Free Republic

Why is it that when Trump is elected fairly the Democrats form the RESISTENCE and plague him for four years, whereas, when Biden is elected fraudulently there is nothing but well wishing coming from the established Republicans? What does that tell you about the Republican party? The Democrats cheat and never break ranks, but the Republicans squabble amongst themselves and do nothing even when they have evidence of fraud. They lack courage or outright corrupt. How many people need to be primaried to be rid of this corrosive mentality in the Republican party? I don't think it's going to happen....

“Trump has claimed that as president, he can declare illegal immigration as a national emergency, and then he wouldn’t need congressional approval to build the wall. He could just do it himself.” Noah also noted that national emergencies are fairly common, reminding viewers that “President Carter declared a national emergency during the Iranian hostage crisis in order to put sanctions on Iran. President Obama declared a state of emergency during swine flu to help hospitals respond more effectively. President Bush declared an emergency when Friends went off the air.” (Note: one of these is not true.) “Presidents declare national emergencies...

A former security director for the Senate Intelligence Committee (James Wolfe) has pleaded guilty to one count of giving a false statement to FBI agents looking into leaks of national security information to several reporters, the Justice Department announced Monday. ...Wolfe had been scheduled to appear for a routine status hearing, before prosecutors announced that "substantial" negotiations had produced a guilty plea.

“DHS boss Kirstjen Nielsen heckled, harassed at DC restaurant”, reads another headline. Since President Trump took office, the only opposition tactics we have seen are heckling, harassing, threatening, intimidating, cajoling, mocking, using foul language and even violence. Is this all “the resistance” has? Whatever happened to argumentation? Whatever happened to reason and persuasion? They never state their case and make it rationally. Do THEY believe their views favoring open borders, socialized medicine, unlimited government spending and debt, subsidizing corrupt businesses, and curbing the rights to free speech and bearing arms are outside of reason? If so, then why do they...

Failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has sent $800,000 from her campaign funds to her new political action group, Federal Election Commission filings show. Clinton announced her intent to be "part of the resistance" in May with the formation of Onward Together, a political action group that will fund a number of established "resistance" groups that can quickly counter President Trump with direct action and protests. The group is dedicated to "encouraging people to organize, get involved, and run for office" and advancing "progressive values and work to build a brighter future for generations to come," according to its mission...

The resistance movement against President Donald Trump has one of the country's premier historians onboard — and his reasons for opposing Trump are pretty terrifying. Leading historian at Yale, Timothy Snyder, warns that Trump could try overthrowing democracy during his presidency. In fact, he predicts it's "inevitable." Snyder has spent his career working on Modern Eastern Europe, and as such he has plenty of knowledge on authoritarian leaders. Using his research, he wrote a book to help get America through the Trump presidency and it's called On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century. The book is more of a...

It’s high time to force Obama face to face with the people he mocks, time to bring truth to power on renegade ripoff artist Barry Soetoro While Barack Obama waits in shadow mounting his resistance army to “force “ resignation or impeachment on duly elected President Donald Trump, he mocks Americans from the pages of international newspapers like the U.K.’s Daily Mail. Assuming underdog status for his post-election Shadow Government, Obama is the self-acclaimed leader of rampaging activists and rip-off artists.

Fear! and being the first man I want to post a comment on this. FEAR! It is the life draining emotion. It is what keeps you from accomplishing and doing and starting. It is excessively protectful. It is how animals think...the kind of animals that get eaten. Fear is destructive in that it prevents you from doing anything at all other than running away or hunkering in a fetal "down and cover". Fear thrives on pessimism and complaining. The man that wakes every morning, walks outside and smiles at the bright sun and blue sky and cinches down the ruck,...

The picture says it all...

The Sicilian Mafia, the Cosa Nostra, is facing a revolt by local businessmen who refuse to pay protection money. Until now almost every business in the Sicilian capital, Palermo, has paid off the Mafia or faced retribution.

Tax evading couple refuses to be jailed PLAINFIELD, N.H., July 20 (UPI) -- New Hampshire's motto "Live Free or Die" has special meaning for a Plainfield couple that is refusing to report to jail for income tax evasion.

The Browns stopped paying income taxes in 1996 claiming that ordinary labor cannot be taxed. In January, a judge convicted the couple of conspiring to evade paying...

My last column, "Forget Free Speech, Liberals Don't Tolerate Campus Conservatives," drew the ire and attention of thousands. Published online by GOPUSA and the Washington Times, it sparked still more debate on the issue of liberal bias on campus. Conservative professors from North Carolina, Wisconsin and across the country e-mailed their support. One celebrity endorsement came from former U.S. House Historian Christina Jeffrey, who currently presides over the South Carolina Association of Scholars. In her words, this past column was my "best ever." Still more students, parents and alumni stepped up, sending e-mails and notes, while weighing in on countless...

<p>BAGHDAD -- It was a day everyone knew would come, yet somehow it fell with the subtlety of a sledgehammer.</p> <p>With President Bush's ultimatum to Saddam Hussein to leave Iraq within 48 hours, the uneasy normality that had prevailed in this capital disappeared Tuesday, as if swept away by the fierce windstorm that howled through the city.</p> <p>Ashen-faced and on the edge of frantic, the men and women of Baghdad looked to the days ahead with dread, wondering how -- and if -- they will come out of a war.</p>

<p>BAGHDAD, March 17 -- With a crash, Nahad Shukur slammed down a plastic bag stuffed with rounds for an AK-47 assault rifle on the display case of his gun shop. There are 50 in here, he said, but more are available if you need them.</p> <p>Shukur pointed to a row of eight bags behind the counter and ticked off the offerings: 100 rounds in this plastic bag and 200 in that one. In the rainbow-colored bag were 500 rounds and in the other one, 1,000. He paused, then, with a knowing glance, waved a visitor to a back room.</p>

In Iraqi Capital, People Prepare For The ConflictBy John F. Burns BAGHDAD, Iraq, March 17 &#8212; The people of Baghdad hastened today to prepare for war, taping windows, shuttering shops and restaurants, and hauling away everything of value they could load into cars, minivans and trucks. The 4.5 million residents of the city had little official information about the outside events that made war appear imminent, notably President Bush's announcement in the Azores on Sunday that he was calling a halt to months of United Nations diplomacy over Iraq's banned weapons and Saddam Hussein's government. All that Iraqis learned from...
