    Here's something meaningful to do that is also prudent if you haven't already done it. Reallocate to capital preservation or move to cash all the money in your 401Ks and IRAs. The next 30 days are going to be volatile, so sitting your money on the sidelines is not particularly rash. If every Trump voter did this, it would send a very powerful message as well as pruning some power from the incoming overlords.

    "It was ever thus." That statement took Suudva 17,200 years to utter. Moglu pondered Suudva's response for 205,300 years. Then he spoke: "What about this one?" That question took 23,400 years to utter. The Qul race was extraordinarily long-lived, and glacially slow. They were slow, but that was their pace. They had existed for many iterations of the universe's Big Bang, expansion, contraction, then the Big Collapse. The technology they had exceeded anything any other race could expect to ever achieve. Moglu gestured, an act that took 40,300 years, then said: "Oh, this one? A very quick flash in the...

    The term is universally misused. If they don't want to use the correct term, "Democrat party", it should be spelled as "the Democrat-ick party."
  • Proposal: Require banks to run our elections as a condition of their federal charter and FDIC membership. Their handling of ballots would be as strictly and uniformly regulated as their handling of money.

    FDIC Law, Regulations, Related Acts ^ | Dec 4 2020 | rintintin
    FDIC - member banks are heavily regulated for uniformity and integrity in their handling of money The conduct of federal elections should be equally uniform and strictly regulated Why not assign federally charted banks the responsibility of running federal elections? The “system” we’ve got now would shame many third world countries for its chaotic lack of organization, reliability, and integrity Just a thought

    Just a question for Democrat voters. To all those who serve the progressive agenda or whatever you call that declares free from the government. It is becoming difficult to keep up with all that you feel entitled to so I have a suggestion that will add clarity. Create a list of what you expect the citizens to provide for their welfare. Your well-meaning agenda can then concentrate on all the things the citizens cannot do for themselves. Neither your agenda nor the citizen will have to provide the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness already provided by...

    all other alternatives to an emergency special election seem to end in some form of violence or permanent dislocation of one main party or the other. a re-election would be fine but suffers from the flaw that it invites a repeat in the forseeable future simply by the precedent that it sets. holding an emergency election between the two top second tier contestants is not ideal but there is no ideal alternative. this alternative might be the fairest among the hobbesian universe of unequally unfair choices that do not ultimately involve a government collapse. if the two major parties agree,...

    Well, friends, I know I'm not alone in feeling confused, stunned and in complete disbelief, angry, and extremely concerned about how this election mess is going to play out. It's totally FUBAR at this point. Like some of you, I spend half of my day laughing and the other half crying. We can only trust in God and our president, DJT. They will surely lead us out of this nightmare and into the light that will shine on our great nation, once again.

    So, here is my question. Would you be willing to risk catching Covid if it would mean that your kids and grandkids would have a "normal" life? I am 65, but otherwise I have no co-mobidities, and I am very healthy. I don't want to get the disease, but I would rather be sick for a few weeks if it would mean that life could get back to normal for my family. I am sick of my kids suffering inadequate online classes (for college and graduate courses), of cancelled weddings (twice for us thus far), of cancelled summer plans to...

    As my title suggests, everyday while browsing through FR and reading some of the threads, sometimes I am up and sometimes I am down. However, I think about something that happened in Maryland back in 1994 that pushes me slightly in the half-empty camp. Ellen Sauerbrey ran against Paris Glendening (affectionately known as Spendening) for Governor and lost. However, she made the claim that the machines being used were switching votes over to Glendening. Lo and behold, she was able to provide evidence. Then a Maryland court threw her case out because the court stated she provided the evidence a...

    Not sure if this is the right section for this; apologies in advance if not. If PDJT gets to the point where he feels obliged to concede, what great things should we expect for him to wrap up in the next two months? Mullahs, China’s culpability regarding their flu, child traders and abusers? I truly believe our President is committed to making America greater. If he realizes that he’s down to x number of days, the plans he had(s) for his country would need to be expedited, right? Hope y’all have a good weekend.

    There is no better place to find a focus group to determine the best path forward for Americans that believe we are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights, among these are life and liberty. I am seeking input from people that reject the dominion of the group responsible for the mass election fraud and the attack on the cornerstone of liberty, the vote. What path should the 73 million plus voters for President Trump take if the courts and the legislatures surrender to this massive, multi-state election fraud? The Trump voters are good people. So how can good people...

    I’d like to suggest that Trump send out the following Tweet. If you voted Trump, purchase a Mega Million Lottery ticket next for Friday. Biden should do the same, instead his supporters should purchase a Power Ball for next Saturday. It seems that the lottery sells about 14M tickets on average per game. So, if 70M people voted for each candidate and purchased a ticket ($2) there should be a huge increase in sales for that particular date. It’s not scientific, but if this went national and people participated the results would be eye-opening. Bet lottery sales for the Trump...
  • My hunch is Jeb is waiting in the wings for 2024

    11/11/2020 10:17:58 AM PST · by Billie Bud · 172 replies
    Jeb is still upset he sucked as a candidate four years ago. I think the unitary promised him his turn and no one thought Trump was for real or a serious contender. Jeb (PLEASE CLAP) sure has been “hopeful and vocal” about Biden. Why is that? He thinks if he shows himself as “way nicer than Trump,” in a few years he can begin doing a slight turn towards the right and people will be so fed up with leftism, he will seem like the “nice answer” and get the Bushes back where they think they belong. I seriously think...

    Dear "Freepers," No new article from me today. I'm taking the day off but I wanted to write something just for you. Y'know, a lot of you have messaged me privately to express appreciation for my articles and I love you for it. It's my pleasure to write for you. Writing is so enthralling, I'd rather write than eat. True! Maybe you message me privately because of the dynamic on this site. Other sites have trolls...easily ignored. This site is different. There's a spirit of toxicity that keeps the good people quiet. A very few will speak up or even...
