The Sad Eyed Tyrants take your money with no care or concern for you and your family. The Sad Eyed Tyrants are the Democrats who make their money complaining. They complain that life hasn’t been fair to them. Things happened that were beyond their control that have grievously harmed them. They just can’t make the life that they want for themselves. They are in political commercials and news stories telling everyone their plight. And they always have sad eyes. You have to use your wits and your strength and your determination and your sacrifice and your education and your experience...

The government of The United States exists to serve ALL the citizens of The United States. The government of The United States DOES NOT exist to serve the following: 1. Leaders and nations hostile to The United States such as China and Iran and Venezuela. 2. Government employees. 3. The Democrat party. 4. Nations that compete with us such as Russia and Britain and Saudi Arabia. 5. Single issue groups such as homosexuals and environmentalists and feminists. 6. Criminal organizations. 7. A specific religion. 8. People of one skin color. 9. Descendants of ancestors from a different nation. 10. People...

There is a lot of talk these days about privileged white males. I guess I am considered to be white. I am a male. Come from privilege? My Dad was the youngest of 11 kids. His Dad lost the farm. My Dad dropped out of school in the sixth grade and ran away from home. He became a juvenile delinquent and worked menial jobs and lived in various places and with his older siblings until he was old enough to join the Army. Then he went to The Korean War and served on the front lines as a Combat Engineer....

Read to your children from Aesop’s Fables. Read them the story of The Goose That Laid The Golden Eggs. This will teach them about greed and how the Democrat Party is killing The USA. Read them the story of The Dog With The Bone. This will also teach them about greed and envy and how the Democrat party is killing The USA. We had a copy of Aesop’s Fables in our house when I was a child. The stories are thousands of years old. They teach you that the nature of humans hasn’t changed much over that time. There have...

Those Big Steel Beasts Of War Have Got to Roll A Tribute To America’s Tankers It’s o-dark thirty and Top is calling roll Miss the formation and you’ll wish you were in a hole Walk police call without any badges or phones Buff the floor and paint all the stones Those big steel beasts of war have got to roll Have another dip in the cement motor pool lads Hollywood doesn’t make movies about changing track pads Check the filters, check the lights and put oil in little jars There’s no drinks to be had at the torsion bars Those...

Biden said that last night in his speech. “Rule” He thinks he rules over us. Like we are serfs or slaves or peons. This speech angers me like no other American speech I have heard in my lifetime. Did Jellyhead Joe descend from the sun god so that he could rule us mere mortals? What will it take to anger the Republican leaders? What will it take to anger the American people? The people of this nation fought a revolution to throw off the yoke of a man who thought he ruled over us. I will not be a serf...

I was a Staff Officer at a field command post during a military training exercise several years ago. A Three Star General came in to evaluate my performance. I gave him a quick briefing on how things were going. He stopped me in mid-sentence and asked me to define a word I had spoken. I was confused. I assumed he understood the word I used (I can’t remember the exact word now). I tried to explain. He cut me off. “Words have meanings”, he explained. ‘They have specific meanings. If we all don’t understand and agree to the meaning of...

It has been three weeks since Veteran Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed. Has the shooter been identified?

Does anybody know? Have there been any stories about the shooter? It’s almost three weeks now.

I came across a book entitled THE CENTURION when I was a boy. It was written by a Frenchman named Jean Larteguy (pen name). The book is about a group of French Paratroop Officers in the 1950s in Vietnam, France and Algeria. Marvelous book. One of the scenes in the book is an alley in Paris. There are many cats in the alley symbolizing the citizens of France. The leader of the alleycats, if I remember right, is a big, white male who is missing an eye. He is the king of the alleycats. A woman tosses a bag of...

I haven’t seen anything about state militia being called to federal service. States are sending armed militia to sleep in our Capitol? That is the Capitol of The United States Of America! It is not the Capitol of New York or California! This is a police matter! May God damn any militia supporting this Democrat insurrection! Where is the threat? Without a serious threat, moving armed militia to the Capitol of The United States Of America is illegal and should be considered an insurrection by the states sending them. Federal forces need to remove them! If not, there is no...

