Alabama white supremacists charged with trespass, burglary at nuclear power plant

On the night of Jan. 4, four avowed white supremacists entered a secure multi-industry property just across the Tennessee River that includes a nuclear power plant.

Two of those men, Aiden Daniel Cuevas, 19, and Aidan Christian Stamper, 19, hail from Madison, Alabama. The other two men are identified as Brandon Dean Crews, 24, of Iuka, Mississippi, and Logan Gulbranson, 18, of Cole Harber, North Dakota.

[County sheriff] Stuart also obtained footage according to the report that shows some of the individuals entering a “turbine building” on the site and “moving around with flashlights” before leaving the building.

The Tishomingo County Sheriff’s Office has charged all four men with felony trespassing and burglary in connection to the incident.

Jeff Tischauser, a research analyst for the Southern Poverty Law Center‘s Intelligence Project, has monitored the online activity of all four men arrested in the incident.

He says they make up the core of a group calling themselves the “North Bama Brigade” in online white supremacist and neo-Nazi circles.

Tischauser said all four men could be connected back to Tennessee Active Club leader Sean Kauffmann, who posted online that he sees himself as a “Shredder” figure from the series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, building a “literal underground army” of rebellious youth.

“Accelerationist neo-Nazis see attacks against electrical grids and infrastructure as helping to accelerate the collapse of our social system,” Tischauser said. “They think that the race war is right around the corner.”

An Asian male who goes by the name “Alyssa” is facing multiple felony charges following a violent altercation involving members of a Turning Point USA chapter at the University of Texas at Dallas.

The suspect, identified as Liam Thanh Tam Nguyen, allegedly used a bike lock to assault students, resulting in four felony charges and three misdemeanors.

Video shared by Charlie Kirk, founder of the prominent conservative organization with chapters at college campuses across the U.S., showed the incident unfolded outside the UTD student union, where the TPUSA chapter was setting up a tent and table to engage with students and distribute materials.

Info from Geological Society of America regarding Myanmar earthquake

"An M7.7 earthquake struck overnight near Mandalay, Myanmar, as the result of strike slip faulting between the India and Eurasia plates. Focal mechanism solutions indicate that slip occurred on either a north-striking, steeply-dipping, right-lateral fault, or a west striking, steeply-dipping, left-lateral fault. The finite fault solution indicates a north striking right-lateral fault. This focal mechanism and finite fault solution are consistent with the earthquake potentially occurring on the right-lateral Sagaing Fault that lies in the fault zone that defines the plate boundary between the Indian and Sunda plates.

While commonly plotted as points on maps, earthquakes of this size are more appropriately described as slip over a larger fault area. The finite fault solution indicates the size of this event is about 200 km by 20 km (length x width).

This region has experienced similar large strike slip earthquakes, with six other magnitude 7 and larger earthquakes occurring within about 150 miles (250 km) of this earthquake since 1900. The most recent of these was a magnitude 7.0 earthquake in January 1990, which caused 32 buildings to fall. A magnitude 7.9 earthquake occurred south of today’s earthquake in February 1912. Within this broad zone of tectonic deformation, other large earthquakes include a magnitude 7.7 earthquake in 1988."

Trump Warned U.S. Automakers Not to Raise Prices in Response to Tariffs

Threat came in a call earlier this month, in which carmakers feared punishment if prices go up
When President Trump convened CEOs of some of the country’s top automakers for a call earlier this month, he issued a warning: They better not raise car prices because of tariffs.

Trump told the executives that the White House would look unfavorably on such a move, leaving some of them rattled and worried they would face punishment if they increased prices, people with knowledge of the call said.

Trump holds 'extremely productive call' with Canadian prime minister: 'We agree on many things'

President Donald Trump said he held an "extremely productive call" with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday.

"I just finished speaking with Prime Minister Mark Carney, of Canada. It was an extremely productive call, we agree on many things, and will be meeting immediately after Canada’s upcoming Election to work on elements of Politics, Business, and all other factors, that will end up being great for both the United States of America and Canada," Trump wrote on this Truth Social account.

It was the first time the two leaders have spoken. On Thursday, Carney said the "old relationship" with the United States "is over" while vowing to engage in a renegotiation over a trade agreement.

Carney, 60, who won the Liberal leadership this month with 86% of the vote after former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stood down, was speaking in Ottawa after meeting the nation’s provincial premiers.

