    Israel has evacuated all of its embassies throughout the world in the aftermath of today's terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, according to a CNN report. Reports are indicating residents of eastern Jerusalem, the West Bank, and southern Lebanon are celebrating the mass terror attacks in the United States at this time. Dozens of Palestinian youths have taken to the streets and are distributing candies on a main thoroughfare passing through eastern Jerusalem. Israeli police are reportedly clashing with the youths. Elsewhere in the West Bank, Palestinian Authority policemen are attempting to stop the spontaneous celebrations.

    Psalm 231 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.6 Surely goodness and mercy shall ...

    I thank God we have the freedoms we have in this country. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Today is a special election in Macomb County Michigan. The four candidates that MCRGO is endorsing are Alan Sanborn, Sue Rocca, Steve Thomas, and Alvin Kukuk. All those candidates are endorsed. I'd vote for Sanborn if I voted there, but the other three are good.

    As I, like most Americans have sat transfigured and appalled this day as thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of my countrymen have been killed, I can only contemplate and comment on what I feel we as a people MUST do in the face of this. NOTHING in our history compares to this. I expect that the losses will approach and maybe exceed 20,000 in terms of deaths. We MUST exact a swift, horrific and lasting retribution against any organization that did this AND against ANY nation that abetted it. Once we know who those organizations and nations are, I believe ...

    U.S. officials on Friday warned American citizens in Japan and South Korea to be on alert following a report of an unconfirmed terrorist threat against the U.S. military in the Pacific. “It’s a caution to American citizens simply because there was a threat directed at the American military and the places that they gather,” U.S. Embassy spokesman Patrick Linehan said Saturday. Linehan described the threat as “credible” but did not provide details such as when or where a possible attack might occur. He also did not say when the warning would be lifted. Terrorist warnings are rare in Japan, Linehan ...

    A word of support and encouragment on behalf of Canadian freepers to all U.S. freepers and everyone else there because of these infamous acts against the U.S. The U.S. is the last bastion of freedom and conservatism on this planet. Take our encouragement as we join you in condemning and hopefully acting in concert to crush these terrorist groups who are at war with freedom and liberty.

    Dear Fellow Americans, I have read so many posts, with the opinion going to war. Yes, we have been attacked, the source, not really known, verified yet. And perhaps it will be many years later, when we are really told the truth. Just remember, Pearl Harbor, the USA didnt want to be involved in war....that was delibrate to involve us, to make Americans mad enough to join in the war. It was a delibrate action. And how many innocents died then? Including our own? And those innocents in other countries. War is not the answer, but probably what someone INTENDS. ...

The terrorist attacks across the US have shakened many, many parents. Many other school related activites have been cancelled for the day, as well as after school activites this evening.

    This concerns United Flight 175, a Boeing 767, which was bound from Boston to Los Angeles. WLW is reporting that the plane has crashed, but no ID as to where. Also, Palestinian cowards are apparently in the streets celebrating the "success" of the attacks.

    At this moment we could have attacks underway against terrorist organizations. The press will not report these attacks until they have succeeded. Be somewhat doubtful about what you hear from the press and what you read here on this website. There is a lot of inflamed statements regarding the attacks we have had in New York and Washington. Communications are disrupted in quite a few areas. Listening to the press on various channels it is obvious that they do not have coordinated reports. In your home areas, remain calm. The guy tailgating you in your car may have had 5 ...
