The self-proclaimed love child of Bill Clinton popped up on Twitter over the weekend with a Father's Day message for the former president. 'Even though you abandoned me and only took care of Chelsea, I still want to thank you for giving me life. Happy Father's Day @BillClinton,' wrote Danney Williams on Sunday. 'I'm not looking for sympathy nor welfare, I just wish you didn't forget about me @billclinton. #BillClintonSon #ClintonKid.' Clinton has yet to respond to Williams' messages. Williams has long claimed that his mother Bobbie Ann, a former prostitute, met Clinton in Little Rock, Arkansas back in late...

Danney Williams is tenaciously pursuing a relationship with the man he claims is his father. Williams, who asserts Bill Clinton is his real father and has publicly asked the former president for a paternity test, took to Twitter on Sunday to wish his "dad" Happy Father's Day. [Snip] "Even though you abandoned me and only took care of Chelsea, I still want to thank you for giving me life," Williams wrote. [Snip] About 30 minutes later, he continued, "I'm not looking for sympathy nor welfare, I just wish you didn't forget about me." Then a few hours later, he posted...

Flipping around the channels I found The Cowboys on TV. A great Father's Day movie given how the Duke turned all those young biys to men into that movie. What are some other goid ones?

Exactly 50 years ago today, John's earthly father delivered a sermon on the impact of the 1967 war on the relatively new nation of Israel. John shares a very emotional update, both honoring and echoing the words of his father, the notes of which were providentially uncovered just this weekend from June 18, 1967.

And why?

Husbands Day JENNIFER ROBACK MORSE Father's Day is a day for honoring fathers. But I would like to take a step back and honor men as husbands. In our enlightened, liberated era, we have a tendency to overlook men as husbands, since the father is so often not the husband of the mother. But without some kind of connection between the man and the woman, there is quite literally, no child. I'd like to make the case that the most important thing fathers can do for their children is to love their mother. And likewise, among the many things...

At the 3 minute, 14 second mark in the video, there's a well-done car commercial featuring the ways father's protect their kids. I can't vouch for the rest of the commercials in the video; some are interesting and some are not (e.g., The first video features infidelity) But the one featuring a father protecting his son is worth the watch.

My Dad corrected me. On April 27, he turned 89, not 90. I am extremely grateful that Dad is still mentally sharp, still preaching at his church the second Sunday of every month. As I have grown older, I have come to realize Dad's qualities I took for granted. I am a political activist black conservative. I tour the country with the Conservative Campaign Committee working to elect conservatives in special elections. Dad, on the other hand, is a lifelong Democrat. However, I did convince him to vote for Trump. It has taken years to convince Dad that the Democrats...

My father made me wear hand-me-downs - even though I was our family's only boy, with five sisters. It wasn't too bad most of the year, but Easter Sunday was a bear. You know how hard it is to outrun the neighborhood bully with your panty hose bunching up and your bonnet flopping in the wind? My father was born during the Depression, in 1933, when life was a lot tougher. When he was only 3, his father, who had a good job working for the Mellon family, died at age 34. My father and his sister and mother moved...

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there! To mark the occasion maybe you can take a dad to breakfast at his favorite diner:And if you still haven’t gotten Dad a present yet, may I suggest a tie:Although any tie to Donald Trump these days might be considered collusion. And if you’re still not buying this proof of collusion, maybe you and Dad could just go fishing. You never know what might show up on your hook.Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

Y'can't fake good kids

A Blessed Father's Day to all Dads HAPPY FATHER'S DAY"A Father's Day Prayer"

Happy Father's Day!!

We make a big fuss about mothers in our culture. Think of how often politicians offer sympathy to "heroic" single moms who are doing such an amazing job. Many do, and of course, their lives are extremely hard and they deserve sympathy. As a mother of three sons, I cannot imagine how I would have managed alone. That much having been said, this Father's Day is a good time to remember that fathers are crucial to their children's happiness and success. Here is a small sample of what good husbands/fathers do for their relations: 1) Their wives are healthier, wealthier...

No barbecue is complete without a dad standing at the grill, flipping burger patties and telling dad jokes. That’s why a group of party planners in Spokane, Washington, put an ad on Craigslist seeking just that. “NEEDED: Generic Father for Backyard BBQ,” reads the ad’s title, which was posted to the volunteer page on the Craigslist site for Spokane. A group of men in their 20s who asked to be identified as “The Boys” will be hosting the barbecue, their representative, Dane Anderson, told HuffPost in an email. At least 50 “boys” will be at the event. As their ad...

Britain’s leading provider of abortion services has said that requiring a father’s consent before an abortion is carried out is “not desirable”, and that abortion should be “fully tax-payer funded”. In the run-up to the general election next week the British Pregnancy Advisory Service has been lobbying Parliamentary candidates to sign up to its “My Pledge, Her Choice” campaign, calling on candidates to protect clinic access and funding for British women, oppose “parliamentary attacks” on abortion rights and support further moves to decriminalise abortion. But in response to a UKIP candidate’s offer to support the pledge as long as it...

Barack Obama used his annual Father's Day proclamation to praise transgender “dads,” saying that all “men,” regardless of “gender identity,” play an important role in teaching children “the values that matter most.” “Dads play vital roles in our lives,” the annual proclamation, released last Friday, began. “From single fathers who struggle to make ends meet to surrogates who step up to be there for America's daughters and sons, these men help shoulder the greatest obligation that exists – raising the next generation,” Obama wrote. “Regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status; whether biological, foster, or adoptive; fathers teach...

The man killed in the northern Minnesota storms on Sunday night has been identified as the brother of Congressman Tim Walz. Forty-three-year-old Craig Walz was killed while camping in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. The Cook County Sheriff's Office says Craig Walz and his teenage son were camping at Duncan Lake for Father's Day when the storm began. Powerful winds knocked a tree onto their tent. Craig Walz's son was also severely injured in the incident, taken to a hospital and later airlifted to Duluth. As of 3 p.m. Monday, he is in critical condition. The pair was also camping...
