We are now finding out that Uvalde School Police Chief Arredondo is a supporter of DemonRat Beto O’Rourke. The mayor of Uvalde is a DemonRat and I expect the rest of the city government is, too. Since the DemonRats are the party of death, and they have no qualms about ripping a tiny pre-born baby from its mother’s womb, why should we be surprised that they would delay rescuing post-born children from slaughter? The DemonRats do not care if innocent lives are lost, as long as their agenda is furthered. Abortion is not about “a mother’s right to choose” or...

It’s Saturday afternoon! Time for American Bandstand! A blast from the past - the way it used to be...

There is a really weird sound that has been going on for about 30 minutes. It sounds like harmonics in the atmosphere - there are three notes. It’s completely separate from the jets coming from the airport. Can anyone else hear it? I heard it Thursday evening, also. What is it?

WLS was mentioned in a post the other day, and several FReepers mentioned listening to it at night. Although WLS was located in Chicago, the range seemed to be across the country. I listened to it, here in Dallas, many nights (when the weather cooperated). How about you? Did any of you listen to WLS? I did, on my patent’s hi-fi in the living room - when I was doing my homework. 😉

... Within a few short months of Argentine Bergoglio’s papal election, the Soros inner circle was firmly entrenched at the Vatican, calling the shots, drafting documents, setting the Soros political agenda with the power and moral persuasion of the Vatican. The global eco movement finally found their critical missing component, the voice of moral authority. ... As the recent WIKILEAKS Soros data dump demonstrates, the billionaire Soros’ tentacles entangle policies and create chaos in countries around the globe through his legions of operatives at his Open Society philanthropies. ... Although Open Society funds radical Catholic groups, Soros was unable to...

Dear President Trump: ... your tenacity in pushing back against many of the most harmful recent trends has been most inspiring. We all look forward to seeing a continued reversal of the collectivist trends of recent decades.  Reversing recent collectivist trends will, by necessity, require a reversal of many of the actions taken by the previous administration.  Among those actions we believe that there is one that remains cloaked in secrecy.  Specifically, we have reason to believe that a Vatican “regime change” was engineered by the Obama administration. ... we believe it to be the responsibility of loyal and informed...

After many long days of painful, maddening, and sickening news, our family has been enjoying evening trips back to the thrilling days of yesteryear via the DVD time machine. Old TV shows have reinforced our remembrance of how America used to be, both during the times the shows were made and the stories of the wild west and America's "Manifest Destiny." It's been wonderful to go back in time, to re-visit stories of men who were for the most part valiant, courageous, honorable, full of integrity, law-abiding, and steadfast, and of women who were for the most part gracious, kind,...

Our government is out of control. First, it was the World War II veterans who had to break down barriers to see the open air, un-attended memorial erected in their honor. ... But now there’s a story just coming to light that takes things even further. According the Archdiocese for Military Services, GS and contract priests (who are paid by the federal government as independent contractors in places where there aren’t enough active-duty priests to meet the needs of Catholics in military service) are being forbidden from celebrating Mass, even on a volunteer basis. If they violate this restriction, they...

Yesterday many of us participated in a thread entitled "I miss America when it was Decent and Good." Many of us shared our memories and there were some wonderful stories. Today, someone posts that "elderly kooky types" "infest FR" and "go on and on about their grandchildren and what a great president Eisenhower was." Just for kicks (see I'm dating myself already), how many FReepers are "elderly kooky types?"

WASHINGTON – Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman, ID-Conn., and Ranking Member Susan Collins, R-Maine, Friday announced they would conduct a bipartisan inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012, that killed four Americans including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. “The lives of four patriots serving their country until the end were lost September 11, 2012, during a terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. Those four men, their loved ones, and the American people deserve a full and fair accounting of why and...

This thread is to consolidate all information on the Benghazi fiasco.

So my phone rings at a few minutes past eight this morning, and it is a local pro-life leader asking if I would be willing to speak for five minutes at the Denver Rally for Religious Liberty on the steps of the state capitol downtown at noon. Sure. Why not? Here's the transcript of the speech. There were cameras there, but I have yet to see the video - if it is posted at all. If anyone happens across it, do let me know and I'll post it here. Until then, just imagine the crazy eyes, and fire coming out...

This is the latest 60 second video from Priests for Life.

Who do you think you are? Do you think you have some kind of superior knowledge that makes you qualified to tell us what our country should be? Do you think you are somehow smarter than we are and “know what’s best?” Do you think your education and experience gives you the right to dictate the direction our country goes in? Or do you just have monumental egos and a desire for power? Our country was just fine until you and your precious Weather Underground and comrades brought drugs, death, and destruction here. You have subsequently tried to convince us...

The French Revolution reveals the titanic struggle between good and evil. During the terror, over 40,000 Frenchmen were executed just for holding fast to the Catholic Faith and objecting to the worst excesses of the Committee of Public Safety. The blood lost in the years of 1792-1794 staggers the imagination even in the retelling and the campaign against the Church was as diabolical as it was cruel. Contemplative religious communities had been among the first targets of the fury of the French Revolution against the Catholic Church. Less than a year from May 1789 when the Revolution began with the...

American Airlines’ new bag policy discriminates against women, because most women will have to check their bag while men will not. As an example, here are the non-solid products my husband and I take when traveling: My List: Shampoo, Cream Rinse, Body Wash, Body Lotion, Spray Perfume, Toothpaste, Mouthwash, Contact Lens Solution, Glasses Cleaner, Face Cleanser, Toner, Facial Night Cream, Moisturizer, Sunscreen, Vaseline Lip Therapy, Hand Cream, Mascara, Lipgloss My Husband’s List: Shampoo, Cream Rinse, Toothpaste, Mouthwash, Glasses Lens Cleaner Since we are required to put our lotions in a quart bag if we want to carry them on board,...

A PERSONAL INVITATION TO THE EWTN FAMILY By Raymond Arroyo Pope Benedict XVI is coming to the United States April 15-20 and, as most Catholics know, tickets to the live events are scarce. But EWTN family will have a front row seat. I will be anchoring each event live with my co-host, Father Richard John Neuhaus, and other papal commentators, including Carl Anderson, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus. I can promise you that no one will have coverage as complete and as authoritative as EWTN. From the Pope’s arrival at Andrews Air Force Base, where he is being...
