A church in suburban Chicago said it is “fasting from whiteness” during Lent, the 40-day period preceding Easter—by abstaining from performing hymns composed or written by white musicians. First United Church of Oak Park announced on its website that it “is doing a mix of ‘giving something up’ and ‘taking something on.’ “In our worship services throughout Lent, we will not be using any music or liturgy written or composed by white people. Our music will be drawn from the African American spirituals tradition, from South African freedom songs, from Native American traditions, and many, many more,” it said.(Snip)The house of worship also erected a “Fasting from

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Thursday that he was open to allowing people who identify as “non-binary” to serve in the U.S. military. He gave his stamp of approval to non-binary troops during questioning by Sen. Marsha Blackburn at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing. The Tennesse Republican asked Mr. Austin about recent reports that the Pentagon was quietly studying how non-binary troops could join the ranks.(Snip)The defense secretary refused to speculate whether the inclusion of non-binary or “gender fluid” individuals in the armed forces would force the Pentagon to build gender-neutral housing. Non-binary is a term used to define people
Montgomery, Ala.—Alabama lawmakers on Thursday approved sweeping legislation to outlaw gender-affirming medications for trans kids and advanced separate legislation to prohibit classroom instruction on sexual and gender identity in early grades—a measure that critics have dubbed “Don’t Say Gay.” The Alabama House of Representatives voted 66-28 for legislation to make it a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, for a doctor to prescribe puberty blockers or hormones or perform surgery to aid in the gender transition of people under age 19. The bill now goes to Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey for her signature as Alabama becomes the latest red state to debate legislation
The two men arrested in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday who attempted to cozy up to Secret Service agents spent their year-and-a-half living in a luxury apartment building allegedly posing as federal agents with the Department of Homeland Security. Just a mile from the Capitol and three miles from the White House, Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and Haider Sher-Ali, 36, were conducting an operation where they posed as federal agents–tricking a luxury DC apartment building and its high profile residents as well as appearing to convince Metro Police Department that they were working for the government.(Snip)During their time living at the building in the Navy Yard
A brazen Manhattan shoplifter has claimed a security guard at a Duane Reade assaulted her when he stopped her from walking out of the store with fabric softener—as she details her stealing exploits across the city. The shoplifter, identifying herself as 'Jackie', gave an interview outside the store on 14th Street in Union Square on Wednesday after her clash with security in the store, claiming they dragged her into a back room and issued her with a notice banning her from all the chain's stores across the state. Jackie spoke openly about her attempts to steal the fabric softener to do her laundry and claims when the security guard
Sen. Ron Johnson complained Wednesday that special counsel John Durham has kept information from the public and lawmakers during his nearly three-year probe. In a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity, the Wisconsin Republican cited the length and murkiness of the Durham investigation as one of the reasons he’s skeptical of appointing a special counsel to probe the business dealings of President Biden’s son Hunter. Mr. Johnson emphasized that Mr. Durham has “high integrity” but said U.S. senators have been denied access to information about what Mr. Durham is investigating.(Snip)Mr. Johnson said those issues underscore concerns about having a special counsel look into Hunter Biden’s business affairs.
A member of Jill Biden's Secret Service detail was compromised by two fake agents who showered members of the security services with lavish gifts, it is claimed. Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and Haider Ali, 36, were taken into custody as more than a dozen FBI agents charged into a luxury apartment building in Southeast Washington on Wednesday evening.(Snip)Taherzadeh and Ali are accused of posing as members of a fake Department of Homeland Security taskforce investigating gang violence and the January 6 Capitol riots. The pair, whose nationalities have not been revealed, are said to have driven around in an official-looking SUV equipped with flashing lights.
Crime is running rampant throughout Manhattan’s key commercial neighborhoods—and local business leaders are banding together to demand help from Gov. Kathy Hochul. Crime across Manhattan’s Midtown South district has spiked by more than 50% year to date—wreaking havoc across a crucial corridor for commuters and shoppers alike that includes Penn Station, Grand Central Terminal and the Port Authority Bus Terminal, police data show. Meanwhile, grand larceny is up 45% on the Upper East Side, which encompasses prime shopping strips on Madison, Lexington and Third avenues between East 57th and East 86th streets. Organized rings of shoplifters who are targeting high-end boutiques are a key driver of the spike
It was a minor boost. A fourth shot of the Pfizer COVID vaccine increased protection against viral infection for only four to seven weeks, according to a massive study published Tuesday. The study included 1.25 million people age 60 and over in Israel who received their fourth dose between January and March. Israel only uses the Pfizer vaccine. People who got the fourth dose were half as likely to test positive for COVID four weeks later when compared to people who only had three doses, according to the study. But by the eighth week, the groups were almost equally likely to catch COVID, researchers found.
The $6 million Los Angeles mansion purchased by the country’s top Black Lives Matter group sold for 250 percent more than the price of similar properties in its Studio City neighborhood, and went for $2.7 million more than property records show. Records state that the property initially sold for $3.1 million in October 2020, but by the time it was transferred to a shell company controlled by Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation days later, the price had increased to $5.8 million. It’s unclear what caused the discrepancy. A spokesman for BLMGNF could not be reached for comment Wednesday.(Snip)BLMGNF paid in cash for the mansion,
The worse the border surge, the more it will hurt other immigrants trying to come to the country legally by delaying their applications, a top Homeland Security official told Congress on Wednesday. Ur Jaddou, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said their goal is to keep the hiccups as small as possible, but said deploying her personnel to the border to handle people claiming asylum will “take a toll” on the ability to handle other applications. “Will they have to put aside some other work? Yes, potentially, depending on how large or how small,” she said.(Snip)Homeland Security is bracing for a massive surge of illegal immigrants next month
The Walt Disney Co. has named Kristina Schake as its new lead spokesperson. The political operative who worked as an aide in the Obama White House and again as deputy communications director for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign will start immediately. The appointment comes after President Joe Biden tapped Schake last year to lead the coronavirus vaccination campaign at the Department of Health and Human Services, where she was counselor to secretary for strategic communications.(Snip)Schake also co-founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights, which challenged the state’s ban on same sex marriage and was ultimately overturned with a Supreme Court decision in 2013.
Roy P. Disney, the grand-nephew of Disneyland founder Walt Disney, jumped Tuesday into the feud between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Disney empire with a fundraising plea in which he disclosed that he has a transgender child. Mr. Disney, whose grandfather Roy O. Disney founded the company with his brother Walt, said in a fundraising pitch for the Human Rights Campaign that he was “heartbroken” over the Florida bill barring schools from discussing gender identity and sexual orientation with students in grades K-3.
“My wife, Sheri, and I have been members of HRC for over 20 years,” said Mr. Disney in the email. “Equality matters deeply to us,

