Free Republic

Rep. Pete King (N.Y.) is the first House Republican to back a bill in the chamber seeking to ban assault weapons. "They are weapons of mass slaughter," King told the New York Daily News on Monday shortly after his support for the Assault Weapons Ban of 2019 as a co-sponsor became public on Congress's website. “I don’t see any need for them in everyday society,” he added.

Who are these women masquerading as U.S. Representatives? And who the heck is their Public Relations agent? Whoever it is, kudos, dude, you completely own the U.S. media. How else do you get the MSM to present these 2 anti-Semitic harridans as sympathetic gal-pals who only wanted to visit Israel to see gramma and work for peace in the Middle East (sans Jews of course)?Their publicist also successfully manipulated the acquiescent MSM into suppressing the true nature of MIFTAH, the anti-Semitic Palestinian advocacy group with ties to Palestinian terrorism that organized and funded Tlaib and Ilhan’s trip. Instead, the media...

ec President says call for removal without alternative proposal signals support for hard border Donald Tusk has rejected Boris Johnson’s request to strip the backstop out of the Brexit deal, with a thinly-veiled message that the British government was refusing to admit the lack of realistic alternatives. ...Tusk wrote: “The backstop is an insurance to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland unless and until an alternative is found. Those against the backstop and not proposing realistic alternatives in fact support re-establishing a border. Even if they do not admit it.”...A spokeswoman for the commission welcomed the UK...

President Trump’s allegation that Anthony Scaramucci “abused staff” was met with agreement from many who worked under or near the financier during his 11 days as White House communications director. Though fired more than two years ago, Scaramucci’s break with Trump this month surfaced previously unpublished stories of allegedly inappropriate behavior. ... Scaramucci's gravest human resources sin featured telling a female White House official that he heard she was sleeping with a more senior male official, many sources said. The allegation was widely viewed by sources as “gross” and a clear attempt to intimidate and humiliate the woman. A person...

“Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD” (Proverbs 20:10).

Hillary Clinton blasted President Trump for tweeting about what she described as a "debunked study" that suggests "millions" of voters in 2016 were manipulated in her favor by Google. The latest war of words between the 2016 presidential rivals kicked off when Trump tweeted an unverified claim that the search engine giant "manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election." "Report Just Out! Google manipulated from the 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 election! This was put out by a Clinton supporter, not a Trump Supporter! Google should...

Friday, President Donald Trump met in New Jersey with his national security advisers and envoy Zalmay Khalilzad, who is negotiating with the Taliban to bring about peace, and a U.S. withdrawal from America's longest war. U.S. troops have been fighting in Afghanistan since 2001, in a war that has cost 2,400 American lives. Following the meeting, Trump tweeted, "Many on the opposite sides of this 19 year war, and us, are looking to make a deal -- if possible!" Some, however, want no deal; they are fighting for absolute power. Saturday, a wedding in Kabul with a thousand guests was...

Fresh from the same Dept. of Energy and EPA that gave us:toilets that don’t flush; light bulbs that don’t light; dishwashers that don’t wash; plant-based fuel that burns like carrots; and paper straws that dissolve in liquid….  Now we get this: […] Energy Star, the federal program from the DOE and the Environmental Protection Agency, said the coolest you should keep your home is 78 degrees when you’re home.When you’re at work or away, the program recommends setting it at 85 degrees. When you’re sleeping, Energy Star said to set the thermostat at 82 degrees. (link) Setting the thermostat at...

Breaking down the Best Optics for a Hunt - When you think about your most important pieces of gear for big game hunting in Alaska or anywhere, optics top the list. Alaska’s terrain is big and varied, and most game is spotted at a long distance. In order to locate and assess game, evaluate the terrain and plan a safe, effective stalk, quality optics are key. As a rule of thumb, get the best optics you can afford. Quality optics gear is not cheap, but the investment is worth every cent. Since the day I first used them, I fell...

Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Patrol agents have recently experienced vicious, hate-filled rhetoric. Leftist radicals in Congress falsely claimed that these agencies were running Nazi-like concentration camps. The Left wrongly accused them of withholding hygiene products and other necessities. The Left alarmed the country with the patently absurd allegation that agents forced detained women to drink from toilets. None of their claims are true. The chorus of Orwellian chants was perpetuated by the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, who made the inflammatory statements that border and immigration agents were torturing children, and in some cases, murdering...

