Does anyone have a listing of email addresses and numbers for members of the Liberty Caucus? This would extremely helpful in the push to oust Boehnor.

I'd like to see counter-protesters holding signs that say " Stop Lying! Cops are dying! Everytime this mob of anarchists (and that is what they are) start chanting and flashing their "Lying Signs" start shouting back at them " Stop Lying.......Cops are dying"

John Boehner epitomizes all that is wrong with the Republican Establishment. Boehner has thwarted every plan to overturn or ameliorate the most heinous aspects of Obama's neo-tyrannical rule. These days, I like to call Boehner Crying Cheeto. That is because he is an odd orange- or yellow-color, and cries at the drop of a hat. Boehner started, seemingly, on the right track. He was helpful in engineering the Contract with America in 1994, which helped propel Newt Gingrich to the position of the Chairman of the House. He quickly turned, however, and was involved in an unsuccessful attempt to unseat...

OK. So all the "pragmatic" conservatives who bit the bullet and voted for RINOs once again in November 2014 got their reward with the Republican votes for Obama and his trillion-dollar budget increase for 2015 in the lame duck session. These are the same people who scolded us about risking another 2 years of Harry Reid and a return of Nancy Pelosi as Speaker if we stayed home on election day. Well, I think reality is that anyone who votes for a RINO in the 2016 primaries, or in the general election, is voting for Hillary (or Warren or whomever...

A British soldier “shakes hands” with a kitten on a snowy bank, Neulette, 1917. In the Christmas truce film Joyeux Noël, a cat runs back and forth between the enemy trenches to soldiers that feed it. One names the cat Felix and the other Nestor, and when the two meet in No Man’s Land during thet ruce, a sweet argument ensues between the two men over whose cat it is and what is, in fact, its name. The director of the film, Carion, drew on a real life story of a cat who did this during the truce and was...

Where are folks gathering ?

Yesterday at my job I was walking through the building and one of my fellow associates was jesting about me working long hours, so I sighed and said a little spur-of-the-moment rhythm: Yes, we're now here but we aren't being queer We'll soon be out of here Well another associate, who happens to be an homosexual, overhead this from around the corner and went and complained that I made an derogatory comment and that it was an unforgivable act as far as he goes. Word got back to me about what the young man had said and I went to...

Does the administration have any role in which cases are argued in the Supreme Court? Do they have to take one side? Or can the simply pass on the case? What are the terms used for passing a case, or agreeing with one side? Thank you!

Watching the start of the Quick Lane Bowl: Rutgers vs North Carolina, now on ESPN. Several Rutgers players/coaches wearing NYPD hats at kick-off. Good to see considering much of the past left wing history of RU.

No sense in breaking my Christmas Tradition. Every generation has their heroes. When they pass, we compare them with the newcomers. And they come up short. The Beatles. Muhammad Ali. Ronald Reagan For Dad, it was Al Jolson. Joe Louis. Cal Coolidge. But my father knew music. Kid, he told me, here's the deal: Caruso - Power Gigli - Passion Bjoerling - Perfection I acknowledge his wisdom... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVYCudlVMSM Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Freepers! Merry Christmas Freepers!

Hello all. Sitting here at home and wondering if anyone else out there is spending this evening alone. On this night of all nights when families gather and friends share gifts and time, some of us are, for various reasons, spending Christmas Eve solo. Not necessarily a bad thing - alone doesn't always mean lonely. But, it does mean alone. Check in if that includes any of you, my fellow Freepers.

Is it possible that the world is witnessing a low threshold war that is actively being prosecuted by various actors on the international stage? Could it lead to a Political realignment as economic sanctions cripple countries hostile to the United States and other freedom loving peoples....

Common Core and the Bill Gates Foundation and George WillYou know it is awful when cautious and moderate conservative George Will is against you because Common Core is just another Federal power grab. My reasons for being against Common Core are: The Federal Department of Education is highly affirmative action as in employment preferences being given to liberals, lefties, militant women, gays, blacks, minorities/ I don't like it when these fanatics are running the show.The various States are always more fair on such hiring practicesThe Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is really the Melinda Gates Foundation. She calls the shotsShe...

Not a vanity post here but a question for the general audience. Remember all those over the top reports of ISIS/ISIL & their marches in Iraq,etc...? It was reported about 5 weeks ago they were on the outskirts of B'dad. Haven't a peep out of press on their supposed foray into Bagdad and take-over of the Green Zone. And as a reminder there are refugees still on Mt. Sinjar and it's not going well at all.

Yes they do for their tolerating and promoting cop hatred. Also Bloomberg has blood on his hands for his taxing cigarettes to the hilt.

The media is now in full CYA mode over the shooting of 2 NYPD officers yesterday as they have gone to ground to give full cover to President Obama, the Mayor of New York, Al Sharpton and the whole crazed Left Wing. The created narrative now is that, "This was a lone suicidal gunmen, that had nothing to do with the anti-police protest or the movement for social justice!" The media has been quick to read statements from Obama, the Mayor and Sharpton concerning the shootings in the hopes of deflecting blame, but we need to remember that this was...

What is wrong with environmental wackos that they think the laws of physics do not apply to them? The screwy new fuel cans that have no vent are impossible to use. Supposedly the vent will release something undesirable into the air but as that vent is only open when the can is I cannot imagine having a vent is worse than having the can open. Without a vent, the can sort of glugs splashing fuel about, certainly more harmful that vapors and more wasteful. Typical moronic ideas based on desires and not reality.

Just got my annual 1.7% increase notice and with it the statement ;
