People questioned how the Black Hawk could have missed the bright landing lights of the CRJ700. However, the viral video…

This legislative move aligns with the administration of President Donald Trump, who recently reaffirmed that the official policy of the U.S. government recognizes only two sexes: male and female. *”The…

Former President Joe Biden, who identifies as Catholic, took a significant step just before his presidency ended. On January 19, he was granted “Master Mason membership” along with “full honors” at the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons in South Carolina. This move has sparked a buzz, as it goes against the Catholic Church’s canon law, which traditionally forbids Catholics from joining Freemason organizations. Involvement with the Freemasons can potentially lead to excommunication, making this decision particularly noteworthy for Biden. The ceremony’s announcement was made by the Conference of Grand Masters, with the 27th Most…
