Trump has questioned whether the FBI could review 650,000 emails in one week. Comey's most recent letter to Congress makes it clear that they in fact did not do so. Comey claimed in his letter that the FBI reviewed every email on Wiener's laptop that was to or from Hillary Clinton. One can infer from that comment that they did not review emails to or from Huma that used her address from Clinton's server? Why did the FBI not review these emails? If they contained classified information, as they most probably did, would that not be further evidence that, when...

When you vote on Tuesday, remember. Remember the weakest economic recovery, and the longest sustained period of unemployment over 8%, in at least 67 years. Remember the long-term unemployed (those out of work for 27 weeks or longer). As of November 2, 2012, there were five million of them. Remember six trillion dollars in new debt—debt that will burden our children and grandchildren—that has been incurred over the last four years. Remember the lowest workforce participation rate since 1983. Remember “Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.” Barak Obama, January 17, 2008, San...

Barack Obama's instrusions on the constitutional powers of Congress, his failure to fulfill his own constitutional duties, and his willingness to sign legislation which includes provisions which violate the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution render him unfit to serve as President.

In the August 28 edition of The Hill, Juan Williams asserts that claims by the President's cxampaign that Mitt Romeny is a felon who has not paid taxes in years and who caused the death of a steelworker's wife are morally equivalent to signs at the Republican Convention which display the phrase "We Built It."

My ex sent me the following joke: The mayor of a Greek town visited the mayor of an Italian town. When he saw the palatial mansion belonging to the Italian mayor, he wondered how he could afford such a house. The Italian said: "You see that bridge over there? The EU gave us a grant to build a two-lane bridge, but by building a single lane bridge with traffic lights at either end, this house could be built."The following year the Italian visited the Greek mayor's town. He was simply amazed at the Greek Mayor's house, which was even more...

I just sent the following email to all of my contacts who I believe to conservatives. Please consider sending this or a similar email to all of your conservative contacts:Dear Friends:147 years ago this month, Abraham Lincoln described our government as being of the people, by the people, and for the people. Tomorrow we have the right to assert the control of which Lincoln spoke by exercising our franchise. Millions have fought to preserve that right. Many among them, including my father, served our country more than once during perilous times.Please honor them and your franchise by voting tomorrow.Regards,p. henry

A winnable contest. Please get out and vote, my fellow Californians.

It has just been announced that the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, which has already spent the maximum allowed ($4.8 million) in coordinated expenditures on Carly's campaign, will be spending $3 million in independent expenditures on Carly's behalf during the last week of the campaign. It has also just been announced that Carly is loaning her campaign $1 million more of her personal funds.These significant commitments indicate to me that the California Senate seat is very much in play.If at this late stage you have any cash which remains available for candidates in the mid-term elections, please consider Carly's campaign.

A brilliant piece of work that captures the essence of my Senator

If Fiorina beats Boxer, liberalism will suffer a grievous defeat.

Whether Dodd-Frank will prevent or even reduce the likelihood of another financial panic remains to be seen. However, it is clear now that, like the stimulus bill and the healthcare bill, it contains a number of provisions that have little to do with its stated goals.

During each of her last two campaigns for the United States Senate, first against the outspoken conservative Bruce Herschenson and then against the mild mannered moderate Matt Fong, Barbara Boxer depicted her opponent as an extremist out of touch with mainstream American voters and their values. However, a review of votes cast by Mrs. Boxer in the Senate and of recent poll results indicates that it is she who has moved far from the views of most Americans. 1. Cap and Trade. Senator Boxer has been a sponsor of the Senate’s version of cap and trade legislation, which was originally...

...the Democrats under Mrs. Pelosi added significantly more to the national debt in less than four years than the Republicans did in the preceding 12 years.

I wrote the following letter to my Congresscritter. Please feel free to plagiarize. As your constituent, I write to urge you to vote against Waxman-Markey. While its potential benefits are at best remote, its deleterious effects would be certain.For it to be of any benefit to the nation, ALL of the following would have to be true: It would have to result in a reduction in the output of carbon dioxide by the United States; the models that show that a significant increase in golbal temperatures would result from increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would have to...

Fellow Freepers: It occurs to me that this election may well feature a turnout that in numbers, composition, and disposition may well be unique in our history. For this reason, and for good or ill, we should be wary of early calls based on exit polls. With that in mind, I have slightly modified "Jabberwocky." The new title would be: Matthewswocky. Beware the Exit Polls, my son!The lies that bite, the dreams that catch!Beware the Early Call,And shun the frumious Olbersnatch! He took his voting pen in hand:Long time the manxome foe he sought --So rested he by the polling...

My Dear Fellow Freepers: My daughter is in the middle of her college semester abroad. I sent her a letter about the election and now share it with you. Dear Courtney: It occurs to me that your host family or others you meet during your semester abroad may be interested in our Presidential election and that much of what they read and hear about it is produced by a media that is to say the least heavily biased in favor of one of the candidates. So, to help you help them see things from a perspective not shared by the...

Okay, we've all read enough postmortem articles by now to understand the liberal spin on the election. W won by appealing to a bunch of middle-aged, white, evangelical, bigoted, paranoid, ignorant, ill-educated, under-informed denizens of small town America.I walked precincts for W. I manned my own personal phone bank for him. I spent huge amounts of time drafting an article for him and started a chain mailing of it by blasting it to my personal email list of over 1200 contacts (some of whom were not amused). My 15-year old daughter's editorial in support of W was published on National...

Some time ago, a friend of mine whose political views I do not always share, but whose intelligence and opinions I respect, published an article in the San Diego Earth Times. This article seemed quite harsh in its criticism of W's environmental policies, so I decided to do some research and, if necessary write a response. In doing the research, it seemed to me that much of the substance and some of the style of the article was derived from the New York Times. The author of the article later told me that the primary source of the article was...

President Bush has evidenced his personal strength and ability to lead the United States in more than one way. Some years ago, when Laura Bush told him he could either continue to abuse alcohol or continue to be married to her but that he could not continue to do both, he was strong enough in character to choose his family over his addiction. The President has also been willing to pursue a foreign policy, especially in Iraq, that is disliked by many people and has severely threatened his political career, because he believes that it is in the best interests...
