Free Republic

In recent articles, I discussed the importance of keeping the faith, standing strong, and showing our support for free and fair elections. Exactly why all this is vital represents much more than platitudes: Five of the six remaining swing states, including Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Georgia each have state legislators with Republicans in the majority. State Legislators RuleBased on the Constitution, the state legislators have the power to direct election proceedings in their respective states. Judges cannot make rulings that upend the legislators. Governor, secretaries of state, and board of election executive directors likewise cannot. Since five of the...

The next guy who tells me his sad feelz are so intense over the election that he’s not going to vote in Georgia or anywhere else ever again cuz all is lost and blah blah blah is getting slapped. Hard. I’m getting tired of loser talk, and I won’t have it. This is for the benefit of the weak-hearts: Oh no, did you have a set-back? Did stuff not work out the way you wanted? Is it – gasp! – hard? Too bad. Man up. Or woman up. Or genderfluid up. Just stop bawling like Brian Stelter over his cousins...

A tidal wave of reports over alleged voter fraud and other irregularities in the 2020 election cycle should keep FBI investigators busy for the foreseeable future, that is if FBI Director Christopher Wray's investigators care to look. The FBI has been accused of turning a blind eye as hundreds of witnesses step forward and mountains of evidence pile up suggesting a lot of funny business took place during the Nov. 3 election. But could that be changing? Matt Braynard, a former data chief and strategist for the Trump campaign, and his team at The Voter Integrity Project have conducted a...

It appears someone in the Georgia secretary of state’s office getting a bit over their skis, after Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced today that Georgia had certified former Vice President Joe Biden as the state’s presidential winner, which our own Streiff reported earlier on Friday. Despite an earlier announcement, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) said the office is still completing its certification. The office issued a correction, reversing an earlier announcement that had declared the certification was complete. Raffensperger said he expects certification to be completed later Friday.A revised update from WaPo included this depiction of...

On June 18th, 1940, mere weeks after becoming prime minister, Sir Winston Churchill delivered a speech that echoes to this day. About the war that would engulf Europe and then the rest of the world, he said:“Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be freed and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink...

In the hometown of my youth, Bloomfield, Connecticut, I heard a joke when the first fast-food restaurants started entering the community. A customer walks in and is greeted at the counter by a worker who says, "May I take your order?" The customer says, "Yes, I'll have a chocolate milkshake and a slice of apple pie." The fast-food worker asks, "Would you like some dessert to go with that?" When you've been trained, or more likely programmed, to react a certain way regardless of the stimulus you're likely to offer a strange response. Ronna McDaniel, Republican National Committee Chair, and...

Unless the Supreme Court intervenes to halt what may be the most significant political heist in American history, Democrats are on their way to placing America under the thumb of a communistic regime run by an empty-headed Commander-in-Thief installed as its figurehead. I understand those are strong words coming from a columnist who is not a conspiracy theorist. Quite the opposite, I’m a realist who doesn’t buy into the claim there is no widespread voter fraud, coming from the folks who wasted the last four years ranting that Russians rigged the 2016 election for Donald Trump without a shred of...

"I like a good contrarian argument as much as the next guy," tweets mild-mannered RealClearPolitics senior elections analyst Sean Trende, "but there's really no getting around the fact that the 2020 polling was a pile of steaming garbage." "The national polls were even worse than they were four years ago," writes New York Times polling guru Nate Cohn. "(W)hatever steps pollsters took to improve after 2016 were canceled out by a new set of problems." Trende and Cohn have earned credibility as two of the few political analysts who spotted, before Donald Trump's surprise victory, that white non-college graduates were...

Members of the Electoral College do not formally congregate to elect the next president of the United States until Dec. 14, but as far as the media, Hollywood and the Fortune 500 are concerned, former Vice President Joe Biden is already president-elect. This, notwithstanding the fact that President Donald Trump's reelection campaign, having alleged various abnormalities and irregularities in this unusual midpandemic voting process, is currently pursuing legal recourse across myriad closely contested battleground states. The Constitution, of course, does not specify the media, Hollywood and the Fortune 500 as the determiners of our presidential election. We have a rule...

What is going on in this country right now is a propaganda war. It has been going on for some time but has now escalated to the point that it threatens the stability of the country. This is not mere media bias; what we are seeing is media manipulation of public opinion and events, tied directly to the political objectives of the Democratic Party. For months, polls showed Joe Biden ahead in the presidential race by double digits. The public was not concerned, we were inscrutably assured, about Biden's rambling, inarticulate and often completely nonsensical statements. The last-minute revelations of...

