The ancient pagan world was full of human sacrifice. The most horrifying instance was child sacrifice. We got an inkling of this in this summer’s smash-hit The Odyssey, with the brief depiction of Agamemnon sacrificing his daughter for favorable winds.

Republican politicians expressed outrage after NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared to laugh on camera during a memorial for the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks.
Republicans choked away an opportunity to regain the Senate in the 2022 midterm elections, and they are apparently willing to take the same risk again in 2024 out of an undying, and unreturned, loyalty to former President Donald Trump.
A single group of voters decided not only the 2016 election and the 2020 election, but is poised to decide the 2024 election as well. These voters broke for President Donald Trump in 2016, for President Joe Biden in 2020, and they are leaning heavily against Trump in 2024.

On May 12, 2014, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested former Liberian Defense Minister Jucontee Thomas Woewiyu as he arrived at Newark International Airport on immigration fraud and perjury charges. Switzerland-based human rights group Civitas Maxima monitored the trial and, behind the scenes, contributed to the prosecution. On July 13, 2018, a federal court found him guilty on 11 counts. "The jury heard testimony about NPFL soldiers cutting off victims’ body parts in front of Woewiyu," the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania press release reported upon his conviction. There would be no appeal. Woewiyu died while awaiting sentencing.
From the start of the COVID pandemic, China's government has ruthlessly censored doctors and researchers who tried to tell the truth about the origin and early spread of the novel coronavirus.
