Free Republic

A member of my family has Oscars on... That's why I am watching some parts of the show...If I had my way, I would watch something else... Mel Gibson's film won sounds effects award...

<p>Gary Sick is promising a blockbuster book! Developing...hard and YUGE! YUGE and SERIES UPDATE: I made this up, of course. Some idiot — a Carter national security affairs advisor named Gary Sick — concocted an October Surprise conspiracy theory that Reagan campaign aides secretly negotiated with Iranian officials to withhold the American hostages until after the 1980 elections to ensure Carter’s defeat. The current brouhaha about Trump secretly dealing with Russia to ensure Hillary’s defeat derives from the same ol’ media/Dem impulse to delegitimize a Republican victory. In other words, as someone once said, history may not repeat itself but it definitely rhymes.</p>

President Trump is sticking with his argument that millions of illegal immigrants voted in the 2016 presidential election, amid calls for him to provide proof and questions about whether he’ll indeed have an official probe into the issue. “Many people have come out and said I am right,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly to be aired Sunday before the NFL Super Bowl. [......] Trump also said in the Fox interview that he has "respect" for Russian President Vladimir Putin, but that respect does not mean they'll get along. "I say it’s better to get along...

Former presidential candidate Evan McMullin and his running mate Mindy Finn will launch a new conservative group on Wednesday that's opposed to President Trump, and will kick off the effort with a television advertisement questioning his connections to Russia. "Stand Up Republic" is a new 501(c)4 political nonprofit organization. They envision their new group as a home for conservative grassroots opposition to Trump, but plan to partner with activists on the left who share their concerns about the threat they believe Trump poses to the Constitution, equality and liberty.

I have completed exhaustive analysis of the disputed Trump crowd shot and the CNN gigapixel crowd shot. As much as it pains me to say, the two images match quite well and the disputed crowd shot is legitimate and represents the actual crowd size. There was no deception on the part of the media. I have four decades of experience as an advertising photographer. I am qualified to make this kind of analysis. As a Trump supporter and voter I think it does us a great disservice to not deal honestly with issues such as these. In this case even...

Bowe Bergdahl is innocent. He has suffered enough in his life. Blame which ever service accepted him in after the Voast Guard rejected him. From a very young man he was raised in a tiny Idaho town. Although a warm , gentle Mama..his father was/is judgement & a zealot. Bowe was home schooled so his exposure to "0thers" was Nile. He left home to get away from his father's odd philosophy. Bowe has slight autism. please pardon..he's innocent.

When President Obama took office, the economy was losing 800,000 jobs per month. Today, we are in the midst of the longest streak of job growth on record. U.S. businesses have added 15.6 million jobs since early 2010. The unemployment rate has been cut by more than half from its peak. Rising home prices have brought millions of homeowners back above water. We’re less reliant on foreign oil than we have been in nearly three decades. We’ve cut our budget deficit by two-thirds as a share of the economy. Last year, the poverty rate fell by more than any year...

Look at weather map for anomaly coming from Ft Smith AR

Hey, y'all! I was banned for being a "never-Trumper" and now I am back. Thank you, Jim. Well, Trump won. I actually voted for him - as I always have (conservative losers VS. leftists) but I doubted his long-term political survival. I was wrong. I do not apologize for my taste but I will admit he was the best candidate. Now, it remains to be seen if he will be what all [C]onservatives want/wish/pray for him to be. Given some of his apparent appointments, I am not too sure. We shall see. If you want to flame me, go ahead....

For college students especially, American Thanksgiving might be one of the best holidays of the year. Free food and childhood nostalgia can easily eclipse its dirty origin story. In truth, Thanksgiving has racist roots that are widely ignored by the American public. The glorification of colonialism and stereotyping of Native Americans should make anyone, regardless of race, pause and consider the cultural racism that has been a part of our childhood socialization.

“Goliath is coming himself, with his horses and men.” Oh, you’re David now? Let’s hope that “Goliath” comes for the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrators and Useful Idiots in the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and elsewhere in the government. “Muslim Brotherhood: Trump victory a ‘disaster,’” Middle East Monitor, November 9, 2016 (thanks to Lookmann): “ Donald Trump’s victory in the US elections is a “disaster” for the Arab and Muslim world, a Muslim Brotherhood spokesperson said today. Mamdouh Al-Muneer, a member of the supreme body of the Freedom and Justice Party, wrote on social media that the results of the...

Verbally convicting Trump and pretty much calling him a sexual predator.

Someone needs to create a “I was molested by Donald Trump” tee shirt and put them on sale. If we can get enough out into the public, it will be perceived as the joke that it is!

If you're going to throw in the towel for some stupid remarks that Trump made in the past and let the thoroughly corrupt, God-hating, America-hating, Marxist/fascist totalitarian Hillary Clinton destroy our nation, then goodbye. Logoff, delete your cookies, post elsewhere. Quit on America? Like hell!! We the unredeemable, despicable deplorables will fight on without you. By the way, FU turncoat FOX News and all bedwetting GOPe NeverTrump RINOs. That is all.

While the hack of the Clinton Foundation was foreshadowed two months ago, moments ago notorious hacker Gufficer 2.0, who previously was responsible for hacking the DNC and DNCC not to mention the resignation of Debbie Wasserman Shultz, announced that the moment "many of you have been waiting for" has come, by revealing that the Clinton Foundation has been hacked. This is what Guccifer 2.0 posted moments ago on his website: So, this is the moment. I hacked the Clinton Foundation server and downloaded hundreds of thousands of docs and donors’ databases. Hillary Clinton and her staff don’t even bother about...

We need some old humor with the way things are going.

Robby Mook's meltdown

There is only one serious candidate on the presidential ballot in November. We recommend Hillary Clinton. We don't come to this decision easily. This newspaper has not recommended a Democrat for the nation's highest office since before World War II — if you're counting, that's more than 75 years and nearly 20 elections. The party's over-reliance on government and regulation to remedy the country's ills is at odds with our belief in private-sector ingenuity and innovation. Our values are more about individual liberty, free markets and a strong national defense.

I'm beginning to think that Donald Trump was right when he said that he could "stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody" and not lose support among certain segments of the population. The man who crafted a campaign around two primary issues--illegal immigration and trade--just caved on the first of these. After months of being the toughest talker on illegal immigration, he's basically come around to the establishment's way of thinking--namely, that there are just too many lawbreakers out there to do anything about it now. Trump maintains that if he's elected president he will still build...
