Free Republic

The state of Iowa has passed groundbreaking new laws that ban far-left Critical Race Theory (CRT) from being taught or promoted in government-funded agencies, schools, or universities. Iowa's Republican governor, Kim Reynolds, signed the new legislation into law this week, effective from next month.

America is definitely not Europe, but we can find a number of parallels between European history and contemporary America. For example, we’ve previously written about the Italian Years of Lead as a possible template for urban unrest and low-level inter-tribal warfare in the United States. Another example of how things might play out in the United States is the Spanish Civil War. The Spanish Civil War is known to historians, amateur and professional alike, as the “dress rehearsal for the Second World War.” It is so termed because it pitted one side – which was equipped, armed and funded by...

The horrific crash of a 747-400 at Bagram (here) has yet to be fully investigated and claims are already being made that it was a stall caused by a loose cargo that caused tail of the aircraft to drop and the nose to rise depriving the wings of lift. Maybe. The Bagram 747 crash has many similarities to the even more horrific crash of AWACS flight Yukla-27, (here) which was caused by the aircraft striking at least two Canada Geese in the Runway Kill Zone (RKZ) as discussed on an earlier post on this blog (here). Terrorists familiar with the...

A forensic expert says Herman Cain is telling the truth while Sharon Bialek is lying. Florida is a closed primary state, so although I am an independent, I registered as a Republican so I can vote in the primaries. I have yet to make up my mind as to who I will support in Florida’s January primary. I find Rick Santorum to be by far the most consistent pro-life candidate. I also consider Herman Cain, Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry to be acceptable candidates who I would support in the general election. Alveda King (Atlanta pro-life...

The Holy Ghost is saying the rise and fall of the leviathan state has begun. God is against the rebel leviathan state and is shaking everything that can be shaken (Haggai 2:6-7). Author George Orwell said it well in “1984” regarding the danger of leviathan servitude. “In a way, the worldview of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what...

I'm kicking off the New Year with a new blog. The main purpose of "The Coupon Whisperer" won't be to provide hot coupon tips, although I will be doing that. The primary purpose of this blog is to provide you with entertaining "war stories" from the field. Think of it as adventures in couponing. And so we start of with our first story...the strange story of Coupon Mike...I met Coupon Mike earlier this year at his job when I was introduced to him by a mutual friend, who worked at the same place, because of our common interest in...

On Friday, an anti-terrorism task force of the FBI conducted eight raids in Chicago and Minneapolis. Among the targets was Hatem Abudayyeh, executive director of the Arab American Action Network Network (AAAN). This much has been reported in the media. What has received less coverage is the connection between the AAAN and the President of the United States. This photo of Michelle and Barack Obama was taken on May 24, 1998 in Burbank, IL, where state senator Obama was an honored guest at a gala dinner. Hosting the event was -- drumroll, please -- the Arab American Action Network...

We all know Obama's speeches are a joke. His policies are a joke. And he's a joke. This one's been floating around the web for a while now: President Obama decided to do one of his public addresses against the backdrop of an American farm, but the ceremony couldn't get started because of all the flies buzzing around his head. Obama demanded to know why the flies wouldn't leave, so the farmer explained to him, "Well, those are called circle flies. They always circle around the back end of horses." Obama angrily replied, "Hey, are you saying that I'm a...

"In case you hadn't heard, Thursday's action on the New York Stock Exchange registered a technical anomaly known as the Hindenburg Omen. Read: just like the doomed German airship, the markets are fated to crash and burn. Still worse, Wednesday's trading action almost sparked Hindenburg Omen conditions. It takes two Hindenburg Omen trading days within a 36 day window to trigger the end of life in the markets as we know it." (www.thestreet.com) In this video Jim Puplava talks about the mainstream media and how they spin the economic news and Max Keiser talks about the Hindenburg omen! It was...

LH687 from Tel-Aviv to Frankfurt. Economy class is occupied with a few dozens of French tourists. Suddenly they start a 'pillow war' inside the cabin. The Lufthansa flights attendant seems to take an active part in the war.

On the 12 August 2010 edition of CNN's Rick's List, Victor Choban, a supporter of California's Prop 8, which outlawed same-sex "marriage," was interviewed on-air by CNN. Choban cited his experience of living under the rule of the communist Soviet Union as one part of his critique of the judge's ruling against Prop 8.

Well, forget today’s sound bytes. Forget the hanging apologies. Look at the medium: Rolling Stone magazine. The general chose to vent (over the course of several weeks, by the way) not to the NYT, not to the Washington Post, not to The Christian Science Monitor, etc. No. He choose Rolling Stone, for God’s sake!

Many of you may know me as the site creator of watchglennbeck.com, or from my YouTube channel, TheDailyBeck. I get a lot of e-mails from people with suggestions and new ideas for the site. By far the most popular suggestion of all was from folks wanting a public forum to be able to discuss the issues of the day and share their ideas and opinions with other like-minded people.. Enter The Daily Beck. I have enlisted a collaboration of like-minded people from all over the world who are dedicated to spreading Glenn Beck’s message of limited government, common sense and...

As I celebrate the freeing of my people from bondage, praying for the day when all people can be free (and adding the traditional 'next year in Jerusalem'), it was hard to ignore the intentional slap in the face by the RNC. The RNC reimbursed a donor for the few thousand they spent at a 'Bondage themed night club'. Coincidence; I think not. The donor may have repaid the expense, but the slap is still there.

Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, explores the damage caused by sugary foods. He argues that fructose (too much) and fiber (not enough) appear to be cornerstones of the obesity epidemic through their effects on insulin.

War photos of U.S. soldiers in Iraq are circulating on the web unlike those you may have seen before. The undated pictures give "Proof of abuse by our troops." Unlike the pictures from Abu-Ghraib with grabbed the attention of the media, these are largely unpublicized due to their sensitive nature. The photos which show our soldiers actively engaged with Iraqi citizens are especially intriguing because they appear to clarify the nature of the relationships between our men and women in uniform and the Middle Eastern people who actually live in the areas occupied by our troops. These are photos you...

Even Sean Hannity has written off Free Republic, saying "Everyone I knew basically left because of so much childish immature personal attacks, the propensity there to eat their own." [Listen to Sean Hannity’s Statement about Free Republic. ] I was suspended from "conservative" site Free Republic for having an opinion. It's amazing that a so called site dedicated to "Free" would ban someone for having an opinion. I encourage anyone to feel free to post my material on Free Republic or elsewhere as I will no longer be posting on that site. (If anyone knows of other open forums similar...

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas welcomed Pope Benedict XVI in Bethlehem in Wednesday morning, where his gift to the Catholic leader was a part of the cement separation-security barrier that Israel built to stop suicide bombers from blowing up soldiers and civilians.
