As we gaze in horror at what is before us with the Biden administration, there is, I hope, some encouragement in the way of deja vu. Since Biden is essentially Obama 2.0, we can, and will, expect him to operate in a similar fashion as President Trump's predecessor. The thing we need to remember is that there is quantifiable evidence about the success of Obama's policies, just as there are facts, figures, and statistics about how President Trump's policies fared.For instance, should President Sock Puppet decide to raise taxes as Obama did, we can point to the detrimental effect it...

Dear Penthouse Forum,I know that you won't believe what happened to me, and I know that I must be a one-in-a-million guy to have this occur, but last week I was standing in line at the airport...

Ok, Kids, since the POTUS (or Resident, or DOTUS, or whatever you want to call him) has insulted world leaders and embarrassed Us the People by giving stupid, inappropriate, juvenile gifts to world leaders, I thought I'd expand a bit and see what kind of other gifts he might possibly give in the future to world leaders who haven't been...blessed yet.To kick it off: A Homer Simpson Chia Pet to the Pope.

At last, women lash out at hip hop's abuses The most successful black women's magazine, Essence, is in the middle of a campaign that could have monumental cultural significance. Essence is taking on the slut images and verbal abuse projected onto black women by hip hop lyrics and videos. The magazine is the first powerful presence in the black media with the courage to examine the cultural pollution that is too often excused because of the wealth it brings to knuckleheads and amoral executives. This anything-goes-if-sells attitude comes at a cost. The elevation of pimps and pimp attitudes creates a...

I have an idea for a music video of sorts.It would be a montage of Middle-East-Islamofacist-bozo-cause damaged, set to the music of Cat Steven's (AKA Yusif Islam) "Peace Train." This video would include clips of people chanting, Twin Towers footage, Arafat, Hussein, Al-Qaida, murders, women in burkas, executions, pics of kids, even stills of the beheadings and other murders on the behalf of TROP. At the end would be a fade out, with the words, "Never forget. Never again. Bush/Cheney 04." Or something like that.I don't have the video chops or equipment to pull this off. Any takers?

Got this in the mail from an AF person. Woman who got the letter is a former Cadet herself, and she gave permission to forward it. After seeing the 20/20 piece on the USAFA situation, I wrote an email to some women cadets that I know. I received this response from one of them today, and forward it with her permission. I was relieved to get her perspective, which describes the USAFA I knew when I was there. After 20/20, I was concerned that I was out of touch, and that I attended so long ago that the place was...

Some parents I know are in a bind. Seems their kid, an A-student, #3 best runner on the track team, clean-cut, needed to use the can at school. He walked in to the bathroom and was confronted by some kids he knew who were doing pot. He stayed did his business and was chatting with them when the school gestapo broke in and took them all to the office. He had to fill out a "confession" which started off as being an "I didn't do it" and ended with a "OK, I took a couple of tokes." He and the ...

Hello, Freepers, especially those in the education field. I have heard from two different sources that there is legislation pending in Kalifornia that will require *all* teachers to join the NEA and its toady, the CTA. Does anyone know anything about this? Being a rabid non-unionite, the prospect of joining a group is akin to forcing a Jew to join the Nazis. I am also looking for information about the NEA and its (rotten to the) core beliefs. I've seen some things on Free Republic about their convention last year, and the many, many resolutions they passed which have NADA ...

Given that the Supremes have done Christian athletes in high schools a grave disservice by saying it's not OK to pray before games, I came up with an idea that might circumvent the court's boneheaded conclusion. Every town has (I hope) a Christian radio station. Such stations usually broadcast music and/or Bible studies and the like. Maybe these stations could devote half an hour on Friday afternoons to pray for the various games being played throughout towns. Two segments of fifteen minutes each, maybe the same one repeated, once for JV and again for Varsity. The prayers could be simple: ...

Before the day changes here on the west coast, let me be the first (I've not seen any posts like this today) to wish EVERYONE a Happy Hiroshima Day. For those of you who don't know, August 6, 1945 was the day the atomic bomb was dropped, thus speeding the end of World War 2. So demoralized was the Japanese government after the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that they surrendered, putting an end to hostilities that had gone on since 1939. For those of you who might be peeking in from the Japanese government, or those who might've fought ...

I live in California, home of Grey Davis and his happy efforts to make us like Australians by removing the defensive weapon of choice (a big gun) and replacing with a feather duster and the phone number of the local "Help, there's a criminal in my house" hotline. But waitaminnit. Aren't we Americans? Aren't we at the forefront of resiliance and innovation? Damn betcha we are! So it is with this in mind that I am trolling for Laser weapons. Something to take out anyone who might want to break in. Something that can be powered by a couple of ...
