This plan is predicated on the assumption that the GOP will win back a majority in one or both chambers in 2022......I am curious to hear thoughtful comments .......Plan: If the GOP wins a majority in one or both chambers, then I think that our America First representatives, having run as GOP candidates, should, en masse, re-register as Independents, enough to deprive McCarthy and/or McConnell of the gavel and make it known that the "America First Independent Caucus" holds all the power of the vote. I am hoping that bigger brains than mine may be able to figure out how...

Pretty sure if you tell somebody to be careful because they are standing too close to the train tracks before you karate kick them onto the tracks you can’t press charges.

She was warned, she refused to heed said warning, and she paid the price. Simple as that. Have a great Mothers Day. Also...

A doctor on the front lines of battling coronavirus in the US said this week that the rapid spread of the deadly bug has risen to the level of an “outbreak” — and possibly even a “pandemic.” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a member of the White House’s coronavirus task force, told NBC Nightly News’ Richard Engel Monday that the illness — which has infected 100 people, killing six in the US — is “an evolving situation.” “We’re dealing with clearly an emerging infectious disease that is now reached outbreak proportions...

A huge rally against gun control is shaping up to be a bizarre meeting of the minds. When gun lovers rally in front of the Virginia Capitol in Richmond next week, the local chapter of antifa will be there too. But their members won’t be wearing all black, and they don’t plan to douse right-wingers in milkshakes or Silly String.Instead, local antifa will join thousands of conservatives who are expected to descend on Richmond that day in protesting pending gun-control legislation introduced by Democratic lawmakers.SNIP“I think it’s been pretty important for us to focus on the fact that gun control...

First, thanks to JimRob for a site that lets us present not only articles and news, but opinion pieces. (I'll be kicking in another $100 here in a few minutes). Now, on to business. Freepers Ravi and SpeedyinTexas have done a bang-up job tracking registrations and early votes in IA, FL, and NC. My unnamed friends in Dayton, OH have been very good about giving me inside data from OH. Some time ago I predicted Trump would win OH, FL, IA, and NC. I think that's a given now. Pollster Richard Baris told him that Cankles' people privately told him...

Is twelve hours of wallowing in DU/Kos/HuffPo style posting about Ted Kennedy enough to get it out of your system? Or do you want to permanently shame this forum?I'm not saying to not speak the truth about the man, but many of the comments here are downright shameful.

Message with a TIGAN DRUG WARNING from my friend and State Senator: Thank you so much Sharon!!! I believe very strongly in the power of prayer and God's grace. The medication was Tigan and was administered as an anti-nausea medicine to stop her vomiting.

Sept. 28, 2005, 10:48PM Even dead, rattlers are dangerous Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle Even a dead rattlesnake can hurt you. Just ask Trey Hanover of College Station.
