  Communist North Korean dictator Kim Jung-Un reportedly replaced Christmas this year with an observance celebrating his late grandmother. According to a story from the New York Post published on Christmas Day, Kim declared that Christmas would be about his grandmother, Kim Jong-suk. "Jong-suk — who was born on Christmas Eve in 1919 — was an anti-Japanese guerrilla and Communist activist, wife of North Korea's first dictator, Kim Il Sung, and former leader Kim Jong Il's mother," reported the NY Post. "Many pay homage to the 'Sacred Mother of the Revolution,' who died under mysterious circumstances in 1949, by visiting her tomb." The NY Post article went on to note that this is not the first time that Kim has reacted with overt hostility to Christmas celebrations. "The daffy dictator is so obsessed with banning Christmas that he even flipped out in 2014 when he found out that South Korea planned to erect a huge Christmas tree a...

Christians continue to be the most persecuted believers in the world with over 90,000 followers of Christ being killed in the last year, according to prominent Italian sociologist and author Massimo Introvigne. In an interview with Vatican Radio, Introvigne, the founder of the independent Center for Studies on New Religions based in Turin, Italy, cited statistics compiled by the Center for Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary for a annual report that is expected to be released next month. Introvigne said that there are between 500 to 600 Christians throughout the world that can't profess their faith in Christ freely without fear of persecution. Meanwhile, over 90,000 Christians have been killed in the past year, which equates to one death every 6 minutes on average, Introvigne added. The total number of Christians killed in 2016 has actually decreased from last year's findings of about 105,000, Introvigne relayed, adding that 70 pe...

According to eyewitnesses who spoke with the Kurdish news siteARA News, IS (also known as ISIS or ISIL) executed four men in the group's Syrian stronghold of Deir Ezzor after the men were accused of aiding Kurdish forces in their fight against the twisted Islamic death cult. The witnesses explained that the men were arrested by the IS police force, Diwan al-Hisba, over three months ago. The men were not only accused of supporting the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) but also charged by the militant group with having leaked information about IS' movements in Deir Ezzor to the YPG, acts that IS considers to be treason and even apostasy. As YPG forces are a key component of the U.S.-backed Syrian Democ...

  A study of the most "sinful" cities in America ranked by the seven deadly sins has found where the most "potential cheaters" live and where the most violent crimes per capita are committed. Analyst Jill Gonzalez of WalletHub, the personal finance company that conducted the study, told The  Post that the company included metrics and sins that relate to personal finance, like debt-to-income ratio, identity theft and fraud. "With 2017 right around the corner, we're hoping residents of these cities incorporate the findings into their New Year's resolutions," Gonzalez said. As the study's methodology explains, WalletHub's number crunchers analyzed the 150 most populated cities in the U.S. based on seven key dimensions: 1) anger and hatred, 2) jealousy, 3) excesses and vices, 4) avarice, 5) lust, 6) vanity and 7) laziness.

Pope Frances recently declared that now there is more persecution against Christians than there was in the days of the early Church. Take into account the persecutions being done by ISIS and other Islamic fundamentalists, North Korea and other communist regimes, and the number is in the hundreds of thousands, perhaps even more. Here is the report: Pope Francis paid tribute on Monday to Middle East Christians who have clung to their faith during persecution by Islamist militants, saying there are more Christians martyrs now than in the Church’s early days. The pope spoke to thousands of people in St. Peter’s Square for his holiday blessing on the feast of St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr. He mentioned the persecution of Christians in Iraq, many of whom where able to spend their first Christmas since 2013 in churches after towns and cities were retaken from Islamic State. “This was an example of fidelity to the Gospel,” he said. “Despite trials and dangers, they courag...

Republican President-elect Donald Trump has announced the Mormon Tabernacle Choir will perform at the inauguration on Jan. 20, and a petition is already gaining steam to stop the group from performing. The petition started Friday with 6,500 signatures, and the motion currently has 9,135 signatures from voters who don’t want the choir affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints to perform at the event — a move that some see as a tacit endorsement of the president-elect. “We, as signers of this petition, believe that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints decision to allow the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to perform at the upcoming presidential inauguration of Donald Trump DOES NOT reflect the values of Mormonism and does not represent its diverse 15+ million members worldwide,” the petition asserts. “We also believe that an official LDS organization performing at a presidential inauguration gives the perception that the LDS Church and its diverse 15+ milli...

Pui was rummaging through some garbage, and he came across something a little out of the ordinary. The dog picked this strange plastic bag, and brought it to his owner.

One male writer with a local daily came up with signs his fellow men should look out for to determine if the girl they are sniffing around is not interested in a serious relationship. Here are his points, and I - a lady of course- tweaked the reason he gave for his points. Call it my contribution to society in helping men avoid rejection. 1. Keeps you a secret    Women are programmed to settle in. To get comfortable in situations. So, it should be a cause of wonder if she does not jump at any opportunity to brag you to her friends or siblings, you are not in the line up for her potential mate. Temporary or permanent. 2. Not into your future plan. If you have been hanging out for a while and then you begin telling her about future plans you might want to involve her in, ever noticed how her eyes just glaze over? Her expression ends up communication the “I’d rather be elsewhere” look or she starts fidgeting with things such as her phone, h...

We always knew there was some sleazy stuff going on in the music industry and now that big time singer, Yemi Alade confirms it, it’s still quite appalling. Record label owners and show promoters are all guilty of this. Sexual harassment comes in different levels; some are intense, some are subtle, and some even come through third parties. However, I’ve never found myself in a situation that felt very uncomfortable. Once I see the signs, I run and the person would not even have the opportunity to go through with his evil plans. There are some people who I looked up to in the industry but surprisingly, they also wanted sex” On the purported between herself and her female singers, she added: I don’t know why the media takes pleasure in pitting great women against one another. Have you ever seen any text message from any of us lambasting another person? There’s no proof of these things; it’s just in the imagination of people. I’ve never stopped working and I was already working ...

''I found out I was pregnant at the happiest place on earth. It was Mother’s Day and I was on vacation at Disney World. Go figure. I noticed my normally regular period hadn’t come which is usually no biggie. I would chalk it up to stress. Except now, thanks to acupuncture, I was used to it coming like clockwork. It’s only day one I told myself. It’ll come tomorrow. And it did, but only stopped by for a brief visit before disappearing into the abyss. I waited for her to come back. She never did.  Pastor Desiree Allen was shocked to discover she was pregnant An unmarried American preacher identified as Desiree Allen, decided to share her experiences about how she found out she was pregnant, and how she eventually revealed the news to her congregation after fears of being judged for committing 'sin'.
