Why do all the commercials on Newsmax play 2, 3 and 4 times during the same commercial break. It is so annoying. If I hear another Kia commercial or Booking.com commercial play 3 times in a row I am going to scream.

I just hear on local talk radio that the Russian plane crash in Moscow had high ranking figures from the Uranium One deal aboard. This is the first I have heard of this. Has anyone else heard this?

Can someone please answer a question for me? We have been groomed over the years by the liberal crowd to believe that illegal aliens entering this country (illegally of course) is not a criminal offense, only a civil matter. However, the following code of laws regarding immigration state clearly: 8 U.S. Code § 1325 - Improper entry by alien (a) Improper time or place; avoidance of examination or inspection; misrepresentation and concealment of facts Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2)...

Bond yields are of 7/32 this morning in early trading. Mortgage rates continue to plummet to almost all time low points. The gift from the European fiasco is the gift that keeps on giving if you are in the market for a mortgage for purchasing or refinancing.

Make no mistake about it. The "halftime" referred to in the Super Bowl halftime ad correlates to Obama's re-election strategy. It is 100% an Obama propoganda taxpayer paid ad for his sole benefit, not Chrysler. "Halftime" being referred to is 1/2 of a two term Presidency, and to sell the idea that he is only halfway done and he needs a 2nd term. Thoughts?

Anyone ever have a Kidney Stone? I had this excrutiating pain in my side/back area and drove myself to the hospital. Worst pain I ever experienced. I was like a baby screaming and crying in the hospital. Turns out, it was a kidney stone but the pain came and went in less than 2 hours. The nurse said it is sometimes worse than giving birth to a child...

Here we go again. Obama's aunt says Trump is lying and she knows he was born in Hawaii. Notice she closes her eyes when telling facts or asked questions? Signs inicating a lie! How come her whole wall has pictures of the President, yet no pictures when he was young? Once again, nobody, not even her aunt could show the newsreporter definitive proof.. Break out some of those old family photos Auntie, prove he was born here....

Ok...this question has been bugging me for a long time. I am adopted. Born in 1965 in NJ. My adoption records are permanently sealed. Both adoptive parents are US Citizens. I dont know the status of my birth parents, whether or not they were born here since I was adopted at birth. Like me, millions of people are adopted and do not know and may never know who their real birth parents are. I assume we will face this someday when an adopted child runs for President. Can I run for President if I wanted to? I was raised at...

Trump is growing on me more and more as possibly the right person to lead the nation. I am not 100% convinced he has conservative credentials, but he most certainly would be a person that could get this country back to a position of respect, world standing, economic prosperity etc. He seems to be talking the talk lately, and saying things that most conservatives are afraid to day. He might be the right person at the right time. Any thoughts from fellow freepers?

Something is going on...perhaps nuclear situation is much worse than they are leading on.. Dow futures as of a short time ago off 209 points in pre market trading. Rough day tommorrow in the markets....

Does anyone have any information as to what transpired with the Supremem Court conference yesterday regarding Obama's eligibility? I have seen nothing and cannot even find information, even on Freerepublic...

It is surfacing more and more each day thet the Obama administration met with the Muslim Brotherhood directly and is instigating the current Egypt riots. It has even been noted that ElBaradei and others met with state department officials in the USA, and known Obama supporting groups such as Code Pink, Unions, may also have involvement. I would like to see if others see it the same why I do that there should be an investigation over this. If proven true, would that not be a treasonous and impeachable offense?

Has anybody noticed the famous "shaved head" mugshot of the Arizona Shooter Jared Loughner? I may just be off base here, but I was wondering if anybody else had the same thought I had. It appears to me like he was almost made to look like a skinhead with his head shaved. I did a google search of this and it appears that others have reported a similiar theory. Perhaps I am just being conspiratorial, but Loughner is in the custody of that Sheriff who went out of his way to brand this guy a right wing nut. It is...

Mortgage rates have risen dramatically in the last few days. 30 YR fixed rates have increases from a low of 4% to almost 4.50% before settling down a bit today. 15 Year rates went from a low of 3.50% to almost 4% in the same 4 day period. A lot of people are refinancing right now to take advantage of the lower rates. Dont assume that rates will head back down. The Fedral reserve announced QE2, or quantitative easing which means that the feds are borrowing or printing money to buy their own treasuries. Normally, this would have a positive...

Has anyone noticed the increased radical protests of SEIU and other Community Activist groups lately? Where are all these people coming from and finding time to get bussed in and protest on some Bank Executive's front lawn. Are any taxpayer funded groups like Americorp and these newly approved taxpayer funded brown shirts taking part? Any input would be appreciated.

In watching American Idol this evening, something struck me that I wondered if others noticed. Tonight was charity night known as American Idol Gives Back! Obviously, the goal is to give back and help others in need. The show started off with a message from the Obama's. One of the featured people in need was a single mother and children, one of whom was burned by a neighborhood kid. While they were showing pictures of this family in need of financial assistance, I could not help but notice a CELL PHONE in the child's lap and a CELL PHONE EARPIECE...

Heard on Fox News this morning that the great recession of 2008-2009 is over, and that job growth will greatly accelerate in 2010. Fox News source... NABE (National Association of Business Economics) NABE Outlook: Recovery Soon to Lose "Jobless" Label Reaffirming last month’s call that the Great Recession is over, NABE panelists have marked up their predictions for economic growth in 2010 and expect performance to exceed its long-term trend.
