    "Adopting cloud computing is critical to maintaining our military’s technological advantage. Our nation’s warfighters deserve the most innovative and secure solutions at the tactical edge – whether on land, in air, or at sea. The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud provides secure, scalable, and cost-efficient solutions that help agencies meet mandates, drive efficiencies, increase innovation, and secure mission-critical workloads across the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). That’s why the DoD trusts the cloud with the most tools, technology, and accessibility at the tactical edge."

    Let me start out by apologizing and groveling for your forgiveness. I know we are all tired of prophesy, Hopium, and hope porn, but I have one more that I already heard a little something about and thought this might have something to it. We all heard about the Laptop of Pelosi that was taken,( actually it was some staffer that Pelosi used quite often.) I heard that it was taken by Special Forces. Tonight I heard there were many laptops taken by Special Forces and they were all key Democrats. Now I'm hearing that sometime very soon Trump is...

    Driving into DCTuesday morning January 5, 2021 I was struck by a couple things as I drove into the DC Metro Area: 1. The wealth, and 2. Residents dutifully wearing masks and staying 6 feet apart.After a brief stop at George Washington’s Mount Vernon, I noticed how our founding forefather’s estate seemed modest in comparison to many suburban DC homes. Regarding masks, everyone in DC proper seemed to be wearing masks and keeping their 6 foot distance like obedient subjects of a dictitorial King…that is, until a millon or so Trump supporters arrived.Who were these Trump supporters? Most of them...

    Fox News host Tucker Carlson took to the air yesterday to share his thoughts on the mob of Trump supporters who broke into the Capitol building. "What happened today will be used by the people taking power to justify stripping you of the rights you were born with as an American. Your right to speak without being censored, your right to assemble, to not be spied upon, to make a living, to defend your family. Most critically. These are the most basic and ancient freedoms that we have there," he said.

    The Democrat Party leaders were unanimous in their praise on Thursday of the actions of the British Soldiers at Lexington during the Revolutionary War. “A few dead rabble rousers is just what we needed” said Joe Biden. “Those people needed to learn their place in this world, and their place is obeying tyrants.” Nancy Pelosi had this to say. “I wish I could invite every redcoat who killed one of those rabble rousers to come to my mansion and feed them $15 a pint ice cream.” Chuck Schumer was not to be left out. “Who were those Americans who thought...
  • Tree of Liberty -- refreshed

    Thomas Jefferson said: “What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.” Well, we now have the name of a...

    I think that it is time to do away with, on Free Republic, the idea that French Soldiers aren’t very brave. I am a retired American Soldier so I don’t owe the French anything. I am currently reading a book about the Korean War (1950-1953). It is titled IN MORTAL COMBAT. I am at the point where China has entered the war. The Chinese have sent hundreds of thousands of Soldiers into Korea. The UN forces have been rocked. The South Koreans are falling back. The US troops are falling back. The English are falling back. The Turks are falling...

Credit: Katie Weeman/CIRES =================================================================== One sweaty, huffing, exercising person emits as many chemicals from their body as up to five sedentary people, according to a new University of Colorado Boulder study. And notably, those human emissions, including amino acids from sweat or acetone from breath, chemically combine with bleach cleaners to form new airborne chemicals with unknown impacts to indoor air quality. “Humans are a large source of indoor emissions,” said Zachary Finewax, CIRES research scientist and lead author of the new study out in...

    Visit Andalucia ^ | 01/06/2021 | Nick Nutter
    In 1479, the kingdoms of Castile and Aragón were united under the joint rule of the ‘Christian Monarchs’, Ferdinand of Aragón and Isabella of Castile. The inter-Christian rivalry that had crippled the Christian kingdoms’ war against the Muslims for the last hundred years was, supposedly, over. A shrinking economy within the Emirate of Granada and the erosion of their territory in the first half of the 15th century had fostered increased xenophobia amongst the Muslim population and a consequent lack of tolerance towards the few Christians that remained or visited the Emirate. This provided the Christian Monarchs with a religious...
