Free Republic

Mail-in ballots are being received in Colorado today. The wife and I voted and dropped the ballot off at the city drop box. Due to US Postal Service employees having been caught throwing in the trash any suspected Republican ballot, I highly recommend voters drop their mail-in ballots in county or city ballot drop boxes. We voted for Trump! If Hillary wins, kiss your standard of living goodbye even more so than has happened in the past 8 years. Heck, you might even have to kiss your own butt goodbye since there will no doubt be even more assaults on...

On Friday, an audio-recording was released by The Washington Post from a 2005 bus ride en route to the filming of a soap opera episode to include then-TV reality show star and businessman Donald Trump and actress Arianne Zucker. ... While video of the bus traveling to and stopping at its destination to meet Zucker has also been broadcast, the audio of the conversation between Trump and Billy Bush, said to have been captured by a “hot mic” and widely condemned as “offensive,” is the subject of what The Post now calls a “crisis” within the Republican Party. ... According...

Went to Burger King today, and noticed at the bottom of the receipt a Bible verse: "Psalms 20:4 (NIV) May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed." Maybe the owners of this franchise deserve a little recognition for their stand. Seems Chick-fil-A and a few others have taken a stand while others have turned tail and ran from their faith. So, if you are ever in the Castle Rock, Colorado area, the two Burger King restaurants are owned by the same company. Even if you don't eat there, maybe send them a nice...

Apple Pay vs Samsung Pay – Technology This is where the two standards really differ. Apple's implementation of Apple Pay is really quite traditional, in the sense that it follows the NFC standard that had been established in previous mobile payment systems. You can only make Apple Pay payments in NFC reader-equipped retailers – those that still carry traditional card readers are entirely out of the loop until they upgrade. And that's where Samsung Pay could really trump Apple Pay. Thanks to Samsung's acquisition of LoopPay, it has implemented Magnetic Secure Transmission technology into its payment system. This essentially fools...

Has anyone else noticed local and national news reports routinely have victims of crime where a gun was NOT used proclaim, "I am glad they didn't have a gun"? I've been noticing this more lately. A local news story had a fist fight over a parking spot and one of the participants proclaimed, "Glad they didn't have a gun!" In another story, someone tried to steal a dog in a park. The person said the same thing, "Glad they didn't have a gun!" Liberals always follow the crowd, so maybe that is what their crowd says about every incident, or,...

Just an interesting observation that the Trump Hotel in Washington DC is due to open in 2016. It is located just three blocks from the Whitehut in the old Post Office Pavilion building.Google Maps of Area

Fox News continues to propagate the propaganda that the NSA needs to have our personal phone record metadata in order to prevent terrorism and that Americans against government intrusion of our privacy are hurting America. Phone record metadata includes the phone numbers involved, the time of the call, and the location of the phones at the time. This information is available from the phone carriers. We all have cell phone bills that show each and every phone call. For the San Bernadino muslim terrorist shooting, Fox News claims the FBI does not have access to metadata phone record information of...

Apple, the maker of the popular iPhone, iPad, and computers, is the subject of a new letter by human rights campaigners who are concerned that the electronics giant is facilitating forced abortions in China with its pregnancy testing policies.

In 1947, the Catechetical Guild Educational Society created this comic to describe exactly how Communists operate; how they think, act, and get people to accept Communism. A FReeper jogged my memory about this so I undertook the task to clean up photocopied versions of it, add page numbers, croppings, rotations, color enhancement, etc. I believe this is now an excellent PDF version useful to read or print. I hold no copyright of this material, so please feel free to distribute this. It is an easy to read lesson on exactly how Communists/Liberals operate. Clicking the link or image will take...

Flying has obtained information from a law enforcement source about the federal program that detains pilots upon their arrival at their destination airports and searches their airplanes. Training for the program was conducted via an “aviation drug interdiction” class sponsored by HIDTA (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area), a government organization that is a conglomerate of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies to fight, as the name implies, drug traffic. ...airplanes are approached often at gunpoint and usually by local law enforcement, who detain them until the Citation lands and federal agents arrive on scene. They are then ramp checked...

Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper is expected to sign into law a bill that would give the U.S. Secret Service "limited" police power while operating in the state of Colorado. The bill, SB 13-013, which has already been passed by both the Colorado House and Senate, has sparked a firestorm of controversy because of fears that the proposed power could be used by Secret Service agents, acting on behalf of the Obama administration, to arrest sheriffs in Colorado who refuse to enforce unconstitutional federal gun controls.

Is anyone else getting continuous calling from the Romney campaign with a prerecorded message about his campaign versus Obama? The little jackass thinks using robo-calling is a way to win voters? Hell, I’m likely to vote for Obama just because Romney is being so FReeping annoying! FUMR!!!

Since the government can now demand citizens buy something or else be taxed for it, and we have previously said this on FR but I wanted to re-introduce it, the Republicans should mandate the following taxes. Buy this Or Else Be Taxed: 1. Guns, one per year per family. Tax for not doing so: $1,000. 2. A Bible, one for each family member. Penalty: $1,000 per Bible not purchased.

RAYTOWN, MO (KCTV) - A gunman who killed a 60-year-old Raytown man is still on the run, and police believe a gang initiation could be to blame. ... Stone was standing on the sidewalk just after 7 a.m. Sunday in front of a gas station near 67th Street and Blue Ridge Boulevard. Detectives say Stone was just out for a morning jog, on his normal route, when a dark-colored, four-door sedan pulled by, slowed down, fired several shots at him, then pulled off, without ever stopping ...

Two trailer park residents in Dayton, Ohio are going to be battling this out in court over the next few months. Tattoo artist, Ryan L. Fitzgerald was hit with a $100,000 lawsuit last week by his ex-girlfriend Rossie Brovent. She claims that her boyfriend was supposed to tattoo a scene from Narnia on her back but instead tattooed an image of a pile of excrement with flies buzzing around it. Apparently Ryan found out that she had cheated with a long-time friend of his and this was his way of getting even. Originally Rossie tried to have Ryan charged with...

People often ask if there is a chart that shows the national debt for each year and one that shows which political party was President and held the Senate and House for each year. The following chart shows that information. I gathered the data and tried to arrange and format it so as to show without bias the debt spending throughout the life of our country since 1791. I have not added any commentary as to what the data shows, leaving that for you to decide. I created the data in Microsoft Excel 2010 and then exported the data into...

In celebration of the death of Osama Bin Laden, I post the funny Taliban Telemarketers audio clip that cracked us all up nearly ten years ago. This is the one with the FBI calling the "Mr. Taleeban" looking for Osama. Taliban Telemarketers
