“YouGov data and the Bible Society’s 'Quiet Revival' report reveal two million more attendees packed pews in 2024 than 2018 - with Gen Z's aged 18-24 miraculously quadrupling from 4 to 16 per cent. Even Bible sales in the UK have almost doubled in five years…” www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2087...

“As part of a study to be published this week by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, we compiled and analyzed a data set of 750 attacks and plots in the United States from January 1, 1994, to July 4, 2025.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Well that's more than a little disgusting, but not surprising.

“That conversation never happened because the clip was cut in half. Why?… That omission was deliberate and strategic so you would form an opinion about a person without using your own personal judgment.” www.instagram.com/reel/DOxaVTK...

“Attempted assassinations of presidential candidates, public executions of healthcare CEOs, and political influencers seems to be in line with what leftists want.”

From Conservative, George Marlin. “Sliwa has no path to victory. A vote for Sliwa is a vote for Mamdani.”

I kind of think Trump's thoughts on Kash Patel were that he'd be loyal and his appointment would drive the libs crazy. He didn't think ahead to a time when even Republicans want an FBI director that projects some level of competence and doesn't have the chill of a raccoon caught in a garbage can.

'Non-binary is the gender identity you end up claiming if you’re a feminist who’s made the category “woman” uninhabitable for any female human with an ounce of self-respect.'

This scene is a perfect response to anyone who may happen to ask "Why do you love movies so much?"❤️💔 #RobertRedford #RIP

The most dangerous aspect of social media is the way it essentially crowdfunds "truth," regardless of whether or not that "truth" is actually *true.* People assume that something's "true" because their preferred social media mob has deemed it to be so. Individual thought is an endangered species.

“Let peace begin with me. Let this be the moment now. With every step I take, Let this be my solemn vow.”

Cox encouraged everyone listening to “log off” and do good in their communities, including reaching out to people with different political perspectives.

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox called the killing of conservative commentator and activist Charlie Kirk a “watershed” moment Friday, and suggested Americans must choose whether his death becomes “the end of a dark chapter in our history or the beginning of a darker chapter.”

Charlie Kirk engaged in civil debate not “spreading lies.” When facts and data don’t align with your ideological beliefs, that’s not a lie. It’s reality meeting magical thinking.

“NYC rich and powerful flock to Cuomo with cash — and job offers to lure Adams out of the race” www.nydailynews.com

Russia would kill innocent people in Czechia just like it does in Ukraine, the Czech intelligence service’s chief Michal Koudelka said today.

The smart way to pre-empt Trump’s sending federal troops to your town, instead of toothless city ordinances and empty bravado: Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott combine their resources to further bring down crime in the state’s largest city.

“Billionaire Bill Ackman announced he is backing Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s mayoral race — in a dramatic about-face after he previously endorsed Mayor Eric Adams, claiming the former New York governor did not have the energy to defeat surging socialist Zohran Mamdani.”

“Women’s rights are human rights” echoed around the world.

“Today Jim Walden put ego and ambition aside for the good of New York City. His decision underscores the existential threat our city faces in Zohran Mamdani — a dangerously inexperienced 33-year-old socialist with no meaningful work experience, no record

The UK prosecuting speech and arresting little girls for defending themselves while ignoring gang rapes seems bitterly ironic.

“We’re trying to figure out what we can do, and we don’t want to step into the business of states, counties, and municipal governments,” Bessent said. “I think everything is on the table.”

If someone now deserve a Nobel prize it's, whiteout any doubt, this man defending his country for getting back... the peace. His name is Volodomir Zelensky.

New York City health officials said on Friday that they had identified two city-owned sites, including Harlem Hospital, as the sources of an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease that had killed seven people and sickened over 100 more in recent weeks.

🪬🧿 There is no amount of money, oil, or gold in the world that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

Which only shows how weak Mamdani’s support really is. The Cosplay Commie barely breaks 40% when his opposition is divided 4 different ways.

A major Russian air attack on Kyiv early Thursday, including a rare strike in the city center that damaged the European Union’s diplomatic offices, killed at least 17 people and wounded 48 more, authorities said. https://to.pbs.org/4oRG5CZ

The Houthis care so much about Palestinians that they just sent a drone to Gaza. The truth is, they’d gladly sacrifice Palestinian lives if it meant killing Jews.

If you honestly believe the Russians hit the EU delegation in Kyiv by accident, I don't think you should be allowed to operate heavy machinery and I frankly question if letting you dress and bathe yourself is a violation of our collective duty of care.

Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

Years of neglect and war damage have left Russian-occupied areas of Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts with barely functioning infrastructure… in more recently occupied areas of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, the destruction of the Kahovka Dam by Russian forces in 2023 has left reservoirs nearly empty.

“Welcome to D.C.,” said one Guard member, smiling as people walked past. He was met with a range of responses. “Welcome, gentlemen, welcome.” “Appreciate you guys.” “Go home, no one wants you here!”

Okay man, so don’t say them then. I’m just not sure what the ask is here and to who. Besides being a ridiculous attempt at coercing others speech, it also won’t work! They’ll come up with new “bad” words, they stole “woke” from the left. This isn’t a battle you cant win on rhetorical terrain

The latest eruption of Kilauea is underway, and she's shootin' sideways this time around! USGS live stream: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqmp...

At last! Something AI is good for.

I was asked "what would be different if this really were an intentional genocide against the Palestinians," and no one wants to hear the reality that it would be over by now. Genocide is not "a brutal and indiscriminate war that goes on for a long time." War crimes are not genocide.

Zelenskyy: In Mukachevo, Russians practically burned down American company producing electronics—home appliances, nothing military. Russians knew exactly where they lobbed the missiles. We believe this was a deliberate attack against American property and investments in Ukraine. US company ⬇️

More than 20 people were killed on Wednesday in a torrential spell of monsoon rain in Pakistan, where downpours have swept away entire villages over the last week, leaving more than 400 dead. u.afp.com/SQL7

I’m glad the AAP is looking out for children even though our government is not. But will covid vaccines be made for this age group? Will insurances cover it? And what about those of us who not >65 or high risk but take care of kids? Will it be available to me? What a shit show this is going to be
