Free Republic

Do to personal reasons I need to leave this website for good, how can I go about getting my account deleted?

Trying to recall the name of the plastic tubes of freshwater we occasionally received while in the bush. We had a very good C.O. who tried to get us a hot meal when possible. With the food, we received plastic tubes of water that were DROPPED on or near to our location. IIRC They were about 8 inches in diameter and maybe 5 feet long? Usually orange or yellow, sometimes O.D. green and white? My son, USMC Infantry 3x sandbox, was unfamiliar with them.

I recently published the following on Facebook: Dear friends, As a Catholic priest, I post to help people to seek, to find and to live the Truth, “that sets us free” (Jn 8:32), in particular in this WAVE OF DIABOLICAL DISORIENTATION PROPAGATED in the world today.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania accused the State of Texas of sedition in its filing Thursday at the U.S. Supreme Court, responding to a Texas lawsuit seeking to invalidate the presidential vote of four other states on constitutional grounds.Pennsylvania said that Texas was guilty of “seditious abuse of the judicial process.” Sedition is commonly understood as rebellion, and is defined more precisely in federal criminal law as an attempt to overthrow the United States government.As Breitbart News was the first to report, Texas sued Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on Monday night, alleging that they went outside their state legislatures to...

Update: Special agents were from Attorneys General office Leah Hoopes, a Republican poll watcher from Chester, Pennsylvania, testified before the GOP Pennsylvania Senate hearing last week in Gettysburg. Leah described what she witnessed while doing her duties on election night as votes were being counted for President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden. Hoopes said she was kept in what she described as a “play pen” as an observer and no Republicans were allowed close to where the counting was taking place. Leah spoke with Rob Schmidt from Newsmax TV last week. Leah Hoopes said Special Agents from Attorney’s...

Hi Everyone, I would greatly appreciate any help you could give me to help with how to vote on the NJ ballot questions. The NJ Republican website is worthless. #1 regarding marijuana legalization is a no-brainer. It's a no. #2 regarding providing a property tax reduction for peacetime veterans is a little more difficult. I am always in favor of lowering taxes, and I also believe, as did Churchill when he quoted Milton, that "they also serve who only stand and wait". So I'm leaning towards yes on this. I think that enacting property tax relief for the elderly is...

I’m looking for some computer help. I(n the past, I've used Mozilla Thunderbird as an email vacuum, so that every time I run it it’s soaks up all the email in my regular email account, and then deletes those from my regular web mail account. I’ve done it like this in the past, but I had a system crash, and I’m reinstalling Thunderbird on one of my machines so that I can use it again to soak up email and then delete it from my email account. I’ve got it so that duplicates emails from my account, but can’t seem...

Question: Early in the Pandemic Gov Cuomo Tweeted NYers need not change thier lives. Or something like that. Anyone have a link to that story? Thank you.

Senate Republicans will hold a special meeting Tuesday afternoon after President Trump’s legal team finishes its opening arguments to hash out their strategy on how to handle the tricky question of subpoenaing additional witnesses and documents. Two Senate Republican sources confirmed that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has called the meeting to get his GOP colleagues on the same page as phase one of the impeachment trial nears its end. Under the trial’s organizing resolution, which McConnell drafted, senators will have 16 hours to ask questions of the House managers and the president’s lawyers before voting on whether it...

Just wanted to ask a simple question. Do you think history influences culture? I mean particularly American history on American culture. If yes, why? If no why not? Is it a major influence, or only minor?

I was wondering, when was it that liberals become society’s conscience, particularly in the United States? I have become acutely aware that liberals try to make me feel acutely guilty of not believing in their madness. It is unrelenting and it is completely ruining the kids. What exactly is so right about gay marriage and transgenderism? I don’t see it. Where is the proof or even the scientific logic of global warming? It’s nowhere and the requisite guilt for the end of the world is supposed to be what I deserve. The world has truly gone mad.

Trump Arrives at Davos reporter asks "Do you think you're gonna be well received here?" Trump points to large crowd that was following him "I already am." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX7VrE9vGA4&feature=youtu.be&t=86

Reporters from The New York Times, CNN, and MSNBC banded together Thursdsay to complain when NBC News’ Hallie Jackson was cut off after the allowed two questions in Poland. Jackson was asking Trump about Obama’s response to Russian interference and why Trump wouldn’t admit Russia was behind election interference given some intelligence agencies have already pegged them as responsible. When she tried to go for an additional question, Polish officials cut her off. http://dailycaller.com/2017/07/06/nbc-news-reporter-held-to-two-questions-in-poland-journalists-whine-video/

So, here is the dumb question my brother posed: If a ship leaves earth and transmits "LIVE" video as it travels deep into space, would the transmissions continue to be live and real time even as it traveled months and years away from earth? At what point does that transmission actually delay or become part of the past? Bonus question: Assuming the craft continues travel directly away from earth, if it stopped transmitting and then restarted transmitting would that now be real time? Caveat: I don't know the distance that makes the transmission now a part of the past...

I have a brokerage account. A person with the same name as me passed away and the broker transferred all of my shares to his heirs. What legal actions can I take? What rights do I have? Anybody in the financial industry that can weigh in...it would be appreciated. Thanks

Veteran homicide investigators in New York and Washington, DC, on Monday questioned the way local and federal authorities in Texas handled the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. "It's not unreasonable to ask for an autopsy in this case, particularly knowing who he is," retired Brooklyn homicide Detective Patricia Tufo told The Post. "He's not at home. There are no witnesses to his death, and there was no reported explanation for why a pillow is over his head," Tufo said. "So I think under the circumstances it's not unreasonable to request an autopsy. Despite the fact that he has...

An audience member who attended CNN’s Monday night town hall for Democratic presidential candidates appeared to unintentionally admit that CNN wrote questions beforehand for audience members to ask the candidates. The televised forum was hosted by Drake University and the Iowa Democratic Party and took place one week before Iowa voters head to the caucuses as the first state to help determine the primary. It was a chance for potential voters to ask the Democratic candidates questions to help determine their choice this Monday. One audience member named Brett Rosenberg began to ask a question to Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton...

Did America's Founder Make A Mistake? My question is for liberals but of course, anyone with an opinion is welcome to comment. Did the founders err by limiting the legislative powers of the new government? The Progressive Movement supports the premise that man's nature has improved since the founder's ratified the Constitution. The improvement means there is no longer a need to limit the powers of the elected. The founders gave the government just enough power to perform its primary function of protecting the people's rights, and no others. The Federalist Papers reasoned that limiting legislation powers would limit the...

A major survey on financial literacy has just been published, and the results are terrible. McGraw Hill Financial (which owns S&P), the World Bank, and Gallup have produced the S&P Global Financial Literacy Survey, which attempted to get an idea of how financially literate the world is by polling 150,000 adults in more than 140 countries. The group defined financial literacy as the ability to answer three of four really simple questions about inflation, risk, and interest. Take a look. One of the easiest questions on the test is about interest. There is no compounding involved, and the numbers themselves...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices on Wednesday expressed doubt about whether the Obama administration had the authority to issue a regulation aimed at encouraging efficiency in the electricity market by having electrical grid operators pay users to reduce consumption at peak times. The court heard oral arguments in an appeal filed by the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission seeking to reverse a May 2014 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that threw out the rule. The case pits the government's energy regulator against power companies that are fighting a regulation...
