Free Republic

No Trump judges, no voter ID SAVE Act, 50 bills already passed by the house in limbo. Pardon my language, but this guy is a worthless piece of shit. He’s worse than a grifter Democrat. Fetterman has done more for the Republican platform than this weasel. Treacherous rat.

This video, presented by Benny Johnson, discusses a series of claims regarding the political situation in Cuba as of May 2026. The host posits that the country is undergoing a regime collapse driven by economic crises, including severe fuel shortages and power blackouts, and asserts that the influence of Russia in the region is fading. Key themes and claims discussed in the video include: Geopolitical Shifts: The host suggests a "pragmatic trade" is occurring where the U.S. is solidifying its influence in its own hemisphere while acknowledging spheres of influence elsewhere, such as China and Russia. This is framed within...

TRAIN VS. TRUCK: A train collided with a septic truck in Chesapeake, Virginia, leaving the driver miraculously alive and hospitalized for treatment.

Indian academics at a Texas university conspired to exclude an American job-seeker from a tenured job, even to the point of labelling the Asian-American candidate as “white,” says a lawsuit by the Asian-American candidate named Sean Wang. The lawsuit described the alleged anti-American discrimination against Wang at Southern Methodist University: Since Hemang Desai (Indian-origin) became a full professor at SMU in 2006, its Accounting Department has had a systematic pattern of discrimination in tenure decisions. Among candidates of Indian descent who meet SMU’s stated productivity standard of at least four top-tier publications, 100% (2 of 2) were tenured: Neil Bhattacharya...

In California, 90,000 prisoners have been issued computer tablets so they can connect with the outside world. While the tablets are free, usage fees may be charged to inmates. Text messages are five cents each. Video calls are 16 cents per minute. Movie rentals are $9 each and must be viewed within 48 hours. Inmate Grace Coleman complained "we can't afford to pay these normal world prices." State Sen. Josh Becker (D-13th district) agrees and says "it's the injustice of the whole thing. And not only injustice, but also the illogical nature of charging in a world where telecommunications costs...

A neo-Nazi who may have interacted with would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks online revealed himself to be Bjorn Leif Hjelmerud of Norway, The Daily Mail reported. Hjelmerud admitted to being in contact with a “Tom Crooks” YouTube account believed by some to be the 2024 Butler, Pennsylvania, shooter who nearly took the president’s life, the outlet reported citing a text exchange with Hjelmerud. A member of the white supremacist Nordic Resistance Movement, a U.S.-designated terrorist group, Hjelmerud egged on violent comments from “Tom Crooks” about overthrowing the government in a 2020 YouTube comments section. “If a gun and...

The Enemedia heard a threat. But in fact, Xi may be realizing China’s best hope is détente: the map is closing in, America is awake, and the old bluff no longer works.Donald Trump had an exceptionally good China summit this week. Xi Jinping did too. He might even realize it. The Enemedia, of course, is filled with talk of Xi’s “Thucydides Trap” reference, and sees it as a threat. From my point of view, it appears they didn’t actually read Graham Allison’s book (but do reporters actually read books? Little evidence suggests they do). More on that in a minute.Trump...

Ask yourself a question: Why are Democrats so opposed to deporting the millions of illegal migrants who flooded into the country during the Biden administration? They know that illegal immigration propelled Donald Trump to the presidency in 2016. They saw how, after winning back the White House in 2020, Joe Biden’s catastrophic open border policies paved the way for Trump’s return in 2024. And they surely must see the polls showing that Americans overwhelmingly support securing the border and deporting illegal migrants — particularly those with criminal records — even if they disapprove of the way Trump has carried out...

AWESOME!..........Kier Starmer better leave for exile in Uruguay................

When Sen. Bill Cassidy voted to convict Donald Trump following the January 6 Capitol attack, he gave his opponents a five-year grievance to campaign on. He did not expect to show up to his own re-election fight as a spectator. Louisiana Republicans vote Saturday in a Senate primary that looks nothing like what Cassidy’s team planned for. Trump endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow in January and urged her to run. State Treasurer John Fleming, who announced his challenge in December 2024, refused to clear the field. The result is a three-way race in which the incumbent is polling in third place...

This week, a National Public Radio (NPR) headline asserted "new poll finds a majority of Americans unsure if attempts on Trump's life were real." The article went on to disclose that "30% of Americans think at least one of those incidents was staged. Forty-five percent said each of the attempts was real." That leaves about 25% in the "unsure" category. The poll was conducted by NewsGuard/YouGov. NewsGuard has been a left-wing "fact checker" since it was founded in 2018. NPR's federal government funding was recently withdrawn for its consistent left-wing bias. In the July 2024 attempt at a Trump campaign...

Watch Trump's plane from Beijing land, Trump get off the plane to his copter and take off to the White House.

A Democrat dropped out of his primary race after he was caught on video taking campaign literature from a potential voter’s mailbox, WDRB reported Wednesday. Former Democratic Kentucky State Rep. candidate Max Morley is a former public school teacher who “worked on several high-profile political races” and was previously elected to the Kentucky Education Association teacher’s union board, according to a December campaign press release. Morley can be seen removing an opponent’s campaign material from homeowner Doronda Sutherland’s mailbox in security footage posted to Facebook. VIDEO AT LINK................... Morley and Sutherland did not respond to requests for comment. “Our [LMPD]...

Secretary Markwayne Mullin @SecMullinDHS Twelve straight months of ZERO releases at the border. Under @POTUS Trump’s leadership, the days of catch and release are over. We are enforcing our nation’s laws and sending illegal aliens BACK to their home countries. Image Homeland Security and The White House

Leftist psychos ENDLESSLY LOSE in our state DeSantis' chief of staff confirmed it: "Arrested." h/t @FBSaunders

t's a rough time to be working at Facebook, Instagram, or one of Meta's many other properties. Mark Zuckerberg's social media giant will reportedly hand out roughly 8,000 pink slips on Wednesday, May 20, eliminating about 10% of its global workforce. Notably, though, these cuts will arrive on the heels of one of the most lucrative quarters in the company's history: $56.31 billion in revenue and $26.8 billion in net income (1) for the first three months of 2026, per Meta's Q1 earnings filing. For many Meta employees, that stark contrast is apparently driving morale into the dirt. According to...

NYP Reporter: Prior to boarding Air Force One to depart Beijing, the entire U.S. delegation disposed of every item provided to them by their Chinese hosts. Gifts, badges, pins, and commemorative items were all dumped into a trash bin on site. The directive was absolute, no item of Chinese origin was permitted to board the aircraft. The precautions extended beyond the departure itself. Delegation members had left all personal electronic devices at home before traveling to China and operated exclusively on clean burner phones throughout the duration of the trip.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing a surprisingly intense and serious primary threat from challenger Spencer Pratt this election cycle, with Pratt focusing on the wildfires that destroyed much of the Pacific Palisades neighborhood and using the general anger of Los Angelenos about the disastrous mismanagement of their city against the mayor. As part of that well-executed and high-energy campaign, he has been releasing very funny ads that feature the use of artificial intelligence to generate entertaining scenes that call out the mayor for her terrible policies and their even worse effects. Such is about what Mayor Bass freaked...
