Free Republic

The big news in Chicago this weekend was black voters are threatening to vote Republican if City Hall does not do something about illegal aliens.Dream on. That won’t happen.

"Feminism is about giving men the right to pretend to be women, take their accomplishments, and invade their spaces!"

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg stopped pursuing charges against former President Trump and suspended the investigation "indefinitely," one of the top prosecutors who resigned from the office said in his resignation letter--but disagreed with the decision. Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne, who had been leading the investigation under former DA Cyrus Vance, submitted their resignations last month, after Bragg began raising doubts about pursuing a case against Trump."You have reached the decision not to go forward with the grand jury presentation and not to seek criminal charges at the present time," Pomerantz wrote in his resignation letter, first reported by...

“All FUSD students deserve to attend schools where they are safe, respected, and supported. Continuing to have police on campus harms Black and brown students who are exhausted from seeing their families harassed by police and witnessing high profile police-killings of young people on TV and social media. We know police on campus don’t prevent mass shootings. Since Columbine we’ve dramatically increased police presence in schools, yet mass shootings have grown exponentially,” said Ashley Rojas, Executive Director of Fresno Barrios Unidos and Fresno’s Education Justice Coalition. “Police criminalize Black and brown students. We have an opportunity here in Fresno to...

1. What determines the point at which you will turn and run and abandon the citizens you have sworn to protect and serve? 2. Can you draft a policy which gives the citizens a clear understanding of when you will turn and run? This is vital to the community because they need as much notice as possible to arm, organize, and deploy to have a chance to overcome the threat. 3. Hypothetically, suppose a crowd of thousands of thugs approaches a community and you turn and run and abandon your citizens. The next day, thousands of bodies of thugs are...

Anti-capitalist, and self-proclaimed “rabble-rousing leftist” climate activist Naomi Klein took liberal guilt complexes to a new level at a conference to compel a transformation in climate change media coverage. Speaking on a panel about the Green New Deal at the Columbia Journalism Review event on April 30, Klein said what was holding people back from taking action on climate was a “sense of doom” and “self-loathing.” “Having covered this for a really long time, uh, I know that one of the strongest forces we are up against is the sense of doom, inevitability, but also kind of a self-loathing,” Klein...

The Democrats now have their rock star in the ever-growing presidential race. On Thursday, Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke officially launched his bid for the presidency. Beto is hoping to capitalize on the excitement that surrounded his losing U.S. Senate race last year in Texas. Despite a massive haul of $80 million, O’Rourke was defeated by incumbent U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). During his online announcement speech, O’Rourke warned that the United States faces “maximum peril,” but the nation remains the "the last great hope of Earth." At a speech in Iowa, O’Rourke warned that "not to be dramatic, but literally,...

Insanity: Despite the fact that you could bury the world’s trash in a minuscule portion of the Earth, Left-wing environmental wackos are hell-bent on getting as many modern conveniences banned or regulated as possible. In recent months they’ve managed to convince liberal lawmakers and policymakers that plastic straws will destroy the planet if they are not banned from at least some major cities. Now these same goofballs are coming after another party favorite: Balloons.

During the late Tuesday/early Wednesday edition of CBS’s The Late Show, actress Drew Barrymore professed her love for the work of liberal comedian and host Stephen Colbert, praising his work now and previously on Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report as having taught her so much and made “the world a more smarter, educated place.” Barrymore had just come out on stage at the 12:03 a.m. Eastern mark when Colbert told her how pleased he was pleased to see her since “I have not seen you since I interviewed you in character on the old show, and back then, I couldn't...

Here are some questions for the man-made or Anthropogenic Global Warmers. Since I have taken up the cudgels on various Facebook pages I am screamed at by numerous sycophants who declare that I am a simpleton and totally ignorant. I confess! But here are some questions for the man-made Global Warmers:

Deputy State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf complained recently about the “crazy” responses she received after she said that one way to fight ISIS is to ensure job opportunities for would-be terrorists. During a Q&A period at an HBCU foreign policy conference Harf was asked what she considers her biggest professional gaffe or mistake. “I did a cable interview on ‘Hardball with Chris Matthews’ a few weeks ago where I said something that, to me, was totally uncontroversial,” Harf began. She was referencing a Feb. 16 show in which she said of the bloodthirsty ISIS: “We cannot win this war by...

The video which follows starts with Greg Gutfeld exposing how the song used — "You've Got a Friend" as delivered by James Taylor, who was having a hard time even keeping his microphone properly positioned — actually served to expose the Obama administration's kiss-and-make-up hypocrisy. When they got around to song ideas, Bob Beckel, the panel's resident hardened liberal, was less than pleased, exposed his ignorance of France's foreign policy positions, and even contended that "there shouldn't have been a rally (in Paris) in the first place." At clip's end, Andrea Tantaros came up with the best song suggestion, which,...

Two Obamacare Navigator groups went door-to-door in Florida on Tuesday offering to help the uninsured determine the proper insurance plan despite past assurances that going door-to-door would be inappropriate, according to Fox News. Gary Cohen, director of the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, testified on Sept. 19 that going door-to-door would be inappropriate. “They are going to be instructed by us, as part of our agreement with them, not to go door-to-door and I am confident, congressman, that they will obey that instruction” Cohen said at the time.

The House on Friday morning rejected a Democratic resolution citing House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) for running a biased investigation against Attorney General Eric Holder, and for conducting a "witch-hunt" against Holder. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) brought up the resolution saying Issa's investigation "discredits the integrity of the House," after which Republicans quickly made a motion to table the resolution. That GOP motion was approved on a 259-161 vote. More than 20 Democrats voted with Republicans.

ALL the world's a stage, wrote Shakespeare, and in the world of Washington, the curtains have opened on the most elaborate farce of the year. Welcome, taxpayers, to the Kabuki Theater of AIG Outrage - where DC's histrionic enablers of taxpayer-funded corporate bailouts compete for Best Performance of Hypocritical Indignation. Over the weekend, cloaked in their finest populist costumes, the Beltway's hair-sprayed and powdered politicians and White House aides took to the airwaves to inveigh against $165 million in employee-retention payments made by the government-backed insurance giant. The checks were mailed Friday, but the March 15 bonus deadline had been...

So much buffoonery, so little time. Who was the Buffoon of the Week and who just missed out? Let's take a look. BUFFOON ALSO-RANS: The California Supreme CourtThe Brave New Justices of the CSC ruled that gay marriage is not an oxymoron, but a legal right in California. By doing so, not only did the court overturn the laws of California and the will of the people, they overturned the collective wisdom of thousands of years of civilization as well. As Pat Buchanan put it, "Homosexual marriage is not in the California constitution, else someone would have discovered it in...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Democratic and Republican senators voiced strong concern on Thursday that the Iraq war could spread to neighboring Iran and Syria if the U.S. military were to chase militants across the border. President Bush, who accuses Iran and Syria of fomenting the violence in Iraq, on Wednesday proposed sending 21,500 more U.S. troops to try to restore security nearly four years after the U.S.-led invasion. Bush sparked worries that the conflict may widen by his comment that "we'll interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria. And we will seek out and destroy the networks providing...
