Free Republic

Hello FR, Some of you may know through my posts of our total loss of our Spring Fair season. It is looking like our Summer season will now be a bust. Now instead of crying about it, while mowing down one of our pastures, (because our tractor broke and we can't afford for Randy to come and take care of the fields), I had an idea. The idea would incorporate multi-media to create a virtual store at the Fair. Now I have no money, but I do have an existing website that still needs to be brought up to snuff....

Hello there fellow freepers! Thining about a net for us Kung Flu shut ins...Maybe 80m or 40m. Evenings might be best for all involved...what say anyone? N6TDG

For those that may be interested, here is live coverage of the fire/s in Northern Californa. 180 thousand people have been evacuated. More evacuations are being called for. WInds peaked out with gusts at 93 mph. https://www.ktvu.com/live

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaHEusBG20c Was nodding off at my desk writing scripts here in the RV for tomorrows prodiction...anyway I went looking for something to wake me up.... This was it! Two Minutes and 55 seconds of pure wake me up!

Snip: I asked myself a question, after reading these posts: “Is there an alternative to confirming or not confirming Kavanaugh?” When a choice appears starkly binary, a third path appears impossible, by definition — but might possibly still be worth seeking. I tried to place myself in Kavanaugh’s position, while generating a potential answer (and think that I can do so with some justification, having been publicly identified as reprehensible by many people—prominent journalists, activists, and academics among them). Snip: Having said all that, I would like also like to point out that I am not claiming that the opinion...

The Whiskeytown fire has gotten out of control. Huge walls of fire have now rolled through the western portions of the city of Redding, CA that has a population of around 90,000. There are reports of Fire Tornados ripping through neighborhoods. The Sacramento River was breached. Evacuations on going. Mass confusion. Firefighters have stopped working to fire and have go to a life saving mode to rescue those that they can. Entire neighborhoods are gone. No estimate on the number of homes lost right now. Redding Police and Shasta County Sheriff's Department can not pinpoint road closures as the fire...

TexasGurl24 had a post this morning. Very important. Is there a Freeper that has access to Lexus-Nexus to check and see if Corfman had a case in 2007 in Etowah COunty, Alabama and its result and if there are any depositions available, etc... Roy Moorew has probalby another 24 hours before he is out of the campaign. I heard his radio interview with Hannity. Moore did not help himself. There are many reasons for this for another post further down, but the important issue right now is to see if Corfman had any case in Etowah. Whoever can find this...

The Wall Fire grew from 2700 acres overnight to 4700 acres. The fire is located right up the street. This morning P G and E cut power to homes in the area. Evacuations everywhere one turns. For more information, #WallFire. Listening to scanners last night and things got dicey around three am when there were reports of the fire jumping Miner's Ranch Road, but evidently that was not the case as of yet. First it was the dam this winter and now the fire. The Fire began in an area that was hit about four years ago. It has now...

Trump has AZ locked. thats 11 ev, plus 3 ev for AL, plus 3 for winning NE PLUS 2 ev for Cong dist. Trump is now at 270 w/o MI or PA being called tonight. Although that will be gravy. Fox has him at 254...add the above 11+3+2 (NE Cong dist) equals 270

First: I am going to re-institute a 5-year ban on all executive branch officials lobbying the government for 5 years after they leave government service. I am going to ask Congress to pass this ban into law so that it cannot be lifted by executive order. Second: I am going to ask Congress to institute its own 5-year ban on lobbying by former members of Congress and their staffs. Third: I am going to expand the definition of lobbyist so we close all the loopholes that former government officials use by labeling themselves consultants and advisors when we all know...

This is what was gleamed from tonights AMA on Reddit with James o'Keefe https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/57jd2p/hi_im_james_okeefe_ask_me_anything/ Thank you everyone. I want to give as much details as possible, but this is timed for Monday, Tuesday and days after. I know you want all the juicy details now but I need to balance the need of opening myself up to this community with not scooping myself and breaking the story now. I've tried to give you as much information as possible for now. Thank you again! I can not do this without you spreading the message when the Bombshell drops! Have a good...

Over the weekend, Donald Trump’s son and one of his closest advisers posted an odd photo on their social media accounts: This raised some important questions. Why is there a frog standing directly behind Trump? That’s Pepe. He’s a symbol associated with white supremacy. Wait. Really? White supremacy? That’s right. Please explain. Here’s the short version: Pepe is a cartoon frog who began his internet life as an innocent meme enjoyed by teenagers and pop stars alike. But in recent months, Pepe’s been almost entirely co-opted by the white supremacists who call themselves the “alt-right.” They’ve decided to take back...

...TRUMP: Totally. I had nothing to do with— the campaign had nothing to do with it. He’s got a problem with The National Enquirer. I have no control over The National Enquirer. I had no idea about the story. I just got it last night. I had nothing to do whatsoever with The National Enquirer, neither did the campaign. For him to say I had to do with it, try and put the shoe on the other foot is disgraceful. And by the way, He’s the one that started it. From what I hear, he and his campaign went out...

One of the most surprising comments this year came from a closed session on fintech where I sat next to someone in policy circles who argued that we should move quickly to a cashless economy so that we could introduce negative rates well below 1% – as they were concerned that Larry Summers' secular stagnation was indeed playing out and we would be stuck with negative rates for a decade in Europe. They felt below (1.5)% depositors would start to hoard notes, leading to yet further complexities for monetary policy.

Excerpt.... Axiom has also worked for candidates and causes that might make a Ted Cruz supporter balk. Federal election records show the National Republican Congressional Committee, an establishment party organ and bête noire to the far right, paid Roe’s firm nearly $90,000 between 2009 and 2014 for strategy consulting, among other things, according to federal election records. Roe helped mainstream Republican Senator Pat Roberts in Kansas—a RINO in the eyes of many conservatives—defeat a Tea Party challenger and win re-election in 2014. Perhaps most damaging in the eyes of movement conservatives, that same year Roe’s mail firm was behind a...

n a sermon last year at an Irving, Texas, megachurch that helped elect Ted Cruz to the United States Senate, Cruz’ father Rafael Cruz indicated that his son was among the evangelical Christians who are anointed as “kings” to take control of all sectors of society, an agenda commonly referred to as the “Seven Mountains” mandate, and “bring the spoils of war to the priests”, thus helping to bring about a prophesied “great transfer of wealth”, from the “wicked” to righteous gentile believers.

Rattling around my brain for some time now has been the Manifesto of 1890 by the Church of Latter Day Saints and how it led to the eventual statehood for Utah. Basically, the Manifesto of 1890 had the church strip the polygamy tenets from their religion. Islam in its current form is incompatible with a democratic republic. The United States has a precedence in having a religion change one of its core tenets. Sharia Law could be separated from Islam so that Islam could be compatible with the western world. The problem with this idea though, is that the government...

I am searching for the original threads on September 11th. I have a couple bookmarked. The reason I am searching is that perhaps there were contemporary posts at the time Muslims were scene celebrating the destruction of the Twin Towers within those threads. There might even be video links involved, though no doubt dead links by now. Who knows? Thanks for the help. It is interesting to read the real time posts of that day...

The title says exactly what is known. The only addition is that it was being diverted due to a security incident. Flight 65 from LAX to Paris has been diverted to Salt Lake City.
