• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

An FBI SWAT team raided the home of an activist mother of three in Colorado on Tuesday, Nov. 16, knocking down her door, bursting into the house and handcuffing her while she was homeschooling her children.

This is the first known case of the federal government making good on its promise to not only intimidate but actually carry out a raid on a mom who was involved in her local school board politics, said Brannon Howse, who interviewed Sheronna Bishop on his live broadcast at Lindell TV

Wednesday night. Sheronna broke the story on Lindell-TV an hour earlier on the Lindell Report with host Mike Lindell and co-host Brannon Howse. Howse invited Sheronna to stay over for another thirty minutes and go deeper into her story on his live broadcast.

"I was on the [FBI] SWAT team for several years," said Brian Shepard, appearing with three other retired FBI agents at a symposium aired by WVW TV on Nov. 16. "And I can tell you from my experience, and I think all others of the bureau agents here would echo what I'm going to say. We never conducted a search or conducted an arrest of someone who was not a violent offender. And the thought when I heard about what happened with Roger Stone, just outraged me so much that, it just rose up inside me."
 
Mandate already causing problems for defense contractors.

Employees are staging protests and walkouts in response to the federal mandate, which requires all government contractors to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Jan. 4. Unlike private employers covered by the Biden mandate, federal contractors haven’t been given the option to test workers weekly for COVID-19, and the recent OSHA enforcement suspension does not apply to them.

As the deadline approaches, major defense companies expect to see employees quit rather than be vaccinated. Losing this human capital will, in turn, cause delays in time-sensitive defense programs at a time when the country can least afford them. On-time delivery of items such as F-35 fighter jets and the Columbia-class submarine is crucial in the U.S.’s competition with China.

The subject was popular in companies’ recent quarterly earnings calls. Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes said the company is “expecting some level of disruption, some level of challenge in the supply chain.” He told CNBC that the company expects to lose “several thousand” of its 125,000 employees.

The vaccine mandate “has not been well received by a pretty sizable portion of our employees,” Textron CEO Scott Donnelly reported. “There’s no question that we’re going to lose some employees because of this,” he added.

Losing a sizable chunk of the workforce would disrupt any industry, but defense manufacturing is particularly vulnerable. The labor market for the highly skilled – and highly specialized – manufacturing done in our nation’s shipyards, munitions plants, and the rest of the industrial base is a very tight and often fragile market.

Taking these trends into account, a recent Defense Department report found that gaps in U.S.-based human capital are a major risk factor for several defense industry sectors: ground systems, machine tools, missiles and munitions, shipbuilding, software engineering, space, and the organic (or government-owned) industrial base.

When highly skilled employees in these sectors quit over the vaccine mandate, it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to replace them. This will be a problem for the largest prime contractors but will be especially difficult for smaller subcontractors since small and mid-sized companies do not have the hiring resources, training programs, and other tools that the largest companies use to attract new hires.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Defense firms have been open for business throughout the pandemic, even during state and local shutdowns, because they were considered part of U.S. “critical infrastructure.” All that time, they have followed safety protocols, requiring that employees wear masks and maintain social distancing in the workplace.

All These Patriots Need to Start Their Own Companies

Here's a feel good story to share. Needed to get an ice maker repaired in a refrigerator so I searched online for reviews of appliance repair companies. Search returned your standard fare of Yelp and Angi top 10 type of reviews. I scanned the list and noticed one ranked around 5th or so named Patriot Appliance Repair so naturally reached out to them. Dude shows up at my house with his truck shrink wrapped in the American Flag, God Bless America on the back window of the truck, red white and blue pants and a shirt with an American Flag background with the preamble to the Constitution on it. He did a bang up job on the repair and hung out for about 20 minutes after he was done and we shot the shit on the current state of affairs. I told him about this site. Let's see if he shows up. The manner in which he spoke, I would have suspected he's been with us in this thread for years.

Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.) on Thursday announced he will not run for a 10th term in Congress next year, pointing to what he alleged was a “racially gerrymandered” map created by North Carolina's GOP-led legislature as a factor in his decision.

Butterfield, who has served North Carolina’s 1st Congressional District for nearly 18 years, announced his retirement in a video posted to Twitter, in which he knocked the Republican Party for placing “party politics” above the “best interests” of North Carolina residents.

“The map that was recently enacted by the legislature is a partisan map. It's racially gerrymandered. It will disadvantage African American communities all across the first congressional district,” Butterfield said in the video.

“I am disappointed, terribly disappointed with the Republican majority legislature for again gerrymandering our state's congressional districts and putting their party politics over the best interests of North Carolinians,” he added.

Sounds to me like gop led legislature is putting best interests over party politics. Nobody is better off with the democrats policies. Especially those they pretend to help the most.