Barack Obama was at the White House yesterday, making it clear, as did others at the reception held in Obama’s honor, that Biden’s presidency is over. Watching Obama suck the oxygen out of the room made me wonder if Obama is planning a comeback, something he can easily do. (snip) The reception in Obama’s honor, though, hinted that the event’s real purpose was to signal to Democrat apparatchiks that Biden is now shark chum.
The chumming process began when Obama referred to Biden as the “Vice President,” adding, after a long pause, “that was a joke.”

Texas Governor Greg Abbott will begin to use charter buses to ship illegal immigrants to Washington, D.C., as part of his strategy for the overwhelming influx of illegal immigrants.
Governor Abbott held a press conference today concerning Texas’ border security efforts in response to the Biden admin’s decision to drop Title 42 at the border on May 23.

Democratic Rep. Ami Bera of California said on Tuesday that he was the victim of an "unprovoked" attack by a fox outside of the US Capitol on Monday evening. Bera said the attack occurred in the park area just north of the Capitol by Russell Senate Office Building, "I was just walking, as I often would, over by that park," the congressman explained to Insider and a group of other reporters. "I felt something lunge — totally unprovoked — at the back of my leg." Bera added that it "felt like a small dog" had attacked. "I don't know if it actually
Government regulation and control over the internet can defeat a “demand for crazy” through the spread of incorrect messages, former President Barack Obama said Wednesday.Obama, 60, spoke with Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg at an event hosted by the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics and the magazine.“I do think that there is a demand for crazy on the internet that we have to grapple with,” Obama said, before adding a mix of regulation and industry standards are needed to address the issue.Obama lamented how misinformation plays out across the U.S.,
A referee needed 30 stitches after being brutally attacked by a bunch of eighth-graders at a youth basketball game in Georgia, according to TMZ. The mayhem was captured on video Sunday at the “Love Of The Game” event at the Stronghold Christian Church. TMZ reported that multiple players from one team and spectators at the game appeared to chase the referee before pinning him to the floor, punching and kicking him. Kenneth Tarver, the founder of KB Sports, which helped host the youth tournament in Lithonia (about 30 minutes from Atlanta), said he doesn’t know what caused the incident.(Snip)“The referee appears outnumbered from the very start,
Pope Francis, a leading advocate of Doormat Christianity, is at it again, trying to reverse nearly two millennia of Christian doctrine, by preaching total passivity—even against violent aggression.
On March 18, 2022, Francis declared before an audience that “A war is always—always!—the defeat of humanity, always. We, the educated, who work in education, are defeated by this war, because on another side we are responsible.”
So far, all well and good, if only because such lofty but impotent words are expected.
But then Francis went so far as to say, “There is no such thing as a just war: they do not exist!”
That is a remarkably dangerous claim, of similar naïve thinkers—

Isn’t the Democrat Party the party of empathy, love and inclusion? Oh wait, that’s what they say, not exactly what they do.
No putsch here. Oh no, this Svengali is way too cool to actually show his fangs as he destroys his former vice-president, Joe Biden. Forgetting also that Joe Biden was the man who made him. (snip) But, have you ever watched any politician, or ex-president no less, more narcissist than Obama’s televised bloodless coup at the White House? Clearly the overthrow was devised, written, directed, and implemented by the former president.
