OK, I've had it with Facebook. I've been on there for a year or so, only because of my kids and grandkids, and a few, close, personal friends. My total number of "Friends" on there is only 54, (and a few of those need to go). Now - in order to get their hooks into more people - you only get to read the "News Feed" IF, you add "more friends". They've blocked me at only one post I can read, until I add more friends. I refuse. I've got the friends I want, and that's all I want. It's...

Need Trump Rally Video that will play on Explorer 12, in Windows 7

This 60 year old cartoon eerily predicts exactly what is happening in society today with the encroachment of socialism/communism. Every young person should see this cartoon.

I did a slight adjustment to Baracks new "portrait"....(or maybe, "POTrait") to make the "garden setting" a little more appropriate for him.

Photobucket has gone nuts. I'm looking for a new, photo-sharing website with the following attributes:

I had occasion to call my cable provider (DISH) yesterday, and while talking to them I asked when they would start carrying "One America News". The rep had obviously never heard of it, so had him send the request to their programming department. All to say this, they obviously need a flood of request to pick up OAN, it would be nice if Freeper with DISH, looking for a conservative news source to replace Faux News, would call them and just request, or even demand it. Their number is 1-800-333-3474. I've been on FR for a long time, but have...

During the debates, Romney brought up the fact that under obama, healthcare costs have not been cut in half, but in fact, doubled. Well, for me, that chicken has come home to roost. I am retired, and on Medicare, but my wife has us covered under her insurance. She is a manager for a major retail chain, which just announced the "changes" in healthcare coverage for the new year. We have always signed up for the top plan, the PPO, because I like to use doctors of my choice. For about five years we've been paying about $430 per month...

Got this in email, it is hilarious. Great video editing

I don't do many posts, so I hope I have this right. This is a cherished photo of my Dad, who was in Pearl Harbor in 1941 during the attack.

I seldom post a vanity, but with the left now trying to put obamacare at the feet of the GOP, I thought this image might help dispel such rumors, if, Freepers were to copy it and make it "viral" in your email to everyone you know.

On FOX News this morning there was a School Board Member, Paul D. D'Angelo, from the Waterbury School, of Waterbury, Connecticutt who was engaging in a lone fight against the principle of that school who is forbidding students from saying "Merry Christmas"...they have been ordered to change it to "Happy Winter". I was caught up in this man's courage to go against the majority of the school board and the principle in this liberal state, to fight for the American tradition of Christmas and freedom of religion and speech. I sent him the following email this morning: Mr. Dangelo, I...

Pardon my vanity...only the 2nd one in 9 years. Recently on FR I saw an article about Alaska Sarah Palin where some of the Government officials were slamming her, so I wrote them emails. I wrote the folling to AK State Representative David Guttenberg (D): Rep. Guttenberg, I am writing you in regards to these comments reported by the Associated Press regarding Governor Sarah Palin. "I think her speech was not directed to us but right over our heads to a national audience," said Rep. David Guttenberg, D-Fairbanks, who remembers a much different Palin from just six months ago. This...

I was informed today that my fifth-grader Granddaughter has an unusual homework assignment, in keeping with Black History Month...make a model of an Afro-American. Yep, they are to take modeling clay, or a similar medium, and make a "model" of an Afro-American. This opens a couple of questions: 1. If the model is not absolutely perfect, and one feature or another is not proportional, etc., will she be given a bad grade for "stereotyping"? 2. Will Black parents be brought in to file racism charges if the "models" are not perfect? And finally... 3. Will the class have an assignment...

SOUTH DAKOTA GOVERNOR JANKLOW RECEIVES JANUARY ‘PORKER OF THE MONTH’ AWARD &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp (Washington, D.C.) – Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW), America’s largest taxpayer watchdog group, today announced South Dakota Gov. William Janklow (R) as the recipient of its January "Porker of the Month" award. Janklow earned the award for publicly threatening to use the state police to collect the South Dakota sales tax – even if it means pulling over and searching UPS and FedEx trucks. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp "Gov. Janklow’s grotesque remarks about searching delivery trucks traveling through South Dakota sound more like the threats of ...
