Free Republic

President Donald Trump likes to keep score. Well, here's a score for him: America, zero; while the rest of the world keeps tallying up free trade points. That's right; while American consumers have been waiting for well over a year to see some resolution to the various trade disputes started by Trump, other countries have agreed to lower their tariffs against each other and signed free trade agreements with one another. Meanwhile, American consumers and exporters are drowning in a sea of high tariffs. Some of Trump's supporters have argued that the president is actually a free trader who wants...

Outraged over zoning disputes, he armored a Komatsu D355A bulldozer with layers of steel and concrete and used it on June 4, 2004 to demolish the town hall, the former mayor's house, and other buildings in Granby, Colorado. The rampage ended when the bulldozer became stuck in the basement of a Gambles store he was in the process...

A rising wave of homelessness is growing and spreading in the major Democrat controlled cities on the Left Coast. Spreading disease, drug addiction, and social disorder in its wake. From Seattle to San Francisco to Los Angeles the quality of life is plummeting. Democrat municipal and state authorities seem oblivious, placing the rights of the homeless above their duty to their citizens, taxpayers, and public safety. More than 60,000 homeless people by official count are living on the streets of Los Angeles. That doesn’t include the surrounding municipalities and cities in Orange County. Actual estimates are much higher, and the...

Say what you want about Jake Tapper, but he just did something that most of his co-workers are unwilling or unable to do. He asked Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a relatively tough question.The topic was concentration camps, like the ones AOC claims the U.S. has set up along the border with Mexico: "There were concentration camps under Obama and under Bill Clinton. That’s in the story you retweeted. Did you call them concentration camps at the time when Obama was president?"@jaketapper asks @AOC "at the time I was working in a restaurant ..." pic.twitter.com/R0ltbQyJr0— Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) June 27, 2019 Tapper:...

Do you ever take a look around when you're commuting or running errands? So often, our busy routine can leave us overwhelmed, annoyed, frustrated and rushed. Perhaps you feel a combination of all of these. Or maybe you're simply amazed. A few weeks back, I was part of a conversation about gratitude in which one man noted that when he took a step back on the way to the event and took a good look at the people passing him by, he noticed "how there are no minor characters." Everyone is important to someone. The U.S. Catholic bishops had a...
