Free Republic

We recently saw how certain Western nations — first Denmark, then Sweden — have gone from being bastions of free speech and expression to banning any “hate” speech or expression against Islam (for example, burning the Koran). At one point, I wrote, “rather than ban the burning of the Koran, it seems that Scandinavia might have served itself better had it banned the Koran altogether.” Such an assertion is not as whimsical as it might seem.

Democrats are profoundly indifferent to the crime costs of their open borders policies on ordinary Americans. One of the most disgraceful moments in Kamala Harris’s interview with Fox News's Bret Baier was when he brought up several of the young women murdered by criminal migrants who have entered the country illegally since Biden and Harris took office. There have been many, many, more Americans raped and/or murdered, children abused and molested by these criminal illegals who have crossed our border, but Baier focused on just a few. He asked Harris if she owed the parents of those victims an apology...

Who would have thought the Amish would ever vote for ANYONE? I heard they are voting for Donald Trump (not Kamala Harris) in the 2024 election. So I went to their world headquarters to find out why. And what an insight

Alec Baldwin returned to Saturday Night Live as Fox News anchor Bret Baier during the show’s cold open, which spoofed the testy interview with Kamala Harris (Maya Rudolph). “When I interviewed President Trump, my first question was, what do you think is the most important issue facing our nation? So my first question for you is, give me the exact number of murderers you let loose in this country?” Baier asks the vice president. However, as Harris attempts to answer, the Special Report with Bret Baier host continues to interrupt her, similar to his real interview with the vice president...

Here in New York we have our own unique and special acronym for how we think we are going to make our future emissions-free electrical grid work with predominantly wind and solar generation. The acronym is DEFR — the “Dispatchable Emissions-Free Resource.” When the sun goes down and the wind stops blowing in the dead of winter, we will crank up the DEFR to keep us all warm and cozy. There will of course be zero carbon emissions, because by definition the DEFR is “emissions-free.” Unfortunately nobody is quite sure what this DEFR might be. There are only a few...

The state of Florida has filed a lawsuit against the Biden-Harris Administration due to its refusal to assist multiple states with efforts to purge illegal aliens from the voter rolls ahead of the 2024 election. As reported by Fox News, Florida’s lawsuit states that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has an obligation to help verify the immigration status of anyone who is registered to vote. “Because the federal government is refusing to comply with these obligations and frustrating Florida’s ability to maintain the integrity of its elections, Florida files this suit,” the lawsuit declares. The state added that it...

A new Islamic party in Belgium is gaining ground rapidly, and is pushing the capital of the European Union that much closer to being ruled by Sharia. Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from the online news portal Nius. The translator’s comments are in square brackets: 10% in local elections: Islamist party now establishes itself in Brussels!More and more Islamic political parties are being founded in Europe. Now an Islamist party is suddenly gaining strength in Belgium: the TFA. After achieving success in the Brussels parliamentary elections, it has surprised everyone with its next success in the...

Just to be clear, cheating in elections will always be with us. There is way too much at stake for the players to avoid breaking the rules when “necessary.” They need only to say, “The end justifies the means,” and all should be forgiven. It is, however, incumbent on the rest of us to minimize the influence of cheating on the outcomes. The most basic form of electoral cheating is deception. Kamala Harris has to some degree advocated further construction of a border wall — something she would never really do — but it might get her a few votes....

I live in Putnam County which is referred to as “upstate” New York. We are just a stone’s throw from Westchester County. When traveling around Putnam I see some Trump signs but very few Harris signs. Sort of makes sense since the county is home to retired cops and mostly middle class families. Now when my travels take me into Westchester which is a pretty affluent area I see many more Harris signs than Trump. Some are rabid supporters with multiple lawn signs and even Trump signs with a circle and bar across it. Why is that? How can you...

Tim Walz recently told students at the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire that President Trump “will use the U.S. Army against people who disagree with him.” Walz said of Trump: “He’s talking about that he considers anyone who doesn’t support him or who will not bend to his will an enemy of our country. It’s a serious issue. He is saying that he would use the military to go after them. Think about this.” It is not the first time that Walz has fired off a shot without result, although usually he has trouble loading his gun, figuratively and...

