Conservatives in Warren County, Virginia, are celebrating after the fraudulent election that allowed RINOs to take charge of the Republican Party in the deep-red area outside of Washington, DC, was overturned when people who had been kicked out of the committee banded together to fight it. About two dozen members of Virginia’s Sixth District Republican Committee gathered in Fisherville, Virginia, on Tuesday night to hear an appeal filed by Scott Lloyd, a former Trump administration official who ran for chairman of the Warren County Republican Committee (WCRC). The other candidate was David Silek, a local attorney who has slandered Christian…

Today, April 3, is Good Friday, the solemn day when Christians everywhere remember the suffering, crucifixion, and death of Jesus Christ. Now, roughly 2,000 years since Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice, humanity seems determined to avoid even mildly suffering, prioritizing comfort and convenience above all else – but at what cost? Socrates is often credited with observing that “life without experience and sufferings is not life.” His point is as relevant today as it was in ancient Greece. The uncomfortable truth is that suffering willingly embraced for a greater purpose is critical to a meaningful life. Suffering Is Inevitable Let’s…

The U.S. economy may need fewer than 10,000 new jobs per month to maintain a stable unemployment rate this year, Federal Reserve researchers said in a paper published Wednesday—a threshold so low it would force a fundamental rethinking of how Wall Street, the press, and policymakers evaluate the monthly employment report. The analysis, by Fed economists Seth Murray and Ivan Vidangos, finds that the “breakeven pace” of job creation—the number of positions the economy must add each month to hold the unemployment rate steady—has plunged to nearly zero, reflecting a sharp pullback in net immigration and the continued retirement of…

While Christians around the world prepare to celebrate Easter, the Middle East — the very place Jesus once walked — is again consumed by war.
