Free Republic

Call me a snowflake, but I need my safe space from David Hogg news. Everywhere I turn this little puke is there. Every time I see some creepy picture of him, my blood pressure rises. We know he is a fraud enjoying his expansive free media coverage. Can stop giving him that coverage here. Hopefully he will be gone in a month and we can move on.

Trump Makes Progressive Democrats Go Left Toward Toward Socialism. Take Trumps putting "Are You a US Citizen" on the next census. The Democrats and their minions scream foul. Yet Trumps move lets us know how many immigrants (non citizens) that we have. How else are we to know so directly. So the Democrats move even further left. Trump say he will use the military to Fund some of the Wall and the same thing happens. Democrats don't care if they go so far left that they don't care about the dead ranchers and the drugs runners pouring across our borders....

By my mother’s reckoning, Lent is over tomorrow at noon, after which we can eat meat, drink, and well, put our Lenten abstentions away for another year. As a family, we observed three hours of silence every Good Friday from noon-3, the traditional time Our Lord and Savior was hung on the Cross. Mom maintained (and enforced) all fasting and abstinence laws from midnight Holy Thursday through Holy Saturday at noon. On Holy Thursday, all Catholic Churches in our town maintained all-night vigils with litanies and novenas. The physically able participated in the traditional Holy Thursday Seven Church Walk, during...

I just read an article today that bureaucrats are blaming President Trump for their increased alcohol consumption. This is hilarious. Bureaucrats are finally being treated with the disdain they've always deserved. They're not appreciated. And they are behaving in much the same way as our campus snowflakes. You see, government employment shields their employees from the vagaries of the market. Unlike private-sector employees, bureaucrats don't have to concern themselves with termination, lay-offs, pay and benefits cuts, and the like. The have a guaranteed lifelong job with over-the-top benefits, Cadillac health-insurance plans, annual cost-of-living increases, and about eight weeks of paid...

An attorney for a former employee of the American Airlines Center in Dallas wants to depose Mavericks owner Mark Cuban regarding allegations of racial discrimination, including an incident involving a noose found at the arena in 2011. Michelle Newsome was fired last year after 13 years with the Arena Operating Company, which manages the American Airlines Center, and she filed a petition Thursday in Dallas County indicating she’s “seeking information regarding Cuban’s knowledge of and/or passive or active encouragement of [or conspiracy regarding] sexual harassment and race discrimination that has been occurring at AAC and adversely affecting employees,” the Dallas...

Laura Ingraham, the Fox News host who was ripped on social media after she mocked Florida school shooting survivor David Hogg for getting rejected by several colleges, apologized Thursday for her remarks. “‏Any student should be proud of a 4.2 GPA —incl. @DavidHogg111. On reflection, in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland,” she wrote on Twitter. “For the record, I believe my show was the first to feature David immediately after that horrific shooting and even noted how ‘poised’ he was given...

President Trump phoned Roseanne Barr Wednesday to congratulate her on the revival of her “Roseanne” sitcom, which was a huge ratings success, according to a report. Trump wanted to personally reach out to Barr, after the reboot of her iconic ABC sitcom drew 18.2 million viewers in its debut on Tuesday, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told the New York Times. A source said the president was impressed by the “huge” ratings of “Roseanne,” which features Barr playing her alter-ego Roseanne Conner – a Trump supporter, like the actress is in real life.

The once Golden State of California has now restricted local law enforcement agencies to work with Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) regarding released criminal illegal aliens. This is contrary to Federal law and its Constitutional jurisdiction. Sanctuary Cities, and now a State, are subjecting our American citizens to further crimes by these repeat offenders. As of January 1, 2018, California law (SB-54) limits all LE agencies in all municipalities to not contact ICE directly when the above criminals are released. There is now a backlash, and it's building. The city of Los Alamitos, the Orange County Council, along with the Sheriff...

Can a school sponsor an event with a political agenda?

