Free Republic

The US Congress has a habit of regularly increasing its spending, borrowing money, and increasing taxes. Their pace of increases is regularly sucking away so much freedom and hope away from the American people. However, their agenda of sucking away to enrich themselves is on hold right now. The House still haven't elected a Speaker. How long will this hold last? If it lasts very long then the American people may have some breathing room to actually have freedom and hope in their lives.

I did some analysis on the Federal Reserve and it looks like a Fair Value on their Net Worth is now considerably less than NEGATIVE 1 trillion US dollars. This means that if there was a "run on the bank" with them like happened to Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, FTX, and many other entities throughout history then they'd come up over 1 trillion short in meeting their obligations. If my math is off then please provide your numbers along with justifications so it can be fairly scrutinized.

For the 2022 midterm elections the control of the US Senate is the biggest battle between the Republicans and Democrats with the race centered on 4 Senate races where the Democrats need to win 3 of them and the Republicans need to win 2 of them to have control. These races are Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada. Not counting these 4 seats or any surprise upsets (i.e. someone whose odds are at least 3x as much as the other party's odds) the breakdown of the other 96 seats is 45 Dem, 2 Ind (both caucus with Dems), 49 Rep.

I am curious to know what the environmentalists are saying about how Putin's regime is doing on Environmental, Social, and Governance matters in their "Special Military Operation" to win the hearts and minds of their Ukrainian brothers who they love so tenderly.

Well it looks like Putin wants to have President Zelenksky of Ukraine assassinated and replaced with a Puppet. I'm thinking that if he succeeds then it'll be a difficult sell for the Ukrainians. Could you imagine if Justin Trudeau were to send in armies of Tanks to major USA cities to kill hundreds and blow up lots of things and then replace Biden with a Trudeau puppet who then says "hi, I'm a Trudeau puppet and I'm now POTUS. Everyone sing 'Hail to the Chief'"? This could cause some eye-rolling to happen and not go over too well in the...

I think its important, as we get closer to the Election, to evaluate the Media on what they forecast, through the lense of how they've done in the past. I hypothesize that the MSM was purposely inflating their forecasts in a certain direction in order to try to rally a certain wing of the voters to be more energized while depressing the other wing of voters to be discouraged. I also hypothesize that they are going to be doing the same in the next 19 days regarding battleground races, especially those for US representatives. Here I provide an example of...

Will a 4th Kavanaugh Accuser comes forward? Well it might as well be me who comes forward. To the best of my knowledge I've never met Kavanaugh or had any communications with him. Oh and I've never had one gay thought in my entire life either as I'm a straight male. However just the fact that I'm coming forward is obviously credible enough for NYT, WaPO, CNN, and many other news sources that don't fact check things and like to throw up Straw Man arguments. And like the first 3 who came forward I'm not going to make any statement...

What kind of service do we get from public employees when they belong to a Union?

Schools and the needy get sacrificed for the sake of a league that doesn't enforce its own rules?

Its obvious that what Trump needs to do is veto any and all legislation to raise the Debt Ceiling until Congress gets ObamaCare repealed. The members of Congress need to remember that they were elected to repeal ObamaCare and not to raise the Debt Ceiling. Why is it so important to repeal ObamaCare? Because its not solving the problem but instead forcing the problem down the throats of middle America to destroy the country.

I used to like Chris Christie. But the very idea of him abusing the system like he did this past weekend is disgraceful. He certainly had to know that the beaches were closed to all the people due to the State shutdown. But His Majesty went ahead and allowed his royal family to have their own private beach party. Such behaviors by leaders is not acceptable in the 21st century. He should've told his family that the beach was closed and that any of them going out to the beach could not expect him to vouch for them with any...

The Left is gearing up for a fight. Their goal is to turn 24 of the 35 "swing" districts held by the GOP into theirs while retaining their 17 dem swing districts.

Hi, I'm no lawyer but I see the game that the Left is playing now. They are going to go to Court to try to get injunctions to stop Trump's orders for the federal agencies to follow the law and respect the rights of the people where the federal government has overstepped its boundaries so that continued abuses can happen. I'd like to recommend that someone put in place some motion & suggested order for a federal judge to put an injunction in place to protect us from the abuses of the federal government before someone else gets some injunction...

If any of you can't handle satire/parody then please stop reading this thread. Alright guys it seems like the hope to make America terrible and put America Last has a huge obstacle in its way called Donald Trump. Thus our first order of the day is to undermine his Presidency in every way possible. That way America can finally become dead last in the world as our righteous ISIS brothers and the sympathists of their peaceful religion cause shall prevail. Same goes for the glorious Tienanmen Square massacre oligarchs with their huge trade surpluses with the USA and the huge...

Could it be true? Federal Government layoffs? We see businesses doing it all the time while the bureaucrats seem to think they have a right to a job for life.

It seems like Donald Trump has offended some of the brave courageous Intelligence agency workers. Thus its time to see a dialogue like the following shown in a movie on this topic ;) James: My name is Bond. James Bond. I am 007 and licensed to kill. BadGuy: I understand that your new Prime Minister has accused the political appointments over you in MI6 of having done shoddy analysis work. James: My feelings are hurt as I have never had anyone show negativity or threats towards me like this. I am now greatly offended beyond comprehension that the new PM...

I have a friend who is very intelligent and talented. However when it comes to politics he is a diehard Democrat who IMO doesn't seem to look at the whole picture. He likes to refer to Republicans as "Reds". Well judge for yourself as here is something he wrote today.   "Reds are upside down on every question. Affordable healthcare is bad, Russia is good, our allies not so much. Cutting taxes and over spending on unnecessary military equipment is a good idea. Civil rights are bad. Reducing the population by 10 percent is a good idea. Launching multiple Trade...

Just a few weeks after Gov Pence's plane slides on the LGA runway and nearly kills him/others the CNN (formerly a major news media outlet but now quite marginal) team jokes about Trump having a plane crash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09NWpTxIuHc
