Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is leading a class-action lawsuit with hundreds of thousands of Americans against President Barack Obama’s National Security Agency (NSA) over its spying on the American people, Breitbart News has learned. Sen. Paul will be discussing the lawsuit in an exclusive appearance on Fox News with host Eric Bolling at 10 PM ET on Friday. Breitbart News has learned that Paul will file the class action lawsuit soon in the D.C. District Court and that he will be filing it as an individual, not as a U.S. Senator. For a U.S. Senator to file a such a...

This is our dog. When he was three. He is part Boarder Collie, part Aussie and perhaps something else. Great and beautiful dog. Would love another one, same mix and coloring. Have not had any luck finding one. Our boy is getting old and we would love a new pup for him to train. Any one know of people who breed or have such a beauty? Yes, I know that the shelters have all sorts of wonderful dogs. But this is the kind of dog we are looking for. Chickensoup!!

So what are the Christmas plans? Trees and gifts and dinners? Restaurants? Movies? Working? Visitors or visiting? Warm places or cold? Merry, Merry Christmas to all! Much love, Chickensoup

First thread 2006 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1725379/posts Last thread November2013: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3096718/posts _____________________ Ok I finally bought a Tv. Bought it through Amazon and took out Amazon Prime. So far not impressed, difficult to navigate through the DVD player with no way to input what I want. Not impressive films that I can see and the new films are charged to my account. I am on their free thirty day trial. Input folks? What do you use for streaming? I do plan on getting Netflix mailed to me, but what else is there out there. So far I have a Blue Ray HD player,...

I don't know how to embed the video in the link but this important, and it is one of the issues that connects the Left and the Right which makes for a powerful combination. I think this is important. http://www.ted.com/talks/mikko_hypponen_how_the_nsa_betrayed_the_world_s_trust_time_to_act.html http://blog.ted.com/2013/11/07/reading-on-the-state-of-digital-privacy-nsa-surveillance/ http://blog.ted.com/2013/07/17/security-experts-on-the-nsas-real-problems/

The television question was solved last week. Freepmail me if you want to know the solution. New problem: I use over 3K oil and four cord wood to heat home and mil apt. The wood heats the main house. The oil heats a ground floor room, the mil and all the hot water. I have been thinking of distributing the system. Getting a propane hot water heater for the house, and two propane wood like heaters, one for the ground floor and one for the mil. Also get one of those big space ship looking tanks. Because at that size...

My last thread about TVs was published in 2006. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/1725379/posts I still have the 2k in the bank and still want to buy one I have been looking at the Sharp Aquos Quattron 3D 240 70" Model 757. Any opinions? Good Amazon ratings. How does one get it installed if purchased on the net? How does one pick a sound system, and I need a sound system with headphones because of a mild hearing deficit (What did he just say? Where are they going? Why did he kill her?) I am looking for a theatre-sort of experience at my low...

THE BOOK ON PAUL LEPAGE: The ‘biggest, baddest person around’ crashes Augusta’s ‘nicey-nicey’ club By: John Christie | ©Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting | October 23, 2013 the-book-LePage-header Jeff Pouland Photography LePage Bully "People think I’m a bully, but it’s just that I get a little offended when they get condescending."

Obamacare is the biggest regressive tax increase ever perpetrated on working people in this country. Regressive because wealthy people have a small bite taken out of their income compared to working and middle class people. Wealthy people will be able to fly places and get less expensive healthcare than the trapped workers here in the States. Powerful business owners will obtain more profits by shifting the burden of healthcare insurance over to the taxpayers. Regressive because every leftist constituency that has been able: has received a waiver so not to be trapped in this tax. Members of Congress have lobbied...

Just received a change to safe deposit box rules in the mail. I have the scan but do not know how to upload it: Permitted USES: Lessee shall use the safe deposit box for storage only of Lessee's items and for no other purpose and use.

Lessee further agrees not toe store any property that is inherently dangerous, malodorous, or destructive in nature. If any such item is stored...

Hillsborough deputies said Friday morning they'd tracked an assault and home invasion suspect to a stretch of woods north of 42nd Street and south of Amberly Drive in Tampa. A canine and a witness helped track the suspect into the woods. Officers said deep water in the wooded area is complicating the search, but added dogs can track through that obstacle. "The thing about the water is you've gotta come out somewhere," Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department Spokesman Major J.R. Burton said.

Net very slow here. Is it local or regional or national?

...The DOJ has placed its imprimatur upon a fantasy involving a legendary creature: the person of one sex trapped in the body of a person of another sex... ...We have created a rhetoric of “gender identity” that is disconnected from biological sexual fact, and we have done so largely in the service of enabling the sexual mutilation of physically healthy men and women (significantly more men) by medical authorities who should be barred by professional convention if not by conscience from the removal of healthy organs (and limbs, more on that later), an act that by any reasonable standard ought...

I am planning to move to one of the Christian Healthcare coops that are legal under Obamacare. It is not insurance but all of them have a pretty good reputation of paying the bills. However, since we seem to be ruled by despots these days instead of rational law, there is always the possibility that the government will make these coops illegal and if that is the case, I would be uninsured, and if I am unfortunate, I would owe the medicinal industrial complex a lot of money. The more I look at the Obamacare package and the direction of...

Please keep me in prayer this morning. Thank you. Chickensoup

OK, I put on some kid and stess pounds and need to lose it. The Slimfast diet always worked for me but now I am prediabetic and trying to lose metabolic syndrome weight. I need a meal replacer, preferable a powder that works like Slimfast with much less carbs. The ideal? Powder that blends with milk, low carb, medium protein and medium fat. Anyone?

Dozens of lawmakers and aides are so afraid that their health insurance premiums will skyrocket next year thanks to Obamacare that they are thinking about retiring early or just quitting. The fear: Government-subsidized premiums will disappear at the end of the year under a provision in the health care law that nudges aides and lawmakers onto the government health care exchanges, which could make their benefits exorbitantly expensive.

My son has an Xbox and plays with friends who are off-site as well as larger groups. He tells me there is often an Islamic in the larger groups who he and others talk to, and the conversations are about recruitment. They are sort of Islamic missionaries to young men in a pretty open venue. The conversations go private and the Islamics make their pitch. Any one else run into this?
