White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre became agitated during an interview on Monday and hung up the phone after she was asked a couple of fair questions about President Joe Biden. KJP lost her cool during an interview with Charlotte’s WBT News Director Mark Garrison during a live radio interview after Garrison asked her about Biden’s mental fitness for office and the high costs of everyday products. “When I told a number of people that I was talking to you today‚ it was interesting‚ though‚ they all said‚ ‘would you please just ask her‚ does the president have dementia?’ So before I move on from that‚ does he?” Garrison asked. “That Mark‚ Mark‚ I can’t even believe you’re asking me this question. That is a credibly offensive question to ask‚” she fired back. “But‚ you know people ask it‚” Garrison responded. “Wait. Oh let me — no‚ no‚ no‚ no‚ no. You — Mark‚ you‚ you‚ you‚ you‚ you’re taking us down this rabbit hole. Let me‚ let me‚ let me be very clear about this‚” KJP responded. “For the past several years‚ the president’s physician has laid out very‚ in a comprehensive way‚ the president’s health‚” she said. “This is a president — if you watch him every day‚ if you really pay attention to his record and what he has done‚ you will see exactly how focused he’s been on the American people‚ how historic his actions have been. And so I’m not even going to truly‚ truly‚ really‚ you know‚ take‚ take the premise of your question. I think it is incredibly insulting. And‚ and so we can‚ you know‚ we can move on to the next question.” Garrison then mentioned the high costs of groceries and gas and asked how does Biden win votes when people are struggling to make ends meet. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Look‚ the president understands. He grew up in a middle-class family‚ working class family in Scranton‚ Pennsylvania. He gets it‚” she claimed. “He understands how difficult it is for Americans who are sitting around their kitchen table every month trying to figure out what they’re going to pay for. You have to remember‚ when the president walked into this administration‚ there were multiple crises happening. There was COVID‚ there was‚ the economy was in a tailspin because of the last administration‚ because of what the President Trump left us with.” “Now you’re asking me about gas prices‚” she continued. “The president took action on gas prices. Let’s not forget Russia’s invasion on Ukraine skyrocketed prices of gas. And because the president took action‚ we see we are in a different place than we were a year ago in gas prices. Eggs‚ milk‚ seafood products‚ all the important groceries‚ those costs have gone down because of what this president has been able to do. And‚ and with that‚ thank you so much‚ Mark. Have an amazing‚ amazing day.” KJP then abruptly hung up the phone as the line went to a dial tone. “Wow!” Garrison responded. “Wow!” WATCH: LISTEN: KJP hangs up on a Charlotte‚ North Carolina radio host after being asked if Joe Biden has dementia and about high gas prices and high grocery prices. pic.twitter.com/eu69qAQhVH — Conservative War Machine (@WarMachineRR) March 26‚ 2024

A mother is being hailed as a hero after she risked her life to save her daughter from an abduction. Surveillance footage of the incident has gone viral because it shows the mother snapping in action and defending her 18-year-old daughter without a second thought. The man attacked as the daughter was returning home to her apartment after walking her dog. The teen removed the leash from her dog and seemed to be completely unaware that someone had been following her. Just as she was reaching for the doorknob‚ the masked attacker jumped from the stairwell and grabbed her. The daughter screamed and tried to fight out of the man’s arms. All of a sudden‚ the mother came out of the apartment not yet aware of what was happening. She found the dog alone and checked him then saw her daughter fighting in the stairwell. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Fox News (@foxnews) The mother‚ Adriana Alvarez‚ told FOX 5 New York that the man‚ George Vassiliou‚ was a former co-worker of her daughter‚ Lex. The two had worked at a grocery store‚ but management fired George for stalking Lex. Lex had a restraining order against him‚ and she’d called the police on him twice. The hero mother was able to stop George from kidnapping her daughter. Most of the fight took place off camera‚ and Adriana suffered multiple injuries‚ including a fractured orbital bone. “My first instinct was to pull her and grab her back‚” she said. “As soon as I did that‚ he used pepper spray. He was pepper spraying me‚ and he used that time while my eyes were closed to punch me. To hurt me. To keep grabbing her and take her.” Fortunately‚ a neighbor heard screaming outside his door and he was able to help Adriana and hold the attacker down until police came. Adriana spent several days in a hospital‚ but she is doing well today. Police are holding George on bond for $50‚000. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

'Started to get these symptoms not alcohol-related'

