For years, people have urged Michelle Obama to run for political office, and after giving a remarkable speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, enthusiasm has only grown. Fans of the former First Lady point to her impressive credentials and unmatched popularity as signs that she would make an excellent president. But others believe a Michelle Obama run is nothing more than a pipe dream, and Democrats should focus on actual 2020 contenders. What do you think?

BILOXI, MS (WLOX) - Confederate statues and monuments across the country are coming down. Officials at Beauvoir said the statues would be welcomed at the last home of Jefferson Davis with open arms. “We ask the cooperation of any and all fair-minded people to help with Beauvoir’s acquisition of these statues,” said assistant director Andrea Little in a news release. Many Americans find monuments to the Confederacy offensive and feel they should not be displayed publicly. Officials at Beauvoir believe they have the proper place to display the statues with historical context. “Our vision is to include the monuments as...

An elderly Pascagoula man is recovering after being carjacked and kidnapped from his own driveway early Tuesday morning.

Got any recommendations on hearing aids. Got a couple VA issued Starkey's that only last three daze on a battery load and had a wiz bang option to adjust by phone and had that feature programmed out. So much texting going on everywhere I kept getting programmed out! I feel my ear canals are blocking the true worth of a aid and most krapp being said out loud is worthless any how. I have a couple Siemens that are dogs at my own expense and have seen some new "light" transmitted ears that look interesting but I think a home...

Putting HRC in the White House drags Bill Clinton back in with a Publicly funded office and staff which would support the Clinton Foundation with our dollars plus installation of a revolving back doo

The grandaddy of cereal slogans is for Quaker Puffed Rice. The cereal is actually made using a process that resembles shooting rice from a gun. In 1904, Quaker introduced the cereal to the mass public by shooting Puffed Rice from cannons at the World's Fair. In 1913, an astute ad man decided to promote the cereal by exploiting how it's made and this famous, yet mostly forgotten, slogan was invented.

Where have all the libs gone to....

What has the U.S. Navy done? Will it prove harmful, or will it even matter in the grand scheme of things? My prediction is that this will exponentially increase the number of glorified managers in the Navy’s senior enlisted ranks.

Hearst TV local blackouts On July 9, 2012 Hearst Television chose to black out their signals from Time Warner Cable customers rather than continue negotiations, and despite their CEO saying just two weeks earlier that broadcaster blackouts are unfair to consumers. Time Warner Cable has reached hundreds of agreements with other broadcasters without broadcaster blackouts, but Hearst’s demand for a nearly 300% increase is way out of line. That kind of outrageous increase is unfair to our customers and unsustainable for our business. We believe broadcaster blackouts are wrong. Despite Hearst’s blackout, we stand ready to continue negotiations and are...

50 years ago today, a hydrogen bomb lit the sky over Hawaii in a renewed nuclear race between superpowers "The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch." — Revelation 8:10 The "great star" that lit up the night sky over Honolulu 50 years ago today had no roots in the Bible. But its effects rivaled the dramatic imagery of Revelation. A hydrogen bomb test above Johnston Atoll called Starfish Prime turned night to day on Oahu, 860 miles to the northeast.

What's happening to iGoogle? iGoogle will be retired in 16 months, on November 1, 2013. The mobile version will be retired on July 31, 2012. How did you come to this decision? We originally launched iGoogle in 2005 before anyone could fully imagine the ways that today's web and mobile apps would put personalized, real-time information at your fingertips. With modern apps that run on platforms like Chrome and Android, the need for something like iGoogle has eroded over time, so we’ll be winding down iGoogle on November 1, 2013, giving you a full 16 months to adjust or easily...

How GOOGLE Glasses Could Revolutionize the Porn Industry Written by Melvin Martinez on June 29, 2012 The new ‘Google Glasses’ could be great for point-of-view porn, and Pink Visual thinks so as well. According to a spokesman: ‘Obviously, a device that allows you to shoot high quality video in a truly hands-free fashion will make shooting POV porn that much easier. ‘To really know their full potential, we’ll need to get a pair to play around with, but we’re already dreaming up ways to use the glasses to get shots (sex-related and otherwise) that just aren’t feasible using a traditional...

I'm seeking additional comment pro/con regarding the Armed Forces Retirement Homes, especially in Gulfport MS. The website has ample information regarding history, application and views but I was hoping the ever helpful Freeper community had an up close and personal opinion on the operation of these homes. After all we (military) plunked $0.50 a month into them...they claim self sufficiency...

HPP dust violates air quality standards, health agency says By TOM CALLIS Tribune-Herald staff writer Fifty-three years after its inception, the dust has yet to settle over the issue of unpaved roads in Hawaiian Paradise Park. If anything, it might just be about to get kicked up again. The state Department of Health on June 14 issued an informal notice of violation to the Hawaiian Paradise Park Owners Association over its dirt roads, saying that the dust produced by passing vehicles on dry days violates air quality regulations. While it may not sound menacing, association President June Conant worries that...
