Happy New Year, everyone!! IMHO, 2017 was a great year and, Lord willing, 2018 should be even greater!! Build the wall, enforce the law, deport them all!! End sanctuary cities!! End anchor babies!! Continue cutting regulations, cutting government, cutting spending and cutting taxes!! Continue bringing back capital, manufacturing, jobs and the economy!! Continue appointing constitutional conservative judges and restoring the constitution and our religious freedom!! Continue rebuilding and strengthening our military!! Prepare for a great election in November, sweeping in even more conservatives to the congress so we can accomplish all of the above, plus finally and fully repeal Obamacare!!...

I'm on probation these days. For it's that time of year when Jews put themselves on trial before the High Judge, so I write today's column from the dock, being my own accuser and, at the end of these Ten Days of Repentance, my own defense attorney. Even my own forgiver, if I can show myself sufficient mercy. It's a simple assignment, and there's really nothing to worry about. Because the fix is in just between you, me and the whole world. The presiding judge loves me, and at the drop of a prayer will forgive anyone who calls upon...

        LIVING PRAYER Brother Lawrence was a monk who lived almost 300 years ago and worked in the galley of his monastery. He wrote a book, The Practice of the Presence of God, which today is considered a classic in the area of Christian devotion. Brother Lawrence spent much of his time in the monastery scullery scrubbing pots and pans. He also had a collateral duty as the monastery cobbler. In these jobs, he said, he learned to glorify God in simple tasks and to pray with his hands. By bringing to each small job the...

LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT YEAR OF HOPE AND PROSPERITY FOR ALL. Best election ever. MAY HILLARY SOON BE FORGOT AND NEVER BROUGHT TO MIND... Are we really finally done with the wretched woman or is she planning a 2020 comeback? SHE MUST BE PROSECUTED FOR HER CRIMES TO END IT ONCE AND FOR ALL. FReepers had a 20 year battle against the witch. This song was written shortly after we began work on HILLARY! UNCENSORED, which we debuted at Harvard in late October 2007 on her 60th birthday.

Nigel Farage will be coming back to the U.S. as a guest of Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant and to attend the Donald Trump inauguration festivities. Here’s a quick message from Farage recapping a momentous 2016 with optimism for 2017 and beyond:

This video instrumental, Christmas at 2016, has a 2017 New Year greeting at end. The mandolin instrumental is covered by, Revski - o7jimmy.

Judicial Watch Christmas Message 2016 Christmas 2016 finds us in many ways a divided nation. We have just come through an unusually contentious election. And, in fact, many consider the past eight years to have been some of the most divisive in American history. So, at a time like this, it may be best to step back from the events and issues that divide us and focus our hearts and minds on the uncommon bonds that unite us. As we do, I am reminded of one of my favorite stories from Christmas past… A story that proves anew that...

Ted Cruz was on Fox News tonight to bring in the New Year, delivering a fantastic monologue on why 2016 is going to be an awesome year:"2016 is going to be an incredible year." (Video)I love how he ended it. What a great future we know is coming when we will hear those words, Barack Obama is no longer president. Let’s just hope the following words will be “but President Cruz will be glad to see you in the Oval Office.”HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Will the Real January 1st Please Stand Up? A Homily for New Years By: Msgr. Charles PopeThis feast day, of January 1, is a very complex tapestry, both culturally in liturgically. Perhaps we can use the second reading by St. Paul to the Galatians as a way to weave through some of the many details. We can look at it in three parts.I. The Chronology of our celebration. The text from St. Paul’s letter to the Galatians says, When the fullness of time had come…Most people, both in the wider culture and in the Church are going about today...

“Alas, Alas for the Great City!” An Urgent Plea for Prayer at the New Year! By: Msgr. Charles PopeWe are very close to the new year, 2015 AD. And most of us at the new year have it in mind to pray for the future year not only for ourselves, but also for our family, country, and culture. With that in mind, there is something of an admonition to us all that I would share from Scripture. For while we look to the new year with hope, we do well to soberly assess the warnings of God that are seemingly...
