Free Republic

Just type the words IRS, Christian, and Bible in your search engine and you’ll get a flood of results, most of them starting with headlines like this: “IRS denies Christian nonprofit tax exemption, saying biblical values are Republican.” Or this, “IRS denies tax-exempt status to Christian nonprofit group because 'Bible teachings are typically affiliated with the Republican Party'.”Naturally, there has been outrage among Christian conservatives over this ruling, pointing to this yet another example of the IRS’s anti-Christian, anti-conservative bias. That’s also why most of the commentary has focused on the egregious ruling itself, which is being appealed.Yet, in the...

On 16 June, 2021, Governor Greg Abbott signed HB 1927, the Texas Constitutional Carry bill. Governor Abbott will have a separate signing ceremony on 17 June at 11 p.m. From the texan.news: The governor’s office released a media advisory stating that Abbott would sign HB 1927 and several other pro-Second Amendment bills during a ceremony at the Alamo on Thursday.Constitutional Carry is a reasonable approximation of the state of the law when the Second Amendment was ratified in 1791. At that time, no permit was needed by any state or the federal government, to carry weapons, openly or concealed, in...

This jumble of words took up an entire page in the Sunday New York Times and San Francisco Chronicle and other major newspapers. It’s a farce in three acts. First, someone wrote it. Second, someone thought it was good. Third, someone paid for numerous full page ads that run $50,000 to $200,000 or more a pop.

We’ve all been there – or most of us have – during these last 16 months. We’ve wondered, “Am I the crazy one or has the world gone crazy?” We were subjected to astounding mandates among which were restrictions on movement, commerce, travel, even worship. Government officials shut down vast amounts of society and told us that it was necessary and really a normal thing to do because of the public-health emergency. “I've been the object myself of a phenomenal amount of hostility,” Anthony Fauci told Chelsea Clinton on her podcast, “merely because I'm promoting what are really fundamental, simple...

As U.S. Catholic bishops draft a controversial document on whether priests can deny communion to politicians who support abortion, one House Democrat has warned that the Catholic Church could lose its tax-exempt status if churches institute such a ban. “If they’re going to politically weaponize religion by ‘rebuking’ Democrats who support women’s reproductive choice, then a ‘rebuke’ of their tax-exempt status may be in order,” wrote Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., in a Twitter post lashing out at Catholic bishops. Huffman's post came after nearly 60 House Democrats released a “statement of principles to warn the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) under President Joe Biden has thrown its weight behind legal challenges to two state laws that defend fairness in women’s sports amid the transgender revolution. “The United States has a significant interest in ensuring that all students, including students who are transgender, can participate in an educational environment free of unlawful discrimination and that the proper legal standards are applied to claims under Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause,” the DOJ claims in a “statement of interest” supporting a challenge to the West Virginia law protecting women’s sports, the Daily Mail reported. “A state...

Sen. Lindsey Graham blasted the Biden administration for trying to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal following the election of a hard-line judge as the country’s president — even as Israel’s new prime minister warned the US to “wake up” to the dangers of negotiating with the regime. “There are no moderates on the ballot in Iran. The ayatollah is a religious Nazi, he controls the place. Religious zealots run the place. Why in the world do you want to give massive enrichment capability to the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, I don’t know,” Graham (R-SC) said on...

Demonic activity SUPERABOUNDS today but will only EXPONENTIALLY intensify in the very near future! The background (Rev. 6, 8; 9:1-12:1) - has now been set for the introduction of the sixth Trumpet and the Quad Demonic War (i.e., the Second Woe)! As the multitudes of earth’s inhabitants feel the horrific judgments and plagues of Almighty God from the last three years of the first half of the seven-year tribulation and the destructive outworking of evil men and the oppressive tyrannical torture of the demonic devouring locust of First Woe (Rev. 9:1-12), the remaining world’s inhabitants will have to brace themselves...

American universities have become completely leftist in outlook, something that is depriving students of both knowledge and wisdom. Moreover, they intend to stay that way, as demonstrated by a single question they ask applicants seeking teaching positions, a question that will stop the process dead in its tracks when the applicant is a conservative. In 2006, I moved to Europe to become a university lecturer. I was one of three co-founders and the chair of the art department at a school for game developers in the Netherlands. In that role, I hired and supervised our teachers, developed the curriculum, helped...

