Free Republic

From the day the founding Fathers risked their liberty and life by signing the Declaration of Independence, there has been those who have wanted to sink this great ship called the United States of America. Well 143 years later the good ship America took a torpedo hit that at the time seemed like just another glancing blow. What many still consider the greatest step forward in equality for the sexes, was more then just a glancing blow however. It was in fact a deadly strike that entered the very heart of the ship and has been smoldering since. The...

The White House said on Friday that it could make double monthly child tax credit payments in February, if Democrats' spending plan to extend them doesn't pass Congress before year-end. "We've talked to Treasury and others about doing double payments in February. The president sees this as a priority as soon as Congress returns," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said. The U.S. Treasury paid the last monthly child tax credit payment, $16 billion in total, on Wednesday.

President Trump, after months of refusing to wear a coronavirus face mask in public, posted a photo on Twitter Monday of himself wearing a face mask, declaring “There is nobody more Patriotic than me.” “We are United in our effort to defeat the Invisible China Virus, and many people say that it is Patriotic to wear a face mask when you can’t socially distance,” Trump wrote. “There is nobody more Patriotic than me, your favorite President!”

I wonder what all those silly women who went Democrat in 2018 are thinking right now? We kept hearing about how the suburban women's vote did not like Trump. Well, what do you think of him now, ladies?

First lady Melania Trump’s classy ability to handle attacks on her while keeping the focus on her and the president’s agenda steady is a top reason Republican women are flocking to support President Trump, according to a new survey. In a deep dive into the reasons women back the president, the survey put Trump’s accomplishments and his wife at the top, and said that she is a sign that the president has good “judgment.” The survey from the Frontier Center, provided Friday to Secrets, said, “Female supporters included First Lady Melania Trump as one of Trump’s greatest assets as she,...

Women who live in America’s suburbs are supporting President Donald Trump’s re-election bid, says a new report at OpenSecrets.org, that shows Trump is benefiting from a surge in large-dollar donations from women in suburbs – more than any Democrat candidate. While mainstream media are reporting some polls that suggest Trump is losing the support of women, the report by Open Secrets, part of the Center for Responsive Politics, shows the president has over 10,500 large-dollar contributions from women in suburbs, and has received $8,293,135 from them – the largest amount than any of the Democrat 2020 candidates. “Suburban women, who...

MSM says diverse women hate Trump and his PRO AMERICA agenda. These POWERFUL ladies at the 1st #WalkAwayMarch in DC prove them wrong and are examples of why America is truly beautiful.Why Ladies Love Trump #WALKAWAY & MAGA (Video - First #WalkAwayMarch in DC)

After black women delivered some notable advances for Democrats during last year’s midterm elections, they have emerged as a key voting bloc going into the 2020 presidential race.

I’ve created a new award, “The Dumbest Tweet of the Week,” on my weekly podcast. A recent winner is Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), an aspiring presidential nominee. Gillibrand has come under attack from voices ranging from Dr. Alveda King to the Washington Post opinion page for equating historical racism with people’s wanting to protect the life of the unborn. That illogical snap in her synaptic transmission, as ridiculous as it might have been, is not what earned her the award for Twitter lunacy. Gillibrand’s winning entry was this: “Here’s an idea: If you win 13-0 — the most goals for...

Trump supporters are not only deplorable, they also exhibit a “peevish, racist cruelty,” declares the Guardian newspaper Friday, which makes white women who vote Republican especially guilty. The 53 percent of white women who voted for Trump in 2016 bear out “the conventional wisdom that white women would rather choose the racism espoused by the Republican party than join in the moral coalition represented by men of color and other women,” writes Guardian columnist Moira Donegan in an over-the-top essay.

