    Leftist totalitarian mindset

    Former Vice President Mike Pence spoke at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire on Thursday October 31st.

    Pennsylvania wastewater might provide 40% of US lithium needs.

    While good news seems to sparse, it seems that lithium could be extracted from wastewater of shale drilling. Perhaps this could be the basis of a reasonable transition to the use of electric vehicles (EVs).There seem to be technical issues with EVs that need to be resolved and working people...

    Online Septuagint

    I might have overlooked something but I didn’t notice if we have any links to the Septuagint in TAW. Perhaps an online Septuagint is something rather new also. Anyway, here are links to the Old & New Testaments. https://www.ellopos.net/elpenor/greek-texts/septuagint/default.asp...

Dr. Christopher Veniamin has some excellent audio videos articulating the Orthodox faith on matters like salvation, hesychasm, the Jesus Prayer etc. I am pretty simple so I do...

    Portland, Oregon Walmart Closings

    Walmart is getting out of Portland, Oregon because of theft and lack of law enforcement. This city is a prime example of Democrat Party poverty creation, poverty perpetuation, & political control.

    The Ever Virgin Mother

    Does anyone know where the unbelief of that the blessed Virgin Mother not being ever Virgin originated?
