Good Morning. At the top of the Newsdump. The total number of US soldiers remaining in Syria was increased to 400 on Friday. After the initial announcement by the White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders Thursday, the media was told 200. But on Friday the number was increased in the information parcelled out to the media..... Two were killed and other wounded Friday when forces loyal to Nicolas Maduro opened fire on civilians trying to keep the border with Brazil open after he ordered it shut down to prevent humanitarian aid coming across. Interim President Juan Guaido made it across...

Is our country going to see renewal or continued distortion? There are many promising things that have happened in the last two years (economic boom, lowest unemployment rates for minorities, missiles are not being tested in North Korea, Jerusalem is where the U.S. embassy is, welcome to all legal immigrants and great steps to stop illegal immigration, ect,ect,ect... Yet the toxic leaders of culture and the NPC's appear to be maintaining their influence. I observe the masses enjoying the influence of conservative policy while at the same time see so many in perpetual outrage. Appears these interesting times could go...

Let me begin by predicting that Trump will finish a wall of protection along the southern border, just not in this term in office. I predict that Trump will not only win in 20/20 but voters will bring in with him congressmen who will support the President’s policies. It’s going to be a swamp clean up like this disaster of a Congress never happened. Trump will eventually win as usual. Some of you, perhaps most of you were not pleased with my article predicting that Trump will temporarily be prevented from finishing the wall in his first term. Some of...

Finally a Liberal Show spoofs this, will SNL?

Quick question: My son had a severe accident, someone flew over the median into his car and totalled it. He is ok but needs some surgery. He needs to get his tires and rims off and put junk ones on. Where does one find junk tires and rims? Quickly size 5x114.3 lug Is that something junk yards would have?

How Dare You Hoax us Jussie! We are the Hoaxers Against Trump! Don't you know what you are doing to us, Jussie?? We are using false charges of Racism, Sexism, Homophobia to Smear Trump and you do this to us?? You have set back our Hoaxes big time and now the public will start looking at us you fool! We hoaxed the public with the Covington Kids. We hoaxed them with Kavanaugh. We even hoaxed them to save Hillary's A$$ over the Steel Dossier. We've been running hoax operation after hoax operation and you think your going to hoax us!...

When it comes to collusion with Russia, this investigation would be simple. Waiting for Comey to release his investigation. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

The seminal case on executive authority exercised in a declared national emergency is the case in which President Nixon ordered that the steel industry be nationalized. Youngstown Sheet Tube Co v. Sawyer Sawyer v. Youngstown Sheet Tube Co, 343 U.S. 579, 72 S.Ct. 863, 96 L.Ed. 1153, 26 A.L.R.2d 1378 (1952) The defense asserted was that the President’s order amounted to lawmaking, a legislative function which the Constitution has expressly confided to the Congress and not to the President. President Truman claimed he was acting in a national emergency as the Commander and Chief. It is settled law that the...

So now that the USSC is back in session, when do we get a verification of life regarding RBG? Still no pics or video.

Complaint by California et als. vs. Trump et als. to stop building the wall

Team C.O.R.T.EZ (Confident Of Reelecting Trump EZ)

What’s the next possible course of action? Is it over for the wall? I don’t trust that guy and it’s obvious that everybody in Washington DC saved for a small group is trying to do everything within their power to deny Trump his key signature issue. They’re determined that he loses the election next year

My source on all things courts and legal, Zen Master, has weighed in with some excellent information on the path ahead for the Declaration of Emergency. 1. For a case to be heard, it must meet at least these three conditions: standing, ripeness, and aggrieved party. First, standing: the DoE only affects four states: TX, NM, AZ, and CA. Only a party in one of those four can bring a suit in the Ninth (CA/AZ), Tenth (NM), or Fifth (TX) Circuit Courts. But even before you can do that, you must be an aggrieved party, meaning you must show direct...

It's time for all Americans, regardless of their political persuasion, to come together and support our president. Whether you've been for or against him, it's time to admit, he's paid his dues. He's walked the walk. Like Ronald Reagan, he's been true to his promises and stayed the coarse, despite the daily onslaught of slings and arrows coming from all sides. Whether you're that fair weather, mostly street dumb fan Ann Coulter, who called him "a lunatic" and "dumb" because he didn't call for a National Emergency months ago, or those whom we cherish, like Laura Ingraham and Rush who...

There is a wait of about 10 minutes right now. It's worth it and it is one small way you can actually influence the outcome.

I really tried. But especially since she gave up her radio show, Laura Ingraham has become unwatchable. Bringing on these idiot Dems, like Chris Hahn, and Scott What's-his-face as some sort of "balanced" view is a complete failure. Lou Dobbs has the template for success. I make sure to DVR him, and play during the 10pm ET hour. Laura, we hardly knew ye. Good bye.

Is it possible that the person underneath the KKK outfit was Northam's wife (his date then?) Northam was too tall to be under the outfit, so he had to be in blackface. So who was under the KKK hood?

For women in particular, domestic violence is a leading cause of homelessness. And the top causes of homelessness among families are: (1) lack of affordable housing, (2) unemployment, (3) poverty, and (4) low wages, in that order. And guess what states have the highest homeless? Hawaii and New York, have a higher per capita homeless rate than California's. Finally, records show California, indeed, has the highest total homeless population at over 150,000, far more than second place New York. Will the invading caravans from south of the border help relieve the homeless situation especially in California? And don't forget Los...

We decided (by “We” I mean my wife) that we should celebrate our Son’s big achievement. He got out of bed before noon. No. He graduated. I know. We were all kind of surprised. We needed an appropriate reward, but Miss Oregon was already taken, so we thought a trip would be nice. Yeah. A good trip. A trip to the big luau. That’s right. Seattle. Turns out the whole city was booked up. They were having a coffee stirrers convention or something. You know, I applied for one of those, what do they call them, bannisters, job. You know....stirring...

Dear Fellow FReepers, I'm probably the only person in America who still faithfully listens to Classic Rock on terrestrial radio, specifically a Washington, DC-based station - BIG 100.3 FM. This morning, I noticed that they took away my favorite DJ, El Duave, and in his place put on a national show titled "The Real Deal", which mixes automotive, music, politics, etc. I'm upset about this because I tune to BIG 100 to escape from politics and all that stuff, and to listen to my favorite tunes as I run my errands, cook and do housework on weekends. During the week...
