pinging to check in later. Believe I will skip what the ‘Bamster has to say. Probably just call for more gun control.

The New York Post has updated and never changed their claim that there were 12 dead. I kept seeing 2 on all the news channels. Haven’t read through threads but have been reading headlines and jumping around news sites.

A 20yr old Saudi suspect is being held under guard at a ‘hospital’.
On CNN, Peter Bergen stated that the terrorist bombings in Boston was “likely right-wing” extremists. Disgusting jerk!

I don’t suppose he will admit that his administration dropped the ball by focusing on conservative, Caucasian, Christian males who own firearms, especially those “unstable” veterans? So far we’ve paid a small price compared to what the Clinton administration’s misdirection of focus cost us on 9/11, but I doubt that give any comfort to the victims and their families.

Prayers Up for all of the victims and their family members.

I just heard a police officer confirm on the Boston police radio that they arrested some one a while ago.

POTUS already used the phrase “we should not jump to conclusions”. How sadly predictable.

Possessing the breastplate of the Urim and Thummim seems to give its wearer all kinds of power. Funny how it only seems to end up in the hands of evil d-bags.

When he has to answer to God about this little issue, I think he might wish for Satan as his attorney but either way, someone has to take the lake of fire turnoff coming up so they can experience its soothing 6000 degree water. I think its mineral content might help with the old arthritis.

Thank you for the ping milford421.

I believe there is another press conference in the morning.

[milford421]

You’re welcome and thank you.

...and can easily use them as the recipient of their anger...

 Many people find it difficult to deny Jesus existed, so they throw in the good old classic question,

the inevitable comment, the predictable attack on Christianity that runs along the line of why would a God

who is all-good, all-knowing, and all-powerful allow bad things to happen to good people?

Why can't a Living Prophet® EVER seem to 'prophecy' this kind of thing?

Why do 'physics' NEVER warn the public of these things?

WHY doesn't FR know what I wanted to type??

Psychics

[MinuteGal]

The "press conferences" are hardly worth tuning in on.

They boil down to officials giving non-answers to questions you can't hear.

Why bother. You get more fresh news from FR.
