    U.S. Congress ^ | January 23, 2024 | John Leland 1789
    Ohio Republican Congressman Jim Jordan says, "We now know the federal government flagged terms like “MAGA” and “TRUMP,” to financial institutions if Americans completed transactions using those terms. "What was also flagged? If you bought a religious text, like a BIBLE, or shopped at Bass Pro Shop." https://x.com/Jim_Jordan/status/1747718053365010737?s=20 https://x.com/Jim_Jordan/status/1747718064374730900?s=20

    Well, I have scoured a half dozen web sites. I confess that I, perhaps, am not good at searching the Internet. But how many key words would one have to know and use to search for a mailing address ??!! So, would anyone like to make fun of me, at least, while you, please provide a valid USPS mailing address for the celebrated talk show and TV personality, Sean Hannity?
  • The Romeika Family Legally in the USA Under Threat of Deportation

    Home School Legal Defense Association ^ | October 5, 2023 | HSLDA Editors
    The Romeike family was forced to flee Germany in 2008, because they chose to homeschool. Germany does not recognize the fundamental right of parents to homeschool their children, and only permits the practice in very narrow circumstances. A Story of Hope When Uwe and Hannelore Romeike decided in 2006 that God was calling them to homeschool their five children, Germany responded swiftly by leveling fines that exceeded the family’s income, forcibly removing the children from the home to take them to school, and threatening to remove the children from the home permanently. So the Romeikes fled to America, where we...
  • U.S. Armed Forces Planners At War With Christianity and the Christian Family

    Baptist Committee of Correspondence | August 11, 2023 | John Leland 1789
    U.S. ARMED FORCES PLANNERS AT WAR WITH CHRISTIANITY AND THE CHRISTIAN FAMILY. EVERY YEAR Congress debates and passes a NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT. About every year since (I believe) 1994, a provision to require women to register for Selective Service (i.e., register of the military draft, as men are required to do) finds its way in as a provision of the bill. What you as an individual think about women being required to register for Selective Service, and what you think about women in general serving in the Armed Forces, has very much to do with what you believe about...
  • What is Happening to Rail in the USA?

    Here in south-central Indiana we are watching the rail tracks removed throughout our region of the state. There is, . . . no, was a rail line 500 feet from the Indiana house I bought in 1997. At that time we enjoyed watching and hearing two fairly long freight trains pass us each day. We went to the Philippines for a missionary tour, and when we returned (2004), there was no more rail traffic. But after several months, one day, to our surprise, we heard the rail-crossing bells, then a train horn, then we saw a lengthy automobile carrier train...

    We are wondering whether someone can help us with some statistics? What percentage of public school teachers in the USA are members of the National Education Association (NEA)? What percentage of public school teachers in the USA are members of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT)? And then, if someone has state-by state stats, can you give us those? We are particularly interested in our own state of Indiana. We have made many phone calls today to both the Indiana Department of Education and to the National Education Association, and they are alike extremely difficult to contact with any questions...

    It will be much simpler to fight NOW against your daughters and young wives being in the position to be drafted, than for your daughters and young wives to go through any conscientious objection process later. Refer to NDAA FY 2023. This comes up every year, and we must be diligent every year. Interestingly, the requirement for women to register for Selective Service was in the House bill and not in the Senate's. This year, it was not in the House bill, but is in the Senate version. We urge those who value the core values which our Armed Forces...

    I viewed and recorded all five hours of U.S. Senator Ron Johnson's very well done panel discussion entitled, COVID-19: A SECOND OPINION, today, January 24, 2022, 9:00am to 2:00pm Eastern. I believe the education herein is of particular importance to us all. Please listen for the section (near the end) on the effect vaccines can have on reproduction, especially on the female ovaries, and women in their menopausal state. Do you want healthy children and grandchildren? I viewed the live video myself in real time (Monday, January 24, 2022 9am to 2pm) and produced a separate audio recording. I produced...

    We are trying to locate a precise report regarding vaccine effectiveness and negative effectiveness. We were listening to WBAP (AM 820), Dallas this morning from southern Indiana. The reception was slightly fair. WBAP broadcast mentioned a report in the Wall Street Journal as follows: Regarding the Omicron Variant: 30 days after being vaccinated, the vaccine is not effective at all. 90 days after, the vaccine has a NEGATIVE effectiveness, making it more likely that a vaccinated person will contract Covid than an unvaccinated person. Has anyone seen the pertinent WSJ report?

