Free Republic

For my fellow Texans.

Dangit, that's 8 months ahead of real life. But guess what - it's catchy.

I wanted to share a TV show that I enjoyed and now it's on public YouTube in its entirety.

I'm a fan of the whole crew at Unsubscribed, thought some of my fellow Freepers would enjoy, if you haven't seen/heard of these guys.

I know Glen is the key, and he basically told Roy Acuff to shut up. Roy was a bada$$. So when he shuts up, I wanna know who's the other folks in that choir.

Literally just a video of Garth when he hid his liberalism.

I'm a sailor, but these guys are still good with us.

Just sharing a song I haven't thought of for, well, more than minute.

I grew up watching this every fall...

Just an actual interview with a president who could speak in public, impromptu, and still funny.

So, Microsoft has been threatening me all year that they're going to force everyone to use "Outlook" on their computers, getting rid of "Mail". I use Outlook on my computer for a 'side hustle' business, and do not want to intermingle my email accounts on one application - and "Mail" does everything I need for my Yahoo/Gmail/etc. accounts. I've tried looking online for some, but can't really find anything that fits the job like the simple, basic "Mail". So, reaching out to the technocrati here at FreeP to see what y'all use for e-mail on a Windows laptop?

I miss articulate Presidents.

My first lesson on diversity came when I was about 7 years old. I was several years into the foster-care system, and the agency was struggling to find me a permanent home. After one of what felt like dozens of home visits, I asked my social worker why this was so hard. "It's because we don't know if you belong with a white family or a Black family," she said, matter-of-factly. This tidy explanation was a reference to my biological parents: my mother, who was white, and my father, who was Black. To her, it was a simple, even clinical,...

A new report indicates that a shortage of paper at multiple Harris County polling places on Election Day was more severe than initially indicated. According to KHOU-TV, 121 polling places did not initially receive enough paper to cover the voter turnout at their polling places. The county’s Elections Administration Office had previously estimated the number as being between 46 and 68 polling places. The county’s post-election review document admitted that its investigation “has not yet revealed how many of these VCs had to turn voters away due to a paper shortage,” using the abbreviation VC for “voting center.” [more at...

Olivia Julianna, an 18-year-old from Sugar Land, is shown Sunday, Sept. 5, 2021 in Houston. She was one of the TikTokers who hatched a plan to sabotage a pro-life group's "whistleblower" website by encouraging her peers to flood the website with fake complaints. "We grew up on Divergent and Hunger Games and all these things," Julianna said, referring to the dystopian books and movies. "They taught us to fight for what we believe in. To stand up for what we think is right. So now we're doing that."

A friend posted a meme about April 3, 2021 with wonder if it's a countdown (4, 3, 2, 1) - well, obviously that made me think of Major Tom.

My dad signed me up for the DNC emails (I hope as a joke..) but figured I'd share my answers, as well as the link, to any FReeper's who wanted to see it from the 'other (wrong) half'. https://go.stop-republicans.org/page/s/2021-Advisory-Board?source=MS_EM_SURV_2021.03.11_B1_Democratic-Advisory_X__F1_S1_C1__ns_RS

If anyone is looking to help my friend out, do NOT use Facebook. Here's why: Facebook - you're on my mind. You are a LEECH. A SCUM SUCKER. I, a disabled Navy veteran, donated to a classmate, friend, and fellow veterans benefit for his medical care. YOU, FACEBOOK, took a "fee" out of that donation. So, my donation wasn't a donation, it was a money making opportunity for you. I will be calling my financial institution at 12 Noon on 22 / Jan / 2021 (TOMORRROW) and refuting the charge if you do not either reverse the fee, or cancel...
