  • Roberts joins court's liberals to deny California church's lockdown challenge

    A sharply divided Supreme Court late Friday turned aside a church's urgent plea that California's coronavirus lockdown orders are putting an unconstitutional burden on religious freedom. Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the court's liberals in rejecting a San Diego church's request for relief from Gov. Gavin Newsom's most recent directive limiting churches to 25% of their normal maximum capacity, with an absolute maximum of 100 people at any service. In a three-page opinion {pdf} issued just before the stroke of midnight Washington time, Roberts said it would be unwise for the court to intervene on an emergency basis as...
  • Almonds Are Out. Dairy Is a Disaster. So What Milk Should We Drink?

    The Guardian via Pocket Worthy {Yahoo} ^ | May 30, 2020 | Annette McGivney The Guardian
    A glass of dairy milk produces almost three times more greenhouse gas than any plant-based milk. But vegan options have drawbacks of their own. For environmentally minded consumers, the news is hard to swallow: almond milk is not healthy for the planet and the popular milk substitute is especially hard on bees. Our recent investigation into the connection between California’s industrialized almond industry and a record 50bn commercial bee deaths created quite a buzz. The widely read story prompted one primary response from readers: “What should we be drinking instead?” This is a thorny question, and food sustainability experts are...
  • How did the last Neanderthals live?

    Archaeology via BBC Future ^ | January 29, 2020 | By Melissa Hogenboom
    In many ways, the last surviving Neanderthals are a mystery. But four caves in Gibraltar have given an unprecedented insight into what their lives might have been like. Forty thousand years ago in Europe, we were not the only human species alive – there were at least three others. Many of us are familiar with one of these, the Neanderthals. Fossil evidence shows that, towards the end, the final few were clinging onto survival in places like Gibraltar. In recognition of this, Gibraltar received Unesco world heritage status in 2016. ... "They weren't just surviving," the Gibraltar museum's director of...
  • I Can No Longer Tolerate Rush Limbaugh Misrepresenting Medicare

    self post | July 9, 2013 | Bob Ireland
    For some years I have listened to Rush Limbaugh, and heard him picture Medicare recipients as some sort of ungrateful leaches sucking off of the public dole. He characterizes them as resisting having to pay a dime for their medical coverage. Being a fan of Rush, I have tolerated this misguidance on his part and sent him e-mails [I am 24-7 member] trying to save him from being caught in a 'lie'. He has never responded to these e-mails - for whatever reason. Then yesterday - Monday - he mentioned a story about the Congress considering a bill to make...

    Loren J. Ems, author of "Sword of Liberty" has organized an Article V Constitutional conference at the University of Central Florida. The event, to be held the weekend of April 26-27, has enlisted a number of 'experts' to participate. Such an 'Article V' convention can be held by various states, bypassing Washington altogether. This current effort would be a beginning. Citizens are encouraged to participate, and can enroll at the conference web site. Any FReeper including those from Florida are welcome to participate in the weekend meetings. Attendance is FREE
  • How the Dems in Charlotte can compensate for Clint Eastwood in Tampa

    The Dems are meeting in Charlotte next week. They follow a spirited, zealous scene in Tampa this week. The appearance by film actor Clint Eastwood helped the GOP gathering reach a foot-stomping crescendo. What can they do to counteract this burst of enthusiasm? Here is a suggestion that might prove useful. THEY COULD INVITE THEIR OWN FILM STAR, ALEC BALDWIN!!! Instead of an empty chair, Baldwin could put his daughter in the chair next to Him with a sign around her neck with 'Mitt Romney' printed thereon. Then he could unload on her as only Alec Baldwin could. He could...

    For those of you who hope to overturn all these huge government power grabs by election this November, name one tyranny in history that was overturned by popular vote. This week the SCOTUS has stamped 'closed' to the Constitution, state's rights, voter's rights... For almost a century the Marxists have been trying to run over the Constitution; this week it is signed, sealed and buried. Once again I call for a Constitutional Convention of states with a view towards secession! The country that used to be called 'The United States of America' will squabble and pettifog over all these issues,...

    Dear Arizona; As Justice Antonin Scalia has just written, the SCOTUS opinion against the state of Arizona concerning immigration problems has made the phrase 'sovereign state' of no further effect. The primary function of government is to serve the people it represents. One primary function under that obligation is to protect the population it serves. The SCOTUS opinion states that - if the United States Federal Government has statutory mandate to fulfill that obligation - then the state has no right to supersede the Federal Government when the Federal Government refuses to extend that protection. The effect of the SCOTUS...

