    Jeep Fans? Freeper Husbands! I am Thinking of Buying a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara. I like the vehicle, it is big for me, I am moving from my Golf Diesel. Although I have had Xterras and Mazda MPV (Before they ruined its design) previously. I looked at many new cars and SUV crosses and they all are poorly designed, have lousy visibility and have metal that is so thin it needs to be serviced every few months. I also discovered I need a more butch looking vehicle. All the Suv crossovers look like they were made for Oprah. Teardrop shapes...

    Looking back on a Chicago childhood in the 1940s I was at a pro-life meeting in Detroit in the late 1970s, with a biologist debunking the “population problem.” He pointed out that if everyone in the world moved to Texas, there would be 1,500 square feet for every man, woman, and child. That was the size of the footprint of his house in San Francisco. Texas, with that influx of population, would still be less dense than San Francisco; and San Francisco had many open places for parks and tennis courts. When it was my turn to speak, I remarked...
  • The Marginalization of Trump and Conservatism: A Continuing Alinsky Tactic

    Noticing that the vitriol against conservatives and their leadership has biome entrenched and permissible. Lot of moral preening and leftist activities to continue to make conservatives fearful or embarrassed to support the causes they believe in, not because there is a problem with the ideas and causes, but because conservatives are fearful of physical harm or property damage. This needs to stop and conservatives need to seize the narrative, they way that Trump did throughout the pre-election cycle. For example Barney Frank ( and why is he still above ground with a microphone?) just claimed that Trump thought that Scalia...

    I am not much of a shopper. This weekend due to circumstances I did something I rarely ever do, I shopped at several mall stores in several locations. One thing I noticed right away was the change of the music in all the stores I was in. Christian and secular tunes abounded together. Silent Night, O Come O Come Emmanuel, Come Oh Ye Faithful, Whose Child is This all rocked at the mall. The clerks said Merry Christmas. There were Christmas trees and signs saying Merry Christmas. Macy's, Babies are Us, and Wal-Mart were among the stores I shopped. It...

    I have a 2013 Golf TDI Diesel that I have a strong option to give back to Volkswagen. I have been waiting for the election because I have a feeling that Clinton will continue the leftist policies of crawling up gas prices. However, I have been looking for a car, just in case. My goodness! Everything out there is chock full of electronics that will make them obsolete soon. Everything out there looks like a shiny, overgrown bug. I think I need something a bit more more butch-looking. I look longingly at jeep wranglers, but I am told that they...

    The following is adapted from a speech delivered on July 11, 2016, at Hillsdale College’s Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship in Washington, D.C., as part of the AWC Family Foundation Lecture Series. In the Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels wrote that “the history of all hitherto existing societies is the history of class struggles.” Today the story of American politics is the story of class struggles. It wasn’t supposed to be that way. We didn’t think we were divided into different classes. Neither did Marx. America was an exception to Marx’s theory of social progress....

    Trump Camp Needs to Blow Off Accusations as More Democrat Lies like the Governor Perry debacle when he was indicted by a Democrat AG and it derailed his election. Also like the accusations about Bush in the last weeks of his campaign. And any others that can be thought of. Clinton cannot run on substance so she runs on lies. Pound down how she lies and how the people who work for her lie. over and over. The only direct response to the allegations is: Of Course it's not true. over and over. Just like a lawyer. Just like Clinton....
  • What is Wrong with Clinton's Outfits? Looks Like a Moslim without the Hat

    What is wrong with Hillary Clinton's outfits? I have noticed that she seems to go for the pants under dress and pants under long skirt look favored by the local modern Moslims (I use the word Moslims deliberately, it is the old spelling). At first I thought the outfits were designed to hide figure flaws or medical equipment, but the more I look at them the more I wonder whether there may be a religious component or a signaling to her Moslim Saud owners by wearing what no Western woman would ever wear in public. Your thoughts?

    Thank you, Phoenix. I am so glad to be back in Arizona, a state that has a very special place in my heart. I love the people of Arizona and, together, we are going to win the White House in November. Tonight is not going to be a normal rally speech. Instead, I am going to deliver a detailed policy address on one of the greatest challenges facing our country today: immigration. I have just landed having returned from a very important and special meeting with the President of Mexico – a man I like and respect very much, and...

    Is there a Moterhead ping list? So, the Soup owns one of those baaaad TDi's that the EPA want off the road. The choice is for the Soup to give it back, pay off TDI loan and have about 11K to buy another vehicle. Or wait until they announce a fix within 2 years have it fixed and walk away with 5100 probably taxable dollars. The TDI gets 50 to the gallon and is in good shape, 2013 golf standard transmission. Another factor is it has the famous Tadaka Airbag. I like the diesel and I like the power and...

    So, the powers that be run the media. They determine what gets published, who gets funneled elite payola, (example, unknown Obama was given book contracts while still a student at Harvard) and who gets ignored in the media world. All of a sudden books slamming Clinton are popping up like dandelions all over the media. Telling stories that freepers have known for the past 20 years and that we have not been able to get any traction on for all those years. All of a sudden these stories are front page news. Why? The elite want to get rid of...

    The Best of Memorial Day to All. This is a day off in a very busy schedule. I have been searching for a FrontPage website programmer to work with me, but all I find is legacy information about FrontPage. I KNOW I need to change platforms, but right now I need to use the platform I have. I am selling my columns nationally and need the website to back up the sales. When I have the resources, I will change things. Is there any way I can search for FrontPage Programming? Is there any group that I can find who...

    Have a need to use my rickety old website. It is a 200 page FrontPage monster which has been sitting out at my ISP for quite a few years with little updating. I have recently been approached about restarting my column nationally. Am so excited! I would like to use the webpage as the vehicle and realize that it will need to be upgraded. I run WIN7. There is no extension left for Frontpage and the software currently does not recognize the website, there isn't even a screen to put in the username and code. The ISP states that FTP...
