Islamic terrorists carried out what appeared to be coordinated attacks in Russia on Sunday, attacking churches and synagogues and killing multiple police officers in two cities. The attacks happened in Russia’s southernmost Dagestan province, a majority-Muslim region that is a breeding ground for Islamic terrorism. The Israeli government provided the most information about the attacks while the Russians have provided few details up to this point. “The synagogue in Derbent was set on fire and burned to the ground,” Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement. “Local guards were killed. The synagogue in Makhachkala was attacked by gunfire, there are no further details. At the same time, churches were attacked in Makhachkala and a priest was murdered in Derbent.” “As far as is known, there were no worshipers in the synagogues at the time of the attack and there are no known casualties from among the Jewish community,” the statement continued. “The Israeli embassy in Moscow is in contact with the leaders of the Jewish community in the district.” Dagestan Public Monitoring Commission Chairman Shamil Khadulaev said that the terrorists slit the priest’s throat in Derbent. Other priests have barricaded themselves in the church and are waiting for help, he said. At least six police officers were killed by the terrorists and a dozen more were injured. It’s not yet clear how many people total were killed or injured from the attacks. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation opened a terrorism investigation in response to the attacks, which happened in the the Dagestan cities of Derbent and Makhachkala. “All the circumstances of the incident and the persons involved in the terrorist attacks are being established, and their actions will be given a legal assessment,” the investigative directorate statement reads. Videos that circulated online showed the Islamic terrorists shooting at people and one of the synagogues being burnt to the ground. The attacks come after Islamic terrorists murdered over 140 people in a large attack on a concert hall in Moscow earlier this year.

President Joe Biden should take a drug test before and after his upcoming CNN debate with former President Donald Trump, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) said on Sunday. Jackson, who served as a White House physician for Trump and former President Barack Obama, told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” he plans to make a formal request. “Tomorrow, I’m sending a letter to President Biden, to his physician, Dr. [Kevin] O’Connor, and I’m CCing his entire Cabinet,” Jackson said. “It’s embarrassing that I have to do this and it’s really embarrassing as a former White House physician to have to do something like this but we don’t have any choice, based on what’s going on,” he added. DRUG TEST BIDEN BEFORE THE DEBATE! Will we see Sleepy Joe, who lives in the White House Basement, or will we see Jacked-Up Joe who made an appearance at the State Of The Union??? The American people deserve to know if their "President" is taking Performance Enhancing Drugs!… pic.twitter.com/bAriC4LxaY — Ronny Jackson (@RonnyJacksonTX) June 23, 2024 Some Republicans have speculated whether Biden uses drugs to perk up before a performance. The White House rejected such talk after Biden’s State of the Union address this year. “It’s telling that Republican officials are unable to stop announcing how intimidated they remain by [the] President’s State of the Union performance,” said White House spokesman Andrew Bates. Trump, who has pressed for pre-debate drug tests in the past, suggested at a campaign stop in Philadelphia on Saturday that Biden will “come out all jacked up” for their face-off next week. Jackson said his latest in a series of letters will be “demanding on behalf of many millions of concerned Americans right now that he submit to a drug test before and after this debate.” The congressman noted he is “specifically” interested in performance-enhancing drugs and opined that Biden did not appear to be his usual self in his most recent State of the Union address. “There’s just really no way to explain that, other than he was on something, that they’d given him medications,” Jackson added. Pressed to comment on what drugs Biden could be taking, Jackson said Aricept is one that often comes up. “But there’s all kinds of new drugs that are out there that are specifically for Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, things that cause these cognitive issues that the president seems to be subject to,” he added. “Those drugs are out there. They treat the cognition part of it,” Jackson said. “They try to make it where he can think straighter and he’s not lost and confused as much.” The congressman also mentioned drugs “that actually just increase alertness, like Adderall and other types of amphetamine-type drugs, maybe Provigil, things like that.” He continued, “And then there’s a host of drugs that try to take the agitated edge off of most of these cognitive disorders.” With Biden at the presidential retreat in Maryland for debate prep, Jackson pondered whether the president’s aides are working to see which arrangement of drugs works best. “He’s going to be at Camp David for a full week before the debate,” he said. “Part of that is probably experimenting with just getting the doses just right, because they have to treat his cognition.” Jackson concluded the interview by contending that Biden would be making a “dangerous” choice if he gets drugged up for the debate. “On a day-to-day basis, we see a Joe Biden that struggles to stay awake. He looks sleepy. He slurs his speech. He shuffles when he walks. He’s having these freezing episodes now,” he said. “So the American people need to know what’s going on,” Jackson went on. “And our adversaries and our allies see this. And it’s a national security issue for us.”