Christians around the world will commemorate the most important event in our faith’s history this Sunday‚ but the Resurrection of Jesus isn’t just important to those who believe a Nazarene who walked the earth 2‚000 years ago is the Son of God. The secular world’s history also turns on this pivotal event‚ which inspired so much progress that we take for granted today. Christianity turned the values of the Pagan Roman world upside-down. The Romans considered the early Christians subversives—many called them “atheists” because they didn’t worship any pagan gods—and put them to death for refusing to worship the emperor. After some emperors adopted the faith‚ Emperor Julian attempted to revive paganism‚ but lamented that the Christian ethic had transformed the empire. “It is their benevolence to strangers‚ their care for the graves of the dead‚ and the pretended holiness of their lives that have done most to increase atheism‚” Julian wrote to a pagan priest of Galatia in 362 A.D. Those who believed in the Resurrection established the first hospitals‚ and Christianity spread rapidly during Roman plagues‚ as pagans fled the cities‚ but Christians stayed and tended to the sick‚ risking death but saving souls. Rodney Stark‚ a now-deceased social sciences professor at Baylor University and author of the book “The Victory of Reason: How Christianity Led to Freedom‚ Capitalism‚ and Western Success‚” told PJ Media in 2017 that without the Resurrection‚ “we would still be in a world of mystery and probably in a world of repressive empires.” “Remember‚ at the dawn of history‚ people didn’t live in really tiny countries. They lived under huge‚ huge empires‚ nasty ones‚” the professor added. He argued that Christianity historically has been the driving force behind limited government‚ science‚ capitalism‚ the abolition of slavery‚ medicine‚ organized charities‚ and more—and that Christianity would have been impossible without the belief in the Resurrection. According to the four Gospel narratives‚ Jesus’ followers were quick to abandon their rabbi after his excruciating and humiliating death at Golgatha. Something convinced the same Peter who denied Jesus three times to later go to his own painful death saying that Jesus is the Messiah. In I Corinthians 15:17‚ the Apostle Paul wrote‚ “If Christ has not been raised‚ your faith is futile‚ and you are still in your sins.” 1. Universities and Science While many consider faith and science to be inherently incompatible‚ Stark noted that Christianity provides the worldview that makes science comprehensible. “In the rest of the world‚ it’s thought that the universe is far too mystical to be worth thinking about‚” much less experimenting on‚ Stark explained. But “in the West‚ the universe was created by a rational God‚ and consequently it runs by rules and‚ therefore‚ it makes sense to try to understand and discover the rules.” Christians believe that a rational God created an ordered cosmos and created human beings in his image‚ enabling them to think his thoughts after him. Modern universities grew out of the cathedral schools of the Middle Ages‚ and a bishop near the university at Paris made a surprising move in 1277. The bishop condemned certain ideas as anathema‚ among them the idea that the universe is eternal and could not have been different. These ideas‚ promulgated by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle (whom both the Muslim world and the university students held in extremely high regard)‚ discouraged experimentation. If mere deductive reasoning could reveal the full truth of the cosmos‚ then there was no need to examine the world to test different hypotheses. By condemning this idea‚ the bishop paradoxically helped free science from the shackles of Aristotelian thought. 2. Free Markets It is hard to overstate just how wealthy modern Americans are in comparison to most human beings throughout history. Inflation is rising and it is increasingly difficult to afford a home‚ but Americans still enjoy the conveniences of indoor plumbing‚ heating and cooling‚ rapid transportation‚ refrigerators and microwave ovens‚ and endless options for learning and entertainment via the internet and electronic devices. The term capitalism may be controversial‚ but the free market complexity that unleashed this jaw-dropping prosperity and innovation deserves respect and protection. While the German sociologist Max Weber famously traced capitalism back to the “Protestant work ethic‚” Stark found an earlier source—the Catholic monasteries in the Middle Ages. Catholic monasteries set up a complex network of lending at interest‚ and they also changed the narrative on commerce. “In almost all known societies at that time‚ commerce was degraded. It was thought to be nothing a gentleman would have any connection to‚” Stark explained. Yet “Christian theologians‚ who had taken vows of poverty‚ nonetheless worked out that commerce was legitimate.” The growth of complex markets took centuries‚ and some of it did tie in to darker chapters of world history. 3. The Abolition of Slavery In one form or another‚ slavery appears in almost every human society‚ and if slaves ever succeed in overthrowing their masters‚ they often turn their former masters into slaves. “It was only in the West that a society has ever overcome slavery‚ except when it’s forced by outside forces‚” Stark said. Christianity inspired the “only civilization that has ever discovered within itself that slavery is immoral and gotten rid of it.” Medieval Europe first eliminated slavery‚ often in fits and starts‚ and occasionally returning to the practice through trade. Slavery and the slave trade returned in force during the Age of Exploration‚ but in the 1800s‚ abolitionists such as William Wilberforce and Harriet Beecher Stowe led Britain and America in abolishing chattel slavery outright. Abolitionists like them drew deep inspiration from the Christian belief that all humans are made in the image of God‚ and they deeply believed in the Resurrection of Jesus. The New Testament does not require Christians to outlaw slavery‚ but outlawing slavery is the logical conclusion of key Christian doctrines. The Apostle Paul urged Philemon to free his former slave Onesimus. Paul also wrote to the Galatians that‚ when it comes to the grace of God in salvation‚ “There is neither Jew nor Greek‚ there is neither slave nor free‚ there is no male and female‚ for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28). 4. Limited Government Most Americans today have no concept of how united religion and government have been in world history. In ancient Egypt‚ Pharaohs claimed to be gods on Earth‚ and in ancient Mesopotamia‚ kings built large temples to their gods in part to maintain their legitimacy. The three-generation Kim family in control of North Korea perpetuates the idea that the supreme ruler is god. Christianity wrested ultimate power away from political rulers‚ teaching that God held the ultimate authority. St. Augustine divided the world into the “City of Man” and the “City of God‚” emphasizing the independence of the life of faith and service from the concerns of power and everyday life. Civil society grew and flourished because Christians believed both in helping the poor and in working together outside of government institutions. According to David Brooks’ 2007 book “Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism‚” conservatives in strong families who attend church and earn their own paychecks are most likely to give to charity. While Jesus famously told his disciples to pay taxes to the government‚ he also drew an enormously important distinction. “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s” (Mark 12:17) didn’t just mean “pay your taxes.” It also meant that Christians—who are made in God’s image as coins were made in Caesar’s image—owe their ultimate loyalty to God‚ not to the state. The early settlers to America and the Founders employed these principles in government. The Declaration of Independence grounds Americans’ right to revolt from Britain in “the laws of nature and nature’s God.” The First Amendment forbids Congress from making any law “respecting an establishment of religion or abridging the free exercise thereof‚” not because religion is unimportant‚ but because religion is far more important than the government. This separation marks Christian civilization apart from the despotisms of the ancient world and from the communist and fascist totalitarianisms of the 20th century. Civil societies exist in other parts of the world as well‚ but Christianity provides a unique justification for subordinating state power to other concerns. Does All This Suggest the Resurrection Is True? These and other benefits of Christian civilization extend far beyond those who believe in Jesus’ Resurrection‚ and these benefits do not erase the many sins and deceptions perpetrated in the name of Christianity over the centuries. However‚ they do illustrate the side-effects of faith in Jesus‚ which calls Christians to become the “salt of the Earth” and the “light of the world.” If the Holy Spirit is working in Christian churches‚ the blessings of this faith will spill over to those who do not accept the Gospel. These blessings are exactly what we should look for‚ supposing the Resurrection is true. The post The Resurrection of Jesus Is the Most Important Event in History appeared first on The Daily Signal.

