In 2023, the Des Moines School Board appointed Ian Andre Roberts as Superintendent of Schools, granting him one of the most lucrative contracts in Iowa public education. His base salary began at $270,000. In a state where teachers routinely earn less than $50,000, that figure alone should have drawn scrutiny. But what makes this case far more disturbing is not the salary, but the man who received it. Roberts was an illegal immigrant with a criminal record that stretched back decades. Roberts first entered the United States in 1994 on a tourist visa. By 1996, he was arrested in New York for narcotics possession with intent to sell, forgery, and possession of a forged instrument. Two years later, he was charged in Queens for unauthorized use of a vehicle. None of this prevented him from reentering the country multiple times on student visas, filing for work permits, and applying repeatedly for permanent residency. Yet Roberts remained, moving through the system while adding new offenses to his record. In 2012, he was convicted in Maryland for reckless driving. In 2020, he faced weapons charges in New York. In 2022, he was convicted in Pennsylvania for unlawful possession of a loaded firearm. Then, in September 2025, he was arrested in Des Moines with a Glock 9mm, a hunting knife, and $3,000 in cash. He has since been charged as an illegal alien in possession of firearms. How could such a man be entrusted with the education of more than 30,000 Iowa students? The answer lies with the Des Moines School Board. Either they failed to perform basic due diligence, or they knew and deliberately looked the other way. Iowa families deserve leaders who follow the law, not officials who break it. [Opinion] @patrician And it's a different time and generation. Gussie Busch would never have tolerated such nonsense. Not from the beer company and not from the Cardinals. Do you ever wonder why corporate news stories seem so one-sided in their “climate change” coverage, promoting the most radical theories while ridiculing so-called “climate deniers?” Similarly, have you ever pondered how judges who are not scientists or climate experts render opinions favourable to the climate cult while citing scientific “facts” and “evidence” to bolster their verdicts? For some climate-related stories, CBS News has of late been partnering with Climate Central, a non-profit that bills itself as “policy-neutral” and “independent,” but acknowledges on its own website that it “uses science, big data and technology to generate thousands of local storylines and compelling visuals that make climate change personal and show what can be done about it. While it may not be shocking that far-left (formerly mainstream) news agencies are “partnering” with outside climate groups to produce their stories, more disturbing is the notion that our courts might be subject to such influences. And yet, a day before the Fox News story on CBS came a report from National Review revealing just that. “An ‘educational’ programme that aims to convince judges to side with climate activists in state and federal cases has already reached more than 2,000 judges nationwide,” the magazine reported. “The programme, called the Climate Judiciary Project (CJP), began under the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) in 2018. Its objective, according to ELI, is to ‘make available to federal, state, and local judges the basic science they need to adjudicate the climate litigation over which they preside’.” While it’s good that these conflicts have been brought to light, it is not unreasonable to suspect that these entanglements may only represent the tip of the iceberg – an iceberg that even the most radical climate zealot should admit is far from melting. https://expose-news.com/2025/10/02/news-has-partnered-with-climate-central/ @patrician Oh brother. They'll have plenty of climate change to talk about during the trumpet judgments. Key Points: In a discovery that may have profound impacts on aging, scientists in Beijing have taken a dramatic step toward what once seemed impossible: making old animals biologically young again. The study was published last month in the journal Cell. By fortifying human stem cells with a gene long linked to longevity, they rejuvenated aged monkeys - improving memory, protecting bones, calming inflammation, and restoring youthful activity across dozens of organs. The work, while still in animals, is among the most compelling demonstrations yet that aging in primates might be reversible. The results were striking: Bone health: Normally, older primates show progressive bone loss, a close analog to osteoporosis in humans. Monkeys that received SRCs maintained or even improved bone density, suggesting the treatment reversed skeletal decline. Cognitive performance: When tested on memory and learning tasks, the treated monkeys performed significantly better, recalling objects and navigating mazes more effectively than untreated peers. Inflammation: Blood tests revealed a sharp drop in inflammatory markers. Since chronic inflammation - sometimes called “inflammaging” - drives many age-related diseases, this finding suggests SRCs could help blunt the root of multiple disorders. Organ vitality: Post-treatment scans and biopsies revealed rejuvenation in the brain, bone, and even reproductive organs. The researchers believe this widespread effect was mediated by exosomes — tiny vesicles released by SRCs that carry rejuvenating proteins and genetic material to other cells, essentially acting as messengers of youth. As one of the lead scientists, Si Wang, put it: "We see evidence of rejuvenation." For now, the macaques remain under study, their bodies whispering signals of youth from transplanted cells. But the implications are profound: if scientists can replenish the body’s repair machinery with cells designed to resist aging, medicine might shift from treating diseases one by one to addressing their common root. That vision - once dismissed as science fiction - is now edging closer to scientific fact.

Evangelicals were defined by Lifeway Research as people who strongly agreed with the following four statements:
So what do these Evangelicals believe beyond those four basic beliefs? So what can we do about these kinds of survey results? Well, first, parents need to be teaching their children! Secondly, pastors and other Christian leaders need to stop assuming their congregations know the basics of the Christian faith, and they need to start incorporating theology and doctrine into their teaching. Pastors are called to be shepherds, discipling the flock. Part of that is teaching doctrine and theology so their churches are filled with robust Christians who’ve moved on from “milk” to “meat.”
