Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas is once again in the crosshairs of liberals. This has been going on since his confirmation hearings in 1991, when President George H.W. Bush had the temerity to nominate a Black conservative to take the Supreme Court seat of Thurgood Marshall. Thomas' confirmation hearings provided a laboratory showing how low liberals are willing to go to try to discredit a conservative, even more so one who is Black. Now liberal journalists are having their most recent field day because it happens that Thomas' wife, Ginni, is a conservative like him, is an American patriot...

BERLIN (AP) – Two police officers were shot dead while on a routine patrol in western Germany early Monday, police said. The shooting happened during a traffic check near Kusel at about 4:20 a.m., police in Kaiserslautern said in a statement.

Please prayer for my PTSD dog's upcoming tests for his osteosarcoma

To recap, My 11 year old grandson, James had a heart attack yesterday and died. He was revived and taken to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. It is not a certainty yet but early observations point to a good chance of significant brain damage. We will not know for certain for another day or two. Your prayers are still needed regardless of the ultimate outcome.

Please pray for my 90 year old Mother who was hospitalized from COVID. She's very healthy but since we brought her in for low oxygen levels (84%) she's started to decline. She's quarantined and we're only able to reach her via cell. Doctors put her on Remdisivir and dexamethasone which appears to be the standard FDA script. Hospital staff seem only marginally helpful. At this point the whole family feels like we're on thin ice; i.e., don't upset the hospital staff with questions / recommendations because we have no access to our Mother. Please pray that the Lord will give...

It's been TEN years, since the accident that took the lives of two people, dear to my heart: TiaPam and Cardhu. They were both active Freepers.Just Amy opened a thread, requesting prayers for me, and there were almost 1,000 replies.A friend copied every page of those posts, and bound it in a folder for me.

Many of the posters are no longer with us, and many are new to this forum. But those who...

Prayers for my dog, please

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) responded to critics Monday, including potential Democrat gubernatorial challenger Nikki Fried (D), who accused him of being absent when, in reality, he was attending his wife’s cancer treatments during the holiday break. “I guess I should have been at the beach in Delaware. They would have been really happy about that,” he quipped, referencing President Biden’s beach vacation. DeSantis noted that they put out a schedule as well, but his critics assume the governor is not doing anything if he is not holding a big press conference. On Wednesday, when there was nothing on the...

There are a thousand ways to pray—at least. Some people kneel at their bedside to pray; some pray as they walk. Others pray with beads. Some even pray by texting on their cellphones. One more way to pray is with a “prayer jar.” And it can be especially meaningful during a significant season such as Advent. Any jar can be turned into a prayer jar. A mason jar, for example, or an old coffee canister. Some people decorate their prayer jar, an exercise that can itself be turned into an act of prayer. But whatever you use, there are numerous...

Biden is the shepherd I did not want. He leadeth me beside the still factories. He restoreth my faith in the Republican party. He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his party's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread line, I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with me. He has anointed my income with taxes, My expenses runneth over. Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of my life, And I will live in a mortgaged home forever.. I am glad I am American, I am glad...
