Free Republic

I am just asking. How hard Is it to move a U.S. District Court from one location to another? It seems to me that at certain Federal District Courts democrats usually get a jury of their peers but republicans almost usually do not. A conservative president can appoint as many conservative judges as he is able, but if the jury pool is decidedly one-party then justice is never served. As long as these courts are centered in major cities that are about as blue as they can get, justice will always be weighed for one side over another simply for...

Could use some help please. I make a calendar every year for my dad that includes daily text entries to remind him of birthdays, but also has jokes and puns which he likes. I have always used the iPhoto calendar template in the past, but Apple no longer supports making calendars from iPhoto. Last year the Apple template was available but I had to order the calendar from Mimeo by sending them a PDF of my iPhoto calendar.. Mimeo has a calendar template but it limits text entries to maybe 20 words per date. I have searched all over but...

Sorry Dumb Question Time. I have started bookmarking certain Free Republic articles. But now I can't figure out how to find them. They are not in my account? Where would they be? Can't seem to find a link. Thanks

It's a simple question. If the worst imaginable comes to pass, should Trump attend Biden's inauguration ? Would attending the inauguration and shaking Biden's hand legitimize the shameful, sordid, and stolen election of 2020? If I were Trump I'd leave Washington in his helicopter the morning before the inauguration. There should absolutely not be any semblance of continuity and transfer of legitimate power. I would not give Biden or Harris or the democrat party or the media the satisfaction of any sense of legitimacy. I can already see the iniquitous smugness of the media throwing everything in Trump's face. This...

The Gospel According to John Roberts I’ve noticed that some ministers and parishioners have found ingenious ways to get around the Roberts’ 50 Limit Church Decree. It seems we still have the right of assembly ( in certain sanctified secular designations) if not full religious freedoms; so I have been scouring the internet and unearthed some cunningly crafty ways to get to ‘church’ on time and in full grandiose and resplendent numbers. There was the right reverend Billingsley of the We Save You More church taking his congregation down to the local Walmart store. He noticed that the paper towel...

I am in great need of advice although the problems are not earth-shattering. I am about to toss AT&T U=Verse to the four winds. U-Verse is the absolute Verst! I liked AT&T Direct TV ok, but rates really skyrocketed after my contract ran out. I have never tried DISH TV and was hoping I could get reactions from Freepers who have tried it and be good enough to let me know what they think of it. How was the DISH service in particular? I don't have any neighbors who have DISH TV or know of anyone who does which makes...

I'm not sure if anyone here has started a list yet of the stupidest and craziest and non-sensical lockdown rules and edicts handed down by the tyrannical despots over the past 3 months or more; but I'd like to start one. And if you know, give the state or city which mandated the rule. Thanks. I will start it off with No Singing in Churches in Minnesota mandated by governor Walz. Only to be bettered by his own mayor in Minneapolis where everyone 2 and older must wear a mask. One other thing I can't understand is when President Trump...

Is anyone else having problems downloading podcasts from Rush Limbaugh's app for the iPhone? I am a subscriber to Rush's program, but his app does not download the daily podcasts onto my iPhone 6 Plus. software version 12.4.5 I can download Howie Carr, Car Talk, and any other podcast on another 3rd party app called Podcasts. Premier Radio Service is the worst customer service I have ever encountered. They don't respond for days. One guy sent me an email with his phone number but he is never at his desk to take my calls. Another guy wrote me that they...

I found this great summary of the Russian Collusion story written in German at www.theepochtimes.de https://www.epochtimes.de/politik/welt/fisa-und-numes-memos-wie-hochrangige-obama-beauftragte-gegen-trump-agierten-a2338538.html It would be a great reference to send to any German speaking friends you have. Our German friends most likely do not get this kind of summation in Das Bild or Der Spiegel. I have tried to decipher it into English so that you have an idea of what you are sending. It is interesting that the German version goes into fuller detail than the English rendition on The Epoch Times. They even had a bit of fun with Obama talking about him discovering...

I just watched the TV documentary (American Standoff) about the Oregon Standoff and occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Burns, Oregon, and I am still sick to my stomach. Not living out west, I did not realize that Dwight Hammond and his son Steve were still in jail for this travesty of justice. A good man named LaVoy Finicum was killed by the feds in the standoff. The Ruby Ridge feds were at it again. As i understand it, Trump talked about this situation during his campaign. I am incensed that he still has not pardoned the Hammonds. The...

