Free Republic

Are there any financial advisers on here with a good knowledge of annuities. Got a situation with lump sum offer and have no idea what to do. Yes, I've read everything I can read, and yes, I've exhausted other resources before posting here, plus my original adviser died. This is a last resort and I'd rather give my business to a FReeper anyway. Please private reply if we can talk/zoom/email. You will be vetted! Sorry for the vanity!

Last year, CVS Health Corporation, the largest pharmacy chain in the United States, paid then-CEO Larry Merlo almost 618 times the median company wage, while simultaneously launching a mandatory “antiracist” training program for hourly employees to deconstruct their “privilege.” I have reviewed whistleblower documents that reveal the company’s extensive race-reeducation program, which is built on the core tenets of critical race theory, including “intersectionality,” “white privilege” and “unconscious bias.”

Are any FReepers attending this year? Is there a plan for FReepers to get together? Does anybody know the mask mandate in Orlando/Orange County, FL? Only news I can find about masks dates back to Sept/Oct. Hope to meet some of you this year!

What is going on in this clip? What is the coin and who are those people giving it to him? Sorry if already posted, sorry if I didn't post correctly.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will "no longer control" the coronavirus data collection system from hospitals across the nation, a spokesman for U.S. Health and Human Services confirmed Tuesday night. The New York Times reported earlier Tuesday that the administration had ordered hospitals to bypass the CDC and send all COVID-19 patient information to a central database in Washington beginning Wednesday, raising concerns from health experts that it will be politicized or withheld from the public.

Hello Dear Freepers! My little grandsons are almost 7 and 10. They attend a private Christian school, but we remain concerned about what is required history -- or rather what is not required. Do any of you have suggestions for age appropriate materials for teaching at home so it's fun and interesting? They are both very bright and the oldest is all about some Trump and likes to talk politics. I just don't want their history taken from them. Thanks in advance! PPM

FReepers, I just made my paltry pledge to Free Republic. South Carolina is currently at 21st place on the score board with 14 FReepers donating an average of $27.14, for a total of only $380 donated from South Carolina. The other Southern states that are ahead of us: #2 Texas total: $2,561.79, 98 FReepers #3 Florida total: $2,105.00, 58 FReepers #5 Virginia total: $1,035.00, 34 FReepers #12 Georgia total: $ 723.24, 30 FReepers #19 Alabama total: $ 420.00, 20 FReepers #21 South Carolina total: $380.00, 14 FReepers #23 Louisiana total: $330.00, 9 FReepers #30 Tennessee total: $250.00, 13 FReepers #33...

Second Amendment Sisters is a grassroots organization that was born on FreeRepublic. With the blessings of our dear Jim Robinson, five FReeper ladies took off to challenge the "Million" Mom March, also affectionately known in inner circle as the "commie mommies." Once again the commie mommies plan to invade Washington, DC, on a day that should be set aside to honor the women who gave us life, to call for more infringement on the rights granted to you at birth.The woman who gave me life was brutally murdered at the age of 27. For that reason, I will not stand...

The democrat el presidente' candidates will hold their first debate in Columbia, SC, on May 3. Are any FReeper interested in picketing? I am near Columbia and can get the permit. Also, need ideas for signs (fairly quickly). Please email, FReepmail, post here if there is any interest in this at all. SC is an important player in the primaries. We need to let the lefties know this is Constitution Country!

Robert E. Lee was an honest man, and no modern conservative. He would say that he SURRENDERED at Appomattox. He demanded no conditions. But since Grant unilaterally showed some mercy to the Confederates, modern conservatives would say he COMPROMISED. On April 9, 1865, General Lee reached what a modern conservative would call a compromise with Union General US Grant. On the one hand, Lee's country ceased to exist, all the principles of the South were lost, the South was condemned to Reconstruction for twelve years and permanent inferiority within the Union. But Grant, on his own, let Lee keep his ...

Just got a phone call that the SC House of Representatives has rejected the Senate compromise bill. After the House voted to pass the bill last week, it went back to the Senate for approval where the Senate did some minor tweaking.I just received a phone call that the House voted down the version that was sent back to them by 115/2. Will post later as more news comes in.

I just received a call that the the Confederate Soldiers monument on the statehouse grounds in Columbia, SC was vandalized last night. The statehouse workers are in the process of washing the monument now, but I'm told that "Take it down" and other slogans were written on the monument in red spray paint.This monument sits in front of the capitol building at a very wide and very open intersection. This is also the proposed new site of the Confederate Flag according to the current compromise in the House of Representatives which will take the Confederate Flag off the dome and ...

(For education and discussion purposes only.) COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The NAACP, fighting to bring the Confederate flag down from the South Carolina Statehouse, has asked Gov. Jim Hodges to veto a bill that would create a Martin Luther King Jr. holiday alongside one honoring the Confederacy. ``We're against tying the two together,'' said James Gallman, president of the state National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. ``And the people we're talking too are also against it.'' Hodges plans a major ceremony Monday — planting a tree grown from a seedling from Selma, Ala. — to honor the King ...

To quote our Texas State Coordinator "if you can't stand the gunfire, get off the range," the gun control petition on the i-Charity site hosted by the Million Mom marchers has been removed. As you know, the Second Amendment Sisters are hosting a pro-Second Amendment petition on the same site which was side-by-side to the anti-gun Million Mom March petition. Since October the Million Mom Marchers managed to garner 30 signatures. Our pro-Second Amendment hit the web with a fury and in six days had collected over 10,000 signatures. As of this posting, there are over 12,000 signatures and still ...

To the women of Free Republic and freedom-loving women everywhere: Are we going to take this Million Mom March laying down? Show of hands if you think not. Good, then let's get started.