I have blasphemous thoughts and I need help

I have blasphemous thoughts and I really need help​



My blasphemous thoughts are getting out of hand. Some of them are so perverted and blasphemous and hateful, and it scares me because I fear I would go to hell. I go to confession every week and Mass every day, plus I also pray the rosary every day. I am pretty sure I had demonic obsession last year, and I had blasphemous thoughts about spitting on the face of God and holy people. Yet this wound of the heart and soul has only continued to grow, and now I have "blasphemous OCD". The worst part is I didn't understand what was happening at the time, so I didn't guard my heart as zealously as I should have, and thus the evil of the demons ended up becoming a part of me, that is, my memory and imagination have been wounded. I seriously don't know what I should with this, because my soul has become very wounded and I seriously struggle with hateful and blasphemous thoughts. I want to be healed, but I feel like I am making minimal effort. I also had visions that were supernatural in nature but I feel like I messed it all up.
I spoke with a priest as of last year. He gave me sound advice, such as daily Mass and daily Rosary and I have followed his advice zealously. He told me that this is a spiritual battle and that I have to win it, as in demonic oppression, at least that's what I gathered from our meeting. Right now I am feeling discouraged because while I feel like I am sometimes making progress and then faltering. I often have a vision of the Lord Jesus armwrestling with the devil, and when I do something virtuous, I see the Lord overpowering the devil, and when I am thinking something bad, I see the evil one gaining some power. I secretely dream of becoming a hero, but I feel so "not-hero-like" right now... I also believed I was targeted by people who hate me in a spiritual attack, but I don't have any evidence. This came to me in visions from the Lord.
I would need some encouragement, because right now I feel like I am not making any progress. I would appreciate the words of those who have overcome evil thoughts. I sometimes feel like the worst person in the world because of my hateful thoughts. Has anyone gone through this exact thing and emerged victorious? I would love to hear your thoughts.
Please, if you can, pray for me.

Dem candidate caught on camera applauding notorious antisemite's violent rhetoric: 'You break his neck'

Progressive Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, one of the top Democratic candidates for New Jersey governor, was caught on video applauding and embracing radical Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan as he calls White people "demons" and calls for violence as retribution.

Farrakhan, 91, is a longtime radical antisemite preacher known for making inflammatory statements against Jews, White people and LGBTQ individuals. He has also praised Adolf Hitler as a "great man" and has become one of the most controversial religious figures in the United States due to his derogatory comments about Israel.

The video – taken in 2004 at a Newark church – shows Baraka introducing Farrakhan to the congregation by calling him a major personal inspiration and "the leader of every Black person."

The full speech is viewable on the Nation of Islam website.

Trump's Culture War Targets America's Museums

The Administration is targeting the Smithsonian museums.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday directing Vice President JD Vance to eliminate "divisive race-centered ideology" from Smithsonian museums, educational and research centers, and the National Zoo.

"Once widely respected as a symbol of American excellence and a global icon of cultural achievement, the Smithsonian Institution has, in recent years, come under the influence of a divisive, race-centered ideology. This shift has promoted narratives that portray American and Western values as inherently harmful and oppressive." It goes on to say: "Museums in our Nation's capital should be places where individuals go to learn -- not to be subjected to ideological indoctrination or divisive narratives that distort our shared history."

Strange Experiance

This is going to be weird and bit long, but I figure I should ask for comments. I am a protestant, Christian from 14yrs old but quickly fell off the wagon by 16 into all sorts of occultism, sex drugs and rock and roll. I’ve been single all my life as well, no children and completely wild and off the chain until about 10 years ago when I got sober and back in line with Christ. I am now 57.

I had lived a fun and exciting off the edge double life as a Data Architect and Sr. Programmer by day and high caliber illicit drug dealer at night. Life has really been a lot of fun. Too much fun probably. Money will actually buy you happiness at least for a while.

Recently I took home a female grifter less than half my age who claimed as most do, that she was “down on her luck”. Being familiar with grifters and willing to utilize the time to witness to her, before shutting her game plan down and tossing her back to the street with a lot of good helpful information in hand and an experience from me that she wouldn’t soon forget, I fed her, shared the gospel, and even prayed with her. So, we headed to my place.

This is where the odd part of the story begins… When I suggested prayer at very early hours of the next morning, she was at first reluctant, but ultimately when I agreed to prick my finger with this dagger (a kris technically) that she had and drip blood in a vile for her to keep she agreed to pray with me. A pretty simple sacrifice if you ask me. However, knowing this meant the proverbial game was afoot.

