    I know this is from January, but I'm encouraged by those that continue to work to expose the truth. There are many organizations in Michigan, which I'm a part of a few, that are working hard to expose the fraud and the intentional breaking of election laws, on and prior to election day. We have to continue to share information that sheds the light on these very important issues, with each of our "sphere's of influence". We all have them.

    Hope I'm doing this vanity right, don't post a lot. We're seeing a lot of very positive signs for our candidate as election day nears. Also seeing a lot of very positive and in some cases very over confident, posts here. Not opposed to any of it at all. However, I don't want to see any complacency, thinking it's in the bag. I'm a precinct delegate here in Oakland County, MI. I'll be volunteering locally today, tonight and tomorrow at the polling precinct locally. I guess the reason for my post is, if you're physically able to volunteer, please do...
  • POLL: John James Makes Up 10-Point Deficit Since June, Michigan Senate Race Now Dead Heat

    Breitbart ^ | 10/13/2020
    The New York Times reported James was down double digits in June, 41 percent to 31 percent. That gap has now narrowed to one point, 43 percent to 42 percent, according to the Times/Siena survey. Via the Times: The relatively high number of undecided voters reflects the relatively low profile of the two candidates. Around 20 percent of voters do not have an opinion on either of them. Mr. James’s favorability ratings have increased to 45 percent favorable versus 35 percent unfavorable, up from 36 percent favorable and 29 percent unfavorable in the June survey. Part of Mr. Peters’s weakness...

    First vanity, hope I'm not breaking rules. Looking for some assistance from KC freepers. Traveling through there in September and was wondering what the restaurant situation(due to Covid)is downtown and what area is best. Any recommendations greatly appreciated.

    "Wrong place at the wrong time." Who knew the wrong place to be on New Year's Eve was at a party welcoming in the new year? Who knew the wrong time to be murdered was now – when people are so callous about death that it's almost as if we're asking the victim, "Just what did you do to get yourself murdered?" There are many words to describe the senseless killing of Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams. Unfortunate. Heartbreaking. Sad. But here's the one word we can't use in describing such a death: Unexpected.

    American Spectator ^ | 8/4/06 | Chris Edwards
    Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) and fellow reformers on Capitol Hill have so far met with limited success in their efforts to cut government waste, but they have garnered a lot of attention from popular websites and blogs. And that's about to become the basis of their strategy. Mr. Coburn has proposed a bill to create an Internet database that would track hundreds of billions of dollars in federal contracts, grants, and other payments.
  • Google search "failure".

    10/11/2005 5:55:41 AM PDT · by TheRake · 13 replies · 494+ views
    I know that Google is very non-partisan. However, if you type in "failure" with out the qutation marks and click on "I'm feeling lucky", you'll end up at President Bush's Bio, on the White House web site. I don't know how long it will remain that way, but I just did it out of curiousity and sure enough it's true. It's totally disresectful but very predictable.
