Doctors have risked their necks coming forward with what they know about how effective Hydroxychloroquine + Zinc + Azithromycin has been when used in the initial stages of Covid-19 prior to the time that ones immune system goes into overdrive trying to fight the virus. The success rate has been PROVEN to be incredible yet many states and government agencies have banned its use. The media has joined in with the misrepresentations as well and the results have been that many Americans have simply been sentenced to death by their own government.It's easy to blame the Democrats, Liberals, Dr. Fauci,...

I've been wondering why, if a man in King Co., Washington State in his 50s has died of the Coronavirus, apparently the first case in the U.S., that we haven't been told the RACE or ETHNIC BACKGROUND of said individual. I mean, is he of Chinese extract, or from the Orient? Did he have any dealings with people from the Orient in recent weeks or months that would explain him having been exposed? Two people in a nursing home in Kirkland, WA have also tested positive. Neither has done any traveling in recent months. But obviously, there's a common denominator...

On December 19, 2019, by a vote of 385 Yeas to 41 Nays, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the United-States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act (H.R. 5430). If passed by the U.S. Senate and signed into law, this 239-page bill would both approve and implement the now 2,410-page United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which is intended to replace the original 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). As The New American has previously covered (here, here, and here), there are many problems with the USMCA that outweigh any potential economic benefits — mainly how it would erode America’s national sovereignty in...

Just Heard This Go Trump! http://www.necn.com/news/politics/Trump-Thanksgiving-Statememt-402762796.html

House Speaker Paul Ryan has a message to everyone in the political chattering class who’s speculating that he might emerge as the Republican nominee from a contested convention and save the party from front-runner Donald Trump: “Knock it off.” The Wisconsin Republican, thrust into the speakership after predecessor John Boehner was squeezed out, said Thursday that he is not interested in being the savior of a GOP establishment appalled by Trump. The 2012 GOP vice presidential nominee reminded reporters that he decided more than a year ago to take a pass on a presidential bid. “It is not me,” Ryan...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Barack Obama today banned private ownership of more than a quarter ounce of gold, saying the move was necessary to revive the economy. "Wealthy Americans are bailing out on the economy by taking their money out of circulation and hoarding gold," Obama said as he signed an executive order reminiscent of Depression-era President Franklin D. Roosevelt's ban on the possession of gold. "The wealthy are violating their trust and abusing their position by investing in gold," Obama said. "My order will put an immediate end to this practice, which threatens to hijack the good efforts of...

I kid, I kid. He didn’t say that; that’s what he was thinking while droning through this very politic “we will prevail” statement. A few points to add to Ed’s post from a few hours ago. One: No, Rahm can’t run as a write-in. Being a non-resident means you’re not eligible to hold office, so in theory even if he went the Murkowski route (“R-A-H-M, not R-O-M”), he’d be sunk. Two: Yes, of course he’s appealing the decision, but the state supreme court will have to act very quickly. Early voting for mayor starts in just one week(!) and ballots...

We've received many requests from freepers requesting that other freepers not post to them. There are several problems with this. 1. It's impossible for us to enforce.2. We don't have the time to enforce these requests.3. We don't have the software to keep track of these requests.4. Thick skin helps.5. Ignore the poster, if you don't reply, they won't reply. Free Republic does not need a bozo filter, bozo filters are for wimps. Final note: Trolls, troublemakers, disruptors, forum pests, malcontents, RINOs, liberals, stalkers, et al, would continue posting to (harassing) someone after being asked to stop. Conservative FReepers would...

South Korean officials have begun their first face-to-face talks with Taleban militants on the fate of 21 Christian hostages, Afghan officials say. The talks were being held in the city of Ghazni, a senior official in the province told the BBC. The official said he was optimistic about the outcome of the talks. Two of the South Korean hostages have been killed, and the Taleban say they will kill more of them if a number of militants are not released from prison. Earlier the Taleban said the Afghan government had provided a written promise of safe passage to two of...

CBS may tap former Entertainment Tonight co-anchor, John Tesh to become successor to Dan Rather in the troubled network's attempt to regain lost viewers, many of whom are skeptical of the news organization and their ability to report with impartiality. Tesh's career includes six emmy awards and an Associated Press Award for investigative journalism. This seems like an interesting attempt to attract more of the conservative leaning viewers who are turning to other sources like FoxNews.
