Free Republic

What you are witnessing is the beginning of the Clinton collapse. You will recall this is how it started with Jeb. We were told Jeb was ahead and Trump was a sideshow but little sprouts of polls here and there were saying otherwise. At the very least by end of October the Republican support and the independent support will be overwhelming for Trump. Turn out and minority votes will be icing on the cake.

Buford Pusser Was a Republican Over the Labor Day weekend I watched the original Walking Tall (1973) again. It was so long since I last watched it that it was like watching it anew. It is hard nowadays to recall the impact that movie made when it was first released. Many consider it the redneck's Billy Jack which was released a couple of years earlier which sounds like a good description. Like Billy Jack, the main character of Walking Tall, Buford Pusser, took vengeance upon the bad buys of the notorious State Line Mob of southwestern Tennessee. However, unlike...

E-waste recycling is a source of much needed income in many low to middle income countries Electronic product innovations satisfy many needs, including the desire of people to stay connected around the globe. As new products are continually introduced into the marketplace, consumers replace existing electronic products that are damaged or simply outdated. The resulting mass of electronic products discarded is becoming the fastest growing waste stream in the world leading to polluted environments. (1) Electronic waste (e-waste) which includes all types of electrical or electronic equipment is produced in staggering quantities, estimated globally to be 41.8 million tons in...

The all-purpose fallback Charles Lane is a columnist for the Washington Post, which is about as in the tank for Hillary as any media outlet not spelled CNN. As such, he probably sees his role as a participant on any Fox News panel as balancing his conservative counterparts - in this case, Charles Krauthammer and Tucker Carlson. That’s fair enough. It probably is what Fox wants him to do. But it’s one thing to provide balanced based on a bona fide different point of view compared to your counterparts. It’s another thing to reach for any rejoinder, no matter how...

Environmentalists fear Brexit could see European rules on water cleanliness being undermined. But could leaving the EU result in filthy coastlines and smelly beaches? Until recent decades, swimming in the sea off the coast of Britain could be a perilous and unhealthy activity. "We were frequently surfing in poo," says Steve Crawford, who remembers the seas off Cornwall in the 1970s and 80s and is now a member of the campaign group Surfers Against Sewage. "Back then sewage just went straight to sea. There was no treatment - it was just basically chopped and sent, not even that far out...

The conventional wisdom is that the city fathers of big cities and gangs are at opposite ends of the spectrum. That may be true in many cities but it isn’t true in Chicago. The incestuous relationship between aldermen and gangs blurs the line between good and evil. 85 years of Democratic rule has left Chicago with a reputation as the most corrupt city in the US. It is well earned. Aldermen are kings (or queens) of their wards. They wield immense power. They control patronage jobs, zoning, city contracts, property tax reduction and permits in their wards. It is a...

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) issued a report this week indicating that the IRS had discovered more than a million cases of identity theft but failed to notify any of the victims. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen defended the lack of effort to inform the taxpayers whose identities were stolen as "not the agency's job. Look, in the vast majority of these thefts the stolen IDs are merely being used by undocumented residents to obtain employment. There is no negative impact on the government. If a person's ID is stolen and someone else uses it to get a...

In old politics it would be obvious that the FBI was trying to help Hillary Clinton by releasing the type of devastating report it did on the Friday of this long holiday weekend. In old politics the Democrats could bank on few people seeing it or hearing about it and Hillary would dodge a bullet. In old politics by Tuesday the “Move along folks nothing to see here” mantra would kick in and Democrats could breathe a sigh of relief. The problem Hillary and the Democrats have is that we are no longer playing the game in old politics. Donald...

There are many pros and cons on carrying a 45 cal handgun for your everyday carry as a personal defense weapon. Experts and common JoeÂ’s like us choose brands and models based on afford ability, gender, hand size and functionality. (stopping power) Most of us will agree the 45 has good stopping power and yet there are some school of thoughts a 10mm will have the same effect. Then there are debates on the stopping power versus accuracy, the later being more important to focus on. And yes, last the bullet itself, the reloaders will talk about the best amount...

Investors in the transportation sector are facing a sea of change thanks to the rise of online commerce. A major part of that change is Amazon.com, and the firms move towards using in-house transportation portends of more evolution to come. With thousands of shipments daily, Amazon.com is leading the way in creating its own in-house transportation via airplanes. This could potentially pave a path for other online retailers, as well as for the future development of other devices like drones which threaten companies that may not have the available funds to invest in them.

