America Prayer Vigil ~ Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for our President and Vice-President-Elect and for America: Government, Family, Military, Business, Education, Churches, and the Media. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. I John 5:14 Religion forum threads labeled “Prayer” are closed to debate of any kind. The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I proclaim Good News to you, which will be great joy to all the people. For today, in the city of David, the Savior has been...

So the little snowflakes had, once again, their hopes crushed yesterday. Poor babies. Of course, this will not help them accept the results of the election any more than the actual results on the 8th. I have no illusions that they will now sit down and shut up. But the question is: what are the next steps? My guess: our little SJW snowflakes will pressure their Dhimmicratic representatives to question the validity of the electoral college results. Reject the certificates provided by the states and demand a recount or, alternatively, demand that the questionable certificates are thrown out. At the...

Satellite broadband firm OneWeb on Dec 19 announced a US$1.2bil (RM5.37bil) funding round led by SoftBank, the first concrete investment from the Japanese group which made a pledge to President-elect Donald Trump. SoftBank, which is providing US$1bil (RM4.47bil) of the funding for the project aimed at providing global internet access via satellite, made the announcement just two weeks after its chief executive Masayoshi Son met Trump and pledged to invest US$50bil (RM223.97bil) in the US economy and create 50,000 jobs. ”Earlier this month I met with President-elect Trump and shared my commitment to investing and creating jobs in the US,”...

Cramer explains Trump's behavior towards China: He thinks we're already in a trade war! Cramer explains Trump's behavior towards China: He thinks we're already in a trade war! 11 Hours Ago | 03:02 Jim Cramer explained President-elect Donald Trump's behavior towards China by clarifying that he does not want a trade war. "It is that he believes we are already in a trade war, one that the Chinese are waging against us. And it's not that he wants to retaliate — it's that he wants to win," the "Mad Money" host said. Trump believes that the Chinese have had their...

Reactions to the violent Monday evening attack on a Berlin Christmas market that left 12 dead and 48 injured will be closely watched for their potential to affect next year's crucial elections in Germany. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is the current favourite as she prepares to run for a fourth term in next year's elections yet faces mounting opposition from anti-immigration populist political groups and parties, such as the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) and Pegida. Success in local elections this year indicate AfD is in a position to feasibly pick up sufficient votes to secure seats in Germany's national...

Bill Clinton cast his electoral vote for his wife, Hillary Clinton, in Albany, New York, on Monday, telling reporters afterward what a memorable experience it was. “I’ve never cast a vote I was prouder of,” a teary-eyed Clinton said. The former president, a Democratic member of the Electoral College for the state of New York, praised his wife for her perseverance through a complicated and hard-fought campaign. “You know, I watched her work for two years, I watched her battle through that bogus email deal,” Clinton said. “She fought through everything and she prevailed against it all.”(continued)

Former President and one-time would-be “First Man” Bill Clinton placed the blame for his wife Hillary’s loss in the recent US presidential election squarely on FBI Director James Comey - and “angry, white men.” According to Politico, Bill Clinton, responding at a spontaneous question-and-answer session at a New York bookstore to the question of whether President-elect Trump was smart, replied that “he doesn’t know much.” However, “one thing he does know is how to get angry, white men to vote for him.” Analysis of election results has shown that blue-collar and middle class white men voted for Trump in large...

LifeSiteNews‘ Lisa Bourne conducted an exclusive interview with Cardinal Raymond Burke in which she asked about the a timeline for the promised formal correction in the absence of a response from Pope Francis on the dubia related to Amoris Laetitia. Burke responded: “The dubia have to have a response because they have to do with the very foundations of the moral life and of the Church’s constant teaching with regard to good and evil, with regard to various sacred realities like marriage and Holy Communion and so forth,” Burke said during a telephone interview.“Now of course we are in the last days, days...

