Taiwan Hit By Worst Quake In Decades; Several Killed, Hundreds Injured
- Details
- By Worthy News’ George Whitten and Stefan J. Bos
HUALIEN, TAIWAN (Worthy News) – At least nine people were killed, 900 injured, and dozens of buildings damaged in Taiwan’s most powerful earthquake in 25 years, authorities said Wednesday.
However, strict building regulations and widespread public disaster awareness appeared to have staved off an even more deadly catastrophe despite a quake shaking the democratically ruled island.
The quake, given a magnitude of 7.2 by Taiwan’s earthquake monitoring agency and 7.4 by the United States, struck close to Hualien, a city of nearly 100,000 popular with tourists on Taiwan’s eastern coast.
Besides those killed and injured Wednesday, dozens of buildings were damaged, prompting tsunami warnings that extended to Japan and the Philippines before being lifted, according to officials.

TEHRAN/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – An all-out military confrontation between Israel and Iran appeared on the horizon early Tuesday local time as Iran vowed revenge after Israeli warplanes reportedly destroyed the Iranian consulate building in Damascus, killing at least seven people.
Among those who died in the suspected Israeli attack was a senior commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds force, officials confirmed.
Iran’s ambassador to Syria, Hossein Akbari, said Tehran’s response to the strike would be “at the same magnitude and harshness”
State Tax Rates on Long-Term Capital Gains, 2024
- Details
- By Katherine Loughead - Tax Foundations
When taxpayers sell their capital assets, like real property or their shares in a company, net earnings on those sales (capital gains) are generally subject to tax, and net losses on those sales (capital losses) can generally be deducted from income when calculating income tax liability.
One major shortcoming of current policy, however, is that when calculating the capital gain from the sale of an asset, the original purchase price (tax basis) is expressed in nominal terms when subtracted from the selling price. Because no inflation adjustment is made to the original purchase price, capital gains taxes are applied to nominal, not real, increases in wealth, meaning taxpayers are taxed on what is typically a combination of real and fictitious income (although the tax code does provide a few accommodations, such as for qualifying sales of owner-occupied homes and properties transferred to an heir). In some cases, this lack of inflation indexing of the tax basis results in taxpayers paying taxes on what appears on paper to be a capital gain but, due to inflation, is, in real terms, a net loss.
Biden Administration Crushes Religious Freedom and the 1st Amendment by Banning Religious Symbols and Religious Themes at Annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House on Monday

- By Christian Newswire
WASHINGTON -- Today the Biden Administration crushed religious freedom and the 1st Amendment by banning religious symbols and religious themes at the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House.
Here is a link to the guidelines asking youth from National Guard families across the United States and all U.S. territories to submit artwork inspired by the theme “Celebrating our Military Families.”
Under the guidelines put forward by the White House, children would be prohibited from displaying artwork showing them praying for their National Guard family members, attending church with them, or praying over family meals.
In response to this blatant disrespect of religious freedom, the Christian Defense Coalition will display a 15 ft. cross in front of the White House and conduct a prayer gathering.
The Christian Defense Coalition will be displaying the cross on Wednesday, April 3 at 12:00 PM, on Pennsylvania Ave. NW in front of the White House.
Israel Under Pressure To Accept Palestine State On Easter Sunday

CAIRO/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – Israel came under pressure Easter Sunday to accept a Palestinian state as talks resumed on a Gaza truce between the Jewish nation and Hamas, viewed as a terrorist group by Israel’s government and most of its allies.
Just hours before the latest negotiations began in Cairo, Egypt, French foreign minister Stephane Sejourne said his government would put forward a draft “two-state” resolution at the United Nations Security Council.
Sejourne was speaking alongside the Egyptian and Jordanian foreign ministers who all called for an “immediate and permanent ceasefire” in Gaza, despite Israel’s concern that would allow Hamas to regroup and rearm itself.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Friday
- Details
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
At first glance, Good Friday seems pretty bad. It’s fundamentally about a man being executed by one of the most excruciating methods human cruelty has devised. Adding insult to injury, before he died this man was betrayed, beaten, mocked, whipped, jeered, stripped, ridiculed, and slandered. And, to top it all off, the man who so suffered was innocent of any crime. What is good about that?
The grotesque, unsettling nature of this unjust execution has prompted at least one megachurch network of campuses to omit references to “Calvary” or the “blood of Jesus” from its Easter invitations to non-Christians who may attend — I would say, “Resurrection Sunday,” but they also avoid mentioning the resurrection.
SDG Trifecta? Education, Healthcare & Vaccinations

Author’s Note: Today’s article is not to state what you should do when it comes to the choices you make for your family. I am passing on vital information about schools being used, one more time, to overreach into those decisions, especially when it comes to vaccination. Regardless where you live, your family’s freedom to decide should be yours, and yours alone. Not coerced by a system which cares little to nothing about your family. - LMT
