    The Hill ^ | 09/06/18 | Emily Birnbaum
    There were no visible demonstrations by NFL players during the national anthem before the season opener on Thursday night. All of the Atlanta Falcons and most of the Philadelphia Eagles stood throughout the anthem, including players who have previously demonstrated, such as Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins. Eagles defensive end Michael Bennett wandered around the bench throughout the anthem and sat down near the end, but he did not kneel. Most of the players reportedly had their hands over the chests throughout the anthem. Last month, several Eagles players, including Jenkins, did not take the field during the national anthem at...

    Watching Jeff Flake question Kavanaugh. You thought Republicans will only ask friendly questions to Republican nominees? You were wrong. Flake is right now asking a series of questions all of which are designed to attack the President. He's even a bigger Jerk than I thought.

    Above the gray concrete of Union Square and crowds of tourists scrambling about it, you perceive, after a moment, the eyes of Colin Kaepernick. The eyes of Kaepernick are gray and solemn — their irises multiple stories high. They look out over Union Square in the city where the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback was once athletic royalty.

    Amidst growing accusations that Pope Francis ignored and may have even helped cover up sexual misconduct by the clergy, a defiant Francis issued a proclamation Sunday banning plastic straws and cups from the Vatican Commissary “in an effort to allow little boys in emerging nations all over the world to swim in clean plastic-free oceans without the necessity of bathing suits, which — as we all know — are hateful to God.”

    Fellow Freepers, In all of the hoopla and bs surrounding the "final farewell" for McCain, one person seems to be significantly absent in it all. That person in the original Mrs. John S. McCain: Carol McCain. For those who do not know, she was married to McCain when he was shot down over Vietnam. Prior to his deployment, Carol McCain was, by all accounts, quite a beauty. She was a 5' 7" tall, a successful swimsuit model, and the mother of three children (one by McCain, and two by an earlier marriage that McCain adopted). While McCain was a POW,...

    Hi I sort of miss seeing posts, by TigerLikesRooster. I heard he moved somewhere, last week from someone. I just decided to send this note, and ask if anyone knows the individual, if he might please be invited to come back? Saying "he" assuming that is correct. I know he apparently still has his membership. I have seen others at times leave, and thought it would be worth it to try, anyway.

    Didn't DemocRATS Politicization of a Funeral Backfire in 2002? Didn't they Learn Anything? In 2002, they turned Senator Paul Wellstone's funeral into a pep-rally and it backfired big time. Now they double down on McCain's and Aretha Franklin's funerals as as well. What will be the Result this time?
  • A Hurricane intercepts a Messerschmitt during a thrilling Battle of Britain dogfight (TR)

    UK Daily Mail ^ | 09/01/2018 | Neil Tweedie
    In the summer sky over rural Dorset, a swirling air battle rages. Supermarine Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes vie for control of the air with Messerschmitt Me 109s, while Stuka dive-bombers plunge earthward, sirens screeching, to attack shipping off the coast. There’s a momentary miscalculation – and a Hurricane collides with a 109, slicing it in half. The stricken fighters spiral to the ground as above them RAF and Luftwaffe pilots, twisting and turning in a desperate mass dogfight, battle on regardless. This is the Battle of Britain, fought not in 1940 but in the present day – and at a...
