On Sept. 6, 2016, Neal B. Freeman of the National Review published an interview with Angelo Codevilla, the author of “The Ruling Class.” The bottom line was that Dr. Codevilla has concluded that what he has estimated to be two-thirds of the country’s citizens are increasingly falling in with the increasing number of those who intend to vote for Donald J. Trump as president, despite having an opinion that he has significant shortcomings and that they are doing so because of their dissatisfaction, as the “country class,” with the ruling class. ****People have been able, with regard to one candidate,...

During the latter years of the last century, Congress enacted reforms to the federal immigration law. The part of this enactment with which, in light of the above, everyone should be concerned is now in the United States Code at Section 1324a(h)(2), where it mandates the federal pre-emption of: ... any State or local law imposing civil or criminal sanctions (other than through licensing and similar laws) upon those who employ, or recruit or refer for a fee for employment, unauthorized aliens. This provision flagrantly robs the American workers and businesses injured by the use of illegal alien workers of...

Many are puzzled by the alliances between leftists, especially between the extreme ones that have become so prominent in today’s Democratic Party and the adherents of Islam who are bent on turning the world into one large caliphate. Given the subjugation of women in that part of the Islamic world which adheres to Shariah law, its putting to death of homosexuals and other practices (compared to the trendy approval of homosexual “marriage” in the leftist world in America) and other practices of Islam, such as enslavement, to many this alliance makes little sense. Those puzzled by this alliance need to...

News fairly unbalanced. We report. You decipher. Uncle Sam's Cash-for-Clunkers program has already spent its allotted $3 billion, making it by government standards an instant success, and forcing Democrats look for alternative ways to compensate auto retailers for the deeply-discounted deals they've made on some 457,000 vehicles. Many car dealers have yet to receive a nickel from the federal government after waving goodbye to dozens of customers who drove off of their lots in new cars marked down by up to $4,500. However, President Barack Obama today told dealers not to "worry about reimbursement because if cash runs out, we...

Hey, no top-down direction here in President Obama’s latest mass e-mailing to his minions. Only thing missing is advice on how to dress like “real” grass-roots activists and instructions on how to snitch on friends and neighbors saying “fishy” things about socialized medicine.

President Chávez congratulates Obama for criticizing Fox News Western Hemisphere President Hugo Chávez praised his US counterpart Barack Obama for criticizing the hard-line editorial position of Fox News against Obama's government and made a comparison between the case of the US network and the "attack" by some private media against his socialist revolution. ...

U.S. Supreme Court Hopfmann v. Connolly, 471 U.S. 459 (1985) Hopfmann v. Connolly No. 84-1440 Decided May 13, 1985 471 U.S. 459 ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT Syllabus Held: In federal court proceedings wherein it was claimed that the Massachusetts Democratic Party's Charter, as enforced by a Massachusetts statute, violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments, the Court of Appeals erred in concluding, on the basis of Hicks v. Miranda, 422 U. S. 332, that the claim here was foreclosed by this Court's summary disposition of two appeals from the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial...

A CANDIDATE SMART ENOUGH TO SEE AND DO SOMETHING Gordon Sumner, Mark Hill, Larry Elgin The brilliant Dane, Bjørn Lomborg, in his terrific 2001 book “the Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World” (Cambridge) points out that the rise of the modern world has been entirely dependent upon the development of energy and, for the most part, of oil. Since the 1973 OPEC embargo struck the world with the affliction of monopoly striking at the heart of the success of the entire industrial world our leaders on both sides of the isle have persisted in ignoring this reality....

The strategic imperative of “straight talk” Gordon Sumner, Mark Hill and Larry Elgin We have pointed out that at the time of the Great Depression it was not FDR’s early measures from the centralized command of a greatly enlarged federal government that brought us out of the depression and led to a renewed wealth, prosperity and leadership of the free world, rather it was the preparation that led up to our entrance into World War II against the Axis powers and the focus and increase in productivity that resulted and lasted well into the 1960’s. But it was the focus...

