With Trump's Comeback, it is Easy for a Republican Woman to Win Next election

Former  President Bill Clinton  said during a recent interview that the country may not be ready for a female president following Vice President Kamala Harris' loss to President-elect Donald Trump, and suggested a Republican woman might have an easier time getting elected.  "Maybe," Clinton replied to CBS' Tracy Smith's question about whether the U.S. isn't ready for a woman president. "I think in some ways we've moved to the right as a reaction to all the turmoil. And I think if Hillary had been nominated in 2008, she would've walked in, just like Obama did." Clinton spoke to Smith about his  new book, "Citizen,"  and was asked if the country had changed following Harris' loss. The book also reportedly details his frustration while being questioned about his infamous affair with Monica Lewinsky. "Well, I think all these cultural battles that we're fighting make it harder in some ways for a woman to run," he said. 

Is Paying of Tithes Compulsory?

Image
Activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju has said nobody forces anyone to pay tithes in churches again. He was reacting to a message by Becky Enenche, the wife of the founder of Dunamis International gospel Centre, Paul Enenche who warned that any Christian that fails to pay tithe, ”will go back to square one.” Becky stated this while addressing her congregations about the significance of consistent tithe payment. The pastor in a now trending video online urged Christians to be consistent in the payment of their tithes, which she refers to as “God’s portion.” But in a terse statement, Adeyanju said: “Nobody forces anybody to pay tithes or offering in church. You can actually attend a church service without paying tithes and offerings, and nobody will put a gun to your head. “And the majority of the people crying more than the bereaved, who are always screaming about offering and tithes, are people that don’t even pay tithes. “So I’ve never seen where people will decide that they want to tell peo

Uncertain Remains the Reason Why $824 billion Disappointed from Pentagon Budget

Image
The Pentagon failed its seventh consecutive audit on Friday as the agency was unable to fully account for its massive  $824 billion budget,  though officials were confident the Department of Defense "has turned a corner" in understanding its budgetary challenges going forward. The audits resulted in a disclaimer of opinion, which means auditors were provided with insufficient information to form an accurate opinion of the accounts. Of the  Department of Defense’s  (DoD) 28 reporting entities that had standalone audits, 9 received an unmodified audit opinion, 1 received a qualified opinion, 15 received disclaimers, and 3 opinions remain pending, the Pentagon said. But with the goal of achieving a clean audit by 2028, Michael McCord, Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and Chief Financial Officer, said the agency "has turned a corner in its understanding of the depth and breadth of its challenges."  "Momentum is on our side, and throughout the Department the
