Pat Buchanan wrote of suicide of a superpower. Australia sings of choosing suicide over persecution every chance it gets. Banjo Paterson started writing the lyrics in August, 1895. I had another go at the first verse today: "Now the modern Swagmen sleep on the city streets Under the shade of Australian trees And their hearts sing with their modest yearning in: 'Who'll come a Waltzing Matilda ..... with me?' "

VIDEOI have been cooking Char Siu foods for almost two months. Ribs, chicken, and pork shoulder are among the foods I have been preparing Char Siu style. So naturally, as we approached Thanksgiving the thought came to my mind about possibly preparing Char Siu turkey. What was appealing to me was the fact that most of my in-law relatives are not crazy about Turkey so perhaps they would be more open to eating Char Siu turkey mixed with vegetables. In this video I prepare the Char Siu turkey and present some of their reactions which turned out to be overwhelmingly...

This is a relatively short essay to convey some thoughts about this entire election process of Trump vs. Harris and the implications of that event. The biggest thing that sticks out to me (after several days of thinking about it) is that the liberal, leftist Marxists in our Federal Government Agencies, the Legislative branch and the Executive brank actually look down on us and believe the vast majority of us to be the ignorant poor or at least the unwashed, untaught (deplorables, nazis, garbage). What hurts most of all (literally the truth for me) is that they believed enough people...

VIDEOIs this the same person in these two videos? One video shows someone pretending to be an "Early Vote Monitor" in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The other video shows an identical looking and sounding woman stealing Trump signs. Perhaps this is a job for CSI Bucks County.

I hike 13 miles a day for my profession. I encounter every kind of human known to existence. Interaction with people is a fact of reality, every minute of every day. I am thinking about wearing a body cam. My best girl says I could be you tube famous based on some of the stories I relate to her.

VIDEOImagine this. The person who has such an extreme hatred for President Donald Trump which he expressed in deranged Facebook rants to the extent that his superiors in the FBI ordered him to take it down before being named to lead the Miami FBI office is now tasked with leading the assassination attempt investigation. Meet Jeffry Veltri. His hatred of Trump is so extreme that Veltri even created the notorious "Trump Questionnaire" which was designed to weed out Trump supporters from the FBI by labeling them as security threats. Such a person who was instrumental in creating such an extreme...

According to Mercouris, illusions and fantasies about the war continue to circulate about it. And there are other fantasies connected to it, primarily held by people in Europe. One of the major misconceptions about the military side of the conflict is the discussion about a war conducted between two equivalent armies. That is not the case, it might have been true in some periods of the autumn and late summer of 2022, and maybe something people could believe in 2023. But it's not the case now.Events proceed at a steadily accelerating pace - they point to a Ukrainian military collapse...

Gone is the sugar high over Kamala Harris based on less than accurate polls which peaked following the Democrat Convention only to replaced by Politico gloom due to the first "high-quality" survey since Joe Biden was dumped by the Democrats. The grieving Politico team of Ryan Lizza, Rachael Bade, and Eugene Daniels sounded their sad notes of reality check despair in the Sunday Playbook, "Sobering new polls for Harris."

Hi Freepers, Anyone have "inside contacts" in the Trump organization? I believe that, if Kamala wins, the Biden/Harris admin will immediately on NOVEMBER 6 begin passing Executive Orders to limit and confiscate firearms possession and purchases. Trump NEEDS to talk about this NOW. Many gun owners are not registered to Vote. This might get them out and VOTING!!

Adoration for a cackling chameleon is a poor substitute for a tested patriot with a proven record “He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now” (1Jn 2:9) “If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?” (1Jn 4:20) No one needs a seminary degree or a special anointing to discern the generic theology contained in these two passages.

Christoforou: Asks Mercouris, 'does the speed of the Russian advancement surprise you? We're hearing that Russians are advancing now without much resistance. Are those reports believable?'Mercouris: believes the reports are true and said the Russian advances began accelerating in March. He is surprised at the unprecedented (in this war) speed of the advance in the past three weeks. 2:17Cites a 'dissident' Ukrainian MP saying 'Ukraine is giving up one fortified position after another without a fight, looks like the entire Ukrainian army is just going through the motions in many places, some places are still vigorously fighting (Chasiv Yar, Siversk...

I am just back from a discount meat market. They are a very large store with prices typically far below regular supermarkets that don't specialize in meat and fish. For example, last year chicken wings sold at this market for just 99 cents per pound.Okay, so I like this market in particular because leading into holidays such as the Labor Day Weekend they typically slash the meat prices with some great sales so today I arrived there hoping to pick up Picanha cut beef for my BBQ this weekend. Imagine my shock when instead of a price reduction, the price...

In today’s rapidly evolving job market, many job seekers find themselves perplexed by the abundance of job openings paired with the difficulty of securing employment. Despite reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicating millions of job vacancies, the reality of landing a job has become increasingly challenging. This seeming contradiction has left many wondering, “If everyone is hiring, why can’t I get a job?” The answer lies in the complex dynamics of the modern hiring landscape, influenced by factors such as ghost jobs, automated screening processes, and economic uncertainty. The current job market presents a paradox. On one hand,...

VIDEOA major change in the political world happened last Friday with Robert F. Kennedy Jr endorsing Donald Trump. As a result there were many reactions to that event. Here are a few of them. Of particular interest was the reaction of CNN which broke away from RFK Jr's speech when he began criticizing Kamala Harris and the Democrats yet on another program recognized the significant impact his endorsement of Trump could have on the election.

Singer Chappell Roan is calling out what she describes as “predatory” behavior from fans, asking them to respect her boundaries in public after delivering a similar message in videos last week. The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer opened up in an Instagram post on Friday. “I've been in too many nonconsensual physical and social interactions,” wrote Roan, whose debut album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” rose to meteoric popularity this year. “I chose this career path because I love music and art and honoring my inner child, I do not accept harassment of any kind because I chose...

It seemed the Democrats were test marketing a new label with the aid of Politico's Friday Read that they seem to hope would take the 2024 race by storm. That magic label now being test marketed by the Democrats supposedly to describe the Kamala Harris presidential campaign was, wait for it, "movement."It seems to be the sad duty of poor Michael Kruse of Politico on Friday to put that "movement" label out there to see if the public laughs it off the campaign trail in "The Surprising Word Democrats Keep Using to Describe Kamala Harris’ Campaign."Although Kruse seems to have...