This has to drive CNN nuts. “Trump is a racist! Trump’s trip to Mexico was terrible! Trump’s immigration speech was pure evil!” That’s been the drumbeat from CNN, which has all but ignored the latest round of Hillary Clinton’s criminal scandals in an effort to prop up their memory-challenged queen. In the process, they’ve sacrificed ratings and what little credibility they had left. ...So It must annoy them to no end that their own poll shows it isn’t working. Since the same poll was last taken, Trump has erased Hillary’s double-digit lead and pulled ahead by two.

Clinton must now avoid the press, the FBI, the Justice Department and above all - the truth “And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth? Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man falleth before wicked men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him.” (2 Sa 3: 33-34) Americans are not likely to change course because one writer provides a condensed version of ancient Biblical history in an article. It is daunting to pull a powerful principle from an event that transpired so long...

The hell with the conservative base, Rona. Keep on pandering to special interest groups It is way too early to decide if Kellie Leitch will be or should be chosen by the Conservative Party of Canada as its next leader. If she did nothing else last week, the orthopaedic pediatric surgeon-turned-politician showed one thing. There is very little difference between the CPC and the Liberal Party headed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Leitch came under fire after she mailed out a questionnaire asking, among other things, if immigrants to Canada should be screened for “anti-Canadian” values. The reaction to her...

Blame it in 'George Putin' Good Morning, America! Good Morning on this fateful ‘Hit the Ground Running’ after Labor Day day, on which the propaganda of the Democrat/Mainstream Media hits an all time high. This is the day when congenital liar Hillary Clinton gets to joke about Donald J. Trump-given allergies for her violent coughing fits—and the media carries that message as their main headline story! Special: "Cocktail" Drink Could Finally Be The Alzheimer's Cure This is the time when the Democrats, through vice president hopeful Tim Kaine chose to out Vladimir Putin as the new George W. Bush, and...

The old saying "the proof is in the pudding" isn't a bad bit of wisdom. That's why the advice to go see for yourself has borne up over the years. Such it was over the entire Labor Day weekend, as we drove through southern Ohio on a series of jaunts that took us through Fayette, Clinton, Highland, Adams, Clermont, Brown, and Hamilton counties along some of their major and minor highways. What I saw over the weekend really struck me. First, I saw that the hesitation to put up signs in support of Trump has apparently become passé . I...

Today’s post is dedicated to Phyllis Schlafly.Phyllis Schlafly 1924 – 2016A great lady and a great conservative who let her intellect and conscience be her guide. How quaint.Schlafly took many unpopular positions in her life, beginning with her anti-feminism stance:While many of Schlafly’s positions were out of step with the cultural “mainstream” her bravest position may have come last December when she announced her support for a Donald Trump presidency long before his candidacy was a fait accompli  and when no other “bona fide” conservative would touch him. “He does look like he’s the last hope [for America],” Schlafly said....

BleachBit, hammers and public lies, oh my; The stench of her YouTube Benghazi alibi. Perverts and bimbos with Weiner & Slick Willy, Hill’s character & judgement’s truly quite silly. Syria, ISIS, and her Middle East ablaze, Muslim Brotherhood still advises her ways. A slush-fund foundation built on pay-to-play, Dead broke to uber rich, the Clinton way. Head trauma, “amnesia” and 13 devices, Hill’s cleaners excused with FBI passes. Rule of law and blind justice bounced on it’s ass, Tricky Dick Nixon is surely aghast. For America to remain the home of the brave, We must not elect her or we...

In a great example of government-business cooperation, Ancestry.com, the largest for-profit genealogy company in the world, will be bringing the past alive by allowing lucky subscribers to hear the voices of their ancestors on early recorded phone conversations. "Lucky" because there were only about 12 million telephones in the U.S around 1917 for a population of over 100 million, so not everybody had one, as they do today. Even though the NSA did not exist before WW II, the world of signal's intelligence, or SIGINT, goes back to the Boer Wars in 1900. Crude, and not used to great purpose...

Trump is simply the greatest threat to the Establishment since JFK. The Establishment defined as the military-industrial complex, Wall Street and the corporate and political elite. The Establishment robber barons hate Trump because he’s uncontrollable. They know Trump will never be a puppet if he’s elected President. And, if he is elected, the Establishment’s gravy train: the endless, unwinnable wars, the Wall Street crony capitalism, the lousy trade deals that bring in billions to the elite and garrote the American worker, will be a thing of the past. Therefore, Trump must be destroyed at all costs. Enter the Establishment’s best...

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump questioned Friday how Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton became enormously wealthy running a charity, which has become the focus of the campaign’s allegation of pay-to-play corruption while she was secretary of state. “The question I always ask is, what product were they selling? If we make a buck, we sold a bottle of wine or an apartment, or we sold a hotel room. What product were they selling to make $150 million,” Mr. Trump said on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.”Host Ainsley Earhardt suggested: “Favors? The government?” “Of...
