Free Republic

The new battle-cry to save a disappearing Republic should begin with the words: “Set our children free”. ...Millions of parents with school-age children will never know their children have been captured and led away. The name of the program set up for the kidnap of all time is so innocent sounding: Common Core. But in typical Marxist fashion, the name can be morphed into a myriad of others when it becomes expedient to keep parents in the dark.... Middlemen advocates in the progressive infrastructure are now trying to palm off the universal standards of Common Core as a “state-led” initiative....

A blockbuster youtube.com video I have viewed (which has since been erased by persons unknown) presents evidence of two Kenyan birth certificates for Barack Hussein Obama. It also suggests at least $35 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars in stimulus funding (American Recovery & Reinvestment Act) in 2008 and 2009 were sent to Kenya in the guise of AIDS vaccine dollars in spite of the fact that Merck & Co. the maker of the drug being funded had halted clinical trials of MRK-Ad5 before the payments were made. “To Pay Back My Homeys” is a red caption the video producer draped...

OWENSBORO - Parents take to the classroom and the subject is new student laptops. Owensboro Public Schools kick off parent training sessions Monday informing parents about new technology students get to take home with them. Each session lasts roughly an hour as parents get to see first hand the new laptops their child will use starting this year. The sessions are being held over the next two weeks at the old Daviess County Public Library, which OPS converted into their new central office. When they attend, parents must pay $50 for a user fee which will go to cover repair...

On August 31, this coming Tuesday, the Muslim Brotherhood-associated “Coordinating Council of Muslim Organizations” (CCMO) will bring 25-30 Muslim leaders of 20 national Muslim groups to attend a special workshop presented by the White House and U.S. Government agencies (Agriculture, Education, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services etc.) to provide the groups “funding, government assistance and resources.” The workshop will apparently provide special access for these Muslim Brotherhood organizations: the organizers pledge to provide “direct access” and “cut through red tape.” Government and Muslim groups will hold an Iftar dinner (breaking the fast of Ramadan) after the workshop.

Butte-Silver Bow County will erect a permanent building in its TIFID for the testing of rocket engines. Kristen Rosa, administrator of the Tax Increment Finance Industrial District, said that the steel-sided structure could be in operation by next spring. "It will help them be able to test bigger and bigger rocket engines," Rosa said. (cut) Space Propulsion Group Inc., a Stanford University-affiliated company, visited Butte a number of times last year to test fuels used in hybrid rockets. The approximately eight-second tests were done on the smaller 11-inch models, but thanks to the new building companies will be able to...

The city of Detroit has turned away thousands of people who lined up Wednesday for a chance to receive stimulus money set aside for homeless and low-income residents. Wednesday at the Cobo Hall was the last day for Detroit residents to get an application for Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program stimulus money. The city said an overwhelming 50,000 people came to the center seeking money that was promised to keep low-income residents from losing their homes and finding temporary housing for the homeless. The massive crowds created a fire and safety hazard and forced the Detroit Police Department to...

Governor Bill Richardson, may have been the Democratic favorite for president in 2008 had Obama and Clinton not run for president and he may have made a great Secretary of Commerce under the Obama Administration had he not been pressured to withdraw his name by federal investigators. Instead, he remains governor of the state of New Mexico which has a 46% high school drop-out rate. Dr. Veronica Garcia, New Mexico’s Secretary of Education said that 40,000 students have

While all Americans should be highly greatful to our troops fighting abroad, American Samoa Congressman Eni Faleomavaega (who is a sometimes voting delegate depending on which party is in charge) to the US House of Representatives says that the funding going to his extremely corrupt territory is merited on the basis of American Samoa's contribution to the war effort.
