    Grandma took Grandson to school this morning and found out that it's a Teacher in Service Day (that's what it was called back in My days in school anyway) so they returned home. This is the 2nd time that this has happened. I asked why don't they put this information on the Monthly Calendar so We know about it. Grandma said that they expect someone to check the School Website to find out. So I asked what was the site Name and I will check for this since I'm online a LOT. When I got to the site it was...
  • Democrats: Americans have 'too much freedom'

    American Thinker ^ | 9 Oct, 2023 | Noel S. Williams
    An old adage is that “the truth will set you free.” Well, many of today’s demented Dems are not particularly fond of the truth or freedom. Indeed, a recent poll released by RealClearPolitics shows that over one-third of Dems believe Americans have “too much freedom.” Maybe criminals have too much, but not law-abiding citizens. Dems "defund police policies" and criminal coddling are producing consequences reminiscent of the movie The Purge. Criminal activity therefore becomes legal, producing a dystopian society where Hobbesian motifs prevail: life outside society is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short. Not too different from some dysfunctional Dem-run...

    In the early seventies Shiekh Ahmed Yassin started the Organization Mujama Al Islamiya which helped establish the Islamic University in Gaza, hospitals and schools. Just like the United States was funding the Taliban to fight in Afghanistan against the Soviets to bring down the communists so too was Israel selling Arms to Iran to fight their archenemy Iraq during the early eighties.Islamic fundamentalism was not seen as a threat to world peace, instead it was Marxists terrorists around the world who were seen as a threat so Muslim extremists were seen as natural allies against G-dless communists.

    Pray For The Peace of JerusalemJohn 21Jesus and the Miraculous Catch of Fish 21 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee.[a] It happened this way: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus[b]), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. 3 “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. 4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not...

    It cannot exist in a world where individual freedom, free enterprise, and human rights are respected. Know your enemy is the first principle of an intelligence professional and is the foundation of all strategy. Knowing your enemy requires not just tracking of military movements, which is essential, but first and foremost demands the grasping of the ideological motivations of its actions. Accordingly, the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) aggression against the Philippines at Second Thomas Shoal, what is indisputability Filipino territory; against India on the shared border; against Japan in the East China Sea, or the raw exploitation of people...

    Tucker Carlson, one of Fox News' biggest boosters of President Donald Trump, made an impassioned case against the airstrike that killed Iran’s top military leader, blasting Washington for ignoring "the big picture." During his Friday night show, "Tucker Carlson Tonight," the host decried the escalation of tensions with Iran sparked by the killing of Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani. "No one in Washington is in the mood for big-picture questions right now," he lamented. "Questions like: Is Iran really the greatest threat we face?

    "Concerning you, my brethren, I myself also am convinced that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able also to admonish one another" (Rom. 15:14). Scripture is the source of godly counsel. In recent years the question of who is competent to counsel has become an important issue in the church. Many pastors and other church leaders have curtailed their counseling ministries or stopped them altogether. They've been made to feel inadequate for not having formal training in psychological counseling techniques. Behind this movement away from pastoral counseling is the subtle implication that the Holy Spirit...

    The Florida Attorney General, Ashley Moody, has issued an opinion clarifying that the Florida legal definition of a “short-barreled rifle” does not include a pistol to which a stabilizing brace has been attached, even if the stabilizing brace is used as a stock. From myfloridalegal.com: Unless and until judicially or legislatively clarified, I conclude that the definition of “short-barreled rifle,” which the Legislature enacted in 1969, does not include a handgun, such as a pistol, to which a person attaches a stabilizing brace, because the use of a such an optional accessory does not change the fundamental characteristics of the...

    The Hamas invasion was designed to shock Israelis through their pre-civilizational desecration of the bodies of the dead. There have been plenty of terrorist attacks on Israel. A dozen or so conventional wars of various magnitude have been waged against the Jewish state. And more often there have been mixtures of both. Yet never have hundreds of gangs of black-clad murderers carefully planned to swarm Israel, with an agenda to pull random Jews out of their homes and off the street, murder them, and toss their bodies in the street. In fact, the closest parallel to the sort of methods...

    I want to check the temperature of the room here... I'm seeing a LOT of conservatives on social media saying the war in the Middle East is not our problem. As an anti-war conservative I completely agree however it's surprising to see this sentiment among so many mainstream conservatives?! We're used to being in the minority on these issues. While supportive of Israel and absolutely condemning the horrific attacks and hostage taking that we've witnessed it appears many Americans are sick and tired of the foreign interventions. Only the Neocons on social media are demanding U.S involvement. In fact I...

    Having graduated from an American private university just a few months ago, I know all too well the challenge my generation faces with rising tuition. While there are a number of factors contributing to these behemoth cost increases, one that is often ignored by left-wing voices is the continual push to “cancel” or “erase” student debt. As anyone with a basic understanding of economics knows, debt is not an arbitrary instrument that can simply be “erased.” Despite the protests of my more liberal classmates, it is not “imaginary negative money”—an intangible that can simply be disregarded. It is important to...

    Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has said that his country was moving steadily closer to normalising relations with Israel, following similar moves from other Gulf countries, and amid a big push by the United States for a Saudi-Israeli deal. “Every day, we get closer,” the crown prince told US broadcaster Fox News, according to excerpts seen by Reuters of an interview scheduled to air later on Wednesday. The interview with the crown prince, widely known as MBS, came as US President Joe Biden’s administration presses ahead with an effort to broker historic ties between the two countries...

    Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said he thinks former White House chief medial adviser Anthony Fauci deserves jail time. “And do you believe that Anthony Fauci belongs in jail?” Fox News host Sean Hannity asked Paul. “Without question,” the senator responded. Paul has a fiery history with Fauci, brimming from disagreements around the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic to vaccinations. He has also argued that the former infectious diseases doctor lied to Congress by flip-flopping on where the COVID virus began in public and in private. “We now have proof in Anthony Fauci’s own words, we have his emails,” Paul said...
