Free Republic

What happened to President Obama’s majority? The surface-level answer to this question is simple. Donald Trump won over a supermajority of white working-class voters while holding on to many traditional Republicans, allowing him to win the Electoral College. At the same time, down-ballot Republicans built on their solid showings in 2010 and 2014, which helped them retain control of Congress and significant power in the states.

For more than two years President Donald Trump has talked about pulling the United States out of the landmark Paris climate agreement . Starting Monday he finally can do something about it. Even then, though, the withdrawal process takes a year and wouldn’t become official until at least the day after the 2020 presidential election. […] The terms of the deal say no country can withdraw in the first three years. So Monday is the first time the U.S. could actually start the withdrawal process, which begins with a letter to the United Nations. And it doesn’t become official for...

In a move that sparked debate on social media, Eastpointe police Thursday announced a new local law banning storage of a firearm in an unlocked motor vehicle. The police department posted the ordinance on its Facebook page Thursday afternoon and and by 8 p.m., about 500 people had commented. Eastpointe police said the ordinance, which has been adopted by the City Council, was in response to an "inordinate" number of guns being stolen from unlocked cars or trucks. Its aim is to make gun owners "more responsible." "There is no reason to store a firearm in a vehicle that is...

The clock is ticking faster now. Beto crashed miserably; Kamala’s giggling high-school schtick is embarrassing herself and others; the DNC has run out of handlers for Biden’s frequent episodes; Bernie is still yelling at trees; and now Warren has outed her plan to tax everyone into oblivion to fund her $52 trillion, yes TRILLION, healthcare scheme. Hence, the New York Times jumps into action… Buttigieg is now their latest hope. Quick dispatch all immediate narrative engineers to the typeset: […] Ms. Warren appears to have solidified her gains in the first voting state while Mr. Buttigieg has climbed quickly to...

CUMBERLAND — Kenneth Lloyd wants to buy the Negro Mountain signs, which disappeared from Garrett County roads earlier this year, and install them in his front yard. Negro Mountain occupies a 30-mile stretch of the Alleghenies from Deep Creek Lake north to the Casselman River in Pennsylvania. The ridge in Garrett County reaches 3,075 feet at its peak, and in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, marks the highest point in the state. The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration earlier this year removed four Negro Mountain signs — two from Interstate 68 and two from U.S. Alternate Route 40. “I’m highly...

Fox Info from here.             John Robert Fox (May 18, 1915–December 26, 1944) was killed in action when he deliberately called for artillery fire on his own position, after his position was overrun, in order to defeat a German attack in the vicinity of Sommocolonia, northern Italy...

You have to feel a little sorry for the Left. In 2008 they had the hippest candidate, and for eight years they thought they were the cool kids because they understood pop culture. But the Left does not, and seemingly never has, understood memes the way the Right does. But that’s all about to change thanks to an MIT engineer who supports Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) for president. Misha Leybovich has a plan to save the nation “with selfies and memes.” He already has a write-up in The New York Times and everything, even though he isn’t even officially associated...

WWL radio host Seth Dunlap fired amid NOPD extortion investigation A WWL radio host accused of sending a homophobic tweet aimed at himself from the station’s Twitter account has been fired. NEW ORLEANS — A WWL radio host accused of sending a homophobic tweet aimed at himself from the station’s Twitter account has been fired. Seth Dunlap’s lawyer said Saturday that the station asked him to resign last week and he refused, maintaining his innocence. According to Dunlap’s lawyer, the station fired him two days ago. The NOPD is looking into the allegations that the homophobic tweet sent from the...

The average American has no idea how alarming is the news that former CIA Director John Brennan reportedly created and staffed a CIA Task Force in early 2016 that was named, Trump Task Force, and given the mission of spying on and carrying out covert actions against the campaign of candidate Donald Trump. This was not a simple gathering of a small number of disgruntled Democrats working at the CIA who got together like a book club to grouse and complain about the brash real estate guy from New York. It was a specially designed covert action to try to...

