Free Republic

I have searched everywhere to find the answer to a burning question: Can RBG vote from her hospital bed. How do we know it is her voting?? Congressmen have to be physically present to vote. I would think the same would hold true for the Supreme Justices. Or at least be present for the hearing. Does anyone of you have an answer??

I have the opportunity to make some donations this year that I wouldn't normally be able to do. I'm interested in the Wounded Warrior Project but I have read conflicting information about it. Asking for any input about this charity from those who know.

Merry Christmas to all FReepers, Lurkers, friends, family, patriots and all. Special prayers for those away from home and family or otherwise alone tonight. Jesus loves us all and is always there. Place your trust in God and keep the faith. God bless.

As I have watched MSM and especially FOX it appears they have all turned anti Trump and present increasingly negative remarks, people and predictions. Several republicans are posturing for a primary challenging position opposing Trump for the nomination for 2020. Linda Gram and Rubio have joined Flake. I am still waiting for Mittens to pair up with Ryano again and at least be critical of Trump if not run in the primary again. Many republicans smell blood in the water around the WALL.

George Soros, the billionaire Democratic donor who has become a lightning rod for criticism from conservatives, including President Trump, was named “Person of the Year” by the Financial Times on Wednesday.

Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a bill to move California's primary elections in 2020 to the beginning of March, three months ahead of when they were held in 2016.

I never thought that I would say this in my life, but Miley has surpassed Yoko in fingernails on a blackboard, dogs barking in pain, in a performance.

Crickets from Washington Zzzzzzz

From an article in the Washington Post the other day: Tucker Carlson says Trump is ‘not capable’ and hasn’t kept his promises washingtonpost.com ^ | December 6, 2018 | Deanna Paul ***************** Vanity: "Carlson said he cannot stand Trump’s self-aggrandizement and boasting.' ______________________ Speaking as one who will vote for and heavily support DJT in the future, one thing must be said. The President will have a much more difficult time winning a second term if he doesn't make some adjustments that are addressed in the quoted remark above. His never ending BOASTING is losing him millions of votes. To...

Just heard them report that the France shooter "shouted 'God is Great' in Arabic" on Fox News radio.

Listen on YouTubeDemocratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Tom Perez on Wednesday complained that voters are influenced by what they hear in church on Sundays.  Perez claimed that Republicans have an advantage because “people buy” what they hear at church.“And we all have to make sure that we’re fluent in what’s happening across our ecosystem so we can come to each other’s defense because we need to build a bigger orchestra. They’ve had a big orchestra for some time and they’ve got the megaphones to amplify it, whether it’s Sinclair at the local level or Fox at the national level,” Perez...

...Due to the principles of gravity, mass, and the limitations of muscular anatomy in any life form, it would not be possible for any animal weighing more than 20,803 pounds to be able to lift its own weight (Holden, 1994). However, the Brontosaurus is supposed to weigh over 70,000 pounds, and other so-called sauropods are supposed to be many times larger than that. Then there is the issue of neck size - a long necked animal of that size would not even be able to lift its neck. Additionally, their blood pressure would be way too high to be able...

excerpt this because of CNN rules

The Lord of the Rings series has been branded 'racist' by a science fiction writer who claims orcs are discriminated against and written as inferior. American author Andy Duncan said British author JRR Tolkien depicted evil creatures such as orcs as 'worse than others' and said this had 'dire consequences for society'. The criticism comes despite Tolkien being known as a fierce critic of racism, particularly the Nazi Germany regime in the 1930s and 40s.

𝙻𝚎𝚎 𝚂𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚊𝚑𝚊𝚗 ⏳ 𝙻𝚎𝚎 𝚂𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚊𝚑𝚊𝚗 ⏳ @stranahan 25m I was doing a call-in segment about Zionism on Periscope when the phone rang, saying it was my friend @therealroseanne. I was surprised but it's a topic she's interested in so… It was her assistant, saying she'd had a heart attack. This went out live. I don't know her status.

A lot of my fellow journalists are upset that CNN's Jim Acosta was banned from White House press conferences. Not me. I would prefer that all press conferences be restricted to the press, by which I mean the print media. I've been a print journalist since before Acosta entered kindergarten. For the first five years or so of my career I never attended a press conference that included TV and radio people. That made for a much more informative interchange between journalists and politicians. The reporters wanted simply to have their questions answered. The answers could then be incorporated into...

Queens residents are “outraged” at Amazon’s plans to build part of its second headquarters in Long Island City, according to Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Democratic Socialist, who cruised to victory in the midterm elections after beating Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens) in an upset primary win in June, fired off a series of tweets Monday night into Tuesday regarding the blockbuster plans. “We’ve been getting calls and outreach from Queens residents all day about this. The community’s response? Outrage,” Ocasio-Cortez, who officially takes office in January, tweeted. The 29-year-old went on to say: “Amazon is a billion-dollar company. The idea that...

Former first lady Michelle Obama says she took a page out of Laura Bush’s playbook and reached out to Melania Trump to offer advice on the years ahead — and the current FLOTUS ghosted her. “Has (Trump) reached out?” asked ABC anchor Robin Roberts during a sit-down with Obama on Sunday. “No,” said Obama. “No, she hasn’t.” Trump’s communications director, Stephanie Grisham, confirmed the lack of correspondence in a statement to CNN on Monday. “Mrs. Trump is a strong and independent woman who has been navigating her role as First Lady in her own way,” the statement said. “When she...

Macron's comments about nationalism: “Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. By saying our interests first ... we erase what a nation holds dearest, what gives it life, what gives it grace, and what is essential: its moral values." Macron's premise seems to be that loving one's nation and putting its interests first is somehow synonymous with selfishly turning ones back on the rest of the world. Arguably, charitable giving is a valuable index of how much a nation and its people care about the rest of the world. The link is to a...
