Wish I could post these ... hysterical!!
I too have a ancestral connection to England and was soooo Happy for their freedom, the people spoke.
My maternal grand-mother was from England.
My mom was just 15 mo. old when she died during the “Great Flu Pandemic of 1918” at the age of 26.
So needless to say, we never heard her story and how she arrived in the US.
Like you, I lurked for a long time before actually registering... and I came onboard in the 90's when the other Clinton was disgracing our nation.
You've come to the very best daily thread on FR. You'll get all the news of the day, and recipes, and jokes, and twitter updates... all with wonderful kind-hearted people.
Oh yes, and they'll need a lot of overflow space, too.
So, "How do I ask him?" might be asked ...
Once you know who has a ping list, you post a message to that person.
There are other ways to find a thread. I use the FR search function, and search for the keyword "trumprallytoday" to find the latest threads, if I don't see them otherwise. My personal preference is to NOT be on pinglists, which I do to keep my posting history as clean as possible. There is more than one way to skin the cat, as they say.
I'm not trying to discourage you from being on a ping list, by the way. In fact, added nikos1121 to the "To" field of this post, in effect "pinging" him to this message, which he may realize includes an "add me" request from ladybug56
"HELLO WORLD"!
You are too funny! LOL
Thanks for posting. That 2nd one is especially a doozy!
Just when one thought this election couldn’t get any more weird/interesting/fun:
Inmates Say Prison Made Them Watch Hillary Clinton’s Speech
Federal convicts told a judge they were forced to watch Hillary Clinton’s convention speech at the federal prison where they’re being held — but said the prison imposed a blackout on Donald Trump’s speech, tuning the facility’s televisions to other channels.
The felons are trying to join the federal case against President Obama’s 2014 deportation amnesty, saying that Mr. Obama is discriminating against U.S. citizens caught breaking the law by punishing them, even as he attempts to grant work permits and taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal immigrants.

I wonder if they dozed off or chanted “Lock Her UP!” ;-)
My mom was just 15 mo. old when she died....Not starting a war here, but....What?
Love it...how Trump is telling it like it is...and taking it to faux media.
We’ve all known, for a LONG time, that CNN is nothing more than an arm of the DNC/ILLary campaign.
When Trump tweets....he’s tweeting to MILLIONS.
You’re very welcome!
I think it’s really cute that your boys love music and each of them has different tastes - too fun!
Looks like she’s wearing the prism glasses....and that DocShot is right there, close by.
Yes I have been a reader here for a very long time and honestly have not found FR to be loaded with disinformation and falsehoods nor have a seen “herd instinct.” If I seen the majority of freepers “run down the trail based on falsehoods” I would not have continued to read or take the time to join and frankly don’t know why anyone who feels that way would. Of course the majority of people here agree on a lot of things since it is a site for like-minded conservatives. I have only read breaking news and latest articles so maybe it’s other places on the site.
Of course it is the internet so it’s a given that there will be trolls and/or people who just want to “stir the pot”
My profession is in the legal field so I definitely know how to research the truth and spot problem people
I am in Louisiana
I’m sorry you didn’t get to hear about it. Those stories can be a great family treasure.
My grandmother came over when she was 5 years old. She made the passage in May 1912. Everyone told her father that he was crazy to take his family across the Atlantic. The Titanic had just gone down the month before and the ocean was clearly too dangerous. My great-grandfather explained that it was, in fact, an unusually safe time to cross — everyone on ship (crew and passengers) were ceaselessly searching the horizon for danger. There weren’t going to be any surprises.
Lol - I blinked at that a couple of times too. Her mom was just 15 months old when HER (mom’s) mother died.
Thanks. I’m not a member of any other forums but this place seems like fun and informative.
Mine too. And as I said, the level of "distrust" warranted is a function of how important it is, to you, to be accurately informed on the subject.
I do independent research on maybe one in a thousand issues that I see.
Off the top of my head, a couple "common misconceptions" that pop up here are/were that Bush's firing of AG's was not unusual (it was - all modern presidents "fire them all" at the start of their first term. Tony Snow tried to lead people to conclude that firing at the start of a second term was the same thing); that the Scooter Libby case was about leaking (it was only about lying).
At any rate, all I'm trying to convey is encouragement to think independently; and if a subject really matters to your well being (which should be exceedingly rare!), do your own research.
I’ve dabbled in genealogy for years and have had my DNA tested. Am so proud of my British heritage. Hubby and I have visited a few times and the architecture is beyond belief! St. Paul’s, Hampton Court, The Tower, Westminster Abbey..... not to mention The British Museum...... oh man I’m ready for another visit and did I mention we have a photo album dedicated to pubs!!
