After spending some time with President @realDonaldTrump today, I am convinced he is more determined than ever to increase stimulus payments to $2000 per person and challenge Section 230 big tech liability protection.

Several states were stolen from President Trump in his landslide 2020 election. Democrats and the media claim it is perfectly normal to lock out GOP observers while you manufacture tens of thousands of votes to overcome a massive Trump win. Trump supporters disagree. But Mitch McConnell does not stand for President Trump and he does not stand with Trump’s voters. Mitch stands with the globalists and the Democrats and he is reportedly reaching out to Tommy Tuberville to warn him about creating a messy situation next week. Wow!

Trump is asking us to show up on Jan 6 in DC to ‘Be There, Will Be Wild!’. I cannot make it. Has anyone heard of any coordinated efforts to rally in our major cities on that date?..As an aside, beforehand, a huge rally should happen in Louisville, Kentucky BEFORE JAN 6 to send a message to McConnell, which is where he lives. Looking for info with this post.

Patrick Byrne joins us today for a passionate conversation about his meeting with the President of the United States. There isn’t a need for many show notes. If there was ever an episode of the show you need to share with your friends and family, this is it.

Well, it definitely appears to be meat of some sort. U.S. Sen. John Cornyn of Texas on Thursday tweeted a photo of his family's holiday meal with the caption, "Brisket family tradition." As Cornyn is the senior senator from Texas, it's no surprise that the tweet set off a big reaction. Brisket's big business in this state, and the meat seen in Cornyn's photo looks a far cry from the kind you'd find in the pit at spots like Franklin and Snow's. For one thing, Cornyn's looks pretty dry. For another, the red stuff on the top — barbecue sauce,...

Christian churches and organizations should join in an alliance to more effectively work to protect African Christians who face severe persecution in many countries, His Eminence Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev) of Volokolamsk said at a conference yesterday. Opening the conference, “On the Situation of Christians in Africa,” the Chairman of the Russian Church’s Department for External Church Relations (DECR), noted that Christians in Nigeria, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Algeria, and other countries currently face especially severe persecution. The Russian Orthodox Church sees the support of these suffering Christians as part of its historical mission, Met. Hilarion said, reports the press service of...

Lahore (Agenzia Fides) - Imran Masih, a 38-year-old Christian from Faisalabad, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for blasphemy, was acquitted on appeal today, December 15, before the Lahore Supreme Court. The court overturned the first instance sentence that sentenced him to life imprisonment in 2010. This is confirmed by the Catholic lawyer Khalil Tahir Sandhu, who defended Imran, like many other Pakistani Christians unjustly accused of blasphemy. "This is good news for justice, for Christians, for the country. We are happy for the positive outcome of the process which, ultimately recognizes freedom for an innocent person. But on the...

There is nothing like Christmas in the Land of the Rising Sun to unleash a collective frenzy of romance What makes Christmas in Japan so unique? Faith has no place in it. Being a secular holiday is not only a time for the usual shopping spree but also a special day for couples to go on a date. A dinner at a luxury French restaurant will be followed by a walk through the “illumination” sites, which are spectacular Christmas lights. They call them the kurisumasu irumineshon, and often in the background, a famous jingle is the Koibito ga Santa kurousu...

The 65-year-old two-time British Open champion, who now lives in the United States, announced the news in an Instagram post containing photos of him in a hospital bed. “This sums it all up.

Watching Tucker right now-he's angry(recorded I'm sure). If trump ends up leaving office-some columnist suggested he move to Tel Aviv. I'll go a step further.

Moves to 6-foot ruleChurches in Los Angeles County will be allowed to re-open for indoor services for the first time in five months under modified Covid-19 safety guidelines announced Saturday. The change in protocol from the county’s department of public health now allows for both indoor and outdoor “faith-based services” provided they follow social distancing and face covering requirements, essentially ending the ban on indoor religious gatherings in place since July 2020. The county said it was updating its guidelines to “align with recent Supreme Court rulings for places of worship,” presumably the Court’s 5-4 ruling last month lifting restrictions...

Stop listening to talk radio and watching TV. They push Fear Porn to keep your eyes on your phone, TV and Computer, as well, your radio or streaming all in their selfish and greedy desire to enrich themselves at the expense of America and their fellow human beings. Fear Porn of the phony PCR test creating "Cases" and we never hear the good news about "Recovery". Both are contrivances anyway. This is how they sell ads by keeping you "Tuned In". Every 15 minutes they profit from givernment PSA’s and they are hurting our country. They use local stations and...

In the past during normal times, to raise money for the federal government, the Treasury would sell government bonds. However, in recent years, they have abandoned any pretense of selling bonds and have instead just printed more money. Which raises the following question)s); 1. If the fedres is just printing money, is the US actually borrowing it? And can we just print more money to pay it back? And the scary thing is that once the government discovers that when it needs more money it can just print it, it eventually does. The problem is runaway inflation which will destroy...

In this season of peace, we cherish the warmth, generosity, and faith that breathe life into our holiday gatherings. The love we share with our family and friends fills our hearts with joy, just as the story of...

The holidays can bring tons of cheer and conversation, but sometimes they can turn sour when the hot-button issues are mentioned. “Holidays are often a special time to catch up with family and friends, but things can turn sour when you and Uncle Joe come to blows around an issue like climate change,” said Virginia Tech Assistant Professor Todd Schenk. But instead of avoiding it, Schenk says you should engage in productive dialogue. “It is typically healthier to find ways to have more respectful dialogue, and we can often learn in the process,” said Schenk. For those willing to dive...

Today is born of the Virgin him who holds all creation in the hollow of his hand. He whose essence is untouchable is wrapped in swaddling clothes as a babe. The God who from of old established the heavens lies in a manger. He who showered the people with manna in the wilderness, feeds on milk from the breasts. And the bridegroom of the Church calls the Magi. And the Son of the Virgin accepts gifts from them. We venerate thy Nativity, O Christ. —Verses from the Royal Hours, Christmas Eve, Eastern Orthodox Church

An Illinois woman says she found a COVID-19 test swab at the bottom of a package from Kohl’s. Andrea Ellis of East Moline ordered garden flags online as a Christmas gift for her grandmother, but she says at the bottom of the yellow padded envelope she found the swab, which belonged to a woman in Virginia. Through the clear bag, Ellis could see the patient’s testing information, so she contacted her and made some other calls. “Calling the health department, calling non-emergency, talking to some nurse friends or doctor friends, reaching out to anyone I thought could maybe have something...

The Republican Party has stabbed their constituents in the back. Michigan state senate majority leader Mike Shirkey (R-Clarklake) is clearing Dominion voting systems of any wrongdoing in the 2020 presidential election, despite a recent forensic audit that may indicate otherwise. Bridge Michigan reporter Jonathan Oosting made the announcement of Shirkey’s latest betrayal in a Twitter post: Shirkey’s claim that Dominion did nothing wrong comes shortly after a forensic audit of Dominion computers in Antrim County, Mich. reportedly outlined many troubling irregularities. Dominion disputes the validity of the report. Big League Politics reported last week that the Dominion audit in Antrim...