    Thursaday evening, April 8, 2010, Democrat Congressman Alan Grayson crashed an Orange County [Florida] Republican meeting at a Perkins restaurant. He was waving a memo which he claimed indicated that the GOP was 'spying' on the Democrat 'Progress for America' meetings. [Progress for America is a pro-Obama, pro- socialist Democrat organization.] A shouting match ensued between the bombastic Democrat and Republican Party leaders. Patrons of Perkins were awed by the interchange. Details not yet available.

    LONDON — A Spanish court has taken the first steps toward opening a criminal investigation into allegations that six former high-level Bush administration officials violated international law by providing the legal framework to justify the torture of prisoners at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba ... The case, against former Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and others, was sent to the prosecutor’s office for review by Baltasar Garzón... The official said that it was “highly probable” that the case would ... lead to arrest warrants. The move represents a step toward ascertaining the legal accountability of top Bush administration officials for allegations of...
  • Esau Endorses Nimrod - Josephus reporting; Babel on the Potomac

    Esau Endorses Nimrod - Josephus reporting; Babel on the Potomac Well, the title sounds terribly ambitious - almost like an Otto Preminger film. Still, there is a point that can be made, a point that relates critically to America and its peoples right now. What Scripture tells us about Nimrod is that he is just a few generations removed from Noah and his son Ham. Genesis chapter 10 states: Nimrod... began to be a mighty one in the earth ... He was a mighty hunter before the LORD. Chapter 11 continues: And they said, Go to, let us build us...

    Minute Gal has sent me the enclosed message on her current condition... "Despite several last-minute pesky infections and delays, Leni's (MinuteGal) surgery was performed Wednesday morning. She's now resting at home under the watchful eyes of family. "She sends her heartfelt thanks and love to the many freepers who posted prayers and well-wishes on this thread. She's unable to answer each post, but she wants it known that the name and sentiments of each poster will remain in her heart. "MinuteGal says she's in total FR withdrawal right now which even pain pills can't alleviate. She hopes to be back...

    NO, RUSH, WE DIDN'T HEAR IT FROM YOU FIRST. We read it HERE first. YES: we are establishing a permanent under-class... YES: we are establishing a permanent ruling class... Rember the name of your senator and representative... you will be reading that name for a long time; then their children will step up and rule us. The only thing that will change the names over time is when they screw up and get caught draining off our wealth for themselves - perhaps like the present case of William Jefferson (D., La) ... although it should be noted that, despite two...
  • Our Priviledged Class Is an Oligarchy - or How the Wealthy Are Enslaving Us

    It Is An Oligarchy - And Here Is How the Wealthiest Politicians are Designing to Enslave America's Working Class by: Bob Ireland Long-time FReepers may remember my constant warnings that America's government is becoming an oligarchy: both local and national. Now we are seeing the continuing emerging evidence supporting my claim. The reason Mexico depends on emigration of its poor class into the United States illegally is because the wealth of Mexico is funneled into the pockets of a wealthy priviledged class. This migration not only solves the problem of not sharing the country's wealth among all Mexico's classes, but...

The tribes needed the OK of the Interior Department, which oversees American Indian matters. But several other tribes opposed the deal. They already had their gambling concerns up and...

    IT'S AN OLIGARCHY, FER SHURE How would one define an 'oligarchy'? It is rule by a priviledged class... one class that is above the law, one class that is persecuted by the law... one class that can not be touched by the law, one class that can not escape prosecution by the law. Why do I write: IT'S AN OLIGARCHY, STUPID!? Because, for example, the Clinton's were both proved to have broken the law, yet neither were prosecuted and tried. Darling Billy was fined by a federal judge for perjury and obstruction of justice... but the prosecutor chose not to...

    GEORGE BUSH MAY GO DOWN AS THE WORST PREZ IN HISTORY or WHY IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE A REPUBLICAN TODAY President George Bush has not distinguished himself by fighting for his judicial nominees. Indeed, the way he treated Miguel Estrada, he is arguably worse than the Democrats in the Senate. Now seven Senators have made a deal to run the Senate, and they claim that it would be best for the President to get in his Presidential Yugo and drive down to the Senate Building carrying his hat in his hand to get his judicial nominees pre-approved. If President...

    T H E - C A S E - F O R - S E C E S S I O N by Bob Ireland There is much talk amongst the sour-grapes Lefties about seceding from the Union. Let me say from the top that I agree with the premise of secession! Of course, the pin-head Lefties get it all wrong - as usual; they think that to the loser go the spoils. They want to peel off a few states - I guess mostly the Southern states - and 'give' them to the victors. Along more practical lines, I...
