Free Republic

What were private citizens Joe and Hunter Biden selling to the Chinese for bribes in 2017?

When will a group of Republican US Senators insist on meeting John Fetterman? To wish him well, give him some flowers, whatever. Just to see what the response is and to watch the Dems circle wagons and the media show outrage. If they wait until August to reveal that he is in a vegetative state and incapable of executing his duties as a U.S. Senator, then the Democrat governor of PA gets to pick Fetterman’s replacement for the balance of his six year term. If this is disclosed before August there has to be an election, which a Democrat would...

This meme being pushed in the media of the Ukraine/Russia being a new Cuban missile crisis is a hail Mary pass by the Biden administration to paint him as a Kennedy’esq figure to save his presidency. If there is no nuclear attack (likely, hopefully) he gets credit (from the media and leftists) for the greatest diplomatic achievement of the century in averting the destruction of humanity by working tirelessly behind the scenes as the greatest and smartest president that ever lived! If they (Russia) actually do it, Biden declares marshal law, no elections, total government control for the good of...

We Are Doomed.

Is it about time to adopt our enemy’s tactics or are we going to watch our republic fall as we continue being the ‘good guy’? Publish the names and home addresses of everyone who has been involved in this fiasco of an election so we can send them strongly worded letters.

Are we witnesses to a historic paradigm shift? Have we been conquered by complacency? Would we be the first to think ‘This can’t happen here? ‘Did most Russians think they would fall prey to control of the bolsheviks? No. Were most people in Cambodia oblivious to Pol Pot’s revolution? Yes, until they were rounded up and killed because they could read or wore glasses.. Did anyone in North Korea get a vote on how life should be? It will start with the disappearances of the conservative voices we listen to. Eventually it will be the shaming and persecution of any...

The usual race hustlers like Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson have been conspicuously silent this election cycle. Any thoughts on why?

They will execute the ‘Night of The Long Knives’ if they can ‘show’ they ‘won’.

The Dems must have seen their internal polling on the newly adopted ‘Defund The Police’ meme and are desperately trying to rebrand it as ‘Reform The Police’. Make them own the monster they’ve created.

These riots (not protests) spreading across the country, are fueled by Soros money and Antifa people. The violence is getting so broad spread that even dems are getting nervous about the backlash and trying to paint the protests as being directed by white supremacist right wingers and Trump supporters. Black ‘leaders’ are starting to disavow the protesters due to the backlash. A perfect time for President Trump to declare Antifa a domestic terrorist group and any leftist or democrat that disagrees will have to explain why they shouldn’t be designated so and instead say it is simply the fault of...

With the exception of minimal lip service, the Obamas will distance themselves from the 2020 election as it becomes clearer and clearer that it will be a blow out for Trump. Joe will offer her the VP slot to save his bid, but they (the Obamas) know Biden will loose and her being on his ticket will taint her forever. Staying off it will leave her open to a 2024 run.

Apologies if this has been hypothesized before. The Democrats know that impeachment in the senate is a no win for them at this point. Their own internal polls show dropping support among most but their radical supporters. A fair trial in the senate would expose their malfeasance for all to see and expose them to committing perjury under oath. Any attempt to stifle exculpatory evidence or contradictory testimony would be exposed for the world to see. They want to drag this on as long as possible so that when RGB passes, they can hop on the ‘unacceptable for a President...

I’m almost 60 and have had a full head of obsidian hair all my life. It started thinning out about a year ago. I quit using shampoo about a month ago (just rinsing and scrubbing with hot water) and it has started to grow back in and thicken (caveman like, LOL). I know a lot of it is genetics, but makes me wonder if the chemicals in the modern shampoos and soaps are screwing us up genetically. Anyone had any similar experiences.

The birthright citizenship comments by President Trump are being met with the expected outrage by the media and Democrats (same thing, I know). He continues to play them like a cheap fiddle. They’re outraged that he would dare to upend the 14 amendment of the constitution. How dare he!! Who does he think he is, a king??!!! After being on record defending the constitution, they are forced to show themselves for the hypocrites they are, yet once again, because of... the 2nd amendment.

It’s going to be a Biden/Kamala ticket. Biden may pick Michele Obama as his running mate as well. If Kamala softens any criticism of Joe, you’ll know they’re already talking. Thoughts?

We have a property that abuts at the back onto a busy 2 lane thoroughfare (one direction each way) that is being expanded to 4 lanes (2 each way). Currently have a wooded barrier of about 30 feet deep which reduces the noise dramatically. Plus I put a wooden fence against an existing chain link fence to blunt the noise and give privacy. while I understand the need for the expansion (I use the road often and know expansion is necessary) I want to be compensated fairly as well. I’m going to lose about half of my backyard, including a...

Make the Washington elites of both parties live and work on the border states. I know it will never happen, but these guys live and work in gentrived neighborhoods where they are never directly exposed to the impact of illegal immigration.

I just saw parts of the Roy Orbison Hologram concert. It hit a personal note with me and I’m going to make an effort to see it in person. When I was 14, my next door friend’s mom ((who I had a major crush on, the mom, not the friend) gave me a stack of old 45 rpm records. The first one I listened to was ‘Blue Angel’ by Roy. I fell in love with oldies after that. I can’t even remember any one of the other records in the stack. Ten years later, I was working in Toronto and...

About five years back I was working on a contract for a client and myself and several co-workers would stop at a local bar a couple of times a week after work for a couple of beers (Cheers kind of place). They had some staff that had been there for years but turnover with some other staff. I went out to join one of the recent new hires for a cigarette (yes, I know, filthy habit) outside the bar. It was December and cold and she was wearing a tank top. After some casual conversation I noticed she was shivering....

My son just sent me a text of Executive Order 13768. This calls for the deportation of anyone accused or convicted of any crime who is not a born US citizen. I have a Green Card, but had a road side DUI in 2011. I paid a fine and took the mandatory Delaware course. No issues prior to then or since. I have been eligible to apply for citizenship for a few years. It took 10 years and $15K to get our green cards legally. I was waiting to see if Hillary won, in which case I did not want...
