"If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your (missing email) situation," Trump said, "because there has never been so many lies, so much deception."

Breaking in Huntsville this morning.

Apparently, Homeland Security has been planning for this for months. Amazing how they knew this crisis would erupt 2 months before the surge began across the border.

Get a load of this. Had I been on those crews, I would like to have told them to have fun rebuilding by themselves.

On the surface, 17-year old Courtney Alvis looks like your everyday teenager. She's Two days shy of her senior prom and testing a new do at the salon. But getting to this point hasn't been easy, "I have heard of leukemia but I wanted to make sure that was cancer. So I was like are you telling me I have cancer and he was like it could be cancer," she said.

THE CONSERVATIVE AGENDA Pass a Constitutional Amendment banning Abortion - The first unalienable right listed in the Declaration of Independence is Life. Life is sacred and should be protected. Any society that will not protect the life of the unborn is a society in decay. Repeal the 17th Amendment and pass New Term-Limits Amendment - Senators to be appointed/elected by state legislatures. - Term limited to 2 six-year terms. - The number of Representatives to be set at 1 for every 30,000 persons. - Term limited to 5 two-year terms. - Prohibited from taking campaigning money from any source outside...

Heard from some friends that a Greyhound bus is stopped on I-20 between Atlanta and Birmingham. Suppodedly a bomb is on board. Many Police helicopters and police cars. I-20 traffic stopped. Has anyone heard any news reports? I can't find anything about it.

I am compiling a list of all the imbedded reporters in Iraq. I can find a list like that anywhere. I need help from FReepers. Please post: Reporter, Employer, Attached unit. I believe this list can be VERY useful to all people following the war.

I believe we should bring home all of the soldiers buried in the American cemetaries in France. The French are showing NO respect for the sacrifices made by Americans on their behalf. As Colin Powell said the other day about our efforts to liberate France from the hands of tyranny, "All we asked of France was a place to bury our dead." After the contempt and outright roadblocks thrown by France in our quest to secure our future and protect our citizens, they no longer merit the honor of providing a resting place for US Servicemen, who died liberating their...

Interstate in Georgia gets fogged in. 125 autos involved.

I'm sick of hearing how all the poiticians want "campaign finance reform". They argue and argue and argue and argue and argue. Nothing gets done. Well, here is an easy solution. 1. Amend the US Constitution to make US Senators appointed by state legislatures. This is the way it was originally devised. The Senate was to be for issues that were primarily State issues. This is where all of the big money is spent, outside of the Presidency. Make them appointed by the State legislatures and the big money leaves the Senators. 2. Amend the US Constitution to make Representatives ...

STATEMENT BY IBN WARRAQ ON THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ATROCITY Ibn Warraq is the author of Why I Am Not A Muslim Given the stupefying enormity of the acts of barbarism of 11 September, moral outrage is appropriate and justified, as are demands for punishment. But a civilized society cannot permit blind attacks on all those perceived as “Muslims” or Arabs. Not all Muslims or all Arabs are terrorists. Nor are they implicated in the horrendous events of Tuesday. Police protection for individual Muslims, mosques and other institutions must be increased. However, to pretend that Islam has nothing to do ...

I have been thinking recently about the fuss that McCain and others are kicking up about campaign finance reform. I have a few suggestions for everyones discussion. I. Repeal the 17th Amendment. Senators should be appointed by the State Legislatures of their respective states. This would have the following effects: 1. It would make state governments much more responsive and accountable to the citizens. 2. The US Senate would represent states issues, as the founding fathers originally intended. 3. It would eliminate the huge amount of campaign monies spent on elections. II. Pass a constitutional amendment to set the representation ...

*********************** ...Redstone has no identified terrorist threat at this time. However, we must all remain alert to the possibility. Every AMCOM employee should be vigilant and immediately report anything suspicious to the Military Police. Many violent acts have been historically tied to the anniversary of previous actions. Remember that 19 Apr is the anniversary of the incident at Waco, TX, and the Oklahoma City bombing. Also, the scheduled execution of Timothy McVeigh is 16 May. There have been a number of seemingly unrelated reports from Tennessee,Florida, and the District of Columbia that add urgency to this security reminder. On 27 ...

This is a call to all FReepers. This is billed as a conservative forum (which I agree it is). Being fairly new (5 months), I would like to know what issues you think are most critical to the conservative movement. Give your top 3 issues.

The Long Night is Over Eight years ago, our country elected the first president of the so-called "baby-boomer" generation. It was inevitable that this would happen, due to the march of time. Nevertheless the time came, the votes were cast and William Jefferson Clinton was elected as the 42nd President of the United States. And the darkness descended. Historians will busy for decades researching, talking, pondering, opining about the reasons for this darkness. Some will say it was the pain of changes. Some will say it was the “new” generation’s way of doing things. In the end, many will call ...

For your freeping pleasure, here is my analysis of Al Gore's acceptance speech. Good evening. Just moments ago, I spoke with George W. Bush and congratulated him on becoming the 43rd president of the United States, and I promised him that I wouldn't call him back this time. Acceptable humor. Good start. I offered to meet with him as soon as possible so that we can start to heal the divisions of the campaign and the contest through which we just passed. This begins the theme. I’m still part of the action. Everyone needs me. What an ego. "We can ...

He was a lightweight. He didn't have to work for his fortune, daddy earned it for him. He didn't have to take life seriously, just go along and have a good time. He attended Harvard? Oh well, he was just a frat boy having a good time. Actually, he's not even very smart. He earned his MBA from Harvard? Oh, well he just earned that because of his money. He was just a happy-go-lucky, rich guy wanting to have fun. See he even tried to hide his DUI when he got in trouble. He pled guilty? Well, they just caught ...

After sitting through the talking heads last night and listening to various lawyers opining, here is my analysis of what Gore SHOULD have done after Nov. 7 When Gore lost the original machine count, he had already generated enough "confusion" to allow the protest phase to continue. He should have claimed ballot problems and immediately told the world he was contesting the results of less than 1000 vote margin loss. His first step should have been TOWARD the Sos, Katherine Harris. He should have asked her to set an objective standard for manual recounts. He should have simultaneously filed a ...

The SCOTUS struck down the original rulings. The dates could NOT be moved. Recounts can only occur with uniform guidelines. Guidelines cannot be set after the election. The 12th is the end. BUSH WINS
