    I had to sign up for a google account to view a document by a former employer(edu) well over a decade ago. I have received notifications over the years that my account is going to be canceled because of lack of use. I just got another termination notice for the 5th or 6th time. LOL

    They put a bug on my computer that has a 500GB appetite for free space. My computer is 469GB. By the time I was made aware of what's happening my free space was down to ~5GB. MS released a patch, but it requires ~6GB to install and run. By the time I was made aware of the patch, my free space was down to ~2GB. I tried to download the patch several times but it aborted each time for lack of space. I deleted programs and files but as soon as I did, the bug ate the free space. Now,...

  • So what if Mamdani is the Mayor of NEW YORK CITY?

    First of all, I’d like to address the absolute hubris of New York City thinking it is “all that, and a pair of leotards”. So what if financial folks settled there? Does that make you better than other cities! And just because the communist Mamdani gets elected in the oh so great city, the rest of us should just roll over to New York wisdom? I don’t think so. New Yorkers must be extreme idiots to elect such a low life. And I don’t mind saying so. As for the rest of us, just put New York on IGNORE. We...
  • Went and saw Supergirl. It’s fine. Pluggedin conservative review site got it right too

    Went and saw Supergirl with my comic loving teenager. Don’t know why other than the actresses comments in an interview this movie is being dissed around here. Nothing political. Comic loving son said character was pretty accurate. Go see it. Even pluggedin online said it was fine. We should support the efforts toward normality. Last year’s Superman was really good and sort of old school hero. Same with this movie. Nothing woke that I could find in it.

    We need to wakeup Senator John Thune. The Save America Act is America's last Chance. If he could get it passed he would become a hero. This bill is common sense. If the democrats win again, Filibuster is gone. If he loves America, he needs to make this his number one passion. Any ideas to wakeup him up. I mean not to say how bad he is but how to change his mind. Maybe a march for Thune. Real ideas, please. Please pray that God would change his mind.

    Today, I am rejoicing about the Washington Post existential spasms. Here is what I said on Free Republic ("Post Mortem" was the title, over 20 years ago!) about the Washington Post and its relentless imbedded leftist bias. "The millstones of the gods grind late, but they grind fine . . ." ========= "POST MORTEM" (transcript of letter to the WAPO editor; posted 10/29/04) On October 27, 2004 Washington Post executive editor Leonard Downie Jr. penned an op-ed entitled, “A Strict Separation”. Therein Mr. Downie, the self-described “ultimate gatekeeper” (Post, “Live Online” 10/6/04) for everything printed in the newspaper, reassures readers...

  • Question about Michelle (Michael?) Obama

    12/31/2025 4:47:46 PM PST · by Big Brother Go to Hell · 73 replies
    First off, I don't trust *anything* the Democrat media says. But why would they keep hiding and lying about Michelle Obama actually being a gay/"trans" male, if it were so? Wouldn't they be out, loud, and proud with it by now? Wouldn't they have gone on Oprah and boasted how "brave" our "first transgender first lady" is? Michelle actually being Michael just sounds like something the modern, reprobate minded Democrat party would be extremely open and boastful about.

    Why do we have a constitution? How and why did it come into existence? Just what, exactly, prompted the calling of the Constitutional Convention, which gave birth to it? Most Americans believe, logically enough, that after we sent His Britannic Majesty packing, it was time to create a new government. This is false, and it entirely overlooks the fact that we already had a functioning government at the time of the Convention. That government had been in effect for the entirety of the Revolution and for six years following the final British defeat at Yorktown. No, the Convention was prompted...
  • Candice Owens brief

    Would some of you give me an opinion of Candice Owens? I know we have some loose cannons on the right. I feel like overall we have healthy disagreements that are based on honest differences compared to libs that line up perfectly for the strict purpose of power. Steven Crowder had Nick Fuentes on and asked him straight questions about some controversies and the exchange was refreshing. Not a gotcha interview but an informative one. Lots of decent conservative shows like Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Micheal Knowles invite other conservatives to discuss their issues so that they can argue openly...

Kudos to Cash Patel and Dan Bongino, and the fine forensic work of the FBI! Since it has taken 5 years to solve this case, please post the questions you would like to see answered in your lifetime, here, regarding this case.

    What if Senator Kelly and the other members of Congress making that video about not following illegal orders did not intend it for our military. What if they intended it as a message to their hysterical followers. What if they intended their followers to assume anyone in uniform following Trump's orders were following illegal orders, because what else can Trump do? At this point how could anyone know if that was their intent or not? Wouldn't some of their crazed followers do exactly what that Afghan in DC is alleged to have done, and attack anyone on military duty? At...

    Oh, spare me the pearl-clutching from the soy-sipping leftists. Trump's not losing a wink of sleep over some pint-sized, big-word-spouting socialist toddler like Zohran Mamdani hurling "fascist" around like it's his security blanket. This guy's the freshly minted NYC Mayor-elect—a democratic socialist hack who's probably still got Che Guevara's poster on his dorm room wall—waltzing into the Oval Office and lobbing playground insults at the man who just steamrolled the establishment to Make America Great Again. And Trump? He just chuckles it off like swatting a gnat. "It's okay," he says, before tossing in praise for the kid while batting...

    There was a thread earlier entitled "Too Many Americans Want a Civil War." Referring to the Kirk assassination, the author warned "how close the country had come to a 'potential' civil war." I've got news for him, and everyone else. Technically speaking, we're not "potentially" in Civil War II, it's already begun. Anyone involved with or familiar with various factions of the intel community, which geek-out on societal analysis, will tell you it's here. The 3 phases of civil war are, technically, classified as follows: 1. Routine Peaceful Competition Remember, not too long ago, when we could argue vociferously, especially...
