Work is in progress on Bagster's new watch, standing guard over those who have gone before us. I hope to post the new content next thread.

Have you seen President Trump's powerful 4 minute video message? Don't miss it!
Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.
Q describes this awakening as follows:
"The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding 'mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable.
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
When you are awake, you are able to clearly see.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Trust and put faith in yourself.
You are not alone and you are not in the minority.
Difficult truths will soon see the light of day.

Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see.
In the battle between those who strip us our constitutional rights, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger by diligently seeking the truth, independence and freedom of thought.
Where We Go 1, We Go All
Yes. It’s hopeless, isn’t it?
Yes, Mia. Buckhead, too.
Well, inflation....
::So I agree with KittenClaws’ current strategy suggestion; let’s ignore it.::

Great plan!

(You pinged me back here)
Your problem

Just my luck, I grab the last message in the thread to give an update from Michigan, and walk right into the middle of something...
ANYWAY, the team I’m working with here found another hack of the system Team Deep state uses (although I’d imagine there may be many here that have followed politics a while that may know it). Apparently they coordinate resignations so that they happen just after elections. They choose their replacement, making the person an incumbent (and therefore more name recognition), and have a significantly better chance to win the next election. We’re not talking just state congress critters, but Supervisors, Clerks, Treasurers, the whole gambit. One local school board only had 2 of the 7 members that were actually elected. And to top it off, if you manage to throw a bad member off a board, guess who you see come back in a year or two after a resignation. Yup, just another one happening locally right now.
Now back to any previously scheduled FreeQ family feud...
Thank you, Ransomnote.
Good deal. You show up and dump trash here so don't bother again. BTW, what are you doing besides whispering to those sheep?
On July 19th, it will be my 25th anniversary here!!
I haven’t been real active but I did go on the first Freeper cruise and I did attend a Freeper Clinton protest in Orlando.
Who else here has been here longer than 25 years?
little jeremiah wrote: I don’t see frustration as a viable reason for disruptive or rude behavior on this thread (or in RL either). We are all frustrated by the stolen election and all that has occurred because of it. Everyone here, and millions of Americans, are extremely frustrated because of the stolen election, and have little to no trust that elections are honest. They aren’t, and most states have not fixed them.
“Acting out” or trying to disrupt the thread, insulting others, and the like, are not sane or adult methods if dealing with this frustration. All the more reason to behave in a courteous manner.
If you meant to say, "excuse" rather then "reason." I would agree with you.
The rest of your post suggested you meant to use the term "excuse."
If you meant the term excuse. Can frustration be a reason for high tension?
He didn't just trash our thread only at Free Republic. He took his tantrum to Truth Social as well for those who haven’t seen it.
TRUMP SAID “TIPPY TOP” AGAIN TODAY... :)
AP reports her staff prodded public institutions that hosts Sotomayor to buy her memoir or children’s books – books that made her $3.7 million (plus six figure royalty payments annually) since joining the Supreme Court
Sotomayor’s publisher, Penguin Random House, has played a role in organizing her talks, even pressing public institutions to commit to buying a certain number of copies or requesting attendees purchase books to obtain tickets.
Sotomayor didn’t recuse herself from multiple cases before the Supreme Court involving Random House, despite earning significant money from her book deal with the publisher.’

Speaker of the House and former congressman from Fort Worth, Texas, Jim Wright was found to have done the same thing. He brought hundreds/thousands of his book to sell at his speaking engagements at inflated prices.
From the NY Times ...
The main ethics charges against Mr. Wright were that he had improperly accepted $145,000 in gifts from a Fort Worth developer, George Mallick, through a company that they owned together, and that the royalties he received for a slim book he wrote, “Reflections of a Public Man,” were actually a dodge to evade rules limiting gifts and speaking fees. The House Ethics Committee was preparing to decide whether he was guilty or not when he resigned.
Well, fine lady, I can answer that!
In the early years of FR, especially following our assuring the impeachment of Slick Willy Clinton, the MSM and the DS realized that they did not hold a monopoly on public information and thus public opinion. They decided to attack FR and limit its effectiveness through access - access to web publishing MSM news stories.
Of course FR did more than just access MSM media information, FR exposed their underhanded tactics. They could not limit access but they could limit the amount of access. I remember pointing out to JimRob the 'Fair Usage' doctrine of being able to republish excerpts from copyright material as long as such usage was limited; that limitation has never been strictly defined to the best of my knowledge. Much of that was fought out in legal battles; bless JimRob for his courage and persistence.
All that being said, it was obvious that the scope of FR influence on public policy and public view of policy was under threat. I encouraged Jim to build a data base of all of FR's web postings in order to preserve our historical impact at the dawn of the digital age and burn it on a hard drive, a CD or whatever and smuggle it to someone trustworthy in Fiji or the Cayman Islands. The historical impact on the Clinton impeachment and the incident of pulling an obscure easily forgotten event such as Alec Baldwin's scandalous outrage on late night TV and bringing it to broad public exposure are good examples.
JimRob never responded to my urging one way or another. Of course, it was none of my business. So I decided to do my part to preserve FR's inaugural years. By 2001 I had assembled approximately 60,000 files - not all FR naturally but other major historical events and sometimes how FR handled them.
As fate would have it, I lost the data on a hard drive plus a backup CD somehow got corrupted. I was able to recover about 50% of all that, give or take.
Now I backup my hard drive archives on SD cards, thumb drives, the bottom of my feet, wherever. 😉 I also periodically make digital copies of those copies and distribute them to FReepers who will receive them. For example, ransomnote has one of those backups; she may not know that those same historical files that I just posted are available to her also, nor does it matter. I only ask that the recipients hold their copies for posterity.
I could supply you a copy if you want. Right now they probably comprise many more than 60,000 files: html, *.rtf + *.txt files, graphics, *.pdf's - old Word Perfect files since converted to *.rtf files.
Many govt docs, especially of the past few years (DoJ, fed court, Congressional hearings, etc.) pdf's -- on and on... at least 15 gigabytes of data.
Whew! 😅
Same spirit!
I could supply you a copy if you want.

nOOOOOOOooo!
I’m moving files to a new pc and losing files as we ‘speak’! :)
I’m partial to the play swing!
M.

I smell thread sliding.
Did a sockpuppet take over your account, or did you just suddenly unmask?