This story was updated on Aug. 19 at 1:23 p.m. EST to include video of the test. The Defense Department on Aug. 18 conducted a test of an intermediate-range, ground-based cruise missile, about two weeks after the withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. A mobile launcher fired the conventionally configured cruise missile at San Nicolas Island, Calif., and it accurately “impacted its target” more than 500 kilometers away, according to a Pentagon statement. “Data collected and lessons learned from this test will inform the Department of Defense’s development of future intermediate-range capabilities,” the statement reads. The statement alludes to...

Democrats got catfished. Robert Mueller was supposed to be a towering, commanding figure — the man whose hard-nosed investigative diligence would produce a tidal wave of momentum for impeachment. Democrats expected startling revelations from Mueller that would send Members of Congress clamoring to the House floor, crawling over each other to impeach President Trump. Instead, they found themselves squirming with disbelief, as an intellectually disheveled Mueller stumbled through answers, often appearing clueless about the claims made in his own report. The live-action Mueller Report was a flop. Democrats expected a blockbuster but found themselves wishing they could walk out of...

Barron Trump is 13 years old and already taller than his mother Melania, who is 5-foot-11 without high heels, and father, President Donald Trump, who is 6-foot-2. The difference was apparent yesterday when the family walked alongside each other and boarded Air Force One in Morristown, N.J. Boys around 13 years old on average measure around 5-foot-2 and continue to grow until around 17. While his height is extraordinary for a youngster, his style certainly reflects his age. The teen kept his look casual in a black Ralph Lauren shirt, black jeans and white Nike sneakers that featured the Swoosh...

Has this happened to you? A couple of nights ago I was awoken by the sound of a mountain lion howling just outside the kitchen window. If you've never heard this it's a very unique sound. My wife and I talked about it in the kitchen the next morning. My cell phone was sitting on the counter at the time. Last night I was killing time watching random youtube stuff. I decided I wanted to find some videos on mountaineering. I went to search and started typing. I had just started and entered mount.. and the very first suggestion was...

Hillary Clinton is throwing it way, way back to celebrate President Bill Clinton’s birthday. The former first lady and secretary of state, 71, shared a special birthday wish for her husband on social media Monday to mark his 73rd year — and she reached deep into the family vault to do so. “Happy birthday, Bill! 🎂” she captioned her post: a black-and-white shot of a young Clinton wearing a romper and sandals. In the photo, he stands next to an unusually designed birthday cake topped with three candles that appears to be precariously stacked atop an ottoman. A spokesman tells...

Pepe the Frog, a symbol associated with America's alt-right, has emerged as a pro-democracy freedom fighter in Hong Kong. Hong Kong protesters view Pepe the Frog as one of them — a character that can be sympathetic to their cause and struggles. Matt Furie, the artist behind Pepe the Frog, wrote in a Time magazine essay asserting that "I, the creator, say that Pepe is love." Visit INSIDER's homepage for more stories. Pepe the Frog is getting an image makeover this summer. The cartoon frog with the bulging eyes and wide smile has, for years, been associated with America's alt-right...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) And you thought virtue signaling was just for c-list celebrities and politicians on Twitter. – In what is perhaps the biggest collective virtue signal in American history, the CEOs of 180 U.S. companies issued a “statement of purpose” yesterday in which they claim that corporations should prioritize social responsibility over profits. Investors who actually want to see a return on their investment no doubt were somewhat surprised to know that these members of the Business Roundtable, led by J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon, now have a higher priority than ensuring their companies’...

Imagine a group of people who work to destroy Italy because, they claim, Italy's origins are illegitimate. Imagine further that these people maintain that of all the countries in the world, only Italy is illegitimate. And then imagine that these people vigorously deny they are in any way anti-Italian. Would you believe them? Or would you dismiss their argument as not only dishonest but absurd? Substitute "Israel" for "Italy" and "Jew" for "Italian" and you'll understand the dishonesty and absurdity of the argument that one can be anti-Zionist but not anti-Semitic. But that is precisely what anti-Zionists say. They argue...

I’ve always loved the news. When I was a kid growing up in Detroit, I found the AM dial on the radio and was hooked. In the dentist office, I’d always grab Newsweek over Highlights for Kids. Maybe that had something to do with the fact that I’d already done the hidden images in the drawing on the last page, but I really liked the political cartoons and quote page. That’s part of why what news magazines have become is so disappointing to me.I get that they have to make money. But when Newsweek sold for a dollar a few...
