Ralph Lauren announced Monday it would not renew its sponsorship contract with Ryan Lochte, becoming the second company to drop the U.S. Olympic swimmer in the wake of his scandal in Rio de Janeiro. Earlier Monday, Speedo USA executives said the company would drop its sponsorship of Lochte and donate $50,000 to charity.

How long does it take to prep and fly a large plane? It is not trivial. What are the odds they would do all that for a 20 MILE flight. It would cost a fortune too. So. what seems more likely?

OR Her rumored medical condition flared up during flight so they immediately landed? The condition she is rumored to have is one that is supposed to prohibit...

In his book, “The Clintons’ War on Women,” high-profile Donald Trump campaign strategist and noted conspiracy theorist Roger Stone claims Chelsea Clinton — daughter of Democratic nominee Hillary and former-President Bill — had four plastic surgeries in order to look less like her biological father, Webb Hubbell.Promoting the book in what looks like a hotel banquet hall over the weekend, Stone reasons, “Hillary admits in her own book that a large football player-sized man taught her the proper way to hold a baby. Who could that be?”Hubbell — who was associate attorney general during Clinton’s presidency — played offensive tackle...

When I was a child, I associated "muslim"with Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan. As a teenager, I learned that Indonesia is the world's most populous muslim nation, and that only one in five muslims are Arab. As an adult, I have tended to associate Islam with Iran, which is overwhelmingly a Caucasian nation. In short, I have no racial profile for Islam. Islam is a religion, not a race. Race-baiting liberals like Paul Ryan and the fast-failing radio talker, Charlie Sykes, insist that any scrutiny of the practitioners of Islam is racist. This reveals their immature personalities; but, even more...

Dear Freeper Friends, Its been a long time since I have logged in and I hope you are all doing well. I would like to remind everyone that _No Polls Can Be Trusted!_ Please take a quick look at Clinton vs Dole as reference. One of our fellow Freepers managed to apply some math to an LA Times poll which showed something like 65% of respondents were women, and given the liberal tendency of many women the poll showing Dole losing by double-digits was hopelessly skewed. He used responses from other questions to derive his results showing the amount of...

After an apparently sleepless night for both divers – albeit for very different reasons – the two finished in last place in the women’s 10-meter synchronized platform dive, a performance described as "pathetic" by local outlets.... Blame it on Rio.

On August 22, Howe’s large army landed on Long Island, hoping to capture New York City and gain control of the Hudson River, a victory that would divide the rebellious colonies in half. On August 27, the Red Coats marched against the Patriot position at Brooklyn Heights, overcoming the Americans at Gowanus Pass and then outflanking the entire Continental Army. Howe failed to follow the advice of his subordinates and storm the redoubts at Brooklyn Heights, and on August 29 General Washington ordered a brilliant retreat to Manhattan by boat, thus saving the Continental Army from capture. At the Battle...

As questions rise about Rotten Crooked Hillary’s mental and physical stamina, her campaign is in full-scale prevarication mode on Thursday, trying to sell her critical health condition as “deranged conspiracy theories” while trying to divert attention from the truth; Crooked Hillary is now falsely alleging that Donald Trump is sick. Rotten Hillary’s lies were spewed likely due to the lying pundits stories on Wednesday, falsely claiming a shakeup in Trump’s campaign. The corrupt pundits are trying to support their trash journalism with allegations that the hiring of Stephen Bannon from Breitbart as its chief executive and the promotion of pollster...

The black stuff has also...

Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton in the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times "Daybreak" poll for the first time since Aug. 3 — the last day he had an edge on the former secretary of state. (see article for full text)

I'm not even going to quote from this story. You can link to it, if you want. I would like to say however, that the media is completely in an anti-Trump apoplecty recently, and people are sick of it.

As he seeks to revive his embattled candidacy, Donald J. Trump has seized on a new argument to rally his supporters and to explain away a possible defeat in November: that Democrats are preparing to exploit weak voter identification laws to win a “stolen election” through fraudulent voting. The claim has spurred outrage among Democrats, and has alarmed some Republicans who worry his tactics will backfire, angering minority voters and threatening the party’s chances in close races further down the ballot. Since 2010, Republican governors and Republican-held state legislatures have fought for stricter voter identification laws, which Democrats argue are...
