Free Republic

I have noticed a growing trend at my workplace. Many people are taking advantage of getting sick and staying how for weeks. My HR said you get 80 hours for covid if you get sick.. plus by law your HR can not tell you were to take the covid test. So it if takes days or goodness knows how long so be it One coworker who is 21 already got sick twice and used the 80 hours. Covid test was negative TWICE. Sat at home for weeks. Lady in the legal dept did the same and both tests were negative....

A Republican super PAC, aligned with the party’s Senate leadership, will infuse $9 million into the Senate race in Michigan where incumbent Democrat Gary Peters faces GOP challenger John James. The Senate Leadership Fund is placing the buy Thursday, and the spots will air statewide beginning Saturday on TV and radio. SLF President Steven Law called James “an incredibly impressive advocate for Michigan families and jobs who is taking the fight to Peters for leaving Michiganders hanging in a pandemic.”

The Black Lives Matter movement will develop an armed branch of “peace officers” to combat police brutality in black communities during the so-called war on police, according to one of its leaders. Protests broke out across the country following the death of unarmed Minneapolis black man George Floyd while in police custody, bringing the BLM movement back into national focus. In an interview with the Daily Mail, BLM New York chapter Chairman Hawk Newsome described how the group plans to follow in the footsteps of the Black Panthers Party by matching fire with fire – when necessary. The move is...

Here we go, folks. This election will determine whether we continue on as a free Republic with the Constitution and the rule of law preserving our republican form of government as established and continue guaranteeing our God-given Liberty. If we lose this election, the radical democrats will attempt to carry out their plans to pack the courts and do what they wish without constitutional restraints. Then if they succeed in subduing the people (we do have a prior claim per the Declaration) then America would soon be transformed into a third world socialist hellhole. Thank God for President Trump and...

The folks who are the most irredeemably Republican are small business owners. The folks who embrace the new Democratic Socialism and the general concept of bigger government are a mixture, but one of the wealthiest components of that mixture has been people who inherited money. People who didn’t have to work for the money don’t seem nearly as worried about the negative effects of government restrictions on the market, e.g., minimum wage (make it illegal for those with low skill levels to work), more lavish welfare handouts (make it irrational for those with low/medium skill levels to work), and higher...

My Dear FReeper Friends, I pray that this devotional for today brings you all the love, hope, peace and joy that the Lord Jesus Christ promises to all who believe in Him, and accept Him as their Lord and Savior. To those who are undecided, to those who have had so much pain in their lives that they have reasoned that the Lord God has forgotten them, to any who have outright rejected the Gospel of Christ Jesus, this I say to you: Jesus LOVES you more than anyone on earth can ever love you, and He willingly came to...

Political debates only reveal a candidate's abilities and beliefs if we can follow what's going on. Let's auto-mute mics for candidates not on the clock. Of the many things this nation must reaffirm, itÂ’s that words matter and promises should be kept. If former Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump stick to the commitments their campaigns agreed to months ago, Americans will have the option to sit through two more presidential debates this year.As soon as is possible, however, the Commission on Presidential Debates must ensure a return to an informative, meaningful, and respectful discussion between the candidates...

A Democratic lawmaker from Ohio has become the latest Democrat to break from their own party to endorse President Donald Trump for the election over "divisive" Joe Biden. Democratic Ohio State Rep. Bernadine Kennedy Kent endorsed President Trump ahead of the debate Tuesday night, citing his “commitment to ensuring the success of the black community.”

Recently, Scientific American endorsed Joe Biden for president. They claimed that Trump is a science denier, as shown by his response to the COVID crisis. As such, they deemed Trump unfit to care for U.S. citizens: “The evidence and the science show that Donald Trump has badly damaged the U.S. and its people — because he rejects evidence and science.”Nonsense. “Science” doesn’t show anything. Scientists do. And scientists are like the rest of us — biased and contentious. Exhibit A: Scientific American.We often think of scientists as dispassionate observers — a unique type of person who observes, thinks, and...

With Fox News host Chris Wallace being heavily criticized for his bias towards Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden during the first face-off between the latter and President Donald Trump on Tuesday, September 29, social media users were curious as to who will be the moderators for the next two debates. NPR media correspondent and host of On Point Radio David Folkenflik was one of the people who had part of the answer. "Just a reminder folks. The most decent man in DC, Steve Scully of C-SPAN, is next presidential debate moderator. How the hell is *that* going to work?" Another...

