From the beginning, the makers of the live-action Mulan remake promised the story of a heroine who embodied girl power. And yet, to tell this story, Disney worked with those accused of torturing women in barbaric ways – ways unique to their sex.  Female empowerment, in other words, is sometimes just a Disney fairytale.Earlier this month, calls to boycott Disney made headlines after the company thanked Chinese government agencies in the film credits of Mulan. That’s because eight of those entities are located in Xinjiang, where China is charged with committing grave human-rights abuses – if not genocide – against the Uighur Muslims. The U.S. government and human-rights...

The following was published in Facebook on September 16, 2020: Vote NO on September 20 in Italy Shifting the Power to the Elite Dear friends, vote NO on September 20 (in Italy). It seems a good thing (disguised) to send home 200 members of parliament, these parasites. (Note: When pasting this document into Free Republic, it seems that most of the special formatting is lost, such as bold, italics, underlined words and embedded links.

Leo Guinan (“he/him”) has bravely and smugly gone public with his decision to blackmail his father for being a Trump supporter. Unless daddy changes his ways, he’ll never see his grandchildren again. Guinan oozes self-righteous hatred. The only good thing about his post is that people were appalled and contemptuous. Guinan describes himself in glowing terms: Trying to share my experiences in a way that might help others. I can change the world. I will change the world. Even if for a single person. He/Him. This wonderful human being wrote a now-viral post entitled, “Today I Gave My Dad A...

Our family’s visit to a Virginia restaurant the other day wasn’t particularly unusual in the coronavirus era, although that state’s requirements are more stringent than most. The staff were all wearing masks and, in this case, plastic gloves as well. The iced tea bin was behind the counter where customers couldn’t touch it, and Virginia restaurants are apparently required to give customers a new plastic cup for every refill. (Somehow, the left went from banning plastic straws to probably tripling the amount of plastic waste generated by restaurants but hey, there could be a .000001% less chance of someone possibly...

Prayers up for all the families suffering from the impact of this virus. And we're praying that the spread continues fading and that an effective treatment and vaccine are developed before the next flu season starts. And we pray that our people are able to go back to work in greater and greater numbers as the great Trump economy comes roaring back. And I believe we the people are going to tire real soon about the democrats allowing the radical leftist revolutionary blackshirt/brownshirt squads of their party using violent organized fascist tactics to rampage, riot and burn our once beautiful...

Pittsburgh Steelers player Maurkice Pouncey honored Eric Kelly on his helmet Sunday against the Broncos. Pouncey took the field against Denver wearing Kelly’s name on the back of his helmet after most of the team wore Antwon Rose Jr.’s name last week. According to TribLive.com, Kelly was a Pittsburgh police officer killed in the line of duty back in 2009 while responding to a call about two other officers being killed. You can see a photo of Pouncey’s helmet in the tweet below. This is a classy move from Pouncey. Last week, the majority of the Steelers wore Antwon Rose...

At the end of Nov. 3, hundreds of thousands of ballots will likely remain left to count in key states, particularly Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. It will be nearly impossible for election clerks on Election Day to count the record number of absentee and provisional ballots that are anticipated to be cast in those three states, as well as in other crucial battlegrounds. Election officials in many states are underfunded and under-resourced, and in some by law are not allowed to begin counting ballots until Election Day. Polling and absentee ballot request data from some states show that Democratic voters...

It’s just the flu, bro. https://twitter.com/ritapanahi/status/1307613159063080960?s=21 See above for image of newborn babies in the infant holding area in a labor and delivery hospital wing. These babies are all wearing face shields in order to prevent the spread of the “deadly” Coronavirus. I think this might be India so it helps to show that the biggest idiots in the world actually aren’t American leftists. - Fewer than 300 USA CV deaths yesterday which is one of the lowest daily numbers since March. Hard to read too much into one day but I am giving the Impimp guarantee of much lower...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Lambs, Sheep, and Shepherds. Genesis 27 Jacob Marries Leah and Rachel After Jacob had stayed with him for a whole month, 15 Laban said to him, “Just because you are a relative of mine, should you work for me for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be.” 16 Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17 Leah had weak[a] eyes, but Rachel had a lovely figure and was beautiful. 18 Jacob was in love with Rachel and said, “I’ll work for you seven...

