Enough already with these “negotiations” with people that have no intention of keeping their word or of negotiating in good faith about anything. These folks should not be allowed to control the passage through which roughly twenty percent of the world’s oil supply is delivered. It is in the entire world’s security interest to take control of the Strait of Hormuz from the nut jobs in Iran currently in charge. Establishment of a military presence large enough to sustain complete control of the Strait should be the immediate goal along with removal of whatever nuclear threat Iran possesses.

American Revolution 2.0Elites around the world are crying because President Trump destroyed their (New) World Order. Make sure to celebrate 45 - 47's restoration of America's Independence, and freedom around the world, by attending the historic 17-day Freedom 250 - the Great American State Fair June 25 – July 10, 2026 in Washington DC.Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see. 3038 Mar...

I’d be curious to know your experience with it. I’m considering replacing either Amlodipine or Valsartan (I take both to control my hypertension) with Rilmenidine. And, yes, I’ll consult with my doctor also. Rilmenidine was finally approved in 2025 by the FDA for use in the US. It’s been approved in Europe and elsewhere for many years.

Listening to Matt Walsh on YT. He has the flavor of Rush I was listening to a few Matt Walsh shows for the first time and found that he has had the brashness and humor that reminds me of the earlier Rush shows. Does anyone else here listen to him?

I agree with everyone who says, "If you get into a war, fight to win" (or fight until victory). What I don't see here is a plan, or even any promising ideas, about matching means and ends (regarding Iran, specifically). What do you believe would be necessary to achieve victory, OK, lets take the words from President Trump, "unconditional surrender". Would it be necessary to occupy the country and disarm their armed forces, for example? If yes, where would the forces come from to do that? Remember, we sent 600,000 soldiers and Marines to liberate Kuwait, staged them from bases...

OK - I got one yanked a while back - still not perfectly clear on what things will get something you post pulled, but I think the last one had something to do with a title not matching source title?

Sequence of events: 1. last October, a report was filed with JPM Chase that a customer's contact info was compromised after someone called pretending to be from Chase, and spoofing one of their branch phone numbers - supposedly, a note was placed on the account as a flag. 2. late last month the customer's debit card info was stolen; the debit card is ONLY ever used at two specific Chase branches, and ATMs (and is otherwise kept at home); people have been observed loitering in the bank's lobby, near the ATMs, and after hours - could these people be there,...

If I didn't have my garage radio tuned to NPR (my early warning system) I never would have known about the stealth plan to build yet another "professional sports complex" with a price tag of $2.3 billion in Hillsborough County. I don't even know which sports team this one's for. The article featured Tampa's Mayor exclaiming they still had a lot of work to do on it but she hoped the "Commission" wouldn't need to "raise taxes" (hint, hint) to get it done. Excuse me, Ms. Mayor but where the hell have you been? In 2024 the County Commission got...

Has anyone noticed how quiet it is? Nothing from Tom Hanks, Stephen King, Ellen Degenerate, etc. Nothing from Eric Stalwall, Mitch McConnell, AOC, Joe Biden, Jill Biden, Hunter Biden, etc. Does this prove the earth is flat and these people fell off or the rumor is true-they are in GITMO!

The Senate impeachment trial vote was on February 13th 2021. Senator Bill Cassidy voted to convict (i.e. remove from office) a man who was ALREADY out of office. Because the purpose of that vote was to prevent Donald Trump from ever holding office again. So that all the policies that have been put into place, would never have been put into place. Can't wait to see this anti-conservative "Republican" senator be defeated!

I've been a FReeper since 1997. I'm also one of the tech guys for The Gateway Pundit and other websites. As a way to support both sites, I created a Free Republic share button for TGP. FR doesn't appear to have a logo, so I styled the share button after this site's favicon. You can see it by clicking to an article; it's to the right of the Linked In share button: So ... is this cool, a subtle way to remind TGP readers of the value and relevance of FR and to make sharing posts on FR a bit...

Hi ya'll, I have beeen here since 1998...actually before that and I changed my user name to Positive, and the prior history disappeared. Shame faced promo. I have examined life for 29,220 days...my ThatOldGranddadDube podcast is a rear view mirror observations basicically to offer tips on leading a preductive life with access to a Grandad. The fathers of my parents died while they were adalesents so I never knew either of my grandfathers...now I have been a grandfather for 25 years and a ggf for a few months. I've had millions of experiences...maybe you might be of the opportunity to...

I'm looking for an old b-movie and am hoping someone just might have seen and remember it. Probably 1950s or perhaps 1940s. Black and white. The story centers on a Chinese woman who has been cared for her adult life by a western man. She was hobbled through foot binding as a child so has had to be cared for. Not sure, but I think the man has recently died leaving her alone, and she is telling her story to a woman who has come to help her. AI keeps suggesting Inn of the Sixth Happiness which is absolutely wrong....

Assistant Majority Whip Scot Heckert defeated in landslide

Iran

So despite all the hype online -- almost nothing. At least in the Chicago area no May Day disruptions at all. Anybody here see anything unusual in the way of political upheaval last Friday? This is a very important non-story.

It struck me earlier today that I have NOT written a regular check in years. Yes, I have written a few bank checks but as far as personal checks I can't think of any that I have written any in at least 5 and more likely 10 or more years. At one time in my life and in the lives of many others, writing checks were a frequent activity. However, after the onset of the Internet and doing transactions over the web my check writing activities dwindled further and further until it has reached ZERO except for the few times...

Now that we can look at QAnon from a distance what did it turn out to be? I thought some of it's posts were legit just because I believed underhanded stunts were commonplace by the dims and the media. Especially after the lawfare against Trump and the pseudo press coverage of biden. Now it seems like QAnon was just trying to sow chaos among us conservatives. It's referred to like a joke or some manner of failed attempt to do whatever.

Has anyone else had problems with Substack? None of my subs load properly--the display is barren and the links are dead.
