I need to begin by mentioning that my mother was Canadian. She was a missionary in Japan after the Second World War, and there she met my dad, an American naval officer, in the course of his involvement in the Korean War. How they got together is quite the story, but let us not get sidetracked. What matters for us today is that a Canadian and an American did in fact get together, and so I grew up in a home that was very much aware of “all things Canada.” As a result, I have to say that I had...

Football must be the hardest, players are spread out all over the field.

Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. This article first appeared on JNS. Israel recently signed agreements establishing relations with four Muslim nations: the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco. Both good and bad news surround this development. The bad news is bland and predictable: a permanent peace between Israel and its Muslim neighbors is, according to Islamic law, or sharia, impossible: any land that was once part of Dar al-Islam—that is, any land that was ever conquered by Muslims for any length of time—is always part of Islam and must be recovered by...

A national crisis on this level must involve the whole of government, as it must involve the whole people. Although we did not have it in view in 1861, America broke the back of slavery as a government-sanctioned institution for the entire world’s vision of civilized life, by throwing the institution off in blood and thunder, with prejudice. What we do now about the honesty of elections, of government, and of government’s accountability to protect our rights and not trample them, will have a similar echo throughout the earth. The simple, homely concept of executable, accountable law, the lodestone of...

What a fun show!

I’m not spilling any beans here. Demille wrote a forward abt his Vietnam experiences. He says AF pilots ‘knew’ some shot down pilots were forced to teach military tactics, etc. to the Soviets. what do Freepers think? Fact or fiction?

What Really Happened to Malaysia’s Missing Airplane Five years ago, the flight vanished into the Indian Ocean. Officials on land know more about why than they dare to say. at 12:42 a.m. on the quiet, moonlit night of March 8, 2014, a Boeing 777-200ER operated by Malaysia Airlines took off from Kuala Lumpur and turned toward Beijing, climbing to its assigned cruising altitude of 35,000 feet. The designator for Malaysia Airlines is MH. The flight number was 370. Fariq Hamid, the first officer, was flying the airplane...

Just watched a 2013 doc. Just wondering.

Illinois homeowners, who already pay some of the nation's highest property taxes, should pay about 40 percent more for the next three decades to wipe out the state's crippling pension debt, according to a trio of economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. The economists argue that paying off the state's $129.1 billion in unfunded pension obligations cannot be done with revenue from new taxes such as a tax on marijuana sales or on financial transactions. Would you pay 40 percent more in property taxes if it would wipe out the state's crippling pension debt? Yes No See results...

295 US airmen fired, demoted over using dino-puppet for oath Three members of the Tennessee Air National Guard have been removed from their posts after a video of an oath-taking ceremony involving a puppet dinosaur went viral.

NEW YORK — Notorious drug cartel boss Joaquín Guzmán, more commonly known as “El Chapo,” has promised to not kill any jurors from his upcoming federal trial, according to his lawyer. Fox News reports prosecutors asked Brooklyn Federal Court Justice Brian Cogan to impanel an anonymous jury and provide them with armed guards to and from a secured location. The prosecution cited El Chapo’s history of violence and instances in which he’s tried to kill witnesses in the past.

Or was that in a dream?

In the biggest and most politically-explosive investigation in more than a decade, an investigation that has obvious national security implications, alleged cyber-espionage by a hostile foreign power, alleged collusion and treason by high-ranking officials, the possible impeachment of a sitting president, and yet, the FBI has not yet secured or examined the DNC servers that may or may not provide compelling forensic evidence of cyber-intrusion by Russia? Isn’t it curious Mueller’s legal dream team of 25 (including support staff) has only one lawyer that is versed in foreign-government influence of elections? The reason the FBI never insisted on examining the...

Hello. I searched for antifa and gettysburg on FR but found nothing, so I am sorry if this is a rerun. I read on Twitter that Antifa is planning a march at Gettysburg Cemetary on July 1 (saturday). I read they plan to knock over and write grafitti on tombstones. Did anyone else see this?

Fernando Alonso is to make a shock assault on the Indianapolis 500 this year, and will therefore skip the clashing Monaco Grand Prix. The surprise move has come against the backdrop of a disappointing start to the 2017 Formula 1 season for the Spaniard, with the McLaren-Honda package not delivering all that had been hoped. However, despite Monaco perhaps offering McLaren its best chance of a result early in the campaign, the lure of contesting the iconic Indy 500 has proved too much for Alonso.

Just over six years ago, in December of 2010, we wrote "Charting America's Transformation To A Part-Time Worker Society", in which we predicted - and showed - that in light of the underlying changes resulting from the second great depression, whose full impacts remain masked by trillions in monetary stimulus and soon, perhaps fiscal, America is shifting from a traditional work force, one where the majority of new employment is retained on a full-time basis, to a "gig" economy, where workers are severely disenfranchised, and enjoy far less employment leverage, job stability and perks than their pre-crash peers. It also...
