How Coronado, California ended homelessness

The city of Coronado has done what most people would think impossible, considering it’s located in California, it has ended homelessness, Fox News reports. The city, which is located in San Diego County and across the bay from San Diego, has the lowest homeless population in the state. This is because the city has taken a unique approach to the problem. Instead of feeding the homeless crisis by providing free drugs and paraphernalia, pandering to their criminal behavior and allowing them to live wherever they want, the city took a hard line. In an interview with Fox and Friends, Mayor Richard Bailey (R) stated that city policies can actually have an impact. He said there are basically two types of homeless, those who want help and those who don’t. The city, along with the police and its homeless services, has implemented policies leaving the homeless with only one option, which is getting the help they need. Along with providing services to help people ‘get back on their feet,’ the mayor said: “We also make it …

NYC mayor: ‘When we took prayers out of schools, guns came into schools’

During a recent interfaith breakfast, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said he rejected the notion of the separation of church and state and believes that the removal of faith and prayer from schools has contributed to many of the problems we are now seeing in our education system, The Blaze. The Blaze provided a few comments that the Democrat Mayor made during his presentation at the annual breakfast held at the New York Public library. “Don’t tell me about no separation of church and state. State is the body. Church is the heart. You take the heart out of the body, the body dies.” “I can’t separate my belief because I’m an elected official,” Adams continued. “When I walk, I walk with God. When I talk, I talk with God. When I put policies in place, I put them in with a God-like approach to them. That’s who I am.” “When we took prayers out of schools, guns came into schools.” Mayor Adams suggested that the declining faith in society may also be behind …

Arizona school board member says board should reject hiring teachers with Christian beliefs

A member of an Arizona School Board has stated that the board should reject hiring any teachers who hold sincere Christian beliefs, Fox News reports. These views were allegedly made during a Feb 23, 2023 meeting of the Washington Elementary School District, when the board decided to end a contract with Arizona Christian University allowing it to place teaching students at the school to gain field experience. According to Fox News, the anti-Christian sentiments were expressed by school board member, Tamillia Valenzuela, who at the same time claimed she supported religious freedom. Fox News writes: During the meeting, school board member Tamillia Valenzuela blasted the university over its Christian beliefs and said she was “disheartened” to learn about the contract that had been ongoing for five years.   Valenzuela describes herself as “a bilingual, disabled, neurodivergent Queer Black Latina… who loves a good hot wing (but only with the right ranch) and things that sparkle.” “While I full-heartedly believe in the religious freedom and people being able to practice whatever faith that they have, I …

Did Kelsey Grammer receive a sign from God about his role in ‘Jesus Revolution’?

American actor, Kelsey Grammer, who plays Chuck Smith in the Jesus Revolution, a movie about the Jesus People’s movement that swept America in the late 60s and early 70s may have received a sign from God leading him to accept the role, the Western Journal reports. Kelsey Grammer is best known for playing psychiatrist Frasier Crane in two hit TV series, Cheers and Frasier. Grammer shared the unusual story that led him to accept the role in an interview with Jimmy Fallon on NBC’s Tonight Show. “The truth is I was having sort of a meditative evening one night in my home, and I was up pretty late. It was about 3, 4 in the morning,” Grammer told Fallon. “And I started to think, ‘I want to do something worthwhile, something that has a bigger purpose than just me.’ And I was kind of saying a prayer, I guess. And the next morning the script lands on my door. And I read it and I said, ‘OK, that’s it. I’m doing this Jesus story.’” When …

Canada: Chinese donors to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s foundation wanted a statue of Mao set up in Montreal

In 2002, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau set up a foundation to honor his father, former Canadian Prime Minister Elliot Trudeau, with $125 million in taxpayer funding. It is said to be a nonpartisan charitable organization. But the foundation has also received donations from several wealthy Communist China businessmen, who according to The Globe and Mail asked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to set up a statue in Montreal honoring Chinese dictator Mao Zedong. Mao is the founder of the Chinese Communist Party and arguably one of the world’s greatest mass murderers. According to a spokesperson for the University of Montreal, the group even suggested that this memorial could include Prime Minister Elliot Trudeau standing beside Mao.

Climate hypocrisy: ‘Gas for me, but not for thee’

During the last election, Oregon’s left-wing Democrat governor, Tina Kotek, campaigned against the use of natural gas to heat her state. According to PJ Media, her election website still talks about these lofty goals: “Transition away from the use of fossil fuels like methane gas in homes and commercial buildings. … Tina put Oregon on a path to 100% clean electricity by 2040.” Of course, we need to understand that these environmental extremists want to impose rules upon the serfs, but certainly we shouldn’t expect them to live by the same ideals. According to the Post Millennial (PM), Kotek has apparently applied for permits to install a $300k natural gas/propane heating system in her mansion. PM writes: Democrat Governor Tina Kotek, who previously promised to cut the state’s use of natural gas, is having a dual natural gas and propane backup generator installed at Mahonia Hall, the official residence of the Oregon governor. According to the official bid, “The project includes updating the utility service with backup emergency dual natural gas and propane. Adds a …

2,500-year-old inscription of Persia’s King Darius found in Israel

Eylon Levy serves as an advisor to Isaac Herzog, the president of the state of Israel. In December, he and a friend were walking among the paths at Tel Lachish National Park, when he saw a piece of pottery. Picking it up he realized immediately that it had writing etched on it, Israel365 News reports. When he saw this rare find, Levy immediately thought it had been planted, and he expected cameras to show up as part of an elaborate joke. However, they didn’t appear and Levy knew there was more to this discovery and turned it over to Israel Antiquities Authority. In a few weeks, he would find out how significant it was. Written on the shard, were the words “Year 24 of Darius”, a reference to one of the Persia’s greatest kings, Darius the Great, who ruled about 2,500 years ago. It was the first reference to this Persian king found in Israel. This is not the Darius mentioned in the book of Daniel, but rather the Darius found in the book of …

Did the CCP intentionally release the COVID virus?

The release of a classified intelligence report by the US Energy Department concluded that COVID most likely leaked out of a high-security virus lab in Wuhan. Most people, other than the political, media, and academic elite, have suspected this for months. Anyone who dared question the Biden government’s official narrative of an accidental transfer from bats was quickly labelled as a conspiracy theorist or racist. However, an even bigger question is now emerging: Did the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) purposefully leak the virus? In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Dr. Li Meng Yan, a preeminent epidemiologist originally based out of Hong Kong, alleges that the CCP not only manufactured the virus but intentionally released it as well, Fox News reports. Yan, who fled Hong Kong in 2020 after she raised these initial concerns about COVID and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, stated that a source allegedly told her the virus was intentionally released into the community. In the interview with Carson, Yan added that CCP and the Chinese military were expecting the virus to eventually …
