Joel Osteen’s reputation was submerged in the wreckage left behind by Hurricane Harvey — and at least one pastor says the televangelist got what he deserved.

Customers will be able to use a “Smile to Pay” facial recognition system at the tech-heavy, health-focused concept store, part of a drive by Yum China Holdings Inc to lure a younger generation of consumers.
Yum China, which spun off from its U.S. parent Yum Brands Inc last year, is trying to rev up growth in the world’s second largest economy, where food safety scares and changing consumer tastes have dented sales since 2012.

In case anyone wants to dive deep, this is on the yearly Burning Man festival, out in the Nevada desert on gov land. Ha!! It also covers other deceitful and destructive agendas that look like love and freedom but lead to debauchery and compliance. One of the broadcasters calls Burning Man “The greatest psy-op of all time.” Makes me wonder how to protect the young ones from this highly-crafted and near irresistible lure.

And now I find myself looking up at the trees to see where maybe the owls might be,” Allen said. “We have a group email going that alerts us when we have attacks in the area and one of the neighbors recently was attacked when she was running with her dog.” Continue reading “Swooping owl attacks have Brookside neighbors on alert, experts scratching their heads”

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office says it has “found no evidence” that newspaper reporter and TV star Dorothy Kilgallen was murdered as she dug deep into the JFK assassination.
After announcing last January it would take a new look at Kilgallen’s Nov. 8, 1965, death, a “thorough, eight-month-long investigation” could not conclude that it was a homicide, the DA said in a statement. It thanked her supporters, and promised to review any new evidence that emerges. Continue reading “DA: ‘No evidence’ reporter investigating JFK assassination was murdered”

Though outrage over mass surveillance swept the United States after Edward Snowden’s revelations in 2013, there is little discussion of these invasive practices just four years later.
This apathy comes despite former President Barack Obama’s move to expand to information sharing between agencies just days before Trump took office and after the Trump administration signaled its desire to continue widespread surveillance.

It is 250 years since America’s Mason-Dixon Line was completed. Hailed as a groundbreaking technical achievement, it came to symbolise the border between the Civil War North and South, separating free Pennsylvania from slave-owning Maryland. But who were the two British men who created it?
