“My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life” (Proverbs 6:20-23 KJV).

"...The Democrats and the Deep State have spent the last four years constructing the greatest wag-the-dog spectacle America's ever seen in an attempt to cover up the malfeasance and criminality of the last administration, while preventing the current one from achieving too many victories. Considering that Brennan and Comey are still free and Obama and Hillary are still smiling, they've been remarkably successful...."

"I gave my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes" (Dan. 9:3). The more you understand God’s holiness, the more you’ll recognize your own sinfulness. People view prayer differently. For some it is a last resort after all human options have been exhausted: "All I can do now is pray for you!" Others liken it to a spiritual spare tire—something used only in the event of an emergency. Many who should thrive on prayer have been lulled into complacency by an affluent and godless society. Daniel, however, saw prayer as...

Morning "Ye must be born again." John 3:7 Regeneration is a subject which lies at the very basis of salvation, and we should be very diligent to take heed that we really are "born again," for there are many who fancy they are, who are not. Be assured that the name of a Christian is not the nature of a Christian; and that being born in a Christian land, and being recognized as professing the Christian religion is of no avail whatever, unless there be something more added to it--the being "born again," is a matter so mysterious, that human...

This is the dramatic moment two New Jersey cops pulled a man from a truck moments before it exploded into a fire ball. Trooper Robert Tarleton was conducting an unrelated traffic stop on Monday afternoon on the northbound Interstate 287 in Bridgewater Township when he heard the truck hit a guardrail and become engulfed in flames. Tarleton drove to the scene of the crash, where State Police Lt. Edward Ryer, who was headed home from work, was trying to rescue the driver.

On Wednesday, Xinhua quoted a popular opinion piece circulating on WeChat, China’s ubiquitous social networking app, saying that the West, in particular the United States, “owes China a coronavirus apology” for all the smearing and gloating, and that the rest of Asia and even the entire world would have been embroiled in a far worse contagion had it not been for China’s resolute containment and sacrifice. Xinhua also ridiculed a prayer gathering in Vice-President Mike Pence’s office in the White House at the end of last month. US President Donald Trump has tasked Pence with spearheading the US federal government’s...

"If, then, the courts of justice are to be considered as the bulwarks of a limited Constitution against legislative encroachments, this consideration will afford a strong argument for the permanent tenure of judicial offices," argued Alexander Hamilton in Federalist No. 78. If we ever needed a pristine example of why justices are bestowed lifetime appointments and shielded from the vagaries of the electorate and the intimidation tactics of unethical politicians, Chuck Schumer has now provided us with one. While speaking to pro-abortion protesters in front of the Supreme Court today, the Senate minority leader threatened -- there's no other way...

For Rana Ahmad, doubting the existence of God meant leaving her family behind – and becoming a refugee. When speaking about the arrival of migrants in Europe, people often ask why newcomers keep travelling north, rather than staying in the country where they arrived. For Rana Ahmad, a Syrian woman who fled Saudi Arabia because of her non-religious beliefs, it was Germany’s eminent roster of physicists, from Albert Einstein to Werner Heisenberg, which inspired her to continue journeying through Europe to study physics there. Rana began to doubt her religious convictions when reading science and philosophy books at the age...

The company said Thursday that sales at its stores open for at least one year, a key metric, increased 9.1% during its previous quarter compared with the same period last year. Sales at Costco in February were up 12.4% from a year ago. The company attributed around 3% of that to “an uptick in consumer demand” from concerns over coronavirus. Shoppers have posted pictures on social media in recent days of lines snaking around Costco stores. They have also posted pictures of shelves empty of sanitizers at Costco, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens and other drug stores. Shares of Costco, Walmart, other...

I'd be interesting to know how much money was moved out of stocks around mid-January and by whom. As the economy was humming along and Trump sailing into re-election, the fear-mongering started, and the markets tanked. Whoever is coordinating the hysteria, I am sure is attached to their money. There must be a way to pin-point clusters of large and early withdrawals just prior to January 23.

Time for all good Democrats to hang up, stop drinking, and go home. Because it looks like they want to nominate an old, senile, baby-touching, hair-sniffing, digit-sucking pervert named Joe Biden. That’s actually fine with me in-so-far-as the upcoming 2020 election is concerned. But I am dumbstruck by the choice. Actually, it can’t really be Biden, whom the Masters have chosen. No. Something else is afoot. This, about...

SEOUL -- More foreign governments are moving to restrict entry from coronavirus-hit South Korea, with the tally reaching 81 as of Monday. Infections rose 599 from a day earlier to 4,335, the government announced Monday. Thirty-six countries and regions are barring arrivals from all or part of South Korea, while 45 are requiring such steps as 14-day quarantines, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

A while ago there used to be this thread. Well, I have not seen it for a while. Let's light this candle.

A top animal rights group wants Marines to trade the reptiles and other animals they're eating during an annual jungle training exercise for plants and other vegan survival options.

Men are 65 per cent more likely than women to die from coronavirus, according to statistics. Figures from the World Health Organization and Chinese scientists have revealed that 1.7 per cent of women who catch the virus will die compared to 2.8 per cent of men, even though neither sex is more likely to catch it. More than 98,000 people around the world have now been diagnosed with the virus, which causes a disease called COVID-19, and at least 3,383 have died. Some experts have put the higher risk among men down to higher smoking and drinking rates – both...

U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that it's not the right time to put additional travel restrictions on South Korea over the coronavirus. Trump was asked at a White House press briefing whether he is considering restricting travel to and from South Korea, Italy and other countries affected by COVID-19. "At a right time we may do it," the president said. "Right now it's not the right time, but at a right time." South Korea has seen a rapid increase in the number of coronavirus cases, with nearly 1,200 infections and 12 deaths as of Wednesday. The U.S. State Department...

Federal investigators discovered a loaded gun in the Manhattan jail where financier Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide last year. Investigators with the Bureau of Prisons began searching the facility last week after receiving information that a loaded gun had been smuggled inside the jail, a serious violation of security, according to the Associated Press. The bureau has faced significant pressure to improve its security practices after Epstein, who was facing charges of rape and sex trafficking, was found dead in his cell on Aug. 10. Attorney General William Barr named a new Bureau of Prisons director last week: Michael Carvajal, a...

Mitt Romney became persona non grata in certain parts of the conservative movement last month by becoming the first senator of a president’s own party to ever vote to remove them from office. Romney indicated Thursday that he is skeptical about the need for the Senate Homeland Security Committee to issue a subpoena related to Hunter Biden’s work for Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian energy company. “I would prefer that investigations are done by an independent, nonpolitical body,” Romney told The Post’s Mike DeBonis. “There’s no question the appearance is not good.” Republicans have a 8-to-6 majority, meaning Romney’s vote, when...
