Lets take Florida to start with.There are likely hundreds of major apartment,condo,retail centers,resorts that may have started going up in 2018/2019. Maybe 1/2 way there. And the same for the at least the booming states. Odds are that right now, we may have a few thousand construction projects that are either 30/40/50% built. And we see them. Now can you imagine what will happen if Biden wins? Right! half ass built condo buildings,shells of retail centers.Major resorts that had to stop construction because either banks or investors stopped funding the projects.Take a look at what is going on in Port...

Ideology in Science Is Destroying Trust Science should never be tainted by ideology. After all, science isn’t supposed to be about political beliefs but is a powerful method for learning about and understanding the physical universe.Science’s tools are decidedly empirical, i.e., observation, measurement, experimentation, falsification, and the like. To be effective, science must be pursued objectively. The point is to determine what is—not what one wants to be—real.Which is why I am so alarmed that highly respected science and medical journals are becoming so political. For example, Science—one of the world’s most respected scientific publications—recently published a stridently ideological column...

Critical Theory’s War on Critical Thinking A Virginia school district has decided that critical questions about Critical Theory “will not be tolerated.” Free speech is great and all, they say, but it is “outweighed” by the importance of dealing with social injustice and systemic racism. In other words, if taxpayers don’t like spending thousands of their dollars on foolish and destructive indoctrination for their kids, that is just too bad. They are, by default, in the wrong. What is “Critical Theory” Anyway? Its roots actually go back to some of those dastardly dead, white European intellectuals. Specifically it originated among neo-Marxists,...

Maxine Waters Republican challenger Joe Collins is made waves on Twitter Saturday after releasing a campaign video shot at Maxine Waters’ $6 million dollar mansion. In the video, Collins says “Maxine does not live in her district. But I do. I was born right here in South L.A., in a place Maxine refuses to live. Maxine Waters does not drink our water. She does not breathe our air. And while she sits here in her mansion, our district is in ruins.” “And why doesn’t Maxine Waters want to live in her own district? Because she doesn’t want to suffer the...

What cloud services are safe for conservatives from hacking or other mischief? What are best practices and tips for a modestly skilled mac user with no background in programming? (Need replies in ordinary everyday English, as I do not speak Geek.) Grateful for some awesome freeper tutelage. Thanks in advance.

Now didn't we go through this scenario with Hillary? All these very wealthy leaders/VIP's from foreign nations giving the Clinton's millions and millions assuming that she was going to win the election in 2016? Is this what's going on with Hunter and the Biden family? So what happens should Joe Biden lose? Will all of these investors/and or leaders from a few European nations demand that Hunter send back the money?

A total of 568adults were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish. Interviews were conducted September 29, 2020. Among the entire sample, 39% described themselves as Democrats, 25% described themselves as Republicans, and 36% described themselves as independents or members of another party

..............After drilling into the stalagmites and pulling out cylinders of rock, the team could see an obvious transition between two layers. On one side were old minerals that were part of the original stalagmites; on the other were newer layers that had been laid down after the fragments were broken off by the cave’s former users. By measuring uranium levels on either side of the divide, the team could accurately tell when each stalagmite had been snapped off for construction. Their date? 176,500 years ago, give or take a few millennia.

Last updated: September 23, 2020 Elections for 35 U.S. Senate seats will take place in 2020.[1] Ballotpedia has identified 16 races as general election battlegrounds. Of the 16 seats, four have Democratic incumbents and 12 have Republican incumbents heading into the election. These battleground seats were selected by examining the results of the 2016 presidential election in the state, whether the incumbent was seeking re-election, and whether the incumbent was serving his or her first term in the Senate. Race ratings from the Cook Political Report, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and Inside Elections with Nathan Gonzales were also considered. For more...

I remember being so pumped up from this and this speech will live on for a long time. Bush had a 90 percent approval rating at that time. Loved him in his first term but he lost me in his second term.

This wishful scenario would be the equivalent of your baseball team down in a world series by 2.Count is 3 and 2,bases loaded,bottom of the ninth. And you need that home run to win. Now, what are the odds of Trump winning, keeping the senate and taking the house? This is what we all want. And what if Trump hits that home run? Anyone here wanna take a guess what happens in the stock market the next day? While we are all laughing at the Democrats?

Can someone please post the source for the Editor in Chief of the Atlantic Monthly admitting the story about Trump calling off the trip because of his hair is not true. Thanks!

There has been a lot of discussion, especially here on FR, in disjointed threads on other topics. Would some of you who have commented on this please weigh in here. This is my understanding of the Constitution and Statutory Law that supports elections. *There is an "Election Day" stipulated in the Constitution. *States are on their own as to HOW they "certify" their electors *There is no Constitutional date given for when the electors must be certified. *In (I think) the 23rd Amendment the date for delivering the elector slates to the Joint Session of Congress to be counted (2...

I stumbled upon this and wondered, why World Integrated Solutions takes one to World Bank Organisation's. The page opens to a list of countries that have either received or have ordered Covid19 tests in 2017!!! Can someone explain this? I posted to my FB and the link no longer works going through them...suprize, suprize.

Odds are, we are also saying the same thing. We went thru this in 2016, when at some point, Hillary was ahead by 14 points in October. Yet, Hillary was never ahead of Trump from the time she entered the race. Biden was probably never ahead of Trump. No network would ever dare to give Trump his realistic/obvious 10 point lead. Just look at all of the latest polls/internal polling/what we are hearing on conservative radio programs. All guests/pollsters that call into Glenn Beck/Sean and the rest are all telling us they they expect a Trump win/and or another landslide....

By now, we all probably heard what Kamala had to say about Trump. Guess she came out of hiding. Her ranting/complaining over how Trump handled the Corona Virus Debacle. Really? what about how Cuomo handled the Covid mess in New York? Yet, she did it alone, no press, no audience. Not interested in being challenged by reporters. And she is in line to be President? So, to my new friends here, maybe you can fill us in on what Kamala did to help stop the spread of Covid-19.

Michael Denton: Fire-Maker Series – A Case for Design Editor’s note: We have been pleased to present a series adapted from biologist Michael Denton’s book, Fire-Maker: How Humans Were Designed to Harness Fire and Transform Our Planet, from Discovery Institute Press. Find the whole series here. Dr. Denton’s forthcoming book, The Miracle of the Cell, will be published in September. In the argument I have made in this series, pointing to the remarkable fitness of nature for fire-making, two caveats must be noted. First, the evidence that the cosmos is uniquely fit for beings of our biology and for our mastery of fire...