Chris Cuomo and Ted Cruz came to blows in a lengthy shouting match on CNN on Wednesday night, the crescendo of which was Cuomo reminding Cruz that Trump once called his wife ugly. The 20-minute argument began when Cuomo asked why Cruz didn't confront Trump over his controversial remarks about Proud Boys, an alt-right group, at Tuesday night's presidential debate. From there, it descended into Cuomo saying Cruz had watched from the side lines, 'stroking his beard like a wise man', while the country suffered from COVID-19. Texas Senator Cruz repeatedly bashed the CNN host's brother, New York Governor Andrew...

Is President Trump planning a murder-suicide with the American people? As hyperbolic, as literally insane, as that sounds, it's what Morning Joe was suggesting today. Morning Joe regular Ed Luce of the Financial Times kicked off the crazed assessment: "He’s saying, 'If I’m going to go down, I’m going to take you down with me.' I think there’s a death wish in his approach to this election that is the mark of somebody who's got a very dark mind."Joe Scarborough ran with Luce's "dark mind" warning, saying: It’s always been a fear about Donald Trump that if he was going...

Retired four-star Gen. Stanley McChrystal has endorsed Joe Biden for the White House, citing his time working with the former vice president under the Obama administration and saying the Democratic nominee is "someone that you can trust." McChrystal, speaking on MSNBC Thursday morning, said Biden “is humble enough to listen to experts, is humble enough to respect people who serve and have served.” “I think that he would surround himself with an effective team of good people, I think he would set a tone in which he would bring out the best of people. Again, not everyone will agree with...

Rep. Kevin Brady is calling for an investigation into the source behind the New York Times’ access to President Trump’s tax documents. Brady (R-TX) is the head Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee. He states there is a possibility that “a felony crime was committed by releasing the private tax return information” of the President. “To ensure every American is protected against the illegal release of their tax returns for political reasons, I am calling for an investigation of the source and to prosecute if the law was broken,” Brady announced. The New York Times report, released on...

A bull moose made an appearance at Woodland Middle School [Coeur d'Alene, Idaho] on Tuesday. Coeur d'Alene School District spokesman Scott Maben said the students were able to all safely leave when school let out, but release took about a half-hour longer than usual because the moose had hunkered down by the bike rack near the west entrance of the school. Coeur d'Alene Police and Fish and Game officials were on scene to ensure the animal was out of high-traffic areas. Students whose bikes were on the racks near the moose were assisted by officers. The students gave the officers...

President Trump has agreed to speak remotely Thursday at the New York Archdiocese’s first ever virtual Al Smith fundraising event amid the coronavirus pandemic, church officials said Monday evening. The Archdiocese has also extended an invitation to former Vice President Joe Biden, who is Catholic, and is hopeful he will also agree to speak at the 75th annual fundraiser, the first being held remotely and not taking place at a location with speakers and hundreds of guests.

by Ron Kersten For months now violent leftists, antifa terrorists and Black Lives Matter have been torching businesses, terrorizing communities, shooting cops, looting stores and rioting in cities across America. But at Tuesday's debate Chris Wallace demanded that President Trump denounce white supremacist violence in our streets. And Joe Biden added that Trump needed to condemn the white supremacist Proud Boys group. This was an atrocious lie. On Wednesday the Proud Boys' Chairman Enrique Tarrio, an African-Hispanic American, spoke out against the smear that Proud Boys is a white supremacist group as Biden and the entire media claims.

Ted Cruz @tedcruz 1/x Everyone agrees Tuesday’s debate was a train wreck. A major contributing fact was the moderator Chris Wallace, a registered Democrat, repeatedly interrupting to try to help Joe Biden. The next debate is set to be moderated by a former intern to...Joe Biden. (And Ted Kennedy.) 8:10 AM · Oct 1, 2020·Twitter for iPhone Ted Cruz @tedcruz · 13m Replying to @tedcruz 2/x This is NUTS. And no Republican should allow this bias to continue in future elections. I propose 2 simple, fair rules for future debates: (1) GOP primary debates should be moderated by people who...

Boeing on Thursday said it plans to consolidate its 787 Dreamliner production at its South Carolina facility next year, a bid to lower costs amid weak demand, marking a blow for its Seattle-area production hub. Boeing in July said it would evaluate consolidating production lines for the widebody jets, which it currently has in both Everett, Washington, and North Charleston, South Carolina, a plant where the workforce isn’t unionized.
