Free Republic

2020 isn’t a normal year and it certainly isn’t a normal election. You see, normal elections are marked by Democrats attempting to buy votes with an endless array of government handouts, freebies, special interest priorities, or any number of other big government promises. Historically in a normal election year, the Republican message has been focused, in large part, on simply counter-messaging the Democrats’ false promises. In the past this has left Republicans appearing milquetoast and created a scenario where the Democrat-controlled media could force national Republicans into a defensive position, rendering them poorly equipped to offensively control the narrative. But...

Joe Biden, during a speech to the U.S Conference of Mayors on Saturday, claimed he was elected to the Senate “180 years ago. He seemed to realize what he said but did not correct himself. Breitbart noted that, ff that was true, Biden would have been in the Senate in 1840 with the likes of John C. Calhoun, James Buchanan, Franklin Pierce, and Henry Clay. On Friday, Biden appeared on MSNBC but lost his train of thought and host Stephanie Ruhle bailed him out: “For example, the paycheck protection act. You know, one percent of the money has gone out....

Rep. Omar posted a tweet shortly after midnight that linked to Trump’s calling for an investigation. It included a video of a game show contestant unveiling a card showing $750, a reference to a New York Times report that said the president paid that amount in federal income tax in 2016.

A woman who says she became an evangelical pastor because of her “love for performing” is now a hit on OnlyFans as a stripper—and fulfilling her childhood dream, she told the New York Post. Nikole Mitchell, who grew up Baptist, told the Post she had “always fantasized about being a stripper” and has also come out as bisexual. “But I was indoctrinated to believe my desires and my body were innately sinful and bad,” the 36-year-old said. Her upbringing was fiercely conservative and taught her that women can’t be leaders and that their place is in the kitchen. “So...

The hard Left believes its mission is so critical, so morally superior, that all means can be justified to achieve its noble ends. And so almost every institution that the Left has in its line of vision is now petrifying. There was once a tradition of Democratic liberalism. But that wing of the Democratic Party no longer exists and died sometime in the 1990s. Old-style liberalism has been absorbed by Progressivism at best and unapologetic socialism at worst—in a journey on the supposedly predetermined arc of history that bends toward 1984. The new-old leftist aim is not to operate within...

1. Add up all the payroll taxes, and other federal taxes that he paid each year for the last 20 years. That number will be HUGE. Simply say, "That is fake news" IF they really have my tax returns they would see that every year in the last 20 years we have paid the federal government no less than x number of dollars. 2. Also add, "The press only writes fake headlines because they know that most people will not read the entire story. Notice what the headline did not say. The headline did not say that Donald Trump did...

September 28, 2020 Monday of the Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Reading 1 JB 1:6-22 One day, when the angels of God came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan also came among them. And the LORD said to Satan, “Whence do you come?” Then Satan answered the LORD and said, “From roaming the earth and patrolling it.” And the LORD said to Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job, and that there is no one on earth like him, blameless and upright, fearing God and avoiding evil?” But Satan answered the LORD and said, “Is it for nothing that...

Leftists are attempting to sell the narrative that a Justice Amy Coney Barrett will instantly end Roe v. Wade, the premier Supreme Court decision governing a woman’s right to abortion. This is an untrue scare tactic used by liberals to control the narrative. Removing personal opinions and politics from the controversial conversation and inserting legal facts into the discussion will easily illustrate that this argument is FALSE. First of all, the Supreme Court is not forced to take any case on any topic. Parties unsatisfied with lower court decisions can petition the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their case or...

Over the last decade, two of the most significant topics in defense research and development have been directed energy systems and hypersonic weapons. The Department of Defense and its major contractors have been pushing the boundaries of what is possible with these technologies and those efforts could someday soon literally change the face of warfare forever. As it turns out, these two cutting edge areas of defense research are beginning to converge in laboratories with the goal of enabling unprecedented levels of speed for aerial weapons. By combining advanced directed energy technology with the latest in hypersonic vehicle design, researchers...

