OK, this is my 10,000th post here so I can't just waste it on some lame political or sports comment so I came up with this.
As we approach what will once again be another year on the Gregorian calendar as this tired old planet continues to spin its way through the solar system on its endless...
Happy holidays to all, regardless of culture, race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion or politics. Here's wishing all the best for a healthy, happy and prosperous 2018 to all my friends and detractors here on FreeOnes!
Holy **** this will blow the lid off of college basketball and perhaps the entire NCAA as well!! Some high-profile coaches, including Rick Pitino, will likely be fired in short order. Plus, another scandal for my beloved Hurricanes, although at least this time it ain't the football...
My point here is to illustrate the incredible disconnect within the Trump administration. Our President calls the Russian investigation a "hoax" while the very agency that works directly for him verifies it. The dude is truly a snake oil peddler and his hard-core base just continues to buy it...
I assume we'll be hearing the President call for his ***-in-law to be locked up in jail....I mean, since he is so fair in his approach to such issues. I can already hear the chants at his Nuremberg-style rallies that he loves so much....
"LOCK HIM UP....LOCK HIM UP....LOCK HIM UP!!!"...
Bob Mueller's Russia investigation has shifted into a different gear with this bombshell that dropped last night.

This is getting awfully close to the president, folks.

Looks like San Juan is in big, big trouble. San Juan's barrio is one of the worst and biggest I have ever seen. If Maria scores a direct hit there, the devastation will be incredible...
There was never a better time or reason to boycott Facebook. Greed apparently continues to have zero conscience (which is one of the most serious flaws with the capitalist system in my view).
I personally never liked that weasely little fuck Zuckerberg anyway so this is just further...
My old hometown is fast becoming the very acute epicenter of the serious racial divide that is presently consuming our nation. I am not completely familiar with all aspects of this case or what the judge's justifications for the ruling were but it would seem at first glance to be a serious...
For her tweets that called President Trump a "white supremacist"? I say "yes" she should....and so does the White House.

The SCOTUS has voted to uphold President Trump's travel ban on refugees seeking asylum in the US. The ban affects six predominantly Muslim countries: Iraq, Iran, Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Yemen. The single-page decision was issued without comment and there was no initial indication regarding...

Right now this thing is just a tropical depression but, having experienced Tropical Storm Allison in 2001, I have a really bad feeling about Harvey. Tropical storms can be much worse than hurricanes in that they tend to move very slowly and dump tremendous amounts of rain on inland areas in the...
It's becoming obvious to more and more who are involved at various levels of the establishment that this president is mentally unstable and therefore unfit for the job.

Be sure to watch the video. It's...
To use a pivot tactic that is all-to-frequently employed by those on the right to divert attention to the Trumpster fire that is currently ablaze in the White House, if this were Obama those same people would be screaming ****** ****** over this. As it is, I'm sure they will offer a compelling...
Trump's presidential advisory panels have disintegrated in the aftermath of his despicable comments last week in defense of those who marched with white supremacists and now many events previously scheduled at his Mar-a-Lago resort are being cancelled at an alarming rate...
....calls for Trump to recant and seal up this canker sore he created. His stubborn, ego-driven refusal to admit he is capable of making a mistake is ripping the nation apart. Pride....one of the seven deadlies. We are so fucked with this guy. :facepalm...
Anybody else watching this series on FX? Reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes seem to be lukewarm about it due to its complexity and only give it a 59% score but the viewers seem to love it and rate it at 82%. I agree with the viewers and would highly recommend it. Check it out here if you are so...
And, please, no whining about the first amendment. They were shut down for ********* GoDaddy's terms of service.

By his continued silence on the matter after a tepid and ambiguous statement about the sickening and tragic events that took place in Charlottesville on Saturday, President Trump and anyone who continues to support his policies can be considered to be tolerant of racism and **** and they are...
I recently stumbled across this guy on Facebook. His artwork is so reminiscent of the stuff that Robert Crumb, S. Clay Wilson et al did for Zap Comix back in the late '60s/early '70s that it is amazing! In April, he won a "Webby" for his work on Moby's music vid Are You Lost in the World Like...
I've been wanting to post this ever since I came back to the forum but haven't had the gumption or time until now so here goes. It's a little involved but I need to get this off my chest so I don't even care if y'all read it. I just need to write it so please humor me.
I dearly love my...
I sure am! This is indeed a fix for jonesing Breaking Bad addicts! On Netflix....if you have it, I strongly urge you to check out the first season. It blew me away and can't wait for season 2!!

