I've spent quite a bit of time researching this issue over the past few days. I'm not going into the basic explanation that I assume everyone knows, just some curious tidbits from my research. - A Condo Declaration was filed on the building in mid-2013, shortly before Chelsea made the deal for the apartment. It's pretty obvious that this outfit isn't still running their business from this apartment, although that certainly doesn't negate some connection. Some things seem too oddly entangled to be coincidence, especially where the Clintons are involved. - Despite the above, a "business lookup" search at dobsearch.com,...

Rumors of an attempted abduction of an Israeli citizen by Arab terrorists in the Sinai Peninsula were proven false late Tuesday night, but Israeli citizens are continuing to be told to stay out of the Sinai Peninsula due to a “serious and immediate” terror alert.

I have a simple question for those of you who have spent time in Iraq: Do CIVILIAN NATIVES in Iraq typically refer to the time of day using a 12-hour (AM/PM) format, or a 24-hour format? Example: If you made a doctor's appointment, would they tell you to be there at 1 PM, or 1300? Big thanks to all who can answer this question! MM

I've started a blog on endtime prophecy, and would appreciate any and all freeper traffic/comments/discussion. While I'll talk about any endtime prophecy issue, its primary focus is the coming War of Gog and Magog, which is IMHO the next major event on the prophetic timeline. And given the current state of affairs unfolding with regard to Israel, I believe we could be extremely close to fulfillment of Ezekiel 38.

This is a way personal thing to post on such an open forum, but I believe fellow Christians will understand. My wife of 30 years has announced that she is leaving me. I am faithful to her and I love her. She is the woman God made for me and that fact has been revealed so many times through the years that it would be impossible to count. She too is a Christian but she has closed her heart and mind to God's will on this issue. I can't share great detail here, but suffice to say that she is...

Product Description In the second decade of the twenty-first century the world is struck by two catastrophes, a new mini-ice age and, nearly simultaneously, a plague to dwarf all previous experiences. Rising out of the disaster is the character known to history as “Bandit Six” an American Army officer caught up in the struggle to rebuild the world and prevent the fall of his homeland—despite the best efforts of politicians both elected and military. The Last Centurion is a memoir of one possible future, a world that is a darkling mirror of our own. Written “blog-style,” it pulls no punches...

Folks, a couple different citizens have now filed to join Berg's federal lawsuit challenging Obama's presidential eligibility. Question: Would it be helpful for dozens/hundreds of citizens to file to join Berg's lawsuit? Can it be turned into a class action? Is it possible? My thinking is that such a move might generate and urgency, and MIGHT even force the MSM to cover it if enough citizens become involved. Thoughts? MM

An attitude of optimism and relief filled a semi-rural neighborhood northwest of Houston yesterday. After losing power on September 12 when Ike rolled in and , the tree and power experts had finally arrived. When asked for an estimated time on a return of power to the neighborhood, the electrical workers were upbeat and gave an "in a little while" answer to the eager residents. Given the progress they were making, it was reasonable to expect that power would be restored within a couple of hours. People would be able to have their first hot shower in nearly two weeks....

A couple of days ago, I was greeted by a message on my Gmail login screen that says, "Sorry, your account has been disabled." I did click on an e-mail a day before that turned out to be a Google-related phishing attempt, but I of course did not enter any credentials or identifying info, or do anything that would provide assistance to the phisher. I have e-mailed Google and e-mailed Google, to no avail. I get absolutely nothing except canned responses. I have been through their "report" process, during which I enter numerous elements of information to prove that the...

Pentecostal minister plays key role in Democrat election strategyEric Gorski - Associated Press Writer - 7/20/2008 5:25:00 AM DENVER - The request befuddled Leah Daughtry. The experienced political hand in charge of planning next month's Democratic National Convention - a self-described "black chick from Brooklyn" and ordained Pentecostal minister who keeps a Bible in her purse - didn't know what to tell the atheists. Daughtry, 44, was preparing for an Aug. 24 interfaith service that will open the Democrats' gathering here - a first for a party that hasn't always gotten God. Before her was an angry letter from a secularist group that wanted...

Throwing out any pretense of being neutral in the culture war, McDonald's has taken up the rhetoric of gay activists, suggesting those who oppose same-sex marriage (SSM) are motivated by hate. AFA has asked for a boycott of McDonald's restaurants because of the company’s promotion of the gay agenda. AFA asked McDonald’s to remain neutral in the culture war. McDonald’s refused. In response to the boycott, McDonald's spokesman Bill Whitman suggested to the Washington Post that those who oppose SSM are motivated by hate, saying "...hatred has no place in our culture." McDonald's has decided to adopt the "hate" theme...

9th Circuit Court of Appeals Hands First Amendment Victory to Center for Bio-Ethical Reform COLUMBUS, OH– July 3, 2008 – A federal appellate panel ruled Wednesday that the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department violated the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform's (CBR) free speech rights when two CBR associates were forced to move a mobile billboard display of enlarged photos of early-term aborted fetuses away from a Rancho Palos Verdes middle school campus.   The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform (CBR), a non-profit pro-life educational foundation, sued the LA County Sheriff's Department and an assistant principal at Dodson Middle School, claiming civil rights...

As I was waiting in the service lounge of an auto dealership a few days ago, I glanced up and saw the following banner on Fox News: RUSSIAN WARNS ISRAEL NOT TO ATTACK IRAN This simple line was rather profound in that it demonstrates just how much the world has changed in such a short period of time. While I certainly believed in biblical prophecies twenty years ago, the issue of the Gog/Magog War was a bit abstract. For while it seems crystal clear that Russia is Magog (and Gog its leader during the war), twenty years ago it was...

Senator Joe Lieberman says he'll speak at a July conference hosted by Pastor John Hagee, whose endorsement has been rejected by GOP presidential candidate John McCain.  McCain last week repudiated the months-old endorsement after an audio recording surfaced in which Hagee said God used Adolf Hitler to push Jews back to the Promised Land.   In a statement, Lieberman says he considers some of Hagee's comments unacceptable and hurtful, but will judge him on his life's work fighting anti-Semitism and building bridges between Christians and Jews.   Lieberman says he still plans to speak at Hagee's Christians United for Israel summit in...
