Jackie Kennedy Onassis died on this date in 1994. "If you bungle raising your children," she said, "I don't think whatever else you do matters very much." Perhaps humankind's most important children are the nations we have created. Now Joe Biden needs to deal with the debt ceiling crisis in America. Shelly of San Diego.has written: "America, like ancient Rome, will be destroyed from within long before the actual enemy invasions begin. I believe the dissolution of America is inevitable. ................. Since Australia's great wartime Prime minister, John Curtin said, "Australia looks to America." on December 27, 1941, Australia has...

Is the thrill gone from Dogecoin? In the crazy world of Cryptocurrencies, two “coins” stand out: the venerable Bitcoin and Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer’s Dogecoin (aka Dog Coin based on a Shiba Inu dog. After a jolt of popularity, likely related to Elon Musk’s tweets, dogecoin has dropped -46.5% since November 1, 2022 while Bitcoin has gained 34% over the same period. In the highly volatile world of cryptos, XRP is today’s leader at +4.81%. Today’s biggest loser is Polygon at -2.31%. Dogecoin is down almost -1% while Bitcoin is up slightly. With Washington DC completely out of control...

You’ve got to appreciate brand-spankin’ new Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for being so forthright about what he intends to do to his struggling city. Johnson promised at his inauguration on Monday to “build a Chicago that means our economy gets to grow by rerouting the rivers of prosperity to the base of disinvestment,” whatever that means, “So that no one goes thirsty.” What it really means is new and higher taxes, and Johnson’s “progressive” allies, Saqib Bhatti and Gabriela Noa Betancourt, stepped immediately into action, releasing a fiscal blueprint for the city called “First We Get the Money.” The name...

Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Rachael S. Rollins broke federal law when she made false statements under oath to agents confronting her about leaking a non-public U.S. Department of Justice letter... [A]fter federal agents acquired her text messages with the reporter...Rollins admitted to providing the letter... Special Counsel Henry J. Kerner said Rollins' actions are "among the most egregious transgressions of the act that OSC has ever investigated." "Ms. Rollins's abuse of her power within the federal justice system to achieve a political goal epitomizes the type of 'political justice' that Congress intended to prohibit," the 105-page report concludes. "There are no...

Modern Women Are SHOCKED When Men Won't Date Them 🤣 Cue this video at 3:02. On Monday I posted a story and said "this is the stupidest thing I will see all week" and another FReeper said don't underestimate how stupid the human race can be or something like that. well...here it is!! Someone more stupid! A kid, not sure if it's a boy or a girl showing an outfit this person wanted to wear had they been in Pearl Harbor that happened in the 1960's. Yes..the 1960's Spoiler alert..it's not a Naval Costume.

Anheuser-Busch will launch camouflage and motorcycle-themed beer can redesigns for Bud Light and Budweiser as the multinational conglomerate reels from its recent partnership with self-identified transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. One unnamed executive from the company informed the New York Post on Tuesday that the firm will produce a camouflage Bud Light can as part of an initiative that offers educational scholarships to family members of fallen American military service members and first responders. “It’s an aluminum bottle,” the source told the outlet. “I believe it is the only package that will be transitioning, but I am not 100%...

Either the federal government should abide by the U.S. Constitution, or it should go away. Comey: I am the law. Fauci: I am the science. Deep State: We are your democracy. Federal Reserve: We are your freedom. This kind of authoritarianism does not belong in America. When tyrants pervert the law, distort scientific inquiry, abuse their power, and pilfer middle-class savings, they are American in name only. Now that Mr. Durham has gotten around to confirming what most of us have known for nearly seven years — namely, that Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Brennan, Jim Comey, James Clapper, and...

Republican Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna introduced a resolution Wednesday that would remove Democratic California Rep. Adam Schiff from the U.S. House of Representatives. The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the resolution, which cites the Durham Report as the reason the congresswoman believes Schiff should no longer serve in Congress. “Adam Schiff lied to the American people. He used his position on House Intelligence to push a lie that cost American taxpayers millions of dollars and abused the trust placed in him as Chairman. He is a dishonor to the House of Representatives,” Paulina Luna said in a...

