On a late-fall night in Dallas, Randy Roberts Potts is pushing the gay agenda by watching TV. And by ironing a shirt. Also by doing a puzzle, vacuuming a rug, simmering stew in a slow-cooker, and intermittently stroking the nape of his boyfriend Keaton's

In response to yesterday's PMW video-bulletin which showed the PA Mufti's speech that Muslims' destiny is to kill Jews, YouTube has frozen PMW's account. All PMW videos are working except this one but the account is frozen and PMW cannot upload new video

Let’s face it, he’s a better representative of the religion than Christianity has had in the past. Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, and Oral Roberts. Ok, let me get this straight. Tim Tebow takes a knee on occasion, during a football game. Never on the field,

The very last thing these monsters think of is the poor children who are systematically violated and traumatized for their whole lives by people who stand in the place of Christ. The very FIRST thing a Catholic Christian should think of is the defense of

20+ years part of the problem, and this whackadoo thinks he’s the solution… Makes Ross Perot look temperate. I would be very hard put to choose between Obama and Ron Paul in Paul’s favor. He is a complete nut. “Ron Paul has won more votes in Iowa and New

After eight years the restoration of the town library building was finally completed and, after a decade in the works, the revision of the town’s harbor plan has been approved and is expected to be endorsed by the state. Those were two of the big storie

Tim Tebow is not an underdog. It's important to remind people of that every now and again because the established media narrative for Tebow these days is that no one ever believed in him, that he arrived on the Broncos' doorstep as an aborted three-month

Disproving once again the adage that there are no second acts in American life, disgraced preacher Jim Bakker has re-emerged. This time, sans toupee, he is on television peddling his own special brand of religion along with freeze-dried, emergency gourme
