Can I livestream Tucker Carlson this week? I am not subscribed, online at an Airbnb. thanks

Just back from a road trip following the Lewis & Clark Expedition. I had queried FR before we left for 'must see' so wanted to follow up. #1 - We saw Trump signs everywhere!! We left from LA, visited friends in Idaho, then headed east through: Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, and home. Not a Biden sign to be seen! It was very encouraging, especially being here in the Occupied Territories. We saw more folks wearing masks than I had expected, but perhaps that was bc we were either in motels or at National Park...

Lewis & Clark Trail road trip will include some Pony Express sites. Some FReeper lives in Marysville, KS, by Stop #1, if I recall. (Are you still here?)

We are Trail Nuts. We head next week to follow some of the Lewis & Clark/ Pony Express/ Oregon Trails. We'll spend most of our time in Wyoming, the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Kansas, returning to LA via Colorado. Any historic sites that are imperative to see? Any 'don't bothers'? We'll also be taking day hikes. Any warnings re masks in these parts? Needing a taste of freedom after too much time in Commie California. Thanks

Flat out lies levelled at President exposed by AP Democrats / NYT are blaming President Trump for the spread of the Coronavirus to the US, despite the fact that he presided over enhanced border controls and blocking flights from infected areas weeks ago. The AP noted that both Bloomberg and Biden are flat out wrong in claims that Trump cut resources for the CDC and NIH. The fact check report states: Democratic presidential contenders are describing the federal infectious-disease bureaucracy as rudderless and ill-prepared for the coronavirus threat because of budget cuts and ham-handed leadership by President Donald Trump. That’s...

Sorry - Just a personal query. A few weeks back, some FReeper mentioned 'My wife is a pharmacist; she will not let me use statins." I have no idea how to find out who/ when -- but would love to chat briefly with the person who posted. Thanks

Eric Holder was hired by the State of California to represent them in any legal fights against Donald J. Trump. This followed Xavier Becerra's appointment in December 2016 by Governor Jerry Brown, following Kamala Harris's election to the US Senate. He will be paid $25,000 A MONTH by the State of California. LOS ANGELES — Girding for four years of potential battles with President-elect Donald J. Trump, Democratic leaders of the California Legislature announced Wednesday that they had hired Eric H. Holder Jr., who was attorney general under President Obama, to represent them in any legal fights against the new...

Gathering info here on DNA tests. Good ones/ those to avoid? Feedback? thanks. I've been doing genealogy for some time; cousin got the test and I am curious.

I am really upset by Facebook's (et al!) censorship of conservative voices, and of SPLC or whatever it is being the 'lens' through which they judge. I think a nation-wide boycott for one week would send a message. Thoughts??

I have been getting marketing calls in Chinese for the last few weeks. Not recognizing the number, I answer it (I know, not good!). Get a tape in Chinese. Block the call on my iPhone. Blocking seems to have put me on a great deal more phone lists; the calls have proliferated - some are local numbers, some DC. Feedback??

I'd like to see the same care given to Bill Clinton's MANY victims and Obama's Guy Flings as has been given to Smokey Baby. Obviously they are interested in getting the Truth out, no?? Maybe the National Enquirer could handle the interviews, since all of this belongs there AND they seem to be the only ones capable of finding the Truth in a haystack.

Feedback on the new shingles vaccine? I usually lie low on medical treatment and don't go for 'the latest' treatment on much of anything. But then, I am healthy. Any feedback about this new vaccine? Side-effects? Avoid it? Go for it? Just collecting data here, thanks.

We are still catching up on NCIS, binge-watching. Last night MICHELLE OBAMA reared her ugly mug in a cameo - someone was receiving an award at the White House. It was like having cold water tossed on me. I was so disgusted to find her THERE. I hope she's not on again, going forward. I think we are in Season 13 or so.

Anyone else feeling a little clamp-jawed at the new Princess Meghan Markle's feeling so free to diss President Trump publicly, from London? And now I read that she and Harry really like the Obamas and want them at their wedding. I think it is tacky and it is certainly not gracious or polite. I bet she has a pussy hat.

The president of Catolonia has now taken back his illegal declaration of independence. If he didn't, he would have been arrested or the government would have sent in the national guard. Anyway, now he wants to negotiate over the next two weeks. Here in Madrid, everyone is annoyed with Catalan, there are Spanish flags hanging everywhere which mean that they want unity. Most people here think Catalan is acting very stupid. I don't usually contribute my opinion about it because I don't know enough about the history. But my roommate sais that Catalan is not perfect, they are not innocent...

Barcelona’s strong ties to radical Islam A quarter of those arrested in Spain for having jihadist ties in recent years were in Catalonia. By GIULIA PARAVICINI 8/18/17, 8:44 PM CET Updated 8/20/17, 12:57 PM CET The choice of Barcelona as a target for terrorists came as little surprise to security experts in Spain and elsewhere in Europe because of Catalonia’s links to jihadists and Salafism, a radical form of Islam. Catalonia has been the main hub of jihadist recruitment in Spain for more than a decade and radical Islamists consider it to be occupied land that should be part of...

BARCELONA, Spain — As authorities hunted the driver who plowed into a crowd in the Catalan capital, Barcelona, some have expressed concern that the region's large Muslim population puts it at particular risk from Islamic extremism. An ISIS-affiliated news agency said the terror group took responsibility for the van atrocity, which killed 13 people including an American, and for related attacks that have rocked the area since Thursday. Police believe they have dismantled a terror cell, and have raided an apartment belonging to a Muslim cleric. The father of two of the suspected terrorists involved in the attacks said his...

A successful push for independence in the Spanish autonomous region of Catalonia would lead to the establishment of a country with the third-largest percentage of Muslims in Western Europe, just behind France and Belgium, and far ahead of Britain and Germany. An independent Catalonia, with its capital in Barcelona, would also be home to the largest concentration of radical Islamists in Europe; it would emerge as ground-zero for Salafi-Jihadism on the continent and become one of the top incubators for Islamist terrorism in the West. Catalonia, historically one of the wealthiest and most industrialized regions of Spain, has harbored a...

Just curious for some feedback - CERT volunteers marched in our little Independence Day parade. They offer a course in 'emergency preparedness training.' Seems like a good thing, but I'd like to hear from folks who know. thanks

Did anyone else hear Rush just now? He was talking about the Wienie Republicans in Congress - why aren't they fighting to protect Trump? Someone told him that they were sure that Trump will be impeached, and they are waiting for Pence. They don't want to line up with Trump and then be black-listed.