Why are liberals angry at Trump for using a tax loophole that was signed into law by Obama? As a Libertarian, I’m against tax loopholes. I want the tax code to be as simple as possible, and with marginal tax rates as low as possible.Democrats prefer higher marginal tax rates, so they can claim that they want to “soak the rich.”But at the same time, these Democrats also favor giving rich people all sorts of loopholes, writeoffs, and deductions, so they don’t actually have to pay those taxes.And now, liberals are angry at Trump for using a tax loophole that was...

With 60 days to go before the election, James O’Keefe, of Project Veritas, has dropped a bombshell: He’s got incriminating video exposing the ballot harvesting corruption that is the norm in Ilhan Omar’s Ward 6 in Minneapolis. It’s blatant, and it’s completely illegal. With the help of a courageous whistleblower, undercover video, and hidden camera videos, the latest Project Veritas video reveals that Omar’s campaign is up to its eyeballs in ordering absentee ballots for elderly people, filling out the ballots her favor or for someone else in her clan, and then submitting them. A lot of money changes hands...

Amy Coney Barrett refuses to identify as a “role model.” But one title she readily accepts is “mentor.”  On September 26, President Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Even before her nomination, media outlets attacked Judge Barrett as anti-woman and “anti-choice.” Several went so far as to incorrectly assume that her faith inspired The Handmaid’s Tale, a 1985 dystopian novel that imagines a country run by Christian fundamentalists where female “handmaids” are raped and forced to bear children. And yet, if they removed their politically-colored lens, the media...

THE HAGUE (REUTERS) - One of four suspects being tried in absentia for the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 has denied any involvement with firing or supplying the missile used in its destruction, a lawyer said in court on Monday (Sept 28). MH17 was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it was shot down by a missile fired from territory held by pro-Russian rebels during fighting in eastern Ukraine. All 298 people aboard were killed. After an international investigation lasting nearly six years, four defendants went on trial in absentia in March, of whom only Oleg Pulatov...

The woke mobs are battling phantoms from America's past, while they are simultaneously, and aggressively, establishing a new racist status quo. After a grand jury decision yielded no indictments for murder against the officers involved in Breonna Taylor's death, social justice warriors sprang into action. Strategically placed U-Haul vehicles, full of protest signs and riot shields, were located by the rioters after the decision was announced. Like so many other American cities in 2020, the city of Louisville was beset by arson, thievery, and violence at the hands of woke mobs, AKA Democratic Party voters. Kentucky attorney general Daniel Cameron...

On the face of things, the July 2016 murder of Seth Rich had intrigue enough for a full season of House of Cards. Unknown assailants gun down the young DNC data analyst at 4 A.M. on a Washington, D.C., street and take nothing. Two weeks later, international man of mystery Julian Assange strongly suggests on Dutch TV that Rich was his source for the purloined DNC emails then roiling the Democratic Party and offers a $20,000 reward to find the killer. Three days before the November election, Assange reportedly tells liberal media analyst Ellen Ratner that Rich was indeed his...

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to have agreed to star in a fly-on-the-wall Netflix reality series with cameras following them for three months. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are hoping to 'give people a glimpse into their lives and see all the charity work they do', according to a source. It comes after the royal couple signed a £112million Netflix deal to make TV series, films and children's shows for the streaming service.

... The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania a number of years ago developed a comprehensive and substantive platform for evaluating the federal budget. This model was built so that those who govern and those who are governed could have an accurate and reasonably unbiased analysis of federal fiscal activities. It is one of the most useful and effective tools around for figuring out just what the federal government and the various players who lead it in the Democratic and Republican parties are really up to. The conclusion, after reviewing the opening bids put forward by Biden and his...

Imagine the panic our medical overlords, hand-wringing politicians, and a complicit media could create if they started treating the common rhinovirus like they are treating COVID-19 right now. For starters, maybe they change the name to something super-scary sounding, like COVID-20 (shudder). Then they start shouting from the hilltops about how deadly this thing is. To prove it, they start a massive ultra-sensitive testing regime whereby anyone with a scratchy throat is gaslit into getting a test, for which tens of thousands a day test positive and are subsequently quarantined for weeks. Finally, anyone who tests positive and dies, no...
