    How to Defeat Mail-in-Voting Part IIBy J. JohnsonMuch has transpired since our first entry on how to defeat mail-in-voting. Recent primaries in New Jersey and New York, as well as confirmed concerns over the U.S. mail system overall demonstrate the flaws in the vote-by-mail-only concept. In this edition, we will cover these issues, what to expect in the coming days, and a pro-active response.New York:The local NBC affiliate in New York City reported the final vote count for the June 23 primary this year may be in by August due to “…a tidal wave of absentee ballots that overwhelmed a...

    I've been a member here since 2009 and over the years I've made an observation of my own. It's not scientific and it's not anything other than my own personal anecdotal observation. It seems that if we will see someone start to post negative comments about a conservative or conservatives in general these posters tend to have been on FR for more than a year but less than two years. There's the obvious trolls who sign up and get zotted in their first week or so. But these folks are what I would call 'sleepers'. They know how FR culture...
  • Of all tyrannies.... (C.S. Lewis quote)

    “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult....

    My husband and I were at the Truman VA hospital in Columbia, Missouri for testing regarding exposure to harmful chemicals at a site he worked at in Iraq. He had been exposed to chemicals that were carcinogens during one of his trips in Iraq and he was being tested for cancer-causing agents in his lungs. I was trying to get back down to the ground floor. There were no windows, and the upstairs floor seemed to wind around. I could not find the elevator or stairs. I started to feel claustrophobic as I had been locked in a basement as...

    If the United States has not certified a new President by Jan. 20, 2021, what happens??? (This Presidential term expires 12:01 PM on that day.) Someone has opined that the Order of Presidential Succession takes over, and the Speaker of the House becomes President. 1) Is this true, Constitution scholars? and 2) If (1) is correct, don't we have pretty conclusive evidence that the DeepState and Nazzi Peesloosley will stop at NOTHING to get Mr. Trump out of the way? A vote-by-mail boosted turnout ~10% larger than the previous years ought to trigger extensive challenges to the results for any...

  • Why is $1.75 billion in the stimulus bill to build a new FBI building?

    08/02/2020 8:57:20 PM PDT · by Cedar · 49 replies
    Please excuse a vanity post...but does anyone know why $1.75 billion for a new FBI building is included in the Senate's stimulus/corona virus bill? From reading online news, apparently this funding was included by the Administration and not by GOP Senators. President Trump has done and continues to do many GREAT things for our country. But I don't think this FBI building fund should be in the HEALS legislation. Maybe someone here can give a really good reason for putting it in the corona bill.

    If your business is dependent on big tech it would be a good idea to at the very least duplicate everything you do on safe platforms and always have copies of your content. Gmail closed an emmail account I was using to write a book about craigs list, years of research gone, they said I was a spammer account, denied my appeal. 2 years ago a conservative product page with 300,000 fans was deleted, they sold coffee, took their money to promote their page, in 2 seconds all gone. Now it is way worse, they are out to destroy and...

  • Tik Tok -- Trump Banning Tik Tok could cost him the election.

    08/01/2020 7:16:11 AM PDT · by GulfMan · 86 replies
    On Fox News there is a story stating that Trump is going to "Ban" Tik Tok today. If he does he is making a terrible mistake. Tik Tik isn't spy ware, it's the only social media platform in the US where there is truly "Free Speech'. The Trump Message and his followers are huge on Tik Tok, and people are waking up to the truth all the time on Tik Tok. Most of you probably are unfamiliar with Tik Tok, it's way more than just "hotties", not that there's anything wrong with that. It is truly the Trump Movement of...