Now that six months have passed since Donald Trump was forced out of the White House by a man who might go down in history as the Great Pretender, we're starting to see a certain headline (or variations thereof) with increasing frequency: "Trump was right!" This most recent iteration is about California's work to prevent another fire season as bad as the ones in 2018 and 2020. It turns out that California is now following President Trump's prescription, which was to thin out forest undergrowth to diminish the fuel. But Trump's been right about several more things, and I'm sure...

Democrats will either have to jettison elements of the Biden agenda, or cram their entire legislative package into one bill.An advisory ruling from an obscure Washington official last week might complicate the Biden administration’s efforts to push trillions of dollars in new taxes and spending.Multiple news stories confirmed the opinion from the Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, which was not released publicly. In sum, it presents Democrats a potentially difficult decision later this year: they will either have to jettison elements of the Biden agenda, or cram their entire legislative package into one bill—turning it into a “Christmas tree” that could...

NBC anchor Chuck Todd said Sunday on “Meet the Press” that the outrage parents are experiencing over critical race theory was “manufactured.” PBS reporter Amna Nawaz said, “Specific to this idea of critical race theory. I spent time reporting on this county in Virginia about an hour outside of Washington. To your point, this is something mobilizing people and resonating very deeply. It was about a 100-degree day, dozens and dozens and dozens of parents, mostly white in this largely affluent county, showed up to a school board meeting, for in the first one they attended, specifically because of this...

The hour in we live in today is EXPONENTIALLY growing more godless and lawless beyond all that we could ever imagine! All these signs should be a sign to all that the Battle of Armageddon is absolutely nigh and at hand! The Battle of Armageddon will commence near the end of the seven-year tribulation period, in which a sin ravished “EXPONENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC” world’s remnant (DRIVEN BY SUPER DEMONIC FORCES) will march to war against Almighty God and His ETERNAL sovereignty over His creation (Joel 3:2,12, Zech. 12:2, Rev. 16:13-16). This global remnant of rebellious humanity of the ravished world at...

Cape lifeguards told people to get out of the water for the second straight day Sunday, as great white shark sightings start to pick up along the shore just in time for the official start of summer. Cape Cod National Seashore lifeguards at Truro’s Head of the Meadow Beach blew their whistles late Sunday morning with the appearance of a shark offshore. “A temporary no-swimming order has been issued by CCNS Lifeguards at Head of the Meadow beach,” the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy’s Sharktivity app alert reads. “Beach-only activities permitted,” the shark alert continues. “This order will expire after one...

The granddaughter of legendary jazz singer and civil rights activist Nina Simone is accusing Vice President Kamala Harris of stealing the family estate and giving it to “white people.” She claims that Harris “bullied” her mother in court to the point of near suicide. “Nina’s granddaughter here,” ReAnna Simone Kelly tweeted on Saturday after someone asked why a Twitter account was created for the late singer. “My family doesn’t run her estate anymore. It was taken away from us [and] given to white people. Our family name was DRAGGED in the media. We get NO royalties, nothing. Wanna hold someone...

Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” network host Al Sharpton addressed what he referred to as “latte liberals,” who he described as liberals who are not aware of the progress being made in the black community as they sit in the Hamptons and drink lattes. Sharpton lamented that a particular group of liberals has “taken advantage” of the “pain” of black people and people of the LGBTQ community rather than trying to ease their pain.

A study released this month from MOXY, a "non-partisan social ecosystem," found that most Americans would fail a citizenship test. A total of 1,033 responses were collected online from May 28 through June 2, to test respondents ability to pass a citizenship test required for those applying for naturalization. In total, only 42 percent passed. Independents by far did the best, with 54 percent passing. The passing rate was 44 percent for Republicans and just 35 percent for Democrats. The breakdown by party affiliation came down to 19.53 percent of Independents, 39.65 percent of Republicans, and 39.84 percent of Democrats....

Refinery29, a Vice publication aimed at young, female progressives, is making up for questions about its perceived anti-Black bias by embracing the radical fringe of the Black liberation movement and lying about American history. In its latest apologia, Refinery29 offers “White Lies My Textbooks Taught Me” by Shirley Williams. Get it? White lies? Well if you don’t, hold on, you will. Williams, a documentary filmmaker, has a problem with what she perceives as “White” versions of history. But if you scratch past the surface, you’ll see the problems with her version of history are much more than skin deep. “The...
