And for those who wish that he had vetoed it, need to realize what kind of all out HELL the MSM and all of those in Congress, not to mention the general public who hate him anyway would have made of that; not to mention a dilapidated/decimated/underfunded already military shambles that would have left this nation with.

We don't live in a dictatorship, nobody in D.C. would stand for what Obama got away with, if Trump followed suit/emulated him, and whilst we don't like most of the things we have been told are in this Bill, a Veto ( which would have been over ridden ! ) was the worst option; like it or not.

As Vice President Pence reminded us, we need to elect more conservatives. That’s only we’ll get the government we want - and need.

Getting mad at President Trump accomplishes nothing. And Pelosi and Schumer will give us lots more than another omnibus - they will take away our freedoms.

Let’s keep our focus and fire where it belongs - on the Democrats and turncoat squishes in the GOP and send conservatives to Washington.

The fate of our country depends upon it.

That's opening the door to a Dem take over, impeachment and a Senate where, for the first time EVER, an impeached president WILL be thrown out of office; you can take that to the bank!

Bullsh!t. Stop engaging in propaganda!

The real situation is this: you shouldn’t criticize Trump on this bill and additionally declare yourself a #NeverTrumper!

And saying that you no longer support the President (moving forward) is tantamount to declaring yourself a #NeverTrumper, understood?

I'm glad we could have this talk. If you still support President Trump, I daresay you're welcome on FR.

If instead you b-tch, moan, groan, and—like a #NeverTrump troll—snottily announce that you no longer can support the President, then you may find the welcome mat yanked out from under you.

So "don't be a scum-sucking #NeverTrumper who doesn't support the President moving forward" would be my heartfelt advice to you.

This has been the clear paradigm since before November of 2016. Nothing has changed regarding the site policing guidelines, as far as I'm aware—written and unwritten—and I'd suggest that you don't push the envelope.

Personally, I think that JimRob does an exemplary job at keeping this forum focused. I wholeheartedly endorse his judgement. And supporting President Trump—especially against the backdrop on a pervasive, ongoing Deep State coup attempt—remains an integral part of that focus.

If you aren't on board with that, to the point where you no longer support the President, then—with all due respect—step off!

Disagreeing with individual decisions made by the President is fine. Doing so to the point of dropping your support for him—that is, being a #NeverTrump troll—is categorically not fine.

There are plenty of sites you can go to to indulge in #NeverTrump masturbation. FR isn't one of them...

So if you’re a thief, murderer, rapist, or shacking up with the same sex, God loves you anyway but wouldn’t tolerate such behavior. Rogers sounds like he caught the same disease killing the old mainstream Protestant churches....Cafeteria Christianity."

I respectfully disagree.

You, me or anybody on the Earth is completely unaware of how God will judge others....we can guess. We can even hope that God judges some men very harshly. But before we wish that on anybody else I think we should look into our souls first and see what we truly are.

Liar, thief, adulterer, murderer, coward, hypocrite, fornicator, blasphemer, are just a small number of sins that I may have committed.

Do I find proud or hypocritical men disgusting? Yeah.... because I'm one of those men. ........ we all are.

I think that Mr. Rogers may have been on the public dole for too long, but he was harmless. It sounds like he was trying to let the people that were less than perfect realize that God's kingdom is open to all of us. That our repentance and coming to him can be made from any sinner. That we are all sinners and that only through the greatest gift we can receive will we be forgiven and allowed to be given a small chance to be in his glory.

I think God loves you just the way you are. He loves all of us. Even the most vile, disgusting and twisted among us......but just because he loves us, doesn't mean we'll all be saved. I think it means that we all have the opportunity to accept his gift of grace.

Of course that's just my opinion....and I could be wrong....for my sake I hope I'm not.

quote:

"...TB disproportionately affects foreign-born New Yorkers — accounting for 86 percent of all cases in the city.

Many of the infected city residents came from China, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, India or Mexico..."

