Free Republic

Why in the hell do we have 17 security agencies? With all of these security agencies guarding us, how in the hell did Russia (or anyone else) break in to our government servers? Are these agencies incompetent or what? And in particular, why was our state department's servers so vulnerable to hackers? Is this a sample of how a president Hillary will secure our nation's secrets?

I have never done a vanity before, but I think this is important. This is regarding the 10/15-10/18 IPSOS poll. This poll was notable for it's very unbalanced sample - +18% Dems, but there's something wrong with the numbers themselves in the poll, which I will demonstrate below. The poll had 1,032 respondants. They broke down as 434 Democrats, 346 Independents, and 252 Republicans. Hillary's overall support was reported as 42%. This implies a total of 433 respondants supported Hillary. Going deeper into the party breakdown, the poll reopts Hillary's support as 83% among Democrats, 32% among Independents, and 3%...

Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! These same Pundiots who have been wrong all election are quoting the same polls which have been off by as much as 15% and are sure Trump has lost this time. This is a classic example of how the Three Pillars of Propaganda (media, academia and the DNC) works to convince the American people of another falsehood. The key to the entire fraud is to learn to lie with conviction and we are...

The God-hating, constitution-hating, capitalism-hating judges Hillary will appoint are worse, infinitely worse, than anything they can possibly accuse (much less prove) Trump of doing or saying. Her goal will be to curtail/destroy religious freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of association, the right to keep and bear arms, economic freedom and the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. She comes right out and admits that Christians will just have to change their beliefs. She has stated that she wants to bankrupt coal, gas and oil... regulate them out of business. And the same with all industries that use...

2 Peter 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. The latest victim to come forward is telling the horrific story of how Donald Trump kissed her at her birthday party in the third grade; it was too humiliating for words. An A bomb just exploded quietly in the heart of the District of Corruption. During a rally in Cincinnati Trump said words which froze the hardest heart in even the toughest Marxist as they all turned their heads to...

They dragged hokey Billybooboo to the podium wearing his trademark hillbilly grin b/c the Clintons are scared silly about Obamacare The giant Democrat flopola is roaring back as a political liability to Democrats in a way not seen since 2014 midterms when 29 Democrats lost their seats b/c of Obamacare. The news is all bad---insurers are bailing out in droves, leaving millions of voters with dwindling options and skyrocketing premiums. There are opportunities here as so much control of Washington is up for grabs. ACTION PROJECT: Post this on every social media outlet: There's a lot of Democrat amnesia when...

Someone needs to create a “I was molested by Donald Trump” tee shirt and put them on sale. If we can get enough out into the public, it will be perceived as the joke that it is!

Hillary's mentor, Robert KKK Byrd, would have been one giddy old cuss if he were alive today. When I was five years old a neighbor had tricked me into laughing at a few KKK rhymes which dehumanized black people. My mother put a stop to it pronto and then finessed the matter brilliantly. An art student [very popular with her junior college teacher at the time] she taught me in creative ways that 'black is beautiful'. Took me years to fully comprehend, but it was my first lesson in counter-propaganda. And just think of the century and a half that...

Every Conservative institution and every conservative need to ramp up the pressure NOW on Chris Wallace to restore some balance to the debates. Without a doubt the moderators for the first 2 debates favored Clinton. Pressure needs to be brought to bear on Wallace to cover her scandals(Clinton Foundation, deleted emails, COLLUSION WITH FBI and JUSTICE DEPT. about investigation of emails!, Catholic bashing, Benghazi - Why were families told a video tape was to blame?, and HEALTH - Can you promise voters tonight that you are not concealing any health problems or diseases?, etc.) IF Wallace fails to raise them,...

A FRiend recently pointed out that the opposite of 'trickle down' economics is 'trickle up'. How true! In any banana republic [such as the 'U' SA] the tyrant tops the economic food chain -- that's where the economy trickles up. And sometimes the minions are even more dangerous, such as Obama's 'subordinate', Hillary. View what she achieved already and then imagine her in the Oval Office [with her husband's experience to guide her] ... 1. Watered down AIDS medication [*a*] which should come as no surprise after their ... 2. Tainted prison blood scandal. [*b*] Anyone greedy enough to infect...

