Tell your FNG story! I just saw a locked thread so couldn't post there-- wherin one FReeper calls another NOOB. How young must one be on FR to be a NOOB? So I looked... 2010!! I figured it was a joke as the accuser's account was a 2016 sign-up. SO.... At my first squadron as an ensign, fresh outta Electronic Warefare school (se habla espanol.. any guesses where? Second hint, ground-based naval aircraft...) I showed up at the O-club for lunch. I'm a normal guy, not too much attitude for a typical JO. When allofa sudden, another fella I recognized...

Every means possible to stop Trump continues. Nothing is considered unethical or unfair. So let’s take a look at his amazing achievements. Getting acquainted with them before opponents airbrush them out of the picture.

Thank you for being a Donald Trump supporter in Massachusetts and helping us deliver one of the largest margins of primary victories in the country! But our work is not done. In fact, it is just beginning. We must ensure that Mr. Trump receives the delegates he earned in Massachusetts and we need your help on Saturday, April 30th to elect delegates that will represent your vote in Cleveland. On Saturday, April 30th, nine congressional district caucuses will take place across Massachusetts to elect delegates to the 2016 Republican National Convention. Will you caucus and help us elect the Trump...

"I dislike Obama's policies more. Donald is a unique individual," he said, trailing off to laughter. "If I were in my car and getting ready to reverse and saw Donald in the backup camera, I'm not confident which pedal I'd push."

MEMO TO TED CRUZ: Senator Cruz, throughout your entire campaign you have stated repeatedly: "The American people know that I will do exactly what I say I will do." Well, Mr. Cruz, my question for you is: WHAT ABOUT THE PLEDGE? You're breaking your word on that so you will break your word on anything else you choose to. I once thought you were the Messiah to the GOP, but in the past month or so I have come to see you as just another lying, sleazy, scumbag politician.

Trump: Cruz doesn’t ‘even know what state he comes GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Tuesday mocked Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for mistakenly calling Florida his home state. “His home state is not Florida, it is Texas,” he told host Anderson Cooper during a CNN townhall in Milwaukee. “It might be Canada,” Trump quipped, mocking Cruz’s birthplace. “[But] he didn’t even know what state he comes from. Fort Hood is from Texas by the way. I am so surprised, Anderson, that you let him get away with it.” Cruz accidentally called Florida as his home state while discussing a 2009...

Ted Cruz was naming friends. Seated for an interview inside a stately Midtown Manhattan library, just south of Trump Tower, the Texas senator leaned forward in his chair, ticking off the unlikely coalition drifting his way. There was Jeb Bush, who announced his endorsement in a terse predawn news release, and Mitt Romney, who initially said his support applied only to his voting preference in Utah. Mr. Cruz had swung Mike Lee, his greatest ally in the Senate, nearly a year after his campaign began, and Mark Levin, a conservative radio host who recently made his longstanding admiration on the...

Ted Cruz’s loss in the Arizona primary Tuesday puts mathematics squarely on the side of Donald Trump in the race to capture the Republican presidential nomination, an ongoing state-by-state delegate allocation analysis by The Washington Times indicates. “Mr. Trump’s win in Arizona means Mr. Cruz must win 90 percent of the remaining delegates after March 22 to get to 1,237. The chance of this happening is equivalent to winning the Powerball lottery,” said former Republican National Committee Treasurer Randy Pullen, who was also the state party chairman in Arizona.

Link goes directly to picture of the article that's good enough to read. FULL Disclosure: I'm not a Cruz supporter, but I hate this kind of sleaze and I'm hoping that we can put this to rest before it gets submitted 500 times. The entire article is based off of the threat from a hoax "Anonymous" account on Twitter, which later turned out to be a RickRoll (all related tweets have since been deleted). I am pretty sure the "details" are actually lifted from replies to the original tweet, LOL. Since they're deleted, I can't be sure. Point being, it...