And the areas most infected by TB in NYC exactly correspond to the areas where these diseased illegals live. Flushing = Chinese, Sunset Park = Hispanic, western Queens is a mixture. NOW YOU SEE WHY WE NEED THE WALL---do we need to have active TB carriers in our midst? Do you want your kids to sit in a classroom filled with active TB cases? I well remember getting notices from the school nurse, WELL into the semester, warning me not to let So & So into my class because they lacked required vaccinations. They had been allowed to sit in the class next to the other kids plenty long enough for them to have infected everyone. Why the school nurse waited months to send out this notice was always beyond me.

Note that the foreign-born make up 37% of NYC, so while 87% of TB cases (if true) is disproportionate, it's by a factor of 2, not 10.


Hey Freep, good call, maybe we need better public health services and to make sure we steer vulnerable populations to said services?


As a minor side-note, while Mexico does have a higher overall TB rate than the US, Mexico also has higher *vaccination* rates for many diseases, particularly measles where Americans have slipped to 92% coverage and Mexico is at 99% coverage.

This is actually kinda interesting analysis. Can anyone recommend any news articles on why the show is doing well, if it's meeting some unmet need in popular culture?

I assume that was a rhetorical question; but, I’ll answer it regardless.

The left side of the market is saturated with programmng choices, while the shelves are bare on the right side. A quality show, with a rightward tilt, has few competitors.

It was called Last Man Standing, and it was basically one long series of freep fantasies tied together with a laugh track because not a single one of the "jokes" were even remotely funny. It was all punching down about how terrible and stupid and naive young people/Liberals are and how conservatives are fighting a losing war to save society from being overwhelmed from selfish/spoiled morons. This brief clip from the series finale really tells you literally everything you need to know about the show:

More and more reason to support Arpaio on his path to becoming a US Senator.

There, he will have a voice, a platform and the power to expose Obama.

I am afraid you are correct. What tends to happen in politics is that two good, but relatively unknown candidates split the vote, giving the better known but not electable candidate the win.

There is no reason to resurrect the thing about Obama’s birth certificate. He simply does not have a United States birth certificate. If he had one, he would not have spent the money he spent to keep from showing it. Everybody knows he violated the Constitution, including the democrats. Remember before the 2008 election when they were all saying ‘it would be a shame if he were kept out of the Presidency on a technicality’?

The Left probably spent at least 100 Million in dark money to take down Judge Roy Moore. They will do the same no matter who wins the primary in Arizona. But Judge Roy Moore was not a "bad" candidate. He was extremely popular. They just outspent him. I would say Moore was more popular in Alabama then all three AZ primary Republican candidates put together in Arizona.

Dr. Ward would be the best candidate but whoever wins will face a gigantic multi-million dollar hate-storm from the left. I don't know if any of the three can withstand it.

>>Obama would be a native-born US citizen...

I’ve been trying to tell people this for a number of years. That doesn’t mean there aren’t legit questions about the BC produced but it isn’t relevent to his standing to run for President. He should have been defeated on many other grounds, but not eligibility.

His mom enrolled in college (no online enrollment in 1961, or 91 for that matter) and was seen at Washington state with a baby less than 2 weeks after the alleged birth date. I think the best GUESS (and that’s all it is) is that there was something nefarious about Obama’s citizenship or claimed status at some point in his life that he’s managed to cover up exceedingly well.

OR, things could be as he’s said they are and he’s simply giving an FU to anyone questioning things. People need to concede that there is a very high probability that this is the case. His mom WAS in Hawaii; she had a baby somewhere near his purported birth date; and the likelihood of the birth being in Kenya — or really any place other than Hawaii, Washington state, or Canada is virtually zero.

I’m glad President Trump pardoned Sheriff Joe who helped Trump during the Arizona Primary in 2016, but not glad that Joe is running for US Senate because he is a pawn of the powerful elites that run our political system.

By the way, when does President Trump pardon someone else who helped in 2016 as co-chair of the New Hampshire Veterans Coalition for Trump during the New Hampshire Primary.

Jerry DeLemus is jailed in connection with the Bunkerville Standoff protest near Bundy Ranch in 2014. Set him free Mr. President.