This is What a Rigged Election Looks Like

A well-known Chicago veterinarian was charged with distribution of child pornography‚ and federal officials say he was plotting to molest a baby he was to obtain from surrogacy with his husband. The federal charges were filed against Adam Stafford King‚ a 39-year-old veterinary ophthalmologist from Elburn‚ on Thursday and unsealed on Monday. Investigators said that they were made aware of King through an investigation into child porn in New York. They allege that King had sent a person in New York videos of child pornography after chatting with them on the Telegram messaging app. King allegedly interacted under the moniker "@pervichiguy." Investigators said that King admitted via conversations with the other person that he was attracted to children under 10 years old. They said he sent videos of grown men sexually assaulting children. King also allegedly admitted to drugging his nieces and nephews in order to sexually assault them. "I generally use Benadryl‚" he is accused of writing. "I usually double an adult dose." Investigators said that King talked about his plan to molest a baby that he and his husband were going to obtain via surrogacy. He sent the person in New York a photo of clothes they had bought for the baby as well as an ultrasound image of the unborn baby. "I do love the idea of inviting a buddy over when I have my boy‚" he allegedly wrote‚ "just has to be someone I can trust obviously." King was well-known in the dog showing community and had been approved to be a judge with the American Kennel Club. It has since said his judging privileges have been revoked. He was charged with one count of knowingly distributing child pornography. On Tuesday‚ a judge denied bail for the man after calling him a "serious danger to children." It is unclear whether he will face other charges related to the investigation and whether the surrogate adoption will move forward. The FBI said that King was only about a week away from traveling to California in order to attend the birth of the child he allegedly planned to molest before King was arrested.