The MSM called the election for Joe Biden on Saturday. The MSM has been full of fake news during the Trump presidency, so why should we believe them now? They don’t decide the election; the electors do. The alleged election fraud is currently being litigated, and the Supreme Court has already stepped in, so it’s far from clear yet how to report the results to the electors.  Look how the MSM dealt with a similarly contested election in 2000, where they showed their obvious bias favoring Democratic candidate Al Gore. First, the MSM wrongly called Florida for Gore on election night,...

Momentarily, the media has Joe Biden with 290 electoral votes, 20 beyond what he needs to become the next president of the U.S. The only problem, and this is beyond huge, is that his vote count won't last. He's on course to lose Pennsylvania. Once Rudy Giuliani and company present their case regarding massive fraud in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, the state will go to Donald Trump.  Take away 20 from Biden, add it to President Trump, and now the Democrats are showing fear. What else is on the table? Donald Trump has requested a recount in Wisconsin, and so we'll...

One way to interpret the results of the 2020 election is that voters want their political leaders to keep fighting with one another. By that theory, voters appear to have narrowly replaced Donald Trump with Joe Biden, left the Senate with a slim Republican majority, and kept the House under slightly diminished Democratic control because they crave more dysfunction and mutual recrimination. They hope that Bernie Sanders, the Squad, and their allies will lean hard on Biden to be "the most progressive president in American history," that the most Trumpian members of the GOP caucus will obstruct Biden on everything,...

What is happening in Pennsylvania is a dark moment for America. Under the leadership of Governor Wolf and his liberal regime, the Pennsylvania elections system has become completely compromised. It has become clear the leadership in this state is anti-democratic, does not value our constitution, and is engaged in an outright attack on the legal votes that have been cast by the good, hardworking people of the Commonwealth. As the former Secretary of State of Ohio, I have overseen multiple elections in a state that for years has been dedicated to transparent election administration and ensuring there is bipartisanship, fairness,...

Though Democrats pulled out every conceivable stop in order to ensure the defeat of their "Bad Orange" arch-nemesis, they aren’t crowing about it quite like you’d expect. If President Trump were Satan himself or even "literally Hitler," as we’ve been told for years, one might expect his removal to be met with the level of jubilation appropriate for such a monumental accomplishment, no? Sure, there’s been some (pretty bad) dancing in the streets, but for the most part, the response from media figures and Democratic politicians has been quite muted, if not a bit depressed, as if they’d lost something...

Growing reports of fraud in swing states are making their way onto alternative news sites – the mainstream media obviously won't touch the issue. Numerous reports have surfaced about observers not being allowed to do their jobs. They have been thwarted from having six-foot views of vote counters, been kept out of such rooms, had paper posters block any view, and, in some cases, even been escorted off the premises. Horror Stories AboundSome reports indicate that mailrooms across the country continue to contain mailed-in ballots that were never delivered to the appropriate precincts. Reports have surfaced that late ballots in...

Mr. President, there's only one way to win this now. You need proof. Hard evidence. And witnesses who participated in the robbery. You need to create a new reality show, "Who Wants to Be an Instant Democratic Millionaire ... and Get Full Immunity?" That's one hell of a reality show title. That offer will be a game changer. That offer will change America's future. That offer will save capitalism. That offer will save the Silent Majority and the great American middle class. I'll explain the details of that offer in a moment. But first ... Three weeks ago, I made...

The fierce beast of the Left, the omnivorous viper of the Democrats, has been let loose. Every tyrant needs quislings. Unfortunately, there are appeasers even among Republicans. The 'useful idiots' of the Left are being eaten already; the appeasers will be next. Those who demand grace from Trump supporters as we watch the nation stolen from us, deny the peril from a ravenous beast that will consume our freedoms and chain the American people. The piranhas are already nibbling at Nancy Pelosi, who is suffering from whiplash from the hard, left turn she took when she was reinstalled as Speaker...

Source: Twitter/ScreenshotOn MSNBC, a large panel seemingly agreed with Jennifer Rubin's calls for the burning down of the Republican Party and the elimination of all survivors. Is this the "dark winter" Biden warned us about?  Deranged Trump-hater Jennifer Rubin repeated her calls for retribution of Trump supporters on MSNBC's "AM Joy" on Saturday."It's not only that Trump has to lose, but that all his enablers have to lose," Rubin threatened. "We have to collectively in essence burn down the Republican Party. We have to level them because if there are survivors, if there are people who weather this storm, they...

Does it seem ironic, if not among the oddest political twist of fate since the beginning of time, that candidate Donald Trump won Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania in 2016, based on promises? Yet, President Donald Trump lost Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania in 2020, following his spectacular deeds which greatly benefitted each state? Inquiring minds want to know. While the president is awaiting numerous court decisions, there is much to do! Whether or not justice will prevail, rightfully according Trump his 300-plus electoral votes and victory for a second term, or if the dastardly Democrats pulled off the greatest coup in...
