9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. 10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. Job 2:9-10 When Texas receives hurricanes they make lemon-aid. God works in mysterious ways as we are witnessing some of the greatest Christian outreach in the Country being brought to bear in Houston. We are seeing what the Church and good old...

White is the New Black There was a shameful period in post-Civil-War America -- that war undertaken to rid us of a heinous national moral outrage, slavery -- in which the freed slaves were treated incredibly poorly. Denied opportunities, facing racism throughout the land, these African-Americans suffered indignity after indignity. They were denied access to good schools, or, sometimes, any education at all. They were passed over for all but the most menial jobs. The legal system was especially harsh to them. Welfare and other forms of government aid were shoved at them, in the effort to buy their votes...

In late 2011, when the Fast and Furious Obama-gunrunning scandal broke the news media logjam, I noticed something very odd: Almost immediately thereafter, two other major scandals broke open almost simultaneously. Soylandra, a 'green energy' startup, was shown to have misused and diverted millions of dollars, and there was a heavy political involvement by the Obama administration. Secondly, it emerged that the IRS was bending rules for liberal political advocacy groups and slow-walking the approval of conservative ones. It seemed to me, at the time, to be an Alinksy-style tactic: Overwhelming the system. By introducing and nearly-admitting several scandals at...

Statuary Rape A curious madness has swept the American left as of late: There is a hatred and a desire to tear down every monument and statue that 'offends' them. Leaving aside the fact that there is no American right to remain unoffended, what started as a focus on Confederate statues has spread to every manner of marker or memorial. Let us consider: A Houston man attempted to destroy a Confederate statue at the General Dowling Monument.... with a bomb! The 'offending' statue need not even be of a particular person, when, in Durham, protesters illegally toppled a statue of...

I think its time we played the "you must condemn and apologize for ___" on liberals, democrats and their leaders. They must Condemn and apologize for James T. Hodgkinson's shooting of Steve Scalise and the others he shot. They must condemn and apologize for the 15 murders of police associated with black lives matter, as well as the hundreds of people beaten and the hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage and looting. They must condemn and apologize for the rioting and beatings at Berkeley surrounding the Milo event. They must condemn and apologize for all the violence toward...

History proves you cannot appease Marxist/fascist/socialist/globalist totalitarians. They will never be satisfied and will never stop. Trump is absolutely correct. If you allow them to tear down these historical Civil War monuments, then they’ll be coming after Washington and Jefferson next. In fact, they’ll be coming after the American flag, our national anthem, our Judeo-Christian heritage, the Bible, and anything to do with the founding of this great nation while leaving the institution of slavery intact. And that includes the constitution itself. It did not ban slavery and must therefore be destroyed. And they will continue destroying monuments, burning books,...

I know this is a Vanity/Editorial but someone needs to ask a series of questions to those trying to trash Trump. Is a bat wielding KKK, White Supremacist worse than a bat wielding Leftist, Antifa, protestor? If "yes", why? Is it worse for a business owner if his business is looted, torched, damaged, by a KKK, White Supremacist instead of their business being looted, torched, damaged, by a Leftist, Antifa protestor? In the past 2 years who has spewed more hate and violence towards LAW enforcement the KKK, White Supremacist movement OR the Leftist, BLM, Antifa movement? If a member...

1. Leftist/media claim--Trump hasn't condemned racist and violent groups enough. *BUZZ* false He has several times. Contrast that to the democrats. Did Obama EVER condemn black lives matter and their murder of 15 cops, and weeks of rioting and looting? No he never did. has any Democrat condemned the leftists rioting at Berkeley or James Hodgkinson, the murderer who shot Steve Scalise? No, never. fact finder results. Trump has condemned violent racist groups several times. Leftist leaders have not condemned leftist violent hate groups even once. 2.Leftist/media inferred claim-- Only the right is violent, extreme and hateful. *BUZZ* false The...

I am not a writer but will do the best I can. I arrived about 10:30ish. Was actually surprised that I was able to find a parking space relatively close to Lee Park. In fact I thought that perhaps the turnout wouldn't be as big as I was anticipating because I didn't see much at first and I was only 5 blocks from ground zero but I was wrong. By the time I had walked one block toward the park the police presence was strong. Many in riot type gear. They had most streets and walkways blocked off funneling everyone...

I was shocked reading a number of posts today about the incident in Virginia, specifically about the car crash incident. It seems to some that that car crash was the entire sum of the protest. Naturally it is now being used as a weapon against Conservatism, so it is necessary to begin to think clearly about what actually occurred and what we shouldn't be agreeing with the media on. The Federales are even launching a "Civil Rights" investigation over what the media is calling an act of "terrorism": http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/3576716/posts?page=18#18 When you have the Feds coming in to investigate whether civil...

