Senator Mitt Romney (R., Utah) on Thursday unveiled a proposal for a monthly child allowance, in which most parents of children younger than six would receive $350 and parents of kids ages six to 17 would receive $250. Romney’s Family Security Act is similar to a Democratic plan to increase the child tax credit from $2,600 to $3,600 as part of Biden’s coronavirus relief legislation. Democrats want to boost the tax credit, make it “fully refundable” so that lower-income parents qualify, and have the Internal Revenue Service disburse the payments in advance on a monthly basis, essentially creating a child...

.... spoke with Yael Levin-Sheldon, who is a parent who resides in Henrico County, Virginia. She also works as a data analyst and using various contacts she has been able to obtain the health records from her state to see if there is definable evidence of the harm being brought to students. What she has uncovered is rather jarring. Using the Freedom of Information Act Levin Sheldon has been able to look at the charts showing the incidents of suicide attempts and self-harm cases of children in her state, and the data is stark. The motivation behind obtaining this information...

The former head of the CIA Counterterrorism Center has suggested that counterinsurgency tactics used by the military in Iraq and Afghanistan should be applied to ‘domestic extremists’ inside the US. NPR reports that Robert Grenier, who directed the CIA’s Counterterrorism program from 2004 to 2006, declared “We may be witnessing the dawn of a sustained wave of violent insurgency within our own country, perpetrated by our own countrymen.” In an op-ed for The New York Times last week, Grenier suggested that “extremists who seek a social apocalypse … are capable of producing endemic political violence of a sort not seen...

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has come under fire for referring to Sen. Lindsey Graham as “Lady G” in an old tweet that’s being slammed as off base and homophobic. The Aug. 5, 2020 post sparked backlash when it resurfaced this week on Twitter, with several people calling on Psaki to apologize for using the “offensive” and “tone-deaf” phrase. “Only in 2020 does #LadyG get to push a bunch of debunked conspiracy theories while questioning @SallyQYates (aka an American hero),” Psaki tweeted.

OPINION: UW-Madison has me spitting in a cup twice a week, and it feels excessive and even potentially reckless If you approached me last year at this time and told me my school was going to require each of its 45,000 students to spit in a cup twice a week, I simply would not have believed you. Spitting in a cup is, however, exactly what UW-Madison is requiring of each of its 45,000 students this spring semester. A new campuswide COVID testing measure borrowed from the University of Illinois is requiring every single student, including those living off campus, to...

Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding 'mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but,...

Fox News host Tucker Carlson Thursday night revealed Bank of America searched through customer data and provided the data to the feds after the Capitol riot. Bank of America gave data and information to the feds at the request of the US government, without the knowledge or consent of the customers. One innocent Bank of America customer was actually interrogated by the feds and ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing. How is this even legal? Bank of America scanned through customer records to flag the following: Were they in DC between January 5 and January 6 Purchased a hotel stay or...

Over the course of the past week Gab has been deplatformed by one of our banks, a business we were working with to source new server hardware, third-party infrastructure analysis software, and even our accountant. This isn’t anything new for us. We’ve been deplatformed by 25+ service providers including both app stores, PayPal, dozens of payment processors, hosting providers, email services, and more. When this happens I rejoice and praise God because I know that He is working to separate the wheat from the chaff. This deplatforming inevitably reforms Gab into an even more resilient community, business, and platform. We...

The Nebraska priest who told a videographer that he had performed an exorcism at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 said during Mass at his church Sunday that the videographer, whom he called anti-Catholic, had misrepresented his comments through editing. Some former parishioners at St. Michael Catholic Church in Central City who have longstanding concerns about the Rev. David Fulton were further angered, and a representative of the Archdiocese of Omaha said the church was seriously examining the “internal personnel matter.” Fulton delivered his homily after the day’s Bible reading — which happened to be about Jesus expelling unclean spirits...

His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia addressed the gathered hierarchs, clergy, and faithful on February 1, the celebration of the 12th anniversary of his enthronement as the primate of the Russian Church, speaking of the weight of the cross of ministry in Christ’s Church and the apocalyptic nature of the trials of the 21st century. Having celebrated the Divine Liturgy at Moscow’s Christ the Savior, the Patriarch thanked the hierarchs who concelebrated with him on the occasion, “despite the straitened circumstances of our current social life.” The day of his episcopal consecration is the greatest day in...

The Apostle Peter tells us, “For if God…did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah…bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes…making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; and delivered righteous Lot…then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations” (2 Peter 2:4-9). Despite the severity of these examples, God is sending a clear message of comfort to his people, as if to say: “I have just given you two of the greatest examples of my compassion. If, in the...

Washington D.C., Feb 3, 2021 / 01:00 pm MT (CNA).- A federal appeals court on Tuesday allowed an Indiana county to display a nativity scene at its courthouse. A three-judge panel of the Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that a nativity display in front of the Jackson County courthouse is constitutional. The ACLU of Indiana had sued the county in 2018 over the display, on behalf of county resident Rebecca Woodring. She said the display “conveys the county’s endorsement of a religious message.” In their majority opinion on Tuesday, Judges Diane Wood and Amy St. Eve said that...

Tucker: Bank of America secretly turned over customer data to FBI Tucker Carlson Tonight' host warns anyone can be considered a 'domestic extremist'

Dear beloved fellow FReepers, please keep me, my spouse and my parents in your prayers as I had to decide to put to rest one of our kitties. She had 17 years--a rescue, my spouse and my first of many, and not one day went by that this awesome, talkative sweet little silver tabby did not embellish us with such great love, such cuteness in personality, and was there every time for us when anyone ailed of sickness or pain, despite her own physical problems. The Lord put animals here for many reasons, the two I'd like to expound upon...

Early on July 13, 2020, another protest against police brutality in Portland, Oregon, turned into a clash with armed police in riot gear. Multnomah County law enforcement officials claim that during the melee a Seattle man named Jesse Herman Bates fired a small metal ball from a slingshot on his wrist, hitting a nearby firefighter in the chest. (Police say the firefighter was bruised but otherwise OK.) Local police arrested Bates that night, but the county prosecutor ultimately decided not to pursue charges. District Attorney Mike Schmidt declined most of the thousand-plus cases referred to his office from local protests,...

One year ago on the night of Jan. 7, 2020, Americans were shocked to learn that Iran had launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles at U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq. Iran called it “fierce revenge” for the assassination of Gen. Qassem Soleimani. As reports of the attack inundated the airwaves, viewers were left wondering what had happened — and perhaps most importantly — were there casualties? The barrage damaged runways, tents, equipment and a helicopter, and the Pentagon acknowledged that 110 people needed to be treated later for traumatic brain injuries. No one was killed. The remaining U.S....
