Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem (Music in The Bible) Psalms Psalm 125 A song of ascents. 1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,     which cannot be shaken but endures forever. 2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,     so the Lord surrounds his people     both now and forevermore. 3 The scepter of the wicked will not remain     over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the righteous might use     their hands to do evil. 4 Lord, do good to those who are good,     to those who are upright in heart. 5 But those who turn to crooked ways     the Lord...

During a press conference on Friday, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) criticized the federal government’s response to the coronavirus and the “inconsistent” messaging from the federal government. She called on President Trump “to step back and appoint one of our public health officials to be the spokesman” and suggested Dr. Anthony Fauci serve as the spokesperson and give daily briefings on the virus. Collins said, “We are making progress at the federal level, but I am not satisfied with the response. I think that the messaging at the federal level has been inconsistent. And when you’re dealing with a novel virus...

On March 1, the day after the first coronavirus death in the United States was announced, brothers Matt and Noah Colvin set out in a silver SUV to pick up some hand sanitizer. Driving around Chattanooga, Tennessee, they hit a Dollar Tree, then a Walmart, a Staples and a Home Depot. At each store, they cleaned out the shelves. Over the next three days, Noah Colvin took a 1,300-mile road trip across Tennessee and into Kentucky, filling a U-Haul truck with thousands of bottles of hand sanitizer and thousands of packs of antibacterial wipes, mostly from “little hole-in-the-wall dollar stores...

WASHINGTON -- Can science lead to dumb panic? It's a question I've been asking as the stock market cannibalized itself in response to the coronavirus outbreak, academia shuttered classrooms and other interests did their utmost to convince their customers that they could get along just fine without them. There is no question the coronavirus is a health threat to millions of Americans, especially the elderly and people with chronic illnesses. We have to protect them. What's disconcerting, though, is how many enterprises with no reported cases in towns with no community spreading were so fearful that they shut everything down....

This is good intereview with Ted Nugent about Coronvirus and the Deep State.  Every Freeper should love this interview. Enjoy! https://banned.video/watch?id=5e6d37d5310556002ae72717   

Ross Peters, in Wisconsin, has created a hybrid 3D printed functional cartridge revolver, with metal components. It has been demonstrated on Youtube.  The design is an interesting hybrid pepperbox, with rifled barrels. The video gives a good explanation and documentation of this six shot pepperbox. Peters designed the handgun to fire .22 shorts. The barrels for the revolver are made with .22 barrel liner, which is easily available by mail order. One of the reasons to use barrel liner is it is commercially rifled. This meets the requirements for a rifled barrel, to have the firearm classified as a...

I watched the bottom scroll on the television Friday about the area I live virtually shutting down - including Houses of Worship. There was even a news report with a highly known man of faith in the community promoting his ability to broadcast the message online this Sunday. But as I recall, even in the worst of times, Christians came together on the Day of Our Lord and Savior to receive his blessings. From the Bubonic Plague, the to Spanish Flu, to countless wars; Our Fellowship never stopped. My wife had already planned to go with her sister today to...

After years of urging its terrorists to attack major European cities, ISIS is now telling them to steer clear due to the coronavirus. Any sick jihadists already in Europe, however, should stay there — presumably to sicken infidels, according to a ‘sharia’ directive printed in the group’s al-Naba newsletter, the Sunday Times of London reported. The “healthy should not enter the land of the epidemic and the afflicted should not exit from it,” the newsletter advised. The newsletter instructs jihadists that the “plague” is a “torment sent by God on whomsoever He wills.”

In Iran, official estimates of the infection rate and death toll from coronavirus keep accelerating. But even after recording 54 deaths on Tuesday alone, the regime's narrative of the local epidemic is still nowhere near reality. According to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) – a coalition leading the push for a democratic alternative to the clerical regime – more than 3,000 deaths can already be attributed to an outbreak that has encompassed 139 cities across every Iranian province.This information comes from intelligence-gathering by the NCRI’s main constituent group, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK). The MEK maintains an elaborate network...