In the background of this I had a Wi-Fi phone hacking tool working on cracking her phone. You never know who you’re dealing with right? Wrong, I usually do . Anyway, we prayed for a few minutes and she interrupted it for a minute to claim she needed to go to the bathroom. Before she went, she took something from her purse. She had at least taken her phone. Being that I had a hacking tool working on it, I went and temporarily disable it to avoid detection and began reviewing her chat text.

Turns out she had recently scored about an ounce of meth, which I quickly located in her purse. I also found a Ouija board and a planchette in her backpack, which I deliberately defiled by cracking it and put it back. When she came back, we continued praying for a few minutes and a while after she became very seductive. I played along some more until I started feeling a bit of conviction and then my phone rang.

I used this as an excuse to end our little evening together and told her my girlfriend would be coming over in a little while and that I would need to take her somewhere, anywhere or all hell would break loose. She smirked and agreed that all hell would break loose most likely, but ultimately, we left and I dropped her off at a city bus stop several miles from my house (I live in a big city)

As soon as I had left her, I called the police and told them somewhat anonymously that there was a female drug dealer at such and such bus stop. I slowly made my way around the block and sure enough the police were already there and appeared to be arresting her.


This is where the problems seem to start. Once I got home, I enter my place and I heard a loud door slam. But upon investigating it was nothing, perhaps the back door was open and air pressure caused it, who knows. I went to the bathroom and while in there I began to smell something odd as if it was a recently extinguished flame. I looked all over and when I pulled back the shower curtain, I found a small plastic tray with a tiny melted down candle a few feathers and blood drops scattered around it in the shape of a pentagram. I cleaned this up fast however the grifter chic left her lipstick under my bathroom counter which my girlfriend found. It took a while but she is a true blonde and I was eventually able to convince her it was her old one from a log time ago.

Perhaps I was too quick to assume I was in control of the night’s events. Since this time, I occasionally wake up to strange sounds and voices, door slamming etc.…, I’ve had an abnormal number of flats on my car, and in the last 3 months my girlfriend and I have had several arguments and break ups. It’s like I’ve been cursed or something.

I even looked up this grifters police record and jail log for the appropriate dates and oddly no one under that name was ever arrested. I’m not sure if I need to be concerned. Also last night my girlfriend answer her phone and said “oh Hi Deanne” and quickly excused herself. No big deal, right? Wrong the grifters first name that she gave me was Deann… Im starting to think my girlfriend may be up to something bad. This is all so weird, any comments feel free.

What does it mean for Jesus did not come to destroy the law. But rather, Jesus came to fulfil the law

Jesus did not come to destroy the law. But rather, Jesus came to fulfil the law. As written in Matthew 5:17.

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

What is the law that Jesus came to fulfil? The law that states that all sinners must die and perish. As written in Ezekiel 18:20 and Romans 6:23.

Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What does it mean to destroy the law? For the law to be destroyed, God has to cancel the law in Ezekiel 18:20 and Romans 6:23, allow sinners to go unpunished (without receiving the wages of sin) and let unjustified sinners enter Heaven.

What does it mean for Jesus to fulfil the law? Jesus has to take all our sins (the sins of the entire world for every generations so that salvation is offered to everyone who accepts Jesus as their saviouras written in 2 Corinthians 5:21 and 1 John 2:2) and die with our sins on our behalf (Full payment can only be fulfilled with death, as written in Hebrews 9:22).

2 Corinthians 5:21 For he (God the Father) hath made him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

1 John 2:2 He (Jesus) is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.


Hebrews 9:22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

How do we know that all our sins have been remove by Jesus' death?
If Jesus does not have enough capital to pay for our sins, then he still be in debt and will still be carrying our wages (The wages of sin is death). If Jesus is still carrying out wages, he will still remain dead. But Jesus DID NOT stay dead. Jesus died, was buried and resurrected on the third day. As written in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures

Not only did Jesus rose from the grave, Jesus even sat on the right hand of God. If Jesus is unable to pay for all our sins, he will not be able to even enter Heaven or be in God's presence.