THE WILL TO WIN THE WAR INCLUDES THE ECONOMY “It is,” he would say, “the answer to all our problems.” When we would discuss the inventors and their inventions that had strategic importance, particularly for taking the oil weapon away from the other side in this war that was then looming and then came upon us when we finally were forced to respond to the attacks, Admiral Tom Moorer would inevitably make this point. It reflected his own experience in high command and as one who was a young naval officer and pilot during the great depression and through World...

DIZZY BASIC LOOSE FIT DN MECCA usa Before Columbus came to America, the population of the Native Americans - the first, aboriginal peoples - was about 5 million. By 1890, it was 250,000. During this same period the non-original population in the U.S. increased from 0 to 75 million. As it did so, it usurped the ancestral lands of the Indians who had inhabited the continent for centuries, and destroyed both the delicate balance of their economy and an age-old way of life. Pivotal events such as the removal, in the 1830's, of the Southeastern tribes to what was called ...

Grilling poverty By Larry Elgin©&nbsp;2001&nbsp;WorldNetDaily.com After the "Movement" in the 1960s, some of us who had gotten caught up in it during our student days moved on to jobs where we felt fortunate that we were able to work in a salaried position with a major corporation and attempt to develop economic opportunities for the less fortunate, particularly minority group members, through job training and skills development, as well as working with minority entrepreneurs. Truly, we thought, this is "capitalism" responding. The training we designed in the programs we developed included what the "War on Poverty" establishment perceived as ...

Someone here just reported seeing the tailend of a Fox infobabe interviewing Marxine Waters about whether she would not or would attend some event involving the President elect. Marxine was very flustered and starting attacking the Fox newsperson, an attractive young lady, who was simply being logical. Did anyone catch the full interview and can they fill us in?.

We have an additional suggestion which we are so bold as to make. It will require some courage and skill which we believe Florida Freepers can possibly activate. Seek out and focus more attention on the Reverend St. Hillaire, the Haitian minister who has publicly exposed the Gorons supplying of pre-voted ballots for Gore to Haitians, the four-legged voting of Haitians by Gorons and the illegal posting of Gore posters all over the Haitian voting places, including in the booths, and also focus more attention on the conservative black republican who ran for the Florida legislature from the Haitian neighborhood. ...

We would respectfully point out that all the legislature need do is to immediately pass a resolution (which the governor of Florida would not have to sign) that what the Supreme Court of Florida has opined, in its 4-person majority opinion, is manifestly not what the legislature has prescribed, that its interpretations of what the legislature has enacted are seriously mistaken and in error, that it has both made new law and changed existing law and specify how and where it has done so, reiterating the legislature's actual prescription as set out in the statutes, and declaring that no electors ...

On Tuesday, November 27, 2000, I believe it was, while driving with my wife and one of our teen-age children, listening to the Chip Franklin Show live on WBAL-Baltimore, we heard a caller-in say that he had just returned from Miami-Dade County and that it was not being reported but that in the get out the vote drive being promoted by the NAALCP and other such parties and the black "leaders", operatives were going into the voting booths with first-time Haitian voters and punching the card for them. In light of the issues just clarified in the Seminole County voter ...

By invading the province of the legislature in this shameless opinion the Florida Supreme Court has opened the door wide for the Florida legislature, should it have the courage, leadership and vision to do so, to take back its proper jurisdiction. It could begin, for example, by immediately enacting statutes to invalidate such corrupt practices as counties changing their vote counting standards in mid-count to include dimpled chads and other lawless acts. The decision ignores binding precedent requiring the interpretation of statutes in harmony where at all possible and and finds conflict in the statutes of Florida where none exists. ...

We would suggest that a reasoned discussion would be in order concerning what the Florida legislature might do at this stage, with vote counts not yet certified, by way of quick legislation to obviate some of the more obvious irregularity and fraud which the world has witnessed in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami/Dade. This would seem particularly helpful to the rest of us if participated in by Florida attorneys and other Florida freepers. Can the legislature, for example, pass an emergency law disallowing any challenge and recount procedures at the precertification stage which change the procedures in mid-course sucha as ...