This quadrennial event starts tomorrow and I can't wait! Team Canada is favored to win it all but there are some terrific teams involved. It's a round robin tournament and all games will be played at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. Team USA is led by Patrick Kane and some really outstanding...
I was passing through this very interesting small town yesterday. Bucksnort, Tn....USA. Off I-40 between Nashville and Memphis. Not sure what prompted the city fathers to name it as such but they did. Any weird names of towns you have come across?
....at the world economic summit in St. Petersburg (Russia, not Florida!).
This is fascinating if you're a geopolitical junkie like I am. Anyway, to hear him tell it, America and Obama are imperial aggressors. Maybe we are. Guess it depends on your viewpoint, huh? Who knows what is really...
He also had a distinguished college career at Northwestern & Stanford. Always liked his style. 67 is way too young. R.I.P. Denny. You were who we thought you were.

Holy **** is it hot here!!! 97 degrees F in the town where I live today and, considering the incredible amount of rainfall we've had that caused all the flooding in the Houston area in recent weeks which has saturated the ground and the air, it is absolutely unbearable from a heat and humidity...
College baseball doesn't get the same press coverage that either football or basketball but I can tell you right now that it is every bit as thrilling to watch as any sport at any level. Wow....some real surprises in the Super-regionals knocked 7 of the top 10 teams in the NCAA out of...
So the Pens win their 4th Stanley Cup. Congrats to them. Hot-diggity dog for them. So, now what? What do you see regarding your team's needs and possible moves in the off-season to become more competitive? Hitch is coming back and it's obvious to me that the Blues need another big scoring...
Quite arguably the second-greatest player ever to lace up the skates. Inventor of the Gordie Howe hat-trick....a goal, an assist and a fight. We'll miss you, Mr. Hockey. R.I.P. Gordie.....

He predicted that he would die on his birthday and he did. I'm so very sad to lose another icon of my younger days. There is no greater influence on the development of the "outlaw" country music sub-genre that proliferated in the 1980s along with other artists such as Waylon Jennings, Willie...
Contemporary figures just keep on passing away. R.I. P. Gary....you will be missed.

Perhaps the most unheralded part of the genius that was the Beatles has ****** away. Sir George Martin, who signed the musical group to their first record deal and was in charge of production on every single one of their albums except Let it Be, died on Tuesday at the age of 90. His influence...
Anybody else not feeling quite so sorry for her tonight? I mean, what this dude did was a serious ********* of her civil right to privacy and I think the dude is a fucking douchebag for sure and I suppose that Marriott bears some responsibility (for sure) and needs to do more to prevent this...
As has been so vividly pointed out by some on this forum in recent days, I am one of the most senior members on this (ahem!) illustrious board. Aside from the obvious common interest in porn, I'm not totally certain I have a whole lot in common with the majority of current members here. As a...
The Cardinals pitches and catchers begin spring training workouts a month from today! It's always a good sign when baseball season is right around the corner!!

Damn.....this kind of **** just keeps hitting closer to home with every contemporary rock icon of mine who passes away. Makes me realize my own mortality and its constant inevitability when these artists I grew up with are suddenly no longer with us. There's another vacancy at the Hotel...
This is sickening. A Harris County (Houston, TX area) deputy was filling up his cruiser at a Chevron station last night when some fucking asshole just walked up and shot him multiple times execution-style, ******* him. There is an intense manhunt in northwest Harris County going on right now...
Say what you will about the results of his single-term presidency which featured many negative manifestations, like runaway interest rates and the Iranian hostage situation, but Jimmy Carter has undoubtedly been the best ex-president in American history. His devotion and willingness to continue...
I personally have delighted in following Trump's campaign so far....and not solely because I see him as the inevitable demise of the GOP. He's ******** frank in expressing his views....I find that refreshing from the typical rhetoric that we hear from candidates in the primary season. Although...
This apparently happened at some IHOP in California. This xenophobic and bigoted old bitch butts into a private conversation taking place between an Hispanic woman and her ****** members and tells her that she needs to speak English if she wants to live in the USA. Sadly, there are plenty of...
No, I'm not talking about any historical issues regarding Turks and Armenians. I refer to the recent agreement between Turkey and the USA that will allow us to fly airstrike missions against ISIS from Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, a strategically-located facility that is very close to the...