Why did our politicians run away from their jobs like scared chickens last Wednesday? What are their duties and responsibilities? They are elected to represent the citizens of The United States (even the Senators these days). Did you feel like they were representing you on Wednesday when they turned tail and fled from American citizens? Not one politician had the guts to stand up on a chair and ask to hear the grievances of these American citizens. They ran. They ran like cowards. Why? They all seem to like to get up in front of everybody, but this time NONE...

The Democrat Party leaders were unanimous in their praise on Thursday of the actions of the British Soldiers at Lexington during the Revolutionary War. “A few dead rabble rousers is just what we needed” said Joe Biden. “Those people needed to learn their place in this world, and their place is obeying tyrants.” Nancy Pelosi had this to say. “I wish I could invite every redcoat who killed one of those rabble rousers to come to my mansion and feed them $15 a pint ice cream.” Chuck Schumer was not to be left out. “Who were those Americans who thought...

Our tough talking politicians ran like scared chickens yesterday. They ran and hid. That tells you everything you need to know about the politicians in Washington. They are cowards. Out of all the billions of dollars spent to find politicians to fill government jobs, This is what we get? Cowards? People too afraid to stand up and talk to unhappy American citizens? Not one, NOT ONE POLITICIAN had the backbone to stand and face the American public. Oh, they’ll tell you that their security told them to run, but did we elect their security? This is what we get for...

I think that it is time to do away with, on Free Republic, the idea that French Soldiers aren’t very brave. I am a retired American Soldier so I don’t owe the French anything. I am currently reading a book about the Korean War (1950-1953). It is titled IN MORTAL COMBAT. I am at the point where China has entered the war. The Chinese have sent hundreds of thousands of Soldiers into Korea. The UN forces have been rocked. The South Koreans are falling back. The US troops are falling back. The English are falling back. The Turks are falling...

I’m a lineman. That’s the term The Director gave to people like me. “You are like linemen. Your job is to protect the quarterback.” I don’t know why she likes to use football analogies. I guess she thinks we’ll feel better about our jobs if we imagine we are NFL players. We don’t kneel to support some political cause though. We kneel because it makes us smaller targets and smaller targets are hard for the Reps to hit. Some of us who actually played football wanted to point out to The Director that not every lineman was there to protect...

I watched a documentary about a pack of Wild Dogs in Africa when I was younger. It was fascinating. The pack was run by a head male (Alpha Male) and a head female (Alpha Female). There were several other dogs in the pack. One of the females gave birth to a litter of puppies. She was not the Alpha Female. The Alpha Female went over to the den where the puppies were, and killed each and every puppy. This killing was not done in self defense. The puppies could barely move. The killing was not done as a merciful act...

The citizens of The United States fought a Revolutionary War to give themselves the responsibility of choosing their own leaders. It is a responsibility. Too many Americans think that electing a President is just a game that is played every four years. This kind of thinking is a great disservice to the men who spent years discussing, investigating and thinking about how a country should be. Voting isn’t just about flipping a coin to decide who our chief executive will be. Voting is a rigorous means of improving our citizens. Voting is a rigorous way to improve everything about our...

The dreams, like many things in his life, started out small. There would be a faint noise like the sound of the wind coming through a crack in the window frame. He would see a flash of light. It reminded him of the many camera flashes he had endured over the years. He would awaken and see nothing but darkness and hear nothing but the faint sound of his heart beating. It was nothing. Nothing that could hurt him. But the dreams became longer. Were those screams? Who was that old woman looking at him with such sad eyes? He...

Marijuana has been called a “Gateway” drug. The thinking is that once a person experiences the effects of pot, they will have lost their reluctance to try stronger drugs such as cocaine, meth and heroin. “I smoked pot and lived through it. I kind of liked it. Maybe the stronger drugs won’t hurt me. Maybe they will be like pot, only better. They probably won’t kill me. Plus, it’s kind of exciting.” We sit after this election wondering how so many of our fellow citizens feel the need to cheat to achieve a political goal. Cheating is against the rules....