The harassment campaign against Gardner did not begin with the rioter that he shot in self-defense, but it may have been the reason that the mob was at his bar smashing his windows in the first place. For years, the far-left in Omaha has been targeting Gardner for supporting President Donald Trump and for building a third, unisex, bathroom in his bar for transgender customers to use. Garner was a Marine and veteran of deployments to Iraq and Haiti. He described himself as a libertarian, but voted for President Donald Trump in 2016 and volunteered for his campaign in three...

September 21, 2020 Feast of Saint Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist Reading 1 EPH 4:1-7, 11-13 Brothers and sisters: I, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace: one Body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all...

If our media was not a bubbling cauldron of dung, Grandpa Badfinger would be getting hit with real questions instead of being lobbed inane softballs like “Some people say Trump is literally Hitler, while others say he is only figuratively Hitler – what kind of Hitler do you think Trump is?”  But our media is a bubbling cauldron of dung, and these hacks are never going to ask that crusty crustacean the kind of questions the American people want – and need – to hear answered. And preferably without them having been pre-screened and typed into a teleprompter.Now, with Ginsberg dying...

Joe Biden today is a puppet of the Democrat Leftist Alinsky radical socialist wing. AOC and Biden have appeared together advocating the radicalization of our citizenry over political issues such as filling RBG's vacant SCOTUS seat. When we look back, we see a very different Joe Biden, and so, when we view that video, we can see just how radical Joe now has become, how Joe toees himself as a sail to whatever ideological ride to power happens to come along. Watch this video and decry the psychopomp that is Joe Biden, They ALL belong in the dust bin of...

A new poll suggests the race for the White House between Democratic nominee Joe Biden and President Donald Trump is getting closer in the battleground state of Florida with just a 2 point gap between the two candidates. Biden has the edge of Trump, 48 percent to 46 percent according to a new poll by CBS News that was published on Sunday. But the Democrat's lead has been slashed, after a similar poll in July showed him to be 6 points in front.

BEIJING (Reuters) - China’s air force has released a video showing nuclear-capable H-6 bombers carrying out a simulated attack on what appears to be Andersen Air Force Base on the U.S. Pacific island of Guam, as regional tensions rise. The video, released on Saturday on the People’s Liberation Army Air Force Weibo account, came as China carried out a second day of drills near Chinese-claimed Taiwan, to express anger at the visit of a senior U.S. State Department official to Taipei. Guam is home to major U.S. military facilities, including the air base, which would be key to responding to...

A few weeks ago, the slogan was "defund the police" and hire more social workers. Now, the real threat to citizens in blue cities is who wants to work as a police officer? Sadly, the left has accomplished what "defund the police" could not do. They have destroyed police forces by encouraging more and more officers to leave the force. Over the weekend, Portland's Mayor Wheeler got a taste of what happens when you don't support the police. as we see in this post by Victoria Taft: And now they are leaving. The cops, not the rioters. Nope, the county’s...

A large majority of Americans believe it's time for Joe Biden to provide his list of Supreme Court candidates, just like President Trump did. A new Scott Rasmussen poll released Sunday found 59% of likely voters think the Democratic presidential nominee should reveal who he would nominate to the nation's high court if he wins the presidency. Sixty-six percent of Democrats want Biden to announce his Supreme Court picks, as do 57% of Independents and 52% of Republicans, the poll found.

. Rob Roy is the owner of Rob Roy Auto in Salisbury, Massachusetts, and he has a rather unusual hobby. Besides being a businessman, he likes to stir up political drama with some of his homemade signs that he posts outside his shop. He has been doing this for years, but it is his latest choice of signs that seems to be getting him in some hot water. There is no question that Roy is proud of some of the signs that he has posted, including one of his controversial ones, which was a picture of a Confederate flag...

The mouth-frothing rage of Democrats over the possible filling of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat on the Supreme Court before Inauguration Day is shocking, but predictable, after the “Summer of Love” we’ve endured. Now they’re threatening to “burn it all down” if Republicans fill the vacancy soon. Hysterical RBG cultists holding vigil in Washington on Saturday night warned of a “civil war.” Threats to kill Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell flooded Twitter, and dozens of police had to guard his Kentucky home as protesters descended. It wasn’t just random psychopaths on social media threatening to “storm the White House and burn...
