If we could get ALL, and I mean ALL, of the president's enemies and detractors to remain quiet ALL the time, we'd ALL be better off. Certainly, the media and the entertainment industry wouldn't be overworked and over wrought. There'd be less noise pollution and air pollution. The nation would benefit tremendously. Our allies have no business sitting in judgement of anything we do, as it was our cash that kept our so called "friends" afloat for decades. As for your charges of treason, Mueller has been up and running for over two years and has wasted a ton of public cash on a wild goose chase that has availed nothing. It's no wonder that guy doesn't want to publish a report. He's gotten nothing for his time and our expense. less

I do know that God operates through the venues of medical technology. God is able to use this knowledge to perform healing just as He is able to use His ability for the spontaneous and miraculous. We are supposed to have the good sense and powers of reason to understand this. My faith hasn't been diminished by any dependence I've had on the practice of medicine. I've been to the edge on two occasions in the past twelve years. Each time my faith has increased and has been reinforced as God used the proxy of physicians to perform His will. I'm grateful for the medical teams that worked diligently each time. I'm even more thankful that all good things flow from the Throne of Grace. less

This is the only place that such could be accomplished and that is how it should be. In many areas of the world, minority populations are persecuted and have been denied basic rights and needs since the stone age. This progression of progress, was accomplished despite 150 years of historic honors attributed to the southern confederacy. This has also occurred despite the editing, rewriting, censorship and revision of history. It can also be said that the southern US has changed dramatically over the last century, in both attitude and perspective.You can find the past distasteful, but you can't change it. Other nations have attempted the same heavy handed tactics to no productive purpose. Many will take a rush to judgement over an education in American History any time.

When we offer intercessory prayer, we are petitioning Jesus, the Savior, on behalf of the circumstances and situations encountered by those around us. In short, we believe that prayer is a powerful force and that faith is the key that unlocks it.

If they can feed you, they can starve you. At least that was the observation of Thomas Jefferson. I've never been in a position where I was in danger of starving or doing without while waiting on government. It's about initiative, personal drive, motivation, ingenuity and creativity. Of course, I realize that in the socialist dream world, everybody either works for government, lives off government or serves the interest of government in some way. Some of us find a way to make it. Others sit in sack cloth and ashes waiting for someone to be the problem solver, provider and benefactor. So to answer this rather strange question, many of us would RATHER get off the old duff and do something extraordinary to keep a kid from going hungry. Alternate measures require some thinking and a little work. less

Here,at the family homestead, the effects were minimal despite the wind and rain. Most of our county saw flooding due to the number of creeks and ponds we have here. Power outages are as close as 3-4 miles away. We've made it due to the providential and protective hand of God. I would praise Him and offer thanks if I had lost it all and walked away with my life. I know that many have suffered greatly, even to the extent of lives being lost. In spirit, we are as one. Our portion of the country was already in terrible shape due to Florence. The impacts of the two storms will take a lot of time to recover from.

Roy Orbison had a wonderful unique sound that helped define the late fifties and early sixties. Buddy was a prolific songwriter and we can only wonder how much work he might have turned out.

Said they, the bird to slay that made the breeze to blow!

Half of Congress sleeps through it. Most people don't watch it. Make 535 copies of the damn fool thing and send it to Capitol Hill, then if it must be a TV event(it doesn't), deliver it from the Oval Office. This advice is for all presidents. As a post script to this comedy of errors, if I was Nancy, the Wicked Witch of the West, I'd throw in the towel on the standoff. She has blindly and stupidly made a fool of herself with both the aircraft excursion AND the phony "security" issue. less

The lies, hypocrisy and immorality have landed a fatal blow. As my dad said fifty years ago, this country can't be taken from the outside, but it's capable of crumbling from within. True then and true now.

It's as simple as that. If your opinions are shaped by a lie, by all means, stay tuned to where the lying is best. Since most folks had rather believe a lie, there is a huge market for these outlets to supply the demand.

At least that was the observation of Thomas Jefferson. I've never been in a position where I was in danger of starving or doing without while waiting on government. It's about initiative, personal drive, motivation, ingenuity and creativity. Of course, I realize that in the socialist dream world, everybody either works for government, lives off government or serves the interest of government in some way. Some of us find a way to make it. Others sit in sack cloth and ashes waiting for someone to be the problem solver, provider and benefactor. So to answer this rather strange question, many of us would RATHER get off the old duff and do something extraordinary to keep a kid from going hungry. Alternate measures require some thinking and a little work. less
