Got to hand it to them they're on a roll. So far this year they have passed: - Budget busting Omnibus - 100 billion of foreign aid despite half the U.S. vehemently against it. - Warrantless wiretapping renewed for another 2 years despite being caught using it against a sitting president. - TikTok Ban, an App enjoyed by 140+ million American users and likely unconstitutional. They have managed to get this through a divided House and Senate to their puppets desk. Remarkable isn't it ! And yet the news claims "bipartisanship" in Washington DC is rare. Well, the secret is...

On Good Friday, March 29, 2024, I I cut my hand and had to go to the nearby Urgent Care her in Phoenix. They stitched up my hand and scheduled me to come back in a couple of weeks to get the stitches removed. When I went back, the Urgent Care center got masky in the meantime. I told them I would wait outside, and "You do know that the studies now show that the masks don't do anything useful." When I came in, I did put the mask on over my mouth, but not my nose. When I was...

I’m sitting here re-charging my RV battery bank. Just messing around seeing how this stuff works. One trend is RV manufacturers now furnish 12 volt DC powered refrigerators. Even the small units pull 10 amps, on hot days I can see 40 amps or so daily would be routine. Using a generator and the installed RV converter, it needs re-charging often, and while the performance is good, it is what it is. A propane powered refrigerator, on the other hand, will run for a month on a standard 20 pound barbecue tank. Out in the desert, water looms critical when...

I know that unions are traditionally associated with democrats and I was hoping to get some opinions on whats currently going down in Huntsville "Rocket City", Alabama right now. The IAM is passing out fliers and picketing with signs at Blue Origins 1100 Explorer Blvd Rocket Engine plant trying to get employees signatures. Personally, I'm against it and was just wondering how people here my feel on the topic.

Israel has a national debt of $310 Billion owed by its 9.6 million citizens. Individually, each Israeli citizen’s share is $32,291. The U.S. has a national debt of $34 Trillion owed by 334 million citizens. Individually, each U.S. citizen’s share is $101,796. All politics aside, why am I, you, each of our children and grandchildren borrowing money to give to Israel when each of us already carries a debt burden three times that of each Israeli citizen?

i have a recurring surmise that melania could potentially be a much bigger political asset to DJT in the 2024 presidential election than she currently appears to be (log cabin republicans? how many of those are there btw??). before dismissing it altogether, give it a chance. melania checks two or three big boxes that her husband does not-- consider: women, immigrants, catholics. melania also provide an eastern european perspective which might even be deployed against the ukranian war funding. trump's achilles heel if he has one (and discounting ever present massive vote fraud, which is beyond this scope) is the...

Does anyone remember on 2016 election night around the time it began to look like Trump winning Nate silver was on TV somewhere and he commented on the Midwest. He said something like: If Trump is winning Ohio and Iowa by 4 or 5 points it means it is likely he could win Wisconsin Pennsylvania and Michigan as the voters are all similar. He made it sound statistically baked in as a rule that could generally be counted on. Imagine applying that statement to Ohio and Iowa in 2020. If anyone can find the clip I think it would be...

The establishment Republicans are sustaining the Ukrainian war till after the election. They are doing so to support Joe Biden getting elected. If they followed common sense, they would realize that throwing money at Ukraine will do noting to win the war. The war is already lost for Ukraine. What it will do is sustain the war till after the election of Joe Biden. Joe Biden can say he stayed the course, he was true to his word. What these traitors have done: 1) Sided with Joe Biden instead of Donald Trump 2) Thrown away American money on a pipe...

I'm hoping other Freepers can help. Some people I know and love have fallen under the influence of a guy named Phil Godlewski. They believe pretty much everything he says. They talk a lot about NESARA, GESARA, the fiat dollar, etc. Apparently Phil is advising people to take their money out of the bank and invest it in precious metal IRAs. He hawks some of these IRAs himself, so he has a financial self interest in telling people to do so. There are lots of people listening to him and falling under his sway. Something doesn't sit right with me...

ROTFLMAO!!!

"No person shall serve as President more than 2 consecutive terms (plus less than the final 2 years of the preceding president's term due to death, incapacitation or resignation for a total of 10 consecutive years.) AND ....no person shall serve as president more than 4 terms."

Sorry for another post but I'm praying that Tehran has made its point and that is it for now. They have bombarded Israel but have failed to really hurt or harm them. The BBC even show bars are open in Jerusalem. Do not be alarmed. Do not panic on here. I'm hoping that this does not escalate despite the unprecedented nature of the attack. How do Freepers see this playing out?

So our FRiend Mark Levin is in Israel as its being bombarded with drones and missiles by Iran. (Please Pray for Peace)Kudos to him for being there as some of us have in the past accused him of being a chickenhawk. I'm looking forward to his reports actually if he does any. Life goes on there. I just saw on the BBC bars etc. are open. But I was wondering what Freepers thought of the dual loyalty question ? Mark could become an Israeli citizen if he so wanted and younger Jewish people often volunteer and fight in their military...

One of my walking trails is right by the police station in Brookfield, CT. The parking lot for the police station abuts the parking lot for the walking trail (by the Still River which often floods into the trail). Once in a while after a walk, I get in my car and leave the walking trail to head home and immediately a police vehicle, evidently going on shift, leaves their own parking lot and slides in behind me. What to do in this situation? The roads leading back home are in either 25mph or 30mph speed zones. Ridiculously low speed...

Reporting from Western New York: gas price at my local gas station jumped $0.13 in the last 24 hours. I've never seen a hike that fast. Is anyone else seeing the same thing? I already see gold prices shooting up. Is this gas price? Starting to catch up to it now?

The Tyranny of Good Intentions In AD 2000 Paul Craig Roberts and Lawrence M. Stratton published “The Tyranny of Good Intentions” about How Prosecutors and Law Enforcement Are Trampling the Constitution in the Name of Justice . “What are we to do if those chasing devils decide to chase after us.” Sir Thomas More The Tyranny of Good Intentions, Paul Craig Roberts and Lawrence M. Stratton renew their valiant campaign to reclaim that which is rightly ours–liberty protected by the rule of law. They show how crusading legislators and unfair prosecutors are remaking American law into a weapon wielded...

I received an e-mail stating radical anti- Palestine activists were showing up at the Annual Capitol Township meeting. IT STATED:: As your elected Sangamon County Clerk, I am privileged to also serve as the Clerk of Capital Township. I am writing to make you aware of the annual township meeting next week and urge Capital Township Republicans to attend. A radical group of citizens is proposing an advisory ballot question that insults and threatens our country's longstanding friendship and alliance with Israel. The question asks, "Shall the United States federal government and subordinate divisions stop giving military funding to Israel,...

Just wondering.
