Just curious - Giuliani came out swinging in the 2020 election fraud and is now bankrupt. Has anyone heard about his recent relationship with Trump? I haven't seen much on the subject.

The chain of command is:CIC (President Trump)Secretary of Defense (Christopher Miller)Secretary of the Army (Ryan McCarthy)Chief of the National Guard Bureau (Daniel R. Hokanson)There are stories that VP Pence was instrumental in sending the National Guard to DC.Personally, I imagine it might have gone something like this:President Trump: "Hmmm. DC is requesting the National Guard? Well let's send them.""... no, 1,000 isn't enough. 3,000? No, send 10... make that 15,000!""Troops they want, troops they'll get!"

“I know hardly anyone, let alone any evangelical Christian who voted for Trump," Galli said, according to the piece. "I describe evangelicals like me as ‘elite’ evangelicals … and this class of evangelicals has discovered that we have family members so different they seem like aliens in our midst. These other evangelicals often haven’t finished college, and if they have jobs (and apparently a lot of them don’t), they are blue-collar jobs or entry-level work ...They are deeply suspicious of mainstream media. A lot of them voted for Donald Trump.”

I have yet to figure out why the Russians would help Trump get elected. The Mueller report says that a Russian businessman with "close ties" to Putin ran some ads on social media to help Trump get elected. Thus "the Russians" interfered with our election. The report is silent about any foreign ads to help Hillary. Did those happen too? If so, what was the scale compared to the Trump ads? Nothing in the report. If the Clintons can be bought, why wouldn't the Russians want Hillary to get elected?

Trump removed the military transportation for her junket. But did she go anyway?

When he was shot in June, there was a lot of talk from members of Congress of all stripes calling for the kind of unity we witnessed Thursday.

A professional clown claims his business in and around New York City has dropped because of the marketing around the horror clown movie "It."  John Nelson, who runs Clowns in Town with a partner, says his business has gotten several cancellations in the last couple of weeks, and he's blaming the supernatural horror movie for scaring the public. ...

I don't watch TV news, but I want to watch the inauguration on Friday. What station should I watch? Thanks Freepers!

Why is this such a huge issue? We should keep track of the turncoats.

Donald Trump cleared up one thing in his speech in Charlotte, North Carolina, last night: he is running to win. Throughout this very odd election cycle, some pundits have periodically suggested that Trump wasn't serious in his run for the presidency. First, it was said that he got into the race simply to garner publicity, to burnish his "brand." He himself, it was said, was surprised that he did so well in the primaries. When it became clear that he was poised to win the nomination, the story changed slightly. Now, he was said to be playing the buffoon because...
