On Twitter and YouTube, a video of President Joe Biden reading a eulogy to the late politician Bob Dole is circulating – particularly the part at the end of his message where he reads aloud, “And the message said, end of message.” So, what exactly happened? Is this the first time that Biden’s teleprompter instructions have been claimed to be read aloud? Is it true that at the end of his Bob Dole eulogy yesterday, Joe Biden read out “end of message”?

We’re told by pharmaceutical companies, mainstream media, and politicians on both sides of the aisle that adverse reactions to the COVID-19 injections are rare. But anyone with common sense knows that’s a lie. Serious medical complications, such as myocarditis/pericarditis, thrombosis, and neurological disorders, have occurred in COVID-19 injection recipients around the world. Stallone Edmonds Tepania is a 33-year-old registered nurse and mother of 3 in New Zealand. After taking a 2nd dose of the COVID-19 injection, Stallone was diagnosed with pericarditis, inflammation of the sac around the heart. She recently went public on social media to share her story after...

Researchers have shown that new fluoride-free toothpastes with hydroxyapatite can provide equivalent protection to those containing fluoride. Kelsey O'Hagan-Wong, a second-year pediatric dentistry resident, was the first author of a review paper that investigated the efficacy of fluoride-free hydroxyapatite toothpastes on re-mineralizing and therefore repairing teeth. Through her research, she found that hydroxyapatite toothpastes appear to demonstrate either its superiority or equivalency to fluoride toothpaste as anti-caries agents. Typically, fluoride is used in the prevention of dental caries, but due to the decreased acceptance among the public and the risk of fluorosis in children, there is the need for effective...

Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum had a heated debate on Friday’s broadcast of “The Story” with New York Black Lives Matter co-founder Hawk Newsome. Newsome criticized New York Mayor-Elect Eric Adams’s plan to bring back plainclothes police officers to address the rise in crime plaguing the city.

Those who truly know God have learned how to recognize his voice. I believe that three things are required of those who would hear God’s voice: 1. Unshakable confidence that God is wanting to speak to you. You have to be fully persuaded and convinced of this. Indeed, he wants you to know his voice so you can do his will. What God tells you will never go beyond the boundaries of scripture. 2. Quality time and quietness. You need to be willing to shut yourself in with God and let all other voices fall away. True, God speaks to...

“He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross” (Philippians 2:8). Instead of asserting His divine rights, Christ submitted Himself to the cross. Even though the people did not recognize the deity of Christ and treated Him as a criminal, He did not fight back. Instead, He “humbled Himself.” Consider His trial. He said not a word to defend Himself throughout unbelievable humiliation. They mocked Him, punched Him, pulled out His beard—yet He did not say a word. He was silent and accepted man’s abuse through each phase of His phony trial. He...

The Maryland General Assembly convened on December 6 for a special session. The main focus of the special session is the redistricting process that states must complete every decade after the census. However, in addition to redistricting, the legislature voted to override Governor Larry Hogan’s (R) veto of a bill that bans immigration detention and makes Maryland a sanctuary state, as well as one that restricts sharing information with immigration authorities. House Bill (HB) 16, the so-called “Dignity Not Detention Act,” sponsored by Delegate Vaughn Stewart (D-Montgomery County) was initially solely a ban on immigration detention contracts. However, on the...

During an interview with Colorado Public Radio on Thursday released on Friday, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) defended his refusal to reinstitute a state mask mandate by saying that the coronavirus “emergency is over” and state public health officials don’t “get to tell people what to wear.” Polis also argued that because vaccines have been available for a long time, “People who want to be protected are.” And that “If you haven’t been vaccinated, that’s your choice. I respect that. But it’s your fault when you’re in the hospital with COVID.”

ATTN Tennessee FReepers: I've read through the anti-mask mandate bill that Gov. Lee signed into law back in November. If a store/business breaks this law, what's the punishment? Is there one? The place I work in Shelby county is still mandating we wear masks. Thank you for your help.

Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years. And he wrought evil in the sight of the Lord; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made. Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom. ( 2 Kings 3:1-4)The next King of Israel, Jehoram, was also a Son of Ahab, having succeeded his brother. He was evil...