Niagara SPCA workers are asking bird lovers to consider adopting a “fouth-mouthed” parrot that recently came under their care. He only swears “a little”—they promise… The shelter shared a post about its new resident on Facebook earlier this month hoping someone would be willing to take in the “spicy” bird, who is appropriately named Pepper. The white-fronted Amazon parrot came through the doors “as a surrender.” And workers soon learned that he swears like a sailor. But they knew he deserved love, nonetheless. In its plea to find Pepper a home, the SPCA admitted that there are pros and cons to owning a “potty-mouthed parrot.” On one hand, he could “offend grandma’s Tuesday night knitting group.” But, “unannounced company” would think twice about stopping by after they get “cussed out” by “your new foul-mouthed feathered friend.” “If you think Pepper’s feathers are colorful, you should hear his language,” the post reads. “Forget ‘does Polly wanna cracker?’ Does Pepper wanna kick your a$$ is the real question.” The “Foul-Mouthed” Parrot Will Soon Move To His Forever Home The shelter hopes Pepper will find himself in a humor-loving home that will embrace his impolite ways. And it looks like that will happen. The parrot officially went up for adoption last week. As of Friday, more than 400 people had put in adoption applications. The shelter narrowed that list to ten and will make an official decision after reaching out to the prospects. “We looked for adopters who offered parrot experience, information on housing/enclosures, and recognition that they would be able to age with Pepper or had plans for Pepper if he outlived them,” reads a follow-up post. The Niagara SPCA also gave a shoutout to those who replied to its post with the same level of comedy. “While we offer up humor as a way to broaden the pool of adopters, it doesn’t mean placement is not taken seriously,” the follow-up continued. “But hats off to those who responded in kind. We see you Wild Bill who owns a saloon in San Antonio, and the ex-Navy Sailor whose language is a match for Pepper’s.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

An archaeological discovery has seemingly corroborated an epic battle that took place some 2,700 years ago and is documented in the Bible.King Sennacherib's Assyrian troops attempted a siege of Jerusalem approximately 2,700 years ago. King Hezekiah of Judah allegedly prayed for a miracle to save the city from being captured. As per the Bible, an "angel of the Lord" descended on the invading Assyrian troops attempting to besiege Jerusalem. The "angel of the Lord" allegedly "struck down" 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in a single night. Sennacherib – the king of Assyria – realized the devastation and was forced into a military retreat. The "angel of the Lord" allegedly prevented an Assyrian conquest of Jerusalem, according to accounts detailed in 2 Kings 19:35 and Isaiah 37:36.2 Kings 19:35:"And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the Lord went out and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred fourscore and five thousand; and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses." Historical records do indicate that there was an attempted Assyrian siege of Jerusalem in 701 B.C. However, Sennacherib's Annals claim that Assyrian troops returned to Assyria after receiving tribute from King Hezekiah. He was purportedly allowed to stay in power as a vassal of the Neo-Assyrian Empire – which included present-day Iraq, as well as parts of Iran, Turkey, Syria, and Kuwait.Archaeologists had previously discovered a scene carved into the stone walls of King Sennacherib's palace, which displayed the Assyrian conquest of Lachish – a city 42 miles south of Jerusalem. The carvings showed how the Assyrian military bases were laid out.Archaeologist Stephen Compton carefully examined these ancient engravings to determine the locations of ancient military camps set up by King Sennacherib in the Levant.Compton wrote a peer-reviewed paper titled "The Trail of Sennacherib’s Siege Camps," which was recently published in the journal Near Eastern Archaeology. In the paper, Compton mapped out the likely locations for the ancient Assyrian military camps, from around 700 B.C.Compton utilized aerial photographs of Lachish from World War II, landscape images, satellite imagery, onsite surveys, ancient pottery, and archaeological data to create a virtual map of Sennacherib's camps.After Sennacherib's invasion of Lachish, the ruins near the city were abandoned for approximately 2,600 years. The ancient Arabic name for the ruins was "Khirbet al Mudawwara," meaning "The Ruins of the Camp of the Invading Ruler." Based on the discovery of pottery sherds from