Hebrews 10:12 But when this priest (Jesus) had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins (death on the cross with all our sins), he sat down at the right hand of God

Revelation 21:27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Jesus paid for our wage of sin which is death. Through death Jesus destroyed death. Having cleared of all our sins, we direct access to God in our time of need.
Ephesians 2:18 For through him (Jesus) we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Why is Mary’s perpetual virginity so controversial for non-Catholic Christians?

Q: Something that’s always been kind of interesting to me is how much Protestants object to Mary’s perpetual virginity. I get balking at her Immaculate Conception, her as mediatrix of all graces, asking for her intercession, etc. But remaining a virgin is a thing people can and have done, a totally human thing, and it being true or false has no effect on Protestant theology. Yet there’s this intense focus on it. Why don’t Protestants just let that one be and agree to disagree but not get worked up about it?

A: First of all, I think we need to make sure we’re not painting with too broad a brush. “Protestants” is a big category, and different Protestant denominations profess a wide variety of specific beliefs on different points of Christian doctrine. For example, certain traditional Anglicans or Episcopalians might retain a belief in Mary’s perpetual virginity, even to the point of giving some of their parishes names like “the Church of St. Mary the Virgin.”

But getting to the real substance of your question, one thought is that many Protestant denominations have a very heavy emphasis on “sola scriptura,” or the belief that we should look to the Bible alone for knowledge of faith and morals. This is in contrast with the Catholic belief in both the Bible and the teachings outside of Scripture, which have been handed down via sacred tradition (as described in 2 Thes 2:15).

    Yasmina left Islam to follow Christ.
    Yasmina, a former Muslim, faces pressure from her family after placing her faith in Christ. When Yasmina and her husband first became followers of Christ, they stopped praying in the Islamic manner. Their Muslim family pressured the young couple to recant, even taking legal measures to try to annul their marriage. After several days of severe pressure, Yasmina's husband yielded and reverted to Islam, but Yasmina remained firm. Read More.

    The cost of Christian burials in Indonesia have kept some interested Muslims from converting to Christianity. Muslims do not pay burial fees.
    In a Muslim-dominated area of Indonesia, several different obstacles cause Muslims to hesitate placing their faith in Christ. Prohibitions against Christian burial in common cemeteries and exorbitant fees for Christian burial in approved locations remain a stumbling block for many who have expressed genuine interest in converting to Christianity. The cost of burial in an approved Christian plot can cost up to a few months' wages, whereas Muslims can be buried for free on any private land. Read More.

Then he threatened to marry her to a Muslim man, saying her husband could then kill her. "Let your God save you from me," he taunted. Sarah prayed to God, "Where are you? You said you would be with me, but I am here. What am I supposed to do?" Read More.

Elon Musk, DOGE team offer unprecedented peek behind the curtain of Trump's cost-cutting department

Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk and seven members of the team shed light on the department's cost-cutting mission in an exclusive sit-down interview with "Special Report" Thursday.

“We want to reduce spending by eliminating waste and fraud and reduce the spending by 15%, which seems really quite achievable," Musk told "Special Report" executive editor Bret Baier.

"The government is not efficient, and there's a lot of waste and fraud. So we feel confident that a 15% reduction can be done without affecting any of the critical government services."

How SNOW WHITE Star Hopes Movie Will Change Viewers: ‘A New Dawn Of Kindness’

Rachel Zegler is sharing her hopes for what audiences take away from SNOW WHITE, from kindness and positivity to the true meaning of being “fair.”

“So much of my life has been dedicated to playing Snow White,” Zegler said in a recent interview. “I’ve been attached to this movie and this girl for five years now, and it’s a really big percentage of my life and career, so so much of us has sort of melded into one.”

She continued, “I really hope that I have a similar heart to hers. She has this really beautiful, unending kindness and positive outlook towards the world. I wish I could be as positive as she is at times. That’s certainly a difference we have.”

The WEST SIDE STORY star explained that Snow White “sees the good in everyone and everything, and I hope that I and so many people who watch this film can embody that as well.”

In an interview with GOOD MORNING AMERICA, Zegler said being cast in the movie was “the honor of a lifetime.”

“I think every young person dreams about a phone call like that,” she continued. “This one is certainly extra special as a huge Disney fan. “To get to bring [Snow White] to life in such a unique way and such a special way, it’s just a beautiful opportunity, and I’m very honored.”

“I really hope that audiences walk away from this film with an understanding of the true meaning of fairness,” she said. “There is a message that’s been carried on for almost 90 years now from the original animated classic that is, fairness is what is within. Fairness is to do with your heart, the way you treat the people around you, and it has nothing to do with what you look like, and that’s the misunderstanding between Snow White and the Evil Queen.”