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 KJV Oh how refreshing, to see the Three Pillars of Propaganda (Academia, Media and the DNC) back to supporting our enemy as their treasonous self. Stay tuned for numerous reports of Crazy Kim being misunderstood and a victim of American Imperialism as he courageously tries to rally his...

This is the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history! - Donald Trump 4:52 AM - 18 May 2017 With all of the illegal acts that took place in the Clinton campaign & Obama Administration, there was never a special counsel appointed! - Donald Trump 7:07 AM - 18 May 2017

As many of you will recall, Obama made a trip to Pakistan when he was at Occidental College. I am seeing indicators that this relates to the Awans' network and to Iraq and Iran's nuclear programs, which I'm putting out here for others to help fill the missing pieces in and to get this to the right people. First, a recap of Obama's Pakistan trip:Obama’s Russia Problem: Obama's Links to Soviet-era Spy Rings and Terrorist NetworksAt Occidental College, Obama became involved in radical student politics, deliberately networking with activist students and professors, as he mentions in his autobiography. In 1981,...

In the opening pages of the book "Foundation", written by Isaac Azimov, he describes the beginning of the fall of the Empire. The Empire was a multi-star-system civilization of trillions of people, but it was beginning to rot. One of the key characters observes that a researcher, a pompous Lord of a planet, considered it 'scientific method' to read someone else's work, saying "Why should I travel to another planet? Someone has already written about it." The protagonist thought, "Scientific method, hell. No wonder the galaxy was going to pot." Azimov was prescient. We find ourselves in a similar time....

Who sent out the "loyal supporter" memo? It's like an army of, douchey wind-up cacklers was set upon us. Please stop. Someone tell me what kind of "loyal supporter" Attorney General wakes up one day and recuses himself from the most high profile witch hunt in history - without even the courtesy of a SIMPLE PHONE CALL. I didn't know "Loyal Supporters" ™ made a practice of surprising their bosses in such a way. "But Jeff was there in the beginning." Yes - for himself. In his very pro-Trump constituency, he risked NOTHING and gained everything by backing Trump. We...

Accounts of the phony Trump dossier debacle typically begin on January 10, 2017, when CNN and BuzzFeed publicized allegations about an alleged Russian honey trap operation against Donald Trump that dossier compiler Christopher Steele has admitted were unverified. But the story of the phony dossier actually broke over two months earlier when Mother Jones Washington bureau chief David Corn reported Steele’s allegations on October 31, 2016 under the headline, “A Veteran Spy Has Given the FBI Information Alleging a Russian Operation to Cultivate Donald Trump: Has the bureau investigated this material?”. Corn had previously helped the Democrats sink Mitt Romney’s...

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Psalm 138:2 KJV “We want God”, was the chant of the Polish people when they were calling for their freedom from Soviet oppression during the prayers of Pope John Paul in Warsaw. They did not want money or jobs or handouts they wanted God who represented their freedom just as our forefathers wanted to worship God freely when they sailed to America. It is time for America to go back to God...

CNN would feel much more at home in North Korea. CNN in general, and leftist dirt-digger Andrew Kaczynski in particular, researched the purported creator of the Trump animated meme in which he body-slams someone who has the CNN logo superimposed on his head. Kaczynski found out the Reddit user's real-life name and other personal information, contacted him, and ordered him to issue an apology, remove all his posts, and promise to never again engage in speech Kaczynski does not agree with. To back the order, Kaczynski threatened to reveal the real-life name and personal information of the Reddit user in...

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1 Happy Birthday America and thank you George Washington! It has been over a decade since America could actually celebrate its birthday and not feel guilty about it. Whether it was protesting the war or the eight years of Obama trashing this Country one speech after another we finally have someone in office who loves America and what she stands for. America has been the beacon of freedom in a world of dictators and despots who oppress...

American Express today again refused to withdraw its sponsorship of The Public Theater's adaptation of Julius Caesar, which is now playing in New York's Central Park. The play depicts the brutal assassination of President Donald Trump as he is stabbed to death by multiple assassins. Other theater sponsors, including Delta Air Lines and Bank of America, withdrew their sponsorship from the theater earlier this week. Despite today's attempted massacre of two dozen Republican lawmakers by a leftist gunman provoked by violent anti-Trump rhetoric, American Express stands firm in its corporate support of The Public Theater. In a phone conversation with...
