Free Republic

Every day, I run into Republican friends who can't stomach a vote for Donald J. Trump but don't know what to do. Vote for Hillary Clinton, who has trouble with the truth, wants to raise taxes and opposes free trade with Asia? Vote for the Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson, an outlier who once ran a marijuana business and embraces isolationism? Or not vote at all, maintaining a certain purity but allowing others to decide the next president? I faced exactly these choices myself. I have voted for every Republican nominee for president since 1980, but I will not this time....

Hillary Clinton was happy to show off her new campaign plane to the media on Monday. So happy, she took questions for a whole 89 seconds.

In recent weeks, there has been a divide in between Republican nominee Donald Trump and main stream media groups around the country.  CNN went as far to edit out 'Crooked' from "Crooked Hillary" in one of Trump's Twitter posts last week, and HLN, a CNN owned company, blurred out a Trump campaign t-shirt that was worn by a New Jersey man being interviewed for his courageous rescue of a four year old infant.The Hill, a relatively bipartisan news company, has decided not to join CNN in editing out Trump's comments.  On Sunday, one of their articles read, "Trump tears Into Lyin' Hillary,"...

Christine Romans Describes Hillary Clinton Meeting With Press as ‘ Awkward First Date ’ 9 5 16

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton greeted the press who are traveling on her new airplane on Monday morning and took a few questions. Clinton, under pressure for not holding a press conference for nearly 280 days, was peppered with questions like, "How was your Labor Day weekend?" Another question: "Are you ready?" "Do you have a Labor Day message?" one reporter asked. "I do, you'll hear it," Clinton answered. "I definitely, I definitely do. If you want more happy Labor Days, you know who to vote for." "Thanks, I'll come back later," Clinton said as she exited the cabin that...

Guy has written extensively about ObamacareÂ’s dismal year. The number of uninsured is expected to spike by 2 million people between 2017-2026, the number of those enrolled came in 24 million under the original CBO projections, a large percentage of those who enrolled in Obamacare were already insured before their previous plans were gutted under the law, and the whole notion that the law is on the verge of total collapse. ItÂ’s a total disaster, yet NBC News, CBS News, and ABC NewsÂ’ evening programs seem to ignore that President ObamaÂ’s signature domestic achievement is on life support.The honorable mention...

“Dr. Drew” was canceled eight days after Pinsky discussed Clinton’s health on a radio show, saying he was “gravely concerned not just about her health, but her health care.” “CNN is so supportive of Clinton, network honchos acted like the Mafia when confronting Drew,” a source told me. “First, they demanded he retract his comments, but he wouldn’t.” What followed was a series of nasty phone calls and emails. “It was downright scary and creepy,” a source close to Pinsky said.

US President Barack Obama has been delivered a calculated diplomatic snub in Hangzhou, China, where global leaders are convening for the G20 summit. The problems began as soon as Obama’s plane landed in Hangzhou on Saturday. Unlike Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Russian President Vladimir Putin, South Korean President Park Geun-hye, Brazilian President Michel Temer and British Prime Minister Theresa May, Obama did not have the red carpet to walk on when he stepped off the plane. The US president was also forced to leave Air Force One through a little-used exit in the plane’s belly, only used on high-security...

Obama didn't have the smoothest of landings in China to join the G20. On arrival a red carpet staircase failed to appear for Air Force One, forcing the President to exit through the rear of the plane.

The US president was denied the usual red carpet welcome and forced to ‘go out of the ass’ of Air Force One, observers say

As of today, it has been 273 (call it an absolute zero) days since Clinton’s last formal press conference on December 4, 2015, something even the left-leaning WaPo and NYT have expressed outrage against. Naturally, as questions mount if and when the Democratic Presidential candidate will finally speak to the press, overnight Clinton's press secretary, Brian Fallon, had some good news, when he assured an ABC News podcast that she will hold regular press conferences, but under one condition. That she is president, or as Nancy Pelosi might put it, "you have to elect her, to ask her questions."

The Democrat lets reporters trail her but tucks them away to keep them out of sight and herself out of reach. Hillary Clinton has never felt comfortable with the traveling political press. As first lady, she would sometimes arrange travel for herself and Chelsea separate from her husband, partly to avoid the protective pool of reporters assigned to the president. In 2008, she “fought tooth and nail,” former aides said, to avoid sharing the plane with her press corps and relented only when her campaign was running out of money and had to either bring the reporters on board or...

A heroic man captured national attention for his action rescuing a baby from a hot car in New Jersey. But it was the way his interview on CNN-owned Headline News went down that has truly gone viral. The man at the center of the story is Steve Eckel, a retired police officer who used a sledgehammer to break into a parked car that at New Jersey Kohl's, as reported by CBS News on Wednesday. The baby was taken from the vehicle, which Eckel said had reached a temperature of over 120 degrees. HLN had Eckel on to get his story...

Thanks to Joe Farah of WND, we have this little jem about Shepherd Smith – the uber liberal plant deep in the Fox News scene, now essentially stumping for Hillary Clinton on air. On Friday, Nov. 17, 2000, during the “Hanging Chad” election recount in Florida, Smith was arrested and charged with a felony for allegedly driving his car into another reporter who was standing in a parking space she was attempting to save for a friend. According to WND’s coverage of July 9, 2001: “The victim, freelance journalist Maureen Walsh of Tallahassee, was hospitalized and released later the same...

It’s been 272 days since Hillary Clinton’s last press conference. But Clinton’s lead press secretary, Brian Fallon, vows that if elected, “Hillary Clinton will hold press conferences.” “But the frequency of them is something that would just play out as time went on,” he added. On this week’s episode of the “Powerhouse Politics” podcast, Brian Fallon promised greater interaction between Clinton and the press on the campaign trail, and said that he expects the Democratic nominee to hold a press conference “soon.” “The amount of interaction can only go up," Fallon said, noting that the traveling press will soon be...

Just when you think the media could not possibly become more loathsome, the Fourth Estate bullies prove you wrong again. The Washington Post’s latest ugliness was to exploit the disability of a newspaper reporter in order to smear the Republican nominee for president. Then — and this is the least surprising part of the story — the Post lied about it. Other than the subject of that paragraph — which I slyly switched from Trump to the media — that is an exact paraphrase of the Post’s opening lines from an editorial hawking the media’s most successful lie about Donald...

Left-wing CNN’s sister network HLN blurred out the Trump 2016 logo of a man’s t-shirt it interviewed for a human interest segment on Wednesday. The man was being interviewed for his rescuing of a baby left unattended in a hot car. Steven Eckel was wearing a blue Trump 2016 t-shirt during his initial interview with HLN, which was broadcast live. During a subsequent re-airing of the interview, however, HLN’s production team blurred out his t-shirt logo.

We can be sure that – if Jill Stein starts creeping upward in the polls – the mainstream media will knock her down to protect Hillary Clinton and keep her from reaching the 15% threshold required to participate in debates. To the pundits and journalists in America's news establishment, electing Hillary Clinton has become a righteous duty. In their minds, Donald Trump is the greatest evil threatening the American way of life, while Hillary Clinton represents a progressive step forward to a new milestone in American history. If you think America's mainstream news media is one-sided, corrupt and biased by...

Watching NBC news on the coverage of Trump's trip to Mexico. So they focused on the Mexican President's comment that he told Trump he would not pay for the wall, and they ended the coverage saying, (words to this effect) "but that differs from what Donald Trump said today". So I looked up what Trump said today; Did I miss something? Here's what he said:“We did discus the wall. We didn’t discuss payment of the wall"
