“It’s just so hard to work on this marriage,” Jennifer said, appearing exhausted. She curled up on the couch, buried her head in her hands and began to cry. Don, her husband of 12 years, looked at her dispassionately, as he too felt discouraged and powerless. Jennifer and Don had come to The Marriage Recovery Center out of sheer desperation.
There he goes again! It's hard to believe New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is, once again, using strong-arm tactics to force his constituents to adopt healthier lifestyles, whether they like it or not.
His latest target is infant formula. He wants mothers to stay away from the stuff and opt for breast feeding instead.
In 2003, I attended a speech by then-Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin at a church in Rockville, Md. At the speech, Boykin wore his U.S. Army dress uniform, but made it clear to the crowd that his opinions were his own.
Several months later, NBC military analyst, William Arkin "broke" a story about Boykin. In it, he grossly misrepresented the general's speeches and constructed a giant scandal where there should never have been one. It pays to note that Arkin is a Greenpeace liberal who did one hitch (four years) in a rear-echelon job in the Army more than 30 years earlier.
For all the so-called geniuses inside the Beltway and mainstream media realms who believe talk of Muslim Brotherhood infiltration is the domain of wackos and modern-day McCarthyites (and who the great Andrew McCarthy thoroughly debunked here), I strongly encourage a thorough reading of my friend and colleague Patrick Poole's latest piece at PJMedia.
We can speculate all day about who Mitt Romney will pick for his running mate, but it's just that...speculation.
One thing we know is that former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has been pounding the pavement hard for Romney for months. He's become one of Romney's go-to surrogates and is rumored to be very high on the list of his picks for vice president.
Pawlenty, once considered a strong contender for the Republican nomination himself, would be considered by many to be fit for office should Romney win.
Regular viewers of the Stakelbeck on Terror Show know that I've reported extensively on the very real threat of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack against the U. S. homeland.
Touted as a game show with ‘biblical proportions’, The American Bible Challenge tests people’s knowledge of God’s Word. This new Bible quiz show premieres on Game Show Network (GSN) on August 23, 2012. Comedian Jeff Foxworthy acts as host inviting contestants to prove their familiarity of Bible stories and history. Episode winners don’t walk away with money in their own pocket though.
Here’s a good example of how the mainstream media just doesn’t get it when it comes to the Tea Party. Read these two paragraphs by Jennifer Steinhauer in today’s New York Times about the Tea Party, but pay attention to the last line.
I believe God uses these devastating situations to bring us closer to Him. Because He created each one of us uniquely, He can show us what to do in every unique situation. Sometimes God will call us to stay. Sometimes He will call us to separate. Never will He ask us to condone or enable sin.
…and why is Israel wealthy?
The beatings have begun for presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who had the guts to call Jerusalem the capital of Israel and suggest that “culture” is why Israel is wealthy and the Palestinians are poor.
