Free Republic

Apparently many are being fooled by this outrageous story of how one gun store in "Podunk" Pennsylvania sold 30,000 AR-15's in 5 days after the Orlando shooting. This is an amazing feat of 21st century commerce since their "web presence" looks like something from the early 1990's. I've seen this Fox Business News story repeated on The Blaze, Washington Free Beacon, etc. This is patently absurd that no one from any reputable source has questioned this. Does no one fact check anymore (besides FreeRepublic)? The Hunters Warehouse owner, Tom Engle, told Stuart Varney of Fox Business News on June 17th...

The key to victory, the key to the courage that brings victory is not simply fighting the fight, but KNOWING we fight a righteous battle for the One who gave us Liberty. Our founders were in a position to pledge their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor because they were firmly rooted in ALL the assurances of Liberty. Our founders knew that Liberty is a gift from God and those that stand for God’s gifts will be victorious through God’s promises. They firmly believed that living in tyranny was worse than dying for Liberty. Did these brave men and...

Adolf Hitler’s Propaganda Chief Joseph Goebbels operated on a simple principle: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” For several decades we have steadily been losing ground to the Left because they have lied about everything, big and small. This said, here are some nasty numbers on Hillary Clinton’s campaign the media can’t smother. We’ve all heard that Republicans hate Trump and Democrats love Hillary. This is not true. A new Gallup survey shows the number of Democrats happy that Clinton is their candidate went from an unhelpful 77%...

Now another shot heard 'round the world has been fired, this time by the British. Hopefully, America and others will get wise and follow her lead “The party is over. Everybody out of the pool - at least for the moment.” Britain, by only a very small margin, elected to leave the European Union. This, most probably the Brit’s last stand for independence, is an object lesson that absolutely should not go unheeded by the United States that is aspiring, tooth and nail, to be the next Finland. It was Finland’s former prime minister, Alexander Stubb, who last night tweeted...

People Vs. Bureaucracy ‘HUZZAH!” The British word for “WOOHOO!” With a 52%-48% victorious Brexit vote We the people of England have restored their nation to independence. In the end the EU was…”unsustainable”. Look out United Nations, the same is being said of you! Special: Barb Walters Sits Down With Dr Oz and Leaves Viewers Speechless Caught up in the spotlight of their own publicity, the pollsters got it immensely wrong in the outcome of a battle best descried as the ‘People Vs. Bureaucracy’.

A well beloved young priest in California was accused by an adult woman of improprieties. Three people know the truth, God, the woman, and the priest. But in a span of time too short for sufficient discovery or due process, the priest was dismissed. Some priests have fallen, some women of uncertain mental stability have been known to suffer a morbid attraction to priests by virtue of their celibacy, some attorneys have targeted the Catholic Church for "deep pockets", some Bishops have "passed the trash". Bishops Accountability is no friend of the Catholic Bishops, but even they note that accused...

Yesterday (June 21st), I went down to Boulder City, a small town just south of Las Vegas, to attend a hearing for a man who had been arrested during a Revenue Generation event that the Boulder City police were holding. John Hunt had been charged with “Failing to Yield as a Pedestrian” and “Resisting Arrest.” However, in reality he was arrested for interfering with their ability to generate revenue by extorting drivers. In the end, it actually took longer to make the 25 mile trip from Vegas to the Boulder City Municipal Court than the court appearance lasted. John Hunt’s...

A global-expedition leader reflects on his latest mountaineering adventure with his son and two Green Berets Sheer grit, dig-down-deep determination, and a fortitude not matched by most of the toughest men I’ve ever known, were the all-encompassing descriptions – perhaps the only adequate ones – I felt as I watched retired and disabled U.S. Army Green Berets ascending and descending the great Denali (Mt. McKinley), Alaska. The expedition up the mountain was not only unforgettable; but in many ways a once-in-a-lifetime experience; proving once again that it’s not always the objective gained, but the quest to achieve it (And this...

The Progressives have systematically used education, media and the courts to indoctrinate, cajole and hijack the people into accepting a truncated vision of the Constitution How can we possibly know the motive of the perpetrator of the Orlando Massacre? It is a mystery to the President, the Attorney General, his whole administration, and their cheerleaders in the Corporations Once Known as the Mainstream Media. Forget that the killer called 911 and pledged allegiance to ISIS. This has been redacted from the government transcripts so it has been effectively dropped down the Memory Hole. Forget that according to survivors he was...

Yesterday a stunned Slate magazine said this about Donald Trump’s smashing speech outlining Hillary Clinton’s crimes: “Donald Trump’s Wednesday morning speech about Hillary Clinton’s record is probably the most unnervingly effective one he has ever given.” Let’s go one further: It was the most effective speech given by a Republican in living memory and Trump is just getting started. The media started yesterday in a state of shock. The geniuses at NBC publicly moaned that they could not believe Trump is tied with Clinton in Ohio and Pennsylvania. “How could this be; Trump just had the worst week of his...