It is unfortunate that one political party is anti-military, anti-family, anti-religion, anti-responsibility, anti-white, anti-male, anti-business, anti-capitalism, anti-America first, anti-law and order, anti-police, anti-strong judicial sentencing, anti-death penalty, anti-free speech, anti-2nd Amendment, anti-property rights, anti-science, anti-dignity in death, anti-right to life, anti-merit, anti-flag, anti-history, anti-achievement, anti-wealth, anti-assimilation, anti-due process, anti-parenting, anti-decency, anti-drug enforcement, anti-institutionalization of mentally ill, anti-citizen, etc. and one wonders what has changed since we were young and why society is broken. The above is part of a test I am working on to give a liberal friend of mine. If anyone has any further "anti" descriptors for the...

Let's make this happen. We have to make it happen.

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, so thought I'd remind one and all. At the second Trump-Clinton debate, Anderson Cooper was a moderator. Trump missed a golden opportunity to really take one to the media. The liberal media is having a ball with Trump's use of the "P" word. But Anderson Cooper had his "P" moment too on live television. I would have loved to see Anderson's face and the media reaction had Trump reminded the national audience that in 2013 during the New Year's Eve countdown in Times Square on CNN, Kathy Griffin ( not Kathy Lee Griffin )...

In a fair, one-tiered world, Hillary Clinton would have been indicted for espionage. Yet, I don't know anyone who actually believed it would happen. Neither did James Comey. FBI Director Comey did the next best thing however. He tried and, for all purposes, convicted Hillary Clinton for the public record. He could have just slipped the case in a manila envelope to the corrupt Obama Justice Dept. where it would have died a silent exonerative death. No details would have ever been revealed as relentlessly damning as the first 15 minutes of Comey's recitation of facts. It would just be...

Free Republic is so schizophrenic and rabid over Trump vs Cruz will it eat its own if the ticket out of Cleveland is Trump-Cruz or Cruz-Trump ?

Drudge Headline Gives one pause. STUDY: Smoking marijuana causes early puberty, stunts growth... Boys 'four inches shorter'... That's a lot to give up for a bud or blunt. Good headline for dads to show their teen age boys. From the Telegraph: "Boys who smoke cannabis 'are four inches shorter'"

Sign me up for a crying room if we get Obama-redux in 2016. Japan is already bracing for Progressive Doomsday. Sure we got campus Safe Zones but nothing like the comfy cozy niches that Japan offers the weak-kneed, faint of heart, reality-averse denizens of the new millennium. I might even need a cuddle cafe to calm my nerves. There are even exciting extra cost optionals allowing you to lock eyes with and hair-stroke your lady cuddlemate. Or I can wander into the Owl Cafe where I can be soothed by fluttering birds or go to Maidreamin where pretty girls dressed...

First it was Net Neutrality; will the demise of FM radio come next ? Norway will be switching off FM radio as of 2017 as part of its transition to digital airwaves, DAB. Norway will save $25 million without the FM spectrum making it possible to add 20 or more "national" stations to its digital offerings. Other Scandinavian countries as well as the UK are planning to abandon FM by 2022. For the consumer it means having to buy a new DAB radio which will no doubt soon be given free by Dear Leader along with your phone, toaster and...

I am trying to set up a system for my bedridden and hard of hearing aunt so that she can hear her beloved chimes in her backyard. The chimes are heavy mothers. Has anyone set up a system in their backyard to hear birds and sounds of nature and piped it into their house? I ordered and tried a product called Nature's Window NW3 monitor. I sent it back as it had a defect and for $350 probably had about $50 worth of electronic parts. On the internet I found lots of microphones and naturist setups geared for recording purposes....

I thought I might inform the German Freepers about a web-blog called The Schnitzel Republic. http://schnitzelrepublic.blogspot.com/ It is the closest I've come to finding a Free Republic in Germany. It is run by an American military retiree who now resides in Wiesbaden. It is primarily an essay site of his random thoughts on current events going on in Germany. He is also a bit of a history buff. One can post comments, but there is very little activity on his site unfortunately. But it is informative to get his perspective on German and EU events. It is a good place...
