Free Republic

Mr Kitty spotted this young man during the live stream of McCain's funeral today. I think the kid may know something we don't.

I got a question I want to pose to the Freeper community. To be the consummate professional in the workplace, does mean you should be "courteous" as well? The reason I ask this question is this. Just recently I ran afoul of a co-worker because this co-worker took disagreement with me because of perceived flaws in my character. Basically that means, that person's liberal west coast values is in direct conflict with my conservative Midwestern values. Ever since then, it's "all business" and no idle chit-chat. When the situation finally exploded this week that person said that there is no...

It's been painful to listen to many on team MAGA complain about Attorney General Jeff Sessions, accusing him of ineptness and promoting the narrative that he needs to resign. This idiocy has spread to knowledgeable right-leaning media personalities that clearly have no idea what's happening, and don't appreciate the size and scope of what Sessions has been undertaking. The primary focus of Attorney General Sessions is to restore integrity and honor to the Department of Justice. He has been doing an excellent job running a tight ship and keeping details about ongoing investigations confidential. AG Sessions is doing everything to...

No jail for Eric Clanton, the Antifa “ethics” professor who used a metal bike lock to assault seven innocent Trump supporters This video shows a masked Antifa thug using a metal bike lock to smash the head of an innocent Trump supporter at Berkeley, California, in April 2017:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qKCl9NL1CgSome awesomely talented amateur sleuth observers at 4chan later identified the thug based on his partially visible face, his clothing, and several other things.Any one of these things by itself is pretty meaningless. But taken together, it is extremely likely that they identified the correct person.For specific details, see here, here, here, here, here,...

Conservatives Paul Joseph Watson and Candace Owens post mugshots of Antifa members to prove that liberal CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin is wrong about their skin color After President Trump recently warned about possible violence from Antifa members, CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said:“Let’s be clear also about what’s going on here. The theme here is, ‘I’m Donald Trump and I’ll protect you from the scary black people.'”“Antifa is widely perceived as an African-American organization, and this is just part of the same story of LeBron James and Don Lemon and Maxine Waters and the NFL players and the UCLA...

A recent report by a Pennsylvania grand jury has put a scandal – the one about the Catholic priests guilty of sex abuse – back in the news again. Since this particular investigation and report deals with a period that goes back seventy years, there isn’t much actual “news” in it, but it includes shocking numbers and heartbreaking stories, so it has understandably gained national attention. This Pennsylvania grand jury cast a wide net to capture the entire picture, or at least, as much of the picture of an international organization and an international problem as a state judiciary can...

"""FBI Raid Thomas Paine’s House, Point Guns At His Young Children; How an Award-Winning Reporter Became Thomas Paine""" I can say with certainty, my decision to journey back into journalism was made after the FBI pointed guns at the heads of my wife and children. I knew that first morning (the FBI actually raided my home twice and pointed guns at my family twice) when federal agents raided our home one definitive thing was going to unfold: These bastards — and their bosses — were going to pay for violating my family. My kids. My home. One way or the...

Idiots are protesting against the convenience store where Michael Brown stole merchandise and assaulted an employee Before Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, this security footage from Ferguson Market and Liquor showed Brown stealing merchandise and assaulting a store employee. Skip to 1:13https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbPbX76cOVQFour years later, this brand new article form the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says:“Protesters believe that the surveillance clip mischaracterized Brown.”The protestors aren’t saying that the footage was edited, altered, or changed in any way.Instead, they are saying that the footage mischaracterized Brown.They are wrong. Instead, the footage shows exactly what Michael’s Brown’s...

Who do you think will get McCain senate seat? Cindy?

Thank goodness McCain had obamacare to keep him alive this long after he got brain cancer........oh wait.

CNN recently asked a wide-range of Americans living in northeast Pennsylvania — Republicans, Democrats, and independents — for their opinions on President Donald Trump following the legal developments surrounding Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen, two men deeply tied to the president. It’s clear the segment did not go as CNN planned. When CNN correspondent Jason Carroll asked residents in Luzerne County — which supported Barack Obama in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections, but flipped to support Donald Trump in 2016 — for their thoughts on the president following this week’s news, he was met with reactions that will shock...

Apparently, Elizabeth Warren doesn’t think that Mollie Tibbett’s murder by an illegal alien is a “real problem” When asked about Mollie Tibbett’s murder, Elizabeth Warren starts out giving what seems like a very sincere and heartfelt response.Good for her!But then she says “but,” and says we need to focus on “real problems.”Shame on her!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ0ORLU_Q3E

Hello! It's been a few months since my last report about the situation in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria hit on 9/21/17. In my last report (December 2017), my Dad, who lives in Old San Juan, got intermittent power back on December 3rd. In June 2018, he indicated that he got through 2 straight weeks where the power did not go out at all, and last week he indicated that about "95% of the island has power restored". He says that he and others have gone through deep depressions because of continuous months without power. It's been a stressful 11...

Fr. Paul Sullins, Ph.D., Research Associate of the Ruth Institute, Answers Questions on The Clerical Sex Abuse Scandal Is the current Catholic sex abuse scandal related to homosexuality?Yes.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks the U.S. has 500 million people As of July 1, 2017, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates the U.S. population to be 325,719,178.However, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks the U.S. has 500 million people.She recently stated:“200 million Americans make less than $20,000 a year. That’s 40% of this country.”Skip to 4:45 in this video to hear her say those words:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUmIdCClbTEI certainly would not expect her or anyone else to know the exact number. If she or anyone else had said that the U.S. population was 325 million or 330 million, that would be perfectly reasonable.But 500 million?
