He will not have to fast for the tests, a good help. O thank you so very very much again, my Dear Beloved FRiends in Christ Jesus!

President Biden’s reelection campaign thanked former President Trump on Monday for “lifting up” strong news on the economy after Trump claimed credit for the record-high stock market. Ammar Moussa, spokesperson for Biden’s campaign, criticized Trump’s comments from earlier Monday and reminded him that Biden is in the White House, in a statement first shared with The Hill. “Thank you Donald for lifting up today’s strong economic news, but on this planet, Joe Biden is the president, and is the one whose policies are helping achieve historic GDP growth, a stronger than ever stock market, and real job creation after Trump...

Newly elected Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) thanked former President Donald Trump for his ardent support in the speaker’s race moments after he secured the post in the fifteenth vote. “I do want to especially thank President Trump,” McCarthy told reporters. “I don’t think anybody should doubt his influence. He was with me from the beginning”: McCarthy mentioned that Trump made multiple calls to other members in support. “Somebody wrote the doubt of whether he was there, and he was all in. He would call me, and he would call others. And he really was. I was just...

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has personally thanked U.S. President Joe Biden for supplying Kyiv with another “security aid package” worth $725 million. “Sincerely grateful to [the President of the United States and] the [American] people for providing another $725 mln security aid package,” the Ukrainian head of state said in a message posted on the Twitter microblogging site. “We will receive, in particular, much-needed rounds for HIMARS and artillery,” he added.

CORRECTION: Ukraine has not yet received the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS). A previous version of this story contained incorrect information on the delivery of the system due to errors in the CBS transcript of its interview with Zelensky. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is thanking the United States for the advanced air defense systems it has sent to his country to aid in its war with Russia, but he also is pressing for more, according to an interview aired Sunday. Zelensky on CBS’s “Face the Nation” thanked Washington for the shipments of High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems and other...

So it’s refreshing when a pro athlete like Green Bay Packer quarterback Aaron Rodgers unabashedly states, “I’m an athlete. I’m not an activist.” Rodgers, a Super Bowl winner, three-time Most Valuable Player in the National Football League, and nine-time Pro Bowl selectee, is generally considered one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. He has also become a polarizing, controversial figure and a target of the totalitarian left precisely because he doesn’t conform to the woke expectations of our heavily-politicized culture. Last November, Rodgers triggered the left-dominated media after making statements that did not align with the acceptable narrative about...

At various times over the last four years, I've wished I could communicate directly with President Trump to express my gratitude. Then it occurred to me: I have this column as a platform. While I have no hope he will actually see this editorial, I would like to submit an open letter to the president.(See comment for the letter. Thanks Patrice.)

Some of us will make practically no adjustment to their usual celebrations. For example, I saw one report that 56% of Americans are planning on traveling for Thanksgiving. That’s likely fewer than in a typical year, but it’s still a lot of people on the road, visiting others and sometimes staying in hotels or vacation rentals. Despite the numbers, and despite the warnings of some government officials that they may institute another lockdown, it’s pretty clear that Americans as a whole are pretty tired of lockdowns; and many just won’t go along any longer. We see evidence of this every...

A humble observation about the “thanks for your service” greeting. This Veterans Day I’ve found myself responding to the many “thanks for your service” statements. After responding countless times, I decided to crunch the gist of my many replies into a single statement wherein I attempt to describe what drives vets to become vets and who truly should be thanked.

State. Rep. Vernon Jones, the black Georgia Democrat who’s become a vocal Trump supporter, has inspired at least one other Democratic state lawmaker to publicly support the president’s re-election. On Tuesday, Bernadine Kennedy Kent, a black state representative from Ohio, said she was following in his footsteps. “From my perspective as a lawmaker who was elected for the first time in 2016, following a lifetime as an educator and child advocate, I have admired President Trump’s dedication to law and order and his respect for our Constitution. His strong leadership and willingness to fight for educational and economic empowerment for...

Domino’s Pizza donated $110 million to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, making it the largest donation the hospital has seen in its history. Domino’s and its franchisees have pledged to raise the money over the next ten years. The money will go towards 140 apartments St. Jude is developing on its Memphis campus for families of children who are receiving treatment, and the facility will be called “The Domino’s Village” to honor the company’s gift, WATE reported. “The Domino’s Village will provide a home-away-from-home for the thousands of kids and families who come to St. Jude from around the world,”...

Black Lives Matter protestors – many of whom are young white people – gathered again in Austin, Texas, blocking streets and ongoing traffic. A black man in a truck pulled over and chided the protestors for blocking the road. "Guys, move! Aye, look. I understand the [inaudible] and I appreciate it but I gotta go to work!" he shouted at the crowd as he approached them. "I'm black. I gotta go to work. I got bills. I got kids. Get the f*** out my way!" he yelled as he headed back to his car. "I’m about to air this b****...

D.C. resident Nestride Yumga, along with fellow community members, delivered food to local police officers on Saturday in a show of support for officers, rejecting the anti-cop narrative touted by Black Lives Matter activists. Yumga, an American citizen originally from Africa, said she delivered food to officers because “our police department needs us now more than ever.” “These are brave men and women who took the oath, they took the badge to serve the community and they’re doing just that,” she told Breitbart News. “These are heroes. When we call them at three in the morning, they show up. …...

American laborers sacrificing to work a nearly month-long shift were finally able to clock out Monday. Braskem America in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, has been in operation round-the-clock for at least 28 days, manufacturing raw materials needed for the production of N95 masks, hospital gowns and sanitary wipes put in short supply by the ongoing pandemic. Of course, a manufacturing effort of that magnitude requires manpower and, according to WPVI-TV, 40 Braskem staff members have shouldered the responsibility, volunteering to live at the facility for four weeks straight in order to keep production moving.

Last summer I posted about my prostate cancer predicament. Opted for radical prostatectomy (robotic) and found a good surgeon in the North Dallas/Irving area. Three month follow up PSA: 0.04, just below “undetectable” Six month follow up PSA: >0.02, lower limit of “undetectable” Praise God! I was really having a hard year because of this. Now almost completely continent, and “It” is coming back :) Thanks to FReepers who’ve been praying and counseling me on this trial.

impeachment was a disgrace

essentially a gun porn vanity, but it's a good review of how to use a scoped rifle to actually hit what you want to.

Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, who was wounded in the Saturday shooting at Chabad of Poway Synagogue in California, accepted the White House’s invitation to Washington, D.C., for the National Day of Prayer. Oscar Stewart, the combat veteran who confronted the shooter and forced him to flee, and another source close to the rabbi confirmed to The Daily Caller News Foundation that Yisroel accepted the invitation and will be traveling to D.C. on Thursday.

The man who fired a semi-automatic weapon inside the Chabad of Poway synagogue in San Diego on Saturday froze, dropped his gun and sprinted to his car when he saw Oscar Stewart come barreling toward him, yelling so loud the priest at a neighboring church could hear. Stewart, 51, told The Daily Caller on Sunday he doesn’t remember any conscious thought from the moment he heard the gun shots until it was all over — he just acted on instinct to stop the shooter and prevent him from leaving so he couldn’t hurt more people somewhere else. The Iraq combat...
