So I go out to the living room to take a peek at Michael Bublé's Christmas In The City on NBC from 10-11 PM Eastern tonight (12/6/2021) and what to my wondering eyes should appear? Michael. Bublé. Was. Lip-syncing.LIP-SYNCING!I thought for a moment I was watching a replay of A Very Boy Band Holiday from earlier in the night on another network—where I fully expected to see the lip-syncing I observed. But Michael Bublé? One of the top male vocalists of the last few decades?? Lip-syncing??? Scandalous! Consequently, I've now lost a significant amount of respect for Michael Bublé. I...

President Donald Trump Addresses the Nation 4-1-17

As anyone who frequents this site should know, I've been a staunch supporter of President Trump ever since the primary season got rolling. Having acknowledged that, I've also stated clearly that I will point out when I think he has made a mistake, and this is the purpose of my posting. I hope he and his staff read this, although I can't for the life of me imagine why what I'm about to say isn't patently obvious. President Trump made a significant mistake during the course of issuing this Immigration EO for the 7 terrorist-friendly countries, and the mistake was...

Fellow FReepers, like many of you, I was appalled today at the disrespect for the national anthem of this country which was displayed by some NFL players on some teams. I would like to create a list of all NFL teams, along with what their players did during the playing of the national anthem before each NFL game this week. My team is the Miami Dolphins, and to my dismay, 4 Dolphins players (Arian Foster, Jelani Jenkins, Michael Thomas, and Kenny Stills) took a knee and refused to stand at attention during the playing of our national anthem before the...

In my humble opinion, the Republican party has effectively and totally destroyed itself with its relentless character assassination vendetta against its own frontrunner, Donald Trump. There will be no recovering from this. Here are the only possible scenarios I can see, as we finish the primary season and move into the GOP convention:Scenario #1: The only scenario that has the potential to expand the GOP demographic base permanently and beat Hillary is for Donald Trump to win the nomination and face Hillary in the general election, either with a clear majority or a near majority of delegates.Scenario #2: Ted Cruz...

Well, there you have it. The President has decided he is a KING who can rule by edict. With his totalitarian declaration that anybody selling a gun privately to another person should be required to be an FFL-licensed dealer, 0bama has officially become the overt Tyrant that the People have every right to fear. Congress should begin impeachment proceeding forthwith against this draconian Tyrant.Let me tell you who *I'll* be voting for for President: I'll be voting for whatever candidate has the courage to call this Tyrannical measure exactly what it is, and who calls for the impeachment of this...

Corey Jones packed up his drum sticks, got in his car and headed home. He had just wrapped up another gig in Jupiter with his band, Future Prezidents, and the Boynton Beach man was all smiles before he embarked south early Sunday, a band mate said. But his car broke down just after 3 a.m. He wouldn't make it home after that. The 31-year-old Boynton Beach man was shot dead by a Palm Beach Gardens officer who stopped to inspect Jones' vehicle, thinking it was abandoned, and a deadly altercation ensued, police said. "I don't understand," band mate Boris Simeonov...

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Stephen Curry had 26 points and eight assists, and the Golden State Warriors held off LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers for a thrilling 108-100 overtime victory in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night.

President Barack Obama appears to be dangerously close to what would be an historic rebuke at the hands of Congress, if the current whip-count projections on the authorization to attack Syria continue to hold. Pundits on both sides of the aisle say losing the high-stakes bid for congressional authorization would make Obama an instant lame-duck, and might well endanger his entire second-term agenda. The resolution authorizing an attack on Syrian strongman Bashar Assad, as punishment for his use of chemical weapons against his own people, is still expected to pass the Democratic-controlled Senate. But the real question mark all along...

MSNBC seems to have a new term in there vocabulary. Nothing follows...

Fineman and Zelnick were highly critical of Rather's arrogant declaration to "Prove Us Wrong". They said that is not a proper journalistic standard. Onus is on CBS to use authentic documents: originals. They both encouraged Rather and CBS to reconsider their untenable position. The criticism was significant, and it was from mainstream news personalities who were not wearing pajamas. This story has legs, even in the MSM. Rather will be doing some more backpedalling soon, I predict. It was quite refreshing to realize this isn't an issue simply on the internet.

"Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny," British parliamentarian Edmund Burke explained in 1800. Two centuries have passed, but legislatures continue to reinforce the link between bad law and tyranny. The U.S. Congress did so this week, with the passage of the ambitiously named Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act. Rare are the moments in American history when a Congress has surrendered so many cherished freedoms in a single trip to the altar of immediate fear. Crafted in Attorney General John Ashcroft?s little shop of legal horrors from ...

Paul Revere to Dr. Jeremy Belknap. [1798] In the fall of 1774 and winter of 1775, I was one of upwards of thirty chiefly mechanics, who formed ourselves into a committee for the purpose of watching the movements of the British soldiers, and gaining every intelligence of the movements of the Tories. We held our meetings at the Green Dragon tavern. We were so careful that our meetings should be kept secret that every time we met, every person swore upon the Bible that they would not discover any of our transactions but to Messrs. Hancock, Adams, Doctors Warren, Church ...