Ted Cruz will grab an upset win over Donald Trump in Arizona's presidential primary election on Tuesday, as he's the "only candidate with any kind of organization out here," a close confidant of Sen. John McCain predicts. "They have him positioned to spring the upset," Kurt Davis, a GOP operative in Arizona, told The Hill. "They just have to deliver." According to Real Clear Politics, Trump is ahead of Cruz by 13 points in the state's polls, but in Arizona, Republicans on the ground say the race's margin is narrower, and Cruz could pull off the upset.

SALT LAKE CITY — If Donald Trump becomes the Republican Party's nominee, Utahns would vote for a Democrat for president in November for the first time in more than 50 years, according to a new Deseret News/KSL poll. ... While Clinton was only slightly ahead of Trump — 38 percent to 36 percent — Sanders, a self-declared Democratic socialist, holds a substantial lead — 48 percent to 37 percent over the billionaire businessman and reality TV star among likely Utah voters.

There is a great debate among the supporters and critics of 2017 military budget. Supporters say that Obama should have to cut down the military budget because it is better for country and nation is not liable to waste it valuable resources for imaginable enemy. Similarly, according to critics, US should have to make increments in its military budget when the danger of ISIS and Russian war aggression is growing upon the head of Americans. On the other hand, militant groups could also threaten the internal security of US bases including Randolph Air Force Base, Christi Naval Station and other...

According to the latest primary results compiled at Green-Papers, it is certain that it will be impossible for Ted to reach the 1237 delegate count or comply with Rule 40 for the nomination. See the link, analyze the stats. and tell me, Why is Ted still in this race?

As I mentioned, Paul voted against the TPA. Rubio and Graham voted for it, despite not reading the TPP first, and have not said anything since. And to the shock and dismay of his supporters, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has joined Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) (who just echoed Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)‘s “pass it to find out what is in it” comments) as a top cheerleader for the TPA. Together, they wrote an op-ed in favor of it. Check Cruz’s Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts and you will find that he has been in media-blitz mode to get it passed....

Even 'Fast Track' position becomes issue in state losing jobs over America's export deficits Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2016/03/cruz-facing-trade-deal-headwinds-in-ohio/#qzgsyv6EREbYCRKE.99 NEW YORK – A history of support for free-trade deals by Ted Cruz and his wife, Heidi, is dogging the senator's campaign in the important "winner-take-all" Ohio GOP presidential primary, especially since the Cleveland Plain Dealer has just reported that the state lost 112,500 jobs last year because of the U.S. trade deficit with countries in the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement. -- This is a good article. Long, but good. Ted Cruz is a globalist. Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2016/03/cruz-facing-trade-deal-headwinds-in-ohio/#qzgsyv6EREbYCRKE.99

The Trump campaign was initially very interested, according to Fox officials, and the Sanders campaign was on board. But before the debate could be announced, the Trump campaign pulled out, citing scheduling conflicts, so the network planned to welcome just Mr. Sanders in an hourlong town-hall-style event, hosted by Bret Baier as part of his “Special Report” program. Late on Friday, the network received a surprise call. Mrs. Clinton would participate, ending her two-year absence from the network that her liberal base loves to criticize.

For the past 4 years, we've heard Mark Levin tell his radio audience that this time around, conservatives need to rally behind one conservative who can actually beat the establishment. As near as I can tell, Levin seems to have gone silent on that point in recent months. As we watch the GOPe ramp up their attacks on Trump, borrowing from the Mississippi playbook of dirty tricks, wouldn't now be the time to rally around the only candidate who can take out the GOPe - Trump? Any thoughts?

It’s morning again in America. On the wintry banks of the Potomac, throngs of conservative millennials shake off their hangovers and embark upon day four of CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) — but today’s is a hollow pilgrimage. After Thursday night’s ambuscade during which Donald Trump was jumped by the Fox News triad of Megyn Kelly, Brett Baier and Chris Wallace to the delight of the cackling mob, he made the decision to blow off today’s 8:30 a.m. appearance and fly to Kansas to campaign instead. Sorry GOP establishment. You don’t have Trump to kick around anymore.