A Democrat politician went to a restaurant. He turned to the people on his left and told them he would pay for their meals if they supported him. The people on the left were glad to receive stuff for free, and rousingly agreed to support the Democrat politician. The Democrat politician then turned to the people on his right and demanded that they give him their money. The Democrat politician threatened the people on the right. The people on the right must give him their money or he would have them attacked by the press and labeled as “mean-spirited” and...

Rosie O’Donnell’s daughter Chelsea Belle O’Donnell was arrested for child neglect and possession of drugs after police reportedly found her 11-month-old son near a meth pipe last month. The 27-year-old was charged on Sept. 17 with four felony counts of maintaining a drug trafficking place, child neglect, possession of methamphetamine and THC, the latter of which is commonly found in cannabis, according to court docs obtained by In Touch Friday. She was reportedly also hit with two misdemeanors: disorderly conduct/domestic abuse and possession of illegally obtained prescription drugs.

The flawless launch of SpaceX’s 5,000-ton Starship and its Super Heavy Booster, and the precision recovery of the booster on its launch pad, has opened the way to a manned mission to the moon next year and perhaps to Mars as soon as 2030. One giant leap for Elon Musk’s company on Sunday was one more reminder that Europe’s space program is a colossal failure. Elon’s Musk’s dream has become Europe’s nightmare Europe is currently unable to launch even its own weather satellites, and India, which managed a soft landing on the Moon last year, now has a more credible...

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – The Oregon Elections Division is resuming phone operations shortly after shutting down all calls due to an overwhelming surge of out-of-state callers complaining that Donald Trump is not in the Oregon Voters’ Pamphlet.On Thursday, the elections office told KOIN 6 News the callers had been responding to false information about why the former president did not appear in the pamphlet, including social media rumors making election interference claims.However, the Oregon Secretary of State’s office said the decision for Trump’s omission was actually made by his own campaign when it did not submit a statement or pay...

Pennsylvania residents with Trump signs in their yard are reportedly receiving disturbing letters warning them that “there will be consequences” for supporting former President Donald Trump. “We know where you live, you are in the data base,” the anonymous author states in the letter, first obtained by The Post Millennial. “In the dead of a cold winters night, this year, or next and beyond, there is no knowing what will happen. Your property, your family may be impacted, your cat may get shot. And more.” The threatening message was written on a “Trump 2024” letterhead, and began with “a quick...

If you think you’re disgusted with our military and political “leaders,” you aren’t nearly disgusted enough. It turns out the Chinese balloon overflight of some of our most sensitive military installations was only the tip of what appears to be a planet-sized iceberg: For several nights, military personnel had reported a mysterious breach of restricted airspace over a stretch of land that has one of the largest concentrations of national-security facilities in the U.S. The show usually starts 45 minutes to an hour after sunset, another senior leader told [USAF General Mark] Kelly. The first drone arrived shortly. Kelly, a...

I was sitting beside a lake recently, admiring the beautiful autumn sunset and thanking God for the serenity of that place, the beauty of His creation and the peace in that tiny part of the world I was sitting in. It was still warm out for this time of year in Wisconsin; an “Indian summer,” but the falling leaves will soon give way to falling snow. And I believe the Holy Spirit spoke a single, simple word to me: “Remember.” “Remember this time of serenity, beauty and peace in this place, because it won’t always be this way, and things...

The San Jose State Spartans women’s volleyball team cruised to a 3-1 victory over the New Mexico Lobos as they continue to compete under a shroud of controversy over having a transgender athlete on their roster. Blaire Fleming, the player in question, led the way with 18 kills in the match. Brooke Bryant added 14 while Eda Koker, Emma Testi and Brooke Slusser each had nine. One of Fleming’s kills in the third set raised eyebrows on social media. San Jose State set Fleming up for the spike, and she nailed one down off of the Lobos’ libero.The ball appeared...
