I had been fairly active on FR back in the late 1990’s and remember how wonderful the folks were then. They are just as wonderful today, my apologies for not responding to all who greeted me yesterday.
It is comforting to be with like minded folks and it appears that this group is expanding exponentially these days!
I am having a bit of difficulty (soon to be 79 years young) navigating the site but starting to remember some of the intricacies.
I know they are trying to find the neighbor of the Cruz’s in Canada to verify her statements.
You’re the Right Side Network of Free Republic.

Mentions Barack Obama—crowd boos
Was relating how Obama spilled the beans about sending the 50 Special Ops to fight ISIS
Says nobody is gonna mess with us—we are going to build our military so strong
Crowd cheers—says you really like this stuff—crowd cheers again
With regard to Secret Service, I can imagine that being assigned to Trump is probably the most plum assignment and being assigned to Shrillary is probably the rough equivalent of being sent to Siberia!
You are mentioned in post 182
I’ll second that, nikos does a FANTASTIC job setting these threads up!
It sounded like they had found both the medical.and voter information. Hope he is exposed.soon. %/)
Asks who is going to pay for the wall?
Crowd yells “MEX-I-CO!”
Tells crowd how telephone conversations will gom wwith world leaders—too funny!
LOL! I don’t doubt that at all. Hillary has a history of being extremely rude to the Secret Service and the military.

“Waterbury has suffered tragically from the loss of manufacturing jobs.” @realDonaldTrump tells crowd. #TrumpinWaterbury
What’s crazy to me is that his speeches are basically a lot of the same lines each time. But he is able to mix it up, add a couple of new lines, inject some local flavor and make it all sound brand new!
I never get tired of it!
See, what did I tell ya, nobody appreciates or likes me. lol Thank you, Poodle.
lol. Well, the guy from Cornell who said it was black, but i didn't include that tidbit in #100 because i didn't want to be thought of as a raaaaacist. :-)
Soon I hope, Bill Still seems confident of the data.
By the way, don’t miss his wife Beth’s classic RANT on the topic of “Bathrooms”...she is great! In fact based on how well she rants I suspect she is a covert FReeper ;-)
