Free Republic

As the Baka Pygmies of the Dzanga-Sangha region of Central African Republic struggle to live in their traditional ways, they find themselves caught between worlds. Baka split their time between village and forest. Here, in their forest home, life continues in the face of many challenges, ranging from poachers to ill health. Destructive developments within the forest, such as illegal logging, also pose a threat. Historically, the Baka have been kept as slaves by the Bantu, an ethnic group from the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Bantu are known locally as ‘Bilo’. Persecution by the Bilo is inescapable....

The monstrosity of Hillary is that she fully supports unjustified homicide against innocent children, on the pretext that to do otherwise would curtail unlimited sexual freedom. But the "Hillary Brain Freeze" video currently trending shows nothing at all unusual, and will give fuel to Democrat claims that Hillary is being "persecuted". It should be roundly condemned by Trump, otherwise it will backfire on him.  youtube.com/watch?v=NlxWckQbpugI have always been a resolute enemy of the Klinton Krime Krewe. But I noted the press going over the top against Bubba about 1998, about matters concerned with Kenneth Starr. I regard the whole Monicagate...

WICHITA, Kan. (CN) — An Internet protocol company turned a Kansas family's idyllic farm life into a "digital hell," assigning 600 million IP addresses to their property, sending police there at all hours looking for runaway children, stolen cars and pornographers, a married couple claims in court.     James and Theresa Arnold sued MaxMind on Friday in Federal Court. Maxmind, based in Waltham, Mass., provides Internet protocol intelligence and online fraud detection tools, through its GeoIP brand, the Arnolds say in the complaint.     Unfortunately, they add, "for the last 14 years, every time Maxmind's database was queried about a location in the United...

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria has seized a trove of U.S. military equipment and weaponry, according to newly released images from the intelligence website SITE.

If President Obama had his way, he’d probably never leave the White House. During an interview with the Golf Channel, Obama confessed it’s only because he’s being “forced out” that he’ll leave the executive mansion in January.

Someone commented about a Trump meme on my FB page, suggesting Ivanka as the first female President and I thought ... WHOA>So I decided to throw it out here for our comments

Holy cow, this is EPIC. Lets see if the national media reports on this story. The Florida DNC sent a rally invitation to the father of the Orlando Pulse Nightclub Terrorist, Omar Mateen. You might remember all of those pictures of Seddique Mateen in Washington DC meeting with State Department officials and Democrat members of congress. Well apparently Omar’s father, Seddique Mateen, a full-throated DNC supporter, accepted the invitation and was caught on camera sitting directly behind Hillary Clinton and cheering for her during the event in Kissimmee.

Donald Trump’s economic plan of rebuilding America is a resounding critique of Democratic leadership in general and Hillary Clinton in particular. Why did Donald Trump select Detroit as the venue to  present his plan?Allow me to have Dewey From Detroit explain, with a retrospective of posts from the Obama years: You Can’t Handle the Solution! To avoid charges of racism there were only a few proscribed approaches for discussing the city’s problems:  you were allowed to wring your hands helplessly, you were allowed to mourn the demise of the city as long as you acknowledged that its fate was the...

Poll problems. I'm not talking about adjustments made for improper questions or demographic sampling techniques, though those do tend to bias the poll results in favor of one particular candidate. (Guess who?) No, I'm talking about the folks actually sampled, specifically Registered voters vs. Likely voters. Most are aware of the RCP rolling average poll and the famous chart showing Clinton cleaning Trump's clock (though not by as much as she needs to at this point in the electoral cycle

“The names on this letter are the ones the American people should look to for answers on why the world is a mess, and we thank them for coming forward so everyone in the country knows who deserves the blame for making the world such a dangerous place. They are nothing more than the failed Washington elite looking to hold onto their power, and it’s time they are held accountable for their actions. These insiders – along with Hillary Clinton – are the owners of the disastrous decisions to invade Iraq, allow Americans to die in Benghazi, and they are...

Washington, D.C. – In the wake of WikiLeaks’ release of emails revealing collusion by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign to defeat the insurgent candidacy of Bernie Sanders, the Clinton camp diligently spun a now leading narrative. This narrative – regurgitated by the mainstream U.S. media – is that Russia’s Vladimir Putin is actively working to subvert the U.S. presidential election. Make no mistake that the Clinton campaign is intentionally attempting to draw the public’s attention away from the Clinton/DNC’s concerted effort to usurp the will of American voters and rigging the Democratic nomination in...

As Obama Pays Ransom, Iran Jails More Americans Why the Mullahs are taking more Americans as hostages. August 9, 2016 Dr. Majid Rafizadeh    Iran is quietly arresting American citizens and taking them as hostages in order to utilize them as pawns for extracting economic concessions or receiving political and financial gains. President Obama and his administration have played a crucial role in encouraging Iran to conduct such nefarious actions. In the most egregious example, a recent report revealed that, according to U.S. and European officials and congressional staff who were briefed, “The Obama administration secretly organized an airlift of $400 million...

One of the people featured in the New York Times (NYT) compilation video designed to marginalize Donald Trump supporters is speaking out to set the record straight. “Big Jim” Williams appears in the NYT video starting at 0:54 and, in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, the Chaplain of the Phoenix chapter of Riders USA blasts the video and the NYT for mischaracterizing him and all Trump supporters.

A gang of gay Muslims in Turkey kidnapped a man, raped him, ripped his intestines out and stabbed him so violently that some of the blades broke inside of his body. It turns out that the victim was also homosexual, so this was a homosexual on homosexual crime. I did a whole video on this murder: (Watch video at link)
