Free Republic

The Federal Government throws out inflation numbers that don't even have a glancing interaction with reality. Every since they stopped including fuel, housing, and food in the CPI, it in no way reflects day to day existence here on the ground. Remember as a youth, you'd buy a big bag of Doritos for your party and you'd spend 99 cents? Well, I bought a much smaller bag for $4.69. Funions? $5.69. The bagels I'd but at Aldies went from $1.69 for 6 to $3.19 for 5. A bag of navel Oranges now costs $3.69 for 5. Things like Doritos have...

Vice President Kamala Harris' model stepdaughter Ella Emhoff bared her boobs while walking the runway at a New York Fashion Week show Saturday. Emhoff, who is the daughter of US second gentleman Doug Emhoff and first wife, Kerstin Emhoff, wore a barely-there mint blouse and a black leather lambskin miniskirt with black gloves for the outing. The outfit appeared to be a deliberate choice, and there's no suggestion the bared boobs were a wardrobe malfunction. The designer told The Associated Press he discovered an industrial space in the former home of the Japanese consulate while on a bike ride on...

A flight out of John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York made an emergency landing over the weekend after an unruly, foul-smelling passenger refused to wear a mask, snorted a white powder, groped a woman and, to top it all off, uttered racial slurs, according to reports. The suspect was taken into custody when the JetBlue flight to San Francisco made an unscheduled landing in Minneapolis late Sunday afternoon. The 42-year-old passenger, who lives in upstate New York, was charged with drug possession, according to reports. His name was not immediately released.

He's reported via Facebook that he's had a heart attack.

The Democrat House is considering gungrabbing bills already. In (dis)honor of their efforts, and based on a quote a Freeper named 'sport' sent me, I offer you this.

A counselor at a private school in South Carolina has been arrest after she allegedly told authorities that she had an inappropriate sexual relationship with an underage student. The relationship allegedly began in January, just five months after Prendergast started working at Spartanburg Day School, and ended several days before the relationship was reported to the police on March 25, investigators said. Spartanburg Day School is a private, co-ed independent school for students in pre-K to 12th grades where tuition can run up to $19,230 per year. The school “immediately” fired Prendergast after the police told them about the illicit...

I created this. It illustrates the dozens of systemic failures around the Florida school shooting. But the conclusion for liberals? "LET'S BLAME GUNS!" (This will serve as the basis for a long editorial. Keep your eyes peeled.)

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin offered comments about Wednesday’s mass murder at a Florida high school when she spoke with Breitbart News’s Senior Editor-at-Large Rebecca Mansour on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight on Friday. “It’s not a Second Amendment gun issue at all,” Palin said, adding, “What needs to be discussed is the failure of the FBI.” Incompetence at the FBI — not agitation against the Second Amendment — should be a national focus related to the mass shooting in Florida, said Palin. Adding to that assertion, Palin stated, “What needs to be discussed is the failure of the FBI. This...

Where every night is Ladies Night!

Revealed: Would-be Reagan assassin John Hinckley found love (and sex) with a string of mentally ill and violent women in his psychiatric facility and has been secretly working as an Amazon bookseller since his releaseThe only living person to ever shoot an American president has been enjoying a quiet and uneventful life in the six months since he was released from the psychiatric facility where he spent the past three decades. John Hinckley Jr., 61, was released from St. Elizabeths on September 10 of last year and into the care of his 91-year-old mother Joann, who the court has ordered...

So, I'm on Facebook, and this sweet little old lady Facemails me. She has very few friends, and she looked harmless enough, so I accepted her friend request. She mails me today. Much hilarity follows. Best spammer/scammer troll I have done in a while: Beverly Davis: Hi Me: Haylo Beverly Davis: Hi Me: Hi Low Beverly Davis:How are you doing ? Me: I am well, and you? Beverly Davis: am fin Beverly Davis: fine Me: Good! Beverly Davis: Have you heard about the program set up my president Trump economic committee to help people around the world ? Me: No...

Where are you Laz? This is IT. Day zero! We need your daily 3 AM post!

In the time of the Roman Empire, when a General won a major battle for Rome, he would hire or press an Auriga into service. An Auriga was a slave, albeit a very literate one, who would whisper into the General's ear "Memento homo"(remember you are only a mortal man) during the celebrations and processions. I will serve as Free Republic's Auriga, today. While I am ELATED that Donald Trump has seemingly cinched victory, I am forced to remind us all that America has just entered it's most dangerous time in the entire history of the country. The most dangerous...

I have been through several of the Free Republic "Silly Seasons", aka, the Republican presidential primaries. Every one of them is rough, but this is the worst one of all. I'm guilty of being a dog, but even this dog can learn new tricks. Here is my proposal: LET NO ONE SPEAK ILL OF ANYONE ELSES CANDIDATE. ONLY POST POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT *YOUR* CANDIDATE. I think that would just about eliminate the rancor. We won't get 100% participation. But heck, if we got even a fraction of that, Free Republic would be a lot nicer a place, in this, the...

Well?

Donald Trump in 2016 is the last hope for America. Ted Cruz is also a very good choice, but he just doesn't seem to quite light people on fire like Trump does. It may be too late for America, but we must try to reverse the damage of the Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama years. Unrestricted -- even encouraged -- illegal invasion of America is changing the very face of the electorate. We are losing in Trade Negotiations with the Chinese. Iran is on the brink of a nuclear weapon, and recently unveiled thousands of mobile missile launchers capable of delivering those weapons. Obamacare...

A week ago, when reading between the lines of what had heretofore been considered an inevitable USPS episode of austerity in which hundreds of thousands of labor union workers would lose their jobs but in the process would streamline a thoroughly outdated and inefficient US Postal Office bureaucracy, we asked if a US Postal Service bailout was imminent, focusing on the following: "Enter Ron Bloom, Lazard, and the very same crew that ended up getting a taxpayer funded bailout for GM. From the WSJ: "The Postal Service's proposal to close thousands of post offices and cut back on the number...

A Florida woman is still recovering from the insult at finding a valet ticket that described her as fat. Sharyn Peoples used a valet when she was in Boca Raton in early December to park at a local mall while she appeared at a play but when she picked up her car she found the ticket identifying the driver with the words 'play,' 'red dress' and 'fat.' 'I was mortified,' she told WTVJ. 'In handwriting it said 'play, red dress, and fat' on it.' Peoples said she found the description insulting and shocking and she contacted LAZ Parking of Florida,...
