I never thought such a thing could exist, but here’s a Ted Talk that is worthless It’s given by a woman with a Ph.D. in history who complains that she can’t find a husband who is taller than herself.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE8UHCDVYB8

President Trump blasted the DNC Chair race as “totally rigged” on Sunday, claiming that Hillary Clinton and her goons still run the Democrat party. In a scathing tweet, Trump claimed that the newly elected DNC chair, Tom Perez, was chosen by Hillary Clinton because of his anti-Bernie Sanders agenda.

When BTD employee, Derrick Cariveau extends a hand to introduce himself mid-shift, his palms are a little dirty, and he talks a little louder to make sure his voice carries over the noise of welding robots. The faint smell of welding smoke and coolant is detectable in the air—it's a shop where work gets done, but it's far from the sweatshop some may think when they hear "manufacturing." Safety is always put first, and the reality is that with robots breaking into—and reshaping—the manufacturing industry, a lot of the heavy lifting is being taken care of by robotic hands rather...

Connecticut residents are fleeing in large numbers to escape their state government. It’s known to locals as the Connecticut Exodus. The once-beautiful state has been leveled by an abusive Democratic-majority government. Even the few Republicans actually holding office would be considered Democrats in other regions of the country. It’s called the bluest state in the nation, and I think it would be hard to argue it isn’t the California of the east — minus the jobs, companies, good weather and innovation, of course. Outsiders think of Connecticut as a rich state in the northeast; many don’t know that they have...

I've seen the accusation of "fake news" thrown out a lot here at Free Republic. I have some questions for you: What do you define as "fake news"?What spurred you to use the accusation of "fake news" in your posts?What news sources do you trust?

NEW ORLEANS — At 75, Deacon John Moore considers himself one of the lucky ones: The scion of three generations of music-making Creoles, he’s been able to sustain himself with his guitar, raise a family, buy a house. Most other musicians here, he says, aren’t so fortunate. He’s tooling around the streets of Treme — one of the nation’s oldest black neighborhoods and the birthplace of jazz — in his ancient Volvo, pointing out all the gentrified houses, the ones with the jacked up rents. Everybody wants to live here now, he said. New Orleans is enjoying a renaissance 12...

Mary Carson picks up her leopard-print tote bag and tugs on her leopard-print scarf. “I’m just going to do a little bit of business,” the 77-year-old says as she walks into Neiman Marcus at the Tysons Galleria in Northern Virginia and asks for the manager. He appears in a pinstripe suit and shakes her hand. “I’m very disappointed in what’s happened with the Trump line,” she tells him. “I hate to do this — I’m not a real activist — but I learned a long, long time ago that you cannot mix business and politics.” The manager listens patiently. Carson,...

PROOF ITS AN INVASION! Anti-Islam activist Tommy Robbins gets assaulted within seconds of driving through a mostly Muslim part of town, while ironically discussing how violent people in Islam actually are for a TV show. we also know that this is currently happening in places such as Dearborn Michigan with Middle Eastern Muslims, as well as Minneapolis with Somali Muslims brought here by Bill Clinton. just not nearly as blatant!

In the politically correct future that social justice warriors are creating, Caitlyn Jenner-like athletes will likely dominate women’s sports A 17-year-old wrestler in Texas named Mack Beggs was born female, and is in the process of transitioning to being male. As part of this transition, Beggs is taking the hormone testosterone under a doctor’s supervision.As a wrestler who identifies as male, Beggs had wanted to compete in the boys’ wrestling league.However, the rules required Beggs to participate in the girls’ wrestling league.Normally in such competitions, participants are banned from taking hormonal drugs such as testosterone.But under today’s politically correct climate, where...

Lawmakers are inviting 'Dreamers,' Muslim-Americans and others to his joint address before Congress on Tuesday. House Democrats are seizing on President Donald Trump’s first major speech to Congress Tuesday as an opportunity to troll the new president in prime time. Many of the same Democrats who boycotted Trump’s inauguration are choosing not to skip his first address to Congress as president, instead opting to bring guests directly affected by the administration’s controversial policies on immigration and refugees and Republican attempts to repeal Obamacare. “It’s my hope that gallery is going to look like America,” said Rep. Jim Langevin (D-R.I.), who...

