Patsy Cline was born on the 8th of September, 1932, in Winchester, Virginia. As her words attest, she is a country music great: “You want me to act like we’ve never kissed, you want to forget; pretend we’ve never met , and I’ve tried and I’ve tried, but I haven’t yet… You walk by, and I fall to pieces.” “I’m gonna walk a little bit of dog.” “Oh, I offended you with my opinion? You should hear the the ones I keep to myself.” “Carnegie Hall was real fabulous, but you know, it ain’t as big as the Grand Ole...

Two Las Vegas parents have sued their daughter's school district after the 15-year-old was made to memorize and read out a sexually-explicit monologue in front of her theater class. Parents Candra and Terrell Evans filed the $50,000 lawsuit against the Clark County School District and its superintendent, Dr. Jesus Jara, alleging they engaged in 'unlawful grooming and abuse of a minor' over the assignment which they characterized as 'pornographic material.'

The power of the House of Representatives rests in the power of the purse and the Article I, Section 7 provision that "All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives." The budgeting process needs reform. Budgets should be crafted long in advance insomuch as possible. Haste does indeed make waste. Basic operating budgets by department that contain clearly needed constitutional funding acceptable by both the vast majority of Republicans and Democrats should be enacted into law several months in advance of the start of a fiscal year. The federal government should never face a widespread shutdown...

Max Blumenthal implies that the affluence of American Jews undermines the justification for the existence of the State of Israel... Candace jumps right in and appears to endorse this opinion. Is she going full anti-Semitic justifying her propping up of a rapper she has befriended? Is supporting Israel really just another form of 'political correctness' or grievance mongering? Interested in your opinions.

Walmart is reportedly dropping its MyPillow products, according to controversial CEO Mike Lindell. On a Wednesday Facebook Live, Lindell said he’s had recent meetings with top Walmart officers, who informed him the big box store is taking his products off the shelves. Lindell claimed the move came despite high sales numbers and offers by him to allow Walmart to sell his products at a lower price. He then proceeded to call the officers he’d spoken with “liars” multiple times. "I said you guys are canceling us, just like the other box stores,” Lindell said on the Facebook Live. “Shame on...

City Journal's Christopher F. Rufo reports that "Evanston-Skokie School District 65 has adopted a radical gender curriculum that teaches pre-kindergarten through third-grade students to celebrate the transgender flag, break the 'gender binary' established by white 'colonizers,' and experiment with neo-pronouns such as 'ze,' 'zir,' and 'tree.'" (Tree?) In his piece, Rufo claimed that he had "obtained the full curriculum documents, which are part of the Chicago-area district's 'LGBTQ+ Equity Week,' which administrators adopted last year." This is yet another instance of an educational institution going all out to "groom" — meaning indoctrinate — young children into acting, behaving, and identifying...

Russia's Black Sea flagship which sank yesterday after an explosion on board may have been carrying nuclear warheads, analysts and experts have warned today, as a Russian politician said more than 400 sailors could have gone down with the ship. The Moskva, a Soviet-era guided missile cruiser, sank near the port of Sevastopol on Thursday after Ukraine said it hit the ship with two cruise missiles. Today, Mykhailo Samus, director of a Lviv-based military think-tank; Andriy Klymenko, editor of Black Sea News; and Ukrainian newspaper Defence Express all warned that the Moskva could have been carrying two nuclear warheads designed...

After a three week absence which ran from Feb 5 to 19, I'm back. Some FReepers will celebrate my return. Others will feel differently :) Long story short, I live out in the country in Aiken County, SC. Nearest neighbors are 1/4 mile away and we don't communicate that much. Due to the remote location, there is no "wired Internet" out here. I chose to use my cell phone's Hotspot to connect to my home computer and the cell tower located about .75 mile from here. This worked fine for 4+ years. I use the Internet A LOT to keep...

Alex Jones breaks down the meaning of William Shatner's observations from looking back at the earth and lamenting a 'Coming Catastrophic Event.'

This is a graphic demonstration of the fallacy of masks for the prevention of virus infections.

Two hundred years ago, it would take months to get from New York City to Los Angeles. Hundreds of miles of rutted roads by horse and carriage and that would be the best part of the journey. The people of 1821 would be amazed if they knew that within 200 years, you could make the journey in just a few hours in the comfort of a jetliner, where you would be drinking coffee or maybe having a Bloody Mary or two. Now imagine that you could make the journey in just 15 minutes. How much would that change our world?...

With all due respect to the Robinsons, can we please get a clear and final answer regarding twitter linked videos and stories? I have tried to post same earlier and my post was deleted while others post and their stories remain up on the site. In particular I was trying to link to a video that Jack Posobiec psoted on twitter. Jack is a Christian, Veteran Navy intel officer, and China analyst. Post seem to be up to the whim of the moderator as compared to a stated policy that is equally applied. I really do not care what the...

When political activists are attempting to pass a long-term agenda with emotion and fear, they cannot allow dissent. The emotional narrative they are pushing is fragile. Dissent causes people to think. Thinking causes the narrative to collapse. Andy Dalsin, alone and courageous high school student, stood up to the organized political agenda of the left. He “spoke truth to power”. He was not allowed to protest with others of his school, but was driven off by the school principal, Lonnie Seifert. From kstp.com, video at link: Dalsin said principal Lonnie Seifert told him to give up a sign that...

“What is good for the United States is good for the rest of the world,” has been Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s mantra. Americans know how stock prices have exploded in the United States since President Trump’s election, but stock prices started rising at the same time around the world. To the shocks of Trump’s American opponents, he was greeted by the international elites at the gathering in Davos, Switzerland as almost a conquering hero. Meanwhile, George Soros told people at the meetings that he thought that Trump was a “danger” to the world. So many people view economics as a...

Please, for the love of God, spread these table manner errors so that they might be adopted far and wide. 1 & 3 have driven me to fantasize about punching fellow diners in the throat! Some of the rest of these are benign...

This is shocking and this is what’s happened in my little town of Waimea: My eye dr for over 20 years , Dr Fischer, who disagreed with my political views that he read about in a letter I wrote to the editor to WHT, refused to return my calls for a medical emergency. I had returned home from D.C. where I had met candidate Donald Trump . I called his office 4 times and no one returned my calls. I finally just went in. I had a tumor growing in my eye as diagnosed from the urgent care clinic here...
