Free Republic

...Avoiding a repeat of past treachery on immigration means electing a president who will keep his promises, not "work out a deal" that perpetuates our open borders fiasco. So, it is fair to ask, can we trust Ted Cruz to challenge the Republican establishment's love affair with massive immigration?Some candidates make loud, colorful promises to secure our borders. Ted Cruz has a record of actually fighting for secure borders. In 2013, Cruz fought in the Senate trenches to defeat the establishment's grandiose "Gang of Eight" amnesty bill. He offered strong amendments that exposed the true character of the amnesty bill.The...

Conservative commentator and best-selling author Michelle Malkin slammed Fox News on Twitter for the network's decision to allow someone who entered the country illegally to participate as a questioner in tomorrow night's Republican presidential debate. Malkin tweeted: "FoxNews debate questioner Dulce Candy was an illegal immigrant. I'm sure her q will be fair."

A 13 year-old German girl recently went missing. Her family posted many messages on Facebook. The girl was kidnapped and raped for by foreign nationals for 30 hours. Now the family is speaking out. At a weekend rally the girl’s cousin told the crowd the horrific story.

The headline reflects the moment my previous support for Ted Cruz (2011/2012), which evolved to concern about Senator Ted Cruz (2013/2014), turned to admitting Ted Cruz was a phoney. The date was Saturday, July 19th, 2014 – I remember it vividly because I noted in my journal “last straw in providing Cruz any benefit of doubt – done“.

Mexican drug cartels continue to fascinate the minds of Americans who tend to idolize outlaw gunmen with fast cash, fancy cars, guns and women. However, few realize that Mexican drug cartels are as ruthless and sadistic as Middle Eastern terror groups like ISIS with whom they actually have many tactics in common. For most in America, the closest they have come to a drug cartel is the small-time drug peddler in the street corner, the glamorous TV shows, or the Mexican narco-ballads. However, taking a step back and looking at their entire structure, and how those drugs got from...

Remember when Trump called for a halt to all Muslim immigration? While I'm personally very wary of the idea it's hard not to see his point following the rash of sexual assault happening in Arab soaked Europe. While I was aware of the New Years rape attacks in Cologne, Germany. A tip was sent to me about it that really put into focus how much more seriously we should be taking this and future attacks on women. There are lessons the west can learn, the very very hard way, about the Arab world when it let them in with wide...

The conservative state government in Bavaria has called on Berlin to allow the Free State's own police to secure its border with Austria, saying that federal officers are overwhelmed. But Bavarian interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said on Sunday that the federal government had rejected the request from Munich. "I can't understand at all," Herrmann told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper. "That we are not carrying out reliable controls, even five weeks after the Paris attacks and despite the blatant danger, is a sign of weakness." ...

There are visceral messages conveyed by presidential candidates during debates that can be as important as anything they say. Richard Nixon was thought to have won the 1960 debates with John Kennedy by those who listened on radio. But those who witnessed Kennedy's cool demeanor and Nixon's sweaty visage on their TV screens felt Kennedy had won. When Ronald Reagan during a 1980 debate demanded to be heard because "I'm paying for this microphone," his genuine anger and ability to take control of the situation projected strength. When George H.W. Bush glanced at his watch during one of his 1992...

GOP candidates debate for first time since terror attacks.

While being interviewed on WGN Radio Chicago, he said that Trump is NOT a conservative. And that his plan would violate the 1st amendment.Kinzinger is also a Bush state chair for the GOP POTUS wanna.

Meanwhile, it is not finding out where terrorists were radicalized that will keep the public safe from the horror of Islamic terrorist attacks, it is cutting off the jihadists from crossing borders The photo of Tashfeen Malik and Syed Rizwan Farook going through customs at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, unearthed by ABC and riding the Internet today, says it all. It tells us the critical information about who they were, which is far more important than in which country they may have been radicalized. Photographed at O’Hare, Malik and Farook were terrorists on their way back into the United States to...

“I’M A negotiator like you folks; we’re negotiators,” Donald Trump said to the Republican Jewish Coalition on Thursday. “Is there anybody that doesn’t renegotiate deals in this room? Perhaps more than any room I’ve ever spoken to.” At another point, he remarked, “I know why you’re not going to support me — because I don’t want your money.” These comments aren’t as objectionable as Mr. Trump’s talk of registering Muslim Americans, a proposal he has toyed with in the weeks since the Paris terrorist attacks, or when he mocked the physical disability of a New York Times reporter who dared...

Eastern Europe is leading the way to protect the continent against colonizers from Islamic lands. Hungary is in the forefront, having erected a fence that is patrolled around the clock by Hungarian police and military. There is also support along the border from Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Slovakia as these nations partner together to protect themselves. In this video, the mayor of Assothalom (a rural town in Hungary situated along the southern border shared with Serbia) speaks about border security. And he does not mince his words. He acknowledges that all of Europe must be protected and defended or everyone...

For many American Christians, the Paris attacks have revealed a conflict between two priorities: The cause of persecuted Middle Eastern Christians and a hard line on security. Following reports that one of the Paris attackers had a Syrian passport and had allegedly registered as a refugee, multiple GOP presidential candidates called for bans on Syrian refugees. On Monday, multiple GOP governors joined in. Considering the United States has absorbed fewer than 2,000 Syrians, this may seem like political posturing, but Congress is set later this year to debate funding for another 10,000 who President Obama has said he wants to...

Dr. Robert Jeffress, Pastor of First Baptist Dallas, addresses the Paris attacks and shares how Christians should respond.

There was a painful irony when France's immediate response to the terrorist attacks in Paris was to close the borders. If they had closed the borders decades ago, they might have avoided this attack. Someone once said that the First World War was the most stupid thing that European nations ever did. Countries on both sides of that war ended up worse off than before, whether they were on the winning side or the losing side. History may yet record that an even greater stupidity, with even more catastrophic consequences in the long run, was the European nations' decisions to...
