My son who is 22 has saved up enough money for a down payment and purchased his first house today. I am so proud of him. He purchased a three family and will able to manage the mortgage easily. I am such a happy mom. There have been a couple of people on this board who have given me support and encouragement in raising four on my own after my ex needed to leave. My son is doing so well. The raising isn't quite over yet, but fruit is beginning to show. Thank you for your help over the years....

Lots of jets firing up afterburners at 11 pm. Still going. Is there an exercise going on? Or an alert.

To: Admin Moderator Glad you brought FR back up. However, a really annoying quirk surfaced about a full week before the site went down, and persists now. It appears as if every thread is re-posted as a new thread, as many times as the number of replies to it. This makes it very difficult to scan the site quickly for breaking news. The multiple threads ("hiccups") are not affected by my Account settings, Page Layout, or anything else under local control here. If this is an experiment in "Bumping to the Top," please revert back to the normal method of...

Suppose you're on a jury, and you don't think the law being used to try a person is a correct law AS a law ... what do you say?

If Trump doesn't demand a border fence in the next budget in September and doesn't fight Ryan and McConnell, then he won't drain the swamp or be different from past presidents. A wall will never be built if it's not in the next budget. He needs to reign in spending, along with ending sanctuary cities, birthright citizenship. People on here said that he shouldn't have fought the last budget.

Go to CNN and use their "SEARCH" function. Not one single story or mention of "Antifa" on their website - the violent 'anti-fascist' group behind vandalism and assaults on Trump supporters and other conservatives. http://www.cnn.com/search/?text=antifa #FAKENEWS

A couple of years ago, our paper which serves two large counties, switched from doing its own national review of AP and other source stories and started using the USA Today national insert. People at that time objected because of the extreme left-wing slant of the USA Today staff, but the paper cited costs. Well, during the Presidential campaign, USA Today was in for Hillary with both feet. Then came all the 'fake news' and the chief editor of the paper is now asking the readers if we want to go back to the paper vetting the stories or keeping...

I am not trying to debate Joe McCarthy's place in history. Thanks to Ann Coulter's book "Treason", I know he did a lot of good work. Nevertheless, his name has become associated with fearmongering. I think in that respect, the time might be right to start speaking to the #fakenews and #fakejournalists those words "Have you no decency?" Rachel MadMcCarthy, Scott PelMcCarthey, Andrea MitchMcCarthey, etc. Are we at that point, fellow FREEPers?

What Effect will Manchester Bombing have on Federal Judges Rulings Immigration Ban Will this tragedy have any influence on the thoughts of these liberal federal judges who have blocked Trump's efforts to keep the US safe from potential terrorists. If they keep blocking the ban executive order will America hold them responsible for the next attack here at home. When another terrorist attack occurs here they should be prosecuted and or persecuted on being complicit

I believe Riyadh is 7 hours ahead of ET.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1 How can a turd of the people still be running around with their hair on fire after six months? It is actually pretty easy they are the fundamentalist of the liberal cult. Their world is worshipping the halls of gummit from morning to night seven days a week. They look at their faith as the only true belief and anyone taking their religion away from them is an infidel who needs to be burned at the stake. This is not a political war but a spiritual one as...

Fed up with the left's constant attacks on the DULY ELECTED PRESIDENT? Want to do the HARD WORK necessary to STOP THEM? It WILL take a million or more INFORMED and ANGRY VOTERS in each congressional district going to PRECINCT MEETINGS, pushing aside the RINOs and weak sisters then on to the conventions selecting and ELECTING to Congress more citizens who are NOT the arrogant Doug Neidermeyers of this world. Then going to their town hall meetings and watching them like the proverbial hawk, REPLACING THEM when necessary! Nothing else works! Bitching and wringing our hands just WON'T GET IT...

I'm a professor who often posts here and on FB. Two university officials are coming to my office today to speak with me about my posts. I told them this is a free speech issue. Feeling like I need legal advice. This is a public university. Advice? Moral support?

I have been aware of the serious effect an EMP attack would have on our country for some time. I recently read a most terrifying book, One Second After, and am now motivated to better prepare my family for this possibility. My question regards the viability of a 1987 Toyota 4x4 truck with a 22r carbureted engine. I have been told there is a vulnerable component in the non electronic ignition system. My understanding was that old coil, distributor system was safe. I have the opportunity to purchase this vehicle and would like to be sure that it can be...

Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Proverbs 31:30 KJV This scandal keeps growing more and more like Watergate and as a President falls for the oldest temptation in the book which is absolute power. In the 70’s when Nixon was having his scandal, his minions did what was pretty common in the day which was bugging a phone in the Whitewater hotel which was McGovern's HQ. In this one President Obama decided to help his fellow Democrats and used the entire Intelligence community on the Trump Campaign in...

Can anyone here let me know the email address to express a viewer's opinion of the staff. This BHarf woman could not hold her job with the Obama administration as a spokesman... So Fox has decided that it's audience wants her on virtually every show????