VIDEO AT LINK............13 Seconds................. How can the MSM ignore this? They do because they can.....................

EXCLUSIVE — An advocacy nonprofit group behind a campaign demanding Supreme Court "transparency" reforms on financial disclosures is in panic mode over accidentally leaking its own funders to the Washington Examiner. Fix the Court, a charity that spun off in 2021 after being a project of the New Venture Fund, a nonprofit group managed by the liberal dark money behemoth and for-profit company Arabella Advisors, is part of a seemingly coordinated campaign calling for Supreme Court justices to disclose more about their finances. Now, the organization is in disarray after unwittingly providing the Washington Examiner with unredacted copies of its...

U.S. officials are planning for the growing possibility that the Russia-Ukraine war will turn into a frozen conflict that lasts many years — perhaps decades — and joins the ranks of similar lengthy face-offs in the Korean peninsula, South Asia and beyond.The options discussed within the Biden administration for a long-term “freeze” include where to set potential lines that Ukraine and Russia would agree not to cross, but which would not have to be official borders. The discussions — while provisional — have taken place across various U.S. agencies and in the White House.

The last forty years of politics and religion has been focused squarely on the ascendancy of the Religious Right. I must admit that I’ve probably contributed my fair share to that discourse, as well. A motley crew of white evangelicals and traditional Catholics locked arms on some social issues, started voting in large numbers for Republican candidates, and changed American politics forever. But I think that era of religion and politics is rapidly coming to a close. The Religious Right is no longer a primarily religious movement - it’s one about cultural conservativism and nearly blind support for the GOP...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemLuke 8 Jesus Calms the Storm 22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger. 24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. 25 “Where...

President Joe Biden’s reelection team for the 2024 contest will plead with American voters to let him “finish the job” while casting “extreme” Republicans personified by President Donald Trump and supporters of his “Make America Great Again” movement as threats to very core of American political values. Those are just a few of the key points Biden’s campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez offered Thursday on strategy, her first since she took her new job last month, in a memo released to various news sources and obtained by the Associated Press. Rodriguez, a former campaign staffer for then-presidential candidate Kamala Harris,...

This should be the perfect country. And yet it's a total basket case. Warning: Before reading this, one should play this tango. It will set the mood. Argentina is on the verge of economic collapse again...for the umpteenth time. How does Argentina do it? I mean, for quite some time, I have been utterly amazed at how Argentina manages to fall on its face. And it has done so for over a century. On paper, Argentina should be the richest, most productive nation on the planet. – 45 million people in a large country, roughly half the size of the...

This is happened before and I don’t remember how to fix it. All I’m getting is the truncated postings, the short excerpts aren’t there anymore. Anybody know how I switch that back?

The United States Mail Steamship George Washington, from New-Orleans on the 10th inst., arrived at this port yesterday. The transport George Peabody left New-Orleans on the same day. The following important intelligence we find in an Extra of the Era, issued on the day the steamer sailed: "Rear Admiral FARRAGUT, Fleet-Capt. JENKINS, Dr. FOWLKES, Surgeon of the fleet; E.C.

Admiral FARRAGUT and his officers left the flagship Hartford in Red River,...

The twelve apostles included "Bartholomew [Nathanael]" (Matt. 10:3). Prejudice can destroy relationships and prevent people from coming to Christ. Prejudice is an uncalled-for generalization based on feelings of superiority. It is an ugly sin that has fueled hatred and conflicts for centuries, dividing entire nations and bringing untold misery. But prejudice is most damning when it blinds people to God's Word. The prophet Jonah was so prejudiced against the Assyrians, he refused to go to Nineveh to preach to them. Even after God convinced him to obey, he wanted to die because the people of Nineveh had repented and God...

“They shall utter the memory of your great goodness, and shall sing of your righteousness” (Psalm 145:7 NKJV). We cannot deny God’s call to praise him in all his excellencies, but we are especially called to praise him for his goodness. Note that the Psalmist insisted on an abundance of praise in memory of the Father’s goodness; they sang the Hebrew for abundant utterances, “to gush out like water rushing from a fountain.” In Psalm 107:8-9, David wrote, “Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!...
