Vanity question here, maybe it's been asked elsewhere as well: did President Trump's hair look more white and less colored during the Tucker Interview.

So, how will Freepers be celebrating Earth Day 2017? Personally, I will be clearing an area in the backyard to set up for a compost pile and organic vegetable garden. But first, I need to burn the tires that are there; and I'm thinking that my used motor oil will make an excellent accelerant.

We have all had the opportunity to see various life-saving medical procedures and operations on TV or in a classroom setting. Maybe people that are in favor of Late Term Abortion should watch one too. What's the harm in that?

Pat's Top Ten: Orthodox Catholic Pickup Lines By Patrick Madrid 10. May I offer you a light for that votive candle? 9. Hi there. My buddy and I were wondering if you would settle a dispute we're having. Do you think the word should be pronounced HOMEschooling, or homeSCHOOLing? 8. Sorry, but I couldn't help but noticing how cute you look in that ankle-length, shapeless, plaid jumper. 7. What's a nice girl like you doing at a First Saturday Rosary Cenacle like this? 6. You don't like the culture of death either? Wow! We have so much in common! 5....

Masques of Death By George Neumayr Published 9/2/2005 12:12:28 AM New Orleans has one of the highest murder rates in the country. By mid-August of this year, 192 murders had been committed in New Orleans, "nearly 10 times the national average," reported the Associated Press. Gunfire is so common in New Orleans -- and criminals so fierce -- that when university researchers conducted an experiment last year in which they had cops fire 700 blank rounds in a neighborhood on a random afternoon "no one called to report the gunfire," reported AP. New Orleans was ripe for collapse. Its dangerous...

So, as the "new Priest" in town - I seem to be getting major overtures from the JW's. Admittedly, I've not done a lot of study on them. Can you pass along some on-line source material that will give me an understanding of them? Thanks, Fr. Gerry

We just moved to Colorado from Kalifornia. Any Freepers in Chaffee County?

Time to Act +Thad Barnum Nov 4, 2003 TIME TO ACT The Bible says it clearly: “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? [2 Cor 6:14] We must choose. Now is the time to go before the Lord, prepare our hearts, and ask what course of action is required of us. The House of Bishops in the Anglican Province of Rwanda has done more than issue a statement denouncing the recent actions of the Episcopal Church. We must all do more than sign...

My wife said this past weekend that Algore reminds her of Tonya Harding...he'll have his goons break your shins and then cry in front of the judges when his laces break.

Black Republicans:'Self-loathers' By Bill Maxwell, columnist for the St. Petersburg Times Some creatures are just plain strange, making us do double takes because their compositions or habits or appearances defy our sense of logic and our way of viewing reality. Take the wildebeest, warthog, hyena, brown pelican, the Shar-Pei. These animals, seemingly wrought by committee, make us laugh. Another such creature, of the human kind — and perhaps the strangest of all — is the black Republican. Do not laugh. This is a serious matter, given yet another Alan Keyes run — absurd as it may be — for the ...

Atomic Museum Defends Bomb Earrings By Chris Roberts Associated Press Writer Thursday, August 5, 1999; 10:06 p.m. EDT ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- Tiny silver replicas of the first atomic bombs that are being sold as earrings at the National Atomic Museum are stirring emotions in Japan. ``We're very angry,'' said Naomi Kishimoto of the anti-nuclear group Gensuikyo in Hiroshima, one of the two Japanese cities hit with atomic bombs in World War II. ``It's not the sort of thing you should be hanging from your ears or using to decorate your desk,'' he said. ``It's unforgivable that (the) museum would ...

1517 Wednesday 21 July 1999 Labour MPs to study tighter controls on shotguns By Philip Johnston TOUGHER controls over shotguns and air weapons are to be considered by Parliament in a looming new threat to country sports enthusiasts. As anger grows in the countryside over plans to ban foxhunting, the Commons home affairs select committee is to conduct an inquiry into the laws governing firearms not prohibited after the Dunblane massacre.

Friday July 9 8:15 AM ET Attorney General Mistaken For Cashier WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Janet Reno as the checkout person at the local market? The attorney general drew laughter at the end of her weekly news conference Thursday by recounting how a couple in a small California town mistakenly identified her during a parade over the July 4 holiday weekend. Saturday in Idyllwild, Reno overheard the couple agree she looked familiar. But instead ofrecognizing her as the nation's top legal officer, the wife said of Reno, ``I think she is the checkout person at the local market.''

With the Independence Day just around the corner, I'm wondering who else has a July 4th hero? My late father is mine. Dad was in the last graduating class of the 11th Horse Cavalry. Personally decorated with a Bronze Star by "Wild" Bill Donovan for his work in the CIC (precursor of the OSS). I could fill pages with his exploits. He taught each of his children to be proud to be Americans and to cherish the freedom that his generation preserved for us. In Dad's words, "It was just a job that my country asked me to do. I ...

Wednesday June 30 9:04 AM ET Rappers Banned From Salvadoran Airwaves SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) - Salvadoran radio stations, responding to a government request, Tuesday banned songs by two controversial rap groups because their lyrics were said to be an assault on public decency.

The request was accepted by the country's radio operators' federation. Stations aimed at youth audiences were asked to pull from their playlists the Mecate hit ``El Directo,'' a song telling the story of an infamous ...

TURNER GETS BUFFALOED By PAUL THARP Ted Turner is no longer home alone on the range where his buffalo roam. Unhappy with America's weak appetite for bison burgers and steaks, Turner is turning over his buffalo herds to major meat packers, who will be better able to promote the health benefits of the low-fat meat. The billionaire vice chairman of Time Warner founded his buffalo operation, U.S. Bison Co. L.LC, several years ago, and has watched its herds grow to 15,000 head. His buffalo graze on his ranches in ranches in Montana, Nebraska and New Mexico. But Turner, an avid ...
