I've had an amazing weekend, and I want to share it with you all, that you may derive strength and hope from it. I've touched a few lives and been touched with an outpouring of love this weekend, and done so in meaningful ways. From my beloved lady, to several very close internet friends, we've had heart-to-heart talks and made some tremendous plans. America is in grave danger. We stand on the precipice of having one-party rule by the Democrats at a national level. That, coupled with the heinous plans of the Globalist W.E.F. people, scares me greatly. Their plans...

This is the first time that I have gone out on a limb to post anything like this, but I just felt that its worthwhile and the general crowd here would appreciate the subject matter. This is a book that has helped me with my prayer-focus. The gal that wrote it apparently has a radio show and a website called Letspraytoday.com and the book is already an award winner.

I can almost hear the question from so long ago, “Where’s the beef?” This inquiry came from a Wendy’s advertising campaign emphasizing that their burgers had more meat than other fast-food chains. There’s a similar question that many of us are asking based upon our recent experience of attending churches, “Where is the hope?” If there’s anything people need today, it’s hope. We are immersed in a culture of violence, deceit, and death. In the U.S., mass shootings have become commonplace. The horrors of Hamas’ massacre shocked those not drawn into the demonic lies spread by the Palestinians. Anti-Semitic rants...

SACRAMENTO — The Republican Party will hold a presidential candidate debate at the Ronald Reagan library Wednesday. It’s a bad fit. The GOP’s modern idol is exactly the opposite of Reagan in personality and character. For upbeat Reagan, America was a “shining city on the hill.” For whining Donald Trump, it’s a waste bin for venom and lies. Reagan’s soaring rhetoric made people feel good about themselves. There was “always a bright dawn ahead” — “Morning in America.” Yes, maybe that was a tad naive and corny, but it brought a collective smile — and won over many Democrats.

Biden White House watching closely as oil extends rise about $90 -a-barrel, Treasury Secretary says Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Monday said she thinks oil prices will stop rising but that the Biden administration is watching carefully. "My expectation is that they will stabilize, but we will just have to keep an eye on it," Yellen said in a CNBC interview Oil prices are at their highest level this year after three straight weekly gains pushed crude above $ 90 per barrel Asked if the administration was considering any action, Yellen said that President Joe Biden wants to make sure...

The worst things about life in modern Australia are terrible. Government tyranny and bureaucratic stupidity are the norms. Criminal-at-large Daniel Michael Andrews is still in power as premier of Victoria. But an underlying reality is a human cultural foundation which, while under threat, has not been entirely destroyed - not yet. This foundation includes beautiful, religious, courageous, honest people like Monica. Praise the Lord.

Our nation has suffered a cultural hijacking, and we have a moral obligation to fight back. Do you remember the 1966 film The Sand Pebbles? In the closing scene, sailor Jake Holman (Steve McQueen) is killed by two rifle shots fired by soldiers during the Chinese Nationalist Northern Expedition. The two shots are a few seconds apart. After receiving the shock of the first bullet, the disoriented and moribund Holman mutters, “What happened?” Then, realizing his life is rapidly ebbing away, he shouts to the universe, “What the hell happened?!” With these words comes the crack of the second shot....

Although I am a believer, not a skeptic, I’m a thinking believer. I’m not impressed with the “discovery” of the face of Jesus in a piece of wood. Or the map of America appearing in a bowl of melting ice cream.

Walter Reed National Military Medical Center has issued a “cease and desist order” to Holy Name College, a community of Franciscan Catholic priests and brothers, who have provided pastoral care to service members and veterans at Walter Reed for nearly two decades.

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. ~ 1 Timothy 2:1-2 Religion Forum Threads labeled [Prayer] are closed to debate of any kind.

TOPLINE Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has asked former President Donald Trump to testify before a grand jury investigating a hush money payment to a porn star in the final stretch of the 2016 presidential campaign, according to the New York Times, in a strong signal that an indictment against the ex-president is near. KEY FACTS It’s not clear if Trump will accept the offer, though it’s rare for prospective defendants to testify, according to the Times report, which cited four unnamed sources “with knowledge of the matter.” The case centers around a $130,000 payment then-Trump fixer Michael Cohen...

Does God heal everyone, let's examine that question. And once again you need to understand God's meaning of healing. In the gospels the words heal, healed, healing in The Strong's Concordance is #2323 and it means-to relieve(of disease)-cure, heal. Don't just look at that by the flesh. Because, if you do you will most likely miss it. God's word says in Isaiah 53:4, "Surely he hath borne our griefs(sicknesses and diseases) and carried our sorrows(pains and afflictions). He's talking about what Jesus would do when he came and sacrificed himself for us. For him to bear ours that means ours...

New footage released today shows the moment Hope Solo was yanked from her car by police on the night of her DWI arrest after she passed out behind the wheel with her two-year-old twins in the back. Solo, 41, was arrested on March 31 after being discovered in her car in a Winston-Salem, North Carolina Walmart parking lot. Her two-year-old twins, Lozen and Vittorio, were in the backseat of the car, and the engine was still running. The ex-USWNT goalkeeper was later convicted and hit with a 30-day prison-sentence, which she did not have to serve because of the month...

UAL Chairman Mansour Abbas was interviewed by Meet the Press, where he said "There is a dynamic process, I did not come to change the Jews. I accept Jewish society, including the extreme right that exists in it. I say - we came to change together by getting to know each other, talking - and that is what is happening. I see myself as part of the bloc of ...

A GOP strategist said she was moved to tears by President Joe Biden’s recent speech condemning extremist election-denying Republicans for the risks they pose to American democracy.“Everything feels really dark. Really heavy. We’re in uncharted territory,” Rina Shah told MSNBC on Saturday, citing the discovery of classified documents at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. “We are in [an] absolutely unbelievable moment right now, where we have a person who wants to hijack the country for his own gain.”“So what I heard from Joe Biden last night gave me tremendous hope,” she continued

It may be one of the most surefire findings in all of social psychology, repeatedly replicated over almost five decades of study: American conservatives say they are much happier than American liberals. They also report greater meaning and purpose in their lives, and higher overall life satisfaction. These links are so solidly evidenced that, for the most part, modern social scientists simply try to explain them. They've put forth numerous possible explanations. There are a couple clear contributors to point out first. Marriage tends to make people happier, and conservatives are more likely to be married. Religious belief is also...
