I am 57. Not only does it feel like "something wicked this way comes" but there is also this feeling that the whole world is holding it's breath...I came across this image on reddit today. The post was titled “Feeling of impending doom??” but the screenshot is from a comment on a youtube video. I posted about the comment on Twitter and got very strong reactions. Many posters identified with this feeling and I want to discuss this. Today in March of 2024 we’re in a particular moment of history. In the background the various slow-motion crises of our age...

Getting more and more difficult to read the news from Fox's website. They want you to sign up and give them your e-mail address and other info. I'm done with them

They're joe's babies, every 9 million of 'em . . . . BIGRANTS.

There is one conspiracy theory that is true. The government, media, corporations etc brainwash people to celebrate Halloween (66 percent of Americans each year), to wear Nike sneakers, to have Facebook accounts, to have Instagram accounts, to have Twitter accounts, to celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day (both pagan holidays God is our true father, we should honor our parents 365) I want to get Halloween abolished. It's a pagan holiday that is against Christ. It's offensive even to Penn Jillette who is an Atheist. I want FReepers to help me get Halloween banned throughout the US .Liberals love Halloween,...

Once they saw the numbers come in indicating a Trump landslide, panicked corrupt election officials from swing states held a Zoom conference call with the Biden campaign and/or the DNC and Big Tech companies to pause the vote count. The conference call agreed that by pausing the vote and getting the Big Tech and establishment media onboard, was a much better course of action than to have Trump win and then they'd be up feces creek. There is no way that these swing states in question would all pause the vote simultaneously and then miraculously declare Biden the winner. I...

Okay my friends.How do we fight the catch phrases like 'income inequality'? Makes us the defensive right off the bat. They just have to point to the obvious wealth out there to say it's unfair. 'No one working 40 hours/week should live in poverty.' Blowing them off doesn't do anything for the younger generation-communist. They're lost. College loans, putting off marriage, investing in Obamacare they don't need. Major surgery is needed and the poverty pimps have an easier time stroking resentment while we quietly go about our business. What's the solution?

I don't trust the government because there's no trust to be had. The are untrustworthy. They lie about everything. Especially the left in general, which means all Democrats. They are evil incarnate. Can anyone point to one moment where a Democrat actually told the truth? Just for truths sake too, not so they can push a hundred more lies. Can you name one?? Ever? Every leftist that gets on camera, tells lies. They lie about people, places, things, and events. They lie about history and their own intentions. They gaslight constantly. And you can add to that, cheating and stealing....

It would go like California does. They put one issue on the ballot and everyone running has to take a side-no nuances. Issue one would be voter ID. Issue 2 would be finish the wall. Issue 3 would be school choice(think Covid). Issue 4 would be eliminate the income tax. Prop 103 got voters off their dead behinds for the first time. Get enough states to get them on the ballot and the other states won't be able to ignore it.

So all the phones now have the precursor to COVID19 contact tracing. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=3352270954783570&set=a.342104039133625

Why does Mike Wallace not go to a briefing and ask his questions? Could he be scared? Is he a reporter without a pass? All talk from behind is mic.

"Democrats Announce SUCCESS at Removing Trump from Office!" The Democrats have come to a deal to announce the removal of Donald Trump from the presidency of the United States to the cacophony of cheers. With the deal, Donald Trump will leave office on January 20, 2025, more than eight years after the Democrats started impeachment hearings. "WE DID IT!" Ebullient House Minority Leader Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gleefully ejaculated to the press. "The specter of nationalist, capitalist White Supremacy will finally lose their single biggest supporter in the history of the country. This is a great day for all Americans, particularly the...

The PG&E power transmission system has been allowed to decay (or hasn't been upgraded) so it can't withstand high winds without possibly causing fires. That's why electricity has had to be turned out for millions of Californians during the recent high-wind events. Who was in power over the past decade, as the electricity system has been allowed to languish, without adequate modernization and safety upgrades? Jerry Brown was governor from 2011 to 2019. Kamala Harris was attorney general during the same period. Gavin Newsom was mayor of San Francisco, PG&E's largest municipal customer. None of these powerful politicians did anything...

I come here for some of the best memes, but I have to look around. We need to have a go to for memes.

"...true Zionism involved emigration to Palestine, working with out own hands to 'redeem' and build up the country, and create there a model society based on social, economic and political equality...." "David Ben-Gurion Looks Back"-In talks with Moshe Pearlman published 1965 "For united we stand, divided we fall" As sung by "The Brotherhood of Man" (1970) Jeremy Corbyn, the socialist style Labor Party leader in the UK reminds me of what "Labor" and "Socialist" parties used to stand for. The people who work for a living were deserving of protection from big business and more communal way of living was...

Since 1992, Republicans have been smarting their loss by claiming that Ross Perot stole enough votes to elect Bill Clinton. Even as much as the loyal opposition seeks to demystify the winner's victory, the Perot-elected-Clinton lie has only served to force the GOP to adopt pro-immigrant pro-big-gov narratives. Perot was more liberal than Slick Willie himself. http://www.ontheissues.org/Ross_Perot.htm He was pro-abortion, pro-homo, and for tax hikes on fossil fuel, the driver of American jobs. Bush I's job approvals in 1992 were as low than Jimmy Carter's in 1980 http://spectator.org/63682_bushioisie-wrong-ross-perot-didnt-cost-ghw-bush-white-house-1992/ http://www.gallup.com/poll/116677/presidential-approval-ratings-gallup-historical-statistics-trends.aspx Of course Bush was 1000x better than Surrender Monkey Dhimmi, but...

What is wrong with Resident Obama? He goes to Europe and makes some of the most incredibly out of touch statements. He has appeared at press conferences with one eye half open and one eye shut. When I Google "President Obama One Eye Open One Eye Shut" I get only 3 hits, some from the religious prophesy perspective. Evidently, Google has cleansed this query to be more favorable to the President.

Donald Trump will not reach 1237 delegates before the GOP July Cleveland Convention and there will be a floor fight for the Nomination. For the purposes of this analysis, both Sen. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are peripheral characters. Both will continue to pursue their best strategy to the nomination, Trump on first ballot, Cruz on 2nd or 3rd (most likely 4th after Florida delegates are released). There will be a contested convention because the media will push for it. 1. Blood in the streets in Cleveland? Damn, that's a generational story. Somebody's gonna win a Pulitzer here. 2. Permanent...

Currently, Topics are tied individual Forums, such that the 50 states (but not DC) show up as Topics for a thread posted in or moved to the GOP forum -- but the 50 states (and DC) show up as "US:(state name)" in threads posted in or moved to the News forum. Those state lists don't cross. Same goes for the duplicate Topics found in Chat and Blogger forums -- and those lists are all separate from one another. Keywords are available across all Forums.All three systems should be merged into a Tags system. Currently, the URL (which I still...

The Stainless Steel Rat is James Bolivar DiGriz, who goes by many aliases, including "Slippery Jim" and "The Stainless Steel Rat". He is a futuristic con man, thief, and all-round rascal. He is charming and quick-witted. He is also a master of disguise and martial arts, an accomplished bank robber, a criminal mastermind, an expert on breaking and entering, and (perhaps most usefully) a skilled liar. Master of self-rationalization, the Rat frequently justifies his crimes by arguing that he is providing society with entertainment; and besides which, he only steals from institutions that have insurance coverage. He displays a strong...

Face it .... we're stuck with four people ...
