Free Republic

Nine months until the nation votes for President again, and here's where I think we are. Donald Trump's MAGA support encompasses around 35 percent of Republicans, and they will stand by their man. So, mathematically, Nikki Haley has no chance. I cannot see anything stopping a third Trump nomination. President Biden is drowning. A one-two punch of terrible policies and early-stage dementia has put him in the deepest hole since the hapless Herbert Hoover. The excesses of Donald Trump do bolster Biden a bit, and his party has nowhere else to go, but things will get worse this year for...

There's a lot of noise about who should be the GOP nominee, and that's being sorted out as the primaries begin, but Bill O'Reilly has very effectively put the election into perspective as far as what's at stake, not to mention the ridiculous fearmongering from the Left. Bottom line: The country can NOT take any more of the Biden train wreck and intentional destruction of the republic (while ironically saying Republicans threaten "norms and institutions."

California Governor Gavin Newsom is a socialist. That means he wants the government to regulate the marketplace, telling folks what they can and cannot do. And the biggest thing they can't do is accumulate personal wealth. No, Newsom is making that very difficult for Californians, and if he's ever elected President, no one's portfolio will be safe in this country. Some backup. California entered the fiscal year 2022 with the highest budget surplus ever, close to $100 billion dollars. Enormously high taxes will do that. Then Newsom and the radical left legislature in Sacramento got down to business. Next year,...

Two mass shootings of U.S. World War II infantrymen in Belgium marked this date in 1944. It was the second day of the Battle of the Bulge, Nazi Germany’s surprise last offensive in the Ardennes. Hitler, in an inspired albeit ultimately unsuccessful gambit, intended here to burst through the thin-spread Allied line under cover of air power-negating foul weather, and still his western front enemies in time to fortify his east before the Red Army could destroy the Reich. Needing to inflict a demoralizing lightning defeat, Hitler authorized rougher treatment of POWs than was usual on the western front, resulting...

So, dear reader, this is definitely an interesting interview. This author was a fan of Bill O’Reilly’s show for years, and even when we disagreed with him, we always respected his views and found him interesting to watch. Also, he has something in common with Carlson: They both were more or less fired by Fox News despite dominating their time slots (the same slot, in fact). So, to see both of them sit down and to talk even about O’Reilly’s experience being fired was something we looked forward to. First, we will give you the time stamps: (00:32) Getting fired...

After more than three and a half years and tens of millions of taxpayer dollars, special counsel John Durham has issued a 300-page report on how the FBI botched the Russian Collusion investigation. You may remember another special counsel, Robert Mueller, who found out after spending tens of millions of dollars that the Trump campaign had nothing to do with plots from Russia and that the entire thing was engineered by the Hillary Clinton campaign. The FBI, of course, knew that early on, but the bureau chose to probe the matter anyway to make Donald Trump look bad and possibly...

Feeling a bit sluggish these days? I am. I'm tired of many things in this country, and I bet you are, too. Naps don't help. Soft lighting and soothing music don't either. What's going around is perma-weariness. So now I'm going to vent. Consider this an exercise in listing some of the things that are wearing me out. Let's start at the top: Joe Biden and Donald Trump. President Biden is doing a bad job. Period. If you dissent, you need to stop watching The View and check yourself into reality rehab. The man is a policy disaster on most...

The letter represents Jewish leaders from across the political spectrum. It was sent this week to AT&T CEO John Stankey, AT&T Board Chairman William Kennard, DirecTV CEO William Morrow, and TPG CEO Jon Winkelried, questions and challenges the recent removal of Newsmax's channel from DirecTV, specifically inquiring of the executives regarding any plans to return the network to their systems...Noting their role as community leaders who "represent millions of Jewish Americans," the letter noted Newsmax's role as "a crucial way for us to reach our fellow Americans to share our perspectives on anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism, the State of Israel and other...

Many in traditional news media have suggested the Biden Justice Department's appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith to investigate Donald Trump is an ominous sign for the former president. But famed television journalist and best-selling author Bill O'Reilly has a different take, predicting it will boomerang on Democrats.O'Reilly told the "Just the News, Not Noise" television show that Attorney General Merrick Garland's appointee will have to probe what the FBI knew in advance of the Jan. 6 riot, whether law enforcement could have done more to prevent the tragedy, and why a reported eight bureau assets were embedded among the...