Wuhan Corona Virus (COVID19) is a legitimate health concern, but it is no cause for panic or irrational hysteria. It is not the 21st Century equivalent of the Black Death.’ At least not in our country, we have state of the art medicine and hospitals as well as a team of doctors that are well trained. But in third world countries, it could be totally different. Especially in the middle-east where Muslim leaders call for their followers to rely solely on God for the treatment of diseases. As the New Arab reported Iraqi cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has been mocked online...

This is yet another act of war. How can anyone seriously think that these “refugees,” fresh from throwing Molotov cocktails at Greek police, will pass peacefully into Europe and become loyal citizens of secular states? In the face of this invasion, however, we have the usual complacency and Leftist idiocy: “Greece has announced that it would not accept any asylum applications for one month. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees criticized their decision.” “Greece: Migrants attack border police with firebombs, Turkish police help,” by Michael Lord, Voice of Europe, March 12, 2020....

LAS VEGAS - Cirque du Soleil, creator of many of the most popular shows in Las Vegas, said Saturday that it is temporarily suspending its productions in the city as well as around the world because of the new coronavirus outbreak. In a statement, the company said it made the decision based on public health authorities calling for people to limit their social interactions to stop the spread of the virus. The shows that will be cancelled effective Sunday are “O” at the Bellagio, “KA” at MGM Grand, “The Beatles LOVE” at the Mirage, “Mystere” at Treasure Island, “Zumanity” at...

Friends on Facebook are demanding that the Federal government (i.e., taxpayers) underwrite unlimited paid sick leave in order to stop the coronavirus plague. This sounds reasonable. We don’t want an infected person coming into work at a restaurant and spreading the infection to 100 customers. But, on the other hand, especially since our testing capabilities are so limited, wouldn’t this result in 100 percent of people with less-than-fun jobs disappearing from the workforce? Why take the risk of contact with hundreds of customers by working as a supermarket cashier when it is easy to say “I am experiencing some coronavirus...

SALT LAKE CITY - As ski resorts across the United States grappled with how to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus without having to close, industry giants Vail Resorts and Alterra Mountain Company decided Saturday they would shutter 49 of North America’s most well-known resorts. Vail Resorts said it would shut down its 34 resorts for at least one week before reassessing while Alterra is closing its 15 until further notice. The Telluride Ski Resort in Colorado and the Aspen Skiing Company announced Saturday night that they will close ski operations, too. The closures marked a sudden change of...

“A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit” (Proverbs 15:4).

NEW YORK - At two gasoline stations in Scarsdale, a wealthy suburb of New York City not far from one of the nation’s worst outbreaks of coronavirus, attendants whiled away the minutes on a rainy Friday morning at what would normally be their busiest time of day. “We’ve had one or two customers - that’s it,” said Julio Barrios as he sat under an umbrella at the full-service Shell station in downtown Scarsdale. “For more than a week, business has been slow.” The coronavirus has infected at least 138,000 people worldwide and killed more than 5,000, rocking the global economy....

My online friend Jeffrey Satinover compared the President to an ultrasonic whistle “that cause all of the vermin to rush frantically out of their hiding holes, and you suddenly realize how infested the place is.” This week’s presser was a masterstroke that exposed the lie of socialism versus capitalism, central power versus federal systems with its diffusion of power and responsibility, and the effects of a dynamic leader versus conventional ones. In the process, we can see how Trump’s fight against open borders, bureaucratic red tape, and globalized production is a critical part of national health and security. Open Borders...

. Now that celebs like Tom Hanks and others reportedly have this so-called “corona virus,” the walking, butt-end of the American public, who thinks Hanks is a real person, might finally grasp what’s being done to them. That is—what’s being done to the public. By the maniac spin-masters who still raven to “get Trump,” at any cost, including poisoning the truth, the “news,” bringing down all of America, wrecking the future, and destroying anybody who seems to be in their way. As a wise woman said to me, “Now they can watch.” Meaning, they can see if Tom Hanks dies...
