is not a scientific poll and more of a ‘sense’ amid the people who use Twitter; people who are often the strongest political influence voices for American politicians; but still, that is quite a remarkable outcome.

"No Kings" events in Anoka and northeast Minneapolis have been canceled so far on Saturday, following the targeted shootings at the homes of two Minnesota lawmakers.
