According to the Christian History Institute, many southern Christians felt that slavery, in one Baptist minister’s words, “stands as an institution of God.”
While these southern Christians quoted Bible verses to defend and justify slavery, they completely neglected the context and proper application of these Bible verses.
There are 2 kinds of slavery.
The Oxford Union held a debate on the proposition: “The West is Right to be Suspicious of Islam,” and the most notable thing about it was the fact that the host of the debate used the opportunity to make threats of violence against Tommy Robinson and Laurence Fox, arguing in favor alongside Jonathan Sacerdoti.
HOLY SH*T. The Oxford Union is compromised!
Tommy Robinson asked them can we agree that executing boys, ethnic cleansing and paedophilia are all wrong
And that Human rights, free speech, rights for children, women and gays should be protected
And they voted in favour of Islam pic.twitter.com/ZlQkEcUpp3

Only Mark Carney and Doug Ford know if there was actually a deal between them to each support a major transportation infrastructure project that the other had championed.
Maybe it wasn’t quite that formal, but The Toronto Star reported this week that it very much was: An agreement that the federal Liberals would wave through the Ontario PC plans for a massive expansion of Toronto’s island airport, and in exchange members of the Ford caucus would give their tacit blessing to Carney’s Alto high-speed rail vision. The pact was made between the two leaders at the premier’s Toronto home. There was reportedly a handshake and everything.

I am thinking of sending Anthony Fauci a copy of Herodotus’ Histories. After his humiliating performance before the Senate last week, Dr. Fauci might find the story of Solon’s visit to the Lydian king Croesus instructive. Croesus displays his great wealth to the Athenian lawgiver and asks, “Who is the happiest man you have ever seen?” Croesus expects Solon to name him. Instead, Solon says that no one can be judged truly happy while still living because fate can reverse one’s fortune in an instant.

As 17-year-old Laurie Wickens drove some friends home from a dance on a clear October 1967 night, he spotted lights in the sky.
As he travelled on Highway 3 in an isolated, coastal part of southwestern Nova Scotia, he saw four lights in the sky that flashed in sequence, then all together at the same time.
All of a sudden, the object crashed into the waters off the fishing village of Shag Harbour.
More UFO news …
Police have identified the suicidal gunman who killed two people and wounded seven others when he opened fire at an Idaho In-N-Out.
Chad Williams, 24, went on a deadly rifle-wielding rampage at the In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls on Saturday afternoon before killing himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police Chief Matthew Hicks said at a press conference Sunday.
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s careful march to a majority has reached the coda. With three by-elections set for Aug. 31, the Liberals can put to rest the rumblings about their majority status and earn the halo of legitimacy.
These by-elections are about both seats and symbolism because of the unprecedented way Carney came to have a majority in the first place: five floor-crossings and a trio of byelection wins. Never before has a Canadian government leapt from minority to majority status outside of a general election. While impressive as a political act, the patchwork approach invited skepticism, even hostility. Is this a true majority government, or a sleight of hand?
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s latest attempt to persuade the Trump administration to provide Ankara with state-of-the-art F-35 stealth warplanes is just the latest example of the Turkish leader’s willingness to indulge in double-dealing as part of his long-running campaign to establish Turkey as a dominant force in the Middle East.
Erdogan’s courtship of US President Donald Trump has so far succeeded to the extent that the American leader has publicly described Turkey as being “a tremendous ally for me” and also saying that he regards Erdogan as a personal friend.
The Michigan Supreme Court has ordered state regulators to reconsider a key permit that allowed a planned tunnel to carry an oil pipeline under part of the Great Lakes to move forward.
The 6-1 decision further clouds the future of the 73-year-old pipeline owned by Canadian energy transportation company Enbridge that carries petroleum from Superior, Wisconsin, to Sarnia, Ontario.
On both Friday’s installment of Nightly News and Saturday’s edition of Today, NBC correspondents Raf Sanchez and Matt Bradley lamented that President Trump noticed footage of the mass mob of migrants that rushed into Spain on Thursday and “seized” on them as a warning of what could happen here if Democrats win in November. Additionally, both undersold just how frustrated the rest of Europe is with the government of socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

A Regina mosque has received approval to broadcast a weekly call to prayer.
On Friday, Regina City Jamia Masjid announced on social media that its Call to Prayer (Adhan) permit had been approved Thursday, allowing the mosque to broadcast the call from its loudspeaker on the building’s rooftop.
This is the reason our elites decided to blight Canada with Islamist immigration. They wanted to fatten their wallets. They don’t give a damn about you and I.
A growing number of west African countries are implementing or strengthening anti-LGBTQ+ laws, amid local political pressures and a global pushback against LGBTQ+ rights.
In March, Senegal doubled the maximum prison sentence for gay sex to 10 years and criminalised the “promotion” of homosexuality. Niger criminalised “sexual relations with a person of the same sex” in February, the first time same-sex intimacy had been outlawed in the country.
Ukrainian soldiers fighting on the front lines of Russia’s war are now testing curved body armour designed specifically for women so they’re better protected against bullets, shrapnel and drone strikes.
Ukrainian MP Iryna Nykorak said the majority of the more than 10,000 women serving in combat in her country are wearing ballistic plates for men that are too bulky, heavy and don’t fit their chests. Some decide not to wear the plate at all, which makes it useless, she said.
Female Friendly Body Armour was approved for use in the Ukraine army in 2023, why are we reinventing the wheel?
Someone’s gettin paid?