Trump is smarter than many realize, or want to admit. He may have actually won by signing the bill many of us hate. Follow me. To begin with, you need to understand that the bill President Trump signed, was NOT a Budget. It was an Omnibus Spending bill. The President is directed by the Constitution to adhere to a Budget that Congress approves. A ‘spending bill’ is not the same as the Federal Budget. This bill is just a another Continuing Resolution to keep the government functioning, but this time for 6 Months. As such, he is not bound...

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around this liberal logic. It's been proven over and over again that the police can't protect you when a psychopath enters a gun-free killing zone with murder on his pea-sized brain. They can't get there in time and even if they do, it's often too little, too late, or they're just too afraid to enter the building while there's an active killer on the rampage. The government cannot or will not protect you. So the liberals put big signs on the school house doors saying, "This is a gun-free zone. No guns allowed!"...

It's either Yes or No, Mr. POTUS, Donald J. Trump. Sir, you are the human being in this God's world put there by the American people to save this once magnificent Nation Republic. A profile in courage awaits your pen killing this monster of destruction of the American Republic..case closed!!! Veto that bill!!!

President Trump said Thursday that he wants to sit for an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team, which is investigating Russian election meddling and possible collusion with his campaign. “Yes. I would like to. I would like to,” he said in response to a reporter’s question during a White House event announcing tariffs on China. Team Trump has ping-ponged about whether the president would agree to an interview. The president in the past has said he would like to, but has also called for Mueller’s probe to be shut down, as has his ex-lawyer John Dowd, who quit on...

All that matters to the center-Left is whether Silicon Valley will keep them in power. ‘Make no mistake: 2016 will never happen again.” Historians are not always reliable predictors of the future, but Niall Ferguson’s analysis of how Silicon Valley and the center-Left would react to the successive and surprise victories of Brexit and Donald Trump is proving correct. Conservatives and populists will not be allowed to use the same tools as Democrats and liberals again, or at least not use them effectively. Silicon Valley is working with its media and governmental critics to limit the damage to the center-Left...

On the first day of spring, the fourth nor’easter in a month is barreling toward the Big Apple, where it is expected to dump as much as 10 inches of snow and disrupt travel Wednesday. A winter storm warning is in effect from 12 a.m. Wednesday until 8 a.m. Thursday, with heavy snow and winds of about 45 mph expected, according to AccuWeather. “The wintry mix during the evening commute will change to all snow overnight (Wednesday) as the temperatures fall to the upper 20s,” AccuWeather meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski said. The snow will intensify during the day Wednesday and is...

Now that an Arizona woman was killed after being struck by a self-driving Uber vehicle many questions come to mind not that they shouldn’t.We live in Pittsburgh, lots of hills, and lots of snow and ice.There are times when we have difficulty controlling a car in those conditions (our weather forecast is for 6 inches of snow later today and tonight). A couple months ago my wife, after driving to and from work in terrible road conditions, wondered how a self-driving car would handle it. What do you think of these self-driving cars navigating snow and ice?

I walked by the television this morning and saw Trump's picture and the block letters "FACEBOOK SCANDAL" in red on a blue background. The sound was turned down, but the earnest-appearing, attractive young woman in a tight black form fitting dress was clearly portraying the appropriate gravity for this "situation". It was the same thing I saw last night before going to bed, an older, serious looking man with a similar backdrop and identical grave look on his face. Again, the sound was turned down, but it is clear there is a real problem in American society right now. And...

In one of ABC News’ “18 for '18” races, the fight for the identity of the Democratic Party between its progressive and establishment wings has spilled into Illinois 3rd Congressional District where Blue Dog Democrat Dan Lipinski is facing a challenge from activist Marie Newman, who has the backing of Sen. Bernie Sanders, EMILY's List and a handful of labor groups. Money has dominated the high-profile gubernatorial primaries in the state — $100 million has been spent already on the Republican and Democratic sides. Gov. Bruce Rauner, likely the most vulnerable GOP incumbent governor in the nation, has been dogged...

What the heck is Tucker smoking? He claimed that “Trump” fired McCabe? Jeff Sessions fired McCabe on the recommendation of the FBI IG.