These issues are deliberate and originate in China. They have OBiden by his puss and are systematically telling him how to destroy the US's economy as well as a world power. The Chinese own many of the ports around the world that are having supply chain issues. Wonder if there is a coincidence? OBiden is simply doing what he is told. The tool he's using is a virus. However, it seems like many of these courts have seen their balls descend to proper alignment since last November. Even they know there are fundamentals vastly more important at stake than they were told and coerced into believing last November. Is it going to take some judge or juror to get maimed or killed before unbiased law enforcement and economic sanity returns? You hope it doesn't lead to this happening but sadly it may take something like that to jar the conscience of the country.

We can only pray that it does not take a great deal more than that to awaken this country. I fear it is too late already. China is prepared to destroy us quickly and they are getting all the help they need from Biden and all the other swamp critters of the Uniparty.
I fear we will have to revert to the mindset of 1776 and take it into our own hands to overthrow the tyranny. I pray to God that we have it within us to do so.

Isn't this exactly what the dems are doing in California and New York? It was a common practice in the democrat Texas Legislature from 1845 until 1976-77 when Texas changed to the GOP. Elections have consequences.

'Jump-Kick Man' Identified as Career Criminal With an Open Domestic Violence Charge.

The Daily Mail doing actual reporting the mainstream media won't do.....I'm shocked to find out yet another one has a lengthy criminal record!

pjimage-2021-11-16T223202.874.jpg



EXCLUSIVE: 'Jump-kick man' who was filmed kicking Kyle Rittenhouse in the head before the teen shot at him is revealed as a career criminal with an open domestic violence charge for 'throwing his girlfriend to the ground and attacking her'

A career criminal and convicted felon with an open domestic violence charge has claimed to be the unidentified male at whom Kyle Rittenhouse shot twice at close range but missed, on the night of August 25, 2020.

Rittenhouse has been charged with First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety of the man known in trial only as 'jump-kick man,' for the flying kick he took at the teenager's head as Rittenhouse was attacked minutes after he shot Joseph Rosenbaum dead.

Now Maurice Freeland, 39, has admitted that he was the one who kicked Rittenhouse in the head and narrowly avoided being shot as a result, after the then 17-year-old stumbled to the ground as he attempted to flee.



Now it has emerged that the same is true of 'jump-kick man' who was on bond that night for an alleged assault on his girlfriend that included kicking her in the ribcage having thrown her to the floor.

Freeland made his claim to being the 'unidentified complainant,' in the second of the five counts over which the jury is currently deliberating, to local news website Wisconsin Right Now.

WISN 1130 talk radio host Dan O'Donnell broke the story that prosecutors had identified the man Tuesday, but did not name him.

It is not known when the state learned Freeland's identity, but it has been confirmed that he had wanted immunity before he would testify, and that Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger would not grant it.

Now DailyMail.com can reveal that the man he painted a hero was out on bond having been charged with Battery Domestic Abuse, Criminal Damage to Property Domestic Abuse and Disorderly Conduct Domestic Abuse for an incident that took place on March 23, 2020.

Court records obtained by DailyMail.com detail the night in question – a night during which Freeland and his partner Monalisa N McDuffie had both been drinking.

Police responded to a call about 'family trouble,' at approximately 12.19am.

McDuffie told officers that she taken Freeland's car keys early that evening 'believing neither [she nor he] were in a state that was safe to drive in.' Freeland 'became angry,' and, after a friend had driven them home, he became violent.

According to the criminal complaint, 'Maurice began to yell…and punched the drywall in multiple spots. The two began to 'tussle' and while this was occurring, Monalisa reported Maurice punched her three times in her chest, causing her pain.'

McDuffie told police that Freeland 'threw her to the ground and kicked her in her lower right ribcage…then began punching the television.'

She fled out of the back door, dropping her phone as she ran. She told police that as she did so Freeland 'yelled something to the effect of, 'you better run bitch, I'll kill you.'

Officers found 'fist-sized' holes in the drywall, blood on Freeland's knuckles and dried blood around the collar of McDuffie's shirt which 'appeared to be stretched out.'

It is just one of several open cases against Freeland whose record in Kenosha County spans 25 charges across more than 20 years in Kenosha County and includes acts of criminal violence, destruction of property, possession of controlled substances, traffic offenses, family court violations and escape from custody.

Some of you might remember this, NBC News had one of their news magazines (Dateline iirc) do a piece on how Chevrolet trucks could explode if the gas tank ruptured. In order to make sure the truck caught fire like they wanted, they rigged explosives to the truck and tried to pass it off as occurring on its own.

Of course, it's not just NBC News. Many of you will no doubt remember Dan Rather and his CBS News cohorts creating fake PDFs to try to impact the 2004 elections. PDF's that were so bad any regular person with Adobe could pull up, zoom in, and see they were faked. Not only are they crooked and stupid, they always believed that we were too stupid to see through them.

Now, they don't even care if we can see right through them. You literally can't believe anything the corporate media tells you. They're not only liars, they're terrible at it. There's no one but us to hold them accountable. Thank God we still have outlets like TFSF and other places to talk. One day they're going to pull the plug on everything, this site, social media, even what we think of as "safe" sites, we better be ready to counter when that day comes.