Our contemporary American experience seems often Orwellian. We have a Congress that denies our Rights in the name of security. We have a president who not only writes laws with his pen, but is also in the habit of rewriting history to serve his political purposes. Many patriots have expended a great deal of energy this year in the fight to see our Liberty protected and America’s greatness restored. We are all well aware that there are still many struggles ahead and mountains yet to be conquered. But let us be reminded of a hope that is rooted firmly in...

A man named Marlon Paul Alarez goes into a Florida pawn shop in broad daylight and attempts to steal an AK-47 by stuffing it down his pants. Not exactly smart by any standards. This was captured by the store CCTV camera. In the video, you can hear the judge run through his dumb plan and question the young man’s efforts. This is a prime of example of how far criminals and murderers will go to get their hands on weapons. Taking guns away from responsible citizens to protect themselves will only cause more harm to our society and the people...

Image from strange politics There are two reasons why mass killings have increased during the Obama regime.  They have increased because the regime gives those killers what they want.  The cartoon illustrates these reasons. These killings are rare.  They do not happen often.  There have been a cluster of them during President Obama's terms in office.  There are good reasons for that. There are two types of mass killing that have occurred.  The first is the rampage killer.  These are accomplished by socially isolated mental cases, who hope to obtain a sort of immortality by killing as many people as...

Trump took a very dangerous step by changing his tactics and team at this point, especially since his moves on Monday only empowered his opponent and sowed the seeds of doubt regarding loyalty on his own side In contrast to the “pants on fire” claims by liberal and faux conservative journalists, there hasn’t been a single poll in recent weeks before the firing of Corey Lewandowski that, once corrected for known bias, shows anything other than a Trump-Clinton tie, or even a Trump lead. Polling data last week were staged by the uni-party so the GOPe could use the data...

Because they see their world collapsing and the growing threat of a Donald Trump landslide victory, some people are in a state of full blown panic. One panicky fool said the trashing Barry Goldwater took in 1964 will look “extremely successful” compared to the landslide beating Donald Trump will take in November. At this point you would believe that these people might think before speaking, but panic is a very strong emotion so these naysayers need to have their nose rubbed in reality to get them to shut up. So why is it very likely that Trump will crush Hillary...

We're about to start Round Seven. Here is a replay of the first six rounds... We’re at ringside folks and this should be a good one. Hillary’s backers assumed she’d take the crown without much of a fight, but Trump has other ideas. The Clinton Team is used to delivering hits without their opponents laying a glove on them. But they have never seen the likes of Donald Trump and his “Bum of the Month Club” where he beat sixteen rivals in nine months. He looks fresh. He looks ready. Against Hillary, he says he will “Float like a butterfly...

Bottom line and hard fact is that we are now in the middle of a rapidly heating, spiritual battle A couple of weeks ago a woman working at a sandwich shop on the West Coast was venerated by a local TV station for refusing to do business with some guy who hurled anti-Islamic criticism at a couple of girl patrons wearing hijabs. In the shop’s video, you can hear his disparaging remarks regarding the bad things Islam is bringing upon America. The crusading employee who expelled the name-caller was proud and bubbly as she detailed her defense of the two...

Hillary Clinton has a huge money advantage over Donald Trump, and she’s spending it like a wild banshee. The media is trying to create a narrative that nobody likes Trump enough to send him money. They are banking on making Trump the most unlikeable, unelectable candidate to satisfy their feelings and agenda but Trump is fighting back. Trump knows Hillary is being bankrolled by overseas interests, and he’s going to spread that information around early and often. Remember, the media’s agenda is not to help Trump; it’s to destroy Republicans. Anywhere they can drive a wedge in between the party...

If you’re wondering why Donald Trump is so popular… Republicans are sick of electing good conservatives, only to watch them cave to the bullying tactics of those so very tolerant and nice liberals. One by one, elected Republicans compromise away their principles to sit at the cool kid table. Paul Ryan used to be pretty cool. Speaker Paul Ryan is joining Apple’s Tim Cook for a fundraiser next week in California. A couple of days ago Cook said Apple will not be sending any money to the GOP convention because they do not agree with Donald Trump. I’m sure that...

Let’s get it straight. Government self-interest is opposed to the Constitution and individual freedom. State and individual self-interest - embodied in the Constitution and state and individual freedom - is opposed to government self-interest. By its very nature the central government is against the interests of the states and the people. That is why we have a Constitution, to keep this potential monster in its constitutional cage. Again, let’s get it straight. Political government basically does only one thing well: coerce and kill. Government is VERY GOOD at coercion and killing. A good government, limited by the rule of law,...