a period of prehistory known as the Chalcolithic, Compton suspects that the ruins were an Assyrian military camp used for the invasion and then abandoned after the city was conquered. There was similar ruins north of Jerusalem, which was on a hill that was known in Arabic as "Jebel el Mudawwara," or "The Mountain of the Camp of the Invading Ruler."Some archaeologists believed the ruins were a Roman military camp built by Titus during the later Roman invasion of Jerusalem. However, Compton noted that Roman military camps were always rectangular, but Assyrian military camps were an oval shape. "We knew it was an oval. What I did was I took the image of the relief and match it up with recognizable features in the landscape with the actual landscape and overlayed the two," Compton told Fox News. "I used earlier photographs of the landscape from World War II, right before major changes were made. And it was a match." Using the location of the military camps, Compton said that he had determined the location of two lost ancient cities – Libnah and Nob, Both cities were known to have been conquered by the Assyrians, but whose exact locations were uncertain. Nob was described as a "city of priests" near Jerusalem in 1 Samuel 22:19. Compton said Nob "held the tabernacle, the holiest site in Judaism prior to the construction of the temple."Compton – an independent scholar specializing in Near Eastern archaeology – believes that the sites of the Assyrian military camps tell the story of where Sennacherib's armies invaded and conquered. He concluded that the discovery of the military camps proves that King Sennacherib's infamous siege of Jerusalem did happen. Like Blaze News?

Radio host Charlamagne tha God made a dire prediction for the performance of President Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential debate. Meanwhile, he also said that Donald Trump will "give us one of the greatest stand-up specials we've ever seen."Charlamagne tha God made the presidential debate prediction on his "Brilliant Idiots" podcast with comedian Andrew Schulz. The "Breakfast Club" host warned that Biden is too elderly to "keep up" with Trump. Charlamagne said, "Here's the thing, do you not want Trump to be interrupted? … You’re just going to let Trump go, and you can’t jump in, and you 80-plus years old and trying to keep up with every single lie he’s going to lay out? Are you serious? Biden’s not going to be able to keep up!”The 90-minute debate airing on CNN will be hosted by Jake Tapper and Dana Bash in Atlanta. There will be two commercial breaks and microphones will be muted throughout the debate except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak.Speaking about Biden's alleged cognitive decline, Charlamagne hoped that the president's handlers could provide him with medications to increase his seemingly deteriorating mental faculties. "Listen, I don’t know, maybe it won’t be bad. Maybe they got some new s**t they’ve been working on, some super serum, you know what I mean, and they’re going to shoot … it’s going to be bad," he remarked. Charlamagne continued, "And it’s going to be so joke-filled … Donald Trump is dangerous because he’s funny … He’s going to give us one of the greatest stand-up specials we’ve ever seen on June 27th. The names he’s probably working on for Joe, the shit he’s going to come with about Hunter. Oh my God. ‘He smokes crack, doesn’t he, Joe? He smokes crack. Does he smoke crack, Joe?'”He added, "You’re putting Joe in a really bad situation."Charlamagne tha God did note that the debate was going to be "must-see TV" and compared it to a "real, live freestyle battle.""Good luck, President Joe Biden," he said.Earlier this month, Hunter Biden was convicted of three federal gun-related charges for making false statements on a federal ATF form regarding his drug use. In May, Trump demanded that Biden be drug tested ahead of the presidential debate that is to be held on Thursday. "I just want to debate this guy, but you know – and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump told Republicans at a GOP dinner speech in St. Paul, Minnesota. In January, Charlamagne also slammed Biden for the migrant crisis. "I honestly have never spoken to as many people who are concerned about the migrant issue as I have over the past year…[Biden] is the President of the United States of America. If he can take credit for the good things that happen in this country, he has to take credit for the bad as well because those things happen on his watch," he stated. In May 2020, Charlamagne tha God had a tense confrontation when then-candidate Joe Biden told him: "You've got more questions? Well, I'll tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."Like Blaze News?
