Every morning, I fire up my home computer (downloaded Windows 10 last week) and when I go to my Google Chrome icon, it takes me exactly 10 minutes for the Google main page to pop up on my screen. I like Google Chrome because I have GooglePlus and GMail, but it seems that Windows 10 is not supporting it because they want users to jump to Microsoft Edge (their browser) instead. What can I do to correct this? Should I uninstall and then install Google Chrome again? This delay is very frustrating.

I do not make very accurate crowd size estimates, but I figure about 1000, which is not bad for Florida's lib southeast coast. Good cheer had by all!

One of them needs to eliminate or totally reform the DEA and thier over stepping power. I know a close family friend that recently killed themselves(last week), because pharmacies would not fill their pain medications. This person had terminal cancer and was dying, and the damned pharmacies around here would not fill her doctors script. I don’t condone killing oneself(as it isn't christian) but her note the police found said she was in so much pain and couldn't stand it anymore. She was a sweet old lady that I used to mow her lawn when I was growing up and...

I have to say, after watching 2 full rally speeches from Mr. Trump, I have to say this simply... While ideologically he certainly is not as conservative as many would like, unless something drastically changes, this election is his to lose and its not hard to see why. He is the only person taking on the press and calling out the horrific stupidity of the political class for all the crap that has been going on for decades without restraint. Lots of time to go in this cycle, but no flub, or gotcha press nonsense is going to take him...

What is Donald Trump? Is he serious or is he some sort of show? Is he some asymmetrical weapon sent in by the Clinton's to disrupt the Republican Party? He is certainly doing a good deed by tearing down the Republican Establishment and its anointed candidate, Jeb Bush. His strong push on Amnesty has drawn fire from the GOPe and its affiliated media who have reacted to the backlash by sometimes backing off or in one case even joining him like Ann Coulter (a spy sent in by the GOPe???). Trump has sucked away the attention and opinion poll ratings...

Jorge Ramos was born in Mexico City on March 16, 1958. Today he claims dual citizenship and votes in Meixco and American. For Ramos to become a US citizen needed to renounce his Mexican citizenship. The US citizenship oath he had to take reads, in part; "I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America ...

It seems like there's been a stream of leaks and updates from the investigators, and updates about Hillary's server for two steady weeks... 4 classified emails found, 60 classified emails found, Messages were born classified. If I recall correctly, the FBI got a hold of the server from her hosting company last week, and it suddenly got really quiet on updates. What do you guys think is going on with this investigation?

The liberal media has been fueling racial violence for years, publishing lies about Trayvon Martin, Hands Up Don't Shoot, the Baltimore riots, etc. It's only ironic that reporters are now the victims of the very monsters they helped to create. Alison Parker and Adam Ward were members of a fraternity that has been complicit in keeping our society honest. Maybe this double murder in Virginia of two unarmed white journalists by a black man with a gun is the wake up call they need to start doing their job and hold people accountable?

A new national poll out today by OANN and Gravis Marketing has Trump up to 40%, his YUGEST lead ever over his Republican contenders. Here’s how each candidate rated: oann_trump_forty While Carson’s lead more than doubled, he’s still a distant second place with the rest of the GOP field behind him. Not that Jeb lost a bit as both Cruz and Fiorina gained. Here’s the info on the poll: Gravis Marketing, a nonpartisan research firm, conducted a random survey of 3,567 registered voters across the U.S. regarding the presidential election. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 2%....

Last night I posted some of this on the thread about Trump's IA speech. I got so many requests to make this its own thread, that I enhanced and developed it a little, but I've said about the same thing for months. If you look at the latest New Hampshire poll, for example, you find that Trump is leading big---but is leading in almost every single category and subgroup: women, men, younger, older, conservative, liberal, moderate. That is truly Amazing. He's preferred by almost 40% of HISPANICS in the latest Nevada poll. In national polls, he's up 3:1 over his...

OK, first of all, I didn't watch her show tonight and don't know if I ever will. Anyway, had more important things to do such as my project retaining wall in my front yard. Anyway, saw the link on Drudge regarding her interview with Ted Cruz tonight and opened it to watch it. My question: Is it me or did Miz Kelly come off (and look like) as a snotty b***h towards Ted Cruz? She looked evil tonight!

I am honestly getting a little scared of what I see happening in politics at the moment. Trump seems to be creating a personality cult where his supporters don’t seem to care what they are supporting provided he attacks the people they don’t like. I am starting to feel a little bit like a German citizen in the early 1930’s watching normally rational conservatives start to cultishly follow a strong leader who they thought would fight back and stop the communists. Seriously if I had to pick a political philosophy for the Trump movement I would say that it is...

I'm getting pretty tired of this line and I'd like to point out how ridiculous it actually is, by way of analogy. Ever been on the highway? Ever notice all those folks going over the speed limit? (I'm one of them, by the way.) Imagine if the govt broadcast "We can't possibly pull over millions of speeders every day!" and, to top it off, make good on not doing it. I believe you'd be seeing a lot more speeders on the road. Especially if they never see anyone getting pulled over for it. Since it is actually true that there...

Just a bit of vain, personal joy today. On my ongoing journey of being a novelist, I am happy to have put out my 8th book (6th novel). My life goal is to have 100 books in print by the time I semi-retire, so I am only 92 short of the goal now. This book, EMP: Heading Home, is the sequel to my novel EMP from last year. I heard from a lot of angry people about how, in the first book, they hated that David did not go to Chicago to get his wife and daughter and instead stayed...

Has anyone heard a peep from the White House expressing pride in our brave troops who prevented the train attack in France. Or was Obama rooting for the shooter?

Freepers I need some help. My local CVS drugstore messed up my 6 year old daughter's prescription and when my husband went to the store to return the improperly prepared antibiotic, the pharmacist and store manager laughed about what had happened. By the Lord's grace they still have their teeth and my daughter's illness was not severe enough for her to experience a negative impact from this, other than a postponement of her getting better. I am livid and want to contact someone about this, do any of you have any knowledge of who I can contact at CVS? I...

And the Sept. End of work prophecies? Just kidding... Sorta...

Absent major changes in North-South relations, the wretched should inherit the earth by about 2025 "Now, stretching over that empty sea, aground some fifty yards out, [lay] the incredible fleet from the other side of the globe, the rusty, creaking fleet that the old professor had been eyeing since morning. . . . He pressed his eye to the glass, and the first things he saw were arms. . . . Then he started to count. Calm and unhurried. But it was like trying to count all the trees in the forest, those arms raised high in the air, waving...

2016 Republican Presidential Primary Death Quiz is a video put out by the Auralnauts, a YouTube channel that deals mainly in entertainment. This video however, deals with the Elections and I thought I'd share it with the FReepers here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8bVKt25YdE

am i the only one who remembers when the democRATS controlled congress how they would constantly issue indictments to monkey around with republican re-election efforts? they did this constantly (for many years). here we have clear and compelling evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors by Hillary and nobody in the GOP controlled congress is even talking about bringing her up on charges. WTH? politics is a bloodsport. the GOPe needs to start playing by the rules the democRATS play by. ugh. so disgusted. indict her and control the media narrative for the next 18 months and the GOP wins in...