Strong words today from DNC Chairwoman Donna Brazile, who has been in hiding since she was busted twice feeding questions to Hillary Clinton before the 2016 presidential debates. But Spring is in the air, prompting even the lowest of Democratic reptilians from crawling out from their Winter safe spaces. Brazile wasted no time picking a fight with the Trump administration, all caught on camera during an epic meltdown that was absent any merit whatsoever. But why let reality and facts get in the way of a good rant? Video at link...

Did the New World Order mind set play a sick joke on Catholics and the Pope in particular with the design of Pope Paul VI's audience hall in the Vatican? The depictions in a horrific sculpture of Our Lord and the hall itself seem to resemble a snake's body! This is the hypothesis of English writer David Icke whose interpretation is featured in Outer Dark's video discussing construction details. According to Icke, "The global conspiracy is ruled by reptilian aliens who rule by blood lines and they control the world's resources. The elites are different from us." The video's producer...

Some of you may recall when I discovered back in 2009 that I had powers that even NASA didn’t know about: “I believe I’ve discovered that I have the power to make my dreams come true! “Well not always but if the sun, the moon and the stars are aligned just right, whatever I dream that night comes true. There must have been one of those rare celestial occurrences last year about this time as I came across this post when I was clearing my cache the other day. I should note that at the time I was still a...

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Nation of Islam) Racist whites teamed up with illegal aliens on the Democratic National Committee to reject a heavily favored black Muslim candidate for DNC chairman. Congressman Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), a friend of America-hating jihadists everywhere, had been expected to win the hotly contested race to become the in-your-face of the Democratic Party.

The activists getting ready for anarchist revolution have become totally unhinged, and await only Messiah Obama’s return to lead them to overturning the presidential election, and making life 100 percent left again Hold onto your soul, hold onto your perspective because ‘The Witching Hour’ has descended upon us. Screaming in high octave; refusing to accept the outcome of We the Peoples’ election; turning out for the Washington Women’s March in vagina costumes; using silly pussy caps as a symbol of stoked-up outrage and trying to smear President Donald Trump as the misogynist Male Chauvinist Pig of all time wasn’t working,...

Former Republican Presidential candidate John McCain attracted intense censure and scrutiny after calling for military intervention in a plethora of countries around the world and accepting donations from members of the Rothschild family. John McCain is widely regarded as a neo-conservative amongst many people in the Republican Party, engendered by his viral admission of “meeting with ISIS and staying in contact with them” and connections to George Soros, a liberal billionaire who is infamous for funding movements that contrast with conservatism. John McCain is not doing himself any favors in the political arena.

A new study shows that only 17 of 35,413 domestic violence incidents resulted in a gunshot wound. The study was based on police reports collected in Philadelphia in 2013. From psychcentral.com: A new study shows that when guns are part of domestic violence, women actually suffer fewer injuries, but experience greater fear. According to a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, thatÂ’s because when a gun enters the situation, women are more likely to back down than fight back. This is consistent with the use of guns in other crimes, and in self-defense. It is not limited to women....

Amber Lyon, a former CNN correspondent, says authoritarian regimes including Bahrain pay the news network to provide favorable coverage and censor its content. Instead of watch-dogging governments around the world, CNN is earning money from them, producing what might as well be called ‘Infomercials for Dictators’, sponsored shows and content that cast a positive light on some of the world’s most oppressive regimes.

It appears that one of the most visible achievements of Michelle Obama’s legacy as first lady will live on in the Trump White House: her garden. First lady Melania Trump announced last week that she would preserve the White House vegetable garden planted in 2009. It came as a surprise to many nutrition advocates and food policy experts, who had expressed fears that Michelle Obama’s garden and the health and nutrition initiatives it symbolized could be endangered under the Trump administration. Some advocates, including Michael Jacobson, president of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, are lauding the new...
