    1 John 5:14-15 (King James Version) And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. How desperate do you have to be to Virtue Grandstand for a group of bloodthirsty savages as if they are an oppressed person. Never mind they just had a sneak attack to gang rape and murder two thousand innocent victims; the innocent victims are the problem. You have...
  • Problem receiving Yahoo email from conservative sources

    05/01/2024 11:38:19 AM PDT · by jasonandtheb · 21 replies
    The sources include Epoch Times and Jihad Watch. I can find these emails via a Yahoo email search, and the results indicate they are in the inbox, but I can't see them there. I've checked my filters, but there is nothing that might cause this problem. I added filters to whitelist the sources, diverting the email in the Inbox, but that didn't work. I've been consulting with Epoch Times about this. Other users of theirs have had similar issues with several different email providers. Any ideas?

    Does anyone know anything about Vivaldi? I was looking for a privacy browser for the new ?Chromebook I was given. Brave doesn't seem to want to download, but the web search pulled up the Vivaldi browser. (I guess you could say it's a browser for all four seasons.) Anyone used this browser? Know anything about it?

    Lying in bed listening to music on my android pad the other night and ran across this song by Owen Mac, "Play Me the Waltz of the Angles" The young boy has a beautiful voice. What got my attention was when the camera would fade in and out to what would seem to be his father or granddad. Whoever he is, this old man looks exactly like me. Even shocked my wife when she saw the video. Take a look if you like but enjoy the song. I'll be 85 next month and most 85-year-old people aren't too good looking....

    Made an appointment to see a medical specialist affiliated with a large hospital and teaching institution located in Tampa, Florida. The appointment was made two months in advance, the office was that far booked up and its services apparently that much in demand. On the day of the appointment, I arrived twenty minutes early, produced my insurance and identity cards, and was given a portable tablet to complete some documentation. Just about everything I had to electronically sign on the tablet was about disclosing my personal medical history to anyone who asked for it, and agreeing that anything done to...

    Hello, I'm planning a trip to Dallas in the next couple of weeks. I know nothing about Dallas so I am relying on your collective experience to help me out. I plan on making a trip to Dealy Plaza and visit the 6th Floor Museum. Not much of an itinerary but that is what I got. I plan on being there on a weekday afternoon, spend one full day and fly out the next day. Looks like Dallas Fort Worth Airport will be my starting point. Any suggestions on motel/hotel places to stay-no AirBNB, good tourist places to visit during...

    American historian William D. Rubinstein concluded that, even under most conservative estimates, Stalin was responsible for the deaths of at least 7 million people, or about 4.2% of USSRs total population.Mao Zedong from 1958 to 1962, his Great Leap Forward policy led to the deaths of up to 45 million people – easily making it the biggest episode of mass murder ever recorded.

    FR ^ | April 26 | Me
    A few Freepers have pointed out there is no statute of limitation on murder in the U.S. If they allow Trump to be prosecuted then there is enough evidence to arrest and put Obama on trial for crimes during his presidency mostly the drone strike spree he went on in Afghanistan, Iraq and Yemen even killing an American citizen. This is the most egregious one the killing a 16 year old by drone strike: Abdulrahman Anwar al-Awlaki (also spelled al-Aulaqi, Arabic: عبدالرحمن العولقي; August 26, 1995 – October 14, 2011) was a 16-year-old United States citizen who was killed by...

    I'm not sure if car and truck manufacturers are still using soybean based coating for the myriad of wires in vehicles with sensors all over them. A friend just spent over $3k on two vehicles because of squirrels eating the wires. Both vehicles required complete re-wiring, entire harnesses were chewed through. Their pickup truck is only a few years old, the suv a bit older about 4 years. The insurance would not cover the damage, and the manufacturer would not either. Trying to find out if our 2022 Buick Encore has soybean coatings, lots of squirrels, mice and other critters...

    Got to hand it to them they're on a roll. So far this year they have passed: - Budget busting Omnibus - 100 billion of foreign aid despite half the U.S. vehemently against it. - Warrantless wiretapping renewed for another 2 years despite being caught using it against a sitting president. - TikTok Ban, an App enjoyed by 140+ million American users and likely unconstitutional. They have managed to get this through a divided House and Senate to their puppets desk. Remarkable isn't it ! And yet the news claims "bipartisanship" in Washington DC is rare. Well, the secret is...

    On Good Friday, March 29, 2024, I I cut my hand and had to go to the nearby Urgent Care her in Phoenix. They stitched up my hand and scheduled me to come back in a couple of weeks to get the stitches removed. When I went back, the Urgent Care center got masky in the meantime. I told them I would wait outside, and "You do know that the studies now show that the masks don't do anything useful." When I came in, I did put the mask on over my mouth, but not my nose. When I was...

    I’m sitting here re-charging my RV battery bank. Just messing around seeing how this stuff works. One trend is RV manufacturers now furnish 12 volt DC powered refrigerators. Even the small units pull 10 amps, on hot days I can see 40 amps or so daily would be routine. Using a generator and the installed RV converter, it needs re-charging often, and while the performance is good, it is what it is. A propane powered refrigerator, on the other hand, will run for a month on a standard 20 pound barbecue tank. Out in the desert, water looms critical when...

Personally, I'm against it and was just wondering how people here my feel on the topic.

    Israel has a national debt of $310 Billion owed by its 9.6 million citizens. Individually, each Israeli citizen’s share is $32,291. The U.S. has a national debt of $34 Trillion owed by 334 million citizens. Individually, each U.S. citizen’s share is $101,796. All politics aside, why am I, you, each of our children and grandchildren borrowing money to give to Israel when each of us already carries a debt burden three times that of each Israeli citizen?

    i have a recurring surmise that melania could potentially be a much bigger political asset to DJT in the 2024 presidential election than she currently appears to be (log cabin republicans? how many of those are there btw??). before dismissing it altogether, give it a chance. melania checks two or three big boxes that her husband does not-- consider: women, immigrants, catholics. melania also provide an eastern european perspective which might even be deployed against the ukranian war funding. trump's achilles heel if he has one (and discounting ever present massive vote fraud, which is beyond this scope) is the...

    Does anyone remember on 2016 election night around the time it began to look like Trump winning Nate silver was on TV somewhere and he commented on the Midwest. He said something like: If Trump is winning Ohio and Iowa by 4 or 5 points it means it is likely he could win Wisconsin Pennsylvania and Michigan as the voters are all similar. He made it sound statistically baked in as a rule that could generally be counted on. Imagine applying that statement to Ohio and Iowa in 2020. If anyone can find the clip I think it would be...