She elaborated on this theme in an interview with Allure, saying, “It’s so important for the next generation to see movies like SNOW WHITE — to realize there’s nothing wrong with choosing to do what’s right and that it doesn’t have to be with anger or a clenched fist.”

“Anger can be a powerful emotion, but it doesn’t bring the brightest future,” Zegler continued. “[It uncovers] fear, insecurity, and a lack of love. Snow White chooses kindness and still makes change. Power takes many forms. I hope we’ll see a new dawn of kindness and acceptance in the next couple of years. And people don’t see the need to use hate to cause further division.

From SNOW WHITE to WEST SIDE STORY to a Broadway stint as Juliet in a new production of ROMEO AND JULIET, Zegler is used to taking on beloved and iconic roles.

“There’s definitely an unspoken pressure that comes from the reimagination and retelling of classic stories,” she explained. “I’ve been very honored for much of my career to bring those stories back to the new generation…there’s a lot of responsibility there, and so you have to take excellent care of the classic versions of these stories that people care so deeply about and toe the line for the modern age and make them understand why it needs to be retold.”

2025’s SNOW WHITE promotes “true love, doing the right thing, letting goodness be your guide, inner beauty, freedom, honesty, sincerity, sacrifice, and bravely standing up to tyranny,” per the Movieguide® review, and that is paying off at the box office.

SNOW WHITE has already made over $85 million at the worldwide box office and is currently the No. 1 movie in America, opening at over $42 million. For comparison, second place went to BLACK BAG, with a little over $4 million.

Gavin's got a podcast


Who else has listened to it?

I must say, I found it to be quite interesting and he seems to have a good balance of guests on there.

I listened to the Michael Savage and Ezra Klein episodes; I found both to be pretty good.


Obviously, I think he's using this a vehicle to gear-up for a 2028 run, as what I've noticed is he's definitely pushing more toward the center with some of the things he's saying. And I think he made the conscience decision to do a podcast because he (like many others) now realizes that the "podcast world" was something that Democrats avoided (at their own peril) in the last election and has the hindsight to see that the podcast realm can move the needle a lot more than people assumed it would.

Seven headed beast

Revelation 12
12 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron:
and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.






What was the name of that Jewish king who sought to kill Jesus soon as he was born?
Anyone know who that beast of a man was?

St. Louis Pride Says Anheuser-Busch Ended Sponsorship—As Corporate Support For LGBTQ Pride Celebrations Dwindles

Dwindling support for Pride comes amid a wave of backlash targeting DEI across the federal government and corporate America. Many companies, including Meta, Amazon and Google, have walked back diversity goals and other DEI-related programs in recent months. Some companies also appeared to pull back on public support for Pride last year after conservative boycotts targeted various companies, including Bud Light, Target and Nike, over their outreach to the LGBTQ community.
It is activism and the radical left that turned so many off to such displays.

Hello

What can I say? And how can I say it? Hello from my sofa. Been a Christian for some time. I struggle, not particularly with my faith, more so with this world and living in it. I try to stay positive. My cat had to be put down Tuesday, so still very upset about that. I miss her and her wonderful cuddles. It's been a long time since I've been on a forum and chatted online. Trying to check my emails everyday would be a good start and I still don't understand Facebook. Anyways, that's me for the moment.

Should a Christian turn themselves in for minor crimes committed before being saved? (Mostly answered but you can still reply if you want)

I've been thinking about this and I wonder, should I turn myself in for crimes I committed before coming to Christ, i.e. Pirating games and movies, I stole a thing of beef jerky from a gas station when I was in middle school once, and other things. And if this applies for smaller crimes what about bigger ones, how should a Christian go about this? In terms of Pirating games I bought most of the games I pirated before becoming a Christian, kinda reconciling it, but would I be called to go to the police and admit these crimes and asked to be charged, or would this be just a personal thing for me to decide.

EDIT: I have been reading some of the answers today and I got a clear, picture, If i want to I can pay what I owe with normal stuff If i want, but I don't need to bother police or anything with it. The main reason I wanted this question answered is because the bible says to obey our earthly governments when it doesn't conflict with God's word. And I just want to be on the right side of the law so I can be within God's will. But your answers have been helpful. Thank you everyone who's responded so far.
