I can't post the tweet images in here, so you'd have to find those at the site. Prayers. "I hate that this is where we are in this country. I hate that a reprehensible, stomach-turning act like the Charleston shooting ever takes place. I hate the vitriolic responses to it on twitter. And I really, really hate that I have to write something, anything other than: My prayers are with the victim’s families, and America this morning. I also really hate that that statement in and of itself will generate controversy. There was a time in this country where we...

They’re holy terrors. Bands of beggars dressed like Buddhist monks have invaded the High Line and other city parks, demanding upwards of $40 from tourists — and officials are fed up. One High Line visitor handed over $5 last week, but it wasn’t good enough. “He tried to get $20,” she told The Post. Another monk’s zen demeanor dissolved after he got just a buck in exchange for the cheap plastic bracelet he proffered.

There is coming soon a stupendous supernatural event. Some will die because of the chaos it causes. Some will cry out to God because of what it causes them to realize. It really is coming upon the Earth, soon. In 1217 AD a German Rabbi of great devotion, Rabbi Judah ben Samuel, was given a vision from Elijah regarding the city of Jerusalem. It went something like the following, expressed in Jubilee periods of 50 years, not actual Jubilees but periods of fifty year increments. Six Jubilees from 1217 AD and Jerusalem will come under rule by the Turks. [In...

John Dunleavy, the chairman of the New York City St. Patrick’s Day parade, is shopping the parade broadcast rights to other local networks because NBC insisted on the inclusion of a gay marching group in this year’s event, multiple sources tell the Irish Voice. Also, speaking at a parade lunch in April, Dunleavy said gay groups would “have a problem” securing a slot in next year’s line of march. The local NBC affiliate, Channel 4, has aired the Fifth Avenue parade live for several years, but was prepared to end its coverage in 2015 if organizers failed to include a...

Obviously the video provides more context, and there are some funny sketches included, but I've included some transcript below for the FREEPers. :). "Have you seen the pictures? I gotta tell you, I expected to see like a bi-racial looking Hally Berry type thing.. It’s not even close. She looks like a whiter version of the cousin from Arrested Development. If you’re going to fake being black.. why go full Wanda Sykes? At this point and it’s likely to change, the top three hashtags Rachel Dolezal #TransRacial #WrongSkin on twitter have been, for several hours. yet no liberal site is...

Horror film legend Christopher Lee may have played creatures linked to the occult on screen, but he didn’t want to be linked to the occult off screen. […] During a 2011 interview at University College Dublin, Lee was asked about a popular rumor that he owned a vast collection of books on the occult. […] “I have met people who to claimed to be Satanists, who claimed to be involved in black magic,” Lee continued. “I certainly haven’t been involved and I warn all of you—never, never, never—you will not only lose your mind; you’ll lose your soul.” …

My son has been very troubled, as he believes, by the presence and attack of evil spirits. (I am not sure myself what is psychological and what is supernatural.) Next week he is seeing a priest who seems like a calm, rational, measured man, for a deliverance session. The priest does think that my son is afflicted by spirits. My son's anxiety level is higher and he feels like he has come under greater attack. I am asking on his behalf, that you pray for him for the next seven days, until he sees the priest. I also ask that...

Derek Gilbert interviews Mark Musser with regard to his book "Nazi Oaks" that lays down the startling German links between Monism, Social Darwinism, and environmentalism. In the 1800's, Ernst Haeckel, the father of German Social Darwinism and the very man who coined the term "ecology" in 1866, called Social Darwinism, Monism. He called his Darwinian environmentalist politically active group "The Monist League." "Mono" means "one." The point of Monism is there is no transcendental Creator or God Who stands outside of nature or history to govern the world with eternal values. Sometimes, as was the case with Haeckel (and Hitler...

A Conservative Case against Capitalism and Industrialism The purpose of this paper will be a critique of capitalism and industrialization which I would call capitalism’s natural offspring. The very nature of this critique will come from a profoundly Catholic and Conservative perspective. Most people who have criticized capitalism and industrialism have often done so from a left-liberal political perspective and outlook. This can be seen from the writings of individuals such as Marx and Engel, as well as from ideas such as Socialism, Communism, and various other modern liberal ideologies. However in presenting this conservative critique of capitalism and industrialism...

The newest video sketch. Libs are already pissed in the comments section. Jehovah’s witnesses come to my house nearly every saturday. At best, they stay too long trying to convince me of their craziness. At worst, they get offended when I tell them that they’re wrong. Still, let’s put it in context. They’re mildly annoying, but they aren’t trying to kill me. Which is more than I can say for Jihadis. Just what would it be like if Jihadi Witnesses took the same tact? Watch below.

A friend of a woman mourning the loss of her three-year-old wrote in to The 700 Club asking what to tell her friend when asked how a good God would let some ill children live but let her child die. In his infinite wisdom, Robertson said that God can see the big picture of life and probably killed her child before he or she could become Adolf Hitler. Don’t believe me? Don’t think Robertson himself would have the gall to say such a thing to a woman grieving her three-year-old? Here’s the full quote: "As far as God’s concerned, He...

"And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."(2 Thess 2:11-12) "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the...
