By John Knox One of the core arguments against the historicity of the Bible and the flood account in Genesis by scientists has been that a global flood is impossible because there simply is not enough water on earth to flood the entire thing. This despite the fact that there is evidence accepted from secular scientists that there was clearly a global cataclysm at some point in earth's recent history. But where did the water come from? In  Genesis chapter 7 , this is what the Bible says: In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened. All the fountains of the great deep burst forth. What could that be referring to? Well, here's a story for ya: Scientists discover massive 'ocean' beneath Earth's surface bigger than all the seas above land Scientists have discovered a huge ocean un

The world’s most formidable naval force won’t stay that way with misplaced priorities.   By Brina Mark Weber The United States Navy has long ruled the seas. That reputation was earned over many years, and while the Navy remains a formidable force on the world’s oceans, that strength may be waning more quickly than any of us realize. China’s military has been on the rise in recent years, but instead of keeping pace with China’s emergence as a global sea power and making sure America stays on the cutting edge of technology, our Navy has another priority: climate change. “The Department of the Navy is stepping forward with  Climate Action 2030 , a broad, multi-pronged approach,”  explains  the U.S. Department of Defense website. “The Navy is working to improve efficiency of ships, electrifying vehicles and greatly reducing emissions.” Furthermore, “The Navy is also funding efforts to help restore coral reefs and is eager to pursue further efforts on coral reef research, regrowth and even

By Tom Knighton David Hogg is set to graduate from Harvard soon. Now, I’ve found the fact that a state college rejects got into Harvard rather hilarious from the get-go. After all, it just goes to show you that the Ivy League ain’t what it used to be. But how do I know he’s going to graduate soon? Well, it starts on Twitter with a brag and, in time, a hilarious self-own. The first tweet: Thank god I graduate in a few months so I can get to kicking the NRAs ass full time. — David Hogg ☮️ (@davidhogg111) March 29, 2023 OK, so far, nothing much to see. Of course, I’m sure the NRA is just a-quaking in their boots. Former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake fired back with this one: pic.twitter.com/k1aU6e0mkP — Kari Lake (@KariLake) March 29, 2023 And here was David’s response.

By Bonchie The  indictment  of former President Donald Trump burst onto the scene Thursday like a naked man streaking through an NFL game. There was no warning, with even those supposedly in the know (including Trump’s own lawyers who recently told him the prosecution had collapsed) that the grand jury was getting ready to vote. On the contrary,  recent reports  made it seem as if Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s pursuit had faltered at best. That was not to be, though, and Trump is now awaiting processing on a timed-out misdemeanor elevated to a felony based on a never-before-tested legal theory. Yet, despite the obvious issues with the case, Democrats rushed to spike the football. Nancy Pelosi was one of those people.

By Kevin Downey Jr. Chaya Raichik, the creator of Libs of TikTok — who is hated by the trans-pansexual grooming gang — met Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in the Capitol, and it didn’t go well for the supposedly tough Bronx denizen. FACT-O-RAMA!  Libs of TikTok is dedicated to sharing videos of libs  admitting  to  grooming kids , and drag queens “performing” for children, like  this grown man in a dress  straddling a teen. Raichik — with the help of the Heritage Foundation — filed an ethics complaint against AOC for lying about her in a committee hearing, which allegedly violates Rule #1 of Congress’  Code of Conduct . 1. A Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House shall behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House. According to Mike Howell from the Heritage Foundation — who appears in the video below — that’s a bad look for a member of Congress. Raichik apparently tried to meet up with AOC at an earlier time bu

Who is under threat?   By Steve Watson A trans rights group that had organised a ‘day of vengeance’ protest has canceled the event citing a “threat to life and safety” of trans people following the killing of three children and three Christian teachers in Nashville by a trans identifying individual. Our Rights DC issued a statement asserting that “we lack the resources to ensure the safety of the protest and cannot in good conscience move forward with it.” “The safety of our trans community is first priority,” the group added, claiming that trans people have been threatened since the shooting. The group describes the alleged threats to the trans community as “the direct result of the flood of raw hatred directed toward the trans community,” claiming that it is “one of the steps in genocide.” Full statement in thread: pic.twitter.com/Y4xPOzl4tb — Our Rights DC (@OurRightsDC) March 30, 2023 2/x: Individuals who had nothing to with that heinous act have been subje
