Free Republic

So - the last few days, Drudge has really been annoying, to the point that I am starting to think I'll just not go there. Yesterday the headlines went on and on about what a disaster it was to Trump that the Health Care bill went down. I had just listened to Mark Levin, who had some 'on the other hand' way of looking at it, and I was very encouraged it had gone down. I dropped them a note on the 'news tip' box, and it was gone next I looked. The day before there was something else equally...

I just heard Mark Steyn interview ("Pete" did he call him?) someone about Nunez telling President Trump that YES, there was surveillance. Steyn did not identify him before he signed off (!) - he was very good, very sure that Nunes did what was appropriate, very sure that the whole thing was very illegal. Anybody catch his name??

Here's a funny one. Liberal neighbor has aha moment. She told my husband - a geochemist/ water scientist - 'We thought it was so cool when they took out the Hetch-Hetchy dam (up by Oroville!!) and put in nature trails and little exhibits, so it could be back to the natural way it is supposed to be. But right now that doesn't seem like it makes very much sense. AND all the trails and exhibits were washed out by all this rain and flooding. Husband: "Yes, the humans got lost in the shuffle." Another liberal bitten by reality. For some...

Re riots in Portland and the police responding. I was thinking that perhaps the police were threatened by O-Me-Me when protesters walked on the freeway and so forth - that he would sic Loretta Lynch on them. Then I realized that no new AG has been voted in yet, right? Does that mean that Lynch is still in the position? Or is there a pro temp person in right now?? tx

So - what if the whole Trump thing is exactly what they did to George Bush, magnified 1000%? They made him out, in the media, on TV, in the blogs - to be a terrible person that NO ONE in their right mind would support. It was part of their strategy, pre-planning if you will, to make darned sure Obama would be elected and people would be wound up. So now it's Trump this, Trump that, Trump is crazy, Trump is hated by all the leaders of all the free world -- followed by "Obama urges people to unite and...

Since New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has endorsed Donald Trump, he has been: Humiliated by video showing Trump ordering him onto the plane and telling him to “go home.” Condemned by his former finance co-chair Meg Whitman. (“The Governor is mistaken if he believes he can now count on my support, and I call on Christie’s donors and supporters to reject the Governor and Donald Trump outright. I believe they will. For some of us, principle and country still matter.”) Excoriated for his disastrous TV interview on Sunday. Phrases like “train wreck,” “off the rails” and “disaster” were used to...

Did anyone else get a 'gift' from Amazon this morning of the Washington Post, complete with anti-Trump, anti-Christie, Trump IS KKK, etc. articles? It turned my stomach. Talk about a medium that can reach every home. Talk about unabashed ad hominem attacks. Is there anything left of our Republic if the media is not honorable? Am I asking too much to have a Free Press?

I STILL want to know what the Sheriff in Las Vegas knows - what reason the woman who intentionally drove on the sidewalk gave that the Sheriff 'was uncomfortable' sharing. Surely it is not that she had marijuana in her system. I heard she had yelled 'Allahu Akbar' and I believe that is true. I want to know more. Funny how it has dropped into the ether.

The Americans With No Abilities Act (ANAA) President Barack Obama and the Democratic Senate are considering sweeping legislation that will provide new benefits for many more Americans. The Americans With No Abilities Act is being hailed as a major legislative goal by advocates of the millions of Americans who lack any real skills or ambition. "Roughly 50 percent of Americans do not possess the competence and drive necessary to carve out a meaningful role for themselves in society," said California Sen. Barbara Boxer. "We can no longer stand by and allow People of Inability (POI) to be ridiculed and passed...

Go to article, please. It is long but at the bottom is the FB page I originally saw, with 'Congratulations to our Holy Martyr.' I trust Pamela Geller - seems solid enough. I am gathering data on this, because I think Islam is the missing link in this crash. This is some of the data I've seen on it. Sorry, too early to post body of thread with minimal computer skills.

Yesterday someone posted a Facebook page of Andreas Lubitz with that photo of him by the Golden Gate bridge -AND some jihadist stuff in French above that. Can you please post that again?

So - My beautiful (10 year old) BMW was just totalled by a young woman who ran a red and hit me. Totalled her car too. We both were fine. BUT .. when the ambulance came, they wanted to take my vitals and make sure I was ok. "What city are we in?" "Pasadena," I said. "Who is President," they asked me. "He who shall not be named," I laughed. "You don't like him?" NO WAY, I answered.

I am just out the door - saw this posted on Gateway Pundit. Indonesian government officials announced that the last words on the black box recorder of the Air Asia flight were (ta-dah): "Allahu akbar." Heading out the door to a rehearsal or I'd post properly!!

Anyone close up regarding the PEGIDA movement in Germany? German citizens taking a stand against the insane immigration policies/ Islamization of their country sounds right to me. From here, it sounds like the powers-that-be are demonizing it - reminds me of what they said about the Tea Party. Curious to have some feedback from those closer in. Thanks.

So - our son, his wife, and their one-year old are in the Princeton, NJ area. We are in Los Angeles. Those of you with grandchildren will know - this is TOO FAR! We are considering relocating, but not to NJ. Taxes, etc. :( Husband is hydrogeologist, so we think we'll be near consulting/ big city/ Philly perhaps. Does anyone know - Bucks County, Chester County (Montgomery County) ? Places to live that are not too far from work/ job centers? And still within Grandma Distance of Princeton?

Hear no evil. See no evil. Report no evil. When it’s Hamas supporters anyway. When I posted the video of anti-Israel protesters chanting “Heil Hitler” at pro-Israel supporters during Ezra Levant’s rally in Calgary Thursday (see here) you absolutely knew there was no way that attending media didn’t witness it and stayed silent – now we have proof that at least one did exactly that. While reading this piece “Silent vigil Palestinian solidarity” I noticed Calgary Herald reporter Erika Stark omitted the fact that Israel supporters were attacked even after referencing the event where it happened: Meanwhile on Twitter, Stark...

Does anybody have Verizon Home Phone Connect, and if you do, how do you like it? and do you find it useful? We are concerned that if we get it, our Verizon DSL might be impacted. It would be great to cut our home landline contract, but we're worried about losing the DSL. Thanks. Loving my FReeper FRiends. Happy Fourth of July.

Looking to get Android cell phone on T-Mobile, maybe Google Nexus 5. Any thoughts about T-Mobile network reliability or Nexus 5? Thanks.

Just need a quick, clear understanding of Net Neutrality. I think it is Activism because I am always suspicious of the government trying to control the Internet.

Oil Rig Worker Thinks He Saw Malaysia Air Flight 370 Go Down In Flames The Wire ABBY OHLHEISER, THE WIRE MAR. 12, 2014, 12:13 PM In yet another odd twist to the mysterious story of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, a New Zealand man working on an oil rig in the South China Sea has come forward to say he believes he saw the airplane on fire right around the time it disappeared. Mike McKay, a worker on the "Songa Mercur" drilling platform, sent an email to his bosses detailing his version of events. McKay said that he "observed the plane...