Adam Schiff had a little Freudian slip on Twitter today as he outlined how his impeachment team views President Trump defending himself against baseless accusations. “Efforts to intimidate or threaten witnesses will further build the case for obstruction, itself an impeachable offense.” No-one is “threatening” or “intimidating” a witness, President Trump is asking questions about the credibility of the no-longer-anonymous whistle-blower. However, no whistle-blower has the right to be anonymous. Even the statute that protects whistleblowers only applies to retaliation. It is ridiculous to think whistleblowers can remain anonymous. That said, within the tweeted messaging from Adam Schiff there is...

Amazon Synod means the ‘end of Tridentine Church’: French Catholic newspaper Abigail Eltzroth was 'ordained' April 2017 in North Carolina by rebel Catholic group Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests. November 1, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – The editor-in-chief of the French Catholic daily, La Croix, wrote a blog post on Tuesday announcing the “end of the Tridentine Church.” Isabelle de Gaulmyn presents what she considers to be the outcome of the Amazon Synod, calling it a “real revolution” that will close the door on Catholicism as it has existed for five centuries. Interestingly, she remarked that Pope Francis will probably not...

Rumor in the DC grapevine is that a few weeks ago Tashina Guahar was quietly removed from her position as lawyer for the DOJ National Security Division (in charge of FISA applications). This removal happened immediately after IG Michael Horowitz submitted his first draft report to Attorney General Bill Barr for classification review. Ms. Gauhar now reportedly works for Boeing. If confirmed, GuaharÂ’s exit in advance of the IG report could indicate helpful participation, or DOJ Main Justice may be providing cover to protect Tash Guahar as they did with SSCI Security Director James Wolfe. Keep eyes on a swivel,...

We reported a couple of days ago that it is suspected that Lying Adam Schiff’s ‘whistleblower’ was Eric Ciaramella. We now have some additional evidence on why Ciaramella was referred to as ‘Charlie’ in Strzok and Page texts. As we reported, Dan Bongino put this all together in one of his podcasts – (At about the 10 minute mark Bongino unveils this entire twisted plot.) In April of this year, Senators Grassley and Johnson sent a letter to Attorney General Barr asking him for any information on the following (or perhaps this was their way of encouraging him to look...

A hypothetical matchup between Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden in the Democratic 2020 presidential primary race showed the two nearly tied for the nomination. The poll done by Harvard Harris found that 19% of people would support Biden with 18% supporting Clinton. Without Clinton in the race, the poll found the former vice president pulling in 33% support from Democrats. However, nearly half of his supporters would jump ship to back Clinton if she were to enter the race. Clinton has helped fuel speculation of a potential run and is currently doing a book tour for her latest book, The...

Cardinal Burke: Church is ‘experiencing one of the greatest crises … she has ever known’ DETROIT, November 1, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — Cardinal Raymond Burke told a sold-out Catholic conference in Detroit last weekend that “there is no question that the Church is currently experiencing one of the greatest crises which she has ever known.” “Today perhaps as at no time in the past there is an ever more diffuse phenomenon of general confusion and error regarding doctrine and morals within the Body of Christ,” he told the crowd of 800 at the Oct. 26 Call to Holiness conference in...

Joe Biden’s Catholic Problem His Communion troubles don’t bode well for him. John F. Kennedy was a checkered Catholic, to say the least. But most Catholics didn’t know that or didn’t care, and they voted enthusiastically for him. The checkered Catholics in today’s Democratic Party don’t have it so easy. The useless bishops are still in the tank for them, but members of the laity and a few brave priests have wised up to their lies. In recent years, ironically, the non-Catholic Obama won the Catholic vote while crappy, albeit baptized, Catholics such as John Kerry lost it. Hillary Clinton...

Season 10 episode 5 "What It Always Is":

There is a really weird sound that has been going on for about 30 minutes. It sounds like harmonics in the atmosphere - there are three notes. It’s completely separate from the jets coming from the airport. Can anyone else hear it? I heard it Thursday evening, also. What is it?