In case you missed it earlier Wednesday, we highlighted an Election Day piece by Tiana Lowe, who predicted that if the big blue wave didn’t happen, white women would be made the scapegoats by the Left by Wednesday. And she was right. We’ve already done a couple of posts on the “vagina shaming” of conservative women who voted Republican, but the hits just keep coming. Here’s the Atlantic’s Jemele Hill making the exact same argument: that white women are voting against their own interests to preserve the patriarchy.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Standing in an airplane hangar in the mid-autumn chill awaiting the arrival of President Trump, Joan Philpott said she was angry and scared. Only Mr. Trump, she said, can solve the problems she worries most about. “He wants to protect this country, and he wants to keep it safe, and he wants to keep it free of invaders and the caravan and everything else that’s going on,” said Ms. Philpott, 69, a retired respiratory therapist. Ms. Philpott was one of thousands of women who braved a drizzle for hours to have the chance to cheer Mr. Trump...

Lara Trump, daughter-in-law to Donald Trump by marriage to his youngest son, Eric Trump, has said recent furor surrounding Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation as a Supreme Court justice is spurring women on to vote for Republican candidates in the upcoming midterm elections. Speaking on Fox News @ Night on Wednesday, she said women will not be put off by the assault allegations against Kavanaugh or continuous criticism of the president's misogyny despite recent polls suggestions the GOP are losing support from women. Kavanaugh faced a series of sexual misconduct allegations during the Supreme Court justice nomination process, including claims he sexually...

DUBLIN, Ohio — Robert Peters and George Fidelibus walked off the 18th green at the Golf Club of Dublin, then carried pints of beer to the patio overlooking the course, which was framed by $500,000 homes. Their conversation quickly turned to the president. “I’m feeling better and better about him all the time,” said Mr. Peters, 63, a retired engineer, who had once been cool to Mr. Trump. Mr. Fidelibus, 75, a retired banker in a Calloway hat, had also once been skeptical of the president’s bullying and lack of self-control. “I’m a supporter of Trump now,” he said “He...

College educated white women favor Democrats by nearly 27 points in 69 midterm battleground House races, while white women without a college degree favor Republicans by 4 points in those races, according to a poll released Monday. According to the Washington Post/Schar poll of the battleground districts, college-educated white women prefer the Democratic candidate in their districts by an overwhelming 62 to 35 percent. In those same districts, white women without a college degree favor the GOP candidate 49 to 45 percent. That split is also present among all white voters. The difference is less start for college-educated white voters,...

Live weekly phone interview with NBC Fake News "journalist" the Sleepy Eyed F Chuck Todd.

The disconnect between President Trump and female voters is serious and not getting better. That’s a potentially big problem for Republicans in the November elections — but only if the women opposed to the president turn out to vote. Trump’s election divided an already fractured country, deepening the red-blue chasm that has become the defining feature of today’s politics. But the revulsion among many women toward the president adds another layer to the politics of discontent. Trump is doing nothing to mitigate the problem. Just the opposite. A man accused by multiple women of sexual misbehavior, he seems to take...

LEESBURG, Va. — Gina Anders knows the feeling well by now. President Trump says or does something that triggers a spasm of outrage. She doesn’t necessarily agree with how he handled the situation. She gets why people are upset. But Ms. Anders, 46, a Republican from suburban Loudoun County, Va., with a law degree, a business career, and not a stitch of “Make America Great Again” gear in her wardrobe, is moved to defend him anyway. “All nuance and all complexity — and these are complex issues — are completely lost,” she said, describing “overblown” reactions from the president’s critics,...

Still struggling to come to terms with the results of the 2016 election, former first lady Michelle Obama recently said she’s concerned for women and “how we think.” “In light of this last election, I’m concerned about us as women and how we think,” she said at the United State of Women Summit in Los Angeles. “What is going on in our heads where we let that happen, you know?” Obama referred to Clinton as “the most qualified” candidate running for president in 2016, and said voting against her “says something about where we are.” That’s despite the multiple investigations,...

Would America Vote for Oprah for President? The speculation centered on Winfrey’s possible presidential bid – while encouraging on its own – lacks a full assessment of all that Winfrey brings to the table. The experiences of black women, even those that are high-profile, are often constrained by how people view them. By The Conversation April 17, 2018 Would America vote for Oprah for president America has had a black president. Is the country ready for a black president who is also a woman? Speculation about the candidacy of Oprah Winfrey makes clear that some voters think so. Granted, Winfrey...
