Free Republic

I just received my Washing State ballot for the primary. I only recognize one or two names on it. Does anyone know of an American First resource we trust to vet all these people and make recommendations? Something like the Heritage Foundation or the Washing State GOP. There are several races where multiple GOP candidates are running and I have never of any of them. I don't want to vote for the wrong republican or someone who has no chance of wining.

U.S. — In an effort to make identifying the various types of criminals serving in Congress easier, congressional representatives will now hold up little signs to show what sort of criminal they are. "This will make things so much easier," said local man John Hastings. "What a great idea by Representative Tlaib!" According to sources, Representative Tlaib decided to begin holding up a sign to alert everyone that she openly supported the terrorist organization currently holding American citizens hostage. "We all have our various crimes. I'm more the kind when it involves armed violence against the citizens I'm supposed to...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Voters across the nation found themselves with a serious decision to make this November, as the Border Czar responsible for allowing 11 million illegal immigrants to enter the country demanded a promotion. After presiding over a record number of undocumented migrants flooding across the southern U.S. border, Vice President Kamala Harris cited the accomplishment as a prime reason why the American people should put her in charge of the entire country. "I think my resume speaks for itself," Harris told reporters. "I've done things at the border that no one in history ever came close to doing....

The unknown factor is Kamala Harris's primary advantage for now. It doesn’t gloss over that the 2024 Democratic Party ticket is a ratship in total disarray. The unity cited incessantly on MSNBC is a manufactured media narrative where little is grounded in reality. If there is a coalescing around the vice president, these loyal soldiers have no choice but to back her because who else is there? Harris dropped out before the 2020 Iowa Caucuses. No Democratic primary voter has ever voted for her. Again, the lion's share of the party backs her because there is no other choice. Democrats...

Multiple structure fires have been reported in Jasper as crews work to protect critical infrastructure after a wildfire reached the town late Wednesday. Parks Canada confirmed flames from one of two threatening wildfires were being driven by strong winds and reached the southern edge of the townsite around 6:30 p.m. Some images and video posted to social media show buildings fully engulfed in flames in the south part of town. A last minute effort to try and change the fire’s direction to natural barriers, such as Athabasca River and Highway 16, was not successful. Another blaze is moving in towards...

Dad is confronting the teachers in what looks to be a day care pre school. The Child looks to be about 4 or 5 years old. The place had boys in the class dressing in what looked like Disney Princess gowns.

The planet is as cold as ice and orbits far from its star. The observations from JWST of this cold giant planet. Image Credit: T. Müller (MPIA/HdA), E. Matthews (MPIA) ========================================================================== JWST has imaged a new planet directly and it is quite a fascinating object. It orbits one of the three stars in the Epsilon Indi system and it weighs six times the mass of Jupiter. This super-Jupiter is 20 to 40 times further from its star than Earth is from the Sun – so it is very cold. It also doesn't help that the star, Eps Ind A, is...

A Tennessee gas station clerk was allegedly caught on surveillance video stealing a customer’s $1 million-winning lottery ticket — after lying and telling the winner they had lost. The unidentified winner bought two $20 Diamond and Gold scratch-off tickets from 23-year-old staffer Meet Patel at a Shell station in Murfreesboro and handed him back the tickets to check, according to Rutherford County Sheriff’s Department. Patel returned one of the winning tickets along with a $40 prize — while ignoring the fact that the other one had won $1 million, Lt. Detective Steve Craig told News Channel 5. “He threw it...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Democratic leaders have stated that Donald Trump will destroy democracy, and in order to stop him, their party will endorse a candidate who has never received a single vote in a primary election. "Oh, yeah, if Trump gets in the White House, it's all over," stated Gayle Quimble, a staffer for Kamala Harris. "That's why we hand-selected a very special candidate outside the democratic process in order to beat him. Democracy itself depends on it!" When reached for response, Kamala Harris said: "Democracy is important. America is a democracy. It begins with a 'D.' Just like 'doughnut.'...

The other day, I was tooling around at the grocery store and, in line to check out, I noticed a clothes hamper in the shopping cart in front of me. I thought it was pretty nice. I said so to the person pushing the cart.Yes, I know it is awkward to strike up such conversations but I’m glad I did. I quickly found that the shopper was not buying for himself but for a customer of Instacart, an online ordering service. He was working and shopping as a customer himself.Intrigued, I asked other questions. He has a university degree, recently...

If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. This is because lies, by their very nature, have to be changed, and a lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history. On the receiving end you get not only one lie — a lie which you could go on for the rest of your days — but you get a great number of lies, depending on how the political wind blows. And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind....

Physicists at the University of Stuttgart, led by Professor Sebastian Loth, have developed a groundbreaking quantum microscope that can record the movement of electrons at the atomic level with incredibly high spatial and temporal resolution. This new method could significantly advance the way scientists develop materials. Their findings have been published in the journal Nature Physics. “With our new method, we can see things that no one has ever seen before,” says Prof. Loth, the Managing Director of the Institute for Functional Matter and Quantum Technologies at the University of Stuttgart. “This allows us to answer questions about electron movements...

A study involving the University of Otago, Christchurch, has uncovered a significant connection between low vitamin C levels and increased body weight, raising concerns amid the global rise in obesity. Published in the journal Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, the research indicates that heavier individuals need a higher intake of vitamin C to stay healthy, a need not currently met by existing guidelines. Lead researcher Professor Anitra Carr, who directs the Nutrition in Medicine Research Group at Otago’s Christchurch campus, highlights the insufficiency of current vitamin C recommendations. “Our data suggests current vitamin C recommended daily allowances internationally...

In late May, a strange post appeared on the X account of Iran’s leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “Dear University Students in the United States of America,” it read, “you are standing on the right side of history. You have now formed a branch of the Resistance Front.” As it happens, the Supreme Leader’s government has struggled with its own resistance, ignited by the regime’s murder of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, accused of violating Iranian laws requiring head coverings—the most visible, but far from only, limitation on women’s basic freedoms in the Islamic country. It’s hard to imagine that the cleric looked...

U.S. — After learning that Joe Biden would not seek a second presidential term, his son Hunter took it upon himself to advise all the foreign governments that had previously sent him bribe money that there would be no refunds. "Sorry, no refunds!" Hunter informed members of the Chinese government. "I believe I made that very clear when we first drew up the deal. You can still send me money, I might be able to get you a meeting with Kamala. She's like my best friend." Several foreign governments have expressed buyer's remorse. "Ugh, what am I going to do...

For the first time, scientists have demonstrated how a specific protein increases in our organs as we get older and actively promotes the aging process. By blocking this activity, it could not only help us live longer, but slow the physical decline that is, right now, an inevitable part of aging. Researchers at Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore have previously undertaken three different studies to examine interleukin-11 (IL-11) protein expression and its role in heart and kidney, liver and lung health. The lattermost research has led to an experimental anti-IL-11 therapy that's currently in clinical trials to treat fibrotic lung...

In a new book, political scientist M. Steven Fish argues that pro-democracy forces need to deploy a “high-dominance” political style to defeat Trumpism. And, he says, they need to stop being so squeamish about patriotism.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Joseph R. Biden, 46th President of the United States, has finally managed to rally the country around a common cause by dropping out of the presidential race. The move has been widely praised as the most popular action of Biden's presidency and has garnered bipartisan support from nearly all Americans. Biden's decision to step down is polling at nearly 100% approval across the nation and has sparked spontaneous block parties and state fairs country-wide. Judd Franklin, a lifelong Republican, said that he never thought he'd find any sort of agreement with the Democrats. "Who'd have ever guessed...
