I'm sure other middle-aged adults are going through similar situations. I live on the west coast, but hail from back east, Michigan, to be precise. I grew up in a huge bricked home with full basement, attic, four bedrooms two bathrooms. I am still very close to my three siblings and to Dad. St. Cecilia, The Catholic grade school we attended is still functioning, and only two blocks from the house. Daddy attends 9am Mass each Sunday. My Mother passed away about 20 years ago. The 'Problem' is that our sweet old family home is completely falling apart, inside and...

Pete Sessions makes me sick - he's voted RINO every single time. I'll be supporting his opponent next time or not voting for him.

Are You Going To Remain A Republican in light of today's gutless actions by both the Senate and House? This was the last straw for me; I'm done! I will be switching my party affiliation tomorrow.

Every New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, a treat. Is offered to those who subscribe to the ScyFy channel - a Twilight Zone marathon. Being of a certain age, I tune in. I've always loved the show, Rod Serling was a man ahead of his time, IMO. But I'd like to talk about a particular episode, one not only ahead of its time (as many TZ episodes), but timelyaswell.

A new Foreign Military Intelligence (GRU) report circulating in the Kremlin today is saying that United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was injured, and a top US Navy Seal Commander killed when their C-12 Huron military passenger and transport aircraft crash landed nearly 3 weeks ago in the Iranian city of Ahvaz near the Iraqi border. Iranian intelligence agents quoted in this GRU report confirm that the C-12 Huron aircraft is still in their possession in Ahvaz, but will only admit that the plane was “forced to land because of technical problems.” The US Navy Seal member reported killed...

As a Conservative I cringed 'having' to vote for these pathetic GOP candidates, but the alternatives seemed far worse at the time. But Boehner and the RINO's in Washington are the last straw. No more. I will never support a GOP candidate again. No money, no time, no vote. And I'm willing to bet there are millions of Conservatives and American patriots feeling exactly the way I do tonight! Maybe it's the only message they will ever understand.

Streaming available. I just can't believe how incredibly awesome this radio station is!!!! Yes, I've had several beers tonight...

Are there any elected Democrats who will put the survival of their country ahead of their Party? Are there any elected Democrats who care about the excessive spending their Party demands? Are there any elected Democrats who will defy their 'leaders' and put future generations ahead of the immature Socialists who have control of this country? $41 dollars of tax hikes for each $1 in spending cuts??? And they aren't spending cuts anyway??? This will put the final nail in the coffin of the once revered American Dream.

In the dead of the night, with no committee hearings, no public input and no time to read the bill, the Senate approved a bill written in secret by President Obama, Vice President Biden, Senator Harry Reid and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi – the “American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.” According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, the Senate-passed bill would cost taxpayers $3.9 trillion over 10 years and the Congressional Budget Office estimates that it would add almost $4 trillion in debt over the next ten years. The official estimate is that it will increase spending by at least $330...

For several generations, Europeans had encroached on Indian lands....exchanging treaty promises and goods for Indian land....But the continuous flow of settlers....caused the treaties to be broken, usually by whites, almost as soon as the signatures were affixed.

So transparent. Every worthless politician will now claim that they did not violate their pledge to never vote for a tax increase. Because technically, they didn't. They just let the taxes go up automatically for a couple of hours, then voted to bring them (well, some) back down again. And shazaam! A tax cut! Sneaky, gutless, round the bend subterfuge. Yet politics as usual.

I have wondered how old all the various Freepers are. I know by reading stories on here that we have had WWII vets to people just starting college now. Obviously, don't post your age if you do not want to, but I just thought it would be interesting to see our age spans. I am 42.

I have wondered how much all the various Freepers weigh. I know by reading stories on here that we have had people get diabetes type II from their weight, all the way to ectomorphs who work out 7 days a week. Obviously, don't post your weight if you do not want to, but I just thought it would be interesting to see our weight spans. I am 42.

I have wondered what the eye and hair color the various Freepers have. I know by reading stories on here that we have people who have black hair and black eyes, all the way to bald albinos. Obviously, don't post your eye and hair color if you do not want to, but I just thought it would be interesting to see our pigmentation spans. I am 42.

All elected officials who were defeated or resigned are not legal to vote!!!READ THECONSTITUTION ( even if you don't read the tyrannical bills.) Those who are are not sworn in are history and cannoy vote for McConnell's "cave in". Please leave our buildings!!Happy new year idiots.

Just announced on KKSF 910

For the month that the murders in Newtown have been in the news, I have heard two totally different stories as to the weapon used. Some stories claim the perp used the semiautomatic rifle while others (as recently as Saturday) claim he used the two pistols he had in his possession. Which is it?

As it stands, I pay thousands upon thousands in federal income taxes...

Why has no single reporter stated the obvious? Who's signature is on the law forcing the fiscal cliff? For some reason I think it's Barack Obama. I don't think he can write a Presidential Finding for this. Why have the Repubs given him this for so long and why didn't they hit him with this when he was slamming conservatives? Are we really this dumb??
