Eleven people were shot, one fatally, at a party early Father’s Day morning in Democrat-run St. Louis, Missouri. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that the party was being held on a fifth-floor loft in downtown, and police arrived on the scene to find multiple firearms and “multiple types of shell casings” spread about. The deceased individual was identified as 17-year-old Makao Moore.

From the FReeper Canteen...Happy Father’s Day 2023!!

Many are wondering, today, what in the world has happened to our country? Lawlessness abounds, there is no justice to be found, deception is rampant, and the “pandemic” of delusion continues to morph into even greater variations of abominations.

While millions of Americans were busy celebrating Mom on Sunday, taking her out to dinner and showering her with flower bouquets and macaroni picture frames, at least one person over on social media was lamenting the fact that he – she? It? – was left feeling rather unspecial. Because after all, when it comes to the trans community, it is all about making them feel included, even to the point of inconveniencing or outright excluding everyone else. “There’s two different days in the year that I question,” a biological man with green hair and a baritone voice says in a...

CHICAGO -- Chicago weekend shootings have left at least 61 shot, 10 fatally, police said. Many of the shooting victims were wounded on the South and West sides. Last weekend, 31 people were shot, six fatally.

Happy Fathers Day, to all the dads that don't shower with their daughters.

Every year on Father’s Day, we honor the men who help shape our character through their love, guidance, and devotion. Dads and father figures across the country sacrifice so much to support their families and to ensure that their children can lead fulfilling lives. I remember my own father, who instilled in me some of the most important values that guide me to this day. He taught me to treat all people with dignity, and that there is no higher calling than to be a good parent. He informed the way that I raised my own children — and how...

From the FReeper Canteen...Happy Father’s Day 2022!!

Eight dads are sharing how abortion has helped them become the fathers they are today, on what experts believe will likely be the last Father's Day before the Supreme Court issues a ruling that would overturn Roe v Wade. In May, a leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion on the Mississippi 15-week abortion ban indicated the Court is poised to overturn Roe v Wade, the 1971 Supreme Court decision that established the constitutional right to abortion care. The draft is not a formal decision and the court has not ruled on the Mississippi 15-week abortion ban. Abortion is still...

There were more shootings in Chicago over the weekend. The irony of these shootings, in which 52 were shot and 5 died (Chicago Sun-Times Wire, 6/21/21), is the weekend itself….Father’s Day weekend. Some sociologists note that what we’re seeing in large part is quite often the result of fatherlessness in America. Mark J. Perry, a scholar with American Enterprise Institute, put out a chart on March 30, 2021 on fatherlessness in America. He compiled the statistics from the National Center for Health Statistics, and the chart compares the “percentage of U.S. births to unmarried women by race” for the year...

Former President Donald Trump sent a short Father's Day message aimed at his political adversaries on Sunday, blasting them as 'losers'. Trump is banned from Twitter and Facebook had to release the 22 word statement through his political action committee. The message was then retweeted by his supporters. It said: 'Happy Father's Day to all, including the Radical Left, RINOs, and other Losers of the world. 'Hopefully, eventually, everyone will come together!'

My husband and I met in high school. I had a stepfather who took delight in hurting people, once, after stacking two cords of firewood, he told me that I could not eat until I stacked two more. I realized he was trying to break me, to save my life I decided to run away from him so I jumped off a two story balcony and angels softened my landing. I determined that I was going to try and find my dad. In the woods I heard God telling me to go back, that a rescue was coming to save...

How relevant are fathers in the lives of their children? The answer can actually be calculated. According to research from the U.S. Census Bureau, when a child is raised without a father, he or she is four times more likely to live in poverty, seven times more likely to face teen pregnancy and twice as likely to drop out of school. Perhaps even more chilling is what that research reveals as a correlation between fatherlessness and our societal malaise. That same study found that “18.3 million children, 1 in 4, live without a biological, step or adoptive father in the...

People make fun of Hollywood’s idealized family of the 50s.But I would point out that every single episode of every one of those shows taught a life lesson geared to values that - at the time – consisted of a universal moral code: the value of telling the truth, the virtue of hard work, patriotism, what it means to be honorable, why loyalty matters, what personal responsibility consists of. In other words bedrock American values that are often looked down on, snickered at and scorned by today’s cultural elites in Hollywood, education and Washington.Ever since that era Hollywood has been...

Dear American friends, if this 4th of July George Washington, John Adams, Benjamin Rush and the rest of our Founding Fathers were to come back from the grave, they would rebuke and testify against America for her national departure from Almighty God, the laws of nature and of nature's God and our founding principles, The most astounding thing would be upon their return would be that the majority of American’s would NOT have an ear to hear them and would fully reject them outright. It is true that we live in another type of day today; one that abounds with...

The family unit (i.e., Father and Mother) is Almighty God’s design to protect and insulate mankind from the immoral ravishings, which manifest themselves by the violations of the moral absolutes instilled at the beginning of the creation (Gen. 1:1-31, Ex 20:1-17, Mark 10:19, Rom. 13:9, Heb. 13:4). It is a strong family unit that rests and abides on the moral absolutes of time that will keep and preserve society from decadence violence and social breakdown. When these moral absolutes are rejected, the horrific consequences that follow are devastating to the children and nation. In light of Father's Day, godly fathers...
