Free Republic

Today we will ponder America, a country, even a civilization, that existed long ago where the United States is today, but bore little resemblance to it. It will be like studying cave drawings, or Sargon of Akkad. Pay attention. The is original source material of historical importance. I was there, in America: Athens, Alabama, at age twelve. Athens was small and Southern, drowsy in summer, kind of comfortable feeling, not much concerned with the outside world. It left the world alone and the world left it alone. In those days, people in a lot of places figured this was pretty...

Here's mine.

We already know that Donald Trump’s Deputy National Security Advisor Dina Powell is a DC insider. She was photographed with Barack Obama’s closest advisor Valerie Jarrett. She has also been captured with Huma Abedin at two different social functions that took place over four years apart. It’s now been learned that Powell is also quite comfortable around Hillary Clinton’s senior advisor and political hit man Philippe Reines. Described as Hillary’s “attack dog”, Reines likely held the position of Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Strategic Communications at the time he was photographed with Powell.

Friday morning, just after midnight as I was turning off the TV from watch a movie on Netflix, I felt a sudden pressure and pain in the center of my chest. This pain went through my chest to my back and a bit in my left upper arm. There also, for some strange reason an ache in my right elbow, and later radiatingup my back to both side of my rear neck. I woke my girlfriend who is an RN. She took my blood pressure which is usually normal, but this time was 189/129. The next important number was 911....

Like a good American dad, my holster broke on me today while sliding down the slide at the public park with my daughter...

Aw right! we The People overcame vote fraud and got Trump into the Presidency. Now, we need to start sending in suggestions for his administration. I want to start the process with what I consider the most vital issue for America's future: how to make the election process honest and reflective of the TRUE will of we the sovereign people. And no, this does not and will not endorse tossing out the most brilliant aspect from our founding fathers and mothers, the electoral college. Yes, I'm actually asking fellow Freepers to weigh in on ways to fix the corrupted voting...

Good afternoon folks. I am posting this to thank Jim Robinson for such a light and yet very functional and practical site. I am honored to be able and participate. Text Content counts more than visual aesthetics and Bangles and Bling. Very well done considering his geographic location and demographics. I will be jumping in to the comment sections as soon as possible but have to first warn you all of my background and position. I am a Christian Minister who has lost his way and can no longer claim Righteousness. Too much has happened that can be pointed as...

There is no such thing known or recognized anywhere in the world as "illegal immigrants" or "undocumented immigrants" except here in the USA. To the rest of the world, such people are trespassers and in not a few treated as spies. Here, we give out benefits whether they are spies or not. We are generous to such a fault that we subsidize our own demise. Democrats stacked the deck by defining the narrative. The national press have prostituded themselves out as Orwellian lemmings who are all too happy to euphemize and obfuscate, whatever their personal reasons may be, to further...

The ongoing criminal probe surrounding Hillary's email server has been marked by opacity and lack of virtually any disclosure, not to mention a major turf war between the FBI and the DOJ, which is why many were surprised when overnight the WSJ revealed that at the center of the probe over Hillary's handling of classified information are a series of emails between American diplomats in Islamabad and their superiors in Washington about whether to oppose specific drone strikes in Pakistan. As the WSJ writes, the 2011 and 2012 emails were sent via the “low side’’—government slang for a computer system...

Hillary Clinton breathed new life into her "girl power" campaign last week when she complained in a New York Magazine interview about latent sexism. According to Mrs. Clinton, she'd encountered people at campaign events who told her "I really admire you, I really like you, I just don't know if I can vote for a woman to be president." Yeah--said no one ever. It's as if someone said to her "You're awesome, I love you, but I'm just too sexist to check the box next to your name." We're supposed to believe that sexism is now so pervasive that even...

Video only!

Vanity. Well, after the last Presidential election, I was so crushed by the results, I jumped into my work, never coming up for air. I was so miserable and depressed as well as disappointed in my fellow Americans' lack of common sense and lack of vision that I became a hermit. I managed to kick the habit of being a political junkie. But, this cycle has given me hope for the Republic!

Seems like cut&paste in the OP is carrying ASCII rather than HTML.

It would seem we have another case of a bitter loser who snapped and shot up a college campus because he could not get a girlfriend in his adult life! While Liberals from the President to the brain dead think tank that calls itself MSDNC would love for you to believe that its the guns fault and that they have some grand plan to stop this type of mass shooting from happening again. The truth of the matter remains that the guns had very little to do with it as they are a smokescreen for the fact this loser had...

A mayoral candidate in a small Charlotte suburb wants to “eradicate” homosexuality and throw LGBT people in jail, the Kings Mountain Herald reports. Eugene Holmes, who is running for mayor of Kings Mountain, says he doesn’t want to be mayor, but he’s running because of his anti-gay views. He views Kentucky clerk Kim Davis as something of a role model. http://www.rawstory.com/2015/09/kim-davis-inspires-nc-mayoral-candidate-to-jail-gays-whats-wrong-with-eradicating-homosexuals/#.Vfs7R4dOFwM.twitter

Legendary German conductor Wilhelm Furtwangler directs the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in this great interpretation of Mozart's wonderful Symphony No. 39. Recorded in Berlin, July 2, 1944.

Why thousands of Southerners fled to Brazil after the Civil War, why they stayed, and why their descendants still remember I set out from rural North Carolina where folks drink beer, eat barbecue, and listen to Skynyrd on the local classic rock station, flew ten hours to São Paulo, took a cab eighty miles north through a pleasant stretch of Brazilian countryside, and exited onto a dirt road that wound through endless fields of sugarcane before delivering me here to the Cemitério do Campo, where I’ve just stepped through the gate to find folks drinking beer, eating barbecue, and listening...