Bill O’Reilly has reached a conclusion that has probably occurred to many people recently, namely that although Joe Biden always represented himself as a moderate regular guy with blue-collar sensibilities from Scranton, he “fooled a lot of folks, including me.” For, O’Reilly observes, Biden has recently been full of praise for extremists, saying that he agrees with everything Rep. Maxine Waters says, which includes, after the George Floyd killing, justifying violence and praising “one of the biggest haters on television,” Joy Behar. Although I certainly understand O’Reilly’s reasoning, I must disagree. My view is that the situation is far worse...

It was strange, Old Joe Biden standing outside Independence Hall in Philadelphia warning Americans their "freedom" is in peril. Warm summer night. Labor Day Weekend upon us. Few following the news cycle. But the President was on a mission. And here's what it is. Internal Democrat polling now shows a looming disaster in November's midterm elections. Even weak Republican candidates like Herschel Walker in Georgia and Dr. Oz in Pennsylvania have a chance to win. Despite pro-Biden propaganda spewing from the corrupt media, the House is likely to be painted red. The leftists running Joe know this. In December 1944,...

As we get closer to the 2022 midterms, a lot of people are speculating about whether or not Trump will run for president in 2024.Bill O’Reilly recently appeared on the Eric Bolling show on Newsmax and said that if Trump does decide to run that he is likely to win.Bill also speculated that if Trump runs, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will sit out this election.Newsmax reports:Bill O’Reilly to Newsmax: Trump Favorite to Win 2024 If He RunsFormer President Donald Trump is the favorite to win his former position in 2024 if he decides to run once more, legendary TV host...

Donald Trump WAS NOT Booed by Supporters at Bill O’Reilly Event.VIDEO

Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly said Monday that former President Trump will again run for office – advising him to do so in part based on a record of developing the COVID-19 vaccine during his administration. Appearing on Dan Abrams’s primetime show on NewsNation, O’Reilly said Trump called him after revealing he had gotten a booster shot, which elicited some boos from a crowd in Dallas during a speaking tour.

First leg of the Trump History Tour in the books. About 35,000 tickets sold. Dallas Morning News reported honestly. Newsweek was the worst. No wonder it's bankrupt. Clips posted on https://t.co/rryWmyXe7C. https://t.co/yUfr4hKL79— Bill O'Reilly (@BillOReilly) December 20, 2021Big thanks to everyone who made the Trump/O'Reilly History Tour a smashing success! pic.twitter.com/NystNAq0Jb— Bill O'Reilly (@BillOReilly) December 20, 2021

Former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly said downplaying or diminishing the seriousness of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol is something that "could never have happened" during his time at the network. "Fox News is a different place than it was when I was there," O'Reilly said Tuesday evening while appearing on Dan Abrams' primetime show on NewsNation. “I don’t follow it that that closely anymore, but when I was there, there was a discipline from management that diminishing the Capitol riot could never have happened. And I'll state that firmly on the record.” O'Reilly had joined Abrams'...

First two Trump History shows went great. Ticket sales for all 4 shows about 30,000 with Houston and Dallas next weekend still selling. Gross receipts for first show: two million dollars. Newsweek and other far-left propaganda cesspools outright lying about the tour. Surprised?— Bill O'Reilly (@BillOReilly) December 13, 2021Going to confront the corrupt hate-Trump media directly. First salvo the @glennbeck radio show. https://t.co/p392SOEO1g— Bill O'Reilly (@BillOReilly) December 13, 2021

Both Donald Trump and Bill O'Reilly touted huge crowds ahead of their "History Tour." But it kicked off at the FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida, with many empty seats, according to local media. "Massive crowd headed into FLA Live! The Trump/O'Reilly History show starts soon...," O'Reilly, the former Fox host, wrote on Twitter on Saturday.

Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly reportedly threatened to sue a Politico reporter over an article revealing that sales for his “History Tour” with former President Trump were low, citing conversations with venue ticketing officials. Politico’s Daniel Lippman on Friday reported that tickets for the tour, which has four stops scheduled at locations in Texas and Florida this December, went on sale June 14, though venue officials said sales have so far been slow compared with other events held at the arenas. [cut] However, Trump and O’Reilly have both pushed back on Politico’s reporting, with Trump spokeswoman Liz Harrington saying...

Donald Trump is promising "fun, fun, fun" on his four-city tour with Bill O'Reilly. The former president and O'Reilly will discuss "exactly how things were accomplished, as well as challenges, both good and bad!" Their exclamation point, not ours. The Houston date is Dec. 18 at Toyota Center, followed by Dec. 19 at American Airlines Center in Dallas. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. June 14 at the Toyota Center site for the local date. Trump in a statement promises "wonderful but hard-hitting sessions where we'll talk about the real problems happening in the U.S., those that the Fake...