<p>He grasped that what voters cared about were the very issues politicos were disdainfully ignoring.</p> <p>The American middle classes, the Chinese, and Vladimir Putin have never been convinced that Ivy League degrees, vast Washington experience, and cultural sophistication necessarily translate into national wisdom. Trump instead relies more on instinct and operates from cunning — and we will soon see whether we should redefine “wisdom.” But for now, for example, we have never heard a presidential candidate say such a thing as “We love our miners” — not “we like” miners, but “we love” them. And not just any miners, but “our” miners, as if, like “our vets,” the working people of our moribund economic regions were unique and exceptional people, neither clingers nor irredeemables. In Trump’s gut formulation, miners certainly did not deserve “to be put out of business” by Hillary Clinton, as if they were little more than the necessary casualties of the war against global warming. For Trump, miners were not the human equivalent of the 4,200 bald eagles that the Obama administration recently assured the wind turbine industry can be shredded for the greater good of alternate energy and green profiteering.</p>

Samantha Bee and Glenn Beck admit they are “strange bedfellows.” But the liberal “Full Frontal” host and the controversial conservative radio commenter are uniting for a common cause ― the fight against “Trumpism.” In an interview broadcast on Monday, the pair revealed what their respective audiences thought about the other. (Spoiler: It was not positive.) Bee then explained why she was speaking with Beck, who has described Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as “cyanide,” and repeatedly spoken out against president-elect Donald Trump. “I think that our future is going to require a broad coalition of non-partisan decency,” said Bee. “It’s not just individual people...

MOSCOW — Dozens of people in the Siberian city of Irkutsk died after drinking cheap surrogate alcohol over the weekend, evoking memories of the poverty and social depression that came after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The tragedy was a reminder that while President Vladimir V. Putin may be taking a star turn on the world stage — dominating the war in Syria and alarming European and American leaders who fear the Kremlin is undermining democracy — Russia remains in many respects a struggling country. For all his bravado, Mr. Putin continues to wrestle with domestic economic woes, widening...

Well, now what? Sorehead losers, who have thrived in such graceless abundance since Nov. 8, had been telling anyone who would listen, for more than a year, that Donald Trump could never, ever be elected president of the United States.

The Obama administration intends to transfer 17 or 18 of the remaining 59 Guantanamo Bay detainees before the president leaves office, the New York Times reported Monday night. The prisoners will go to Italy, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. If the proposal goes through, Donald Trump would be left to deal with 10 men who were charged or convicted in military commissions, and 27 who were not charged but are deemed to dangerous to release. It is not clear if Trump will refuse to transfer detainees once he takes office. The president-elect has promised to keep Guantanamo...

EW YORK (JTA) – Conservative Rabbi Seymour Rosenbloom has been expelled from the Rabbinical Assembly, the movement’s rabbis’ association, for performing interfaith weddings. An ordained Conservative rabbi for 44 years, Rosenbloom was expelled by unanimous vote last month after a hearing of the R.A.’s Executive Council. Since 1972, the Conservative movement has prohibited its rabbis from officiating at or even attending intermarriages. Rosenbloom told JTA the council offered to retain his membership in exchange for a promise not to perform any more intermarriages. Rosenbloom declined the offer.

This clip was filmed in May of this year in Berlin. The Germans are all mocking Trump. I wonder if those same Berliners feel safe now, after they blindly followed Merkel, and the Berlin terrorist attack that happened yesterday.

Michelle Obama in a candid interview with Oprah Winfrey opened up for the first time publicly about the 2016 presidential campaign, calling it "challenging" for her "as a citizen to watch and experience." The first lady said it was important "for the health of this nation" that she and her husband, President Barack Obama, support President-elect Donald Trump, even though she said some political leaders didn't support her husband's presidency. "So we're going to be there for the next president and do whatever we have to do to make sure that he is successful, because if he succeeds, we all...

It's unthinkable, and it's definitely unspeakable, but women all over the world are coming forward to say it: I regret having my children. Here's the thing about realising that you shouldn't have had kids," says Laura*, 37, a journalist based in Los Angeles. "You can't take the decision back." Laura once believed that she wanted to be a mother. She had little direct experience with children—no siblings young enough to need tending to, no babysitting jobs—and when she and her husband decided to start a family, she wondered if she knew enough about what that meant. "I asked some...