Capt'n obvious here again, but Ryan is a cowardly IDIOT and has his head up his arse! If Hillary is allowed to win the presidency, America as a free nation is over. Amnesty and open borders will allow millions of unvetted foreigners, Muslims, drug pushers, gangsters, criminals, terrorists, etc., who will not assimilate to flood into our country to Balkanize and colonize us. And she will stack the court with God-hating, constitution-hating liberal activist judges to destroy our individual liberties. She will complete Obama's plan to transform America from a free nation to a totalitarian communist third-world hellhole. Trump MUST...

I’m going to link an article as an example of the point I want to make here, even though this article is probably already a FR link. It’s from the LA Times: Transcripts: What the mics caught Donald Trump saying in 2005 and what he said in his taped apology. And it’s very nasty - not because it doesn’t tell the truth, but because of how it lies with the truth. It slams the transcript of Donald 11 years ago directly in to the transcript of his apology, same text, no visual or layout breaks. In other words, it very...

Matthew 7:3-5 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye, when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. So the media is outraged by another Republican with yet another gotcha tape. With Romney it was the humiliation of women...

Previous Editions:September 24, 2016September 17, 2016September 10, 2016 (Premier Edition) Purpose of the Model This was asked of me earlier this week. Here is my reply. The purpose of my model over the years has never been to predict the outcome, as I am not a pollster gathering my own data. The purpose of my model has always been to reflect back the aggregate implications of the various polls that do exist, and leave it to the reader to draw insights and implications. Polls from different states with different margins of error are hard to conceptualize at an aggregate national...

Exodus 14:14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. The sun came up in the east and the Establishmedia claimed Hillary the victor in the debate. Not having watched it as I was working on a log cabin on Smith River in California I heard that Trump blew it and had a horrible night. After watching the replay I questioned the validity of his losing the debate since his answers were actually very good. The next morning it was confirmed when an older guy named Phil, who nobody would ever notice in a crowd, but...

"When the issue of Mr. Obama's birth-right citizenship was first raised, it wasn't just my concern. It was concern for tens of millions of Americans. Quite frankly, there were legitimate questions, and the president could have answered all those questions in 24 hours. All he had to do was tell the officials in Hawaii to release his birth certificate. But he didn't. He dragged the issue on through the courts for almost 4 years, before he finally released a copy of his birth certificate. Why he dragged America through this for 48 months, rather than solving the problem overnight, we...

Those who are satisfied with business as usual will say Hillary won. Those who want higher taxes and bigger government will say Hillary. Those who think the Iran Nuke deal is a good deal will say Hillary. Those who think trade deals like NAFTA and TPP are great for America will say Hillary. Those who think inner city blacks and minorities have been treated great by the democrats and their socialist policies will say Hillary. Those who think Hillary will appoint great judges will say she won. Those who think Hillary can securely safeguard our nation's classified information and will...

Previous Editions:September 17, 2016September 10, 2016 (Premier Edition) Model Changes Since Last Week This week, I'm bringing back the "Tilt" designation. The Toss-Up category is being split into Tilt Democrat and Tilt Republican, but will not count towards the candidates' total. This will give visibility into how the toss up states are leaning. Maine has been split into the state and its two Congressional districts, in order to properly account for the likelihood that Maine CD-2 breaks with the state. I made a small change to the poll weighting algorithm to correct for turned off polls that were not outright...

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Have the Pundiots declared Harpy the debate winner yet or are they going to wait til Monday, but enough about FOX SNOOZE. There is no question just like the primaries the experts are going to say she won on points, demeanor and knowledge while Trump failed in every phase of the contest. The Echo Chamber will get all wonky and completely miss the point of the debate and declare Trump the loser while the people will...

For weeks we have been treated to "Its his right to free speech" as Colin Kaepernick and a few others have taken a knee for the National Anthem (or in the case of the Philadelphia Eagles, a black power salute by three players). The NFL has backed these "protestors" even though the NFL has lost significant viewership, and hence, revenue, because of these antics. In addition, on a moral level, Kaepernick and company's "protest" has been on behalf of a hate group--black lives matter as well as other thugs who have called for murdering of policemen (several policemen have been...
