  • Paul Ryan - Statement From Aide On Trump Endorsement

    08/05/2016 9:50:35 PM PDT · by Pinkbell · 142 replies
    Statement from one of Paul Ryan's aides on the Trump endorsement: "He appreciates the gesture and is and is going to continue to focus on earning the endorsement of voters in Southern Wisconsin He "appreciates the gesture"? Isn't that lovely? He couldn't even be there tonight to get Trump's endorsement. To be honest, I don't think Paul Ryan cared. I don't. I think the media cared because of their narrative, and I think Reince cared, Manafort cared, Newt cared, Rudy cared, and Pence cared, but I don't believe for a second that Ryan cared. Don't forget, Ryan was bashing Trump...

  • Effectively Combating Election Fraud, Suggestions? [Vanity]

    self-published | August 5, 2016 | fwdude
    With the numerous ways elections have been illegitimately influenced/bought in the past, it is a vigorous debate what measures should be employed to best combat one side stacking the odds in favor of their candidate/issue. My suggestion is not new, but is often neglected. It is statistically suspect that so many elections, notably key ones on which much is at stake, have such razor-thin margins of victory. I say suspect, but it is more likely statistically impossible that an entire state with a voting population of many millions, can end up with a few hundred or thousand votes between sides...
  • Pence just killed it on the Today Show (vanity)

    Rarely watch the Today Show but tuned in to see what was happening in Rio the exact time they had Mike Pence and his wife on. Savannah Guthrie, naturally playing the part of obnoxious left wing reporter, kept trying to mock and bait Pence, who would have none of it. Pence was dignified, controlled and swatted her left wing mentality away with ease. Best part of the interview? Guthrie brings up on op-ed in today's NYSlimes by a former CIA director and Pence responds, "this was the same CIA director who referred to ISIS as the JV." Worth watching if...
  • Rename the United States Navy Ship USS Harvey Milk to USS Harambe

    petitions.whitehouse.gov ^ | 8/4/2016 | G.D.
    While there is no doubt that Harvey Milk died in the service of his country, his contribution to American history pales in comparison to the Silverback magnificence that was Harambe. Harambe who gave his life in a volley of friendly fire. Harambe. It also offers a strategic advantage: the name Harambe — even whispered — will demand respect, obeisance, and awe. A USS Harambe will strike fear in the hearts of our enemies in a way that the name "Milk” never could. USS Harambe will remind the world that America never forgets its heroes. USS Harambe, this who we are.

    I try to be reasonable, open-minded and logical. I try not to be melodramatic or hyperbolic. What I'm about to say sounds like it flies in the face of all that but I think I'm being true to my principles. The plane load of 400 million cash that landed in Iran on an unlit airstrip in Iran was sent in secret and was divided in multiple currencies. It is claimed that this was a promised payment that was part of an arms deal between the United States and the Shah. The Obama administration claims we owe the Iranian Republic 1.7...

    The community organizer calling Trump unfit to serve as President? You're funny as heck Obama! You go and take America on some liberal magical mystery tour and almost 8 years later we are buried in crap up to our ears? You lied to us all the way along about every plan you and your lunatic liberals managed to concieve. Hillary Clinton is quite simply an extension of that lying you so perfectly perfected. You look a little hot under the collar Obama. Maybe you should reflect on the fact that you are calling millions of Americans unfit. You and Hillary...

    Get this out to those who can run with it. A movie needs to be made fast and well called "Bill's Ladies". It needs to start way back in Arkansas or sooner. It should show the deputies going out to pick up women for him. It doesn't need to actually show them murdering women to cover up his tracks, but just show his relationship with them and then that they are dead and it is labeled suicide, they are cremated and all with a gun shot to the back of the head. Show all the stories in order. Make sure...

  • (Vanity) [From JANUARY 30, 2015] Obama’s shocking interference in the Israeli elections.

    07/27/2016 2:48:34 PM PDT · by bereanrabbi · 46 replies
    While all eyes are on Russia, I believe the recent Wikileak dump of DNC emails originated from Mossad (Israeli National Intelligence Agency). It was not that long ago when Obama sent a team of campaign hacks to Israel to topple Netanyahu in the Israeli elections. Payback is hell. Moreover, surely Israel prefers Trump instead of Clinton, who would represent Obama's third term and a contiuation of the anti Israeli foreign policy she established as Sec of State.

    The Clintons were "dead broke" when they left the White House in 2000 ... now, after Hillary's 4 years as Secretary of State and 4 years running for the 2016 presidency, they are worth $125 million. If she wins in November, where will their net worth be in 2020 or 2024? Asking for Freepers usually well-informed opinions.

    There was a post on FR from Gateway/Breitbart of the reaction by the #NeverTrump movement to the DNC. They were fawning over it. In fact, Rush Limbaugh talked about how the media played this convention off and the #NeverTrumpers went along with the narrative: Drive-Bys Celebrate: Democrats Sounded Like God-Loving, Patriotic Republicans! http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2016/07/29/drive_bys_celebrate_democrats_sounded_like_god_loving_patriotic_republicans I will point out another one separate from the Breitbart/Gateway Pundit article = Ana Navarro. This is a long time token Republican on CNN. She was on CNN before they started adding other Republicans. For the record, she was a Jeb! supporter, is friends with the Bush...

    Like many of us who follow the crime path of the Clintons over the last 20 years or so were often puzzled by the reason that Vince Foster was murdered because the coverup by the Clinton administration was so sloppy. And anyone who has seriously looked into it has concluded that he was killed because he had something on the Clintons...well, I have figured out why... Hillary is not your neighborhood girl, this is the evil witch from the north. There are over 100 dead bodies in her path to the White House and one that needs more attention than...

    <p>NEW WHISTLEBLOWER WEBSITE - Equal Justice Foundation of America. See the latest trailer here.</p> <p>This story is about the Clinton role in the collapse of a public company, Stan Lee Media, Bill Clinton's failure to honor a verbal agreement with Peter Paul to come aboard Stan Lee Media as a rainmaker, four false FEC reports, a conspiracy at the highest levels of the DNC, and the greatest campaign finance fraud in U.S. history. It is a crime that was done in broad daylight, but if people don't see it on network news or read it in the NEW YORK TIMES or WASHPOST (or WSJ), apparently it never happened.</p>
