By Erick Erickson When they confront facts that are inconvenient to the narrative, they leave those facts out. I need you guys to pray.

About a quarter-million motorcycle riders are expected to descend upon the town of Sturgis, South Dakota, taking part in the 10-day annual rally that kicked off on Friday.

The mainstream media and […]

The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever. —Deuteronomy 29:29 After reading a short passage of Scripture, a preacher took off his glasses, slammed his Bible shut, and said, “This morning I intend to explain the unexplainable, find out the undefinable, ponder over the imponderable, […]

Lots of great items on The Canada Free Press page every day. I find the Roberts SCOTUS to have turned into a sad story.  Seems as how John Roberts really underwent a major injury when he fell and hit his head recently.  That or —  could his name have surface in the Lolita Express records??? I have to ask the […]

I’ve received several emails stating that the payroll tax deferral will do away with Social Security and Medicare.  I have not had time to do any research on it – been a BUSY morning here and I am dealing with some rather severe pain in my left hip (hate to even think of another surgery).    I don’t see Pres. Trump […]