    PROTECT WIVES, DAUGHTERS AND CHILDREN PROJECT: NDAA FY 2022 is now law without the provision requiring all females from age 18 to 26 to register for Selective Service. Thank the Lord. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX-31) said that there was a massive grassroots surge against the provision. But there will be NDAA FY 2023, 2024, 2025, and on and on. The anti-family forces will not stop. We will not wait until late in 2022 to keep any "draft our daughters" provision out of NDAA FY 2023. The BAPTIST COMMITTEE OF CORRESPONDENCE (BCoC) is part of the grassroots that Rep. Roy spoke...

    Letter from U.S. Rep John Carter (R-TX-31) | December 8, 2021 | John Leland 1789
    NDAA FY 2022 Requirement for Women to Register for Selective Service REMOVED Yesterday, December 7, 2021. This is very good news! This came from a friend in the Texas 31st Congressional District, not from our own Congressman. But I have been on the phone with Trey Hollingsworth's (R-IN-9) Jeffersonville office. Rep Hollingsworth's office has confirmed that the U.S. Senate sent a compromise bill back to the House insiting on these changes. The vote in the House took place yesrerday, December 7, 2021, and we were successful in the points shown here in Congressman John Carter's letter. This is confirmed. And...

    CONCERNING THE PROVISION IN THE NDAA WHICH WOULD REQUIRE WOMEN TO REGISTER FOR SELECTIVE SERVICE (i.e., register for any potential military draft): November 15, 2021 "The House and Senate Armed Services Committees agreed to amendments that require women to register for the draft. The House passed the NDAA with this provision and now the Senate is likely to vote on this next week. It is critical that the Senate remove this provision! Would you take a moment right now and ask your senators to vote against drafting our daughters?" ~~~Family Research Council. ______________________________________________ Forget the military readiness arguments for and...

    Wondering whether there are any members of the Free Presbyterian movement (North America or Ulster), or of the Bible Presbyterian movement who are Freepers. A new pastor, Richard Clark, has been installed at the Salem Presbyterian Church in Salem, Indiana. The following, in his own words, is his vision for the church (as quoted in the Salem Leader-Democrat Newspaper, Thursday, July 8, 2021: "My vision for the Salem Presbyterian is openness, new ideas, social justice, and getting back to the real teachings of Jesus instead of the doctrines about him. To follow Jesus means more than worshipping him; it means...

    A PARTICIPATORY REPUBLIC. By the Providence and blessing of Almighty God, the United States was founded as a Constitutional Republic, and as a Participatory Republic. Our Baptist forefathers, after experiencing more than a century of persecution in the Colonies, did participate in the new Republic by their witness in writing and personal communications with presidents, members of Congress, and other statesmen. The annals are replete with the record. Whole libraries can be filled with the history of Christian participation. Out of many resources available, we recommend the complete library of the Foundation for American Christian Education (FACE) in Chesapeake, Virginia,...

    On January 14, 2021, FOX News' Bret Baier reported that though there was some chatter of Antifa involvement in the episode at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, that this information was quelled because Rep. Kevin McCCarthy, House Minority Leader, made a statement that "This was not Antifa; we need to accept that." Here is the FOX Video URL: https://www.foxnews.com/us/arkansas-man-seen-beating-cop-with-flagpole-during-capitol-riot-arrested The question about Antifa involvement is at the 2 minute 35 second mark. Rep. Kevin McCarthy needs to pay attention to Freelance Journalist Stephen Oatley of his own PT News Network who has studied the background of Antifa member John...

    Very simple here for this morning. I have in my Internet Radio preset radio frequencies WMAC, 970 AM, Macon, Georgia. I have kept that preset for years and have used it as a source for conservative talk and commentary. We have very many Christian conservative friends in that region. Of late, Erick Erickson has been the morning host (9 to 12 Eastern). And today I am writing him, not in my Free Republic screen name, but in my own name to ask him, "Mr. Erickson, are you, in actuality, a tool of the left, or worse?" My impression of this...
