There were several top moments – some highlights, some lowlights – for President Trump and Joe Biden during this week’s presidential debate. By now, you’ve probably heard that Tuesday’s debate has been described by CNN host Dana Bash as a “s***show.” That is due in large part to moderator Chris Wallace being unable to control the crosstalk and interruptions from both candidates. The media are focusing on the negatives from President Trump’s debate performance, but we’re going to focus on the positives. Why? Because there were several top moments from the President that are expected to go almost entirely ignored...

President Donald Trump has several strikes against him — age, obesity, elevated cholesterol and being male — that could put him at greater risk of becoming seriously ill from the coronavirus infection he disclosed late Thursday. Trump and first lady Melania Trump, who also tested positive, “are both well at this time” and plan to remain at the White House while recovering and being closely monitored, according to a statement from his physician, Dr. Sean Conley. A White House official said Friday that Trump was having mild symptoms.

At 1:00 A.M. on Friday, President Trump notified the world that he and Melania have tested positive for Wuhan virus.  All decent people should hope he recovers quickly because he is a fellow human being and because he is the president of the United States of America.  The left, however, has massive cohort of indecent people.  Within minutes of Trump's announcement, leftists, many of whom are clearly Biden-supporters, went on the ugliest Twitter rampage I've ever seen. Here's President Trump's tweet announcing his diagnosis: Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We...

Patrick Rooney, Founder of Old School™, discusses President Trump's announcement that he and First Lady Melania have tested positive for COVID-19, how it will be used to try to finally "get" Trump, and how I believe they will fail once again! Prayers up for President Trump and First Lady Melania!

The U.S. economy added 661,000 jobs in September and the unemployment rate fell to 7.9 percent, indicating that the economy continued to add jobs even as coronavirus infections rose across many states. Economists had forecast an addition of around 800,0000 jobs and a decline in the unemployment rate to 8.2 percent from 8.4 percent last month. So Friday’s figures missed on job creation but beat on the unemployment rate.

President Donald Trump stunned the entire world late Thursday night when he announced that he and First Lady Melania Trump had contracted COVID-19. Almost immediately, reactions began to pour in from NBA players.

Trump Gets Another Election Year Curveball... I keep telling people not to ask what else can go wrong this year but people seem not to be taking my advice. Twenty-twenty seems to be offended by the question and always has an answer to it that nobody likes. Never tempt the universe. The universe is bored and does not take kindly to being trifled with. The week was already weird enough with the lingering debate madness. That managed to capture the public’s imagination for three whole days, which is an eternity in this interminable year. Well, boys and girls, it looks...

Democratic Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot fired back at President Trump on Tuesday night after he skewered her city as a hotbed of crime and violence during a presidential campaign debate against Joe Biden. The Windy City had 58 shootings and eight deaths during a single recent weekend, the president argued.

The Truth About America Trump is right: only patriotic American history can heal our deep wounds. This week we reprinted a series of speeches given at the White House Conference on American History. As we noted, the conference was the first of its kind. On the one hand, it’s remarkable no one in power ever thought to host such a thing. On the other, it’s possible no one has ever needed one quite so much as we do now.President Trump and his distinguished guests—among them several affiliates, friends, and one current board member of the Claremont Institute—defended things it would...

Your Excellencies, I understand the policies expressed by the Church in regards to not taking partisan positions in elections. However, standing against evil isn’t a partisan position. It only seems to be a political statement when evil is sponsored by a political party—but that is even more dangerous. We don’t inject the Church into politics, the politicians have injected themselves into issues of life and death. We would be derelict to not respond. Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship: 58. The Church is involved in the political process but is not partisan. The Church cannot champion any candidate or party. Our...

This is the modern day Democrat Party. They want you dead. Former Barack Obama staffer and Hillary Clinton national spokeswoman Zara Rahim tweeted out “I hope he dies” after news broke that President Trump came down with coronavirus.

President Donald Trump on Thursday tweeted that he would reverse a Navy decision that changed the Navy SEAL ethos and Special Warface Combatant-craft Crewman (SWCC) creed to be gender neutral, after American Military News exclusively reported the changes Monday. Trump tweeted, “I will be overturning this ridiculous order immediately!” linking to a tweet referencing the original American Military News story. The changes to the Navy SEAL Ethos removed terms like “man,” while the SWCC creed was similarly changed, with a reference to the elite Navy boat unit as a “brotherhood” being changed to a “group of maritime warriors.” Naval Special...

Self evident but also may help others in the future. The intent here is to tell my fellow Florida Freepers that they can get an email link to their SPECIFIC (by precinct) Ballot by an email request to their County's Supervisor of Elections. Makes researching on Judges and local offices much easier!

Viruses jumping from animals to humans have been the starting point of numerous outbreaks, from Ebola to Zika. Given the similarity of SARS-CoV-2 to coronaviruses found in bats, this probably marked the beginning of COVID-19 too. We know that viruses have passed from animals to humans throughout history, and will continue to do so. But the factors that influence the geographical origin of these events is less clear, despite being highly important. Knowing where they occur can help us understand the factors behind a virus crossing species, in particular, by looking at the traits of viruses circulating in the ecosystem...

Researchers build circuit that harnessed the atomic motion of graphene to generate an electrical current that could lead to a chip to replace batteries. ============================================================================ A team of University of Arkansas physicists has successfully developed a circuit capable of capturing graphene’s thermal motion and converting it into an electrical current. “An energy-harvesting circuit based on graphene could be incorporated into a chip to provide clean, limitless, low-voltage power for small devices or sensors,” said Paul Thibado, professor of physics and lead researcher in the discovery. The findings, published in the journal Physical Review E, are proof of a theory the...

It will be the ravishing of the nation of Israel under the anti Christ, climaxing with the global bloodbath of Armageddon at Messiah's glorious return in which Jesus Messiah will obliterate the global armies of the Anti Christ which will finally bring about a TRUE and EVERLASTING PEACE to Jerusalem (the City of Peace), to the nation of Israel and to the world (Dan. 2:44, 7:13-27, Zech. 12:4,14:2-4, Rev. 19:11-21)! It will be the ravishing of Israel under the anti Christ, climaxing with the global bloodbath of Armageddon at Messiah's glorious return that will finally bring about a TRUE and...

President Trump experiencing "mild symptoms" after he and first lady test positive for COVID-19President Donald Trump is experiencing “mild symptoms” of COVID-19 after revealing Friday that he and first lady Melania Trump have tested positive for the coronavirus, a stunning announcement that plunges the country deeper into uncertainty just a month before the presidential election.

Good Hen, Bad Egg? Even a good hen can lay a bad egg. Crisis Magazine, an outlet often featuring solid content, ran a piece the other day that baffled many: Declan Leary’s Yes, Biden Is Catholic. That’s the Problem (here). One of Leary’s central points is that Joe Biden represents the “typical product of the Catholic Church in our nation and our time,” and that this is a shame and a tremendous problem in need of correction. To this, we are inclined to agree. As the author rightly points out, reading any recent US survey stats should be enough...

If a visitor from Mars observed press coverage of President Donald Trump Middle East peace negotiations, he would have heard an amazing tale about Donald Trump’s incompetence and futility of his efforts. The most experienced negotiator, John Kerry, declared in 2016 "There will be no separate peace between Israel and the Arab world…. No. No, no, and no." In April 2016 Harvard Business Review wrote, “The Donald Trump approach to negotiation would be not only ineffective but also disastrous.” In October 2019 The Atlantic posted an article “Trump’s Middle East Policy Is a Fraud.” Infamous for its foresight, especially when...
