Free Republic

It’s not even Election Day, and as far as the Republican Party is concerned, one race is over. Republican David Tollett’s Democratic challenger Jimmie Lee Wilson has been disqualified to run, due to past convictions concerning federal farm loan use. This clears the path for Tollett to step into the District 12 seat in Phillips County. Democrats say they will seek an appeal. Tollett is the first Republican to take District 12 since Reconstruction.

In recent weeks, Joe Biden has made his willingness to “listen to the scientists” a central pillar of his campaign and a major point of contrast between himself and Donald Trump. He has even said that he would shut down the nation’s economy again to stop the coronavirus if scientists recommended it. Unsurprisingly, Biden has since been endorsed by Scientific American and Nature, as well as 81 Nobel laureates, who praised him for “his willingness to listen to experts.” All told, this represents a startling readiness on Biden’s part to cede much of his decision-making power to a small, unelected intellectual...

Chinese Community Party newspaper said Chinese warplanes "must fly over the island of Taiwan" and warned that Taiwanese government retaliation "means war." An article by Hu Xijin, the combative editor-in-chief of Chinese state newspaper Global Times, came after yet another round of potential U.S. arms sales to Taiwan was announced by the Department of Defense. Hu accused Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of promoting anti-China sentiment through "de-sinicization," working with Washington to "jeopardize the rise of the mainland." Hu cited the Chinese foreign ministry's recent sanctions against American defense companies Lockheed Martin, Boeing Defense and Raytheon as proof of...

To the editor: Republicans and President Trump have been chanting about a “Big Red Wave” sweeping across Minnesota and all across America. That is true, however, what is it that is generating that wave? Is it President Donald J. Trump? Perhaps. It is more so now than four years ago, but what caused the wave four years ago? It’s the same wave this election cycle, but it is much bigger than it was then. Where is all this energy and enthusiasm coming from? I believe all of this is coming from something bigger than President Trump, although he has been...

The biggest interest has come from Arizona, Tennessee and Virginia, all states that — like most of the US — only give residents one shot at the polls. But “in some...

Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that the organized election fraud scheme exposed in today’s Project Veritas video is already under review by investigators from his Election Fraud Unit. “What’s shown in the video is shocking and should alarm all Texans who care about election integrity.

With early voting in full swing and one week until Election Day, the first lady made her 2020 race debut with a 15-minute speech in Atglen, Penn., where she warned the crowd that a vote for the Democratic Party would send the nation “backwards.” “Joe Biden’s policies and socialist agenda will only serve to destroy America and all that has been built in the past four years,”...

Explanation: What would an erupting volcano on Venus look like? Evidence of currently active volcanoes on Venus was announced earlier this year with the unexplained warmth of regions thought to contain only ancient volcanoes. Although large scale images of Venus have been taken with radar, thick sulfuric acid clouds would inhibit the taking of optical light vistas. Nevertheless, an artist's reconstruction of a Venusian volcano erupting is featured. Volcanoes could play an important role in a life cycle on Venus as they could push chemical foods into the cooler upper atmosphere where hungry microbes might float. Pictured, the plume from...

Camila was one of 15 victims scheduled to testify against Raniere on Tuesday, part of...
